Omakase: Where the food is bland , but the exit has extra flavor! The food at Hirosi lacked flavor and imagination- like eating a PowerPoint presentation. Service was equally dull until the grams finale: we weren’t ordering more, so they practically handed us our coats and showed us the door. If awkward exits and bland bites are your thing this place is a must-visit.

Every dish tastes excellent and has its own personality. The chef is very creative. The texture of the nigiri’s sushi rice was done perfectly, not too soft or hard. When finished eating the nigiri, there was no leftover rice in the mouth and that’s the way it’s supposed to be. Lastly, the green tea panna cotta as the dessert with hot tea served is a perfect ending for this meal.

Food looks very nice. They use the fresh fish store with ice, but they never freeze the fish. This makes the fish have excellent taste.

We had omakase. First seating of the evening. Total of six customers. It was excellent. Some of the sushi were made from simple, common ingredients, but of high quality and expertly prepared and was absolutely amazing compared with similar items you might find at regular sushi places.

The first time we came here the experience was underwhelming, however Hiroshi invited us back and we had an incredible dinner. The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and sitting at the Omakase counter was an awesome and special experience. Also highly recommend their house sake and doing the wagyu add-on. A very authentic omakase experience of high quality! Thank you for a great dinner - we hope to be back soon!

One of the best authentic Japanese sushi restaurants in Los Altos, and even the Bay Area. If you’re looking for an authentic omakase experience, Hiroshi should be on your list. The dining experience is intimate and provides top quality fish flown from Japan. Highly recommend, as the fish was buttery, smooth and delicious.

Hiroshi is special, but in a different way than you'd expect a premiere upscale omakase joint. The atmosphere isn't ultra modern but progressive, and the continuous flowing water on the wall behind the chef delivers a sense of zen that's not easily found in small and personal omakase spots. It's airy. It's refreshing. And this is where you start worrying whether this isn't about the food.
The main chef definitely wants to make a statement. And the story he wants to tell comes through somewhat decently. The simplicity in his creations at times even feels a bit too monotonous but the point is made well. The slightly fermented style of the fish is often balanced with shiso leaves that is layered between the fish and the rice. And the frequent use of salt instead of soy sauce also brings in a different angle. However, my only nit picking here is the similarity of each piece. Yes, I get the various fish and their different texture and flavors. But when shiso leaves are always the counterweight, your palate gets "used" to this.
All the nigiris are top notch. The appetizers were a bit surprisingly "weak" considering the price point. Weak as in a sense of a bit on the mundane side. Nothing wrong with this. Accentuated the ingredients. Again, the chef really was trying to say something but somehow he was shy. The main otoro and the uni were fabulous, but somehow failed to absolutely blow your mind. Again, amazing creations and taste. But the price point makes you expect something spectacular. There's a build up throughout the night, and the highlight doesn't deliver to the anticipation. Tamago could've been a bit more delicate. Again, I'm just blowing fine dust off the pristine countertop.
The ending with the vanilla pudding and hojicha was a touch of mastery. Nothing more here. Absolutely delightful.
Hiroshi is an experience. My ask to the chef is to be bold and bring in a bit more twist and turns into the journey. He's got the skills and the ingredients. It falls short of a Michelin star and I don't expect them to gain one with the current line up. But they absolutely have potential.
⭐️?⭐️?⭐️ Hiroshi in Los Altos is a culinary discovery and beautiful adventure that deserves every accolade it receives. From the moment you step through its doors, you're transported into a world of elegance and sophistication. The high-end design sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.
The service at Hiroshi is exemplary, with attentive staff catering to your every need with grace and professionalism. The chefs, hailing from Japan, bring a level of expertise and authenticity that elevates the dining experience to new heights. Their meticulous preparation and presentation of each dish showcase the finest quality ingredients, particularly the impeccable selection of fresh fish.
What truly sets Hiroshi apart is the omakase experience. Each plate is a work of art, carefully crafted to tantalize the senses and delight the palate. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the meal, from the unique and beautiful presentation to the exquisite flavors that dance across your taste buds. I recommend to take an omakase with caviar ♥️
While the restaurant offers a great selection of red wines, it would be fantastic to see a white Burgundy selection added to complement the delicate flavors of the sushi. Nonetheless, the dining experience remains unparalleled.
Conveniently, Hiroshi offers free street parking, and for those seeking additional convenience, a parking lot is located nearby. Overall, Hiroshi is undoubtedly one of the finest restaurants in the USA, and a must-visit for anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary journey♥️

Superb dining experience! Wonderful presentation for all of the dishes, and all the sushi, beef, and sashimi was fresh and well prepared. Excellent selection of sake, along with a very attentive staff that took care of every little detail. Can’t wait to go back for another meal soon!
Definitely the best sushi restaurant I have ever had in South Bay. The restaurant space is very ambient and cozy. The seats are separated into two parts: the bar and tables. Tables are for more people. I went alone so I sat at the bar. One of the advantages of sitting at the bar is that you can watch the chefs closely. The ingredients they use are at the top most level. You can have wagyu, uni, caviar, and various fish. Each dish is designed carefully with a balanced flavor, especially the sushi. The chef would remind you which shouldn't dip the soy sauce. In general, there's nothing I can complain about. The service is also at the top level. The set of dishes definitely reflects the price you pay. I wish I were richer so I could come here more often.

Was here for a casual dinner for party of 4 on a Friday night, and the place was surprisingly empty (we had to make reservations in advance). Decor was sparse modern and zen, the sushi bar could seat around 8 people and there were various tables for 2-4 people each. Attentive service. The omakase was good, well-paced and portions were just the right size. Food quality was excellent - the sushi courses came towards the end. Great experience overall and probably one of the best in the Bay Area.

Really really good Japanese food - every single serve is exceptional. The fishes are great, freshly picked from different regions in Japan. There are hidden taste and scent in every bite, so watch out for these subtleties. Highly recommended.
