Reviews on Japanese food in Redwood City, California, United States. Redwood City is a city on the San Francisco Peninsula in Northern California's Bay Area, approximately 27 miles (43 km) south of San Francisco, and 24 miles (39 km) northwest of San Jose. Redwood City's history spans its earliest inhabitation by the Ohlone people to being a port for lumber and other goods. The county seat of San Mateo County, it is the home of several technology companies such as Box, Informatica, Oracle, Evernote, Wealthfront, and Electronic Arts. At the 2010 census, the city had a population of 76,815. The Port of Redwood City is the only deepwater port on San Francisco Bay south of San Francisco. Redwood City is the location of the San Mateo County Jail, for both women and men. The Malibu Grand Prix long time landmark was recently demolished along with the city's only Mini Golf, Go-Kart, Video Game Arcade, and Batting Cages. Malibu Grand Prix's previous location is currently the construction site of a new additional Jail and Inmate housing facility. The city has a motto "Climate Best By Government Test" which is a reference to it being one of the top German scouted scientific climates and the city was one of the locations mapped by them during their testing and data collection. The Hetch Hetchy water pipeline runs through Redwood City and supplies a vast majority of the surrounding area with low grain (+/− 3 grains) rated water.

We walk to this place from the house. It's a really nice place with good kitchen. They have outside seating which is convenient when we take our dog along. Attaching a picture of our favorite sake, it's pretty sweet.

It's a guilty pleasure but I do enjoy Gordon Ramsay's Nightmare Kitchen reruns. Yes it's formulaic. Yes I'm sure most of the drama is created for the show. Yes I do not see the need for all of the beeped out F bombs, and I have to admit I always thought it was a set up, that no food service establishment could possibly be as bad as the ones Ramsay based his show on. But for the second time I was proven wrong. These places do exist and Sakura Teppanyaki and Sushi is one of them. We show up for reservation and inform the hostess that we are attending the show across the street and it's important that we have completed the meal by a certain time. We have allowed ourselves an hour and a half, which seems plenty of time when you're ordering meals consisting mostly of raw fish.My first impression as I walk in is, "This place is really dingy, particularly for a Japanese-oriented restaurant." They seat us around and empty "Benihana" grill. Ten minutes later, and not a single knife and spatula-wielding, wisecracking cook in sight, we realized at this pace we will not make the show and requested another table. Since we seldom consciously decide to relive nightmares so I will be brief. My friend and I both ordered sushi roll entrées which were neither fresh nor tasty. In fact, I would've been disappointed if I'd ordered this food at an AM/PM gas station. The teriyaki chicken was also ordered and according to the consumer was bland, runny, and tasteless. Hmmm, maybe my sushi roll wasn't so bad in comparison after all.The good news -- we were on time for the show.

This is my 2nd favorite Japanese restaurant in Redwood City. The owner is nice and always greets with a friendly smile behind the sushi counter. The fish is always fresh. Serving size of the fish though may be slightly below average. They have a good selection of fish on the chalkboard which is the fish they have fresh that's off the normal menu. They also usually have raw oysters on the half shell which a lot of other Japanese restaurants don't always have.

Located in downtown Redwood City, this place is convenient if you were going to the movie theater. However, the food is average, the Korean beef ribs tough, and two of the items offered in the dinner combo were , according to the server, not too popular. In the middle of our meal, we were given our check and, even though there wasn't a waiting line, "encouraged" to leave. No relaxed meal here!

Didn't expect much here but this place that serves Japanese small plates deserves to be a hit for its good value and authentic tastes. If you come during happy hour, there are many dishes and beers that go for $5. We got the chicken kaarage, french fries with unami flavoring, agedashi oysters, salmon poke, grilled salmon, Washu Aburi Steak. All were extremely tasty. I would skip the smoked pickles (just meh and too vinegary).

We ordered the tempura combo with miso soup, salad, and rice. Every bite was scrumptious yet light! The ingredients were fresh, plate colorful--we were very pleased! I am not a big sushi eater, but my family gave a big "thumbs up". We were on vacay but came back the very next day for more! Seems like a local favorite because the place can get packed. The prices are very reasonable and the service is great too.
