    Restaurant front

    Caught a quick late afternoon lunch with the bro-in-law and hubs. We were immediately welcomed and shown our seats. Restaurant was clean and bright. The teriyaki chicken was ok but lacked flavor. The California Roll was definitely flavorless and the rice a tad mushy. The miso soup was served before the meal, had little chunks of tofu and was luke warm although the flavor was there. The restaurant receives a lot of to go orders for pick up and actually turned away two couples as they were closing to prepare for dinner. I honestly was not a fan of the meal but don't hesitate to give it a try.

    40-MINUTE LUNCH SERVICE Last Tuesday I came here for lunch at the last minute. I arrived at 1:10 PM yet lunch service was going to close at 2:00 PM. I could not take too much time ordering items. For appetizers I ordered two items I'm accustomed to at Japanese restaurants - chicken kaarage and shrimp and vegetable tempura. For the sushi roll I thought about getting a shrimp tempura roll. Since I ordered a shrimp tempura I decided to get another type of roll. As Satsuma Sushi is located on E. El Camino Road I decided get order the El Camino Roll, which is a sushi roll I never ordered before I was shocked that the first time to get was the sushi roll instead of the two appetizers first. The El Camino Roll has two distinct textures. There is the raw yellow tail in the middle with the seared eel on top. When you take a bite of the roll you taste the raw and cooked fish. The El Camino Roll was filling and satisfying. I am glad I didn't order a sushi roll that I ordered before. Any items that are breaded and deep fried the breading can't be soggy. The breading on both the chicken kaarage and tempura was crispy. The meat on the chicken kaarage was moist. Even though I enjoyed the shrimp tempura I liked how the vegetable tempura wasn't overcooked. Vegetables that are overcooked tend to be mushy. However that wasn't the case with the vegetable tempura as they were cooked al dente. With a quick lunch I enjoyed my meal at Satsuma Sushi last Tuesday. I don't go to Mountain View often but if I'm craving for something to eat I know I can get a good meal at Satsuma Sushi without worrying.

    Super delicious Sashimi really fresh! You have to try their wagyu beef Nigri, and Blue fin Taro. It melts in your mouth. Friendly service! Plenty of seatings.

    Used to come here often with my colleagues when I used to work in Mountain View. Always liked their special rolls options. One time we had also ordered the boat (we were in a large group). Fish tastes fresh and the rolls are really good. Have started coming here again. And, it is still as good.

    Age Dashi Dofu- good Ika Yaki- grilled squid TOUGH. They can prep it to be tender The bentos were reasonably priced with decent variety. Interior was fine, would come back again. Service was nice also.

    We were looking for some good sushi before flying home. Stopped here on the way to the airport. Miso soup was salty. I asked for iced green tea and got iced black tea. My wife asked for hot green tea, got hot water. Asked to have it replaced with green tea and got the same hot water. The agedashi tofu was tasteless. The sushi deluxe combo looked nice, but the fish was veiny and the rice seemed like it was a day old. It was hard and not very tasty. I didn't finish my sushi. On the plus side, it had a nice atmosphere and the servers did a decent job. That said, we will not come here again!!

    6/12/2024 Satsuma Sushi 705 E El Camino Real Mountain View, CA 94040 We went there for a quick lunch around 1PM on a Wednesday. It's next to Best Buy so there's lots of parking. There is a small sushi bar with half the chairs used for storage. The dining area is a booth, table and bench layout. We both ordered rolls, Musashi for Wifey and El Camino for me. The fish in mine was fresh, tasty and plentiful. I thought the lettuce in the Musashi was a little odd but overall a good roll. Service was fast and attentive. I've had the bento boxes before a long time ago and they were also good. Definitely repeatable.

    Lion King roll *not baked* (front), Kampachi Sashimi (top left), & Sakura Roll
    KC B.

