I've eaten here probably 10+ times over the last couple years. Same experience every time…read more Food grade: A Service grade: C- to D Clarification on service: They are functionally very good (timely service, cleanliness) but very cold and unfriendly. Had the same experience every time. Make you feel kind of uncomfortable from placing your orders to asking for more napkins or anything. They have a fluid serving staff meaning you don't necessarily have the same serving staff throughout your experience. Our main server this evening was a man. He fit the description I previously provided about the poor service. There was a woman who helped us a couple times and she was much more friendly. Kudos to her. But generally, the overall service is as I described. If I'm spending $100-$200 plus leaving a good tip, I expect a good serving experience and they do not provide that. Huge opportunity area for the restaurant. It deters me from eating there which is sad because I love the food.

Good quality food! Peaceful Ghibli music, friendly service, and cute and clean ambiance…read more From the chirashi, the salmon, shrimp, and Hamachi was super good. Thick generous slices! Rice had good flavor and texture. The salmon was so good (buttery and nutty) we ordered more in sashimi form and got ocean trout which had really good flavor too.

Based on a recommendation, we decided to try Sushi Kazoku in San Carlos on Sunday around 7 PM, and…read morewhen it comes to the food, this place absolutely delivered. The fish was very fresh, and the sashimi was cut into surprisingly thick, generous pieces. We ordered several rolls and all of them were excellent. The curry was good as well, although fairly standard in flavor. The pricing was on point and completely fair. The standout for me thou was - the Romeo & Juliet roll. I absolutely loved it! I don't remember ever having this particular combination of hamachi and snow crab wrapped in soy paper, and it had an amazingly smooth balance of flavors. Nothing overpowered anything else -- the hamachi, snow crab and soy wrap just worked beautifully together. Easily my favorite dish of the night and may be for years to come! We also got Papillon & Kazoku Rolls which were also very fresh and tasty. New tastes for sure! Portions were generous, the freshness quality of the fish was excellent, and overall the food is absolutely worth coming back for. Unfortunately thou - the service was the complete opposite. We came in behind a couple of Uber Eats drivers, and our party of five was essentially ignored our big-family party completely for about 10 minutes while the staff ran around serving customers and handling orders. Sadly that pretty much set the tone for the rest of dinner. We asked for napkins and they never came. Our hot sake was forgotten until we asked about it. When we asked for kids' chopsticks, they had nothing to offer, so it was basically forks for the kids. The restaurant felt very fast-paced, and that speed didn't translate into attentive service. Maybe they're simply much more concentrated on getting the food right -- and, to their credit, they definitely do! We'll absolutely be back for the food, especially that Romeo & Juliet roll. We'll just return knowing that the great food comes with very little customer service.

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.

Local gem, very unassuming on the outside, but it's consistently booked and after trying it out, I…read morecan understand why. The fish is incredibly fresh, the ambiance is cozy, and the sushi chefs/waitresses are so friendly and sweet. We got the deep fried oysters in sweet vinegar sauce as an appetizer. So good! The oysters were placed in a brothy vinegar sauce, which cut the richness of the fried batter. I wish it was served hot, but it was more lukewarm. Taste was still great. We did the 8 piece omakase, which also comes with egg castella at the end. Every piece of fish, even the ones I normally don't love, was fresh and delicious. We also got a few hand rolls, which were solid. Pricing is super fair for the quality. This is one we'll be back to again and again.

We ordered 2 rolls and a Chirachi Don, and each dish was so so good! The fish was fresh and melted in my mouth, and the rolls were exceptionally tasty! I'm not sure where the fish is sourced from, but it tasted like it was just caught! At an affordable price, the Chirachi Don included so many types of fish and had generous portions. I was so full afterwards! In addition, the service was great! Our server was attentive and friendly and helped us choose between the so many different options. Highly recommend!!

We walked in without reservations, but were easily able to get a table still. The tableware was gorgeous, and the accompanying dishes also used the same dishwater. We went with: * Spicy Scallop Hand Roll $7 - It was pretty good, although a bit smaller than what I'm used to. * Maitake Tempura $13 - This was really a shining star of the meal. It was perfection with such a nice fry and flavoring on it. We loved it and ordered a second order. (After we ordered, we saw the neighboring table receive theirs, and was pleasantly excited to know we were getting an order too as it looked great!) We really would have loved another veggie tempura option to choose from beyond getting a whole order of mixed tempura. * Negi Toro Don $23 - This small rice bowl had toro, quail egg, and ikura. I really enjoyed the sushi rice in this dish more so than mine. * Kaisen Don $59 - This rice box includes blue fin toro, uni, rotate, homemade ikura, and real crab. It was gorgeous in the photo and gorgeous when I received it. I honestly thought I would be able to finish this on my own, but it's worth sharing especially when you're getting other items. My only complaint was that the sushi rice wasn't vinegary enough. The sushi rice in the Negi Toro Don had more flavoring than mine. Service was fine. We are still thinking about that maitake tempura when we were in town a couple of weeks later.

