Very cute place for sushi in a casual setting. We ordered a bunch of appetizer and they were both aesthetically beautiful and tasty. Highlights were the Dash Taco for visuals and Cartilage Karage for taste. For sushi, we ordered the crunchy roll and the sakura roll. The former was really good but the latter was a bit disappointing.

First time here. Ordered two types of nigiri and both were underwhelming, don’t know if it was a one off incident. The rice was not properly sticking to the nigiri piece, and fell apart as soon as we picked them up. The nigiri slices were very thin too. The shishito was decent and you can’t really go wrong with it. The aburi saba was decent and nothing special. The good ones were the ika-uni and the baked scallops tapas but too tiny portions. price point was high for everything given the quality in general was average . I would not be overly eager to return.

Skinniest nigiri I have ever seen. Service good place cool. Tapas good but don’t go for nigiri unless u want very small quantity for still very expensive price. Barely anything was not happy

Visited DASH for a friend’s birthday dinner without a reservation on a Wednesday night. We didn’t have to wait long and were seated pretty quickly. The space is pretty small but didn’t feel too cramped even though there it was pretty busy at the time.

We came here for a date night when we couldn’t find a sushi restaurant that would seat us. We were lucky to get in without a reservation, but didn’t know what to expect. We were blown away by the unique style of meals, the quality of their fish, and the portions. For a tapas style Japanese restaurant, the prices and size of meals were very reasonable. The staff was also very attentive even though the restaurant was packed. This is probably one of our favorite sushi restaurants in San Mateo. I highly recommend coming!

Top secret sushi is legit. Delicious and different. The vegetarian dragon sushi was pretty good option too. Wasabi is fresh!

This place has incredible value for the quality of the sushi. Highly recommend ordering the Omakase. The taco and carpaccio tapas were solid fillers to round out the meal.
