If you're craving for sushi in Millbrae, this is the local spot to go. I was visiting a friend in SF area and was craving Japanese food. The restaurant have very nice decor and the waitress is very accommodating. We've ordered a nigiri platter and and various sushi to go so we can enjoy it at the local park. The fish selection here are fresh and their pricing is very reasonable. I recommend to give it a try. read more

Stopped in for the first time today since I was furniture shopping next door and had worked up an appetite. I couldn't narrow down what I wanted so I ordered a couple rolls. If you're keto or low carb (or just want a lite roll) the mango one wrapped with cucumber is soooooo good! Service was quick and friendly, the food was great and reasonably priced. I'll definitely be back. read more

We came on a Saturday dinner and there was already a lot of customers for 6p. The service was good! We ordered blue fin sashimi, California roll, shrimp tempura roll, topiko nigiri, mother & son roll, beef tataki, spicy tuna roll. The beef tataki was so good it was mostly gone before I could take the photo. California roll consist of snow crab and imitation was good, usually other sushi places use imitation only. Spicy tuna roll was not spicy enough. Blue fin was very smooth. Mother and son roll was very large, you need 2-3 bites for each piece. Shrimp tempura was fair. I will be back. read more

While Naked Fish may not have the most amazing food, it hits the spot if you have a craving. I stopped by today because of an udon craving. I got a chicken udon and was pleasantly surprised by how tender the chicken is! In addition, there was a good amount of spinach and seaweed! It was a nice and simple udon to satisfy my craving. I also shared the nigiri with my partner. The highlight was definitely the salmon - fresh and fatty!! The rest of the nigiri was standard. It wasn't bad nigiri, but just didn't taste as fresh! As for the service, I think the servers did the best that they could given the layout of the restaurant and we sat on the corner. They may benefit from extra staff and a person at the front to seat people! Overall, it was a solid, average location for a quick fix of Japanese food! read more

I lived in San Francisco for many years, and was happy to travel back to see friends in-between waves of the COVID19 variant surges. (Man, I hope that's not going to be our method for travel for too much longer!) Anyway, I spent my first night at a cute-as-a-button AirBnB in Millbrae, to catch up on jet-lag sleep before heading in to the city for the rest of my visit, and walked to downtown Millbrae for dinner. How lucky that I found Naked Fish -- can't get good sushi where I live now ... and Naked Fish Millbrae was GREAT! No over-the-top crazy rolls and prices ... simple & straight-forward, delicious, beautifully presented sushi and very warm, inviting service. Fast, efficient, COVID-protocoled of spaced-out tables, masked servers. So wonderful, so delicious, and every time I'm back in the area, I'll be in for sushi! read more

Been there over the years for their bento meals and never it disappoints, pretty consistent quality.

I love coming here when I'm craving a simple sushi dinner. There is usually never a wait so we are always immediately seated. Their service is a bit slow, mainly because there are only two servers working (at least the times that I have come in). The quality of the sushi isn't the best but I still enjoy their food every time I come. They have a great happy hour with sake/beer and select food items. I will always come back here since it is so close to where I live. Pricing is absolutely reasonable too! read more

Good food...its consistant...!!! Lately they been double frying the tempura...thats why we liked them they would lightly deep fry the tempura..hmmm Trying to keep going...but a few more this we just wont order it any more. The fish is fresh and very good! read more

The last few visits here made me change my review yet again. Happy hour is from 4:30-6:00. 10% of rolls, 5.99 appetizers, and hand rolls are $3.50, etc. Stop by and give it a try. It's an early dinner for us when we can make it. read more

Pleasantly surprised! I wish they were open for dine- in. I tried this place for the first time for pickup and ordered the 49 and rainbow roll and it was good. Cant wait to try other rolls read more

I work in Millbrae and spend about 75% of my time in town, this place has a tremendous deal on the lunchtime Bento Box and its my go-to. Its between $15-$18 for a YUGE lunch. Although they open at 1130am its easiest to get someone to answer the phone for a takeout order closer to noon. Thats my only hangup with this place, I love it so much, but it can be a little hard to place an order sometimes right at opening. Thanks for being the best in town! read more

