We did the wagyu omakase. There was not much explanation as we seated, so we didn't quite know what to expect. The meal is more kaiseki style than let's say Yoroniku which show off different parts of cow. There were no explaination on where the beef was from or which cuts were used. It was a good nonetheless, as they indeed used high quality beef, however it was a bit underwhelm considering the price. Most dishes were pretty simple, and can easily be cooked at home. Food - amuse bouche of fried fish w/ yuzu jelly (4/5). refreshing palate. - chawanmushi w/ caviar (5/5). simple yet elegant. - eggplant (4/5). very tasty, good texture. - gyu-katsu sando (3/5). The tenderlion was too thin to provide any texture. - shabu shabu (4/5). Good showcase of the beef, but very simple. - sukiyaki (2.5/5). Too bland. - beef fried rice (3/5). Good, not too greasy. Wish there is a side pickles. - seared wagyu with uni (4/5). Good, but it tasted exactly what you'd expected. - yakiniku with truffled sliced raw mushroom. 4/5 The beef was savory, but a bit thin. The mushroom was very creative. - yukke. 4/5 - fresh udon. 3/5 A bit soft, but tasted good. - dessert. 3/5 custard + crumble Drink Menu (2/5). They offered wine or sake pairing options of high-end wines and sake. Both options came with two half glasses (80ml) for around $145. I went with sake, which was indeed very good, but it's simply not enough for the whole course, so you likely need to order many more. I just wish they have more budget pairing options with decent serving. I didn't try the wine, but they use Napa cabs, which I suspected they will overpower the food. read more

The restaurant ambience is serene and classy. We had the 17-course dinner and it was scrumptious! We had a great time chit chatting with the master sushi chef throughout the whole time as he carefully prepared every course. Service was also excellent! read more

Ordered the Sake pairing - with only 2 pours for the entire meal which was very disappointing.

There's not enough to say about Hiroshi. I could use all these fancy words like magnificent, exquisite, high-end, delicate, and perfect, but they would not be enough to describe the omakase experience at Hiroshi. The 12 course omakase dining experience is truly specific to the place and time. Simply put, it was very memorable in the outside patio. I consider it a fine dining experience and a memorable escape. The house-made Sake was sweet and had an extremely balanced taste. I did not feel a thing the day after, even though we finished the whole bottle. Everything was paced perfectly, in terms of pouring sake and the food being served. The omakase experience was about 3 hours total. I highly recommend their house sake or a drink to enjoy the serenity in the outdoor patio. This was a time to forget about life. The omakase menu only says 12 courses, but somehow I remember more than 12 items. The wagyu, sashimi, cod, and o-toro were especially memorable, but everything was amazing quality, so I cannot single out a dish that was better than the rest. They even send you home with a special treat, which was icing on the cake the next morning. Again, everything Hiroshi gives becomes a core memory. The ambience and decor was another site to behold (even the bathroom mirror). Not to spoil anything, but there's an iPad that describes all the Japanese decor and story of Hiroshi. Thanks Kevin, chef and all the servers for the memorable experience! I'll be back one day to try the indoor omakase experience. read more

Food was really good, but I have shared my food allergy with the restaurant at the time of the reservation and as we entered the restaurant, but the chef has still included the item I was allergic to on my plate before his was going to serve. I spotted it and reminded him that I had the allergy, going forward he was just taking this item out without substituting with anything else (I have this allergy for a while now and this is the ONLY place that didn't make the substitution). He did start to substitute when I explicitly pointed that it wasn't quite fair. Apparently, he also continued to use the same tools to serve my sushi as I came home and gotten very sick (as I usually do when I am exposed to a given food) and was sick for 5 days due to the food cross-contamination! If you have ANY food allergies - beware! In addition, we brought a bottle of sake that we wanted to pay a corking fee for and this sake was special to us for the occasion we went to the restaurant for. They refused to open our sake saying that their policy doesn't allow for brining your own bottle. Seriously?! We brought a bottle of IWA5 that retails for about $190 - on their menu it was for over $900!..This is very draconian for this caliber of establishment. Ye,s the food was very good, but the overall experience made us decide to never come back. read more

