We had the Eighty Eight premium roll and we enjoyed it. I loved how the pine nuts complement the overall taste. The soy sauce was just a balance of sweet and salty, but the wasabi could improve, it was not as strong as I liked.We enjoyed the ramen, the chashu was tender and cooked to perfection. We’d come back again for sure to bring friends and relatives here to try this place.

I got the phoenix roll, mushroom hand roll and hamachi nigiri and they were all delicious. The fish tasted fresh and had a good texture, especially the hamachi nigiri. Nice atmosphere inside with friendly staff. Would recommend coming here for sushi!

Ramen is nice, but a bit salty at the end. The agadashi tofu is good. Tempura is also good. But they didnt serve us water after we order drinks. But overall experience is good.

Highly recommended!!Pros:-Clean modern decor-Excellent customer service and hospitality-Delicious food and variety-Super clean restroom-Comparable prices-Decent drink menu-Plenty of FREE parkingCons:-Only one: Not enough spicy ramen optionsGreat for family diner, a bite after work with coworkers, and date night. The staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we entered therestaurant. My waitstaff was knowledgeable about the menus and willing to offer additional spice when asked. Delicious sushi and ramen. The hot sake selection was pretty limited, but definitely yummy.Well definitely have to experience this menu again! Next time the combos for sure!

Absolutely great food! Nothing to say other than just come to this place, support your local businesses, and you really wont regret it. Best handroll and that eighty-eight roll...👏👏👏Only tiny issue...I wish the lighting was a bit dimmer. The brightness is like a hospital, but again, tiny issue.Remember to tip well when the sushi is good...that takes a well-trained sushi chef! They deserve it.

Ive wanted to come here for a while since I saw that they just opened. The inside was spotless, and their servers were very attentive and polite toward us.We enjoyed our meals. My mother enjoyed her bento box, especially her teriyaki salmon. And my husband and I enjoyed all of our rolls, especially the rock & roll roll.

I ordered Tonkatsu Ramen and ChingChing Roll. I would come here again for the sushi. Staff was friendly. Came to support local businessI liked broth but not chashu and noodle. Sushi was good

Alex and family team make the dining experience great at Sushi 88. Very welcoming staff and they offer amazing quality sushi/sashimi.I have visited with coworker and girlfriend twice and we really enjoyed ourselves. You will want to visit every week. I have not tried ramen yet but am looking forward to it.

Food was mediocre but overpriced. Dining environment is good. The selections of ramen seem to be the only thing reasonably priced on the menu.

Had a Yuzu beer and a bento with karage chicken and pork cutlet. Good and I couldnt eat it all, it was huge. Had to sit at the bar because the rest of the seats were already full of reservations!

I was actually recommended by a friend. Unfortunately, I am sorry to say I was quite disappointed. We ordered the omakase 12 pieces, the fish did not taste good, quite chewy. It was served on the ice, I’m afraid the ice mountain may look impressive, but the ice cold IMO does not provide a good taste.We also ordered pork curry, did not like it, the pork was crispy, but taste weird for the meat.I hope the restaurant could improve the fish/food quality and service.

Good ramen place with authentic taste according to my Japanese colleague. There are also American-ised menu items such as deep-fried sushi 🍥.Negative: The paper menus are reused and that leads to a low-quality impression.

The food here was amazing! Tucked in a corner of a suburban strip mall, this sushi and ramen restaurant has it all. It has tonkatsu Ramen, miso soup, lots of ramen, and delicious appetizers. Theres a happy hour from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays (except Fridays ending 6pm). Fantastic service.

A comfortable dining place. Great parking area, spacious dining area. Ordered spicy miso ramen with extra Chasao pork slices, with tepanyaki beef slide dish. Ramen taste good, not so spicy but flavor is good. The tepanyaki beef is very delicious, would like to try again.

It can be hard finding places with good quality fish whether its for poke or for sushi or any other dish for that matter but eighty-eight really nails it on quality,quantity and presentation because it tastes as good as it looks would be an understatement. Would 100% recommend 👌

