The Best Sushi in Mountain View, by the Record

Mountain View has sent exactly one place into the record so far: Katsu, honored by San Francisco Chronicle.

  1. Rank 1. Katsu

    Edomae Sushi

    Free jazz plays while you eat aged fish at an eight-seat bar, which tells you everything about the vibe before the first course lands. This is an Edomae-style omakase counter in Mountain View where the chef, a veteran named in the restaurant's own title, treats restraint as a philosophy: a piece of ikura arrives with zero seasoning, letting the ocean do the talking. The San Francisco Chronicle named it among the Bay Area's best sushi restaurants.
