Sushi Sam's - Best Sushi in the world?

After landing at SFO after a very long morning at LAX (you can read about it in this post) I decided it was time to have sushi - at 3PM…

Why not. I left 101 and drove up in San Mateo to go to what has been my favorite sushi place since I think 1993, Sushi Sam’s.

Sam himself was of course behind the counter and after having my normal sushi (ikura with quail eggs, toro, hamachi, sam special hand roll and bonito) I asked Sam for something that he chose. You can see it below. Salmon and butterfish.

Wow, although I go there with high expectations, I am always surprised over how good this place is.

Not cheap, but I did pick some expensive pieces. Worth the price though.

At 3PM there was of course no line, but if you go in the evenings, I can recommend being there early. More people than I know this place…