Sushi & Ramen Family Style Restaurant Mountain View: My Family’s Go-ToSushi 88 & Ramen is a favorite of my family’s for when we are craving sushi, rolls, and/or ramen. There is a little something for everyone. The restaurant is tiny and down to earth, but plenty of room for seating family style. They also have a sushi bar. The sashimi plates are delicious, the Hamachi and the Salmon are my favorite. The sashimi is fresh and heavy (thick), good quality and good texture. Often the sashimi appetizer plate and a small avocado roll is plenty for myself because of the weight and quality of the sashimi. The chirashi and donburi options are also really good. As far as soups (ramen) goes, the ramen is one of my favorites for rainy days or for when I’m feeling under the weather or just want something more hearty, especially the black garlic miso ramen. The taste is bold and a little spicy but not overdone, warming and flavorful. The restaurant also offers bento boxes and basic rolls (Alaskan Roll, Philadelphia Roll, Rainbow Roll, Dragon Roll) as well as fancy & lux rolls (49er roll, blossom roll, and much more). Their pricing has increased in some menu items since the new menu was released a few months ago, but it is still well-balanced in price, options, and flavor palettes. Not a fancy outing, more down to earth and relaxed. For when you want something delicious, good quality, and not-fussy with a homely and local feel. Highly recommend.

Spicy miso ramen was excellent, it came with a fair amount of really tender meat, egg, and the broth was nice and flavorful. The poke bowl is also a winner, it comes with a good amount of sushi, and the rice and extras complimented it all well. Service was good as well.

I frequently visit and am always greeted with amazing customer service, caring staff and even better food! Prices are also great. Thank you, 88!New review: 88 is consistently amazing and I am always excited to come back. Their sushi chefs are ALWAYS delivering delicious, fresh art and the Tonkotsu Ramen is my biggest weakness🥹🙏. Thank you again, 88!

I love this restaurant. Service and food are always fantastic. It is kid and family friendly. So sad that the owner has to close down this location by the end of this year. Cant wait to see what new thing they bring to the new location. I devoured my food so fast that I dont have any pics. Only have pics of my drink (sake sunrise- so delicious) and vanilla ice cream with red beans

This restaurant is OK for my personal taste.It is not bad but I have had definitely better.I’ve had their sushi in the past and last night just had their ramen; both times I have not been impressed.Focusing on the good things, the restaurant location, design and cleanliness is very good, and the service is fast and friendly.On the not so good, but again, that is just my taste, not that it’s bad, the quality is below average.The corn in the ramen was very likely canned preserved corn (looked perfectly shaped, cut and colored), the soy broth lacked flavor and the noodles were somewhat soggy, and the pork was bland (fortunately it was tender)The prices were fair, but personally, not a place I’d return again to.However, I saw other people that seemed to have enjoyed their meal and perhaps for them the taste and quality is good.

Today I had the pleasure to meet our incredible host Candy. It was my fiancé and I first time at this sushi restaurant. She made us feel welcome and was very knowledgeable about the food. The ambiance was perfect and everything we are looking for in “our new place” for dinning. Food is fresh and made in a timely matter. I will definitely be coming back and telling all my friends about this amazing gem in Mountain View! Compliments to the owners!

No joke, best Sushi per dollar ratio in the South Bay.It’s not a fancy $$$$ sushi place, but your dollar will go further and will taste better than the fancy wanna be places.

Roll was fine, good value at 6 pieces for $7. Ramen wasn’t worth buying, I got the garlic tonkotsu where the broth seriously lacked flavor, but the meat was ok

We had a wonderful dinner at the sushi bar. The fish was super fresh and rolls were interesting according to my friends that had sushi. I had the katsu curry don which was so delicious and clearly made from scratch. The sushi chef provided great service and chatted up with us while we asked all the questions!Highly recommend if you’re in the area :)

Fabulous family-run spot in Mountain View! Beat out all the other sushi places on Castro st by a longshot. The quality of their fish is showcased by their ability to cut and slice it delicately. And they are a bit more traditional on their flavor profile, which is a HUGE plus in my book.They are going through a soft re-launch and are very passionate about bringing in some new flair while also staying true to their roots. Theyve been in the business for over 10 years so I cant wait to return and see what else they bring to the table.

Ive come to avoid all-you-can-eat sushi places as Ive never found one that has fresh fish. My team from work had a dinner here and I must say, I loved it! Tons of selection of premium rolls and super fresh. Ive been back several times and never had a bad meal. Also, service is excellent.

