    Very good sushi. Best I've had in San Mateo so far. Small place, but highly recommended.

    This is the best place for sushi we've found in the mid-peninsula area for the money. The rolls are very tasty, the portions are generous and the prices are cheap considering what you get. Very good spicy tuna rolls. Not the most extensive menu you'll find, but what they do, they do well. Beware, it's pretty small and gets very crowded around dinner time, so make sure to get there early!

    We go to this place a lot and recently had two very unpleasant experience in a row. Last week, we found a live bug in the salad. Nobody was around us to help, and I had to take the salad downstairs to show it to a waitress. The response I got was quite rude. Today we went back and after waiting for a while outside, we were seated by a waitress. ...

    Best Japanese Restaurant in Bay Area Hands Down. Ambience may not be fancy, but service is decent. Food portion and quality is excellent. Only Japanese restaurant we go to in the area. And to top it all off its authentic japanese!!!(Hard to come by these days, trust me!)

  • great Japanese restaurant
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/13/06
    I started coming to Hotaru five years ago, and even though I now live in the South Bay, I'll drive up to have dinner there.