Amazing! This was our first time here, and we'll definitely be back for more. We came on a Friday…read morenight right when they opened. It's a little hole-in-the-wall spot, so it can be easy to miss, but they're serving fresh, high-quality fish. It's pretty small inside, but we were able to get seated right away. People started trickling in shortly after, though, so I can definitely see this place getting busy, especially during prime time. FOOD Salmon Sampler - 5/5 Very fresh! O-Toro - 5/5 Fresh and good! Japanese Uni Nigiri - 5/5 This was really good and creamy. Noma Roll - 3/5 This was okay. There were too many tempura flakes, which overpowered the entire roll. Dragon Roll - 5/5 Lion King Roll - 4/5 Karaage - 5/5 The kids really enjoyed this. Overall, we had a great experience for our first visit. Next time, I'd like to try more of their specialty rolls and some of their other special items as well.

Fish was fresh but that's about it…read more Sushi rice had absolutely no taste Salmon skin salad had no dressing and was just fried salmon with a little bit of salmon still attached to the skin. Meh The $39 10-piece signature Nigiri was disappointing. All it was maguro, salmon and some weird white fish. Tasteless. I did have some bluefin tuna roll that's supposed to have truffle with it, but had absolutely no hint of truffle but was the most decent dish of the night I wouldn't go back.

Great sushi. Service is top notch and the fish is top grade. Great location but small restaurant…read more I would recommend reservations to avoid having to wait.

I'm definitely conflicted about this place!…read more First off, the food is impeccable. The best sushi Redwood City has to offer. No notes. The deluxe chirashi was a great bang for our buck. Real wasabi! The roll was a miss for us, especially when the nigiri are so tender. HOWEVER...the wait time is insane. We waited for 45 minutes after ordering to see any food at all, when there were only 4 parties in the restaurant. For that reason, I'm not sure I would come back.

Even the dessert and the miso soup had a little twist that made it unique. The chef was also very pleasant and easy to talk to. The style isn't as wild as Robins non traditional style but it truly is edomae with some elevated modern twists. One thing I noticed was almost every piece or maybe even every piece was dry aged for a few days instead of serving straight fresh. They also don't dress it up so much to take away from the fish but to compliment the fish and give it that subtle but noticeable specialness instead of just the nikiri glaze. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was and I'd def recommend if you're an omakase enthusiast!

We start out strong with ankimo, my favorite, on a chip. Smooth buttery goodness paired with crunchy nori. Fried tilefish - soft and crispy at the same time Komochi yari Ika - baby squid that pops in your mouth with side of sashimi, then even more squid stuffed with mochi rice. Not 100% sure which this menu item referred to, but both excellent Chawanmushi with abalone - so. much. abalone. They aren't skimping! The sushi: Mikandai (mandarin orange snapper) Kasugodai (young snapper) Sakuramasu (cherry trout) Hirasuzuki (sea bass) Ebi (Toyama shrimp) Maguro (minced bluefin tuna) Ebodai (Japanese butterfish) Zuke toro (soy cured bluefin fatty tuna) Bafun uni (Hokkaido sea urchin) Shirayaki (fresh water eel) No notes on any of the sushi, everything perfectly seasoned and served. My client and I were talking a bit too much and they kept having to remind us so they can serve everyone doing the course experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect to chat as we are on the quieter side. At this point we got pretty full but we kept going: Chi ayu handroll - so cute, a baby fish with its mouth open...but so good too. Miso soup - unique white miso, a flavor I have yet to experience until this meal Dessert - so good I didn't get a picture and can't remember what it was anymore. One thing I would do differently is serve the soup first. The flavor was so good and I guess I'm a stickler for preparing my stomach with a hot soup, but also because it was so good I wouldn't mind having it twice haha. Overall a really good experience and I'll definitely be back! Excited to see how the menu progresses with time.

Oh Baby is right…read more One evening I was staying at my gf's place close by and looked for sushi in the area. Oh Baby was 5 mins away. We tried the Oh Baby roll and the rest was history. We get: oh baby roll, rainbow roll, edamame, and spicy tonkatsu ramen (medium spice). The service is always great. Super nice atmosphere in the restaurant too.

Vegetarian reviewer: I've been to this place and a few times and it's been a delight every time!…read more They have plenty of veggie options, along with sake and tempura. All the dishes are interesting and very flavorful, service is pretty quick as well. I've tried the Veggie Tempura and Agedashi Tofu from the bites section. Both are delicious even though these are fairly simple dishes, as expected. Tempura is oily as expected and is something which I skipped the next time to try some of the many nicer items they have to offer. It's crispy and delicious- and simple, what you'd expect from a tempura. All the vegan sushis are awesome and I especially liked their Veggie Tiger Roll and spicy veggie roll. None of the ingredients, like cream cheese overpower the flavors - everything is well balanced and each ingredient stands out uniquely on its own. Yum! It's a cute and small restaurant and they do not take reservations- only walk-ins. So I'd suggest going with some time in hand or going at an odd time. It wasn't too busy around 1:30 pm and we got a table for us pretty quickly. There's a big parking lot - so it isn't an issue there.