This review was on a Sunday @11am. A group of 6 of us, and a little puppy, decided to eat there for lunch. We were craving a nice hot noodle spot. This place showed up on my search nearest me at the time. It was my first time there, Im from out of town. We chose to eat outside of course, be it, we did have a dog with us. My first impression was that all the staff members were very friendly. The menu were easy to understand and they even gave us recommendations of what there favorite food choice was to help. THEY EVEN OFFERED TO BRING A BOWL OF WATER FOR THE PUP! That right there speaks volumes for an unexpected service. We were touched and thankful. We were off on a awesome start. Service was excellent 👌Now for the food. For appetizers I had the garlic edamame, agedashi tofu, and fried gyoza. For the main dish I chose the GarlicTonkatsu ramen🤤.The garlic edamame was the first of its kind that I had. It was unique, at least to me. I expected the edemame to be boiled and lightly seasoned with salt, you know the usual way, but it was different this time. I want to say it was stir fried with chili oil and seasoned with garlic. I must say it was delicious. I ate the whole thing🤣. As for the agedashi and fried gyoza, its tasted what I expected it to taste. Although I must say Its a simple dish, but the eye candy perspective was executed well. It was adorned with a nice green lettuce with he highlighted purple cabbage. Very fancy🤩.The ramen: on the menu it doesnt say spicy. I asked our waitress about it has she said they can add the spicy oil on the side. That was perfect. The food did not take long to arrive, and when it did the presentation was definitely Instagram worthy🤣. The presentation was all there. With the pork on the side, the ramen noodle in the center, the egg slightly to the left side, and that creamy broth is what dreams are made of🥲🤤👌. Before adding the chili sauce I tasted the broth, it is a MUST DO for any soup in my opinion. And it did not disappoint. The flavor was well-balanced not overly salted and had a great aroma. When I added the chili oil, it became perfection to my taste buds. Yes it was DAMN GOOD! I did not add any other seasonings. I had no complaints. I was in a happy place😌🥰. All together for me and my GF it was $95 with gratuity included. Being in the Bay Area its about thats about the cost I expected, but the food and service was well worth it for us. I felt like giving the cook a high five🖐💥🖐.Ambience: outside dining, well shaded, the tents were a little low but caution signs were well posted, simple and easily serves large groups up to 8.Food: hot, warm, delicious met my expectationsService: friendly, attentive, and very accommodating to our little pup with us. BIG ups for the pet accommodation.Cons: the only bad thing that comes to mind was just that low tent height (Im 58), but to be honest it really wasnt that bad. I have no comments for the inside dining.

Sushi 88 & Ramen is the best Sushi restaurant in the area. All the staff and chefs are very friendly and helpful. I have only had their Sushi. Ive ordered platters from them twice for two different event, both times they were huge successes. Ive also brought in large parties (15+ people) and small parties. Every time the service was fantastic. I always have the hot tea and my friend always has a Diet Coke. Our glasses will never hit the halfway mark without getting topped off. My friends and I dont eat shellfish and they have been really great at providing great options using the fish we can eat. Their fried and baked rolls are favorites among my friends. I will even admit to dropping in once just for a single hand roll as a snack!For me, a friendly and outgoing staff is very important at a restaurant plan to frequent. Sushi 88 & Ramen takes the pie. While some people have complained about pricing, I would rather pay extra for great service than pay less for even normal service. Thanks Sushi 88!

Tasty and fresh sushi!The jalapeno appetizer is one of our favorites as well as the crispy gyoza.For sushi I usually go for any of the dragon rolls as Im not a fan of any raw fish items. Tempura is also good. Good customer service experiences so far. I havent tried the ramen so I cant really say if it is a good spot for ramen. As of now our favorite sushi place so far in Mountain View.

Review №67

2016-05-01 20:34:08

Very good sushi, but the price of the all you can eat is approaching too much. Have been here a number of times and always enjoy the food overall though I dont recommend the baked rolls or the cherry blossom as the tuna was a little too light colored the last 2 times. The roll with crab and tempura shrimp with salmon on top is my favorite.

Good simple place for Sushi and/or Japanese fare. Not incredible - not for your sashimi needs really - but very tasty rolls, etc. The hotate sashimi is very good - ask for no sauce. Sometimes good drink/sake/combo deals. Can seat very large groups.

My favorite all-you-can-eat sushi place in the South Bay. Its definitely on the expensive side, but you get the to quality rolls out of any all-you-can-eat sushi spots. All the rolls are high quality and big! Usually all-you-can-eat sushi places load up on the rice. This place seriously loads up on the fish, and doesnt burden you with tons of rice. These are the main reasons its my favorite!

Im writing this review while still in the restaurant. I happen to be visiting from NJ and I happen to frequent lots of All You Can Eat sushi places. They can range from $17 - $25 per person depending... and these arent buffet style places. Taking the Cali inflation into account I could do the $39.95 per person.. but this place legitimately sucks. For the following reasons:1. Theres no Sashimi. Any all you can eat place that cant offer you fish without rice is a red flag.2. They overfill with rice.3. They overfill with fillers, I ordered Spicy Tuna roll and it magically came with cucumbers (who does that?). Also most of the rolls contain tempura. They list a lot of different rolls... but theyre mostly tempura.. and thats super boring.3. Because they use fillers, theyre nice enough to offer you a 3 order per person limit. And they charge $1 for any piece left over.4. I was really hoping being near to the Pacific Coast, would equate to higher quality fish. For this place, it was the opposite. Sadly.5. The ice cream was bad.. Green Tea ice cream (which Im a fan of) tasted like Grass...I have nothing good to say about this place. And I hope you choose a different place.

