Sushi Maruyama

Excellent meal here. The miso sea bass was delicious, and the nigiri in the seasonal omakase was great. Wagyu nigiri was a standout. Our waitress/server was fantastic also! one of the best sushi/omakases in san mateo in my opinion! pricing is absolutely reasonable too.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here, and it was absolutely incredible. This is one of our favorite spots and we come back often. The $63 omakase is hands down one of the best deals around. Every course is thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and consistently delicious. We also love adding a few of the daily special nigiri. They’re always ultra fresh and seriously impressive. Do yourself a favor and start with the Wagyu tacos. They’re an absolute must order and set the tone for an amazing meal. The service is just as outstanding as the food. The menu evolves constantly based on what’s freshest, so definitely ask your server for recommendations. They will guide you to some unforgettable bites. Pro tip: Make a reservation in advance. They are almost always fully booked

First, the good: Sushi was very good quality. The fish was fresh, and the way they presented their omakase set (which is pretty good value @63$ for 8 pieces) was creative and tasty. Highlights were the bluefin tuna with truffle/caviar, and the ora king salmon with truffle. Next, the less good: We felt rushed during our time here. We were one of the only people in the restaurant at the time, but the chef continued looking at our dishes between each course, and immediately moved us to the next course as we picked up each piece of sushi. There also wasn’t any introduction to each course, so I had to keep up myself/ask the chef. For the 8 courses (plus the extra hand roll and soup we got), our dining time was ~35 minutes, which felt a bit fast. The lack of introduction to dishes is what br

Amazing spot!! Very affordable and fresh omakase with a huge selection of seafood. The menu is always changing but I loooved the ankimo and barracuda here, which are rarer dishes to find in the US. It’s always packed so make sure you make a reservation ahead of time.

The Omakase is always great there, my favorite from the 8 course was the anago. They always update the menu based on seasonal availability of the fish, so its very good. It’s more of an eclectic style of sushi but still enjoyable if that is your style. We also had these fried greeneyed fishes that were stellar. They were incredibly well seasoned and perfectly crispy. The wagyu-tacos are also a must get everytime I go. I got a snow crab handroll that wasn’t quite what I expected but the salmon truffle handroll is amazing. We got the green tea ice cream for dessert and they also gave us a yuzu cheesecake that was delicious. It somehow tasted like passionfruit and yuzu. I’d go back again for that cheesecake!
