5 Best Japanese Restaurants near San Carlos

“Los invito a todos a disfrutar de un buenísimo sushi!! 100% recomendable!! sabrosos y accesibles ;)“

“We ordered the nigiri omakase and the omakase box and it was amazing! The fish was so fresh and delicately prepared. We struck a conversation with the chef/owner Jason, who was so kind, informative and fun to talk to. My favorite was the monk liver and my husband’s was the salmon chutoro. Will definetely be coming back.“

“This is definitely a hidden gem in a small strip of San Carlos. My bestie took me here for a birthday dinner, so it was as my first time. The sushi is so fresh and everything we ate tasted delicious, melt in your mouth!!! The staff was fun and had great energy! My only caveat is they were not pacing the dishes and it felt a bit overwhelming. Especially since we were the only ones I. There for the longest time. We loved the attention, but yeah, the attention to timing needed to be present. I would recommend this spot to anyone though. It’s definitely cute for a date night of any kind, but also remember you are in San Carlos and not the city, and this is not in the downtown part.“

“Always great food & service! Clean, friendly & fresh food! Thank you again!🤗♥“

“Found a new favorite sushi spot and I'm already planning my next visit. The ambience hit the perfect balance, clean, comforting, and welcoming without feeling stuffy. The staffs were very nice!

What really stood out was the quality of the fish, thick, generous cuts, not the thin, skimpy slices you sometimes get elsewhere. The rice was perfectly done, and the rolls were satisfyingly filling rather than all rice and no substance.

I tried the spider roll, unagi lover roll (this one was a standout — amazing), Philly roll, and tamago and tobiko nigiri. Every piece delivered. Portions were generous, and the prices were genuinely fair for the area, which made the whole experience even better.

Will absolutely be back. Highly recommend if you're looking for sushi that doesn't cut corners on quality or portion size.“
