I hate the idea of a stupid ass iPhone app taking a cut from me and a cut from the business I want to support. I do what I've always done. I call Fuji Sukiyaki and I'm always greeted by a pleasant employee who takes my order. When I get there I chill and have a tea and read. I've never waited more than ten minutes and my food is always perfect. It's faster than Derp Dash and there are fewer fudge factors. The owner is always pleasant and the rolls are always good. Every thing we've ever ordered has been as described in the menu and has been tasty. Love this place !!

The tables and chairs were pretty narrow, so it wasn't the most comfortable dining experience. We ordered the Santa Barbara uni, baby lobster, ama ebi, blue shrimp, ikura, Dragon Roll, a combo plate with chicken teriyaki and California roll, and fried oysters. Overall, everything was decent, but nothing really stood out. The seafood didn't have any fishy or unpleasant taste, but I also wouldn't describe it as especially fresh or memorable. The customer service was friendly throughout our meal.

We honestly just went here by chance but ended up enjoying it more than we thought. What we ordered: Cocktails: We tried Nori Noir and Cloud 9. Cloud 9 was especially memorable and is my favorite, served with a little bubble on top that looked like a cloud. Both cocktails tasted as good as how they looked. Tokie's Special Roll: a tempura shrimp roll topped with tuna and tobiko, which had a nice combination of texture. Their house sauce was a surprise Bill's Special: made with fresh salmon, cucumber, avocado, and tobiko. Very light and fresh. Hand rolls: very well made, we ordered soft shell crab and spicy hamachi. I honestly prefer soft shell crab more, as it's very creamy and crunchy - also one of their popular dishes. Glazed chicken wings: another popular, very flavorful and worth the hype The restaurant wasn't crowded when we came, service was quick, I will recommend it to my friends

No matter what you order, you really can't go wrong--everything on the menu is consistently amazing. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, which makes every visit feel like you're coming back home. Diane and Victor are incredible hosts and truly make the experience special. I've known them for a long time, and Victor never fails to greet me with a shot of sake--something I always look forward to every time I walk in. Their rolls are absolutely to die for, but as someone who appreciates traditional Japanese flavors, I always find myself going back to the sashimi. It's fresh, clean, and really lets the natural flavors shine. If you're looking for great food, great vibes, and even better people, this place is it.

Regardless, this was a great omakase experience. Definitely no frills. Each piece was so delicious and intentional. Absolutely loved the different textures presented throughout all the dishes. Hospitality was also so sweet, had great explanations for all of the sake tastings. There was appx. 8 seatings. Probably one of my favorites in the bay.

Every course is well thought out and delicately prepared. Top quality on freshness and the flavors chef kiss. Chef Yoshizumi's calm demeanor transports you back to Japan. With quite a bit of omakase experience around the world, I can say that Sushi Yoshizumi's is truly a one of a kind experience with his attention to detail, the obvious expert cuts of top tier fresh fish, the private limited seating of the restaurant, and the front row viewing. If none or some of these things don't matter to you then maybe the price point may not be worth it. But it's definitely worth trying at least once if you love sashimi! As others have said before, booking reservations can be tricky and must be done a month in advance. Check website for specifics!

AYCE sushi in Downtown San Mateo! Came to Ultra Sushi on a Saturday evening and it was overall a…read moredecent experience. Though on the pricier side ($45.99 per person w/o tax + tip), the quality of fish is better than most AYCE sushi spots that I've visited in the Bay Area. My favorite things to order were their Sake (Salmon) Belly Nigiri, Fish Crush (fish on fried shiso topped with salmon), and Robata (skewers), but you can't go wrong with any of the sashimi or roll options! Service was a bit lacking but we did go on a busy Saturday evening. We had to call a waiter or waitress to give us the tablet to order each round, and we ended up making it to 5 rounds within the 90 minutes they give for the AYCE. They also have a rule for ordering where each person can only order one starred item per round - which I found a little strange at first. I did appreciate how the AYCE came with hot sake though! We didn't have a reservation and almost had to wait an hour, but a spot was open where we squished our party of 5 to a 4 person booth (I'd recommend making a resy). The overall decor of the place is nice, while the ambiance was pretty busy but relaxed. It's in a prime location on San Mateo downtown which was also a plus. I think I would definitely come back another time if I'm looking for an AYCE sushi place!

I was not going to make this review but it has to be done…read more It was my first time here with my kids, big sushi fan. We decided to come here for dinner with my brother and best friend, who was just here for lunch a week before. Their experience was good because the pricing for lunch is $9 less for the same exact menu. They had the full menu, which included the UNI, SCALLOP and that's all we cared for to be honest. We got there during dinner hours and were seated right away, party of 6. The place was nice and modern inside and staff was friendly. System: The way it works is that 2 non-star item and 1 star item per person per round. No problem, or should I say there is a problem. They DID NOT have UNI and SCALLOP available to order. So I'd ask about the ame-ebi and there is an additional charge. Now, these are like the main star items and they're out! So now we are just having oysters and so call Wagyu nigiri. Oysters were not the freshest and the rice fish/beef ratio on the nigiri was OMG, SMH. Well, at least it comes with free soft drinks and sake. I would not recommend coming, especially for dinner at $60 per person after tips and tax. If you are going to come, come for lunch and call first see what they Don't have. Now, their sashimi is pretty fresh but that's about it.