Service was great but very disappointed with the 17 courses omakase for $200+ because of the lack of refinement and balance of favor in the dishes. The dishes (except nigiri) were overall either too sweet or too salty. As for the nigiri, the fish was fresh but they lacked craftsmanship. Overall I Just couldn't really taste the real flavor of the main ingredients of the dishes because they were overpowered by the saltiness or sourness of the seasonings . Soup was lukewarm with barely cooked mushroom. This place is truly overrated. Pls don't waste your money.... read more

Amazing experience. The marinades were aromatic and pleasing to the tongue. Lots of unique fish I haven't had even in Japan. The flavors for many dishes were better than Jiro. Highly recommended! read more

True fine dining experience! The attention to details preparing the meal is amazing. We enjoyed learning about the source of food and why they chose. You need to pay attention to the time of booking the reservation. You also need to order the meal ahead of time. No changes were accepted through the booking app but you can email them to make any change request. read more

Afternoon Omakase? Yes, please! Price: $295 per person (x 2 - $590) + 20% gratuity ($118) + 9.13% tax ($64.64). Tina's Tip: Make a reservation ahead of time on their website to reserve a time slot. I did for the counter; although, system error and I was seated at a table. Overall, it was still a good experience. Order the hot green tea! read more

Food and ambiance always amazing and Jennie is the best! She helped orient us to the menus and our orders. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience! Food and service are top notch and everything in the restaurant is like a piece of art. The front of the restaurant is pretty low key and its easy to completely miss then on first pass. The staff are super nice and chill and were great during the entire ~2 hour experience. Hiroshi offers 2 Omakase options: a 5 course afternoon Omakase at 4pm for $295 and a 12 course Omakase at 6:30pm for $495. The 5 course afternoon Omakase is actually closer to 9-10 course, with the big difference being no katsu sando and missing out on several courses of Wagyu. I wanted to give this place a try without going all in, so I stopped by for the afternoon Omakase which was a pretty good amount of food. I'd say go for the dinner Omakase if you want a heavier meal or want several round of Wagyu-- check their website for their menu to see the difference. Omakase at the bar is a great experience and you can see the chefs prepare the food piece by piece. You also get your food 5-20s faster, and fresh off the blow torch. Fish was super fresh, and rice had a good firmness to it. What stands out in my mind post experience is really the experience of it all. The furniture, decorations, glassware, etc are all amazing pieces of art, and staff top notch, that it's an amazing experience end to end. Highly recommended if you are looking for some top tier dining. Full dinner Omakase is a bit heavier and has several courses of Wagyu. read more

A Terrible Omakase Experience This was probably the worst Omakase experience of my life. The four of us had a reservation at 5:30 PM, but its our fault we arrived 15-20 minutes late. We started eating at 5:50 PM, thinking we could still enjoy a high-quality meal. Unfortunately, it felt more like we were being rushed through a timed event . The overall taste was overly salty, and shockingly, I found some fish bone in one of the sashimi dishes. At first, I thought it was just me had bad luck, but then my friends also found some . What made things even worse was how much the waiter rushed us. At 6:30 PM, the waiter started reminding us that the next seating was at 7:30 PM. By 6:50 PM, while we were still eating dessert, they told us we had to finish by 7:00 PM. I understand they need prepare and clean the table for the next one . but why start pushing guests out a full 30 minutes early? It completely ruined the dining experience. After paying, we stepped outside the restaurant and noticed a beautiful vase. We wanted to take a couple of pictures, but the same waiter was incredibly rude and outright told us to leave. For a restaurant that charges $350 per person, this level of service is unacceptable. The food was not impressive, and finding fish bone in the sashimi was a huge letdown. the service was terrible, and the overall experience was awful. Definitely not worth the price, and I would never recommend it to anyone. read more

