  Bottomless sake?? OKAY!!
  
  This is the only place I know of that does free sake refills. Masu sake - 5.50$ with a 15$ minimum food order per person. Excellent bang for your buck.
  
  Four of us thoroughly enjoyed our evening. I had gone with low expectations as the food is not pricy at all. But I was very happy with the outcome. Almost everything we got was appreciated by everyone.
  Appetizers - agedashi tofu (fried soft tofu), combination tempura (4/5)
  Sashimi/ nigiri- sashimi combination (20$)-great selection of fresh, tasty fish. Uni nigiri - 2 pieces for 13.5$ - soft and luscious (5/5)
  Maki / rolls - They have a good selection of rolls. Philadelphia roll (3/5), California roll (3.5/5), rainbow roll (4/5), raiders roll (4.5/5), Romeo roll (4/5).
  Dessert - banana tempura with chocolate sauce. That was pretty weak (2.5/5)
  
  It's definitely a great spot for a group hang out. Eat, drink, and be merry!

  Love it!! Service was friendly and attentive. One thing I loved was there signs all around that said if you need a ride let us know. Don't drink and drive. For me that spoke volumes on how they love their community and customers. My Lion King was Amazing, it was so fresh. Bluefin is still my #1.
  
  The ambiance was pleasant and the place was very clean. The staff made it feel like I belonged.

  There's a lot of sushi restaurants in Oakland. As far as the sashimi, this place is average. The rolls are the way to go. I've been coming here for years and the service has always been outstanding and consistent. What makes this place unique is the bottomless sake. Great place for friends to meet up.

  I made a reservation for this place in advance for a party of 5. My friends and I came on a Saturday night at 7pm. Parking is rough in the area. This is a small little place near the Lake. We came in and got our table, and saw the menu. We were at a table for 4 and they added a folding chair to make it 5. They do a special bottomless sake for a little under $6. The sake tasted more like sochu/soju more than the usual sake I've had. I ordered a sushi sashimi combo for $22.50. The dinner bento came came with sashimi, nigiri, and a dynamite roll (salmon, tuna mixed with spicy mayo). Overall the taste was okay, I was still hungry after my bento order. I wouldn't say their sashimi was the best I've ever had however for the Lake Merrit area I guess it's considered convenient. Overall, the place is okay, my friends did get a little turnt with the sake. Overall I might come back to get the aycd (all you can drink) sake, however I wouldn't really come here for the sashimi or nigiri rolls. I do want to say my friends chicken katsu did look bomb af!

  This review is for the bottomless sake experience with the groups of friends that I bring for fun nights of debauchery.  
  
  Coach Sushi is a small restaurant along Grand Ave. across from Lake Merritt that has decent sushi but many usually go for the bottomless sakes. I was lucky enough to be able to make a reservation fir a large group of friends on a Friday night.  
  
  We arrived a little late for our reservation but they still accommodated our soon to be crazy group.  Of course, we all wanted the bottomless sake.  I think the price was just $3.50 extra if we spent at least $10 on food so we were good to go.  I usually get the happy salmon combo, which came with all salmon sashimi, nigiri, maki, and hand roll.  It was yummy!
  
  Then, the bottomless sake came out and I gotta give a shout-out the sake queen server, Peng, who kept our sake boxes flowing all night.  She is always so accommodating and didn't skip a beat in serving us.  She also explained that in order to do it correctly the first time, you need a little salt on the edge of your sake box and you have to take the first drink with no hands.  She also proceeded to take pictures of our group- lol.
  
  Needless to say, our group got a good buzz and enjoyed the night.  We then Ubered to karaoke to sing our hearts out.
  
  Thanks Coach Sushi for continuing to be the bottomless sake icon of Oakland!
