“I love ❤️ to meet my friends here for private gatherings to plot steps fit really big and bold new ideas. My preference is for the 7:17 (give or take) omakase at the bar followed by a night meeting around a square or round table. Each person has two people to talk to at the bar (Me - Jeff- Elon - Mark - Lauren - Priscilla - Sergey- - Larry - Larry - plus 4 additional guests if others can attend - Camelia Me 12 Camelia Typically my wife returns home early by Lyft or Uber but I stay out later and sometimes overnight in Woodside at a suitable location.“

“Not only is the sushi fresh with generous amounts of fresh seafood, but the to-go containers are actually biodegradable! No massive amounts of single-use plastic containers that break your heart!!
I highly recommend Sushiko for their creative rolls, fresh ingredients, and eco-friendly to-go packaging! So grateful“

“Absolutely amazing! The presentation is lovely. The sashimi is so fresh. The soup had so much umami. Even the salad had a light refreshing sesame dressing. They have a sushi train going around the bar area in the center! The jewel is the service. The chef, the server, and the owner John all came to check on us and chat with us! If you are in Los Altos please go to this Japanese restaurant!“

“One of the first dates I had with my wife was here at Yoshi Sushi, and since then, it has become one of our favorite places.

I’ve eaten here many times over the years, and one thing that always makes me happy is the consistency. The food is always fresh, well prepared, and delicious. You can come back again and again and know you’re going to have a great experience.

Everyone who works here, from the owners and managers to the kitchen staff and the sushi bar team, is extremely friendly, organized, and professional. The sushi bar is always clean, and you can tell the team really takes pride in what they do. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality of the food.

Annie, one of the lunch servers, is always friendly, happy, and very organized. She always makes the experience even better.

Yoshi Sushi has become a special place for my wife and me, and we always look forward to coming back. Great food, great people, and consistently great experiences. Highly recommended!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Sushi Heaven! Annie was our waitress, and she is absolutely delightful — full of happiness, positive energy, and genuinely good vibes. She made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The food was excellent. My salmon teriyaki was cooked perfectly, and the salmon and tuna sashimi were both fresh and delicious.

The restaurant has a really nice, friendly atmosphere and is exceptionally clean. Great food, great service, and a welcoming ambiance. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We were a group of 6 all visiting for the first time and we loved it! 5 out of 6 of us did the Omakase tasting. All the courses were delicious and all of the folks there are amazing and welcoming! I highly recommend Sushi Jin. It is great spot and we will go back again.“

“La comida es super deliciosa 👌 y el servicio que ofrecen es excelente“

“All the offerings are tasty. Sashimi is my favorite but I have enjoyed all the rolls as well. Friendly family service.“

“Great sushi! Must get the omakase nigiri or Toyosu special!“

“The BEST Sushi in the Bay Area- FOR SURE“

“Some of the best California-omakaze style I’ve had. The fish quality is absolutely top notch. Some of the more creative “California” dishes are fantastic and some are a bit of a miss.

On one of my visits here there was a strong soapy detergent smell throughout the restaurant. This put a real damper on the experience.“

“Good sushi for good price“

“An amazing sushi experience, highly recommended“

“Nice place to eat, I only give the food 4 stars because the little differences in their rolls compares to others I've had with the same name just wasn't really for me. I ate them and enjoyed them as best I could and had no issues with them just not the best I've tried of rolls with that name.“

“My girl enjoyed the Chef’s menu very much (need to post right after a meal otherwise challenging to find photos…).

The small upscale restaurant was popular with a full house with outdoor seating where we were.

Many tables ordered Al la car like I did & they’d leave early. Chef’s menu takes about more than an hour. Bite-size multiple tapa dishes.“

“Have been going to this place lately. Fresh and delicious. The price is pretty good for 1 combo with sides.“

“Great sushi! My favorite is the crunchy spicy tuna roll. The staff is so incredibly friendly, kind and professional. They always provide great recommendations on which sushi to try. The service is quick and the food is incredibly tasty. Such a wonderful gem in the Palo Alto area!“

“It's a relaxing environment after a long day at work. The sushi was amazing & most rolls are already made w/rice paper which we love. A must try!“

“Authentic Japanese sushi that lets the quality of the ingredients shine.
Each piece is delicate and melts in your mouth.
The chef explains each course as it’s prepared, making the experience relaxed and memorable.
A wonderful place to share with someone special.“

