This is a sushi restaurant that I visit many times, almost once a month. In general, I am relatively satisfied with the products of this restaurant.The products of Amami Sushi are very consistent with their name. The taste is more Amami (sweet taste). They will spread some Japanese soy sauce on each piece of sushi, which will make the sushi taste sweeter. Another good thing I want to say is that this sushi restaurant has a large parking lot, which will make you not have to worry too much about parking.Back to the most important taste, I ordered their "Omakase", which means that the sushi for this meal is decided by the chef. As shown in the picture, the appearance of this plate of sushi is very delicate, the slices of sashimi are crystal clear and bright in color, the freshness of the ingredients is very good, and the chef slices the fish in front of you. Sushi is mainly nigiri sushi, and the rice of each piece of sushi is moderate in size, which will not snatch the flavor of the sashimi, nor will it be too loose to affect the taste. If you can sit at the bar, you can also see the chef making it for you. In addition, some sushi is paired with caviar, avocado, chopped green onion, shiso and other ingredients, adding different levels of flavor. Salmon sushi is plump and has an oily aroma, while grilled salmon adds a hint of smoky flavor after the surface is slightly charred, making the taste richer. Tuna sushi is firmer and has a very rich taste. White fish sushi, such as red snapper or sea bream, has a firmer texture and a refreshing flavor, while scallop sushi is mainly chewy and you can taste the unique sweet flavor of scallops. The avocado will have a creamy taste (but to be honest, I think avocado is more American-style, delicious, but I personally don't like it).This "Omakase" has a variety of varieties, and the taste is not much different from what I ate in Japan, which can satisfy my enjoyment of different tastes.

Came here over 2 years ago and had to wait over 1 hour because we had no reservation on a Friday night. This is after a 1.5 hours drive from San Jose!So I was in a negative mind set and had swore to never come back here. As fate would have it, I had a chance to come here again on a Sunday early evening. No waiting and the food was fantastic!The special Fatty O Toro was quite good and basically melted in my mouth. The portion was generous and the cut was just thick enough to make the fresh fish delicious. The next piece was the Ebi sweet shrimp head soup and sashimi style for the body. It's not on the menu so you have to ask for it. We also ordered the grilled Kampachi Kama. A grilled fish with 4 pieces of grilled fish that consist of 2 fish heads. Not recommend for non connoisseur of sushi. A squeeze of lemon on the fish make its a delicious treat. I also tried the Hamachi Jalapeño with some kick and the special oyster with quail egg and Tampico. Quite good. Didn't expect the food was this good so it was a nice surprise. Make sure to make reservation if you're coming.

My boyfriend's family and I all went there for the first time in a while, for me my first time ever. We ordered a lot of food, and at first it was very good. We got the miso soup, oysters, Hamachi Jalapeño, oyster special with uni and eggs, and the omakase. I devoured all of it.Afterwards I went to use the bathroom and I saw a few roaches on the wall coming from the kitchen. I tried not to think much of it. Sometimes it happens... but then when we were on the way home I ended up feeling really sick. I found out that I had gotten scombroid food poisoning. I've had food poisoning before but it was nothing like this... I had to take off work because of severe stomach pain, fever, chills, nausea and other issues that I won't name. I never leave bad reviews on places, but please be careful if you decide to come here.

One of my favorite sushi restaurants. They offer very affordable lunch and dinner sets as well as omakase for $42. Their omakase only consists of 10 pieces but the pieces of fish is large. Great flavors and quality for its price. The restaurant can tend to get packed for dinners especially on weekends so make sure to come early or make a reservation.

Their sushi quality is always good, that's what keeps people coming. Although, when they are short staffed, the wait for the food can be up to 45 mins. Made a reservation a day prior & the table was ready when we arrived. It wasn't as busy until 7:15-7:30. The whole place was packed on a Wednesday night. They automatically add 20% tip for our party of 8. We barely had customer service, since the waitress was swamped. Would've been nice to adjust the tip to slightly lower than 20% since we had to wait a long time for the food.

After a good workout at the gym, decided to eat a little healthier and throw down some sushi. This place is still my favorite sushi joint in Bruno. If this place was in the same shopping plaza where my gym is i would probably eat there more often. The sushi there is so fresh and love that it is frequented by locals. It feels like a neighborhood spot as opposed to a trendy spot.Your boy went with his usual Amami Roll and Dragon Roll. This could be my Last Meal on Earth. If it were though, 2 rolls of each. These rolls are so good that I have considered working just to be able to eat for free. Just kidding, they would fire me after. week.Service was very good considering the place was packed--not an open seat in the house. The servers were on pointe keeping the hungry customers fed. Time to show the pics.

Once again I'm back here for their omakase. The quality is so fresh and just look at them! Can you say NO to them? All the staffs including server and the two sushi chef at the bar are always so friendly which makes it fun to come here. Service was good as always but when they have a lot of orders it may take a little longer for your orders so please don't get mad at the staffs and be patient and be chill by drinking some sake. This is my spot when I'm craving for Japanese therefore I'll be back for sure. They have a parking lot but most of the time it's full cuz they are busy but no worries cuz there are plenty of street parking right outside.

Amami Sushi is located in San Bruno. However the address is not 1789 El Camino. It's actually, 312 El Camino Real. Surprisingly there several Amami Sushi in San Bruno and South San Francisco. This one happens to be located in the middle of them both. We decided to try this location with a couple of our friends. The restaurant is a decent size with a partition that separates the front and the back. This place is known for their sushi and that's what we ordered. For appetizers, we ordered the chicken karrage and agedashi tofu. They were delicious. Some times you order the fried chicken and it's real greasy, but this one was light and full of flavor. For the main course, we ordered the Omakase nigiri special which had a variety of sushi. The ratio of fish versus rice on the sushi was perfect. Sometimes restaurants try to overwhelm the sushi with more rice and you lose the taste of the fish. Not this place. They make sure you get your moneys worth. We also got the seared baby lobster which was two decent size lobster. The service was awesome. I believe the individuals helping serve our table with the co-owners.