It's a little hole-in-the-wall spot, so it can be easy to miss, but they're serving fresh, high-quality fish. It's pretty small inside, but we were able to get seated right away. People started trickling in shortly after, though, so I can definitely see this place getting busy, especially during prime time. FOOD Salmon Sampler - 5/5 Very fresh! O-Toro - 5/5 Fresh and good! Japanese Uni Nigiri - 5/5 This was really good and creamy. Noma Roll - 3/5 This was okay. There were too many tempura flakes, which overpowered the entire roll. Dragon Roll - 5/5 Lion King Roll - 4/5 Karaage - 5/5 The kids really enjoyed this. Overall, we had a great experience for our first visit. Next time, I'd like to try more of their specialty rolls and some of their other special items as well.

The quality and variety of the fish is really good for the price, and this is a place I would be delighted to explore more of when I am in the bay. Highly recommend. Sashimi Omakase - Glistening set of thicc cut sashimi featuring the best cuts of classic beloved fish. I was very thrilled to receive both the belly of the salmon and yellowtail, which were glistening with the skin, paired with impressive knife work and delicate marbling. The pickled wasabi helped significantly to give it that uplifting kick for the white fish from sea bream to amberjack to snapper. Fat Boi Roll - Indulgent roll that starts with a delicious fried california roll to form the base, topped by an indulgent mix of sashimi, crab salad, and classic sushi sauces. I love that this roll is representative of a volcano, but nevertheless still tastes harmonious. Bluefin Lover Roll - Luxury coded roll that serves akami two ways, and is flavored with black truffle, pickled wasabi, and even more sauces to really give the roll the flavor it needs. I love the modern take on this roll, and its generosity in size. Food: +1 Presentation: +1 Price: E Atmosphere: E Service: +1 Menu: +2 Insta/Yelp/Beli: @amei_eats Insta/TikTok: @ameizing.race

Good for lunch or light dinner given the simplicity of the menu items - predominantly handrolls. Sushi tacos were tasty - recommended. Chopped fish mixed with complementary mix of sauces, green onion, and mild jalapeño served on a well-battered nori chip. Truffle hamachi carried good balance of flavor. Overall, the handrolls were enjoyable and served one at a time so the nori is still crunchy. On one hand they were simple - protein, rice and maybe one more ingredient in the handroll. I'd be interested to have curated imaginative rolls, but I can appreciate keeping it simple as long as good ingredients. Dined on Tuesday for dinner and no problem getting seated. Best seats are at the bar for best enjoyment of the handrolls, though there are a few tables for lower seating. The stools are backless, so not conducive to a long meal at the bar. This may be considered a relatively pricey meal, but quality sushi should not be a cheap meal. From what I could taste, their fish was well prepared.

Besides the fried rice, the tuna and salmon sashimi are large, fresh, and high quality. Many times when I eat sashimi that is not very clean, it upsets my stomach and makes me want to use the restroom. However, the food here is both clean and fresh, and I had absolutely no discomfort after the meal. I also ordered chawanmushi and stir fried udon, both of which were very well executed. I would give full marks to this restaurant for both its sashimi dishes and main courses. The service is good, the environment is clean, and the dishes are priced normally, perhaps slightly on the higher side, but the value for money is reasonable. The only downside is that parking around this area is quite difficult. Overall, however, I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys omakase and appreciates high quality Japanese cuisine. 酥脆的魚皮加上鰻魚的香味，交織成一盤非常好吃的炒飯。我沒有想到在這麼偏離美食街中心的位置還有這一家好吃的日本料理。除了炒飯之外，鮪魚和鮭魚生魚片大片又新鮮，很多時候我吃不乾淨的生魚片料理會想上廁所，這家的食物又乾淨又新鮮，我在餐後完全沒有不良的反應。我也點了蒸蛋和炒烏龍麵，也是表現的非常不錯，我對這家餐廳的生魚片料理和主食給予滿分評價，良好的服務，乾淨的環境，正常且略為高價的料理，但是性價比合理。美中不足的地方是這附近停車非常困難，不過總體來說，推薦給喜歡吃Omakase的各位老饕。

I love the innovation and understand where some of the flavors are coming from, but I think a bit of finetuning would help the dish land better for me. Peach Shirome - The white cream adds a jarring saline forward combination to the sweetness of the peach and the leanness of the white fish. I think this dish could work if it focused on a more succinct concept. Chu Toro / Otoro - The fattinest of the bluefin really comes through in the cut, but it also tastes like the fish has been sitting there a while which starts to add a slightly unpleasant fishiness. Tuna Salmon Tower - Classic notion of Japanese style tartare tower that tastes very pleasant and smooth with richness coming from the fish and avocado. The fish needs to be diced significantly more so it can eat like a tartare though. Dash Taco - Intriguing bite that recreates the flavor of a taco instead with a more pleasant crispy seaweed shell thats more delicate all around from the tender salmon to avocado to the topped salsa.
