50 Best Sushi Bars near San Bruno

“The best sushi place in SF…I am a sushi lover. The fish there are so fresh and the Uni are premium. From the sashimi to the Kobe beef, everything is top. Their pricing is also very reasonable. Eric and Phoebe are very nice and provide excellent service.“

“Love their service and their sashimi and sushi. Very good and �!“

“I've been going here for a few years now and the food is always delicious. They always have a table open and the service is fast and friendly. Their portions are always well sized and filling. The price is also very good for what you get.“

“We got the mango salmon roll, rainbow roll, oysters, and a few nigiri. The mango salmon roll was fine. The rainbow roll used imitation crab. For the price, they should have used real crab meat. The usual sushi place we go to uses real crab meat and is cheaper. The oysters tasted pretty neutral although I wasn’t too fond of the citrus jam they paired it with. The nigiri were all fresh but the price is only for one piece and they are small pieces. I think we will give other places a try before coming back here.“

“I’ve been going there for over 30 years. It’s the best tasting most reasonably priced Japanese food I have ever found.“

“My friend brought me to this restaurant. I was amazed at the amount of food you get in their lunch specials. A good portioned ball of rice that is a good portion. It is serviced with salad and terriyaki beef, chicken, or salmon. Along with that in a bento box you get 6 sushi rolls. I had the CA roll, fresh salmon, and smallish gyoza. All that for $17.95. What a deal!!

The service is excellent. Daniel is a very nice man who works the register and takes orders. He was so kind and understanding because we couldn't go inside because of my friend's condition she cannot walk. He offered to bring the food out to us. Who does that anymore.

The atmosphere felt comforting. The customers all looked pleased and happy.

I WILL make this restaurant one of my go to's now. Come see for yourself. You won't be disappointed. They ROCK!!“

“This place is a genuine gem. I really like coming here. Food is excellent and staff are great. The owner is a sweetheart and if you come solo or as a couple sit at the bar and treat yourself to the chefs and staff they are incredibly welcoming.“

“Pros: Fresh and good food. friendly staff, very affordable Cons: Hard to find a place to park in that part of town.“

“I think it’s great. I really like the chicken and shrimp with rice. I’ve had the beef and that was very good too. Very well priced considering everything is expensive these days. I just hate the parking situation. You have to park far and walk over because they are in the mall“

“Best Omakase in town.“

“Watermelon 🍉 Roll; no rice, refreshingly good Fried seafood chips appetizer; I wanted it as a meal it’s a different yum 😋 Ice cream sandwich wow!“

“Enjoyed omakase 8pcs with some age dashi tofu, nigori sake and the white peach panna cotta!“

“Exceptional service. Delicious, artfully presented omakase at a reasonable price point.“

“It’s cozy, good and fast service and the food is high quality. We got the top secret and hamachi carpaccio which I would definitely get again, then for main dish we ordered curry rice (little bit of spice, nice crispy pork) and mentaiko yaki udon (flavorful, not too heavy noodles were perfectly cooked) which were good but would want to try other items that also looked good on the menu. Definitely recommend!“

“I think it must take a lot of effort to source the ingredients to be able to serve sushi of this caliber in San Francisco. It's a great honor to be a fishmonger.‼️“

“My new favorite sushi place!!

Would recommend Shrimp Tempura Rainbow Roll and Cherry Blossom. Can’t go wrong with seaweed salad and nigiri to start.

The service was really good, friendly and efficient!“

“Great food, great service. The Calamari is top notch!“

“Grrrrreat SUSHI, nice daily ordering menu, quick Service...and then there is wonderful BETTY. Always fun, friendly and helpful. Hip, hip hooray ❤️ Xenry & Bob“

“It's hard to beat $2 nigiri!

Super cute sushi spot that serves up a too good to be true happy hour and vegan sushi! They do have actual fish and alternative fish :)

Their happy hour is daily from 5-9pm which is amazing and they have an ayce vegan sushi deal as well. They have more than just the $2 nigiri in their happy hour menu, you can also get rolls and hand rolls!

