Hoyaru

Good place to grab a quick and yummy lunch of Japanese fares. The lunch specials are very reasonable priced - and available in a number combo varieties. To avoid hunting for street parking, park in the garage on the street behind the restaurant - then you can enter through the restaurant back door.

Descent price Japanese food. Came here for lunch. Got #7 salmon karma set (most of the time, they are out of salmon karma, and if you substitute for hamachi karma, it is $7 extra). For sushi rolls, I like their geisha roll, samurai roll, and dragon roll. The price for sushi roll here is descent, about $12 per roll. You can park on the street or there is a parking structure at the back of the restaurant. Came here on Sunday right when the open, no wait. By 12:20 there is already a line.

My girlfriend grew up in San Mateo eating Hotaru. Do not expect high-end sushi or Japanese food from this place. This is a family oriented sushi restaurant that have a few decent dishes. Geisha, Ninja, Dragon rolls are all pretty good. Wait is very minimum. There is a parking structure right behind the restaurant. If you cannot find street parking you can park in the parking structure and get to the restaurant using its back doors.

Solid Japanese food but nothing stands out. Out of chicken teriyaki, chicken karaage, california roll, and tuna sashimi that was served as part of our lunch specials, the california roll was my favorite. There are always people waiting during lunch but not too long of a wait for a table. Portions were pretty generous as well.
