Consistently excellent food. Fresh sushi. Lots of cooked food options too. Owners Victor and Dianne make you feel at home in their family business. We love coming here for special occasions or just a night out.

Always great service, fresh rolls. Try the miso cod! Cocktails always a treat! Our picky toddlers love the miso soup with extra noodles and the tempura.

Great tasting sushi, soup, and appetizers. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for really tasty Japanese food. Service was great too!

First and most important thing: GET THE HAMACHI NIGIRI. It completely melted as soon as it hit my mouth. So fresh and delicious. The scallops turned a scallop hater into a scallop lover (not me). And the salmon was also delicious! The spicy hamachi hand roll was also soooo good! My second favorite item though, was the Chawanmushi. So silky and flavorful! I want more just from typing this! I also loved the cocktail I got. It tasted like an apple pie and had Japanese whiskey. Our server was so sweet and was very patient as we ordered one or two small items at a time. They came out quickly and always with a smile. I will definitely be coming back here!

Visited her in a Sunday evening for dinner and it wasn't quite busy yet at 6pm. Shortly after we were seated people began walking in and the restaurant was full. My dad was recommended this restaurant since he found out it relocated and remodeled. I like the modern Japanese ambiance and the bar was beautiful. Our server was nice and took our order but it took a while to receive our food, longer than I usually anticipate even for a busy restaurant. We ordered: Nabe Yaki udon - good but very small amount of chicken, udon noodles were good but not life changing. Tempura udon - tempura was cooked perfectly! One way I determine if a Japanese restaurant is good is how they make their tempura. The shrimp should have the same batter as the vegetables if not that tells me it's frozen or used for sushi rolls. And this tempura had all the same batter and the perfect crisp! Teka maki - fresh fish with a good ratio to rice! Negihama maki - fresh fish, good amount of green onion and rice! Sake nigiri - a bit disappointed with the salmon I thought it would be more flavorful, but it was still good. Spicy scallop roll - fresh scallops! I would return for the quality food, but hoping food service delivery is a bit faster next time!

Great place for happy hours! Pros: Great place to unwind with family or coworkers. A little dim, they have a tv at the bar for sports. Cons: Nothing much.

A hidden gem in downtown San Mateo! O R D E R E D - Shishito Peppers - Chawanmushi [steamed egg] - Short Ribs - Shrimp Tempura - Fish Tacos - Gyoka V E R D I C T We came here cause we wanted some small bites and not a heavy dinner, and always heard great things about Tokie's, so here we are! Josh was our server and he was great! He's super friendly and gave great recommendations and we loved everything that we ordered. The vibe here at Tokie's feels like a big family where you can see a lot of returning customers and new customers and everyone is treated with kindness and respect. We really enjoyed that their shrimp tempura, quite frankly all of their tempura, is made fresh and you can tell based on the tempura batter. If it's fresh, it's flaky and falls off, whereas the ones thats not made fresh stick to the shrimp and don't fall off like a flakey texture.

We came here to celebrate my mom's birthday. We made sure to make reservations since we were a party of 11. It wasn't busy when we arrived but it did fill up. Service was great! Food / Drinks - all came out at a good pace. No one had to wait. My husband and I shared the katsu curry, yaki onigiri (1 Katsuo, 1 Salmon), fried chicken wings, and cold soba. I think my favorite was the katsu curry. The curry was very reminiscent of the one that I had when I went to Japan as a teenager. Tonkatsu was tender and perfectly fried. They allowed us to bring in a cake which was very convenient. My mom had a great birthday!

I was very excited to try a new (well, new to me) sushi spot in SM and this one is conveniently located downtown. Came in around 6 PM and it wasn't that busy, but got much busier an hour later. I ordered the chirashi and it came with soup and salad. I wasn't a huge fan of this dish, but that's because I went out of my comfort zone eating raw fish. The Ronnie roll, however, was SO good. I would absolutely come back for this roll and to try more rolls. Our server was also very sweet.
