Excellent place to go for lunch in Burlingame CA. Bento box specials are very nice. Reasonable price for the bay area.

Absolutely love Tomokazu! Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The sashimi is top quality, and the rolls are always creative and delicious. The beef short rib and shioyaki saba were also amazing, even though I didn’t get a photo! The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and this place never disappoints. One of the best Japanese restaurants in the Bay Area! 🍣✨

My family's go-to local Japanese restaurant. Kind, thoughtful service and a great selection. The rice porridge is one of my favorite, less-common menu items.

Had a wonderful night out with friends! The staff was welcoming and made everything feel easy, and the food came out so quickly. Loved all of the dishes here, including the Lamb Chop and the Chawan Mushi. I’d happily return.

I’ve been going to Tomokazu for years. I love the authentic vibe and food is always amazing. I tried a lot of things on their menu, and everything comes in great quality. Try their lamb chops and tonkatsu, and you will be surprised!

This place is a HIDDEN GEM and my go to Japanese restaurant in the Bay Area.
Tonkatsu is my favorite, but their sushi and sashimi are very good too - always very fresh and tasty.
The vibe is cozy and it’s also a great place for a group lunch or dinner because they have several private dining rooms available.
Highly recommend!

I had dinner at Tomokazu and it was so good. The sashimi was super fresh and cut nice and thick, especially the salmon and tuna. We tried a few different rolls and the mango roll was my favorite. The lamb chops were tender and not gamey at all, the wings were tasty, and the chawanmushi was hands down the best part. Everything was delicious and I would definitely come back again. The food was so good that I completely forgot to take photos, so the only picture I have is of the sashimi lol

Fresh sushi and great service. Best sushi in the area! Highly recommend the sashimi and 49er roll. Sometimes the restaurant can be a little cold and a bit noisy, but nothing that would stop us from going

When I do take out they always forget the Chopsticks and soy sauce which bugs me because none of the other sushi restaurants forget that especially.... the cashier is very nice but isn't she supposed to make sure I have those things before I leave? Also I do not like that they put sesame seeds all over every kind of role they make
