45 - Geta Sushi - Oakland

165 41st St., Oakland, CA 94611, (510) 653-4643

Last Visit: January 2010

(Image from Yelp.) This place can fit about six tables and a counter, but they do really well with customers out the door on most nights. I have to say the sushi is really good for this hole-in-a-wall place.

The wait is long because the sushi is actually on par with a lot of higher priced sushi places in the area. The staff is friendly, but they are usually too busy to help you in a bind. You're better off getting tea by yourself if you know what I mean. I've tried their rainbow, spicy tuna, and spider rolls and they all came out fine. Their best one are the blue fin tuna dish, which is quite expensive but it's worth the two pieces. I know, we're trying to stop the killing of blue fin tuna, but if only their evolutionary edge wasn't being delicious.

In addition, I've tried their chicken teriyaki, spicy chicken appetizer, and katsu curry rice. The spicy chicken is probably the best, and it's something of a house special. I've never seen it done that simply anywhere else. Watch out, it's a hot one!

Beer is served as well as take-out, so stop on by if you have a chance.
