Used on 21mar2024.I am a Japanese person from Amami Oshima.The yellowtail kamayaki was so delicious that I ordered another one.For Japanese people, I would like the sashimi to be cut thinner.The fish was very fresh and delicious.Regarding the balance of sashimi and rice in nigiri sushi, there is extremely little rice, which makes it feel strange.When making miso soup to go with sushi, it is common to use red miso instead of sweet white miso.Next time I would like to make a reservation in advance and try the tuna kamayaki.

We thought food at this restaurant is cooked by Japanese cook from the pictures and menu. But actually food is arranged, not cooked, by two young Chinese boys and the server is a young Chinese girl. Customers too are Chinese. Food is something like Japanese.

Staying here from Minnesota this week, and while we have plenty of sushi restaurants in Minnesota, I suspect that California has better places than we do. This place was close to our hotel and Google maps recommended it highly. We were greeted warmly upon coming in, and the service was very fast.The sushi is the star here! Very fresh and buttery cuts of fish here and well presented. They use real wasabi here too, something I'm not used to back home. My partner is not a sushi fan so he had salmon teriyaki. It was also delicious.The prices here are very reasonable.I definitely recommend this place. I will be dreaming about it when I get back to Minnesota.Parking: Lot next door

Amami sushi is my go to place whenever I’m craving sushi. Their quality is always consistent and I have not been disappointed! I always order the chirashi bowl and the fish is always so fresh and buttery. I don’t know what wasabi they use but it makes a big difference from the usual dry wasabi used at other sushi places. The portion size is also pretty good and the service is excellent. Would highly recommend!

This came as a recommendation from family and it was so good that we went twice in a week. The restaurant is small and the place fills up fast so be sure to secure a reservation. We ordered the omakase to share along with some a la carte sushi from the blackboard. The baby otoro and the norwegian salmon were to die for. The cut of fish is huge so a few pieces fills you up fast.

The sushi quality was top notch. They served barley tea when we were seated. Even the picked ginger was delicious.

Long waits but worth it. Eric is the best server and always takes care of me and my friends. The omakase is worth it and I get it every time. I've been to a few of their other locations but this one is the best by far

Avoid this location at all cost!!!!Amami Sushi is one of my favorite places. The food is good and the lady working the front is so kind. Unfortunately the Asian male working the front loves to let his friends cut in line. One bad apple really does ruin the batch.My family including my daughter (1 yrs old) waited 45 min in line for dinner. As we were about to seat, the male server mentioned the people that walked in was ahead of us.I knew this wasn't true bc I saw the list nobody was ahead of us as we were waiting there for 45min.It's really sad that someone can have such a big ego to have his friends cut in line ahead of a 1 yr old baby.The guy mentioned, those were not friends but just customers...Well guess what, he took a few shots with these people. And when my husband saw them take shots, he looked away.Anyways, I will no longer be eating at this location as they really don't care about their customers.

Very fresh fish with delicious rolls. One of the better. Sushi places we've tried. Parking convenient.

I travel from ny and friends recommended this place to me. I'd say this place is probably the most affordable omakase in the Bay Area (I've never had a omakase that is less than $80). The set came with 10 pieces and as you can see in the picture, the size of the fish is long! It also came with a huge fresh grated wasabi (second piece on top on the right side) we all thought that was avocado at first lol. Overall the fish were fresh and the place was very affordable. Good portion. Yum.

Can't go to Amami without trying the Omakase. We got the Lover's boat 20-piece sashimi with nigiri, a California roll (ask for real crab for $1 more), & substituted the spicy tuna for a rock and roll ($2 extra). A lot of food for $49.

Impressive ! Probably one of the best around in the neighborhood. Was really impressed by the food freshness and portion but with affordable price. Would likely become my regular rotation from now on! Definitely a hidden gem! Worth a try!

My husband recommended this place to me after he had it with his colleagues. I had chef's omakase, overall I liked it, it would be better if the restaurant can briefly write what's inside the chef's omakase on the blackboard, so the customers have a better idea when they order this item. My husband ordered a combo this time, which I think the value wise it's extremely good, especially it's filling to a guy too. Beef teriyaki is a little bit hard, I personally like the beef really soft, but my husband like the taste of it. To sum up, we may come back again sometimes if we want affordable Japanese food.

Came here for the Omakase! We went on a Thursday night so we were able to get seated right away. I know this place can be busy on the weekends. Had 10 nigiri with Amani sushi's signature big "neta". I wish the server went over what each nigiri was instead of just serving it to us without any explanation. Coming from Japanese background, small gestures and service like that goes a long way. I hope they can implement that in their service for omakase! Other than that it was delicious for its price. My favorite part was actually the wasabi infused with ginger that came on the plate. If you're looking for your first affordable omakase this is a place to go! And maybe grab an in-n-out burger on the way home......
