Tokie’s Sushi in San Mateo is an absolute gem. The food is consistently fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor…from the sushi to the cooked dishes, everything is done with care and attention to detail. You can truly taste the quality in every bite.
And don’t skip the craft cocktails—they’re just as impressive as the food. Creative, well-balanced, and perfectly made, they pair incredibly well with the menu and really elevate the whole dining experience.
What truly sets Tokie’s apart, though, is the people. The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The staff is just as amazing, friendly, attentive, and always making you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, which makes the experience even better.
If you’re looking for outstanding sushi, excellent craft cocktails, and top-notch service, Tokie’s Sushi is a must. Highly recommend and can’t wait to keep coming back.

Good food and great service! The nabeyaki udon was probably our favorite – the broth was flavorful, light, and refreshing. Everything was good though. Very clean, good vibes, had the basketball game on.

Cannot say enough great things about Tokie’s! We find ourselves coming here more and more. Everything here is just done right. It has the dining area with bar seating, frequently playing sports. But it’s sectioned off so it doesn’t impact the diners. Cocktails are great, the sake is great, the food is great, the prices are great, it’s all just great! Our service is always fantastic (Sho is the best) and you can tell the owner not only cares about his establishment, but also his community.

Good Japanese dishes and great ambience atmosphere.
The restaurant is located far away from the crowded downtown area. We came before dinner time. The restaurant is decorated in Japanese style with dim lighting. Each seating table is spacious.
We only ordered 4 dishes. I thought the best were the agedashi tofu and the fresh sashimi. The stir fried chicken teriyaki noodles were okay, but the beef udon was a bit off taste.

We love Tokie’s and have been regular users since the mid-80s, when it occupied a tiny space in Charter Square in Foster City. They expanded their space significantly but were the casualty of redevelopment. Their old location was displaced by a primary school. The newer location (on 4th Ave in downtown San Mateo) has very nice ambience but the parking can be a challenge during peak demand times like Friday and Saturday dinners. We bring many of our friends to Tokie’s and the response is always very favorable.

Until our dishes arrived I thought this place was slightly pricey. But the food was very good and a fair value and totally recommended trying. The places feels dignified, the host is impeccable – she was friendly and knowledgeable, the server was not up to her level – he was friendly but not quite vested in providing great service nor being fully familiar or finding out about dishes he was unsure of. He was very pleasant, but requests were forgotten and needed reminders that sort of thing. Regardless totally try this place because the food scrumptious.
Oh the chairs are armless and accessible and vegan and vegetarian choices were comfortably accommodated by the menu.

We arrived around 5:30pm and was seated immediately. Dragon roll was my favorite. The cloudy saki is always fun. Great customer service.

Tokie’s has a friendly staff and delicious food. I’ve been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. It’s best to make a reservation, as Tokies is popular and can get busy, especially for dinner.

My friend and I ordered gyoza for the appetizer and beef and chicken sukiyaki nabemono for the entrée. The fried gyoza was very soggy instead of crispy. It was also extra salty. The sukiyaki comes with a bowl of white rice, which feels unnecessary because nabemono already includes vermicelli noodles (not a complaint but an observation). The soup is sweet. I have never had sweet stew before, so I was excited to try it, but now I know that it’s not for me. My friend got the chicken sukiyaki, and she thought it was decent.
The place was packed, so we were seated at the bar. There are garages in the area and surprisingly they were all free so we parked in one of the garages.

Best sushi spot on the peninsula. The food, the drinks, the ambiance, the service…it all makes for an incredibly fun evening. Can’t think of a restaurant with a happier vibe than Tokie’s. Family run, family friendly, a cherished staple of the San Mateo community. The owners, Diane and Vic, are wonderfully kind, welcoming, and hardworking folks. It’s not uncommon for them to stop by your table, say hi, and sometimes drop off an extra little treat if you’re a frequent diner. Dine at a table, at the sushi bar, or at the drinks bar, which has a TV, making it a great spot to watch a Warriors game.
