This was my second time at Fish and Bird. I love it each time I come. There’s a lovely, calm atmosphere, the food is delightfully unique, a playground for the pallet. We always order the house tofu and the Fried oysters, and this time got the sushimi platter. It took a little while to get the platter but it was worth the wait. The fish was delectable, high quality and fresh. We closed our dinner with the cold udon and that was refreshing as well.

Made reservations for New Year 's Eve Prix Fixe Menue ( $145 per person) of Shabu Shabu Three Ways. We came in, received no greeting, were just shown to our table. Food was just ok, pieces of tempura, consisted mainly of string beans, 2 slices of kombucha & one shrimp.  The Wagyu beef striploin slices were too long, so was the  berkshire pork belly slices, hard to handle & eat with just chopsticks. The broth was also almost unretrievable, due to the fact again, we didn't get/ have the right utensils.Our server was friendly, yet not knowledgable, about saki, food etc, but made an effort. The Owner, didn't even thank or wish us a Happy New Year ,when we left. We thought it wasn't worth it, especially at that price, quiete a disappointment. I / we, would not recommend this place to eat.

We were in the area looking online for where to eat. My friend was really craving Japanese food at that time so we decided to come here. The interiors had an upscale vibe - tall ceilings, open kitchen, and sleek decor. Staff were super nice too.
I got the Chicken Katsu and it was really good! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The ratio of breading to chicken was also just perfect.
Portions are on the smaller side but izakaya food typically comes in small plates anyways.

We arrived on a rainy chilly Friday night, with most other places in Berkeley packed with at least 30mins waits. Luckily, we squeezed into the bar counter here, and it was worth it. The vibe was warm and inviting, perfect setting for a cozy izakaya experience.

The menu didn’t disappoint. The wagyu beef was delicious, and Basque cheesecake was light yet creamy, and the fried chicken stole the show: juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. To top it off, we were pleasantly surprised with complimentary drinks. All in all, a fantastic warm up before our trip to Japan 🇯🇵

Just went for our son's birthday. 1st time eating here and we were not disappointed. They were short staffed and Cal just beat Stanford, Go Bears! Considering they were packed and only 4 servers they were able to handle it very well. We ordered the sea bean & corn tempura, anchovie stuffed olives, both great bar snack food. Next was the sashimi which was very high quality seared tuna, toro, kanpachi, kanpachi belly & sea trout. Our main was the tuna collar which was, as the menu states HUGE! Grilled nicely with rare & well done sections. It was very fatty and delicious! Between 4 of us, 2 adults & 2 children, we ate about 85%. Dessert we had the basque cheesecake & hojicha (roasted tea) ice cream. Needless to say we were stuffed and happy.  We'll be back and look forward to trying more.
