Great spot for lunch! The bento boxes are a great value with generous portions and a nice variety of items, making them a satisfying meal. The rolls were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Everything tasted high quality, and the presentation was great. It's also an excellent place to go with friends or family since the rolls are perfect for sharing. I'll definitely be back! read more

Little MadFish - Half & Half - Japanese Near Me - Redwood City, California

Father's Day special! First and last time I'm buying from this place. Salmon was dry and tiny as pictured. Tempura smelled like my dirty socks and tasted foul, gyoza was chewy and smelled like California beaches with that rotting sea smell... the salad (which is hard to fu-k up was good and crispy) and miso soup was also good. read more

Rolls are what you expect ! The are fast to get your order done. It's great during happy hour. Sushi has gone up to crazy prices else were and I do appreciate a good happy hour menu read more

Came here with my friends for a catch up. I was pleasantly surprised how their happy hour works. It covers weekend during regular lunch hours too! Their kid menu seems to be legit too. It is a small restaurant but clean. It is amongst a shopping plaza. There was someone outside my car right after I parked. He wanted to talk and kind of freak me out a little. Fortunately he walked away after and I ran into the restaurant. Food was okay and decent. The waitress had a hard time catching what my friend ordered. It was short ordered but we caught it and it was fixed. I want to bring my kids over. Looks like a place that we all can enjoy our food! read more

I love this place. Have ordered (mostly takeout) for years. But tonight was more than disappointing. Sashimi was inedible it was so fishy. This is inconsistent with our typical experience so we'll try it again, but was so bad I was compelled to leave a review. read more

Dropped by during a weekday lunch around noon. Promptly seated and food came quickly. Have promotion happy hour items at discounted price. Prices are very reasonable and portions are fulfilling. Had the bento with 3 various options. Food was okay, standard bento box. Bonus points for vegetarian options at affordable prices. Highly recommend for the surrounding areas for decent pricing. read more

I have been going to Madfish since I was a kid and I have always enjoyed it. It's a small restaurant but there's lots of seating. The service is quick too, I have never waited long to be seated or served. Their sushi rolls are superb, with so many options and happy hour prices. I always get the bento box while my family opts for sushi. I love coming here with my family and enjoying a nice meal together. read more

While I've never dined in at little madfish, this is my friends and I go to sushi to go spot! We have ordered from them numerous times and we have our favorite rolls including the mango lobster roll which is a baked roll with crab meat, lobster, scallop baked with a creamy mango sauce on top, the combination of the sweet and salty is perfect. The last time we ordered we tried the chucky roll which was new, deep fried with jalapeno and crab, a delicious combo of textures! & lastly one of my other favorites is the 49ers roll, I love the addition of the lemon zest on top! Their price point is great & their rolls are delicious which is why we keep coming back! read more

Stumbled upon this location while hubby and I were in Redwood City Barnes and Noble. We were seated right away. Really good service here as we were always attended to. Lots of food. The lion king roll I ordered was really tasty! The hubby ordered a bento box and it was a lot of food. It's a small place but also comfortable enough for a bigger party. Worth a try! read more

After getting our nails done at the neighbouring Perfect 10 Nail Salon in the Sequoia Station (plenty of parking at this shopping center), walked over to Little MadFish for a quick dinner with Mom and Z on Saturday, December 16, 2023. Not sure if this was my first visit here. It's possible that I have eaten here before, but don't remember. We arrived shortly after 4:30 PM without reservations and were seated immediately. For the most part, the restaurant was clean, even the unisex bathroom was well-kept. Mom did have the staff wipe our table clean, though. The rear area, nearby the restroom, appeared to be used as a storage space for boxes of supplies which was a bit of an eye sore. I understand that there is a Little MadFish in Fremont as well. I believe that they are related. Chain restaurants aren't really my favourite eateries, but Little MadFish's food was decent and the prices were very reasonable. Below are the items that we ordered: CALAMARI TEMPURA - Ok. Z thought that it was good. Salmon Teriyaki Box ($25) - No complaints from Mom on her order. Beef Teriyaki Box ($25) - Gyoza sauce was not automatically given, I was told that we need to ask for it which is WEIRD. The teriyaki beef was drowning in the sauce and the meat wasn't the leanest. Crunch California Roll ($11) - Pieces were generous in size. Z enjoyed this. Spider Roll ($14) - A smaller serving than the Crunch California Roll, but still very filling. Z liked this roll as well Hot Green Tea was not free; they were $1 each, but with free refills. Small Hot Sake was only $4 per bottle, an awesome price, we ordered two. ...and some items to go for DJ & V; Avocado Cucumber Roll ($5.75), Asparagus Roll ($5.50), Shitake Mushroom Roll ($5), California Roll with no avocado ($8), and two orders of Gyoza (Pork, $8 each). The to-go gyoza sauce was a bit spicy, according to V. Altogether, the check total was $154.10 which I thought was not bad, especially considering that we had two bottles of sake. Service was friendly. Would I return? If already at the Sequoia Station and in need to grab a quick bite, sure. If not, I would choose to dine somewhere else. read more

