Absolutely delicious sushi - I loved the cucumber roll and seared salmon & scallop oshizushi! It's a small spot with just 14 seats, but boy did we have a good time. The food came out quick, parking is easy, and service is sharp. We will be back with friends!
Came into Ryoshin on a Sunday and enjoyed their omakase and toro tasting. The quality of the fish is top tier and would highly recommend their omakase for the value.
We came in for an early dinner at around 4:30p. The restaurant had just opened so we were the only customers besides a few to-go orders. The restaurant is quite small and parking is limited. We ordered the super salmon sampler, toro sampler, Ryoshin roll, and the super lion king roll. Both the salmon and toro sampler were excellent- delicately flavorful fish served with fresh wasabi. Although the portions were on the smaller side, the quality does make up for it. If you're deciding between the two, I'd go with the salmon sampler. The Ryoshin roll was a bit too "saucey" but again the fish was fresh and we still devoured it, just wouldn't order again. I'd also skip the lion king roll, the scallop was tough and the roll lacked the baked warmth I was expecting. Overall our meal was enjoyable but I wouldn't consider this a "bang for your buck" type of restaurant. Regardless I'd like to return and sample the other nigiri items as they do have quite an extensive menu.
RYOSHIN LITERALLY HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD. No matter how many sushi spots I try, Ryoshin will always be my favorite. When I first tried this spot, I was literally so obsessed that we practically dined here every other week. But then reality hit after looking at my bank statement... If I had to choose only one restaurant to eat at forever, I would choose Ryoshin. The quality and freshness is consistent every single time. My mouth salivates whenever I think about it.
This was a cute little spot in Belmont with a large selection of sushi rolls, nigiri/sashimi, and hot dishes. We both ordered the 12-piece nigiri omakase to start. The selection of fish was high quality and each piece was already seasoned so that you do not need to dip it into soy sauce. For $70 and the guaranteed inclusion of uni, we found it to be a good deal. Afterward, we ordered a few additional pieces of nigiri as well as a sushi taco. The sushi taco was a handroll with the nori dipped in tempura batter and fried. It was tasty and different. Kudos to them for the concept! This is a small operation with only 14 seats and only a few people working. They did well to keep up with the service. It's not fast service, but it's alright too. Parking is limited to street parking, so you may need to hunt around for a spot if it's busy. This is a great spot for a casual date night with lots of options to accommodate varied tastes and omakase options that won't break the bank!
Very tight and cute sushi spot. Quality is surprisingly good! Service is friendly and they have limited opening hours. Parking is limited to the street. If you hate being cloisters then this place isn't for you to dine in. Take it to go! :) Thank you!
Hamachi toro nigiri, Black Sea bream nigiri, scallop nigiri all very delicious. Fish melted in my mouth. Overall their nigiri are all amazing. Everytime we came quality is very consistent. We also got the dessert on the house.
A small hole in the wall restaurant. Prompt service. Fresh & delicious omakase. Premium quality!
Small little sushi spot, but cozy and good. If it's busy, takeout is also a good option. Good flavors and fish. I like their RY roll. It's basically a california roll topped with spicy tuna, tobiko, and various sauces. The flavors are excellent together. The tuna is minced which I didn't expect, but a tasty end result!
To go review: chose a local spot for dinner and it was alright. Our rolls were a bit smaller than expected at that price point but I guess that's inflation right? The inside of the restaurant seemed TINY though like the size of a 1 car garage. Anyways, the 49ers roll was decent but I think 3 sake hand rolls would be a better value haha. Food: 7/10 Value: 4/10
THEY ACCOMMODATE FOR GLUTEN ALLERGIES! My choices at sushi restaurants are generally pretty limited, so it was such a wonderful surprise to be able to eat sushi that wasn't just sashimi. They informed me how my dishes would be accommodated, and brought tamari to the table as well! So so incredible; I truly cannot express my delight knowing there's a place with so many more delicious and safe options. My partner and I ordered the Super Salmon Tasting and Toro Tasting to share (adjusted for gluten allergy), as well as an R.Y. Roll for him. We were walked through what each type of fish was in both tastings, all of which were wonderful to try and experience. My partner loved his roll as well! For a small unassuming spot, I didn't have many expectations going in, so I was absolutely blown away by the quality of it all! The fish was so fresh -- nothing smelled or tasted too fishy, the fatty pieces still ate very cleanly, and the pieces were cut and plated beautifully without being overwhelming. The space is a little small, but it makes for a perfect weekday date night spot. All in all, this is my new favorite sushi restaurant in the peninsula for sure; service is wonderful and the food is even better!
This place did not disappoint me. We made reservations for dinner and parking was so easy. We knew exactly what we wanted. The Omakase! The place is actually pretty small. I didn't know it was that small which i felt we can hear all the other conversations in the other tables. Let me start the order of the first 4 nigiris, each set of nigiris came out on a different plate. I liked the plates as they looked really pretty. The first set had the kanpachi-Japan, Kurodai- Europe, iwana-Canada, and hirame kombuijme(flounder-Korea). These first 4 literally melted in my mouth esp the Iwana! You can never go wrong with Kanpachi and kurodai, it lived up to it's standards. The next four that came out were the Hamachi Toro-(Canada), Umi Masu- (Scotland), Madai-(Japan) and Shima Aji (Japan). These four were just as amazing! Out of these four my favorite was the Madai. It was marinated very well. The flavors combo was so good. To my surprise the next dishes that came out had uni! Uni (Japan), something i can't remember, Hotate, Zuke sake Toro (Canada). Based on these nigiris you know you hit the jackpot. Of course my favorite was the uni, followed by the hotate, and Zuke Sake Toro and finally the something i can't remember. The final five had what I think is a tuna fish, Chu toro, King sake Toro, hamachi toro and sake toro. These were all so good, the sake toro was my favorite. In addition, we ordered the Uni Hotate and the Engawa. These two i can eat every single day. The Engawa, literally melted in my mouth. I wish i didn't have to share the two pieces. It was so amazing, i started to look for it everywhere i sent since. I will def come back here !
Since friends recommended it, we meant to try this small sushi bar for a long time and it didn't disappoint. This is a really small place with maybe six tables or so. They also have some outdoor seating alongside the building's front. So make a reservation, order out, or time your visit well. We chose a dish from the seasonal rolls, the fusion rolls, and handrolls. Everything was fresh and with distinct wonderful flavors (and not drowned out by flavored mayo, sesame oil etc). You pay for good quality dishes - although I think nothing we had was overpriced. We enjoyed hot tea with our meal and left happy, satisfied and with the intention to return and try many more dishes from the extensive menu.