I thought their fish quality was fresh and the nigiri was delicious! The rice was a little heavy but overall super enjoyable! My favorite was definitely the toro and saba. I also really enjoyed their blue crab handroll. I was too full to try their rolls but I could smell the lion king roll and it smelled delicious.

Parking can be tough but it's in a charming neighborhood. Staff and service were awesome! I would definitely come back!“

“Excellent meal here. The miso sea bass was delicious, and the nigiri in the seasonal omakase was great. Wagyu nigiri was a standout. Our waitress/server was fantastic also! one of the best sushi/omakases in san mateo in my opinion! pricing is absolutely reasonable too.“

“The food here was definitely the highlight. Everything tasted pretty fresh and flavorful, and overall I would rate the food about 4/5. The ingredients seemed good quality and the dishes were enjoyable.

However, the service was a bit disappointing. The staff did their job, but they didn’t feel very welcoming or friendly. There wasn’t much interaction beyond the basics, and with the price point here, I expected a more warm and attentive experience.

The atmosphere was also just okay. It wasn’t fancy or fine dining, but it also didn’t really give a strong Japanese vibe either. The environment felt a bit mixed and not very memorable.

Overall, I’m giving 4 stars mainly because the food was good. If I rated the experience as a whole (food + service + atmosphere), it would probably be closer to 3/5. Still worth trying if you care mostly about the food.“

“Sushi was delicious and service was great! Not a romantic spot though because it’s loud but fun if your going with family and friends. Music is good!!“

“Amazing 🐋🐟🐟🐬🐠🐟🐬🐋🦀🐟🐋🐋souchi“

“Woah, the greatness of the sushi was unexpected as I was caught off-guard!! My hubby took me here for a regular Frid eat out night. Omg, every bite of my sushi tasted heavenly!! I felt so special like it was my bday as I slowly savored each morsel of divine deliciousness!! Phew! So amazing!! Love the intimate, cute atmosphere, &the service was warm & attentive. Id surely be back here soon with the rest of the fam, & later with friends! Stay great Ryoshin!!“

“My “Go-To” sushi spot in SF!! Sushi is great and the people are awesome in here. Family owned and operated. I love supporting them. Will bring my family in here soon for LOTS of rolls again.

My wife’s favorite is sunset strip and mine is the winter wonderland.

Thank u Stephanie for your great service! Miso soups great too, not too salty like the others.“

“I love Yoma cafe, the food is amazing, great price, the owner is always so welcoming and nice to everyone.“

“Amazing sushi! Easily one of the best we’ve had in a while — everything was so fresh and flavorful. I love the idea of half rolls; it’s such a great way to try more kinds of sushi. The staff were super attentive and efficient. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Our server Lillie was very good, the food was hot and the gyoza and 🍜 ramen were tremendous, wonderful neighborhood place“

“Always Been Our Go-To For Any Occassion. Everything Is Great But Their Oyster Shot Is The Best“

“I know this place for a many years. My family loves to come here for dinner. Their sashimi are good. My son doesn't eat sashimi, but he loves seafood. They have different types of fishes dish plates that he looks forward to whenever we come over from Livermore.
The staffs are very nice.“

“We just finished a delicious, fresh and cozy dinner at Sushi Time. And I can confidently say, this is the Castro’s best kept gem.

We will absolutely become regulars at Sushi Time. Already can’t wait to come back and be transported to Tokyo.

Ps the mackerel nigiri was phenomenal! Also adored the yellowtail role!“

“Delighted and impressed! Gracious, warm servers who explained everything well and offered great guidance. And the food! Exquisite layers of flavor in the Nigiri - no soy sauce needed! Beautiful and simple presentation of each morsel. We left satisfied and elated.“

“We love going here - it's sort of tucked away giving it a hidden gem feeling. The staff is warm, friendly and attentive. Sashimi is delicious and wonderfully presented. It was pricier than we expected but one wonderful thing they did for us was deep fry some of the decorations on the premium sashimi plate (the shrimp heads and the mackerel bones) - it was delicious and a nice, fun finish to the meal.“

“My girlfriend and I recently tried this sushi spot near us, and we’re honestly so glad we did. It was pretty quiet when we went, but don’t let that fool you—the food and service were both amazing.

