Excellent sushi, but terrible customer service.
My friends and I were running late for our reservation, and even though I called ahead, the restaurant kept calling--one person even yelled at me on the phone while we were hurrying there. When we arrived, our server rushed us through the meal and ba

This is one of the best sushi places around! Love it and the staff! The quality is great and worth the price! Place is very quaint and Japanese style.
Authentic and absolutely fantastic.
All the servers are all smile and so courteous. Another great find and a must try for all that seek high quality fish and sushi makers. Only wish it was a bit closer to us

This place is one of those "steal" omakase you would see in a Japan reel, except it's in the bay. This establishment is a good starter for those who never experienced omakase and don't want to spend $300 a seat. Ignore "Es

I made reservations for dinner with a couple of friends since we wanted to try their $63 omakase. It came with 8 pieces, and everything was incredibly fresh! We weren't full from the omakase, so we decided to order a few hand rolls each on the s
Very good sushi.
We had the 8-piece omakase ($63) by the bar and draft asahi by the glass and the night was just amazing! If you don't eat much probably the set plus a drink would be sufficient for a meal but if you are a big eater I recommend ordering extra fro

Premium Japanese cuisine in the Bay Area.
I have been to Japan a few times experienced many high-end Japanese food and Sushi Maruyama is comparable to those in Japan mainland. Service is great, Japanese style service to details. Pricey but strongly recommended for premium quality and servi

I've been wanting to try Sushi Maruyama forever, and it did not disappoint. The A5 wagyu carpaccio was easily the star of the night...melty, rich, and perfectly balanced with a pop of yuzu and a delicious added crunch. I could've ordered a

I was really excited for this place but was a little underwhelmed when I got there. I booked this place a week beforehand since it gets booked really fast and walk in can be hard. I ordered a variety of nigiri, Japanese omelette with eel, and an oto

This might be the best sushi for the dollar in California.
The ingredients are all outstanding and the chef adds little creative flairs that don't detract from a classic experience. The $54 omakase is a steal. Could easily be 2x. The Hokkaido uni is outstanding and while pricey will transport you for a momen

For aesthetics alone, this place was perfect for the price point. It truly reminded me of my experience in Japan except with an American twist. They had a bunch of r&b slow jams playing from the stereo. I loved it! However, I know that it's not e
The second visit was even better.

Great Experience!
We’e heard about this place and were pleased to have the opportunity to visit. I understand that Sam isn’t there anymore but we had a great experience, nonetheless. We each ordered the omakase and a few other nigiri from the day’s specials. I a
Connect with users posting reservations for Sushi Maruyama San Mateo
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Sushi Maruyama San Mateo. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sushi Maruyama San Mateo at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sushi Maruyama San Mateo page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 now uses their connections at Sushi Maruyama San Mateo to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CoolestCough45 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CoolestCough45 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sushi Maruyama San Mateo!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
