Mujiri Hayward is now open, bringing quality sushi at affordable prices

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:32:53 GMT

Mujiri, the shoe box-sized sushi joint in Oakland known for quality fish and low prices, has opened a sister restaurant in Hayward.While this a far cry from debuting an outpost at, say, San Francisco Airport, it’s a sign that word of this once-hidden gem has gone out far and wide.Mujiri Hayward, located at 22530 Main St., serves lunch and dinner and is take-out only at the moment. The restaurant needs to do renovations to accommodate dining service, which could take a few months, a staffer said. It’s also not serving alcohol as yet, unlike the original Oakland spot with its sprawling sake list. There’s yuzu and ume soda, sparkling water, Coke and unsweetened green tea.None of which will likely detract people from flocking here. The new restaurant is already posting notices on its website about selling out. It’s not hard to see why: The quality of the fish, sourced from Japan and elsewhere, is top notch. You probably will never look at ika (squid) nigiri the s...