Street parking can be tedious to find during dinner so come early to ensure that you have ample time to make it to your reservation. Walking a block or two may be necessary due to there being an absence of a dedicated parking lot. Met up with good friends of mine for what we were hoping would be an unforgettable and traditional edomae dining experience. We were greeted by a rustic-aged metal storefront with modern glass following through to a rectangular waiting area where a slotted wooden decorative barrier and a Japanese curtain is the only thing separating you from the main dining area of the establishment. Past the curtains we were greeted with a beautifully set stone wall with cascading water and natural woods which gleamed quality. The restaurant makes use of glamorous crystal cups which can be seen on the placemats as well as set along the wall in a modern compartmentalized style making up for the lack of paintings and other cultural artifacts one might find when in Japan. This is the place you would invite company to if you are looking for a feast for the eyes or for your ego. The menu was nowhere to be seen or heard of and I was always in a state of questioning what would be next or whether what I had just eaten would be the end of the night. The drink menu is unorganized and in the form of an iPad with an outdated refresh rate which grated my eyes every time I swiped through it so I opted for their "tea." The verbal menu is very generalized and felt as if the server and the chef avoided going in depth with what was actually being presented. Their sencha tea tasted as if it was over-steeped and gave off a sour taste with clumped fragments of leaves at the bottom of the bowl which i choked on later. Their service was impeccable however, drinks were constantly refilled, moist towelettes were supplied more than once and plating and utensils all arrived with elegance. I did not opt for their optional wagyu and caviar options and am very thankful I did not. My friends did and based off of what I saw in combination with their sentiments it was not worth the extra $100+ on top of the otherwise grandiose bill of ~$330. There was one caviar dish (more of a topping for a single wagyu dish) and the 3 wagyu dishes served looked to come out to 1-2oz of actual Miyazaki cow. Their nigiri was disappointing as there were repeats of fish and the slices were near paper thin. That made it hard to truly experience the texture each unique fish brings to the table. The crab stick nigiri fell apart when attempting to handle. Alot of yuzu salt and shisho was used and I ended up remembering that more than the sushi itself as the flavor profile of the fish was overpowered by its toppings. Their dessert was tasty but the consistency was off which made it more pudding-like instead of a custard-like firmness that panna cotta is known for having. The tempo of how fast each dish was served felt rushed and at one point there were 3 chefs at the counter preparing things altogether. My favorite dish there was actually their appetizer! I thoroughly enjoyed the black sesame sauce and their refreshing salad. Make sure to stop by their beautiful restroom before leaving! Overall, i was left feeling unsatisfied and there was no proper sendoff at the end. read more

Second time I have been to Hiroshi, and once again, a great experience. The attention to detail in every dish they serve is absolutely outstanding. The food is fresh and delightful. The wagyu nigiri was extremely tasty. Service was excellent, and I had a great time at this restaurant read more

A bit of a hidden gem, this cozy fine Omakase place is located in Los Altos downtown. Chef Tetsu and chef Masa greeted me and the GM Kevin-san pour me house sake gently. All the fresh fishes are incredible and dishes in the beautiful plates make me feel very special for the day. :) Small bites, each dish I go one by one, chef asked me if I'm getting full, I said 'yes' so he made me rest of nigiris with smaller portioned rice which is very thoughful. It was enjoyable to hear about the seasonal fishes from all different oceans of Japan, Takamori Wagyu nigiri is another experience of Zeitaku (贅沢) fine dining. I have been eating other A5 wagyu dishes but Takamori is not everywhere. They also have very special rare bottles of Sake that is extremely pricey but worth to drop. Great job Chef Tetsu and Chef Masa and team! 近いうちにまた来ます。I will definetely be coming back for more with my best friends. read more

