Sushi Maruyama - Sushi restaurant in San Mateo - 279 Baldwin Ave, USA

The sushi is outstanding and really fresh and perfect consistency. The rolls are average so stick to the sushi and your meal will be great! Service was problematic in that the forgot the three rolls from our order and we waited 20 minutes more once the figured their error. They then ran out of one of our items so stated that they would give us another roll complementary! But when the check, there it was!! They were embarrassed and changed it and then comped us a dessert and edamame. They were very nice just a bit disorganized. We’d go again but just for the nikiri sushi. Not cheap but the quality is great.

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. Watching each dish being presented felt like observing a work of art. The attention to detail and presentation were exceptional, providing not only a feast for the taste buds but also a visual delight. The cozy ambiance of the space, coupled with the excellent music selection, enhanced our overall enjoyment. Moreover, the staff exhibited genuine passion and kindness, further elevating our dining experience. Without a doubt, I am already looking forward to revisit this place.

Best sushi I’ve ever had! I’ve been eating Sushi since 1965! Must have r reservations. It’s wild straight from Japan. Make sure you try the eggplant.!

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. The appetizers and sharing plates were delicious as well. I've never had a salmon skin salad before, and let me tell you that is now my favorite kind of salad. The tofu was also amazing. Shout out to our local friends who recommended this place! I'd definitely return.

Fabulous spot with fantastic service! The atmosphere was lively, yet intimate on a Friday evening. Our servers were super accommodating and even sent us some special dessert after we told them we were celebrating an anniversary! Only thing to note is parking is very difficult in the area - I spent over 15 min looking and had to park a walk away. We got plates in addition to the omakase. My favorite dishes that we tried: - Burdock root French fries: very fun take on burdock root, excellent crisp! - Homemade tofu: we tried it hot and cold, I personally preferred it hot as it accentuated the soy flavor, but cold was very interesting w a cream cheese- like texture - marinated octopus: good flavor and texture! A nice dish to start with

Good as always. Flew all the way to SF for friend’s wedding and this is the second priority on my list. Love love the black cod

Small but neat place for authentic sushi. Welcoming and attentive staff. Their omakase is very reasonably priced and tastes amazing!
