Used to be Better – This used to be one of my favorite Jap. restaurant. However, after they received an TV award and expanded their restaurant, the food has become smaller in portion. For some reason, the fish's not as fresh as before... They used to have better rolls also... Anyway, the staff is still pretty good, and you don't have be tightly packed with other customers as you eat like before. However, if they want to compete in the Bay Area, they'll have to do better like before.
Fresh Fresh Fish! – I love going to this sushi restaurant. The fish is so fresh & the staff is very friendly. Wave at Sam behind the sushi bar. He knows how to say hello & goodbye in many different languages.
great lunch box specials! – sushi is great - must try California Special, Sam's Special and Hot Dog. Everything else is delicious - sukiyaki is very tasty. The daily lunchbox specials is a steal.
Inconsistency a trend? – My first visit was not breathtaking, but has been better since then. Based on other reviews, there seems to be a trend of inconsistency, whcih I've experienced myself. I've only tried two other places, but so far this is the best sushi I've had in the San Mateo/Foster City area. I've had better in SF, but at much higher prices. Note: I've only eaten take-out here.
One of the best sushi places in CA – I guess I'm just lucky but every time I've patronized this establishment I've had nothing but superior quality sushi. Very fresh. Very tasty. The only problem is that this place can be a madhouse during the dinner rush. It gets very crowded and loud. Would recommend going during off-peak times.
Okay Sushi in the Bay Area – Sushi Sam's, by far is one of the better sushi restaurants in the bay area. The sushi can be really fresh but there are some days when stale sushi has to be definitely chased by a lot of ginger and hot tea. I've tried a lot of sushi in the bay area and am still trying to find the best but so far nothing compares to Sasabune in L.A.
whats the hype? – i have NO idea. Not that fresh, not that great. I've had better at the todai. Small, crowded, loud and crappy service but at least with a smile.
If you like aged fish... – If you like aged fish, then this is the place for you. Each piece of sushi is carefully aged like cheese so that it bears little resemblance to sushi and sashimi in Japan. Better to drive to the city.
overrated. – Very average. Another chinese run sushi joint where no one can tell the difference. Sushi was simply average. Nothing special. Not worth a half hour wait.
