First time here and had to get the $42 Omakase which was so fresh and delicious! Really appreciated the fish to rice ratio and the sweet shrimp was a nice surprise. It comes with fresh wasabi which is how you know this place is legit. Will have to come back to try all the other things!
Came here at 8:30 pm and we were in and out super quickly. The quality of the fish is great, my favorite roll was the Romeo and Juliet as the palette for that was on the lighter side but our other rolls were great as well if you prefer saucier. All of our nigiri was delicious, my favorite was the Toro. Our squid came out last and the bite was perfect and not rubbery, I'd recommend this if you need extra protein. I think there's two Amami's on the same street, the other one just has Bistro in the name. I have no idea if they're the same thing but just something to note when punching it into your GPS. The parking lot is pretty small but since we came before closing, it was pretty empty. Overall, the customer service is efficient and the food was great!
Always calculate the tip amounts yourself, and don't trust the tip amounts provided by the restaurants! I went there recently. I selected 15% for the tips. Turned out the amount they provided is more than 15%!!! Look at the receipt I attached! Even though food was good, I will never go back and recommend this sushi place!
Don't get it twisted to the one next to Walgreens on Crystal Springs. This place is similar but a different vibe and a different menu. Here there's no physical menu there's a QR code. The outside seems pretty sketch, but the inside is really nice and cute, newly renovated. Good service, we came here because they open at 4:30pm compared to other sushi spots that open at 5. We were too hungry to wait. Their menu is pretty affordable, and I noticed that their omakase was very cheap. Would love to come back and experience that. We ordered the Tonkatsu dinner with me so and a salad. The tonkatsu was nicely breaded and seasoned and their rice was very good. We also ordered plain California roll to judge and I think the unagi lover roll. Both were pretty good. I don't honestly say this is an average sushi spot, nothing will go wrong here. and I'll definitely be back!
Was craving omakase, so I'm back at my favorite omakase spot. Arrived at 7 and was seated immediately at the bar. We ordered the omakase, chirashi rice plate, mixed tempura, and a hot sake. The omakase is still the best in town. The chirashi had a great selection of sashimi. The tempura -- which I forgot to take a picture of -- was crispy and delicious. I wish they gave two pieces of pumpkin because it was so sweet. They have a small parking lot with about 10 spaces, but if it's full, there's also street parking, so parking isn't an issue. They offer both bar seating and table seating, so you can choose what you prefer.
I went back again on my daughter birthday and my family enjoy :))) Thank you chef for a wonderful dinner sushi. So grateful
We always go here for the Omakase ($42) I tried a Lover's Boat instead this time. It was absolutely delicious ($52) My son loved his Lion King Roll also. This sushi place is one of my favorite places to eat in the Bay. I definitely recommend coming here.
The food and the service are outstanding! Food: the freshest, tasty, and generous-cut seafood nigiri sushis that my husband and I ever had in the Bay Area restaurants. Chef Erick's gorgeous plate presentation is a bonus! Service: waitress Vicky is very attentive and friendly, she also remembers what we'd ordered last time.
One of my favorite sushi restaurants. They offer very affordable lunch and dinner sets as well as omakase for $42. Their omakase only consists of 10 pieces but the pieces of fish is large. Great flavors and quality for its price. The restaurant can tend to get packed for dinners especially on weekends so make sure to come early or make a reservation.
After a good workout at the gym, decided to eat a little healthier and throw down some sushi. This place is still my favorite sushi joint in Bruno. If this place was in the same shopping plaza where my gym is i would probably eat there more often. The sushi there is so fresh and love that it is frequented by locals. It feels like a neighborhood spot as opposed to a trendy spot. Your boy went with his usual Amami Roll and Dragon Roll. This could be my Last Meal on Earth. If it were though, 2 rolls of each. These rolls are so good that I have considered working just to be able to eat for free. Just kidding, they would fire me after. week. Service was very good considering the place was packed--not an open seat in the house. The servers were on pointe keeping the hungry customers fed. Time to show the pics.
Their sushi quality is always good, that's what keeps people coming. Although, when they are short staffed, the wait for the food can be up to 45 mins. Made a reservation a day prior & the table was ready when we arrived. It wasn't as busy until 7:15-7:30. The whole place was packed on a Wednesday night. They automatically add 20% tip for our party of 8. We barely had customer service, since the waitress was swamped. Would've been nice to adjust the tip to slightly lower than 20% since we had to wait a long time for the food.
The parking is very tough here. The service is OK. We waited a very long time for our food. The food is your typical Amami spot. Highly recommend the Omakase or lovers boat. This location is not as clean as other locations I have been to before. this was not our first time here and won't be our last.
Passed by and had Amami Sushi in my bookmarks. I was able to try it on a Saturday night and it was fairly busy with people and to go orders. The lover boat was indeed a lot of fish and looks nice. But again quality is lacking. The Philadelphia roll was mainly cream cheese. The sliced ginger was old and fairly dry. I'd say if you want cheap-ish and not so great quality but big pieces of fish then try Amami. The service was good and you get a lot of food. But the quality is lacking. They have multiple food and health violations . They have a small parking lot and street parking
LOVE LOVE LOVE their Omakase!! Great DELISH sushi at a reasonable price. I also always love their good 'ol classic California Roll!!! That avocado with their crab meat... I can just pop them in my mouth like popcorn!!! lol XD Love this location! The wait staff is super friendly and efficient here. And the chefs are also very nice. And above all - the food is always good and alway super fresh. I most appreciate their Omakase here.. at about $45; you get 10 excellent pieces. Yes, it's not served to you one piece at a time - but hey, I'll take this over serving me one piece at a time at twice the price any day!!! The restaurant is humbly decorated; and always clean and comfy. Always excellent food. Always friendly and efficient service. Amami remains one of my favorite and most frequented restaurants. WAY TO GO!!! Highly recommended and you really can't go wrong with any dishes here. read more