The sushi here was soooo good and fresh. Everything was cooked to perfection and melt in my mouth. The waitress was also super nice and was so friendly. She even gave me a free mango pudding that's just top tier service. The whole restaurant just gave Japanese vibes. Me walking in felt like walking into a restaurant in Japan! The food overall 10/10. The service 10/10. The Ambiance 10/10. Would highly HIGHLY recommend. read more
Sometimes restaurants get better after I've been there years earlier and Sometimes, well, they don't. This is a don't case. I haven't been here in over 5 years, so I feel a lot has changed. Let's get to it. Just wasn't as fresh as the sushi I had before. The cucumber salad was awful, the baked mussels were lukewarm, the sushi was just okay, not the best. The roll choices I felt were limited. The complimentary dessert was also awful. The shrimp tempura tasted and looked like it was from a Trader Joe's package at a 100% market up. Just disappointed, count me out. read more

I've tried this place twice and I loved each time. Ryoshin could honestly be my go to sushi spot now that I'm in Belmont. I was unsure about ordering at first because sushi is usually a hit or a miss and you never really know if the fish will be fresh or not... well, I got it. AND IT WAS SO GOOD. Prices are kind of high for the portions, but the fish is fresh and worth it. I opted for their Chirashi bowl (perfect amount of rice, does not overdo it at all), salmon belly nigiri, and baked lion king roll. Everything was good. Did not disappoint. They're available via DoorDash for delivery which makes it easy to order, but I would make the trek over here just for their Chirashi bowl. read more
I want to give my local business another try and oh boy, did I make a bad decision. I thought after a few years have passed, things would get better as the recent reviews have been mostly positive. TLDR- I was constantly in the bedroom after the meal (I will spare you with the details). Other reviewers have also commented on this but I thought nah... What would be the odd....I think someone should really inspect this place to ensure consumers safety. It's too bad this review came in the time like this but I believe food safety is the #1 priority. In addition to safety, look at this $20 chirashi bowl. So tiny that it's the same size as the handroll. Picture tells its all. You'll be the judge. read more