Everything from here has been delicious. I could eat something from here every day and be happy. The prices are reasonable and sometimes I just go in after a long day babbling noodle soup and they somehow put an order together and I have never been disappointed. Definitely a hidden gem

Usually good but the last two orders were off. Spicy tuna was bland and did not add the sauce requested. Second order was ramen but found hair in it. I normally order my lunch from here because it is convienent but the last two times have been disappointing.

This is the BEST and most authentic Japanese ramen I’ve tasted in the Mountain View area. I am satisfied with my meal each time I come. I also love the White Peach Sake here. You have to try it! Oh, and they’re also available on Doordash and UberEats for the days you want to stay in. :)

I ordered vegetarian ramen which was ok. I then ordered a side of Teriyaki chicken. There was chicken on top. The texture of the meat then changed to something else,that was sliced. I dont know what it was but I was sick as a dog. It very well could have been horse meat. Careful eating here.

Ive only been here once, but I had a good experience. The menu is diverse, and while being heavily influenced by the American fusion epidemic, it is very authentic. I had the poke salad, which was tasty with very fresh tasting ahi. It was a little small for $13.50, but it was good for a light lunch.

I came and ordered for pickup. It was a bit of a long wait but the food was delicious. I ordered the lion king and it was really yummy. My coworker had the bento box but I dont think she enjoyed it much. Id come here again for the lion king roll.

Good services, our tea cup is aways getting refilled. We only had ramen. The ramen soup base is a little bit too salty, egg yolk is half soft half hard, and the pork might need more time to cook. I dont mean its not cooked, it just need more time to be soft. Yes the ramen has everything it should have, even the soup base color is right, but the overall flavor is like its from a flavor pack. Maybe my expectation was too high.It is a decent lunch time place, if you just want a place with good size of food, balanced nutritions and fair price.

2015-08-10 23:02:59

I am all about crazy sushi rolls and trying out new tastes and this place delivers just that! The Carne Asada roll was something out of left field, but definitely worth a try. Sashimi was clean and fresh. The sushi as a whole is great. The atmosphere can get loud during peak times, but still a great place for groups. If you are hungry I say go for the all you can eat menu! The staff is accommodating and the manager is very welcoming.

Great place! Go there with a few friends, order the all-U-can-eat menu, and then, each of you gets to pick 3 rolls. Just go crazy and order a huge variety of rolls. You will get this wonderful plate with lots of different and colorful stuff. You will have a blast.You wont be able to order another round of sushi until you finish the first round. So go there when you are all really hungry.Its tasty and a lot of fun. The only reason I dont give them a perfect 5 starts is that the sashimi fish portions are a bit too modest ... to much rice but not enough fish, for my liking.

My favorite sushi spot in mountain view ! I would go here for the food and the service! The bento boxes are a great value and the portions are generous and well displayed!If you want creative and unique rolls you come here!Lots of bay area sports stars (past, present, and future ) come to this place so you might be one of the lucky few to have them at the table next to you!

Ive come here for dinner a few times. Theyre a bit pricey and the flavor quality of food served is mediocre for me. Ive ordered a few different rolls and their 3pc benti box. . . The size of the bento box and its selections are worth the $30 but I was disappointed in their karage chicken. It was soft and not so crispy and looked different than what im accustomed to seeing karage chicken.

Me and my family love this restaurant. Service is good, and sushi is yummy.Updating my review from 5 to 1 star. Today I ordered food, and it is not worth its price. Bento box has less rice and salad. Chicken teriyaki is terrible not like as before. I will not recommend this place.

Very ordinary and comparable to most sushi restaurants across the region. High priced and requests an 18% minimum tip at checkout. I wasn’t impressed with most of the rolls that i ordered; the lion king sushi was the only sushi i’d recommend that stood out. If you happen to stop by this restaurant; give that a try.

During Covid restrictions we looked for some sushi take out options and were glad we found Sushi 88. Their sushi rolls are superb and I can recommend the cherry blossom roll, green tsunami, Ching Ching roll, spicy tuna temaki and the caterpillar roll. Fresh, creative and delicious. Hint: Try some of the rolls with “crispy powder” as an option - adds great taste, texture and variety.

