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

This place is amazing. It's pricey but still delicious. Make sure you book the counter! My husband and I opted for the menu sans the A5. The whole experience was great. You get a little basket for your purse that goes under your chair. The restaurant has very limited seating. The bathroom is gorgeous. The mirror with flowers is pretty spectacular and definitely worth a visit to the bathroom. We got to sit in the middle of the counter so we go to see everything as it was happening for everyone. The chef was very skilled and very nice. read more

Hiroshi is a ridiculously expensive, but generally worth it, sushi place in Los Altos. They only do Omakase (that's Japanese for prix fixe). Expect to spend more than two hours for dinner. Pluses: uncrowded, at least on weekdays. Quiet, with pleasant music muting the conversation at other tables. The ambience is simple yet refined with Japanese-styled décor, water running on the surface of the wall behind the chefs. Everything has a story, from the sushi bar surface to the silverware, the table is furnished with an iPad so you can come up to speed on these stories. Food service is split into four parts: appetizers (mostly sushi-and-sashimi-themed), main course (a choice of Wagyu beef or sushi), optional soup, dessert. Hints: - if uncrowded, choose to sit at the bar, not at one of the tables: observing the work of the chefs provides some extra entertainment. - choose sushi over Wagyu beef. There is more variety in the sushi offering. Before the main dish, you will have enjoyed the Wagyu beef sandwich as part of the appetizers group. We liked it more than the main dish. - visit the restroom. The art there is the one to be seen. - opt out of the soup. It is tasty, but there is too much of it. Overall: If you truly want to spend $600+ on the dinner (per person, before drinks - bottles of very decent sake are extra $300-500), then definitely try it. read more

Great experience! Only 8 bar seats and two tables for 4 ppl, one table for 2ppl. Small interior but very modern and fancy like an art gallery. Every piece like the table, cups, etc are so eye candy (Even the restroom has an amazing mirror art). Behind the chef, there is a huge water fountain in the shape of a mountain and the sound gives calm vibes. The food was absolutely delicious, just melted in my mouth. Someone on Yelp said that they ate five guys after this because it wasn't enough for them, but how...? He and I ate something nonstop for three hours. I was so full, and satisfied. read more

We had my birthday dinner here this year. The service was superb, and it feels like you are dining in a royal feast with a dedicated servant just for you. Overall food presentation was excellent. Lots of uni, caviar, and truffle on many courses served. However, the sushi didn't surprise me as much as the A5 Wagyu Beef they served, and these were the best Wagyu beef I've had in the Bay Area (I've had many). I guess because of the meat, so it was the first omakase dinner that I had made me full. So the four-star was solely caused by the fish/sushi didn't surpass the expectation. read more

It was indeed a great experience. The taste was delicate and amazing. Even the everyday vegetables tasted so good. I love every single dish and had extra soup. The environment was unique - you'll hear the sound of the beautiful waterfall on the wall and feel the zen. The wooden table has a history of 800 years, which is cool to learn about. read more

Delicious! Completely worth it. The service is impeccable and the food is authentic. The details are very special here. Down to their sushi bar to their sake cups. read more

Hiroshi - Japanese Near Me - Los Altos, California

Been a little MIA on Yelp, so I'm tryna get the ball rolling again and write some new reviews. My girlfriend took me here last month for my birthday, so while the experience is still pretty fresh on my mind, I'll write a review about it. First off, I'd say Hiroshi seems to be closer to a kaiseki meal instead of an omakase experience. I say this because the chef is mostly in the back preparing the set dishes and you actually rarely get to see them. And without the chef being in front of you, you can't really make adjustments on the spot like how a traditional omakase should be. Secondly, you actually get to choose between having wagyu or nigiris towards the latter part of the meal, so if you choose wagyu, you're pretty much not having any sushi at all. (I chose the wagyu and it was quite heavy towards to end because the portion was pretty big) I know some people when they go to Japanese restaurants with an "omakase experience," they'd expect a lot of sushi, so if you want that, make sure you request the nigiri! As far as the food goes, I didn't find any particular dish to be exceptional (except for the beef tartare which was excellent) especially at their price point. Of course, they have fresh fish and a good amount of wagyu but some execution of the dishes were kinda lacking... all in all, I think if the price was a bit lower, I'd say it's a nice experience, but at the current price level ($500/ppI think there are better options. read more

This is the best sushi in the area. I personally think that it is as good as the best sushi restraint in Japan. The service is also excellent and we have 4 to 5 people serving us. The ambiance is also the best in the area. I highly recommend this place. read more

