We came here on a whim for lunch after shopping. It's a good location with plenty of parking. The exterior is a casual strip mall but the interior was quite cute and I'd be happy to come here on a date. Very clean interior. It wasn't very busy when we arrived by a couple more patrons trickled in over time we were seated. We ordered a bento box with beef and the nigiri lunch special as well as a Hokkaido milk crepe cake to share. Both lunches came with a miso soup. The beef was very tender and had great flavor. Be warned that it is like the ribs at kbbq. You'll be eating around bones. This may prove a little difficult with chopsticks for some people. I was very happy with my nigiri. The presentation was beautiful. The fish was fresh. Good ratio of fish to rice. The wasabi in the nigiri wasn't overpowering. The day we went the two flavors for the crepe cake were Hokkaido milk or mango. Very pleasant surprise to see they have crepe cake. It wasn't too sweet. The chocolate bits gave to some nice texture. Service was polite and quick. I'd be happy to go back here if I'm in the area and craving sushi. read more

Amazing food, great and attentive staff, and a trendy interior! We tried this place for the first time for a Friday date and night and we loved it. My boyfriend ordered the omakase experience and it came with so much food, and it all tasted fantastic. I would HIGHLY recommend this place for a night out, they had great cocktails as well. read more

Been here twice and I can say this place does not disappoint! Jessica and the whole team were all very welcoming and attentive. The menu selection here is great! They have ramen, maki / hand rolls, sushi rolls, bento sets, donburi bowls. Happy hour Mon-Fri 5pm-6pm, Sat-Sun 4pm-6pm food items less than $10 I've tried a handful of items and I absolutely enjoyed the lion king, red dragon roll, and spider man roll. The omakase is so visually appealing and good for those who enjoy variety of fishes. I recommend the poke chips and scallop carpaccio too! Everything tasted so fresh. Don't forget to make room for dessert and try the sliced Mille crepe cake by Anton Patisserie. My mom got a complimentary dessert (matcha parfait) for her bday. Plenty of parking. Super spacious and beautiful interior. Quick and friendly service. Reasonably priced and delicious food. No complaints here! This is my new favorite sushi spot. read more

We came back here to enjoy a slower Monday at work lunch. The service was slower here too - my husband finished his ramen before I even got my nigiri and appetizer of chips and poke. The taste was fine, not as good as I remember it (but I did not get the ramen). But it has been a while since I've been here. My biggest complaint was my husband and I are showing signs of bad food/mild case of food poisoning, probably from the nigiri. So maybe the "no fish Monday" rule still holds true. Ambiance is casual. Kids will do ok here, and high chairs are provided. read more

What a quality sushi spot in Mountain View! I took my boyfriend and my parents out here one Friday evening since everyone was in the mood for sushi. This place did not disappoint at all! We happened to show up during happy hour, where a number of appetizers were discounted, so we took advantage of that to get Spicy Garlic Edamame for the table. This caught us all off guard because they use chili oil to help flavor and spice up the edamame, but it was an absolute hit! Lots of flavor all around. Not many sushi places tend to offer Salmon Belly as a nigiri order, but Eighty-Eight did! The salmon belly tasted incredibly fresh and fatty, which was an absolute delight. We got 3 rolls to share at the table (Cherry Blossom roll, Ching Ching roll, and Dragon roll) and all of them were filling and delicious. Prices per roll are higher than average compared to other sushi spots (averaging ~$20/roll), but the quality put into the roll can be seen and tasted. They also offer Anton SV crepe cakes for dessert, if you still have room for dessert afterwards. The service was very quick and efficient, and the layout is very clean and modern. Nice place to come by for a solid sushi dinner that's not in Downtown Mountain View. Lots of parking too! read more

Though the outside looks unassuming, this place has some quality dishes! I've come here twice and both times had great food, great service, and little wait. Food wise, I recommend the lion queen roll, which is basically a lion king roll (baked salmon) but spicy salmon instead of regular. They also have a $26 dinner bento with HUGE portions. The ramen is also pretty good but I do wish there was more meat. I'll definitely be back to try their omakase because the presentation looks gooood. Though dishes are a little on the pricey side, they all deliver! There's lots of lot parking and seating is usually plentiful. Highly recommend trying if you want an upscale casual sushi date! read more

Very small portion for a $26 lunch special. Overcooked and burned fish. And the fish contains lots of large bones. You need to reach out to me for a refund. It's very bad experience and won't go there again. read more

