1. A sushi spot in San Mateo that rewards you for looking past the sushi menu. The chef has been around long enough to have serious regulars, and he keeps inventing new reasons for them to stay loyal. The chirashi bowls alone are worth the trip, and the lunch crowd has quietly figured out that the chicken curry is something special. Casual, neighborhood-y, and the kind of place where the best things aren't always on the first page of the menu.
