“ Loved the whole dining experience. The Omakase Nigiri started with a Prawn Miso Soup, followed by fresh and well-prepared sushi. We had two rolls together with a bottle of warm Sake as well. ”
“ A small little high class Sushi place. You feel like I'm Tokyo in a Sushi bar. The quality is great and the lady in the service is very friendly and gave us the right direction to order the best things for us. We will be back for sure. Even the price is really good. We paid 95 for 2 rolls, 1 salmon dish, 2 miso soups, edamame and tea for both of us. ”
“ This is probably the best Japanese restaurant in Menlo Park. Everything is authentic, classy and delicious. They have fresh specials everyday. The hotate is great! The service was good despite that they had one lady doing everything. She was bussing tables, taking orders, the cashier and the food runner; yet, she was patient and never showed any stress. We also recommend the omakase sushi. Highly recommend! ”
“ I made a reservation here for a team dinner and the service was very good. The food itself was pretty good (not mind blowing), the vibes were good, and the servers were very nice and accommodating. Always proactive in refilling tea and water. Very nicely offered an extra scallop in our appetizer since we had 7 people and there would it be 6 pieces in 2 orders. Omakase was not super expensive but was good. She explained each of the fish to us and it was placed in a recommended eating order from light to rich. Also ordered a few rolls and my favorites were the dragon and crazy rolls. Toro sashimi was good too. Overall definitely a good place for team dinners since the company is paying anyway. ”
“ We’ve been coming to Kyosho for the last 2 years, and it is a family favorite. There’s something here for everyone, and the prices are extremely reasonable. This time, we ordered bincho bites, gyoza, green dragon roll, Kyosho roll, lobster risotto, and unagi pot. Everything was delicious!! We especially recommend the green dragon, kyosho, and unagi pot!! Go try this! ”
“ Chefs inside really understand what is a good Japanese food. The mustard is freshly ground, and the soy sauce is also specially added with sake and whiskey. But in fact, the sushi and sashimi produced by the chef have been seasoned and slightly added with mustard, so they can be eaten directly, and they are super delicious. Unlike other popular Japanese restaurants, many of its dishes are exclusively created. What you think is eel rice is actually eel clay pot rice, juicy, and there is also burnt rice! Can you believe that ordinary edamame is actually scooped with truffles? Even sea urchins, I ate three different ways in one meal. Every taste is top-notch. Simple wagyu udon, in fact, every grain of wagyu is the essence, crispy on the outside and has the delicate and juicy taste of wagyu itself. According to the chef, each piece of wagyu has Japanese birth certificate to ensure the authenticity of the source, and I am too lazy to count how many A's there are. The soup base is also homemade pork bone soup, and no pre-made soup bags are used. ”
“ This restaurant is worthy of a Michelin star. I always get the omakase here, which is a great value for the quality and craftsmanship of the food. On weekends it's only 60 for 10 pieces, but for the ultimate dining experience you'll want to make a reservation for the 10 course omakase chef's special for 200. It requires a minimum of two weeks notice and is well worth the wait. They also have a really incredible sake selection, which is also worth the splurge. It's a tiny restaurant, and incredibly popular so plan your visit accordingly! ”
“ I liked this Japanese place . Everything was absolutely fresh and tasty. I enjoyed a delicious Nigiri Combination, and my husband had the Salmon Misoyaki. The only small issue for my husband was the portion size, which was about half of the regular amount. ”