Very good quality fish! I was pretty impressed. The prices are high, so this is not your typical hole-in-the-wall. The interior design is very put together and awesome for date night! Lots of aesthetics going on. Here's what I have tried: + Phoenix Roll: Very balanced! Big pieces packed with various fish, carrots, and avocado! They don't skimp out on the ingredients. + Ching Ching Roll: Who named this one? This roll had the perfect combination or crunchy and creamy! The avocado exterior really made the roll so buttery soft, but the fried bits add another layer to contrast. + Nigiri Lunch Combo: Great quality nigiri! 5 pieces for $18? GOOD DEAL. I would definitely recommend this to someone who is trying to venture out of just sushi rolls and want to try more traditional sushi. + Agedashi Tofu: SO GOOD! Crunchy, gooey, and the sauce is addicting. They must use tapioca starch because the texture is to die for! read more

We still lots to try from their menu, so we'll definitely be back! read more

8 tables and 5 seats at the bar. Good service. Very attentive. You know it's a good place if there are a lot of regulars and also Japanese natives! The food was excellent, we came right when it opened so there were tables available but we made a reservation just in case. At the end of our meal there was a party waiting and all tables were occupied. I felt that we ordered a little bit of everything, appetizer, sushi, ramen, and cooked items. It was excellent. I would go back and highly recommend. read more

I came in wanting good sashimi, good service, and a nice (and clean) ambience for a dinner date. We loved everything er ordered and had good service . I liked the inside interior design, it's casual and comfortable and clean, warm lighting that's good for dates but also bright enough to be family friendly, not sure if that made sense. -Omakase Sashimi Experience (chef's choice of 12 pc sashimi, and you get an appetizer with it, and soup and salad). -grilled short ribs -Sashimi combination: 3 tuna, 3 salmon, 3 yellowtail -Daruma sushi roll I highly recommend all of the above to try. I appreciate the aesthetics on the plate. read more

One of the VERY few sushi spots that I will order sushi rolls from! O R D E R E D - Daruma Roll - Carne Asada Roll - Omakase Nigiri - Scallop Carpaccio - Furikake Fries V E R D I C T The scallop carpaccio was ONE of my faves! It's so fresh and the ikura added on top, perfection! Then the rolls were my 2nd favorite because they're 1) unique, 2) not the typical "tuna / salmon rolls", and 3) tasted HELLA good! I am usually a hater when it comes to ordering rolls at a sushi / Japanese restaurant but when I saw what was inside the daruma and care asada, 1) the names of the two rolls already got my attention and intrigued me and 2) they're not your typical "basic" rolls - so i knew i had to try it and WOW! It was so good! Of course, presentation wise, the omakase nigiri takes the prize there. It's literally a staircase to sushi heaven and I loved how they didn't only use fatty / buttery fish. There were more firm texture fishes than the mushy ones and that's why i'm a fan. They even have happy hour on the weekends too - be sure to check them out! read more

Pretty spacious place with a nice interior design. The menu has plenty of options to choose from like sushi rolls, ramen, bento boxes and more! I decided to get the garlic tonkotsu ramen. The food itself came out pretty fast. But did I leave full...? Not really, the portion was fairly little. $17 is pretty much the standard/average price for ramen these days. The ramen noodle itself was good but the flavoring wasn't anything special. read more

The wife and I attended mass at St. Joseph Church in Mountain View on a Saturday night. We were hungry afterwards and perused some restaurants in Mountain View, and Eighty Eight Sushi and Ramen was on her list! We wanted to put ourselves on the Yelp Waitlist as the wait was up to 100 minutes, but was not allowing us to do so on the app. We took a chance and decided to go there anyway and see how long the wait would be. Upon walking inside, they have a seating area for those waiting for a table, and we were able to put ourselves on the Yelp Waitlist on the standing tablet between the seating area and the front desk. To our surprise, while there were a few parties ahead of us, the wait was about 30 minutes! The wait seemed shorter while we were chatting, and was seated in the back corner furthest away from the door. We were seated at a four top, while there was only two of us, but the extra table space was nice. The restaurant looked renovated and was super clean. We ordered these delicious items: -Sushi Bake -Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen -Eighty-Eight Roll -Tekka Maki -Sake Maki The Sushi Bake was pretty solid with the baked layer of fish on top of rice, and came with roasted seaweed snack. Our waiter asked if we were going to share the Garlic Tonkatsu Ramen - which we were - and gave us extra bowls and utensils. The broth was rich and savory, and the seared edges of the tonkatsu was a nice touch with the medium soft ramen noodles. The Tekka Maki and Sake Maki were pretty standard with six pieces each, and is always on my list to order when going to any sushi spot. The last item to get to us was the Eighty-Eight roll, and it was worth the "wait". Wait is in quotes because while we had other food to munch on and occupy our attention, our waiter apologized for how long it was taking, and also gave us some edamame for our troubles. They definitely did not have to do this! We had more than enough food! We had such a great experience, and is a fantastic place for date night or hanging with friends! We will be definitely going back! read more