Was able to make reservations on Google for dinner at 6 on a Saturday night. Driving to this place, be careful not to pass it, they do have a small parking lot, but can easily find ateer parking. Seated quickly and the service was great. The Chirashi i ordered was AMAZING. Just in terms of quality of the fish. Wife ordered the Omakase and it was delicious. Side note, not usually a big Uni fan but whatever it was it was DELICIOUS! We will definitely be returning, prices were reasonable and it started to fill up in the restaurant as we ate dinner. Nice interior, clean and simple vibes. read more

This place is quaint and perfect for family gatherings and date night. High quality sushi at a decent price. The Santa Barbara uni was perfect this time around! I have been to multiple Amami locations, but this one is my favorite. They are also open relatively late and the staff was so friendly. I will definitely be coming back here more when I get sushi cravings! read more

Came here over 2 years ago and had to wait over 1 hour because we had no reservation on a Friday night. This is after a 1.5 hours drive from San Jose! So I was in a negative mind set and had swore to never come back here. As fate would have it, I had a chance to come here again on a Sunday early evening. No waiting and the food was fantastic! The special Fatty O Toro was quite good and basically melted in my mouth. The portion was generous and the cut was just thick enough to make the fresh fish delicious. The next piece was the Ebi sweet shrimp head soup and sashimi style for the body. It's not on the menu so you have to ask for it. We also ordered the grilled Kampachi Kama. A grilled fish with 4 pieces of grilled fish that consist of 2 fish heads. Not recommend for non connoisseur of sushi. A squeeze of lemon on the fish make its a delicious treat. I also tried the Hamachi Jalapeño with some kick and the special oyster with quail egg and Tampico. Quite good. Didn't expect the food was this good so it was a nice surprise. Make sure to make reservation if you're coming. read more

My boyfriend's family and I all went there for the first time in a while, for me my first time ever. We ordered a lot of food, and at first it was very good. We got the miso soup, oysters, Hamachi Jalapeño, oyster special with uni and eggs, and the omakase. I devoured all of it. Afterwards I went to use the bathroom and I saw a few roaches on the wall coming from the kitchen. I tried not to think much of it. Sometimes it happens... but then when we were on the way home I ended up feeling really sick. I found out that I had gotten scombroid food poisoning. I've had food poisoning before but it was nothing like this... I had to take off work because of severe stomach pain, fever, chills, nausea and other issues that I won't name. I never leave bad reviews on places, but please be careful if you decide to come here. read more