    Not too busy on a Saturday afternoon. Almost empty upon arrival so we got seated right away and service was really attentive. Ordered Miso Soup, Kampachi Sashimi, the Lion King Roll (not baked btw), & the Sakura roll. Just a few bad notes: the tempura batter on the Lion King Roll was slightly stale, the rice was oddly kind of cold, and the ginger was also a bit dry/ not fresh. Overall, I'd say this is a decent spot. My fave was the Sakura Roll and I liked that the Kampachi Sashimi slices were chunky. I even enjoyed their hot green tea haha

    Fresh fish, attentive service, and reasonable pricing. My favorite is the sashimi salad. Others like the rolls and sushi nigiri. Our go-to sushi restaurant if we are in the area.

My favorite poke was the spicy mango tuna--so flavorful. They even include a mini bottle of soy sauce, which was such a cute touch. There are plenty of sides to choose from, and you get a really good amount of rice. The sushi boat is definitely on the pricier side, and I was a bit skeptical at first because of the packaging. I wasn't sure if the quality would live up to the presentation, but it absolutely did. The packaging is not only fun but also super functional--perfect for taking to the beach, a park, or a party.

It just happened to be today that we got to go visit one and I was pleasantly surprised. From the quality and speed of the food to the prompt service, my visit exceeded my expectations. Firstly, their Signature Udon, it's not like anything I've ever experienced and it was great! That creaminess, that umami-ness, that well balanced saltiness, it was very good and I'd definitely get it again. My wife got the Tonkatsu Udon and that in itself was very good. It wasn't just replacing ramen with udon noodles, it was more to enhance and make it all work. We ordered a kids udon and the quality of the fried corn and multiple items prepared seemed thoughtful. We also ordered the Udon Meshi, which was good, but the other items shined. Service was great. Granted, we were the first in the door, but we were greeted by multiple wait staff and water level was always kept above half. The restaurant itself has great ambiance. Tables that seat many people comfortable and some tables that allow for a more romantic setting. Parking may get tricky, but a worthy spot to visit.

    Amazing Katsu really shines where it counts: the katsu itself…read more Both the chicken and pork katsu are consistently excellent--crispy, perfectly fried, and still juicy inside. No heaviness, no grease. Just very solid comfort food done right. The double meat katsu does not come with curry sauce, even though the name and the photo make it seem like it does. What actually comes out is a lot of cabbage, a small amount of rice, and no curry. You can order curry sauce on the side, but it's a very small portion for the price--more like a dipping sauce than something you can really pour over your katsu and rice. Because of that, we usually end up making our own curry and rice at home to pair with their katsu. I personally skip the premium tonkatsu since it's a bit too fatty for me, but the regular pork and the chicken are both excellent and dependable. Bottom line: the katsu is genuinely delicious--just don't rely on the photos when ordering if curry is what you're craving.

I feel like the value here is pretty good, especially considering the 3 item bento is only $20.95 which is the cost of a 2 item bento at many other Japanese restaurants. The quality, on the other hand, was just ok. Chicken teriyaki was on the stringy side, sashimi didn't feel super fresh, batter on chicken karaage was soggy (though chicken itself was juicy), and the rolls in the Kakaroto sushi sashimi combo were hot which half-cooked the sashimi which was not great. They also used the same teriyaki sauce on many dishes, including the rolls, the teppan sizzling plate, and even the dipping sauce for the chicken karaage. Didn't feel like the teriyaki sauce for chicken karaage was fitting since it usually comes with a kewpie mayo instead. The prawns in the teppan sizzling plate were also clearly from frozen shrimp and weren't fresh at all. Overall I think the quality was a bit of a miss. Service was friendly though and food came quickly. Miso soups did arrive at different times and we had to request missing ones as they were forgotten.

Super awkward and honestly not the waiter's fault at all. Then later the same manager came over to tell us we couldn't drink an outside beverage at the table. Totally understand restaurants having policies, but the way everything was handled just felt cold and uncomfortable. The food itself was decent, and the waiter did his best, but overall the experience was bizarre because of the management. With so many other great spots around with better hospitality, I don't think we'd come back.
