The food price was ok the food was pretty good,To be honest the staff were very rude to me and my mom when we tried asking for a fork over all l would give it a 2/5 stars because of the service.

Sushi is frozen, cockroaches everywhere, and they take the left over and put it back in. Don’t eat there!

Fresh and tasty sushi and udon dishes. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is wonderful. If you're in downtown San Mateo come and eat. You can sit outside and people watch.

I do enjoy their Love Boat and Happy Boat meals. Lots of flavors to savor. Their fish is always fresh. This is my local favorite in San Mateo.

Solid 4 stars (which is above average) in my book, but I want there to be more patrons so I'll give them 5.Only a few ppl there on a weekday lunch. Ordered a roll + hand roll. It came with hot tea and edamame on the house. Rice was good - not mushy and flavored well. Roll was large (but still good rice to other ingredient ratio) and their ingredients were fresh.

Nobody was open on the second day of the new year except for NI-MO around 1:30pm/2pm which made a difference in my birthday lunch adventure for my friends special day. We got take out, dragon roll, Agendas tofu, Hokkaido scallops (2 means 4 pieces!), the fatty toro, and another roll I forgot. All were made Togo quick and even came with two delicious savory miso soups. We ate our delicious lunch in the back of my Rav 4 at the beach watching surfers do their thing in a rainy day.

Thanks for making delicious rolls for us. I loved our fatty toro and the scallops. The dragon rolls were done well and we appreciated the tastiness and price of it all. Would come back!

Waited about 20 minutes for the food. Very nice server though. Got the beef negi maki with shumai and tempura combo, tasted good but more like Chinese-Japanese fusion than Chinese. Friend got ahort ribs, and it tasted a bit pre-prepared though the flavor was good. Very pretty amd clean place, clean bathrooms too. Though, don't make special requests, especially on sashimi, or you might find an extra $3 charge on your bill.

My new favorite sushi spot! Love coming here to have lunch with my brother. I usually order dragon or California roll, and my brother usually gets beef teriyaki or beef ribs. Yum yum.

I've never had to send sushi back before. They had "tuna" that was dyed red. The flavor of the sashimi was awful. Still cold from being frozen.They were kind enough to only charge for what we had eaten. I won't be coming back.