i really really wanted to like this since it's so closeby but it's very overpriced and i simply wouldn't recommend to anyone (especially for valentine's day lmao). the appetizers started off strong but they dropped the ball nigiri and onward. they do use good quality ingredients but 1) the otoro barely had any tuna flavor, it just tasted like fat and faintly of fish 2) ika looked cool but didn't taste that good 3) for what they charge they could've easily added 5 or 6 more nigiri and i still wouldn't be full 4) anago and kohada were a lil fishy 5) the udon at the end didn't pair with the cold sea bream at all. service was attentive and vibe of the restaurant is pleasant but a lil strange (everyone was seated at the sushi bar, the tables behind us were empty and one was piled with stuff, it felt very obviously half-filled). if you're looking for good omakase/kaiseki in the area go to sushi jin or robin or just up to sf. read more

If based on food quality alone, I'd give it 4 or 4.5 stars. The sushi is solid. But at this price point (with the wagyu and caviar supplements, it comes out to $384 before the mandatory 20% service charge), you have to be more than solid. Places like Yoshizumi, Sushi Shin, Iki are all significantly better, better fish quality and selection. The wagyu and caviar supplements are not worth it - tiny slivers and bumps. The service was also mixed - the previous seating was not finished when we arrived so we had to stand around with no attention. During the meal the service was fine, but the dishes were under-explained by the chef. In sum, the experience just cannot justify the price. read more

The ultimate selection for luxury Japanese cuisine. I made a reservation for 2 in December w/ the wagyu steak and this is by far one of the most memorable dinners I've had in 2022. You know how some restaurants have buffer salads & vegetables in between courses? I've never wanted to eat more veggies in a pre-fix menu in my life. Each course was delicious and left my friend and I so appreciative that we could enjoy being guests here! I highly recommend the wagyu selection. They gave very generous portions & it was so fun to cook. The staff was attentive, the chefs were kind & the sake selection was amazing. If you drink, the staff give different style cups per bottle and the designs of these are amazing. They sell these in sets and pairs should you be interested. read more

Despite the craziness in 2020, there is still a surprising (or not, *cough* Silicon Valley *cough*) demand for fine dining. Prior to the pandemic, Hiroshi Los Altos was perhaps one of the fanciest fine dining splurges, even for the Bay Area. When the pandemic hit, I did wonder how this exclusive, single seating per night restaurant would pivot. For the first few months of lockdown, the tech bros probably had withdrawal from a lack of fine dining options in South Bay. Luckily, Chef Hiroshi started offering A5 wagyu sandos and yakiniku beef rolls for takeout. Now they've expanded to sushi bentos, and yes you can even get a 21-piece A5 wagyu nigiri bento that also comes with uni and caviar. Both the fish and wagyu are flown in from Japan, of course. While the takeout options aren't cheap, they are much more affordable than reserving the private tasting menu. The A5 wagyu katsu sando is $165 and a 6-piece wagyu nigiri is $160. I thought the sushi makunouchi bento box was a great value at $150, as it includes both wagyu and uni nigiri in their 12 piece assortment. The larger deluxe sushi bento is a bit more hefty at $325, but it comes with double the nigiri and 8 small maki. And there are a few more splurge worthy options for that extra special weeknight dinner, just because you can. In all seriousness though, both sushi bentos did have the freshest takeout fish I've tried all lockdown. And don't get started on how good the uni and seared wagyu with caviar nigiri was. In a separate meal, I had the A5 wagyu sando but unfortunately waited over an hour to eat it. Because of the very rich marbling, the wagyu should be enjoyed warm and immediately from the kitchen. Otherwise the meat isn't nearly as tender as it could be. I did have the sando fresh from the tasting menu before, and it was incredible there. If you get the wagyu sando takeout, definitely eat it right then! And let this be a reminder to treat yourself, because life is short! read more