“Love their foods, so delicious and fancy will bring my family & friends there again!!“

“Enjoyed my quick lunch to Bay Sushi. I finally had time to go during their special hours. Pretty packed but seated fast. Miso was so yum, I love how they make it; broth wasn’t too watery and was the perfect temp to slurp it down. Served quickly with my lunch bento. Tempura was crunchy and the dipping sauce made it savory. Gyoza was crisp and the filling was yum. Great price and wonderful service.“

“The 🍣sushi was okay, but the takoyaki and miso soup were overly salty. To be honest, the takoyaki tasted like it was from frozen and was pretty bad. You won't see any piece of🐙 in takoyaki. It was just a breading. However, the service was excellent, which is why I’m leaving 4 stars.“

“The staff were extremely kind and served us well! The food is a good price and definitely worth it, absolutely delicious. Good atmosphere and clean, they also have a restaurant. Me and my 3 friends spent $90 including a tip for our wonderful waitress and got one plate of sushi each. I would definitely recommend this place!“

“Rude and abusive owner, poor quality food, bad location, disgusting on the inside, slow service. There is better sushi at gas stations these days.“

“Wow. The sushi salad was AMAZING, the service was SO great AND the chef gifted us with salmon teriyaki!!!!!! Never even mentioned it was a birthday dinner!!!! Everything was so fresh, textures were amazing and taste was just right sweet, salty and so healthy. Grateful!“

“Exceptional Ginza-Style Omakase in Downtown RWC!

Having tried my fair share of omakase across the Bay Area, Sushi Kinsen has easily earned a spot at the very top of my list. From the moment you walk past the bustling street into the serene, hinoki-appointed waiting room, you are completely transported.Chef Jason’s multi-course progression is an absolute masterpiece. The meticulous level of execution, precise temperature controls, and technical artistry on display here genuinely rival the crème de la crop omakase experiences in Tokyo.

We started the night with a beautifully refreshing, clean glass of mozuku seaweed that set a perfect tone. The sashimi course was incredibly pristine, highlighting sweet, crunchy tsubugai (whelk conch) and perfectly sliced white fish. Another early showstopper was the deeply sweet, masterfully marinated botan ebi (spotted prawn).The luxury ingredients kept coming, showcasing an incredible Hokkaido Kegani (hairy crab) course paired beautifully with premium Shiro Uni. The Awabi (abalone) sequence was arguably the highlight of the entire meal—moving from a comforting, clear dashi broth soup into a decadent, deeply savory abalone liver kimo sauce poured over warm shari. Watching the chef's precise technical skill and knife work right at the counter makes the experience incredibly engaging.Hot courses like the crispy, deep-fried mehikari (greeneye fish) with a squeeze of fresh lime provided an excellent texture contrast before moving into the heavy-hitting nigiri. The sheer freshness of the classic poached Kuruma Ebi (tiger prawn) was only accentuated by the chef taking the time to personally introduce its exact preparation to every guest. Some guests at the counter even complimented his engaging narrative as being equally exhilarating as his food!

The rest of the nigiri hits were just as legendary—the Akami (lean bluefin tuna) nigiri was perfectly structured, and the delicate shiromi (white fish) nigiri featured flawless, intricate scoring. The execution on the back half of the menu is exceptional, particularly the anago (sea eel), which stands as a true pinnacle of craftsmanship. Its natural flavor was complemented elegantly by the deep smokiness of binchotan, yielding just the right amount of crispness on the outside while remaining incredibly soft and delicate on the inside. A fragrant dusting of sansho pepper balanced seamlessly with a subtle hint of salt, culminating in a composed yet explosive symphony of flavors. We also loved the velvety uni chawanmushi, which was pure comfort in a bowl and were surprised by the inclusion of Daisen Uni on the menu!!!!

To elevate the night, Sunny (the manager) suggested pairing the meal with a bottle of Kuroushi 2025 Junmai Ginjo sake, which brought a beautiful, floral, velvety smooth complexity that complemented the richer cuts perfectly.

We finished the evening with a gorgeously presented dessert tray of fresh seasonal fruit (strawberry, blueberries, and shine muscat grape) alongside a perfectly crispy, traditional Monaka ice cream sandwich with homemade coconut ice cream.

Beyond the impeccable food and beautiful tableware, the service from Sunny and the team was warm and highly attentive without feeling stuffy. For the level of craftsmanship and top-tier sourcing delivered right to your plate, this place is tough to beat. Can’t wait to come back for the next seasonal menu!“

“Most unique take on sushi in the Bay Area. Think “elevated sushi,” with a specialty in drawing out deep, full-bodied flavors through dry-aging.

