Reviews for Sushi Sam's Edomata in San Mateo, CA
A delicious mini omakase place with knowledgable staff that knows his sake very well and what is in season. They rotate their... menu seasonally, so you won't find the same nigiri offered all the time. Their menu is hyper-focused on quality sashimi andnigiri. There are other offerings like tempura udon and rolls, so I need to try them to see the complete picture of how wellthey do. Their core competencies is very well executed, but definitely, the rice could be a bit more compact to hold the fishbetter. Read more
If not the best, one of the best sushi I?ve had in the Bay. Insane value for money. Their omakase was superb and highly... recommended. Best sweet shrimp and dragon roll I?ve ever had. Definitely worth traveling half an hour to try. Attire casual orsmart casual. Tip: get the omakase and book beforehand. Read more
Sat down and was offered hot tea and water. Ordered many things (agedashi tofu, edamame, sashimi, nigiri, and some rolls) and... they all came out quickly. Everything was very fresh and delicious. The nigiri have wasabi in the rice as is tradition so if youdon't like wasabi please make note of that. Read more
It?s always a pleasure to dine in at sushi Sam. Quality sushis, fresh ingredients and affordable price. We highly recommend... Dragon roll, zuwakani special and Toro nigiri. Green tea tiramisu is a hit as well. Read more
We had the omakase and some appys. Overall was pretty good, some of the nigiri were not proportionate and frozen/cold, others... unique like the smoked fish, and squid was overcooked. Dessert was quite sweet for our tastes, but a nice touch to end it alloff. Service was amazing, we'll be back. Read more
Wow. 10/10 recommend. Got the omakase (was sort of hesitant because I wasn't prepared to) but it was definitely worth the... experience. You get all specialty fish, and it's incredibly fresh, HUGE pieces, well thought out flavors to compliment the fish.Service was good, and the green tea tiramisu was also great--creamy and not overpowering. Put your name down early (I waited 2hours on a Friday night at 6pm). There's a lot to see around the area though, so walkable round while you wait. Read more
Good value for the portion and quality offered. Their negiri is on the bigger side with thicker cuts and the fish is very fresh... and well flavored. The omakase will leave you full and happy. Make sure to come early or make reservations as it gets verycrowded. Read more
Super good nigiri sushi in San Mateo! We ordered the omakase and added 4 more pieces. The pieces were all really big and fresh.... The difference sauce that the chef used complemented each fish well. The waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. The vibe at therestaurant was casual and upbeat. Personal favourites are the sweet shrimp, blue shrimp, hamachi, and uni but honestlyeverything was superb. The only downside is they might run out of fish - we tried to order more hamachi after but was told itwas sold out. Can?t wait to come back in the future! Read more
