Ari Sushi & Tendon features a modern, white interior and offers a variety of Japanese dishes. Guests can enjoy glass noodle appetizers, juicy salmon jaw, and highly praised tendons. The restaurant provides water pitchers and barley tea pitchers for self-service, along with pickled vegetable dishes on the table. The Ari Tendon is authentic and prepared with ingredients fried at the right temperature and time, ensuring a crispy outer layer even with the sauce. It is offered at an affordable price of $15. The Tendon includes shrimp, squid, pumpkin or sweet potato, seaweed, onsen tamago, and a side salad, with a dashi-based sauce drizzled over the rice and tempura. While the Tendon is excellent, some suggest substituting chili with green peppers and adding authentic Shizuoka Wasabi for an extra cost. The sushi portions are generous but could benefit from better vinegar seasoning and texture, as the rice seems to be the same as that used for Tendon. The atmosphere is clean and minimalistic, with remodeled bathrooms featuring Aesop soap. Service is attentive, and staff are welcoming, even accommodating late arrivals. The recent reviews highlight the deep-fried roll with spicy cheese, which is very good, and the friendly, attentive staff. The place is also praised for being clean and modern. Customers appreciate the reasonable prices, especially compared to other sushi spots in the area, and many consider it one of their favorites in the Tri-valley. The aroma of tempura can be strong, but the quality of food and service overall make it a popular choice for Japanese food lovers.
