  This is a pretty good place to order if you're looking for dinner or something around San Leandro you should try this place . It's affordable and good . I got a chicken katsu bento box , it came with a side of miso soup for a total of $10.51 which is not bad at all!  Their salad that comes in the bento box is delicious !

  Cheap, fast, filling American sushi with its own private parking lot. Fat Fish Sushi is a great option for lunch or dinner if you're looking for a quick American sushi fix. Majority of the rolls here are a California roll base or deep fried smothered in sauce. And mostly under $10. If this is what you're in the mood for, then this is the place for you.
  
  Occasionally, I do crave good ol' American style sushi. But after being spoiled with fresh, quality fish, I have difficulty enjoying crazy amounts of imitation crab and crunchies without the element of the raw cuts. The Best Friends roll is a decent option. For somewhere between $7 and $12 you receive three, six-piece rolls, for the price of one. This comes with a basic cali roll, unagi and avo roll, and a spicy tuna and cucumber.
  
  It's self-seating, order first and pay, then the food is brought out to you. Utensils and water also self-serve, and for the most part it's a really hassle free experience.
  
  It's helpful that it has its own private parking lot, as finding parking on the busy main street may be a nightmare. During my visit, there was a homeless lady who frequently came in to grab cups of water. Finally as we were leaving, the manager came out to tell her that the water is for paying customers only. I have to applaud that 1. They let it slide the first time and 2. Approached her with kindness but in a stern fashion. I would say the situation was dealt with smoothly.
  
  At the end of the day, I don't think Fat Fish is a must-try or go-to spot for me. I don't think I'd go out of my way or think twice about having another meal here when in the area.

  I mean you have to get your own water, and there isn't really any service if you dine in but I keep going back. It's pretty small and casual. The sushi is cheap and pretty good. I like the pink lady, lion king roll, and others. I may grab it to go or eat it there. It gets the job done. I like the affordable prices.
  
  I wish I could give it a higher rating but yes, the parking is not spacious, the service staff isn't super friendly, you have to get your own water, it looks decent enough inside, etc. It's good yummy cheap sushi. It has its own charm if you have a positive perspective. I'll keep going back.

  This has been a go-to sushi spot for almost a decade now. I don't know why I never wrote a review before!!
  
  It's a hole in the wall in San Leandro that has good sushi for an affordable price. I always love their rolls and they don't disappoint.
  
  There's usually parking but if the lot is full, there's a few spots on the street.
  
  The restaurant is seat yourself, so you order when you walk in. They have a huge menu, so take your tails choosing a roll!
  
  Some of my favorites are the 49ers, cherry blossom, honeymoon, and lion king rolls.
  
  I always get a bento box when I come here too!
  
  They have water near the front you can get, and they serve tea upon request

  I do enjoy the food here a lot if you want a fast sushi spot. What I was not happy about is the customer service. The Employees seem to have a "whatever, I don't want to be here"  type attitude. Usually I don't mind because all I want is the food however last night a younger Hispanic girl who was working register and serving the food was pretty rude and it showed through her body language.  she gave her coworker a side eye as we were deciding what to eat and continued with the dirty looks. When she served us the food she was still rude. It won't stop me from going but it be cool if they all at least had some form of customer service and a hi would be nice to throw in.