We started with the hamachi carpaccio, pork belly skewers, and spicy tuna tacos. Everything was fresh and full of flavor, but the pork belly skewers were especially a standout—so good.

For our rolls, we got two spicy tuna rolls, a spicy salmon roll, and a dragon roll. All of them were delicious, well-made, and super satisfying.

To top it off, the staff surprised us with a complimentary dessert at the end (it looked like a rose and had a green tea/matcha flavor). Such a thoughtful touch and a perfect way to end the meal.

Service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The location is super convenient, and parking was easy, which is always a plus.

Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back regularly. Highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“Cozy little Japanese restaurant with super friendly servers. The owner works at the counter. I come for Ishiyaki Hitsumamushi (Stone Bowl Seafood Rice) which I don’t think is served anywhere else. I also had tuna bone marrow for appetitzer and black sesame cheesecake for dessert. So many other dishes I want to try so will be back.“

“Service was decent, the lady running it seems nice.

Grabbing the food off the boats... It almost seems like they're going too fast. And I feel a little weird about the water potentially splashing on the plates.

It's weird that they have two different plates that are priced around 50 cents apart. Seems like they should just be consolidated into one price, but what do I know

I'd describe the sushi itself as good but not great. The salmon I enjoyed but wasn't peak salmon, the snapper was a bit mid. The crab(?) roll was surprisingly good. I'd say I walked away feeling like it was right down the middle but because I don't want to be too critical of a local restaurant in my neighborhood I'm still gonna give them 4 stars.“

“Absolutely love Tomokazu! Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The sashimi is top quality, and the rolls are always creative and delicious. The beef short rib and shioyaki saba were also amazing, even though I didn’t get a photo! The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and this place never disappoints. One of the best Japanese restaurants in the Bay Area! 🍣✨“

“Best tuna roll ever.. Large side salad enough for 2. Ededname excellent. Large servings of any of the rolls with attractive black slate to k eep the roll cold, smart. Excellent miso soup in good size bowl. Water containers at each table. Take out available and no reservations taken. We went on a weeknight.“

“Came here for lunch and it was emptyy, given the food quality and price, it was unfathomable! My husband and I were both craving tempura soba so we ended up getting that, and the total came up to $28 before tip, that is such value for money, we wil definitely be back to try the sushi! Also, the tempura soba satisfied my cravings and I will definitely come back to order it again too :') ❤“

“I ordered takeout from GrubHub, got the deluxe chirashi bowl and it was amazing. The sashimi was super fresh and the portions were very generous. The pricing is very good as well! The miso soup was so comforting and the fried shrimp heads were still crunchy after delivery.“

“Soooo Good! Favorite Spot! Delish Fish🐠🐟🐠“

“My family and I love Sushirrito, and the creativity they bring in fusing amazing flavors together with sushi rolls the size of burritos 🌯! We recently dined at their newest location in Redwood City. The restaurant is clean, modern, and I loved the decor, esp the fish lanterns hanging from the ceilings. I got the Satori roll, and it’s the best - fish is fresh and it had the right amount of crunch and sauce to balance the tender hamachi. The matchagave latte was very refreshing, and had flavors mixed together that I’d never tasted before. Sumo crunch roll was perfect for the kids, esp. the red tempura flakes!🍣“

“Great walkable neighborhood“

“The bay has no shortage of sushi restaurants, San Mateo least of all. Against this competitive backdrop, The Backhouse still claims a spot at the top. Jui's selection of garnishes and sauces are simply a level above others making this sort of modern style sushi - so delicious and, importantly, unique. And on top of excellent and highly consistent flavor, the business maintains its genuine local charm.

If you're looking at the order form and are concerned about getting your money's worth, just go for it. You won't be disappointed.“

“The best omakase and multi-course dinner I’ve ever had. We came to celebrate our anniversary here and a great time. The atmosphere was perfect and the food/fish were literally hands down the best I’ve ever had. If you want high quality omakase where every bite is the perfect blend and diversity of textures and flavors you must go here.“

“Thank you for the fresh Uni, and very awesome customer service. Highly recommend!!!“