Garlic Tonkatsu Ramen and Spicy curry flavored Ramen are two of my absolute favorite things at this place. The broth is very garlicky and full of flavor - just the way I like it! Noodles is soft and pairs well with broth. You can also replace the pork with chicken. Oh and I forgot about the Chicken Karrage - crispy, crunchy and super yummy with the Mayo style dip. Ambience is very modern with bamboo style decor. Service is fast and effective! Great lunch place especially for office and team lunches! Must visit! read more

Really great spot of you're looking for yummy sushi and omakase at a fairly reasonable price! This was one of the only omakase places The staff were all super nice and welcoming from when we entered the restaurant and all throughout our meal. They were all very attentive and in general had a great attitude. For appetizers, we ordered the karaage and the blistered shishito peppers. Both were very good! The karaage was crispy and the chicken was moist on the inside. The blistered shishito peppers had a great flavor and were nicely charred. We ordered 4 sets of the omakase nigiri experience, but they didn't have enough chawanmushi which was supposed to come with the order, so they had us choose two other appetizers as a replacement. We ended up getting the chicken gyoza and the garlic edamame. The garlic edamame was also so good! Each edamame was nicely coated in the sauce they had and had a strong garlic flavor, I'm really glad we got to try it! The omakase takes a little while to come out, but it was worth the wait! You also get salad and miso soup so there's plenty to eat while you're waiting. The presentation was very pretty in a staircase platter, and each of the pieces were so delicious! I thought the variety was very good! And even though there were some fish whose names I didn't know (the server told us, I just forgot), they were all so good and I was very satisfied. They also have different dessert options and serve Anton's Patisserie mille crepe cakes along with other desserts. There's a large and spacious parking lot so it's easy to find parking, and the restaurant is very spacious and has a casual atmosphere. So it's a great place for a nice relaxing dinner with great food! read more

11/12/2023 88 Sushi and Ramen 530 Showers Dr Ste 4 Mountain View, CA 94040 We went there for dinner on a Sunday evening. This location has a little smaller footprint than the old place down the street. It was full and the couple after us had to wait for a table, although there were a few stools open at the small sushi bar. We ordered the Tempura mix, Spiderman Roll and Rainbow Roll. The tempura was lightly battered, crisp and hot. Both rolls were good and nothing special. I've had the Bento Boxes before at the old place and those were solid. Service was fast and good. For some reason Wifey likes this place but it's just okay with me. It's repeatable. read more

Obsessed with this place! I come here every 3 weeks or so and everytime is 10/10! I love the dynamite roll, salmon teriyaki and tonkatsu ramen. They have happy hour 4-6pm and have good pricing on gyoza and other items. I like my chicken gyoza pan fried and they do that for me. It's so good! The salmon is so flavorful and cooked perfectly. High quality salmon, not all flaky and weird. The service is great too! The owner is a wonderful lady who always remembers my friend and I. She owns the place with her 2 brothers. Love this place read more

Vegan Miso Ramen was watery and flat tasted - corn wasnt fresh (probably fresh out of a can). This compared to other ramen greats charging $20 for a ramen is not good value. read more

This is a classic and neat establishment for some delicious Japanese food. They have a huge selection of sushi rolls, nigiri, sashimi, bento, and ramen dishes-- you'll definitely find something tasty for your meal. I definitely want to come back and try more dishes! Note: they don't mention it when they ask you, but the "hot tea" option (as opposed to water) is an extra $2. I would've appreciated a notice when I ordered as opposed to finding out by looking at the bill. FOOD [4/5] ---------------- Tonkotsu Ramen [4/5] **** A unique take on ramen. The tonkotsu broth wasn't as creamy or flavorful as I typically have had at other restaurants. Their signature chili oil (+$1) tasted very unique! It was a pleasant surprise. The portion size is pretty good and it comes with the typical ingredients (wood ear mushroom, bean sprouts, green onion, noodles, and pork slices). Ching Ching Roll [5/5] ***** What a delicious roll! Well-priced, good portion size, fresh ingredients, and is topped with the most DELICIOUS tempura flakes I've ever had. I could not stop eating them!! The spicy mayo and fish go hand in hand; this is a classic combination. Dragon Balls [4/5] **** I think I would've liked this a lot more if I had realized earlier that is has the exact same ingredients as my roll (avocado, tuna, rice, etc.), so it kind of felt redundant. It is a really good appetizer! SERVICE [5/5] ------------------- Service was great! Friendly, attentive, and professional. read more