I was super excited to see ankimo nigiri for $1.50 a piece. But sadly they no longer serve that at a happy hour price. Knew it was too good to be true! Salmon Tartare (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/WQDObc8YJbye43QoKS1jTg?select=hWZlFFWbe0_Ppr22zgCnZQ): $4.95. I missed the tofu part on the menu and wondered what the heck that white stuff was. Overall, did not look appetizing. And true to its appearance, it did not taste very good either. The tartare was heavily drenched in sauce. The avocado was in miniscule pieces. The tofu proved to be useful in the dish. It helped offset the overly salty tartare...kinda. Fried Oysters (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/WQDObc8YJbye43QoKS1jTg?select=hllfO6hlsJG6w1HgF59LzQ): $4.95. The oysters were nicely fried. Enjoyed the light panko batter. Did not like the heavy katsu sauce though. Handrolls (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/WQDObc8YJbye43QoKS1jTg?select=bX8prWW6-zHD-fin411Xpw): $2.50 each. The handrolls were advertised as $2 on their glass windows. 25% increase!! LOL. Still, great deal for handrolls. Especially since they were pretty good. Our favorite. Tempura (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/WQDObc8YJbye43QoKS1jTg?select=ZyAPD3XLMGipnP4Pg8nNEw): $4.95. Another beautifully battered and fried dish. Yum! Couple rounds of sake and beer. More handrolls and maki. Less than $10 per person. The quality is not bad, but definitely one super affordable happy hour spot! =D read more

Food was good- the service was okay. Make sure you ask for the happy hour menu - we went there on a Saturday night - we were handed menu by Sharon the waitress- 5 minutes later another couple came in and she happily provided them a happy hour menu. I'd like to think she simply forgot but I couldn't help wonder if she offer the happy menu only to Asian couples .. since the couple next to us were Asian. I hope I'm wrong but I found it convenient how she simply didn't mention the happy hour menu to us a non Asian couple. If she is selectively choosing who she offers a happy hour menu to then she needs to be a better person and treat everyone the same. read more

"People go for the food, but come back for the service". Or more pointedly, "don't come back because of the service". Dropped in with the fam for a quick bite since we were in the area (ignore the two check ins...intended to eat here a while ago, checked in, but ultimately ate somewhere else), and things started out smoothly enough. We walked in about 15-20 mins before they were to close, but our server encouraged us to take our time since only the kitchen was shutting down - not the restaurant. Awesome. While I normally would have ordered sushi/rolls to sample their quality of food, I simply couldn't resist their lunch special - a 3-item bento box for $8! Crazy. Out of the typical array of choices (beef/chicken/salmon teriyaki, California rolls, gyoza, tonkatsu, etc.), I had the Saba Shoiyaki, Chicken Katsu, and the Mixed Tempura. Of the bunch, the Saba Shioyaki was easily the best. The siza was modest, but the flavor was pretty decent. The Mixed Tempura was rather average overall, and the Chicken Katsu tasted more like batter than chicken (as well as overcooked...probably because it was sliced so thin). I've certainly had better, but I can't complain too much based on the price either. As for the service...I don't even know why our server seated us since his "encouragement" to take our time wasn't genuine. Not only did he give us our bill right after our food had arrived, but he repeatedly made a point of stopping to check if it was ready (which it wasn't, since we were still eating). As soon as we threw in a credit card, he was right there to snatch it up...and came back again and again to see if the slip had been signed (at one point, he even took the book away...only to come back and tell us we had to "sign it"). Once we got up to leave, he was right there to lock the door behind us. Now, I understand we were there after their posted hours, but it's not like we were taking our sweet time (we took about an hour), and he had said it was fine. If it was going to be such a problem, he should have just told us they were closing when we first asked about a table. We wouldn't have had minded going somewhere else, and it certainly would have saved everyone the trouble. Sorry Naked Fish. As cheap as your lunch special may be, the price and your two star food isn't worth coming back for. Ever. read more

My go-to place for pretty good sushi in Millbrae. Sometimes there's a big delay in sushi orders because usually there's only 1 sushi man at the bar. But as an Americanized Japanese restaurant, all their rolls taste pretty good. Nothing too dramatic, all surprisingly tasty compared to the price. I mean, see the pictures yourself, they're all tasty looking and it IS. Good job, Naked Fish! read more

Inexpensive sushi is never as good as expensive sushi. It's just one of those things that you kinda get what you pay for. So I always grade smaller, strip-mall-type sushi places on a curve. You don't get champagne fish on a beer budget. So, for cheap sushi... pretty damned good. The portions were generous, the setting quite clean and modern. The service was above-average and the specials were enticing. I'll definitely go back, especially after a workout at the nearby 24 Hour Fitness when I don't have the heart to eat a burrito afterwards. read more

Warning! The quality of the bento chicken and steak teriyaki has declined. Diner beware.

