We loved the specialty rolls here! Excellent staples as well with the salad, soup, and appetizers. Absolutely we will return!!!

We had take out, and while it is quickly made and politely served, it was hands down the worst sushi I have ever had. The fish was anything but fresh. The smell alone made us take pause. The shrimp was slimy. Every one of us was entirely grossed out. I will not return and it may be a while before I can eat sushi again.

The only thing I can say about this place was that the fish seemed fresh, however it was supremely under seasoned. And that's just the beginning of the problems. I ordered a to go order and although I ordered clearly Horenso Goma-Ae and she pointed to it on the menu and we agreed that that's what I was getting, I ordered what I thought was an orange blossom roll, again pointing to the item on the menu so there would be no confusion, a miso soup and some nigiri Harami. I got a cherry blossom roll which has tuna on the outside and I do not like tuna. And I got a seaweed salad which is clearly not what I ordered, I also do not enjoy seaweed salad and much prefer the spinach. She even used the word spinach when she reiterated what I was ordering. Finally, upon seeing the mistake at home, I called them and let them know how disappointed I was that 90% of my dinner was not what I ordered and certainly was disappointing at best as I don't like what they gave me. Plus, I think what I paid cost more money than what they gave me. The icing on the cake was when they hung up on me. They clearly don't care about their customers and they certainly don't care about making things right. Beware when you go there! I would choose another place, a very good place is Naomi sushi in Menlo Park they've always been exceptional.

Order was available quickly, but food quality was mediocre. California roll was dry. Rice for rolls was flakey and didn't stick together. Nigiri sushi was oddly wet and unappealing.

My visit was a complete letdown. I ordered the sushi combo, expecting a delightful array of flavors. Instead, I received a plate of poorly prepared sushi that was clearly past its prime.As soon as the sushi platter arrived, I noticed a strange smell coming from the fish. I took a hesitant bite and immediately regretted it. The shrimp was undoubtedly spoiled, and the taste was nauseating. I called the server over and explained the situation, hoping for a resolution or an apology. However, they insisted that the sushi was fresh and that I must be mistaken.Feeling uncomfortable and unsatisfied with their response, I did not finish the meal. Evidently, the restaurant did not intend to acknowledge their mistake or make it right. I left the establishment with a bad taste in my mouth, not only from the sushi but also from the lack of concern for their customers.I won't return, and I urge others to be cautious about dining here. A restaurant's true colors shine through in handling customer complaints, and this one fell short in every way. Avoid this place if you value both your taste buds and customer service.

My new favorite sushi spot! I've come here about once a week for the past month and a half or so for lunch and it never disappoints. Food always comes out quickly, hot and tasty. I really enjoy their Deluxe Bento Box. Chicken teriyaki, rice, sashimi, salad, miso soup and tempura! And the price is great! Not to mention the service! They are always very polite, friendly and accommodating of me and my dog when we come. They have some outdoor seating for those nicer weather days. And if you sit inside it is cozy as well. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who's looking for a reasonably priced sushi spot that does not sacrifice quality.
Good, but I wouldn't say it was amazing. A hair overpriced and very good service. Felt like the ingredients were not the highest quality for what my expectation of a Portola Valley restaurant is.

Avoid anything with crab meat, as it’s dry and flavorless.

Wandered in after getting disgusted by the parking situation at another nearby restaurant. Very pleasantly surprised by the attentive service, taste and quality of the food, and the availability of gluten free options. Crab cakes were really good.
