Pretty darn good sushi in an unlikely place. Sashimi is good, melts in your mouth almost and not stringy at all.

Nigiri was also good as well, good size chunks of fish with rice.

The place is tiny so prepare for a wait if you’re there on Friday or the weekend. I just love eating here because it’s tiny and traditional inside so it feels rather homey.

They give you a small bowl of cold soba noodles as a starter which is different from many other Japanese places.

Surprisingly for being located in Santana Row, the food isn’t ridiculously expensive. If you like flat (super pancake like flat) pizza, this is the place for you. Finally, a pizza place where I don’t feel like I’m in a food coma after eating it. Many people I’ve gone with have liked the gnocchi, but I tihnk I just need to conclude that I’m not a gnocchi fan for the most part.

Service was attentive though I do find it a little odd that if you ask for water, they actually ask if you want tap or bottled. I can imagine sitting in the outdoor seating when it’s a nice warm spring or summer day and people watching as we eat.

Like some of the other reviewers said, the portions are a little small. My server suggested splitting a large pizza and an appetizer for two people, but we ended up just splitting two large pizzas among three people and that seemed to work out for us.

Came here for the first time with some friends that were raving about it. It’s one of those places that are all organic and upscale yogurt like. It’s a fairly small place with a few tables and couches.

They only serve greek style yogurt and frozen yogurt made with the greek style yogurt. The yogurt is apparently made on the premises.

The frozen yogurt comes in three different flavours: chocolate, natural, and soy.

There are a variety of toppings that can be added to your yogurt: three different types of honey, maple syrup, kiwi, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, chocolate shavings, toasted almonds, coconut, some types of fruit preserves, graham crackers, and I’m sure I’m missing some still.

They also have some local coffee produced by someplace in Oakland.

You can also feel self righteous and supporting of organic food and like you’re being healthy by getting this frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.

Actually wanted to give it 3.5 stars but that isn’t allowed. Had been wanting to try a Japanese yakitori place for a while, but never got around to it until now. It’s located in downtown Los Altos with somewhat confusing driving directions and as a side note, downtown Los Altos is absolutely creepily dead on Sunday nights.

Restaurant is small like many Japanese restaurants and very nicely decorated. It’d be a good place for a small groups of friends or couples to go. Not sure where they would actually seat large groups or if they can even handle that.

I found the food to be fairly good, but expensive for what you’re getting. I would come back here again in the future since I don’t know of many yakitori places and it was nice. Just it wouldn’t be a regular occurance.

This is the place to avoid if you’re on a diet. Definitely run away, but if you want to enjoy sugary buttery deliciousness in form of cookies or cakes… this is definitely the place! I’ve tried four diffferent mini cakes from here and they’re all rather delicious.

Mmm, this is the sushi boat place to go to if your’e in the mood for sushi boats. It’s moderately priced, decently sized. Not the best sashimi place I’ve been to, but fairly good cuts of fish. You come here to sit at the sushi bar and watch delicious plates of nigiri, rolls, and other stuff float by. The bento boxes are also decent. Also has fake rolls for the tentative sushi loving person (ie. stuff with cream cheese in it and so on).

Came here again. It’s kinda pricey and the food isn’t as good as the price warrants I think. I say if you come here stick to the appetizers, desserts, and cocktails. Overall, our table thought the food seemed just too salty for the main entrees. They didn’t have steak when I went, so I ended up getting the substitution dish of lamb. The lamb was cooked perfectly as it was still slightly pink and that was good. But the accompanying mashed potatos were super salty. I had to use the lamb to cut the saltiness.

Ate here on a late Saturday night for a friend’s birthday dinner. People tended to be more dressy (ie. not very many tshirts and sneakers). The crowd also seemed generally older than we were since we’re in our early – mid 20s for the most part. They had live jazz music going on which was nice. Price range of dishes was about 10$ for salads and up to 20$ for entrees. Had pretty awesome cocktails which were pretty well blended.

You know what you’re getting when you go to a restaurant that mainly has a whopping 1 type of dish prepared different ways. It’s one of those canjun shrimp in broth type places. You can get the shrimp in the broth (still shelled) with french bread or you can spring for the deshelled shrimp with a side of pasta / rice in addition to the bread. I loved this place so much YAY SHRIMP.

It’s small and cute and quaint. Feels extremely homey. Was odd when we walked in because no one greeted us for about 5-10 minutes? We were wondering what was going on. We came here for brunch since I was visiting and the people I was staying with said this was a really good place. The food looked really good and it was a hard decision deciding what to pick…but as usual, i was up to the task!

Tried this with a group of friends for Dine About Town promotion. Just about the only time I’ll drag myself out to nicer places. ;) It’s located in Soma near a bunch of warehouses and really close to 80. The place is small and cute. There are only a few tables and the staff is always very attentive.

It’s classic french food done well. I would go back again when they’re not doing DAT promotion because the prices aren’t that much more.