Amazing food. Great price. In particular, their hand rolls are well priced and the fish is always fresh. If you like tempura, theirs is my very favorite. Very quick as well. The location is not ideal, but it is worth it! I've seen others mention the decor - at this price point with this quality, who cares? read more

Food is spectacular! We have been coming here for the past ten years. The Crunchy Giant is delicious and our kids live California roll. 5 stars in our book! They have recently remodeled and it's even more impressive! read more

ordered the happy box dinner delivery the chicken teriyaki was barely worm, looks and tasted old not fresh, the tempura was cold soaked in frying oil, they forgot to include the sashimi that I paid for in the order. never again read more

Very disappointed. I used to love this place, but haven't been there for a couple years. I bought a friend there for her birthday the other night first of all we were one of the only people in there which should've been a sign second of all the miso soup they gave us was warm, and I had to send it back my chicken Bento box tasted terrible, they switched it out for some California rolls. Just not the same like it used to be I've never going back. read more

Hands down the best sushi spot! My family and I have been going here for years and haven't found better sushi. Always freshly made and super tasty. Staff is also great!

Staff didn't bother saying hello, eent straight to business and said "how many?" My daughter and I went there for lunch, had bento box, 1 order baked mussel and 1 order sushi roll and tab came up to almost $65. I checked the bill and was charged differently from the menu price. I questioned that to our server and her answer was, we haven't had a chabce to update our price menu. They should have informed customers about it and no effort at all to adjust the bill. Not only it took them long to serve our food ( only 5 customers in the restaurant), food wasn't great like it used to be, customer service was bad and to top it off with the bill issue. They just lost their business with my family. read more

Food is good, service is good. They took us even tho we suppose to close in 3 minutes

Love this place! The food is so good. The service is amazing and everyone there is so friendly. Always the go to for amazing sushi. Can't get enough of this place!!! read more

I ordered bento box for lunch. Chicken teriyaki taste awful. I think it was bottle teriyaki sauce pour over tasteless chicken. Teriyaki chicken should be marinaded in homemade teriyaki sauce but not this place. Tempura was overly battered and didn't taste right. I don't recommend this place due to quality and taste. One of the worst Japanese restaurant. read more

I am so happy to finally be indoor dining here again. This is hands down my go to Japanese restaurant for its outstanding price and freshness of ingredients. Service may be hit or miss, but they are all usually very friendly, though they can be slow. I've been here so many times, but wanted to point out that their beef teriyaki is super tender and not overdone and that their fish is always fresh and flavorful. Portions have gotten smaller recently with the Lunch Special bento (unbeatable price for the value), but it is still such a deal compared to many other similar Japanese spots. Thank you always for being so great to my family, especially to my mom and me! Can't wait to keep ordering out and dining in once again! read more

The food was good but the waitress was absolutely rude - She told me there is no manager here to answer my question of the lunch menu pricing and left me the bill to pay without much explanations. She did not even bother to help. Her attitude was unacceptable in every possible way in this regard. read more

Overall, decent food and okay service. I was the first one in the door for lunch when they unlocked the front door. The service was pretty good. And the food was good. I was a little irritated that they wouldn't turn the lights on! There were only 2 tables for the first hour, and I got the impression that they weren't turning on the lights to save money. Kind of lame. They didn't turn them on until I made a smart ass comment about it. Other than that, everything was okay. I also like the fact that this neighborhood is close to the airport, and it has good parking in case you're early for a flight and want to grab a quick meal outside SFO before a flight. -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

I have been going to Naked Fish for more than 10 years! I always get the exact same thing. They know me when I call. I moved about 20/25 minutes away about 2 years ago but still make the drive there to get my dinner! The last 5 times I've ordered to go, again same thing every single time, they have made mistakes. Literally every order for the last 5 years they have made some sort of mistake. This saddens me. I still enjoy the food but my order is simple and I just don't understand why they just can't get it right. The last time I realized it was wrong before I left and they remade it my roll so I had to wait and I was super hungry. I asked for just a few edamame and she tried to charge me for a whole side order of it! They couldn't even give me a few for their mistake and my time to wait another 10 minutes while my food that was right was getting. Old smh sad to say but I'm disappointed. read more

1. Bento 3 items served w/ rice, salad, miso soup - my boyfriend got the chicken cutlet, teriyaki salmon & teriyaki chicken. Portion was a bit small, but since it was lunch time It's understandable. 2. I got the beef teriyaki, chicken cutlet, and California roll. I usually always order the lunch combo at this place. The food here is decent nothing too wow and price isn't too bad as well. Although I wish their beef was better quality since it's a bit chewy and Miso soup is a bit on the salty side. My boyfriend usually order the bento box to go for himself and me after the gym, since it's in the same plaza. It's a place we order from when we really don't want to think so hard on where to go and when we have a hard time deciding. read more
