Reviews for Ultra Sushi in San Mateo, CA
Food is good in general. Place is cute but hard to take it as a serious place with the paper and hand written cardboard menus... and random plants in nursery pots on the wall. Chicken karage was just ok. Hamachi kama, Lion King and volcano rolls were good. Read more
I'm not sure how this place has low reviews. Ultra Sushi is probably the best all you can eat and drink sushi I've ever been to.... The quality of the sashimi is excellent, they have an incredible selection of nigiri, and their sushi rolls aren't just a bigball of rice. The service is also phenomenal due to their speed and efficiency. I've come here twice now, and I'll definitely becoming back for more! Read more
Excellent quality fish and service. Ayce is worth the price and 20 pc sashimi plate is great. Oysters, sea urchin, and fatty... tuna available for ayce Read more
$42 premium sushi ayce including sake. All food items were of great qualty. Required 2 normal items with every premium item... order. Great that they don't completely load up on the rice for the sushi. Read more
Sushi quality is pretty good for the price. But service is a bit slow and time limit was kind of enforced. As a result, it felt... quite rush at the end (though the staff did extend the time for us to finish the last order). Read more
AYCE but not really. They have 4 waiters for 30 tables so service is extremely slow. For a party of 4, we only ordered 2 rounds... during the 1.5 hrs before they told us we had only one final round left. The majority of the time we were idly waiting, hungry,waiting for either food to come or a server to help us order next round. Fish is also not the freshest. Only after calling themanager over did we get a fourth round, which miraculously came super promptly. They also include an 18% gratuity for lettingyou sit there and wait. Sidenote, they don?t tell you when an item is not available (such as oysters) until afterwards whenyou?re wondering where the food is and time is up. We came specifically for the 30pc sashimi which was also not available thatday. Will not be returning ever and do not recommend, 0 stars. Read more
The concept of AYCE is great. However it doesn't really make sense with all the rules they have. You cannot order until every... item on the order are serviced. However it takes more than 30min for them to prepare the Nigiri. We can only wait until theyfinished serviced everything so that we can put in a second order. The second order was even worse. Took them more them 45min.We was trying to put in a third order right after. They told us the second order was the last order. If you only allow twoorders and having all the restrictions, stop calling yourself "all you can eat". You charge 18% tips as minimum. Good job, sinceparty with more than 5ppl can't really order anything and to be honest you didn't provide and service at all. You didn't evenyell me that the second order is last order!!! Read more
A little on the pricey side for AYCE. After they added their service fees, was close to $60 per person. With that said, i'd say... it's still worth it if you enjoy sashimi and want AYCE. There's not really any other options that offer ayce sashimi. Their tunaand hamachi was good quality but salmon was a bit subpar, when we went. They also offer items considered more premium, such asuni, toro, or salmon belly. (Premium items are limited to one per order and must be ordered with non-premium items.) They have asmall variety of rolls available, as well as skewers, which are great for changing up texture/flavors mid meal. The rolls aresmaller, when ordering ayce, which is nice as they would not be as filling. Location is good as there are a lot of boba placesaround to get after the meal. Decor is nice, but service was lacking. Waiters were not outright rude but acted very casually andunprofessional. We also had to remind them a few times about previous things we ordered. Otherwise no outstanding issues. Theyadvertise an All-you-can-drink, which includes hot sake and canned soft drinks. Read more