Can a $495 pre-paid selection fixed menu ever be considered a bargain? In a word, YES, if it's dinner at Hiroshi. My daughter and I celebrated the end of her internship by having dinner here. Every single piece of fish or beef served was prepared with such exacting standards. Every bite was well thought out, a feast for the eyes, and delight for the mouth. By the time we got through the common course (where everyone was served the same thing) to the main dinner course (both my daughter and I ordered the sushi option), we were both already full, but could not pass up a single bite as everything was exquisite. By the time desert came, we had to use our dedicated desert stomachs to hold it, but we enjoyed it all. And then to top it off, you are presented with a box of Japanese Cookies as a parting gift. After completing a fantastic evening with precise service and flawless food, I can simply say yes, $495 per person for this dinner is a bargain. Just remember to bring your appetite, it is worth every bite. read more

The best Japanese restaurant I've seen outside of Japan. Also one of the most expensive restaurants anywhere. A high end experience for those who can afford it. Great quality and very authentic. Large selection of fine sake (of course). read more

Been wanting to try Hiroshi since it opened, but didn't get a chance to before COVID hit. Found out they've been offering takeout bento boxes and immediately ordered. For the price, I was overall disappointed. Wagyu was brownish, a bit over cooked and didn't have much marbling (I ate it immediately in my car after I picked it up, on time, too). To add to it, they gave me someone else's order because they said we ordered the same thing- okay. read more

Hiroshi - Japanese Near Me - Los Altos, California

Absolutely majestic culinary experience. Worth every penny and a memory that will last a lifetime.

Mmm IDK, It was just ok. The gold flakes on the steak got caught in my teeth. I left still hungry and got a burger at five guys on the way home. The burger I actually enjoyed more and it was only $6 not $600. I feel like people just go here to do it for the gram. read more

I think this restaurant has the best interior in the Bay Area and since you have the whole place for you party, you can really enjoy the whole experience. The food was great. The service was impeccable. The only thing that turned me off was the gold flake. Gold flake looks nice but it does not add any flavor to the food. I prefer them to spend the money on real food instead of gold flake. Other info: - The starting price is $395 + tax & tips, per person - Need to make reservation for whole place, minimum for 8 people - secure deposit of $1000 at the time of making the reservation - They sell their wine and sake by the bottle, not by the glass - You have the option of adding extra seafood courses, just let them know when you make the reservation - make sure you check out the bathroom read more

The short version: Phenomenal. Great experience from service to food to decor. You get your own room and enjoy the ride. The food was excellent. All the courses were great even if couple of them were not my style but as a dish they were great. The beef and uni was so delicious. The tartare was one of my favorite. It did help that we were with people who enjoy food as well. Top notch but be prepared with your wallet. read more

can't really afford these prices, so just had a beef roll awhile back, which actually has already gone up in price. good but can be difficult to explain value. so try something now at takeout prices before it's only for a small privileged few for in-person dining prices again. read more

bought the bento back in July when they were selling those for meals. quality of sushi was amazing, the attention to detail and care in the bento box was astounding. i've never seen a bento togo look so nice. The food was 10/10 and highly recommend. Can't wait to one day join their coursed meals! read more

After months eating at home with occasional take-out, we gave Hiroshi a try. FANTASTIC! We had never been able to afford the dine-in experience there, but with their takeout menu we were able to get two bento boxes of the most delicious nigiri, including Wagyu beef that is Hiroshi's specialty, for $300.00. More expensive than an ordinary sushi place, but oh-so-worth-it. I hope they keep doing takeout when they reopen for dine-in, so we can continue to afford the occasional trip to culinary heaven. read more

One of the top three meals I have had. Everything was spectacular: obviously the wagyu was phenomenal, but even the melon they served as a palate cleanser was the best I have ever had. The staff will do absolutely anything to make you happy (including let you set up a karaoke machine, and belt out tunes with your friends). The price tag is steep, but worth it for a special occasion. Hardest part of this dinning experience may be wrangling friends willing to splurge $800-$1,000 per person for this culinary experience. read more

The food here is so delicious. I got the sando, toro box and the wagyu nigiri box. It was my first time having wagyu nigiri and while the experience was nice, I think next time I'd rather get more toro or another sando. I definitely agree with the other reviewers that you must eat the sando while it's hot! Don't wait till you get home unless you live like down the street. The only downside is that the website they use for placing orders makes you order items one by one. There is no option to just place everything in one order. I'm definitely coming back once indoor dining is open again. read more

We had an exceptional meal here tonight, very well worth the wait for the reservation, The steak was phenomenal and the service was completely on par with a 5 star restaurant. My husband and I will certainly back! read more

The "omakase" is a great value for its price. Service and food quality is good. Making appointment is not that hard neither.

So far for us during this Covid-19 pandemic, Hiroshi provided the best quality of food and service. Highly recommend this place as they prepared the food with a lot of attention to detail. We look forward to dining in at this restaurant after Covid is over. read more

Wow what a spectacular meal! The courses are exciting and so tasty! The meal was heavy on beef so be prepared for that (I was expecting more fish) but it was some of the best beef I've ever had. And the service is excellent. It's not a quick meal so plan on 3-4 hours! read more