We’ve been here a number of times, and it’s consistently one of our favorite sushi experiences. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the chefs make it feel personal every time.

I also swear the cuts of fish get noticeably thicker once we get the chefs a little drunk, though they’ll never admit to it.

If you’re looking for traditional sushi, there are plenty of great options around the Bay. But if you want something more distinctive, especially if you’re interested in dry-aged fish and seeing how much flavor can be pulled out of great ingredients, Sushi Ai really stands out.“

“Good legit Japanese restaurant. The chicken karaage was very tender and juicy. For some reason it was very spicy. The sukiyaki was ok. The beef was a little tough but tasted good. We also got a teriyaki salmon and assorted tempura. The salmon was a little over cooked. which I expected it to be better. All in all a great place for a good representation of Japanese cuisine.“

“From the warm greeting everyone receives when walking through the door to the attentive and super friendly service, this place is amazing! The sushi was outstanding… hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! The texture, taste and presentation was top notch. Wish there was a location on the east coast!“

“New restaurant in what used to be a great hole in the wall breakfast spot. Now it’s “high end” sushi in an old hole in the wall breakfast spot.

Prices are a bit higher than average but quality was standard. The chirashi ($40+) bowl was great with thoughtfully presented flavors but the mango tuna roll ($20+) had a piece of skin/tendon in every bite.

Service was doing the best they could during a busy dinner rush. They forgot one of our rolls entirely and tried to make that up to us.

They included miso soup and salad which I’m not sure is standard as it’s priced out separately in the menu.

Overall the price did not match the service and atmosphere, I understand we are in weird economic times but that made paying $20+ for a roll with chewy bits all the more disappointing.“

“If you haven't been here you are completely missing out on perfect sushi 🍣. Been going here for 8 years now and it has the same amazing quality. The people who work here make you feel like family. Cannot recommend it enough“

“absolutely the best sushi I've had in a long time! the staff is super friendly, I will definitely be going back!“

“Los invito a todos a disfrutar de un buenísimo sushi!! 100% recomendable!! sabrosos y accesibles ;)“

“Found a new favorite sushi spot and I'm already planning my next visit. The ambience hit the perfect balance, clean, comforting, and welcoming without feeling stuffy. The staffs were very nice!

What really stood out was the quality of the fish, thick, generous cuts, not the thin, skimpy slices you sometimes get elsewhere. The rice was perfectly done, and the rolls were satisfyingly filling rather than all rice and no substance.

I tried the spider roll, unagi lover roll (this one was a standout — amazing), Philly roll, and tamago and tobiko nigiri. Every piece delivered. Portions were generous, and the prices were genuinely fair for the area, which made the whole experience even better.

Will absolutely be back. Highly recommend if you're looking for sushi that doesn't cut corners on quality or portion size.“

“Today was my first time here since I moved a year ago. I've wanted to try this place and finally made it happen. It's a lovely facility, immaculate and the staff is friendly, the prices are right! I tried their Lion King Roll and the Godzilla Roll; they are so delicious and their drinks. I was in a mood for sake bombs and enjoyed it very much; the waiter was very attentive and had good recommendations. I will be a customer from now on. I highly recommend them.“

“This place is great. The dinner combo with two items (selected salmon lover roll + sashimi), miso soup and salad is great value and tasty. Really enjoyed the sashimi and salmon lover roll.

Can order from QR code on table but someone took our order directly.“

“It’s like walking into a neighbor’s home for dinner, quiet and cozy, and you naturally strike a conversation with people sitting next door. Food is nothing exceptional but tasted fresh. A bit pricy to my standards but I guess maybe that’s the norm nowadays in the Bay Area. 🤷“

“I like to get takeout here, and it’s always good but tonight was phenomenal. The presentation was really pretty, the Cali roll was delicious as always, and I appreciate how thick the slices were. The staff is super friendly and quick. I prophesied that many more Cali rolls from here will follow the same path these did.“

“Always great food & service! Clean, friendly & fresh food! Thank you again!🤗♥“

“Best sushi hands down! 🍣🍣“

“Great service, food was delish. Chef made special sushi dish ( not on the menu) that was FIRE! My new to go place.❤️❤️❤️“

“Absolutely amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ best sushi!“
