“Not a lot of sushi in the sampler. Food we did get was good but not exceptional. Generally just ok value not great. Atmosphere is ok. Staff is very nice. Feels like a small local establishment. Wasn't busy on a Friday night when other nearby sushi places had 2 hour wait.“

“The patio dining is a great option but I heard the bar calling. A seat presented itself as I approached and prompt, professional service enhanced every drop of beer, both before and after lunch.“

“Recommend getting a reservation before going. Service was a bit lacking, no welcome, and a bit rude. Luckily, most everything is automated. Food was decent. There was one issue with us not getting one of our orders but it was eventually resolved by staff, albeit again, not in the most friendly manner. Fish seemed fresher than another location of this chain so will probably return.“

“Good selection of healthy foods. Their beef is so tender . Fried rice is to die for. The chef Heli is so professional, very precise and amiable. Our waitresses/server , Maya, was so pleasant and attentive to guests . Next time I go back I have to try their seafood selections. My only complaint is the location . It should be out there along Stevens Creek like in Santana Row rather than hidden in that dark corner of the complex. But definitely I will recommend it to my friends.“

“Enjoyed the omakase and sake pairing. Fish was fresh and well prepared. There were a couple of pieces, e.g. hirame, I wasn't crazy about because they were chewy but that's a personal preference. Service was fantastic, super efficient. Highly recommend!“

“Only down side is small parking lot. Do recommend street parking since the lot is very small
Recommend: Sashimi and Nigiri is well prepared. But everything is fairly pricey
The sushi here is very good and well made. Good quality fish“

“Good sushi for the price. I usually get the lunch nigiri special to go and they are pretty good about special instructions in the online order. Quality of fish has been decent and the miso and salad is also fresh and good quality. I just wish they would do something about the smell? fragrance? inside.. it smells like a combo of bleach and some room freshener.“

“The sushi here is seriously good - fresh ingredients, creative rolls you won’t find anywhere else. The Fuji Roll? Absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly, even if the vibe inside feels a bit cramped and could use a deeper clean. It’s a small spot, so I’d recommend takeout or delivery over dining in. For the quality of food though, it’s worth it.“

“Daigo’s food is absolutely delicious. The ji kimedai was outstanding, and the Homemade ice cream dessert (MUST TRY!!) at the end was the perfect finish. It’s easily one of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve had in the Bay Area in this price range.“

“Katsu is a refined, intimate omakase experience that redefines what it means to dine with intention. With only eight seats at the chef's counter, the chef-owner, Katsu Maruyama, treats everyone as a special guest.
The omakase menu evolves with the seasons; the meal's pacing is thoughtful, allowing diners to savor each bite while engaging with Chef Katsu, who shares insights into his techniques and ingredients. The fish is incredibly fresh (often flown in from Japan), and the rice is perfectly seasoned.
The atmosphere is calm and minimalist, allowing you to focus entirely on the food.“

“This sushi spot is down the street from my house and it's quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Granted I usually come in for lunch and order a bento box. I love the spicy chicken teriyaki, veggie tempura and California rolls. Their Chile. Matsu was good but I prefer the teriyaki. Their miso soup is tasty.
Restaurant is typical sushi restaurant size. They may accommodate larger parties with notice. The art on the wall is movies, action figures, and things of that nature
I haven't tried too much outside of that so I will have to order more when I go next time. I want to order specialty rolls. Will update the review after the fact.“

“The chef is very professional and the ingredients are very fresh. The chef tastes the ingredients himself every morning and cooks them fresh. They are so friendly and friendly that they remind me of my parents. There are so many menus that I ordered several and tried this and that, all of which were successful. The salmon rolls, especially the fresh and fragrant ooni, were fantastic. Salmon sashimi melted in my mouth and I don't know how many plates I ate 😂😂😂 It's worth coming. Make sure you visit!“

“My wife and I finally visited this place, and we actually don’t live that far away. It is a definite keeper. We both had combo dinners and the tastes are delicate and delicious for both teriyaki and tempura. Did not try the sushi. Very friendly service. Overall excellent place for our tastes.“

“The sushi is so fresh it melts in your mouth. It’s so good. It’s a quaint almost hole in the wall type place but it’s clean and the people are friendly and attentive. It’s a definite must if you like sushi. Prices are reasonable and a tiny bit high on some dishes but it’s worth it. I will be going back again and I’m sure lots of times 😋“