Ordered on a Thursday night for scheduled takeout. There was a good amount of parking outside. I got a lion king roll, a ryoshin roll, a summer roll, a juicy roll, and a hokkaido scallop oshizushi. Everything was amazing and fresh and just melted in your mouth. I should've looked closer at the menu though because three of the rolls were basically a variation on a california roll. The lion king was rich. It just broke in my mouth. Because it's covered by tin foil, it stayed warm during the drive home. Ryoshin roll had a good kick to it. It was rich as well. Fish was super fresh. Juicy roll was good too. It was kind of like the ryoshin roll but with less spice. Summer roll was light and refreshing. Perfect if you don't want to be overly stuffed. The hokkaido scalllop oshizushi was my favorite. The scallop just melted once you put it in your mouth. It was so satisfying. I'd definitely come back for sushi. The takeout was amazing. I can't wait to dine-in when it is safe to do so. read more

AMAZING!! My husband is a long time customer from years ago and brought me here for the first time! The sushi is incredible. Very tasty and the correct portion size. The service here was great - our server was very friendly and when we asked about anything she'd recommend, she gave us great choices! A cute cozy spot for a date night or to go out with friends. We will be back soon! read more

this unassuming lil sushi restaurant was so good! we had 2 sushi boxes (yellowtail&salmon sashimi/spicy tuna roll and salmon&albacore sashimi/ca roll), belmont roll, and seared salmon/scallop oshizushi. YUM!! fish quality was so good and everything was delicious...it even came with miso soup + mango dessert at the end. staff was nice and quick too! one of my new fave spots in the bay read more
A friend recommended this place to me awhile ago but I didn't get a chance to go until recently during COVID SIP even though it's less than 10 minutes away from me. There's so many items to choose from this small place which looks there was only a few small tables pre COVID. I did takeout and the phone ordering was easy and my order was ready very quickly for pickup. The fish here is very tasty and fresh. If you want high quality fish at a reasonable price, this is the place to go in San Mateo. They also have wooden press non seaweed oshizushi which I tried for the first time. This is what we ordered and liked them all: Unagi oshizushi Ebi oshizushi 6 pieces super salmon tasting 5 pieces toro tasting Matcha Mille-crepes cake Original Mille-crepes cake The Mille crepes cakes were deelish! Light and flavorful. My only complaint would be that the rice is slightly too vinegar tasting which someone else mentioned in a review as well. Give this place a try! read more

My favorite sushi spot only because they are one of the few places that have seared oshi sushi ( pressed sushi )! Its a small establishment with only 7-8 tables. Ive only gone here for dinner and its busy but not packed. Its a great hidden sushi gem and we love going here for their great tasting sushi as well as the friendly service. The prices are also reasonable. There is usually a lot of street parking available. read more
Ryoshin makes good omakase for a neighborhood sushi restaurant. They are popular for their sushi rolls but have a solid selection of nigiri and have nice omakase weekly specials, like their toro tasting. Because they have a small dining area, seating for about 12-15, they seem to do a lot of take out versus dining in. Also, there is no sushi bar seating and they don't serve liquor. The prices are reasonable too. read more

Not only one of the best sushi restaurants in San Fran, one of the best I've enjoyed anywhere. What makes them special is they have a nice variety of fish, some of which I've never tried before. If you go, I hope you'll experiment and try some things you've never eaten before. I only wished we lived closer. read more

First time trying Ryoshin. They have very limited hours, as in 3 hours open today. The prices are not for the faint of heart. I ordered 2 rolls for $37 and change after taxes. The food quality is excellent and taste is great, but portions are small for what you pay. I tried to give a size comparison for the rolls. The 49'er roll is $18.95 and cucumber roll (forget the exact name) was $13.95. The cucumber makes for a very refreshing bite. read more
