For the price, less than 30 dollars for a sashimi set AND a whole sushi roll (plus salad and miso soup) seemed unreal. The cuts for the sashimi set were really generous. Tuna sashimi isn't usually my favorite, especially when it's on the cheaper end, but I was genuinely surprised how good it was. The presentation for the Hamachi Jalapeño was super pretty and although I personally dont think the hot sauce used with it matched all the flavors of the dish super well, it was still delicious. Quite atmosphere so great if you want to enjoy conversating. Will come back again for sure!

My first time ordering from this spot. Ever since my go to sushi restaurant closed, I've been on…read morethe hunt for a new one close by. I just ordered something simple since I just wanted to get a feel for the place, and I ordered California rolls, gyoza and miso soup. The California rolls weren't bad but I can't say they were good either. I was hungry so I ate most of them anyway. But I was not impressed and I wouldn't order them again. The gyoza was delicious. No complaints. The miso soup was cold and inedible. I didn't bother eating it. All in all, I would not order from this place again if I'm being honest. Going to keep searching for a sushi place where I enjoy everything I order.

I was really hoping this would be a *the* place to go to if I wanted to treat myself to omakase without needing to make a trip. At $290 pp, I felt like the menu is worth it for the ingredients but the chef wasn't always able to execute properly. The menu is quite interesting as you get some unique pieces like octopus mouth, but when we had it, it felt a bit chewy. But overall, the menu felt special and there were a lot of bites we enjoyed! Most omakases follow a usual rhythm, and I was definitely surprised here as some pieces were less predictable. We got the five sake sampler and all the sakes were very good! I wish it was more of a pairing style though. I think it would have elevated the experience more if the waiter had shared what kind of bites each sake goes well with. The atmosphere was beautiful and calming - it's what I would expect at an omakase. The service was good but there were times when the waitress collected my plates while I was mid-bite. WOULD I COME HERE AGAIN? If I want a fancy omakase place, I think I would try another place. I still enjoyed my experience but am curious to try other places!!

Reservations were simple thru Tock and requires a $150 down payment per person to book. The venue is located in downtown Mountain View next to Steins. It is a 20 course meal with a diverse range of seafood. The meal was delightful. It was my first time having a dry aged tuna , and I was nervous about it but it was delicious. There were other options like octopus and conch, generally I don't go for those things , but they prepared it really well. All the items were very tasty. My favorite item was the uni with king crab. The Ankimo dish was amazing , extremely fresh and unlike what I've had had other restaurants. We did ask for more wasabi since it didn't seem spicy enough for our taste. They also ask if you'd like to have less rice option as well. By the end of the meal , we were still slightly hungry so we stopped by for dessert at Maison Alyze after.

We ordered several sashimi dinner combos, and I was really disappointed with the quality of the fish. The toro especially did not taste or look like the level of quality I would expect for the price. When you're paying a premium for sashimi and toro, freshness and quality should really stand out, and this time they simply didn't. On a positive note, the service was good and the staff was attentive. I just wish the quality of the food matched the prices and the experience I remembered from previous visits.

I love this place because it serves two of my favorite comfort foods--sushi and ramen! They hit perfectly every time. I always leave happy.

He creates a welcoming experience and takes the time to engage with every customer, building a genuine connection--that's always been my takeaway.

According to our friend an ever-changing row of exciting sounding but new restaurants, But, Just outside of the main Sunnyvale walk you can find Rokko the Japanese restaurant where we dined, it's just around the corner from the Main Street, next to the adjacent the parking lot. This was our second choice as we couldn't get reservations last minute on a Saturday at Gochi where we I'm sure we go next time for a completely different look of Japanese food. We were very happy to report that Rokko was an excellent choice. Where Gochi sounded trendy. Rokko was a different style, a traditional family style restaurant, and after tasting the food, I found myself reminiscing about how there were so many Japanese restaurants in SoCal at one time, but none now, that we loved, they were similar to Rokko for just a casual night out. When I tasted their food at Rokko it brought back those memories and i realized how I missed this type of casual family style Japanese restaurant. Rokko seated us promptly, service great food delicious and abundant. Nice portions tempura not greasy and with a just the right crunch. Loved the Daikon oroshi and ginger an important detail that most Japanese restaurants forget to add. It's this necessary detail that complements the tempura sauce & adds just the right touch to make it delicious and familiar. Enjoyed a nice evening with excellent service, food and company.

And it seems to get full fast here. It's a very roomy izakaya feel. The prices aren't too bad for what you're getting. We were really full after an okonomiyaki and a two piece bento. Slight quality control concerns, unsure if that's just due to them being packed or if it's standard affair. They bring everything out as it's done Ok, so about the food, the okonomiyaki is spot on. They purchased a license from Fugetsu to serve their okonomiyaki. We got the seafood one and it was excellent, all parts were delicious but for me, the squid is what stood out. Very smoky but not overcooked. There's like two pieces of scallop. And it comes thick. The bento box, the ribeye has the BBQ tastes kind of like a Vietnamese BBQ pork chop. But it was tender and cooked to medium. The chicken kaarage was crisp too, just wish there was dipping sauce for it. The salad was refreshing. The miso soup wasn't too salty at all. The tempura was crispy but the issue was that it wasn't allowed to rest on a rack or something and it ended up oily on the inside. I'd personally skip on it, unless you don't mind oily and/or you're going when it's not too busy.

However, my boyfriend was not a fan of pork belly and seafood, so he was wary to try any okonomiyaki. He finally chose to try their steak rice bowl, because there is no way you can go wrong with steak and rice, right? Well, to our surprise, his choice turned out to be his worst meal he ever paid for. The rice was not hot enough, or I could say, room temperature. There were a bunch of raw white onions and pickles in it, I guess they were the culprit for the room temperature rice. The onion and pickle smell and taste were just too strong that we could barely had any taste of the rice and the steak themselves. Basically, we felt like we were biting a whole white onion fresh from the grocery bag. We also ordered gyoza and chicken karaage, which I think they were frozen and reheated in microwave. The chicken meat was rubbery and tasteless. We did not finish any of them and didn't even want to pack the leftover to-go. Service was okay. We were seated right away but waited for a while to make an order. We didn't really have a designated server. The one that seated us and took our order was really knowledgable in terms of giving recommendation. But we didn't see him again after that, and some other servers helped us during our dine-in.

It's on the smaller side for a restaurant (maybe seats 30?), making it a super cute spot for date night. We opted for the 17 course omakase and it did not disappoint. The timing of each course was perfect. Even though the chef was also making nigiri for a table of 4, my husband and I never had to wait very long between each piece. One of our most memorable bites was the A5 wagyu. It's grilled on a Japanese charcoal which added a nice smokey flavor to the juicy pieces of wagyu. The kisu tempura was also very delicious and as always, the nigiri's were *chefs kiss*. Each piece of nigiri was perfectly seasoned and incredibly well balanced. If you haven't tried Hiroshi yet, you're definitely missing out. Highly recommend trying Hiroshi at least once if you like omakase. My husband and I are already looking forward to our next visit.
