"Outstanding Dining Experience at a Family-Owned Japanese Restaurant!I recently had the pleasure of dining at this delightful Japanese restaurant in Pleasant hill and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I highly recommend it to fellow food enthusiasts seeking authentic Japanese cuisine and warm, family-oriented service.First and foremost, the food was superb. We indulged in a variety of delectable dishes, including the Beef Teriyaki, Fried Calamari, Golden California Roll, and the Bay Bridge Roll. Each dish was prepared to perfection, with flavors that truly transported us to Japan. The Beef Teriyaki was tender and bursting with savory goodness, while the Fried Calamari had a delightful crispness that left us craving for more. The sushi rolls, including the Golden California and the Bay Bridge Roll, were beautifully presented and filled with fresh, high-quality ingredients. It was evident that the chefs and servers take great pride in their craft.What truly set this restaurant apart was the excellent service. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality. The staff, I think consisted of the family members and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was memorable.

"I love Queens. I moved here during the pandemic for a dream job. I live by the office. I also love sushi. I have been searching for a place such as Kakurega. I have been a regular at great neighborhood joints in other cities. I don't mean the fancy places you save for and splurge on. I mean no nonsense mom and pop businesses with quality fish. Sushi has been done in by its own popularity. There is no shortage of bad sushi available nowadays, even at high price points that should embarrass the proprietors. After two years of looking, I am glad to have found Kakurega. This is what I had in mind. I started with the appetizer of sweet shrimp and salmon roe and sea urchin. It was superlative. They also fried the shrimp head with a light batter. That was a sign this was a good bet. I then had the chirashi. That is the best bang for the buck at a Japanese restaurant. I was spoiled by the now closed Japan Inn of Washington DC. It was a diplomatic haunt with great deals you would not have expected at such a quality venue. The chirashi here was compact but good. It would suffice for most meals. I lingered though. I tried the foie gras for dessert. That also displayed quality. They have an omakase service. That is in a price range for a special occasion. The environment is for young hipsters. It's probably designed for late night and after hours. I was there at 5pm. I was the sole patron. I like the vibe. It has the feel of something secret. My Yelp philosophy has been to write about only places I recommend. I don't feel the need to disparage the others. So here is the summary. If you want great sushi in Flushing or Forest Hills or that vicinity, I have tried all the possibilities. This is the best."
