Reviews for San Mateo in San Mateo, CA

Onigilly is great for snacking! They have these great little wraps they call onigilly that are essentially a rice triangle with... yummy stuffing or fillings like Salmon, spicy bacon and even some veg options. If you're hungry and need a quick bite, swing byand you won't be disappointed. I'd say it's about $4.5-$5.5 per Onigilly after tax. Regarding atmosphere or vibes, it's usuallypretty empty inside but I usual pick up to go so not really looking to stay anyway. Read more

Good onigilly The poke bowl was ok, but the rice triangle was really well made compared to others I've had. The furikake fries... were nice too Read more

One of the worst meals I?ve ever had. Pros: Vegetarian options, reasonable prices Cons: Bland and gross items, tempura from... trader Jo?s I wanted to try this place for dinner since the pictures of the Onigilly looked interesting. As soon as I went init was clearly mostly a take out and door dash restaurant. You order on an tablet. We were the only people In the restaurant andstill got brought the wrong food. The veggie tempura was identical to ?birds nests? sold at trader Jo?s. So close I would beshocked if they didn?t come from the same manufacturer. The Onigilly look cool but all the ones we tried were either ok or soterrible we couldn?t eat them, and I?m not picky. Even the ok Onigilly was more enjoyable to look at then eat. The ratio offilling, rice and nori was just off. Miso soup was edible. Would never recommend this place to anyone. Read more

Very fresh and tasty Japanese food, reasonable prices, travels well so excellent choice for delivery. We get the rice bowls... from here all the time via UberEATS and they are always outstanding. There are so many choices and a variety of fresh veggiesstuffed into each bowl. Rice bowls have a base of partially killed brown rice and mixed greens. On top is washable salad, redcabbage, carrot, edamame, takuan, onion, and THREE choices from a huge list of seasoned meats, seafood, and veggie dishes. Ireally like the miso nasu eggplant, spicy beef, and spicy shrimp, my partner likes the shrimp tempura, teriyaki chicken andteriyaki tofu. We both love the creamy sesame dressing which is like kewpie roasted sesame dressing (there are otheroptions) We also like the takuan (pickled radish) so much that we order a full side order. It is SO satisfyingly crunchy andthe sound of the crunch penetrates your brain in the best way. Read more

No seating, just a kitchen. Food is delicious and fresh. There is a park that is nearby that has a picnic table. I like the soup... and the mushroom. Read more

I believe this place is operating as a "ghost kitchen" or side gig of another business -- a quick search shows that there's also... a "Curry Ninja" and "Tokyo Poke" located at the same address, with the same food photos. In addition to a catering company. Igot a "build your own" poke bowl with salmon, Shio Koji poke sauce, and "Original-Non-Oil" dressing. This bowl is definitely astep above the normal ones. Flavor was different than what I was expecting, but delicious. Good variety of toppings, goodbalance of flavors, not overly sweet or salty. Love that it's real seaweed salad, not the Yellow #5 Blue #1 stuff that most pokeplaces offer. Highly recommend the Shio Koji sauce. I didn't know what "Original-Non-Oil" dressing was, the ordering systemdoesn't say, but I was feeling brave so I got it. It's some sort of vinegar/vinegarette. Everything in the bowl was fresh. Itcomes default with half brown rice and half mixed greens. Very filling portion size too. Only complaint is that I like a littlebit of a spicy kick which wasn't present here. To be fair, maybe there was an option in the ordering system that I missed. Theplace faces a back alley road and looks like some sort of warehouse. Amazing poke bowl tho, highly recommend! Read more
