Reviews for Noma Sushi in San Mateo, CA

The noodle tasted rancid and the onion was old. The noodle and soup tasted like the smell of a computer master board. It was my... first time there and my last. This restaurant is NOT the place for CHOWMAIN. Read more

Staff is friendly and attentive. Place is cute. Looks new and clean. A bit of a weird location though ....\n\nOysters and beef... tongue skewers were good. Everything else was just ok. Tastes fresh but strangely bland on the inside. All the sauces were greaton the outside. Angry bird was probably the best out of the 3 we tired. Read more

Easy to find parking, I\'ll give them that. The pork belly skewer was really nicely seasoned. The oyster shooter was nice, real... sake with quail egg and oyster, would\'ve loved a bit more tobiko though.\n\nSo now the omakase sashimi. 12 pièces, 2 each of 6different varieties. They all weirdly had no taste, other than the one dish that was soaked in overpowering sesame oil. Nomatter salmon with truffle, Hamachi, otoro (which had chewy pieces)...all don\'t have the original fish taste. The texture wasall fine, just no taste. I mean, I\'m no omakase connoisseur, but I\'ve had my fair share growing up on Sushi Sam and the likes.This was not right. Read more

New sushi place in a quiet back street. Absolutely delicious. So much selection on the menu and the quality of the food is... extremely high. Everything is fresh. Nothing stale to be seen. Welcoming for our little family with two small children. We havebeen three times now and it has been excellent every time. I agree that the menu is very creative! So many interesting sauces,garnishes and textures. Presentation makes you want to take photos. Staff are impeccable and the place smells very clean andhygienic.our new favorite! Read more

I tried their deluxe sushi set before and it was good. This time I ordered the rolls and was also satisfied. Fish is fresh. The... flavors works for me.\n\nI only give out 5 stars if it exceed my expectations in terms of taste and price. Overall Noma is goodand would definitely order again. Read more

We are sushi lovers and live in the neighborhood, so we were excited when seeing this new sushi place on google map.\n\nCustomer... service: Ordered online for togo and picked up at store. When taking over the order the server had a bad attitude and said“You need to PAY!”. I said I paid online and she left without any apology. Later they verified my payment and handed us thefood, still no apology.\n\nFood: Fish was not fresh. We eat the omakase since it was expensive but couldn’t finish the roll.The omakase was better but the sushi places at downtown San Mateo are better- and at the same price range.\n\nWould not comeback.

Creative and yummy sushi rolls, friendly service. 15% for grand-opening period dine in customers. New sushi place for us!

Even though I am a Gaijin (??), I know good sushi. I travel the world extensively and eat sushi in quite a few different... countries. When I saw a new place had opened in town I was looking forward to trying it out. I always rate a sushi joint by itsSashimi, and Noma’s quality was too rate. I also tried some rolls and enjoyed those as well. The service was excellent withvery attentive staff and I will definitely be back often. Read more
