This place actually lived up to the hype. I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for a very long time. Everything was exquisite. The fish is very fresh and I had the best scallops in my life. We went a bit crazy and kept ordering more and more dishes. Can’t wait to be back again.

Extremely fresh sushi most of their fish is direct from Japan. They have an incredible Omakase. They also have many things that other restaurants don’t have such as pressed macro Petra, monk fish liver, and they only do that when it’s in season so it’s so delicious tender, better than any we’ve had at any Japanese restaurant. Consistently good quality, reasonable price and just our go to Sushi for regular as well as special occasions with friends.

Ok this was a truly last minute unexpected experience. My manager had recommended the location and had not provided me the context of the experience I was about to partake. I did the omakase here and was prepared for a delicious dinner. My first role was very citrusy and I was worried this was not going to be a great experience but every next role was my favorite. I had a delicious Spanish Mackerel and Uni for the first time. Overall it was a great experience but when that last roll arrived and I had their Toro I was unprepared for the flavor I was about to taste. That hands down is perhaps the best taste I have ever had in a sushi and likely one of the best single bites in my life. To finish off this experience one of the best sakes I have had as well. Overall can't recommend this location enough and have already scheduled my return.

Absolutely wonderful. Authentic sushi restaurant with kind and friendly staff. The sushi was served with salt and was delicate and flavorful. The tempura was crispy and light. The setting is welcoming and modern. Amazing gem.

I have been a fan of Sushi Sam’s for well over 30 years, back when it was Sam and his wife Mayuimi at the sushi bar. The service at Sushi Sam’s is always amazing, starting with greeting you by name when you enter the restaurant by Kelvin and all the other staff. When you watch Sam and his team of chefs behind the sushi bar, you can see why orders are delivered to the tables fast, yet they still look up to greet customers entering the restaurant and chat with those sitting at the sushi bar. Yes, the food is also amazing, including my usual items such as Edamame (Boiled soybeans) Gomaae (Spinach with sesame sauce) Hot Dog (Deep Fried Fish, Green Onion) Maki Oysters Sam Special (Shrimp Tempura) Hand Roll Chili Dog (Spicy Tuna) Hand Roll California Special (Crab, Avocado, Eel, Masago) Maki Ikura (Salmon Roe) Nigiri Toro (Fatty Tuna) Nigiri Spider Roll (Soft Shell Crab) I would also check out the specials of the day to see what is new, and of course oysters of available. I was both happy to hear Sam and Mayuimi were planning to retire, yet sad to hear the restaurant would be closing. I was excited to hear Koichi Ito, Head Chef and many of the Sushi Sam’s Staff and Manager were opening Sushi Edomata. Tonight is my first time visiting Sushi Edomata and I have to say the service, vibe, food, everything is amazing and I can’t wait to return!

Spin Off of Sushi Sam's, same crew. It is some good eating. Dragon Roll + Citrus Soy Sauce Salmon were great, among other items. Food was delicate, not too heavy.Good idea to make reservations.

Been to this place twice with friends. Excellent service from the whole team with outstanding quality of food. One of the best quality Sushi in Bay Area. Walking distance from my place and hoping to be there again soon.

My wife and I had been eagerly anticipating the opening of Sushi Edomata, and it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owner and promptly seated at the sushi bar, right in front of the itamae (sushi chefs), which made the experience even more special. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The sushi itself was outstanding—each piece was beautifully presented with an artistic touch and tasted just as incredible as it looked. The décor was modern, elegant, and thoughtfully designed, adding to the overall experience. While parking is somewhat limited due to the location, we had no trouble finding a spot. It was a perfect date night, and we’re already looking forward to returning with our family.

This place an absolute gem! The squid legs were perfectly crispy and flavorful—a true delight. Their mouth-watering rolls are crafted to perfection, each bite bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. The sake selection is fantastic and pairs beautifully with the meal. Whether you’re stopping in for their unbeatable lunch specials or indulging in a cozy dinner, Sushi Sam never disappoints. Highly recommend for sushi lovers!

I have been coming to Sam’s for sushi for 20+ years and they are well known for their hand rolls. And last night we got treated to a lot of great off menu items that are simply delicious and great pairing with sake. Spicy tuna handroll is my favorite, followed by the Unagi handroll. Seared Toro was great as usual. It is a happy place and can get loud as it gets later into the night.

The service at Sushi Edomata was wonderful! There were many reservations checking in around 6:30p when we arrived and the front felt a bit hectic, but we were greeted and acknowledged in a timely manner. It did take us about 10-15 minutes to get seated, but the team was working as fast as they could on this busy Saturday night. The overall atmosphere was nice. We got seated at a table with a booth on one side and chairs set up on the other. The staff was able to accommodate a seventh person for our 6 person reservation and I appreciated that they called me and confirmed my reservation earlier in the day. The wait staff was attentive and very nice, promptly refilling our waters, tea, and ginger when asked. While the vibes were all good, the food (especially for the price) left more to be desired. We’ve eaten at many sushi restaurants in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and New York, and unfortunately Sushi Edomata did not impress. We were expecting more classic nigiri but their “special”nigiri came with a bunch of toppings that weren’t listed on the menu. The raw onion on top of the ocean trout was unexpected. The micro green sprouts and almonds didn’t work for me on the sea bream nigiri. The scallop was drenched in so much mayo, I couldn’t appreciate the freshness of the scallop itself. The maguro felt like it came straight from the freezer. The saving grace was the rice that was cooked and seasoned very well. Each grain could be distinguished and had a good chew. I wish the specials menu disclosed the additional ingredients so we could understand the flavor profile before ordering. The agedashi tofu, tamago, negihama, and negitoro were fine. The more satisfying bites included the sweet shrimp and battera. The Japanese scallop special was solid as well. Around 7:40p we put in a second round of orders for Bonito, rose seabass, barracuda, and few others, but were told that those items were sold out for the night. Had we known, we would’ve put our order in earlier. We were a little disappointed, but ordered some alternatives which were fine. For dessert, the pear sorbet and hojicha tiramisu were very good. The sorbet was very smooth; I would definitely recommend that. But, after spending $90/person and still hungry, I don’t think it’s worth the hype. Also, parking is a bit challenging right outside the store. We had to park a block away across the street!

The portions were smaller than average and almost every dish had too much soy sauce. Clam soup was good, but a little oversalted.