The restaurant setup and interior design is one of the best I have ever been to. Lots of designs in the setup and even in all the utensils used. However the food is not up to expectation. Paying $350 per person, I was expecting something more than this. Caviar and wagyu are with high quality but the whole meal is just not satisfying enough. The amount of uni get is one of the smallest portion I have seen in high end omakase. The dessert even uses Godiva chocolate instead of house made one. The sushi is good but the portion size is not enough. read more

It's certainly quite good and the service and decor are noticeably great. But Hiroshi remains priced above some similar experiences and it makes it a bit of a tricky value proposition. But I guess fine dining is inherently not a value proposition. I particularly liked this sort of wagyu nigiri designed to be a tiny fancy bowl of gyudon. It really did a great job of evoke that pretty typical dish and making it feel special. read more

A bit on the expensive side but everything was so good. The servers were also very attentive at every turn. Highly recommend.

*** SIP/COVID Takeout Review *** I was looking for a nicer takeout option to celebrate my husband's birthday and found out that Hiroshi is now offering to-go option. Ordering is easy via Tock, but I wish they provide pictures in Tock so I know what I'm ordering. I had to scour their website and instagram to see what the different options look like. We ordered the Sushi Makunouchi Bento Box and it came beautifully packaged. It came with 10 pcs of sushi, 2 wagyu nigiri and a few other side dishes. My favorites are the wagyu nigiri, uni and crab. The mackerel has a bit of fishy taste and the fatty tuna does not melt in your mouth. I also wish that they provide a printed menu so people know what the different nigiri are. Aside from that, I still enjoy the dinner and I still want to come back to try the wagyu sando and yakiniku bento box next time! read more

So I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a few years now and I haven't been able to find anyone to go with me. Fast forward to present day covid era and I found out they are offering a Wagyu take out sandwich and sushi roll. Now... the price point for this restaurant is very high, but well worth every penny. It's a must have, even if it's once. I ordered the Wagyu sandwich take out option with a bottle of sake to go along with it. I ordered two sandwiches and a bottle of sake which was a little over $300. Everything here is make fresh daily and made hot to order when you pick it up. The Wagyu sandwich is best of eaten immediately while it's hot and the bred is freshly toasted. Taking a bite into the hot Wagyu beef Sandwich was out of this world. The meat incredibly soft like butter and the flavour bursting in your mouth! It's simple, yet you taste everything. The beef, the toasted bread, along with side pickles that come in the box. Also this great sandwich comes with a small tomago sandwich! An added surprise! Which also taste amazing with the egg being light and fluffy yet a nice hint of wasabi! This all goes perfectly paired with sake! Which just completes the experience for me. The take out box....is incredibly pretty! Very Japanese with the zen perfection of the way it is presented to the consumer. The pickles are placed and cut nice and overall is just an amazing presentation. As I waited for my order to be completed, I sat inside the lobby of the restaurant which felt more like a spa it was so relaxing and designed beautiful and so minimalist. The music was calming and I just didn't want to leave! Definitely a place you must try if you're in Silicon Valley! read more

Came here expecting it to be a great experience, though I'm not an omakase expert. I've had similar levels of service in a handful places (SF bay area, Asia). We had Chef Tetsu at Hiroshi (from the Kansai region), who told us about the place of origin for the sashimi and sushi ingredients. Different parts of Japan, mostly. The uni from Hokkaido was memorable. Nagasaki grouper. Akashi flounder. Shizuoka toro. Tokushima sea brim. It's rare to experience and enjoy a different taste of every dish. We did the afternoon Omakase experience, and were the only ones at the sushi counter. Oh that reminds me. In the simple elegance of the entire place, most things including the sushi counter, the paintings on the wall, the utensils etc, all have stories of origin. This makes the place not only a feast for the palate, but an exploration of all other senses as well. Temporarily, we were transported out of the Bay area, and traveled with each bite. read more

