"Amami Sushi is a casual Japanese dining spot that is most well known for their omakase set. There are multiple Amami Sushi locations, with this one being on the busy El Camino Real right by the border of Millbrae. They have a small parking lot just for their restaurant. The inside features several tables as well as counter seating by the sushi bar. I have dined here on multiple occasions for dinner as well as ordered takeout from here. The dining experience inside tends to be a bit mixed, usually depending on how busy they are at the time. Even if there is a table available, I have found that it can take a while before they clean it up and allow for seating. The same can be said after ordering food where it can take a short or long time for the food to arrive on different occasions. They seem to get a lot of delivery orders depending on the day and at times, that can make the dine-in experience not as good overall. As for the food here, all the sashimi tastes fresh and very good. I recommend their omakase which may sound pricey at $42, but is worth it and affordable compared to other omakase which can go for well over a hundred dollars. The omakase includes a nice variety of nigiri with generous cuts of sashimi. They add a little bit of garnish on some of them which gives them a nice little kick. The wasabi here is actually great as well. The ratio of fish to rice is just right to make the entire meal not overly filling and full of flavor. Besides their omakase, their set meals, rolls, and combos are certainly not bad as well. I've tried their teriyaki chicken which is tender and flavorful. Their sashimi combo also has a nice selection of thick cuts of sashimi."
