Sushi Sam's Edomata San Mateo Reviews from The Last Year
This place is a cut above the rest, a 10/10.
I usually hate raw fish and just prefer the cooked/friend rolls, but this place is one where I will eat whatever they serve.
Food was Amazing , service was a little slow though .
Worth try . Reserve in advance .
I recently visited Sushi Sam's Edomata in San Mateo to
I recently visited Sushi Sam's Edomata in San Mateo to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was an unforgettable dining experience. Even though we had a reservation, we faced a slight wait due to the bustling nature of the restaurant, reflecting its popularity. Attempting to get bar seating for our group of four proved challenging given the crowd, but it was a small hiccup in an otherwise fantastic evening. The atmosphere at Sushi Sam's is vibrant yet intimate. Despite its small size and busy environment, the space is well managed, ensuring it never feels cramped. The chefs, including Sam himself, add to the lively atmosphere. They were engaging and fun, even exchanging rounds of beers with us, which added a personal touch to our celebration. The service was exceptional, particularly from Calvin, a seasoned server who expertly guided us through the seasonal menu. His detailed explanations of each fish and thoughtful travel tips for our friend's upcoming trip to Japan were highlights of our service experience. The food at Sushi Sam's is nothing short of amazing. We opted for the omakase, and every dish was a hit. The sushi boasted a perfect rice-to-fish ratio, with each piece of fish being soft, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The steamed egg was particularly memorable--earning the chef's kiss from me and being the highlight of the night. Sushi Sam's thrives on its seasonal menu, offering different experiences with each visit, which I find incredibly appealing. This dynamism, combined with stellar service and exquisite food, makes Sushi Sam's Edomata a must-visit for sushi lovers and anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience in San Mateo.
Went back after 9 years.
We just moved back to the Bay Area. This used to be our favorite go to for sushi. Took my Mom and it was not as good as before. Host was not nice nor welcoming when taking our name for the waiting list. Waitress barely spoke to us but magically became chatty and nice when she brought the bill. We will not go back. So many other sushi restaurants that appreciate the business and are nice to the customers.
Sushi Sam's doesn't need another 5* review but this has
Sushi Sam's doesn't need another 5* review but this has been our favorite sushi spot in the entire Bay Area for more than a decade - haven't found a better combination of quality, flavor, and price - which is why it's so popular and worth the long waits! The seasoning really compliments the nigiri. Stand-outs for us include the nigiri -- seared toro, white salmon (w/ scallions), spicy scallop (w/ seaweed salad), kani salad -- and we usually throw in a few California rolls and other items. Sushi Sam's -- you're a legend!
Food is good.
Service is curt. I arrived at 5:25 and told they were booked until 8pm. Plenty of empty tables inside. On a Tuesday. It's not the kind of place you want to linger over dinner as it's kind of funky inside. Not worth it. That said, the food really "is" good...if you want to wait hours outside and sit in a funky environment. One star for customer service, one for food for total of 2.
5/5 for all categories.
This place was fast, high quality, and affordable. I stopped here for a quick bite before dropping off my mom at the airport and we were in and out in 20 mins. Highly recommend this spot and will return!
Every roll was high quality and perfect! Wagyu roll, toro
Every roll was high quality and perfect! Wagyu roll, toro roll, blue shrimp, Japanese butterfish. We ordered dessert lemon tart which was amazing but def a smaller portion. Very kind staff and the chefs seem like they take joy in what they do. You can feel that joy and love in the food! Can't wait to try tiramisu next time! they were out.
Great sushi.
Probably would have gotten 5 stars if folks hadn't talked it up so much. It's good, but maybe the waiting time isn't congruent with the taste? Service was a bit slow, yet they are very busy. Will definitely drop in again if the line isn't long. :)
This is the best affordable sushi restaurant in San Mateo!
This is the best affordable sushi restaurant in San Mateo! The owner and workers are super friendly and their service is impeccable! The wait can get long here so I recommend coming at non-peak hours or making a reservation (especially for larger parties). Our favorites are the salmon and amaebi nigiris! Their fish is fresh and delicious! We also love ordering the caterpillar roll and tempura udon. Green tea is complimentary and it pairs perfectly with the sushi.
Busy and popular restaurant.
I came right at opening and there was a line and they were full in the first 30 minutes. Inside is a typical Japanese decor. The staff are efficient in dealing with a busy restaurant. We tried a bento box, a sushi meal and a rainbow roll. Everything was fresh and delicious. I recommend the bento box so that you can get multiple items. Excellent restaurant and I can see why it's one of the best in the area.
Came at 8pm on a weekday and we were lucky there was no
Came at 8pm on a weekday and we were lucky there was no wait. Ordered a bunch of different things but my favorite were the hamachi nigiri and the oysters. We also got the super sam special, which is just the sam special but with crab. Yummy high quality sushi for a very reasonable price - definitely will be back again!
Super lowkey and delicious sushi spot! Sushi Sam's is a
Super lowkey and delicious sushi spot! Sushi Sam's is a casual spot, but they offer awesome sushi at a reasonable price. I came here and ordered a variety of sushi. My favorites were the blue shrimp, toro, and scallops. They have a good selection of rolls as well, the dragon roll came in really big pieces. All the selections were so fresh and each order came in two pieces so it was great to share. I also enjoyed their dessert a lot! I got a white miso parfait but it was actually like an ice cream

Visited this spot on a weekday and experienced a lengthy wait. Booking a reservation in advance would be a good idea. Despite the busy servers, they managed well, and the had an extensive array of options. An excellent choice for sushi lovers. Definitely a cute spot for a date night.
Excellent sushi.
Taking off a star just because it was impossible to get a reservation by phone - in person is the way to go. Make your next reservation while you're in the restaurant. Also they then made us wait a long time after our reservation time, 30-45 minutes, to let the other group finish. No pager system so we waited around outside in the cold and checked every few minutes. I'm not sure it was *that* good to warrant the trouble, but I would go again only if we had nothing else planned, which unfortunately was not the case for this first time, which made the whole experience very stressful. But I appreciated the staff trying their best and enjoyed the food once it finally came.
The most consistent quality sushi at a fair price period.
Try the Omakase, Battera, California special
They clearly don't need your business but for whatever
They clearly don't need your business but for whatever reasons prefer to WASTE YOUR TIME under pretense that they do take-out. I called every 1 to 2 of minutes for take-out starting at 430p. Someone finally picked up at 448p only to leave the phone off the hook. I can hear the in the background a man asking a woman in Cantonese "are you going to take that call?" She laughed then he laughed. After 2 minutes I hung up. Called back and at 451p she picked up and said "um let me check..." and within 5 seconds said "we're actually at capacity for take-out orders" DON'T BOTHER. This has been going on since the pandemic and reported by multiple other people so it's highly likely the owner is aware.
Pricey but delicious! The fish is probably the freshest
Pricey but delicious! The fish is probably the freshest I've had in the area. The service was good. I tried uni for the first time here and am glad it was a good experience. Would definitely come back!
Great Experience!
We’e heard about this place and were pleased to have the opportunity to visit. I understand that Sam isn’t there anymore but we had a great experience, nonetheless. We each ordered the omakase and a few other nigiri from the day’s specials. I also ordered the chicken karaage and the miso soup with clams. The omakase was mostly from the specials menu and included the day’s maguro and butterfish. These were melt-in-your-mouth delicious quality. The miso soup was perfectly flavored. We added a beer each as well. Oh, we tried the almond tofu desert which is not to be missed! The hojicha tiramisu was also delicous and my son loved the custard pudding. The server was attentive and very knowledgeable about the fish. We loved our time there!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
