Dashi Japanese Restaurant

The owner John is absolutely wonderful! Not only do you get high quality food and drinks here but you get to be entertained by John the whole time. He takes time to come and talk with each table and make sure that you are enjoying the food. This is such a local gem of a restaurant and a must go when in Menlo park for sushi! The quality of the food speaks for itself!

Food comes out super quick. The green dragon is simple but probably my favorite roll I’ve had in my life. The owner is a great guy.

Gotta love small places like this where the owner is on deck and takes pride in his restaurant. Value to price was awesome. Bunch of Stanford students drive out here probably for this reason. The lunch sashimi bento box was outstanding. Cheers and ty for having

This place is great! I’ve been coming here for a really long time (over 18 years). Food is great! My favorite is the Spicy Ramen on a cold day. The broth is so flavorful. But to be completely honest- EVERYTHING is great. Teriyaki dishes are so good. The rolls are fresh and super tasty and well rolled (these never fall apart!). The owner and his wife (John and sunny) are so friendly. Have a glass of plum wine, a beer or soju and enjoy some great food!
