OH MY GOD! What an experience! Every bite a journey in flavor ! Every flavor a trip to heaven. Looking the chef in the eye and bowing to him was an honor. You MUST come here and have this experience if you love sushi! We are giving 5 stars HOWEVER I

No huge sign outside so it's kind of hidden in downtown San Mateo. There's a parking lot right across, so parking wasn't too hard to find. Inside seats 8 people so it's pretty intimate. The chef is usually pretty concentrated dur

Not the best restaurant I have been to, but Michelin star-worthy. Some highlights: a lot of food, really good flavors, textures can be weird at times Some downside: dessert flan was subpar, tamago was underdone, no togo boxes (I stuffed myself to

Very traditional Japanese omakase each course carefully curated, prepared and served by Chef Yoshizumi - every item was super tasty fresh and unique. Mackerel is my absolute favorite type of fish and I was delighted with at least 3 mackerel items eac

Having went to a couple of top sushi omakase in Tokyo such as Harutaka, Yoshizumi would be ranked in the top 20 even in Tokyo. Loved the salt and vinegar balance in the Shari and how the rice breaks apart in your mouth, though as a personal preferenc

I came here for my birthday! My husband took care of the booking (bless him!). From what he tells me, reservations are a little tricky as they are only open every Wednesday at 9pm for the next 2 weeks, and sometimes returning guests may get special p

Some truly spectacular pieces like the monkfish liver, the snapper and the sardines although the chawanmushi was a miss and the rice fell apart in a few of my nigiri pieces.

When you make a rez here, the chef makes it known that there are no frills, and I love that! My fiancé and I are well versed in the omakase realm and we were very impressed by the fish selection and the chef's craft. I think it's important to note t
Sushi Yoshizumi is my favorite restaurant in the Bay Area.
Akira Yoshizumi executes edomae sushi at a high level and it's just delicious. I really love tasting what's in season (from Japan). Watching chef prepare the dishes is a cool show, especially seeing the precision, skill, and care he exhibits. Lovel

The Omasake is incredible: fresh and delicious taste some I never try before like Bonito but it's so great even the price is expensive but it's worth to try one in life time Why not ? Service is only two people : one Chef and one Server but I think
A chef who cares about his food and customers.
I had one of this tasting menus and he served two different uni's and they both tasted different. Everything was perfect
I think the dishes are better than the sushi just IMO.
The rolls are extremely tasty. Temp and vinegar well balanced to elevate fish taste! However, the sushi rice is loose and little bit less warm and less vinegar, which I just couldn't taste good. The materials for tuna are not good for a Michelin star

don't need to doubt - the best sushi omakase place in the bay area, totally worth the price. This is so far the only one that I could feel the difference between $200 ish omakase vs. $300+. fish are very seasonal and fresh. each courses are well cons

As someone who doesn't eat omakase that often, here's my honest review: there were things I loved and things I didn't like as much, but it's worth it for the overall experience. Reservations are released every Wednesday at 9pm for bookings two weeks

Reservations are a bit easier to get now, but still recommend checking tock when they open up at 10pm. 8 person sushi bar with two seatings (5pm and 8pm). Dinner takes approximately 2.5 hrs. Make sure you have the address as there is no door sign wi

This nondescript downtown San Mateo restaurant is unequivocally the best sushi restaurant in the Bay Area. It's a 20-plus-course, two-hour meditative experience that impresses with the subtlety of intricate flavors. Each piece builds upon the last.

What an incredible experience at Sushi Yoshizumi! I very luckily was able to make a reservation here for my fiancé's birthday. It is a very intimate seating, with a total of 8 customers per seating, two seatings per night. My fiancé opted in for
Pricey but so very good and worth.
Definitely elevated our omakase experience as every piece of fish was incredibly good and well prepared, yet so simple. My highlights were the bonito, octopus, snapper, and the tamago, but everything was delicious. Even the ginger on the side was uni
Incredible Edomae style omakase.
Best selection and quality of fish in the Bay Area (possible all of US too). Family owned and run, very cozy and intimate (only 8 seats per seating). Great selection of sakes to pair (recommend the mini pairing). Very good experience, very pricey but

This is definitely the best and most authentic sushi we have had outside of Japan. The omakase was amazing. We were served 20+ items. The service was perfect. All staff were friendly. Ingredients were extremely fresh. The chef had everything prepared
Absolutely worth the price.
The entire restaurant is pretty small, I think it only seats 8 people. The chef makes everything right in front of you and everything is incredibly fresh. You get a few courses before moving onto the sushi, and we got 12 different sushi dishes and 10

The first dinning experience 3 years ago was excellent.
Every fish tasted excellent. Most impressive dish was monk fish liver pate. So soft and smooth. Chef is very skilled! The 2nd and 3rd visits were good but no thrill. Maybe it's the seasonal fish (summer) that did not suit my taste.

Wow. The most amazing edomae style sushi you can find. The chef is so impressive and runs the entire restaurant by himself. It is authentic and a more traditional omakase - my favorite. The pictures speak for itself. Sushi Yoshizumi is a must try. Th
Connect with users posting reservations for Sushi Yoshizumi San Mateo
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Sushi Yoshizumi San Mateo. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sushi Yoshizumi San Mateo at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sushi Yoshizumi San Mateo page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Sushi Yoshizumi San Mateo to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sushi Yoshizumi San Mateo!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