The ambience is very nice, the service was excellent, but for the price paid I felt like the meal itself could have been better. There was nothing wrong, but I've had equally good selection of fish for less than half the price I paid. I would not return here but glad I tried it. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful experience dining at Hiroshi for my birthday. The food was incredibly delicious and the ambiance was very romantic. It was truly an amazing omakase experience. Outside of the food and staff being outstanding there were so many other details I loved like their incredible unique glassware collection, learning about their interior through an IPad and most importantly their high end bathroom. My husband kept laughing at me because I went for a second trip just to take look at their mirror again, it was one or the most beautiful things I've seen. I look forward to dining again in the future! read more

Wanted to share my amazing take-out experience at Hiroshi for our four year anniversary! I would've loved to try this place pre-COVID, but definitely will have to once they open for in-door dining. Ordering online is super simple and done through Tock. The one thing that could be improved is the ability to add multiple items to a single order. We ordered two items total - the Deluxe Sushi Bento and the Wagyu Katsu Sandwich, but had to place two separate orders with different pick-up times. Luckily, we were able to add a note asking if we can pick-up both at the same time. Hiroshi is on the main street of downtown Los Altos, however, pick-up is through the back of the building. A little hard to find at night, but there is a sign outside where you need to be to pick up. :) Onto the actual review of the food - Kevin was so sweet LOL, we were running a little late and he called us to make sure we were still coming since the sandwich tastes the best when it's fresh and hot! The food was packaged very nicely and came with a little anniversary card for us. The whole food presentation was ON POINT and comes with everything you need to enjoy your sushi (mini soy sauce bottle, ginger, wasabi, etc.) - perfect for eating to-go anywhere! The bento was absolutely beautiful, so colorful with all the different assortment of fish. It comes with 24 pieces of nigiri and 8 maki rolls. To be honest, I'm not sure what everything exactly was, but there was everything ranging from tuna (both fatty and regular), salmon, squid, mackerel, sea urchin, shrimp, and more! All the fish was fresh and super tasty, we loved trying all of them - kinda like omakase-style at home! My favorite though...had to be the Wagyu Katsu Sandwich, it was SOO delicious. The beef was so flavorful and beautifully marbled with fat that melted in your mouth with every bite. It also comes with an egg sandwich too! My mouth waters every time I think about it LOL. I only wish it was bigger since it was so good, but I guess that's standard for the quality of meat you get. Honestly, Hiroshi knocked my expectations out of the park. I wanted something absolutely special for our anniversary (since we usually spent it travelling pre-COVID) and Hiroshi delivered on EVERYTHING including service, presentation, and food quality. Yes, it's expensive, but definitely 100% worth it if you love Japanese fine dining and you want to enjoy a beautiful night with your special someone + some delicious food. read more

Hiroshi - Katsu sando! - Japanese Near Me - Los Altos, California

Very solid fare. I'm not sure I would recommend this place to others based on the price range, but if you're looking for a wagyu sandwich that hits the spot, this place does it very well. 10/10 presentation for a takeout meal, and I enjoyed eating the veggies before trying my sandwiches. Sandwiches themselves were very good, although personally for me I think I enjoyed the first 2 sandwiches but was kinda tired of the taste by the last 2 sandwiches. Loved the bread/sauce ratio with the meat though. Egg sandwich was a no-thanks for me personally, the wasabi flavor was overwhelming. read more

Good sushi (not outstanding for the price) but drinks are unreasonably overpriced. Having some options that are reasonably priced would have made the experience much better. read more

