Naked Fish Japanese Cuisine - Hayward

What a sweet neighborhood Japanese spot, right here in the humble town of Hayward... so happy to find them! It's a Friday night and I just started a dryer load of laundry at the laundromat across the street and had forty minutes to pick up a fast dinner. I placed in an order for Spicy Tuna Roll and their Lemon Drop Roll, sub tuna for the salmon, since I love tuna. 15 minutes later, my order is ready and I'm devouring fresh tuna deliciousness in my car as my clothes tumble dry.... Killing two birds with one stone is how I do it. Thank you so much for a friendly, fast, and yummy dinner this evening!

It was Friday date night, and my better half and I didn 't want to drive far, so we tried Naked Fish. We 've driven, but only a few times. It 's in a strip mall by Safe Way and 24 Hour Fitness. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant is small but has roughly 14 tables set up in 4 tops and 2 tops, and there are about a dozen chairs around the sushi bar. Decor is just okay. Don 't sit at the front tables by the door; you will freeze. We did, and we ended up asking to move. The menu is a fairly normal sushi restaurant menu. They did have specials, but we were never told them. They have them written on a chalkboard, but then people sit in front of the chalkboard, so we didn 't see it until after our order was taken. We ordered: Bento Box Two Miso Soups Agedashi Tofu Spicy Tuna Roll Miso soup was super tasty and very nice on a chilly night. Bento was good. My better half enjoyed it. Agedashi Tofu was good. The sauce was a bit salty, but I like that, so it didn 't bother me. The tofu was soft and creamy. Spicy tuna roll--I never received it, so I wouldn 't know. I had the tofu and soup and ordered the spicy tuna roll. My better half and I shared the tofu, and then his Bento arrived. Still no Tuna Roll. My better half literally had one piece of chicken left on his plate when a server asked me, Can we get you anything? I said you never brought me dinner. They never came back and told me why. They did apologize and remove my soup and tofu from the bill. I don 't know if they were understaffed or just focusing more on the number of to-go orders they had, but I left hungry. The staff is very kind. They are the reason for the two stars. I hate downing local businesses. However, the system has to get better. I 'm just not sure how you missed my dinner. Anyway, life goes on. One other thing to note: They charge you for take out containers. You mean if I buy my food, sit down in the restaurant, eat, and don 't finish, I have to pay you more to take it home with me? Nice. I 'll bring Tupperware next time. It was not a great experience, but again, kudos to the staff for trying. I 'll be back to try again. Remember to eat local!

Good , hot tasty food and warm service from friendly servers. They even let me drink my smuggled Kombucha, 絵ヴェンthough they sell drinks.

Come to this place for sushi. They make good sushi. Hidden gem located by Safeway and 24 hour fitness in Jackson, Hayward. Good food!

Very considerate personnel. Excellent service and food. Neat, roomy. I've been here 2 or 3 times.