Seated right away on a Saturday evening for a party of 3. We shared the rock n' roll maki roll, daruma roll, caterpillar roll, and ching ching roll. The main reason for the the 3 star rating is the wait time. It took 50 minutes for our food to arrive (I saw other reviews also noting the long wait). Usually, I'm fine waiting for food but 50 minutes was a bit out of hand. The waiters kept apologizing to us and explaining that they were super busy so there was a delay on our rolls. They ended up bringing the wrong orders to our table after apologizing a handful of times for the long wait. It was almost at the 1 hour mark when our rolls finally came. Sushi was pretty good - it's on the pricey side but I think it makes sense for the portion sizes, with the premium rolls coming in at 10 pieces each. Plus, sushi rolls nowadays are $15+ anyway I feel like. My favorite was probably the ching ching roll. At least the sushi was decent, especially with the long wait. Probably would not return unless I was getting takeout and this was the only option. read more

If you want to find a solid sushi restaurant this place doesn't disappoint! The inside is fairly small so we did have to wait a couple minutes to get seated on a Monday night. The service was decent nothing horrible and nothing special. Usually rolls all taste very similar to me but the back breaker roll was delicious it was a solid 5/5. The chili oil crunch on top of the roll gave it such a nice fragrant and spicy flavor that you didn't even need to dip it in soy sauce. I would 100% come back for that roll. The crispy cobra roll was alright like a 3/5 because I personally don't love fried and warm rolls. The poke chips were a 4/5. The fish didn't have too much flavor but it tasted super fresh. The chips were super airy and crispy and elevated the dish. I would come here again and try out more of their dishes in the future! I definitely recommend trying the back breaker roll!! read more

We went here for lunch and tried it for the first time, had the beef teriyaki lunch special Bento box, it was good with the soup that came with. It was Luke warm so I couldn't eat it.. I would go back again, but I certainly wouldn't want the server that help us, he was not friendly, He was inpatient, and frankly, I found him a little rude to us. When I asked him for a fork, he rudely looked at me and said" Is there anything else you want?" As if I was bothering him. He never came to us and asked if we wanted more water or more tea and we had to flag him for the bill. If he doesn't like his job, perhaps he can find another one. read more

Arrived on a Saturday night near closing time and got seated within 10-15 minutes. Service here is a bit slow, not sure if it's due to it being sort of new still or short staffed. Aside from that, servers are pretty nice. My husband and I ordered the poke nachos to share, also got an order of their Hokkaido scallop nigiri that isn't pictured. I believe it's on their special menu board that's located in the middle of the restaurant on the wall. I forgot to look at the price of the nigiri on my recipe but it is only 1 piece per order. I wish it was listed on the board. My husband ordered the omakase sashimi experience and I got the nigiri combo. It is a bit pricy imo but the fishes did taste fresh. For the poke nacho, you get pretty big chunks of assorted fish and it's marinated well. The wontons chips I wish had a bit more flavor to it, it looks like they season it with this Japanese seasoning but it doesn't stick onto the chips itself. Overall, I would give food a 4 but service was pretty slow, there were open tables when we first walked in but it still took about 10-15 minutes to just get seated. It also took about another 10-15 minutes just to order. read more

The quality at Eighty-Eight Sushi is great, though I'm still shocked by the price points all around. Looking at the menu, a little over half of the rice bowls are $30+ and the bento boxes are also near the $30 price point. I ordered a sake maki and teka maki and both were fresh and nicely rolled. Service was good and the restaurant was clean and brightly lit. The prices offered up would be more justifiable in my eyes if this restaurant was dressed up as an upscale experience with elegant ambiance or if it were in the middle of a busy downtown/working hub. For a local, suburban family restaurant though, I just can't get past the higher prices compared to my other local favorites! read more

Amazing new sushi spot I tried with my friends! We really enjoyed the happy hour on a Friday evening. We tried a few delicious appetizers (chicken gyoza, karaage) and they have the best deals on drinks (2$ for a carafe of hot sake!). We also tried a few rolls off their main menu and they tasted amazing (spicy tuna, crispy cobra, ching ching roll). The only item I wasn't crazy about was the jalapeño poppers. Service was very fast and we got seated right away since we had a reservation. Easy to find parking. Will be back to try the omakase next time! read more

The had reservation for 5 people at 6pm on a Saturday. The restaurant want packed but busy. Nevertheless I would reserve if you won't want to wait. We were greeted quickly and got the table in the middle of the room. The restaurant felt spacious and clean. We ordered bento boxes, ramen and sushi. All of the bentos boxes were good, which was the beef teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, and mixed tempura. The Portions were perfect and everything was fresh and great flavor. The miso was typical but the salad was as better than average. The ramens was just average... Nothing really to rave about. sushi was just ok as well. The bento boxes and ambiance bumps their rating up to a 4 star. If I had to return, it would be for their Bentos. read more
