Very high quality fish with great portion sizes. I came here with a few friends and we were all very satisfied. I got the dinner combo with 2 orders of sashimi (16 pieces total) and the pieces were very big, fatty, and high quality. My friends got the sake don (also very high quality salmon) and the chicken katsu, which came with a mountain of chicken katsu and was great for the price. I will definitely be coming back as this is one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to in the bay area.

Good for some fast din Generous portion sizes. We tried the katsu which came in a large messy pile. Also got the dinner combo with the beef teriyaki (ok) and the salmon lover roll (really bomb). Their fish is pretty solid. If you do go for the dinner combo just be aware that some items are much more high yield than others so look at the individual prices of the components

Sushi here is great. Big fish portion, tastes fresh. Quick and professional service. Not insanely priced. All in all, I would definitely come back as my favorite place for reasonably priced great sushi.

Sushi Arashi has great bento boxes and sushi boxes. I love that they have sushi boxes because most places only have a bento box. Their fish is fresh and generous in size. I’ve never ordered from the main menu - just the boxes that are on the first page. It’s a spacious restaurant and I love that the tables are not all squished together even though there is room to put more tables. It’s usually quiet and we end up getting a comfy booth.I usually don’t order take out Japanese food but their bento was good even on takeout.

TLDR: Dragon Roll. Salmon Sashimi. I'm frankly quite shocked how good this place is. I've come across it so many times! But the front looks so unassuming. Plus it was pretty empty when we came in around 6:30pm. There were maybe 2 or 3 occupied tables. By the time we left, there were a few more, but still no wait for such a great place like this. I consider this a great find! I wasn't expecting much, especially since many of the wait staff were Chinese. But every sushi we had was super awesome and yummy! As with all new Sushi places, our go-to sushi is the Lion King roll. This one was super creamy and just literally melts in the mouth. Plus there was no weird taste... it tastes exactly how I expect. But what made it awesome was the creaminess of it. We also got the Dragon roll (another of our go-tos). I didn't like it as much as Dragon roll, but it was still very very good. I guess it's not as creamy... but the eel had a nice taste to it. But the last thing I got, and was more like a filler dish, turned out to be the star of the meal, and the reason for the 5 stars.... the salmon sashimi. Yeah... I was just like you, dear skeptical reader... salmon sashimi? How PERFCTLY PEDESTRIAN! And that's why I ordered it... since I didn't feel 2 rolls was enough for me. But I have to be honest with you... it was LITERALLY the best sashimi I've had in Bay Area. Hey, I watched "Dreams of Jiro", and other Japanese cooking shows... I'm not saying it's at THAT level. And if you look at the pics, you'll notice they are quite thick slices. But, that's the beauty of it! You give 4 big honking slices! What a GREAT deal! And they taste chilled, and creamy. It's a bit hard to describe, but they are definitely a good value for the price, and tastes good! 5 Stars! My wife ordered a Shio Saba. I don't like that flavor... it's too delicate for me. But my wife loved it as well. She said it had taste but she could still taste the fish. To me, it smelled to fishy... like my precious cat's food. With the no-wait, great deal, and great sushi. I definitely can't wait to come back!

When it opened it was amazing and I gave it 5 stars. The food was exception down to the salad with everything fresh. I was thrilled to have such a great affordable sushi restaurant in mountain view. Unfortunately last time I went 2 months later, the quality was not as good. It was quite average. Although I still think their lunch bento is a good value. But the California rolls that came with my bento lunch seemed off. Like it was expired. Had sour taste to it. I had one and wish I didn't.

I came here with a picky eater and she loved the sushi so that speaks volumes. I had salmon and yellow tail sashimi and toro. The fish was fresh and delicious. The portion was also very good, the sashimi was sliced nice and thick. I'll definitely be returning.

Food wasn't good. Look at how messy this roll is. The waiter was real awkward and never greeted or acknowledge us. The environment in the restaurant was real awkward n silent. Wouldn't recommend

Good, not great Sushi. Generous portions. Prompt service, but not charming. Sub-par decor.

It's ok, I wouldn't order premium nigiri like uni or sweet shrimp there but would probably come back for their rolls.
not bad at all. server was helpful and looks out for your wallet recommending the best combinations for lowest cost. The sushi rolls were very good.

Went here during a lunch break on a Saturday and there was no wait! We were seated right away and the area was clean and spacious. The portions were great, fish tasted fresh and they are very quick with bringing out the food. I ordered the classic rainbow roll but my favorite was the #7 Sexy Lady Roll ($14.95 with shrimp tempura, crab topped with tuna, eel, avocado, tobiko & sauce and tempura crumble)- super delicious! Also got the agedashi tofu appetizer but I thought it was okay. I'm used to it being crispy but it was more on the chewy side My foodie companion ordered the bento box chicken kara-age, they finished it all so I'm going to assume that they enjoyed it! Overall it's a good spot for lunch/ dessert for any size party! I would definitely come back and recommend this location. There is no direct parking in the front but there is street parking and a nearby parking lot a block away. It is located in downtown Mountain View so it can get busy but we were lucky that it was not too crowded and to find parking right away.

Came here for lunch. We got the omakase for $55 per order. The tuna, oyster, shrimp and salmon are my favorite. So fresh and great quality! Will come back for more!

Before I get into the review, I want to point out that this restaurant uses peanuts/nuts as a garnish for some of their dishes so be warned!! If you have a nut allergy, let the server know!!! Came on a Sunday at 1pm and the place was crowded! Once we ordered, I swear our food arrived in less than 5 minutes. The entrees came out before the appetizers. Even though it was the weekend, you could still order from the lunch menu which was nice. In terms of the ambiance, the space felt a little cramp and it's not super big. -Soft shell crab (4/5 stars): Hot and crispy but I wish the breading wasn't so thick. There were diced peanuts or some type of nuts that were used as a garnish which I wasn't a fan of. -Agedashi tofu (4/5 stars): The tofu was delicious but not as crispy as I would like. Again, there was a peanut/nuts garnish on the dish. -Lunch roll combo (5/5): This is a great lunch deal because you can pick two rolls or a 1 roll with sashimi for your combo. Generous amount of food and they definitely don't skimp out on the portions. -Sashimi combo 12 pieces (5/5 stars): Super thick cuts of fish that were fresh and tasty.
Very high quality fish with great portion sizes. I came here with a few friends and we were all very satisfied.
