Mill Valley welcomes the newest bear in the Japanese eatery family from chef Yasuo Shigeyoshi. Oni Kuma (demon bear) joins San Rafael’s Shiro Kuma (white bear) in serving sushi and sashimi, most memorably in a dish of hoseki-bako. True to Izakaya form, the restaurant also offers a variety of eclectic bites to pair with your sake and beer.
Grab a seat at the room-length bar, request a bottle of sake or beer, and dig into a rice bowl (don) – the namesake Oni Don is topped with uni, spicy tuna, scallop, and ikura – a hand roll set of spicy tuna, salmon, and Hamachi; Japanese curry with shrimp katsu; or a minced chicken skewer.
The covered outdoor patio boasts four cabin-like tables adorned with ads from Japanese newspapers, a playful touch.
