This is our regular sushi place. Please try the mango special which is a delicious salmon, avocado, cream cheese, mango and lemon, so yummy! The service is always great!

Sorry. I'm such a a snob for authentic Japanese cuisine having lived in Japan for so long.
But today was leg day at the gym, and normally anything eaten after a leg day workout would taste divinely. So expectations were low from the start, which should have been a good thing.
But here, the food and experience was way off, a huge letdown: the sashimi was still frozen, artificial coloring enhanced and terrible quality; the sashimi cut was amateurish with pieces still stuck together; the wasabi paste was intentionally mixed to be overpowering so that the mediocre flavor of the sashimi wouldn't be noticed; same with the teriyaki sauce being over pronounced to hide the low quality beef; I didn't even touch the salad because the lettuce was soggy and old looking; and the rice? definitely not even Japanese style as it was dry and tasteless. Oh and the miso soup was definitely nothing special, perhaps made from a commercial paste or powder, with one unidentifiiable piece of vegetable in it ... Was that supposed to be a green onion? One small cut of green onion?? Try adding small pieces of tofu and more green onions to give a good first impression if served as an appetizer, as is normally done here at Japanese restaurants here in the US. And with presentation, never have stray pieces of salad ie shredded carrots fall onto the sashimi / main entree. It shows inattention and carelessness, which is definitely not characteristic of the authentic Japanese experience. Nothing less than attention to detail is expected.
I really don't want to bully the people here because the service was okay. It's just that there's a lot of room for improvement. People who haven't been to Japan would get the wrong idea about Japanese food.

I got the beef teriyaki and tempura lunch special for $12.95. With a tip still under twenty bucks. The beef was more tender than other places I've tried. The tempura was delicious and included one shrimp tempura, and the rest was vegetables. It also came with rice and a small salad. There are sushi boats here I'd like to come back and try. The staff told me for now, the boats are operating fridays and weekends only. While I waited for my to go order, I spoke with a very friendly employee who said the restaurant has been there for thirty years. This restaurant is definitely worth a try. I will be coming back. It's right next to lowe's in San Bruno.

Friendly, fast service. Food is excellent and less expensive than comparable restaurants. They have a rotating sushi boat that's always a draw for my family when we dine in. Place is on the small side but it hasn't been crowded when we visited the last 4 times.
