Akizu Sushi Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Foster City

Update: We had lunch today and got their lunch special Bento box (many to choose from starting at $15.95). Our bento box had salmon teriyaki, rice, salad, vegetable and one prawn tempura, 3 sashimi and miso soup ($22.95). We also ordered the Rainbow Blossom Roll ($17). Everything was simply delicious. The bento box had a good amount of food for the price. The sashimi melted in your mouth. The tempuras were fried perfectly and didn't ooze oil everywhere and also a good amount. The miso soup was also delicious. The salmon teriyaki piece wasn't huge but absolutely acceptable for the price.

The Rainbow Blossom Roll was also very good and had the perfect amount of fish to rice ratio and drizzle of their special sauce.

The server / owner(?) gave us an extra miso soup free of cost and was very friendly.

We have eaten here before and ordered a few times. But this was hands down the best experience so far. Fresh fish and a good amount for the price?

Review from 4 years ago: The front said under new management. So we went in for lunch on a Saturday. It was empty apart from a couple of people for take outs. We were 4 adults and 2 kids. They brought free edamame right after we sat (which they didn't do when we visited few months back). We ordered the salmon+ sashimi lunch box, chicken karage +katsu lunch box, sushi lunch box, cherry blossom roll, and rainbow roll. The amount of the lunch box was HUGE! Two people can share the amount of food they served. The quality of karage, katsu, tempura and salmon was very good too. The blossom sushi was good but I took a star off for the rainbow roll with didn't taste fresh. But we will definitely return for the lunch specials! Bang for...

Small little hole in the wall restaurant. Limited on seating, but worth the wait if you had to. They have a wait-list, but for it being a Tuesday no wait at all.

Food was AMAZING and FRESH! We got the calamari Katsu as appetizer. Decent portion and size of calamari was the big rings, not the tiny ones you get at other restaurants. Omakase Sashimi, 15 piece, was some of the freshest sashimi I've ever had. We also got the Super Godzilla (huge deep fried roll), Super Spider, and Crazy Dragon. They were all flavorful and not skimped on fish/toppings/fillings.

The service was perfect. They're friendly and make you feel comfortable. Would absolutely recommend to anyone passing by Foster City or...

Unfriendly and rude....It was so messy when we went in....They had the to go laid out in the middle of the restaurant....The guy server was so impatient and unfriendly.... Basically rushing us to order ?? And was screaming the order to the inside?? the server was exchanging loud conversations amongst each other in front of customers sitting in???? The food was not the best, didn't taste fresh, definitely not the best unagi don or sushi we've had, it not value for money....This will be the last time we visit...Not recommended. So...
