    Nama beeru!!
    Sarah H.

    Visited twice recently for weekend lunch, and it's quickly become a favorite. The waiting line starts forming around 11:30am, about 30 minutes before opening but it's absolutely worth the wait. From the moment you step inside, the warm, clean and welcoming ambiance stands out. Menu is rather simple but the quality of the food really shines. Both the Bara Chirashi and the assorted sushi lunch set were excellent, generous portions and beautifully balanced flavors. Parking can be a bit tough but again worth it's well the effort ;)

    I was a big fan of Sushi Sam's back in the day and was delighted when a good friend invited me to come to Sushi Edomata to have dinner. When you enter it is a bright space and like the old place it is cheery and a party - lots of Happy Birthday yells - and the waiters speak Cantonese like the old place! My friend booked a table online and we were seated within 10 minutes of our time. The service is exceptional. Our waiter was super friendly, gave us excellent recommendations, order to eat the sushi in, and paid attention to every detail. As for the sushi - top notch. The bluefin was the reddest boldest one I've ever had. The black cod is transcendent. The kiwi on top and the sauce pairs perfectly. Rosy seabass very good. Even standard salmon is very good. Generous with their cuts, much more fish than rice. Oh and the eel. Not your standard super sweetened unagi, this has much more subtle and nice flavour. Almond tofu is soo smooth. You won't regret coming here.

    It took us awhile to get here but we finally made it. Sushi Edomata is the spinoff from Sushi Sam's. The location is still in San Mateo about 20 blocks or so from the original location on 3rd. The place is still fairly small, but aesthetically pleasing and warm. It was wonderful to see many familiar faces still running the restaurant. They only take reservations for dinner now. We had one for 8 p.m. but weren't seated until closer to 8:20 p.m. This was the same issue they had at Sushi Sam's, but not as bad. Hopefully this will improve over time. The special fish is now only one nigiri per order, but I was super happy that they had rosey seabass on the menu and they weren't out of it. It was $10 per piece. The toro is now $13 a piece. Prices have gone up quite a bit. Six of us, including a bottle of sake and a couple of beers, came to $840 with tip. Steep pricing for a Friday night meal. I really enjoyed my experience and was delighted to eat my favorites again.

    Previously I was only able to get a table by lining up 15 minutes before their lunch opening but was pleasantly happy that they updated their reservations to the online system. I, most recently, was able to call same day and get a 8 PM dinner reservation. Kelvin was super friendly and very accommodating and I appreciated that he was able to check with the other reservations and call me back prior to confirming any availability. Lunch time is great since it's easier to get a seat but just be aware most of special fishes aren't available at that time. My go to fish here is Akamutsu but they always run out which is a bummer. Their California rolls are the best! Don't sleep on it. Their Kani salad is fresh and creamy just like their California rolls. Hokkaido uni is rich and has no metallic aftertaste taste. Monkfish liver is buttery and the umami sauce they added to it was delightful. Baby lobster was cooked to perfection and had no chewiness. All the wait staff are fun and really accommodating and I highly recommend coming here for dinner with friends, family or significant others.

    Made a last minute reservation for 8pm and was seated right in front of the sushi chefs. We ordered the omakase and enjoyed every piece. Everything tasted fresh and the fish to rice ratio was perfect. My fave pieces were the uni, toro and rosy sea bass! Cant wait to come back and try more!

    Although we miss the original staple in San Mateo, Sushi Sam's, were happy to have visited his team that are continuing in his tradition of servicing fine Japanese cuisine! I still remember the faces of his original team and their ever so delightful greeting when you enter the establishment. We went with our favorite dishes as well as tried some dishes for the first time. They all hit their mark and brought me back to my first wow experience. Even after we visited Japan and having dined at some of their sought after restaurants, the team at Sushi Edomata are one of the best to bring that taste and experience of Japan stateside. If your looking for authentic Japanese food served by true Japanese chefs who were trained by one of the greatest Japanese chefs I've had the chance to personally know for almost his entirety in San Mateo, I highly suggest to visit his team here at Sushi Edomata, they will not disappoint! Edomata team, please send Sam my warm greetings and continued Blessings during his retirement!!

