if they are looking for the best sushi in bay area, don't look further. we were in several different omakase restaurants (where the sushi cook decides what to use them) in the bay area and yoshizumi is the best among all. yoshizumi serves traditional edomae style sushi. he concentrates on the taste of the original taste of every fish, which is also the reason why we love this place so much. there are no fancy sauce and no fusion at all, but he chooses the best fish and everything they need is a simple salt/soya/friend made wasabi. this is a cozy and initiatives restaurant in the inner city of san mateo. it is easy to find parking on the road (we always park on the parking lot above the road)...
We booked this place ONE month ahead and it's totally worth to wait. I've heard that this place is hard to make a reservation, so we expected to have to wait a long time, so please be prepared for that. Yoshi sang is very nice and so patient, he knows well about all Nigiri, you may ask anything about Nigiri. All ingredients a very simple but fresh, all the cooked mothed contains the freshness of fish. This place is the best of the year for me.
best sushi in the usa we have dined so many anomkase with a michelin 3 star. No one else could have the same magic mix of taste and texture as chef yoshizumi. it is not about using the same formula of Kaviar/wagyu/uni/toro all other high quality omakase restaurants. chef yoshizumi transforms the “common” ingredients into something completely phenomenal! a true master!
Ordered online for takeout — Toro uni ikura box Kaisen new Chirashi box shared among 3 adults) The fish is very fresh and the flavored rice was good. If you don’t like your rice vinegary with flavor then this bento is not for you. I appreciate how there was no packets of soy sauce. I always end up trashing it. Meal highlight was the Uni (sea urchin), so good Book a table now

It's 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.
Easily the best sushi I've ever had. Subtle flavors perfectly complementing each other coming together for each course. Seeing Chef Yoshi's 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.
probably the best sushi in the bay. update: juli 2021 the indoor food back to yoshizumi, but with a reduced capacity. the sushi is still just as good. perfectly seasoned and warm rice and wonderful nato. the service was warm and attentive. really a real sushi lover place uncomplicated perfection.

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.
once in a life experience. by nyc and was to some really good omakase restaurants. yoshizumi sleeps them out of the water. every single piece sushi is spectacular. jealous of you bay area menschen!
