This is a pleasant small room in an undistinguished Safeway mini mall off Sand Hill Road. The setting is fine for what it is, but what it is is undistinguished, parked cars in the foregound, Shell station etc... The kaiseki meal is ~ $100 per person; with modest sake pairings at $70 (nothing extravagant nor particularly memorable), tax and automatic gratuity, for two, over $400. There was a good variety of tastes and concepts, and some exotica that can make Kaiseki in the US a memorable experience. But while the previous restaurant in this venue (Kaygetsu) was memorable, I found this meal only really memorable for its high price. It succeeded with a "fried" eggplant and small vegetables course. The cold sesame Tofu starter was only fair. The Sashimi was not the freshest, including Octopus that did not taste too good. A $22 sushi upgrade included four pieces one of which was beef and one of which was salmon roe, and was there a reason why the salmon roe did not have the quail egg on top-- Did we miss the point? The meat course was mini table top hibachis on which we would grill our own small tenderloin pieces - Sorry, not what I wanted for ~ 1/6 of my $110. An earlier "treasure box" course included soft shell crab that tasted okay but I think had been fried a few hours earlier. Again, not the kind of precision one would expect at this level. A dessert of vanilla ice cream with black beans and matcha mochi did not work for me, only in part because the ice cream was more icy than creamy. There are many other choices of upscale Japanese dining in the area, perhaps not the full Kaiseki, but I have to say, a well known place in Palo Alto (with a Facebook connection) I feel would be a better place to spend $400 for two. And another place in Menlo Park that I review is another really good choice for Omikase. Mitsunobo is not a bad place, but unlikely I would return for Kaiseki and I would not recommend it above some other local choices.
