The perfect blend of truffle and sushi. Every fish is melt in your mouth fresh or cooked to perfection. I’m amazed at the quality of fish for such an affordable price. Will definitely be returning for more.

We had an incredible Omakase experience! Sitting at the sushi bar, we had the privilege of witnessing Chef Yamato’s masterful craftsmanship as he prepared our sushi. He was attentive and considerate, taking the time to introduce us to various types of fish and ingredients before serving them. We were even asked for our feedback after trying each piece, which added a personalized touch to the experience.

Phenomenal sushi omakase experience at Sushi Maruyama. Each of the pieces of sashimi had such different flavor and texture, it was like an orchestra performing in my mouth. The service was very kind and warm, explaining all the different types of fish and recommending whether or not to add more sauce.

Absolutely outstanding Japanese sushi restaurant! Be sure to call in for a reservation, and be prepared for an authentic Japanese sushi experience. The sushi menu is hand written, and changes daily. I highly recommend the chawan mushi- perfectly steamed steam with small pieces of crab, scallops, and fish. Homemade rich and creamy tofu- texture like cream cheese. Blue fin tuna carpaccio with truffles- sashimi cuts Smokey flavor of white truffle. Last appetizer: Japanese eggplant with miso: perfectly grilled, delicious sauce.

Good sushi place in downtown San Mateo that we’ve been wanting to try for a while now. Reservations are hard to come by and we had to go for the 1st seating at 5 pm. Standard is about the same level as Sushi Sam’s on 3rd street and among the best (non Michelin) in the Bay Area. We had the omakase and assorted nigiri. Good mix of sushi and cooked food. Would definitely return.

The quality of the fish is terrific, but you have to expect very small portion sizes; we’ve found much better value per dollar at Sushi Sam’s a couple blocks away. We came here for an anniversary, and left hungry even after $184 (subtotal) of fish. The $22 miso cod was buttery and sweet and savory, delightfully seared – but again was tiny. Seemed sized for 1. Same with all their other dishes. Wasabi marinated octopus appetizer came in a small bowl just a bit larger than a teacup.

If there was ever a time to gatekeep a restaurant, this would be both the time and place.

Sushi Maruyama is an authentic Japanese sushi joint and not the funky American style where they stuff it with cream cheese or douse it in sauces. This place offers the traditional rolls, sashimi, and more. The seafood is high quality with great sake pairing. They have a large menu with daily specials such as omakase; this is where the chef provides a tailored nigiri meal based on seasonality and availability. It was $49 for 8 pieces, not bad at all!
