Ari Sushi & Tendon

What a delightful experience at Ari Sushi! It is such a clean, modern, and well designed space. Stopped by for a quick lunch for 1 (treated myself) and had such a wonderful experience from the service, to ambience and especially the food! It was a modern, efficient, omakase style lunch with several courses that were perfectly portioned. Salad, soup, noodles, sashimi and California roll, with a complimentary dessert. The hot tea is self serve in the cart next to the tables, along with a delicious variety of pickled toppings. I walked out super satisfied and can’t wait to be back! Maybe next time I’ll treat my husband ;)

Hands down one of the best tempura I've ever had! 🙌 Everything was fresh, staff is SUPER friendly, and food comes out fairly quick. Tempura, the perfect color, good crunch, perfect sauce soak. Shrimp and calamari ring cooked to firm, but tender, perfect. Veggies still crisp, heated just enough to get their natural sweetness out.

Their Tendon is super awesome. I have never had such a good Japanese tendon in the bay area. The sushi is fresh and free hot tea, free dessert (siso ice) is super great.
However, their service is something they have to improve. I had seen 3 tables (including myself) waiting for the food. One or few people at the same tables had finished the food and the other one was not showing up. I had to remind them twice. I hope it will be better next time when I am back here again.

What a gem! Everything about this place was great. The service, ambiance, and especially food was spot on.

We got the softshell crab tendon bowl (fried tempura) and it was super tasty with perfectly cooked rice.

We also got the shrimp tempura roll which hit the spot.

I will definitely be back!

Definitely one of the best Japanese restaurant around this area. Good service, nice food and unbeatable price. All servers are super nice, even with mask on, you can see their smiles through their eyes!

My only suggestion for tendon is, if sauce can come on the side.

I will be back for sure
