    If going for nigiri, ask what's fresh on the board. I've had some wonderful butterfish and kanpachi from the board in addition to the traditional nigiri selection.

    Excellent Sushi from real Japanese Sushi chefs. Be sure to check out the specials and get at least one of them. They are always something seasonal and special. this place is good for authentic Sushi.

    Love their sushi. We usually sit at the sushi bar so that we can watch the chefs and to meet other people sitting next to us. Makes for a very fun experience.

    Order lots of nigiri rather than Fuki Mori which is 8 nigiri they choose for you for $35. I only liked half of them. Sea urchin is good. Amaeba/sweet shrimp was alright but not too sweet/fresh

    Great food! Everything was good, from the edamame to the rolls. I especially liked the spicy tuna roll and the unagi avocado roll.

    The best sushi in the Bay Area. Period. Just ask the sushi chef to make you up whatever he wants. You won't be disappointed.

    Food was great although at a steeper price than most places for lunch. Depending on what is ordered (from set/box lunches), quantity varies. Service was ok

    Great sushi. Best in Palo Alto. Not downtown but it's slightly out of the way location makes it a fun getaway.

    Request the sushi bar. It's a great spot to talk to your chef directly and get some recommendations.

    Salmon marinade is exquisite. Can't go wrong with any of their sashimi items anyway.

    Try the triggerfish special, it's incredible. You don't need to waste your time with their spicy rolls, they usually under-deliver. Sashimi and chef specials are the way to got Read more

    The decor is beautiful but the quality of food was not as good as I expected. If you like traditional Japanese decor, this will be your place - but don't expect high quality food.