“I was just driving by in the area and wanted some Sushi and decided to stop and check it out. I'm so happy I did. The music was definitely a whole vibe. The R & B mix with Rap was giving me life. The service was top tier and the food was fresh and delicious. It will be my new hang out spot on my days I want to grab a drink and relax at the bar.“

“The food tastes great! There are a lot of options, so even if you don't like sushi there's plenty of options, like miso and udon. The staff are always patient and attentive. There are many affordable roll options, and the menu is decently priced for the area as well. Great place to go with a partner or a group of friends.“

“A few super authentic Japanese Restaurants in the Bay Area. Main Chef Eric is experienced 20+ years. You can ask his Omakase (Chef Choice). Once you taste Mikado’s super fresh Sushi and Sashimi, it is really hard to find the satisfaction from other places. Their Kitchen Items (grilled items, tempura, and Udon) also absolutely good.“

“From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us like regulars — warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. Service was flawless all night: timely drink refills, thoughtful answers to menu questions, and spot-on recommendations that made ordering easy and fun.
The sushi is insanely fresh. Every roll and piece of nigiri tasted clean, perfectly cut, and beautifully balanced. Whether you’re into classic sashimi or more creative rolls, everything is done right. The menu is also impressively broad — not just sushi, but tempura, grilled dishes, and specialty items that clearly show how much they care about quality. Personally, I’m a big fan of the sake kama (salmon collar) — rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.
The atmosphere strikes that rare balance of traditional and relaxed, making it ideal for date night or a special dinner with friends or family. We didn’t do a tatami room this time, but even the main dining area felt cozy and authentic. There’s real sushi culture here — not just good food, but the full experience.
Parking and reservations were easy (a huge win in Palo Alto), and I left already planning my next visit. If you’re looking for excellent sushi, genuinely kind staff, and a place that truly delivers on quality, this is it.“

“We sat at that counter, facing the men preping the food. The shushi was amazing and tasty. The service was fast, and the environment was cozy as well. The only disappointment was their takiyoki balls that each had only one small piece of octopus inside.“

“Kenji sushi has a large amount of items to choose from. The sushi was delicious and the restaurant was popping with people and good vibes. The rolls we ordered were delicious. This is a nice spot to come and enjoy some fresh rolls and drinks with your family or friends. Just be careful when parking or leaving. Since it’s a small parking lot. Its definitely a tight squeeze. Make sure to order yourself a mocktail and some appetizers while you’re waiting for your rolls, sashimi or your main dish. I suggest order some takoyaki. All in all its a decent place thats not overpriced.“

“Great sushi place! The fish was very fresh and every dish was well prepared. Good sized servings too. There was a bit of a wait on Friday night string 7pm but no more than 20 minutes as the service is quite and the tables turn over pretty quickly. Will definitely come back.“

“Mountain View's Downtown area is so cute and I love that it's blocked off from cars so the center is a walking street. There are tons of restaurants and shops in the area, but if you're craving sushi or Japanese food, you have to 🔖bookmark Sushi Arashi! The prices are very affordable and the portions are generous.
If you're looking for an Instagram worthy dish that's both delicious and worth paying for, get the Omakase Box! It's $55, but worth it. Each chef's choice was well selected and super fresh. This place also has a huge selection of special rolls if that's more your style. The fish portions are big and they don't use too much rice like some other places. There are also Udon and Teriyaki dishes to choose from for those who aren't big on seafood.
🍣
• Omakase Box (highly recommend!)
• Hamachi Kama
• Hot Kiss (Baked Roll)
• Dragon Roll
🚗 Parking can be a little tough in the area depending what time you go, so plan ahead
🐾 Dog-friendly patio!“

“Our family has been to Sumo many times because it's a family favorite. Our kids love the kids meals (rice, miso soup, and salmon or chicken teriyaki) and the sushi train, where we usually pick a few rolls and mochi for dessert. We love the variety of the menu and freshness of the food most of the time. Depending on the day, the texture of the rice can be improved and sometimes the offerings on the sushi train are limited, but the excellent service more than makes up for it. The restaurant is full of regulars that the staff remembers. A few favorites from the menu include the tempura ramen, all of the rolls, the agedashi tofu and the mochi ice cream. Highly recommended as a family friendly establishment that serves above average food, a quiet and fun ambiance, and great service.“

“Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the nigiri :) food was good, especially the agedashi tofu. The salmon lover was okay, but what made up for it was the amazing service. They were kind and very friendly while also not being overly intrusive.“
