    We love sushi Ran! It’s our favorite Japanese restaurant in Marin. The quality is fresh. There are a lot of options for our little kids who are foodies - they even eat Ikura! The miso cod is one of our favorite items on the menu. The scallop roll is our favorite roll. Yoshi san (the owner) offers fun and unique premium sales from Japan! He knows where each bottle is from and changes the same menu seasonally. We love coming here to unwind after a long day of work or for a celebration!

    My wife and I had an overall terrific experience at Paseo, dining at 7PM on a Wednesday night in February 2025 in the main dining room. The room was about half full, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. There was pleasant chatter and soft background music, but, refreshingly, it was easy to carry on a conversation Our server, Maya, was cheerful, knowledgeable about the menu, and very efficient. She helped us select their house made Parker rolls, the night’s special crab cake (to share as a starter), the duck breast, and the pork chop. All were delicious, and the portions were generous. Quite by accident we were there on a “Wine Wednesday” which features many bottles at $36 and others hugely discounted. We chose a Pays d’OC Comtesse Marion Pinot Noir which went very well with our entrees. We were too fully for dessert, but the choices looked attractive. Maya took very good care of us which added to our appreciation of the meal. Highly recommended!