How the Bay Area deals with the COVID stress: online order-ahead a $165 sandwich from a fine dining establishment. Cynicism aside, I really do commend Hiroshi for their efforts to stay open during COVID. It's a huge investment, and they have catering to their customers by expanding their menu and increasing the availability of limited quantity sushi after selling out. They even have some items that come with a reusable bento box from Japan. Imagine bringing this as a lunch box to work--I'd feel like I were in a Miyazaki film! I can only imagine what I'm missing out on with Hiroshi's exclusive dine-in experience, although the take-out is a convenient and (relatively) more affordable way to sample their delicacies. The take-out experience in itself is quite an interesting one: you enter through the back door, walk down a long narrow dark hallway, tell the gentleman your name, and receive a paper bag with the goods inside. You sure hope that you won't get robbed of the $$$$ food on the way to the car (you won't... it's Los Altos, where crime reports consist of raccoons being mistaken for intruders). (+++) Wagyu Beef Nigiri Bento: comes with a whopping eight pieces of wagyu beef nigiri. Although this turned out a bit smaller than expected, there was no shortage on the wow factor. Each nigiri consisted of a thick cut of seared melt-in-your-mouth wagyu with a buttery texture (sans actual butter of course), draped over a portion of subtly vinegared sushi rice. It came with condiments of yakiniku sauce, soy sauce, and wasabi (the real deal! No funky colored horseradish like all other sushi places). It's a fun way to switch up the flavors with each nirigi. I actually wasn't a big fan of the yakiniku sauce since it masks the wagyu taste, so in my opinion, my preference was two drops of soy sauce for a little umami and moistness with a dollop of wasabi for a kick. The mini yukke was nicely balanced between the robustness of the tartare and the refreshing earthy shiso leaf underneath. The grilled vegetables were on point too, juicy and flavorful, surprisingly without the need for any yakitori smokey overtones. I wish there were more, but I guess aesthetics were at stake. (+++) A5 Wagyu Katsu Sando: the picture-perfect presentation and the enticing description--"6 ounces of Panko Crusted A5 Wagyu Beef Tenderloin Lightly Fried into a Delicious Japanese Sandwich with Tomago Sando and Japanese Pickles"--will get any foodie scrambling. (I did get a lot of "where dis" comments on my Instagram story... wait till they see the pricetag haha) Despite all the laughs I get out of calling this most expensive sando I'll ever eat, I must say it is a masterpiece. The layers are so thoughtfully put together in perfect proportion, with the two pieces of bread together comprising the same thickness as the wagyu in between. It's a very simple yin-yang balance: the semi-solid texture of rare beef vs paper-thin crispy panko, indulgent marbled wagyu flavor vs your nostalgic toast from your childhood. It's more filling than you'd expect from the deliciously fatty wagyu. The first time I had wagyu nigiri from Hiroshi, I felt like the rich, savory aftertaste lingered in my mouth for the entire night. The accompanying tamago sandwich is probably intended to be afterthought, but this was actually my favorite item from Hiroshi. Maybe I'm really just meant for plain egg sandwiches rather than bouge wagyu fare. The composition is like a shape-shifting surprise. I anticipated standard tamago, but it turned out a lot sweeter than expected. Once I got used to the sweetness, the strong taste of wasabi root became apparent and added a unique, memorable flair. As I inhaled my sando, I realized the pillow-soft texture. In a second, it's gone and you're left wondering how did you just eat this egg sandwich that tasted like it came from the heavens. All in all, I enjoyed my experience at Hiroshi. The online ordering system is easy, they are open multiple days a week with lots of options, and service is very friendly. It is quite pricey, but I do think it's worthwhile. (The only downside is that it'll be difficult to go back to regular steak and regular sandwiches for awhile.) read more

