17 Best Sushi Bars in Palo Alto

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

“This is the best sushi restaurant in Palo Alto! We have been to a few of them on California Avenue, and the quality of the food and its affordability at Kanji is certainly the best among them all. We ordered the 15 pieces sashimi platter and the cut of the fish was so thick and satisfying. The sweet shrimps were also very worth it, it was so fresh and they even fry the heads for you. Will come back next time to try their breakfast!“

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

“Hamachi shots were insane. The tofu was some of the best I’ve ever had, super soft and fried just a bit for the perfect thin, crispy texture. The sauce for the tofu was also so yum!!! Crab was pretty good, though both the crab and tofu got soggy quickly due to the sauce. The o toro nigiri was honestly the best thing from this dinner. SO. TENDER. Salmon toro and Ebodai (butter fish) were also tender, but the o toro was unmatched. Honestly could’ve passed on the yellowtail maki, it was very rice-y but still good. Yuzu cheesecake was a great way to end this magical meal. We are moved.“

“The food tastes great! There are a lot of options, so even if you don't like sushi there's plenty of options, like miso and udon. The staff are always patient and attentive. There are many affordable roll options, and the menu is decently priced for the area as well. Great place to go with a partner or a group of friends.“

“Yummy food! Well made! Udon is awesome!“

“😋Best super fresh sushi, without spending what is typically outrageous prices for this area. Good portions, delicious sushi, and really everything on their menu. We go back again and again.“

“One of the best fish courses I ever had. The lady serving our table is very kind and thoughtful about any allergies or other requests we had. Good for gatherings, quiet and spacious. A little tricky to locate the restaurant at first but parking is sufficient.“

“Mmmmmm, so good. And open for lunch. I had the um, I don't remember but it was kind of like an everything roll. Accompanied by two cold Asahi - fuhgeddaboudit. Service was quick for it being a busy lunch spot. Staff is super nice. Definitely check out next time in Palo Alto. I'm addicted to sushi. Cheers!“

“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!“

“Incredibly delicious. Friendly atmosphere. Awesome.“

“good place to dine and very clean“

“My go-to lunch/dinner spot in downtown Palo Alto! Yes, it’s gotten a lot pricier- $18 for a sushi burrito... Yes, I’m still willing to pay that price for this delicious roll. I get the salmon samba every time and it never disappoints. Sometimes sushi doesn’t feel filling enough for a meal but this certainly does the trick for me. What a great flavor and texture combo! I feel good after eating it too like my body recognizes it is a nourishing meal. There’s always open seating options whenever I drop by. I’ve eaten in before but I usually get take-out. Have recommended to friends and will keep coming back.
NOTE: if you want to order ahead, you have to go to their website to order online. Calling won’t work.“
