If you are looking for the best sushi in Bay Area, look no further. We have been to several different omakase restaurants where the sushi chef decides what to serve you in the Bay Area and yoshizumi is the best among all. ...
Highly skilled chef working with the best produce. Difficult to get a reservation, but worth the effort. Cod stomach and Monk fish liver were new to me and highlights of the evening.
Easily the best sushi Ive ever had. Subtle flavors perfectly complementing each other coming together for each course. Seeing Chef Yoshis mastery up close behind the counter is just another perk of eating here. Reservations are tough, prices are high but the effort and cost are absolutely worth it.
I felt like I tasted the spectrum of the sea best sushi in my life. Favorite was the ootoro!! Chawanmushi was unique and yummy with ultra generous crab servings. Tasted Firefly squid, seared barracuda, uni, black cod etc. The dessert was a silky sake pudding. ...
True Edomae sushi restaurant. No Fusion here. Just in season seafood. No A5 beef either. Only 8 seats and they only open reservations every 2 weeks. Make sure you have the street number of the restaurant because you will not find a sign ...
Its the best authentic sushi place I have ever visited, not only in bay area or US. The food is super delicious without any doubt, and has a unique taste comparing to the other sushi places due to the way they prepare the fish. I also love how the chef make and introduce his food with tremendous passion.