4-4.5 stars overall, but rounding up for their sando! I didn't know I needed A5 Wagyu Katsu Sando in my life until now- Thank you, Chef Hiroshi! Skip straight past the sticker shock and place your order soon, since Hiroshi will be closed for the holidays from December 20 - January 4. I placed my order on Friday night for pick up early evening on Saturday. The slightly tricky part about ordering sushi and the wagyu sando was the different pick up times. Pick up times for their sushi were scheduled for the top of the hour, and pick up times for the sando were scheduled for 30 minutes past the hour. I chose a 5pm pick up for my sushi and 5:30pm for my sando, which worked out great since the sando was fresh out of the fryer. I'd highly recommend you eat the sando right away, while the wagyu and bread are still warm and toasty. You have to go through their back entrance for pick ups, and you can park in the back lot also. Look for their standing sign and enter through the black door. I tried: -A5 Wagyu Katsu Sando ($165 + tax, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=YmEx2ZD5gBiGUuh75Upiew&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0RxkKOjcHNK3qfPLFMQF1Q&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=iIh9N-TBUgEg6YiDw_GjYA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): This sando was 6 ounces of panko crusted A5 wagyu beef tenderloin lightly fried into a delicious Japanese sandwich with tomago sando and Japanese pickles. The beef was perfectly fried, with the lightest and airiest layer of panko that gave it a subtle crisp. The bread was sturdy enough to hold up to the beef, and I loved the homemade steak sauce. The assorted pickles were perfect with the sando, since it helped cut through some of the richness as well as add a pop of acid. The tomago sandwich was also good, and the egg omelette was cooked perfectly. -Sushi Makunouchi Bento Box (Nigiri Sushi [x10], Wagyu Beef Nigiri [x2], Mini Yukku Donburi, Kyoto Miso Marinated Butterfish, Vegetable Takiawase, $150 + tax, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=IpQ7L0NSyxbo0sRj10FT7g&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=I4M90gXLH2Yvg24yfswTHQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4fjnWFUF4dJ1iUtyVTTv2Q&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): The presentation and packaging of this bento box was beautiful, but the items inside were hit or miss. I wished they included a menu for the bento box, so you knew exactly what was included. See below for my best guesses and review of the nigiri. The wagyu beef nigiri was a little on the dry side- the beef here wasn't as buttery as their sando. I did like that it was topped with uni and caviar. The butterfish was seasoned well, but a touch overcooked. However, the vegetable takiawase were a little undercooked, and some of the veggies were still very firm. -Yum: Toro, Salmon, and Tuna: Super fresh, buttery, and delicious. Tuna tends to be too lean and bland, but their tuna was actually very flavorful. -Good: Fresh Crab, Eel, Red Snapper, Uni, Tamago: Again, all were very fresh, but not a lot of flavor otherwise. The portion of uni was also quite small. The crab was very sweet though, and the tamago was done well. -Not so great: Squid, Mackerel: The squid was sweet, but I didn't like the texture on this cut. The mackerel was fishy, and not as buttery as other versions I've had for omakases. If you're looking to splurge for a take out dinner, Hiroshi has you covered! Service was very good, and their staff were all very nice and helpful. All were wearing their masks correctly. Parking was easy at the time, and street parking as well as lots are available. read more

lately, i have been in an a5 wagyu cravings. i have heard of this place precovid but never gotten a chance to go. but i was curious to see if they are open and my luck... they are and offering wagyu sando to go!! :) ordering online was easy. they used tock and just order what you want. pick a time and that's it. super easy and super convenient. the box for a5 wagyu katsu sando was soooo cute. but what's inside was of course the most delicious looking sandos! and it came with tomago sando! i am usually not a fan of tomago sandwiches but this was so good. the egg was so light and airy. amazing. def eat the wagyu katsu while it's still warm! the wagyu melted in my mouth and it was just the right amount of panko and even the bread was so good. everything just went well together. i def would order these sandwiches again! i'll def want to try their sushi bento boxes! read more

Closest to Japan's best sushi on the mainland (Hawaii excluded). The glassware and silverware manufactured specially for Hiroshi. Huge cherry blossom artwork in the bathroom. Highlights were wagyu sliders and wagyu steak. Everything prepared fresh in front of you. Price pretty steep, restaurant was originally meant for parties of eight once a day. Pandemic forced them to open up to more patrons. Will they go back to exclusivity once pandemic is over i wonder? read more