Since moving from LA to the Bay Area, we've been struggling to find a good sushi place. After trying about 10 places, I can say I really like this one so far! I'm giving 4 stars only because I haven't had a chance to visit all the sushi bars in the area yet--not because of the food or service, which were both amazing. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

this place is extremely high quality and never disappoints. its one of my favorite places to grab takeout from. all the special rolls are extremely fresh and has a nice touch of crunch and sauce. they package it nicely and the rice is never stale. i ordered three items: * salmon lover roll: salmon skin roll with salmon and avocado topped with unagi sauce * lion king roll: baked california roll with cooked salmon * negi toro roll: chopped tuna toro with green onions all of these rolls were delicious! i cant speak too much on service and ambiance for this order since it was a takeout order. read more
First time dining here and it was a success! I had such an incredible time celebrating my friend's birthday. The restaurant was giving old school sushi restaurant vibeee. ;) Food was so delicious and fresh! Definitely coming back! Let's get into what we ordered for a party of 7! - 6 large bottles of Sapporo - 6 Hot Sake - 3 oyster special (SO SO SO GOOD!) - Soft shell crab - Yasai Tempura - 7 Omakase - Chef's Choice - 20 pc sashimi - Melted in your mouth roll - Ikura x2 - Uni (So buttery!) - Ama ebi x 3 - Salmon skin hand roll - Miso soup Bon Appetite! read more
Took my Valentine to Umami since sushi is his "thang". We ordered Tai Carpacio (3/5) Just alright Truffle Ponzu Sauce. This was our fave. But, today, the sauce was too diluted. Norwegian Salmon (5/5) So so good. The fish was buttery and succulent. 2 pieces for $15 though. Toro with Uni (4/5) It's pretty good. Never had uni before. But, they did a good job ! Romeo and Juliet Roll (2/5) Husband thing the black roe was a bit fist. I think it's okay. They added Sriracha on top. Man... that ruined the taste completely. Melt in your mouth toro. I cant rate this at all. See below. We started with Agedashi Tofu: Delicious and had a good crunch. Then, our sushi order did not come until 45min later. Our Melt in Your Mouth Roll never got to our table. We finished everything and the second roll was still MIA. We were in the restaurant for a total of 1.5hours by then. To make the experience worse, they did not answer their phone for the whole time. It was ringing ringing and ringing. What a stressful dinner. Yes, we cancelled our second roll. They have the audacity if asking for 18% tip! read more
What an amazing sushi experience!!! My fiancé and I decided to do a sushi date last night. The spot we usually go to was closed so we decided to try Amami for the first time. I am so glad we did! Everything was absolutely amazing!!! I thought the price of the O Toro and Chu Toro were very fair. And the O Toro was hands down one of the best I've ever had! Every fish was fresh and delicious with a huge ratio of protein to rice! I'm not much of a roll person but the two rolls we got (Colorful Roll and LA Roll) were amazing! The colorful roll was so refreshing while the LA roll was rich and flavorful! This will hands down be a go-to spot when we want to splurge on some sushi! read more

Walked in on a busy, Friday night and lucky enough to grab the last available table. Service was friendly but seemed like the kitchen was backed up with Uber/Doordash orders. We got our two rolls and squid early but then waited another 40 mins for the remaining two rolls and husbands Omakase. Ordered Lion King, Amami special roll and Romeo and Juliet which was my favorite. Bathroom was clean. Would come back but make reservations next time. read more

One of my favorite sushi spot in sf! Extremely good value omakase (~46) and the quality is amazing! read more
It's been awhile so I decided to come back here with coworkers after dinner. Pros: super quick friendly service at reasonable prices. They're fried roles were hot and made fresh. Cons: The tuna didn't taste that fresh and the Wakame salad was very slimy and tasted old. We also liked the tea here if that means anything. Solid 3 okay stars. read more
I feel like Amami used to be the spot to go to for cheap and good omakase! My friend and I went on a Friday night before dinner rush, as we luckily got seated within 10 minutes. We Ordered soft shell crab and a 49ers roll as an app and 2 omakase sets... we waited 35 mins for the omakase! I know they're busy, but danggggggg. I'm not sure how willing I am to drive across the bridge with $7 toll, look for parking in their tiny lot, wait for a table, just to wait some more. Omakase was good and affordable, but I don't think it's worth it anymore. read more

This was my first time going to the original Amami sushi and I was very pleased. It's a bit smaller than the one in South SF so I can definitely see it being busier at peak times. I came for dinner on a Thursday and my party of 4 was seated right away. Service was fast and efficient. We got the sushi deluxe as well as the chirashi. All the fish was very fresh. Also want to note that the bathroom was EXTREMELY CLEAN, like hotel/resort level clean. Not sure if it was just cleaned but reading other reviews seems like a norm. Just something to mention since I don't see this as often at other restaurants read more
