" I have been coming to Yuzu for years, and the quality has remained top-notch every single time. The fish is always fresh, and their sushi rolls are both innovatively crafted and classic at the same time. I love their use of real crab in their California rolls, which makes a significant difference. The ambiance is cozy but can get quite crowded during peak hours. The prices are a bit higher than average but justified by the quality. I highly recommend making a reservation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yuzu offers an authentic taste of Japan right in San Mateo. The sushi is fantastic — fresh and beautifully presented. I loved trying some of the special offerings, which I can't find anywhere else. However, the restaurant's small size can feel overwhelming when busy, leading to a rushed eating experience. The service is good, but definitely can improve in pacing. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what an incredible little sushi spot! I wandered in on a whim and was blown away by the quality of the fish. I ordered the sashimi platter and it was beyond fresh. The atmosphere was cozy, albeit a bit cramped, but that just added to the charm. The service was prompt and friendly which made my experience all the better. They also offer unique rolls that you won’t find anywhere else. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for genuine Japanese sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great little hidden gem! I stumbled upon Yuzu while searching for sushi spots in San Mateo and decided to give it a try. Everything from the service to the food was stellar. I love their unique specials, which feature seasonal ingredients. The only downside is the price, which is on the higher side, but if you want quality sushi, it’s worth it. Their attention to detail is impressive! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mediocre experience overall. I found the sushi to be good but not memorable, especially considering the cost. Service was nice, but I felt a bit rushed as they had a lot of customers. The ambiance is cozy but quite crowded which detracted from the dining experience. I don’t think I would return again unless I heard better things about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Being somewhat of a sushi connoisseur, I was impressed with Yuzu's focus on traditional sushi craft. The omakase option was excellent with a range of seasonal fish to try. All the dishes felt authentic and delicious. Service was friendly, although a little distracted when busy. The setting is cozy, giving a nice neighborhood vibe, but I did find myself wishing for a little more space at times. Overall, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The quality of the sushi here is outstanding! I have tried many sushi restaurants, but this one feels authentically Japanese with its offerings. The service was friendly, although the restaurant was packed during dinner time. I had to wait a bit, but the atmosphere was lively, which I enjoy. A bit pricier compared to other sushi spots around, but I believe you get what you pay for. Definitely would recommend to anyone in search of great sushi. " (*Curated Review*)
