Sushi House

My boyfriend and I stopped here for takeout recently and had a positive experience overall. This was my first time at Sushi House, but my boyfriend frequents this place very often and loves it every time.

We ordered online and the food was ready a few minutes after we arrived at the restaurant. I got their chicken karaage bento box, which was a huge portion and came with salad, miso soup, rice, and two pieces of California roll. As I don't eat a ton for every meal, I had enough for leftovers the following day! In terms of the food itself, it was good but not anything mind-blowing or spectacular in my opinion. Some pieces of the chicken karaage were a bit tough and I wish it was a bit more crispy though that may have been because we took the food home to eat. The miso soup and salad were very standard fare (typical of what you would get at any Japanese restaurant).

All in all, definitely a good local Japanese place with prices that aren't crazy for Palo Alto; I would want to come back and perhaps try their sushi in the future!

This was hands-down one of my favorite places to get simple japanese food. there's no other place in Palo Alto that makes chicken bowls like the way sushi house does. The chicken is a mix of dark and light meat and paired with a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce that is absolute perfection. I think sushi House is pretty underrated so if you're in the area definitely check them out

This is a well-liked homey local Japanese restaurant in Town & Country close to the north eastern side of the shopping plaza by the train track.

Hear their bento box is popular, but during this year of "take-outs," mostly order sushi-nigiri for my girl who likes their freshness.

There are a few outdoor tables that T & C provides with bright yellow shades.

Customers order in-person or phone to order.

Wish they used different kind of plastic container as the only they use is hard to open & could be sharp to skin if opened in wrong ways.

I called last night to compliment Sushi Chef,  JULIO NABEYAKI on yet another flavorful, delightful sushi dinner.  His response was par for an artist with a modest demeanor and reputation:  "IT'S GOOD EVERY NIGHT."
So next time tell Julio that Paul Simon is looking for JULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOLYARD."  Julio is a man of many talents and a smile wider than your next Rainbow Roll.  Peace Out.

Delicious sushi, reasonable prices, fast service and really friendly servers.  We come here to eat lunch and we also order their party trays for our family get togethers.

This is a convenient place to get take-out while craving sushi during the pandemic. However, both times I've been kind of disappointed in the flavors. The seaweed salad, inari (rice-filled tofu skins) and futomaki all run extremely sweet and have a potent off-putting ginger taste. The tuna avocado roll is good but not outstanding. There's a good selection of non-sushi items like noodles and bento boxes.

I'm not sure why this spot has such a mediocre rating. I ordered a rainbow roll and a Philly roll in-store to eat at the picnic benches nearby. There was only one person ahead of me placing an order to-go, so the whole wait was extremely swift. Once I placed my order, it took about 7 minutes to get my rolls. A server delivered them to me at the table, so I didn't have to queue up again to pick them up. It was extremely efficient and comfortable.

The sushi itself was delicious. The fish was fresh and the ratios were just right. The rolls were hearty, as they did not skimp on fish/ filling! The meal was packaged well with the rolls separated from each other and from the ginger + wasabi. (I really like my food separated.) The only thing I did find surprising was that it was a bit pricey, but I do think the quality warrants the price, especially for the Palo Alto area. I do wish they had more experimental/ interesting roll options, but hey, I usually get the same generic rolls anyways, so what does that matter? So if you're the hunt for a new go-to sushi spot in Palo Alto, definitely try Sushi House.

Jackpot! I've been searching for a sushi place that had the right balance of quality and portion size for the price. Sushi House fits the bill!

For dinner I ordered a salmon hand roll, unagi hand roll, and fresh salmon roll via Door Dash. My order came in a large brown paper bag and I appreciated that they gave a generous amount of napkins and chopsticks in a separate plastic bag as well. The portions exceeded my expectations and the quality for the price was not bad either. I will be ordering from Sushi House again!

This place has become one of my 3 "Go To" reliable/dependable local Japanese restaurants. They have four super critically important ingredients that sing "authenticity" and helps to make for a great Japanese eating experience:

1. Quality maguro tuna sushi at a reasonable price (including one of my favorites: tekka maki)

2. Natto maki: the simple fact that they have this on the menu certifies the authenticity of this being a true Japanese sushi restaurant. Natto is one of those traditional mainland-Japanese foods that is considered very "ethnic" and has turned many non-Japanese noses away. I grew up eating this with raw eggs and hot rice/shoyu, and my kids have done the same. I have learned to use this is a "Japanese authentic" barometer (along with a white board of hiragana/kanji of the daily specials) to determine if a restaurant has Japanese owners and is truly catering to Japanese tastes.

3. Quality homemade salad dressing: extremely difficult to find, and just as tricky to make. I regularly scour the Nijiyas/Mitsuwas/Surukis for great Japanese dressings. I think this is perhaps one of the most oft-overlooked items that Japanese foods can be quite phenomenal at: outstanding Japanese dressings. Sushi House makes a really phenomenal one, included with their bento meals. It is really ridiculously good. If they sold it, I would pay $20 per bottle for this glorious elixir.

4. Quality delicious orange slices: sounds odd perhaps to non-Japanese, but a high quality orange slice is a very traditional Japanese "dessert." We rarely had high-sugar laced/heavy carb desserts after meals, but instead typically enjoyed a very quality orange. The citrus tartness, sweetness and easy to peel aspects make the end of a meal truly enjoyable. Their bento boxes always offer this.

My favorites include the tekka maki, natto maki, and chicken teriyaki bento combo. Their grilled chicken teriyaki is done very well--good pieces of chicken cooked well and a not-too sugary teriyaki sauce.

This local place is tucked away in the back of the Town and Country Village shopping center. They are still serving meals to go. Please visit to support this long standing great local restaurant.

The sushi was delicious! The salmon nigiri was very fresh, possibly the best salmon I've had at a sushi restaurant. Food came out quickly and was reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back here and trying other rolls!
