Butterfish Sushi

About

This neighborhood sushi counter operates with the precision and restraint characteristic of serious Japanese preparation, where each element—from rice temperature to knife cuts—reflects technical training rather than shortcuts. The kitchen moves fluidly between nigiri, ramen, and grilled proteins, suggesting a chef comfortable across multiple disciplines rather than confined to a single specialty. In Berkeley's competitive food landscape, the appeal lies in straightforward execution: quality fish, proper technique, and the kind of casual service that prioritizes the food over theatrical presentation.