    Sushi Edomata has even more delicious food - plus the same excellent service and staff from Sushi Sam's! The restaurant itself is cheerful, vibrant, and spacious. You could feel the joy radiating from every table tonight. At Sushi Sam's, the quality of crab meat stood out as supreme. I ALWAYS ordered several of the temaki (SSS, California) and rainbow roll. Happy to say that, tonight, the temaki tasted better than ever. I love the crunch of the dried seaweed too. Chili dog - spicy tuna - features a nice mix of seaweed salad. The chili dog is my absolute favorite spicy tuna ever. The fresh fish on the rainbow roll was fantastic. We were pleasantly surprised by the baby mushrooms in our agedashi tofu. So good. Everything here is 10/10, even the tiny mushroom. Overall, our food was as expected - fresh, delicious, and photo-worthy. I really wish I could have kept eating! We really enjoyed our first visit and hope to be able to return regularly just like we did before at Sushi Sam's.

    I'm glad Sushi Sam revitalized into Sushi Edomata. The infamous Sam Special temaki still tastes divine as ever, with a side of nostalgia. This was our first time dining at the restaurant as well as ordering the omakase menu, which entails of 9 nigiri and your choice of dessert. Additionally, we ordered 3 of their handrolls per person (Sam Special, Chili Dog, California Special). Unsurprisingly, the last course of the nigiri, which was the fatty tuna, was the most memorable. The fried shrimp was a great contrast in textures as well. I do like that they don't apply too much wasabi. I wasn't 100% impressed with all of the fish though; one or two had that refrigerated/cold texture that you wouldn't expect from high-end fish preparation. The bill totaled to over $200, yet we left not quite full. I'd still come back for the iconic temaki, but may stick to getting sushi rolls and/or select nigiri. I'd recommend reserving chef's counter seating over the closely arranged tables. Do expect a bit of a wait though even if you have a reservation.

    Fresh fish. Efficient service. Bright space. Nice to not feel crowded in. Good neighborhood sushi restaurant.

    Parking was very difficult to find. Had to park a few blocks down. The ambiance here is cute and cozy. However, I do think the tables were a bit too close to each other. I would have loved more space next to the other people eating. The food was amazing! All the fish was nice and big and fresh. The dishes were full of flavor. You can tell the chefs care about quality and detail. The staff were friendly, but I think they were a bit busy. It was sometimes hard to find our waiter to refill our waters. I want to come back and do the omakase one. The person I went with is a bit picky with his fish, so he did not want chef's choice. It was okay though because each dish he ordered was great! Also, I loved the bathroom. So spacious and clean. Also the wall decor was lovely.

    Wow! What a great place to get some amazing sushi! Although small and very hard to get a reservation, you will not be disappointed! We were a party four and everything we ordered tasted great! We missed the opportunity to try the Matcha Tiramasu, which I've heard is amazing. We will have to try again next time. Highly recommend if you want really good service and great tasting food!

    As a huge fan of Sushi Sam's, I was ecstatic about this new location. I made a reservation through their website. It feels a lot more spacious than the previous location, and everyone can see the chefs from their table so that's nice. All of my favorites from Sam's were still so good. Even the workers are the same right after I went, I tried to book another reservation Amazing service, as usual.

    Finally visited after they moved to this new location! I didn't realize they were around Kaizen (another fav) so parking can be pretty tricky - try your luck with street parking on El Camino. This new location is equally popping. We made a reservation a few weeks ahead of time and got an 8pm slot. The interior is modern. Food wise, everything was delicious. I tried the omakase - standard 8 pieces + 4 add on. Fish was fresh and seasoned perfectly. A few other things I tried: some eggplant tofu dish which was pretty unique, gomaae spinach, veg in dashi broth (nothing special) and the white king salmon fish collar. The fish collar was another standout. The omakase ends with a dessert of your choice. I tried the Hojicha tiramisu since I love tiramisu. It was not bad but the cake part was on the drier side. Our servers were also very friendly and attentive. Can't wait to be back!

    Ask the Community - Sushi Edomata

    Do a lot people wait at opening hour at lunch on a Saturday?

    Yes, it's fairly popular and busy on weekends.

    Does lunch require reservations?

    I would recommend reservations as this place fills up fast even if you are a walk-in.

