One of the best hidden spot in Palo Alto. Staffs are super friendly and attentive. They have a very good list of fish and we decided to order off the menu over their Omakase. The mushroom tempura is crispy on the outside and soft and juicy inside. The sushi are prepared fresh cut, toasted, flamed, sauced. Very tasty. Each piece are good size with small amount of rice at the bottom, that’s how we like it. There are many sakes to choose from and the prices are very reasonable.

- Made a reservation by phone a few weeks in advance. They confirmed the reservation the night before by phone call - Reserved an outside seat but when we got there we were informed the seat may be hot on a summer evening and we were given the option to sit inside. We chose to sit inside and were glad we did! Enjoyed the atmosphere. There are a few seats at the bar and then ~6 small tables inside -We got the omakase- we were impressed with the variety of fish, the unique flavor, and how quickly the food came out. There was very little wait between the courses -Had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the food

Excellent quality Japanese food here. We tried the Omakase menu and everything was very good. Service was prompt and well spaced. You need a reservation on weekends for sure as it was very busy when we arrived.

This spot was recently discovered as a hidden gem of a sushi place for me. The sushi was simply delicious and incredibly fresh! Each roll was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Every bite was a delightful experience. The staff was lovely.

A Cozy Spot with Seriously Good Food Went to Daigo with my cousin last week and had such a great time. The vibe is super cozy—perfect for catching up or just enjoying a chill night out. I went for the omakase, and honestly, it was totally worth it. The price felt fair, and the quality of the food was top-notch. They’ve got a nice sake selection too. I tried the one the staff recommended and it was delicious—smooth and easy to drink. Don’t leave without trying their house-made desserts! The ice cream, in particular, is amazing—really interesting flavors, not too sweet, and just the right way to wrap up the meal. Can’t wait to go back!

Hamachi shots were insane. The tofu was some of the best I’ve ever had, super soft and fried just a bit for the perfect thin, crispy texture. The sauce for the tofu was also so yum!!! Crab was pretty good, though both the crab and tofu got soggy quickly due to the sauce. The o toro nigiri was honestly the best thing from this dinner. SO. TENDER. Salmon toro and Ebodai (butter fish) were also tender, but the o toro was unmatched. Honestly could’ve passed on the yellowtail maki, it was very rice-y but still good. Yuzu cheesecake was a great way to end this magical meal. We are moved.

This is a hidden gem. Only a few seats indoors but there is an outdoor area with heating lamps in a tight space. Ordered the omakase and had a wonderful dining experience. Sushi is fresh and delicious! Every entree was perfect and left the restaurant fully satisfied.