Ordered the Sushi & Sashimi : bento box ( $30 + tax) Came in an hour before closing on a Friday night for a late dinner date with my partner & was greeted by the workers asking if we were dining in. We dined in & they brought out complimentary warmed up edamame & food came out in under 10 minutes. Food overall was fresh & presented well. Got to meet the owner Sun, thank you for assisting me in getting my to-go boxed and put away . All was good. Only thing was one worker that was cleaning the rubber mats outside let the debree in as we sat close to the door/window & the smell went near our food . Other than that would come back for the food ! read more

Speechless . The sushi rolls are monsters. You will not believe your eyes. Sushi on steroids. Not really a Japanese zen sushi experience but if you want a huge monster sushi roll and are very hungry and like slightly sweet mayo sauces and heaping garnishes atop your sushi this is the place for you. And you won't go away hungry though may walk away slightly shocked . I could not even finish one sushi roll here. Though not a zen sushi experience , if you're looking for a Poki bowl / sushi roll / sushiritto experience all fused together the sushi here will hit the spot and in a very BIG WAY. To be honest we laughed through most of dinner ... at the sheer size of the rolls! Try it. You will know why the fish have gone mad! read more

We've eaten here many times, but this time we were disappointed. Some of the sushi rolls were falling apart, and the salmon avocado rolls had hardly any salmon at all. A few of the rolls had just avocado and no salmon at all. read more

I usually call in and pick up my order of food for me and my family and it's always as I expected it. It's fresh and delicious. The service is a little different than it used to be so I'm curious if they changed ownership. It seems something like that has gone on. But I definitely like the change. Friendly service! read more

Flavor of the different rolls were good, everything seemed fresh. The only problem was the execution of the rolling of the sushi. The sushi was literally falling apart or completely off shaped. I forgot to take pictures of the 3rd roll that was bad. But look at the pic of the sushi, whoever made it messed up big time. read more

There were too much rice on rolls, rice was little too wet, and the fish was not very fresh. Maybe today was not a good day.

Got the grilled mackerel bento lunch box and it came with a good portion of fish, rice, and salad! The salad dressing is like a miso sesame sauce, and it's SO GOOD!! My coworker ordered the chicken teriyaki entree or something similar (it wasn't a bento box) and it was just a whole big square lunch box completely filled with chicken teriyaki and rice!!! She was only able to eat a quarter of it! If you want a good deal try to find that one read more

Little MadFish - Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Redwood City, California

Tried many sushi/ Bento restaurants mainly for lunch. First time here and let me say it was not delicious. The food is bland. The miso was hardly recognizable being so thin and watered down as miso soup. The worst wakame I haver ever had. The rice was bland, very sticky and starchy. Waitress never came back for my beverage order nor my order for our event at break time today that I got at Panda Express 20 minutes later. Unless you don't care what you eat or you are starving, don't waste your time, go else to get tasty food because all good food has come to it's end apparently at many food establishments. I did not try the rolls so can't speak to that. read more

Ordered for delivery. Sushi was great, the slices of salmon on top were the size of sashimi slices, they are really generous with their fish. The only think I didn't like was the mayo on top of lion king, it seemed like there was way too much of it. The roll was delicious thou. Gyozas we're a 4.8 out of 5, I think most of it had to do with it not being hot. Miso soup was a 10 out of 5 soooo flavorful. I'd definitely order from here again. read more

Suppor local business !!! I've been in this restaurant so many times before pandemic it always has been one of my favorites I'm glad that the survived the pandemic where a lot of small businesses had to close. Also I'm so happy that the quality of the food is the same no excuses or short cuts. I do have to say the prices on their menu increased more than expected but still reasonable. Keep in mind they haven't open full service or inside dining since it's kind of serve yourself kind of thing but the attention is the same as it was long ago warm and welcoming. I had the spicy seafood ramen which was a little salty for my test fir my friend like it so much :/ we also shared the sushi sashimi bento the mango lobster and the poke tuna salad and a nice bottle of sake, all of it was delicious sashimi was fresh and nice quality we also had an edamame on the house with a little sticker that read "Thank you for supporting my small business witch says a lot of the owner or the person running this business and you're more than welcome ! I do recommend this place, go and support all of your local business now more than ever. read more

We usually order sushi from here. They provide great customer service, never had an issue.

We decided to try Little Madfish since our usual spot was closing and we definitely would not be able to make it there in time. Our family was hungry so we got a few things to try. -Charashi Bowl - The quality of fish was just ok. Was not bad but also not the best we have had. -Bento Box Dinner (Beef, Chicken, Katsu) - Standard fair that comes with rice, gyoza, california roll, salad and miso soup. Was good and filling -Veggie Tempura - a bit on the greasy side but was ok Overall our meals were filling but there was something lacking in the quality and seasoning of items that did not make it a perfect 5 stars. Also, the meals are a bit pricey, but a good value considering the portions sizes are generous. Would probably come back again but it would not be our first choice. read more

Stop searching for places to eat and eat here! This was the best Japanese food I've had in the area!
