"I went to Sushi Sam's with a few friends for dinner on a weekday. From what I've heard, you have to call them and make a reservation ahead of time. They don't have an online reservation system. The place was busy when we went there. My friend and I tried their omakase and also ordered some other dishes separately. Their omakase price is not mentioned on the menu, so you'll have to check the prices with the staff when you are there. The omakase includes 8 pieces of nigiri and a homemade dessert (you get to pick your desseet). If you have any allergies, then you can tell the staff, and they can substitute that for a different nigiri option for your omakase. Our omakase was $70 per person for 8 pieces of nigiri and a dessert. Each piece of nigiri came with a thick cut of fresh fish. Our omakase included 1. Rosy seabass 2. Wild yellow tail 3. Bonito 4. Smoked Spanish mackerel 5. Bluefin tuna 6. Black cod 7. Mackerel pike 8. Uni 9. Chestnut cream roll cake (season dessert) Every nigiri in the omakase was delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised by the dessert. I'm not a big chestnut fan, but this dessert was really good. The flavor of the chestnut wasn't overpowering, and the cake was light. I also tried their unagi, albacore, and hamachi nigiri. Albacore and hamachi nigiri were extra salty. A5 wagyu nigiri was good, but it came with a thin slice of wagyu beef. The chili dog (spicy tuna) was pretty good as well. Overall, it's a great sushi restaurant to try in the Bay area if you haven't already."
