Araki Sushi is a charming spot in Palo Alto known for top-notch sushi and sashimi at reasonable prices. The menu offers a variety of options, including Chicken Teriyaki Bento and lunch special Roll combos. The portions are generous, with fresh food prepared in front of customers. The restaurant's location in the heart of the city makes it a convenient and satisfying choice for a meal, attracting both locals and visitors alike.
Customers praise the quality of the rolls, describing them as fresh and tasty. The California rolls are noted for their unique sweet touch, and the super California rolls topped with lemon slices are a favorite. The small sushi restaurant features a clean and bright interior, and the staff is known for their fast service and friendly smiles. While the restaurant does not provide dinner bento boxes, main dishes like beef teriyaki with tempura and chicken teriyaki with California roll are served in generous portions, making them shareable. The monkey brain appetizer has also gained popularity among regulars. The salmon belly sashimi, which is not on the menu, is highly recommended for its fresh and thick cuts. The miso soup and salad are well-balanced in flavor and freshness, while the green tea ice cream is creamy and flavorful, providing a sweet ending to the meal. Araki Sushi's accommodating nature allows customers to stay until 10:30 pm, adding to the delightful dining experience in the lovely atmosphere of the surrounding University Avenue.