Came in and was worried about the service since we only saw one person waiting tables and we heard a very verbal group asking that the waitress get help.As far as my service goes the food was great and the service was fair.The menu is quite large with lots of sushi variety. This can be good and bad since it makes it so hard to find something to choose.The restaurant fits enough people for small groups.

The best All You Can Eat Sushi in town! I am always satisfied here - whether I get their sushi, bento boxes, appetizers, or ramen. Their premium rolls are all amazing! My favorite so far is the Umami roll.Their AYCE is definitely worth it. You have access to all of the rolls besides the premium, and a big section of the appetizers. I always feel like Im getting a great deal because everything tastes amazing.They also deliver! What more can you ask for? :) Great sushi at your doorstep - no complaints there.

Mediocre ramen. Wasnt bad but wasnt great. The noodles didnt taste like ramen noodles. No real flavor. Very meh. Its not worth $18. Very little noodles. Did not kill my ramen craving

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night and ordered sashimi, a bento box, and a few rolls. The hamachi and salmon sashimi were both extremely fresh with right cut of thickness. The tempura in the bento box was nicely fried with a light batter, the short ribs which I normally find overly sweet had the right amount of flavor, and the salmon teriyaki was cooked with right donees. The rolls had a variety of flavors, which you could really taste due to the thin layer of rice and it also appears very complex and that tells you a top notch sushi chef is at hand. Overall, there is no knock down and is well deserved our ( family of three ) maximum stars.

Have been coming here, and its sister restuarant down the street for years. Always opt for all you can eat. If you have the appetite, the price is well worth it. They have so many unique rolls that youll want to try them all. Skip the miso soup and salad and save room for the wayne, lion king, cherry blossom, and 49er rolls.

This place is getting worse and worse. We decided to give them one more chance after they served us frozen sashimi, but after they gave us paper thin cut fish in the chirashi don last week, we decided to look elsewhere next time we want Japanese food. Used to be regulars :(

Sushi is Ok, nothing special. Rules are greedy, ridiculous and totally f*d up. All you can eat for 33 dollars, you can order 3 pieces only at time, and then wait for 15 min for other 3!? Yeah, and if you dont like a piece and dont eat it, they will charge you a dollar! What a mess.

Bought delivery from them, spent about 50 bucks on 25 dollars worth of food. The calamari was pathetic, the pot stickers were okay, but no better than the ones you can make at home frozen, and the lamb was a joke, basically two little twigs that were mostly fat. 0/5 would not recommend, save your money

BOYCOTT. I used to come here because the price were good for all you can eat. And ok sushi. The last 4 visits I left psst. The prices are always going up. Used to be 16.99 for lunch. And 21.99 for dinner. Now its 21 for lunch and 26 for dinner. Wich btw starts at 3-3:30! Now on the all you can eat menu it states that you will be chared for left overs! Fair enough as not to waist food. But that still thoses were not the rules 6 moth ago. As long as you dont come here with the expectation of fair prices and resonable start times for dinner prices you will have a good experience. Oh and btw they will NOT bring your all you can eat orders on a separate tray if you bring a friend. They wont place your order untill your friend is ready too. So you better know what you ordered. This is not a place to learn what each order looks like. Made my experience confusing amd frustrating for me as I am not well versed in whats what and what it looks like! Im sorry to say I cannot come here any more. Ive had enough of price changes and rule changes. This is the last time I will have my shushi experience and afternoon ruined btw this place. I rather pay more somwhere else and leave happy. 60 $ for two people all you can eat. Pfffff I rather put gas in my car and eat fast food. P.s do the math on it. And the all you can eat is not woth it un less you can eat more than 3 rolls.

Server tried to serve us a spider roll with fried crab that had gone cold. Have to wonder how long it had been sitting there. Very unhappy with the fact that they tried to pass off potentially unsafe food to a customer. Will not be returning.

The food is great bad the service in my experience is not good, when I enter to this restaurant they just stared at me and I said table for 1 please I asked the guy what is their famous soup he said we have ramen and he didnt assist me to have a choice, even though I told him in the beginning that this is my first time to their restaurant, and of course they have their computation tip, no matter what its like you dont have a choice even you dont like the server, I just noticed that their service with a more than one customer is different in just one customer, I just observed good service with them than me which their ignoring me from some point unlike to the other table their very attentive into their needs hmmmmmm, I gave 2star for the food zero for the service.

Came here for dinner with some coworkers. Even though there were plenty of available tables, they placed us all the way in the back next to the restrooms which we could smell. When they brought us our food a cockroach crawled out from the edamame, and they didnt comp our meal in any way.