    Do they take reservations for omakase?

    Yes, call during the afternoon hours (when they are less busy) or later in the evening to make a reservation. :)

    Do they serve Sake now?

    If you look at the photos, under "menu," there is a recent post of a receipt showing beer purchase, and if you look at "drinks," there are photos of sake bottles. But, we'll be going soon and I will check back in with a definitive answer!

My go-to here is, of course, the tsukemen. As a self-proclaimed ramen purists - keep the onsen egg and medium rare pork. All I need is a dank broth with some perfectly (maybe slightly tooth) al dente noodles. While the tsukemen here might not be for everyone , it totally hits the spot for me. The unique taste of the dipping broth is one which can only be found here, as well as their noodles which have their own size and consistency. Don't get me wrong, all their other offerings are pretty good too. In particular I like the mazesoba. Recently they also hatched a new limited duck tsukemen. As tough as it was to pry me away from the original or the soupless ramen, I was convinced by staff this would be enjoyable - and it was. Super light but complex. This had a rich and earthy flavor whole also being light and, fragrant with yuzu. Service here is exceptionally friendly but also rigid. Items tend to come as they are with little to no flexibility for adjustments, but they'll let you know very nicely. Overall taishoken makes the short list of bay area ramen spots for me, in particular when craving their rich & hearty tsukemen that'll be sure to satisfy any ramen craving, but even in hot weather. Besides that, taishoken has a particular spirit it carries, one that I recognized even from spotting their original location on Tony Bourdain's earlier "no reservations" episodes. It's a subtle but confident attitude - one that says I understand you like things a certain way, but trust us. For any diners willing to accept those terms, they will be greatly rewarded.

The key to eating here for dinner without waiting is to get there before the crowd which is before 6pm. After that there's most likely a wait outside the restaurant. There are plenty of shops for you to window shop while you wait. Note they do charge 20% automatically with 6 or more in your group.

The bluefin lovers roll was surprisingly my least favorite - I had the highest expectations for this roll due to the seared bluefin tuna and the black truffle, but we felt like it ended up being too heavy and too much. I think it would've been better if it were just the bluefin tuna with truffle on top as sashimi, without the rice/roll part, but just my opinion. Portions were very generous with thick cuts of fish and prices were reasonable. Overall I'd recommend this restaurant for solid sushi!

There were other tea light candles underneath and if the other ones lit up, it might've actually did something. If I could, I would've lit them all up since I prefer my food hot. Otherwise, these hot plates are pure aesthetic, near zero function.

(tbh i love them all). you'd think this bowl would be $80, but it's only $55. a steallllll! my favorite roll to order is the double toro roll. the toro on top, salmon belly and mango in the middle.. they just compliment each other so well the mango cuts into the fattiness of both fish to create a great balance. two excellent cuts of fish for $18 is such a great deal too.

    Tokie's Japanese Cuisine has been one of my go-to spots for years, even back when they were in…read moreFoster City. No matter what you order, you really can't go wrong--everything on the menu is consistently amazing. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, which makes every visit feel like you're coming back home. Diane and Victor are incredible hosts and truly make the experience special. I've known them for a long time, and Victor never fails to greet me with a shot of sake--something I always look forward to every time I walk in. Their rolls are absolutely to die for, but as someone who appreciates traditional Japanese flavors, I always find myself going back to the sashimi. It's fresh, clean, and really lets the natural flavors shine. If you're looking for great food, great vibes, and even better people, this place is it.

    Tokie, what happened?? Thursday night, around 6 pm. No line got a table quick. In front of…read morerestaurant, only thing is when new people came in the rush of cold air , forcing us to keep the jackets on. They did move us to a table closer in , without asking to be changed. Ordered the deep fried oysters, $11. Got three small oysters and tartare sauce. Not worth getting, my kids food came out because they ordered cooked food, katsu and grilled salmon. The problem was the restaurant was not that busy . Two sushi people. My kids had finished eating and my food or my wife's dinner had not come out . Not that it was complicated. A tokie special roll and another basic roll off the menu. They didn't even have to cook it! I am so disappointed. Overall probably stick to cooked food if you Don't want to eat after everyone is done eating. ‍. Bang for the buck not so much anymore.
