‎ ןıɥd ʍ. • March 10, 2022Asiago and pepper country bread is delicious. All the baked goods are worth the wait in line.

Priscila d. • June 29, 2017Chocolate chip is the best one for sure.

Nadia S. • August 2, 2019They’re famous for their tsukemen. Their ramen broth is just as good.

Andy W. • September 12, 2015Amazing omakase experience. I enjoyed it as much as Sukiyabashi Jiro. More old school than Kusakabe and way more intimate. Run and make a reservation!

Michael C. • March 20Spicy noodles had good flavor.

Andy W. • April 24, 2023Different type of ramen - oil based rather than soup based. The noodle is very al dente with a ton of bite. Worth trying.

Erika P. • August 8, 2019Matcha latte here is SO GOOD (and instagram worthy!) I got it less sweet(30%), no toppings (though it comes with toffee), and oat milk (they use the Califia Barista Oat Milk).

Phil S. • February 16, 2010I think this is the best restaurant in San Mateo for the price. Good food, good service; pricey but well worth it.

Andy W. • June 16, 2017Really good omakase at great value. The sushi rice and tamago are as good as Ju-ni's. Great place to go when you can't get into Sushi Yoshizumi

Jay M. • April 2, 2019Always busy on Fri/Sat; get there early to sign up. They will turn away customers if close to closing. Very tasty broth, affordable dishes, efficient service, waayyyyy better than Little Lamb!!

Varun N. • April 24, 2021My favorites are garlic veg and the curry chicken. Easily one of the best curries I have had.

Natasha F. • June 20, 2012After being a frequent patron for over 15 years, I have never been disappointed. Also, try the Anjou elixira on the new and improved cocktail menu. Great if you enjoy clean, sweet strawberry drinks.

Alfredo D. • March 11, 2019Everything is outstanding!! The ice creams and the beverages. Avocado ice cream is one of my recommendation.
