Amami Sushi in San Bruno

Staying here from Minnesota this week, and while we have plenty of sushi restaurants in Minnesota, I suspect that California has better places than we do. This place was close to our hotel and Google maps recommended it highly. We were greeted warmly upon coming in, and the service was very fast.The sushi is the star here! Very fresh and buttery cuts of fish here and well presented. They use real wasabi here too, something Im not used to back home. My partner is not a sushi fan so he had salmon teriyaki. It was also delicious.The prices here are very reasonable.I definitely recommend this place. I will be dreaming about it when I get back to Minnesota.

Amami sushi is my go to place whenever I’m craving sushi. Their quality is always consistent and I have not been disappointed! I always order the chirashi bowl and the fish is always so fresh and buttery. I don’t know what wasabi they use but it makes a big difference from the usual dry wasabi used at other sushi places. The portion size is also pretty good and the service is excellent. Would highly recommend!

What a great find near SFO, the fish was fresh and wow very plentiful ratio of fish to rice! The omakase actually felt enough food which is unusual. Can’t wait to come back and try more things.

Had one of the best sushi meals in a very long time. Dont let the quaint cozy setting deter you from the amazing sushi and sashimi. Hamachi kama was a good portion, warm and flavorful ($12.50). The medium sashimi ($40) was worth every penny as it was a great portion and so tender and fresh. Ordered the seared chu toro with uni ($15) off the specials board and was perfectly seared and fresh. Service was very attentive. Will definitely be back regularly.

The sushi quality was top notch. They served barley tea when we were seated. Even the picked ginger was delicious.

Delicious take out, amazingly priced omakase $40 for takeout. The variety is great, the quality is high and i would eat it everyday if I could! They even sell sake and other appetizers to enjoy with your “treat-yoself” meal so go out and get some! Also the people are very friendly!

Quick and kind service. Tempura was nicely fried. Chicken katsu was soggy. Sushi deluxe had 7 of 9 good pieces of nigiri.

Great service that was very attentive on a Friday evening around 5 pm. Everything we ate was super fresh and tasty. The best was the omakase, and second best was then California rolls. Next time, I’ll probably order the exact same things!

This was my 7th time going -- amazingly fresh fish, generous cuts, and fast service. Price is reasonable given the quality, but not exactly a cheap place to go to often.The one major downside is the wait (try to get there early, even with a reservation).

Suggest making a reservation before coming. Otherwise be ready to wait 1.5hrs + for seating.Sushis were fresh and tasty. Not fishy unlike some other sushi restaurants.I let my pictures do the talking. Enjoy!
