Taki Nori Hand Roll Bar

Taki Nori Hand Roll Bar is a Japanese restaurant in San Mateo, California.

Taki Nori Hand Roll Bar makes hand rolls the starting point for exploring Japanese food in downtown San Mateo. We like the variety within that focus: spicy bluefin tuna, yellowtail, Norwegian salmon, and salmon belly with avocado and crunchy garlic each bring a different combination to the menu. Shrimp tempura with snow crab adds another appealing direction. The hand-roll sets are useful when choosing just one feels limiting. Different combinations bring together seafood, shrimp with cucumber, unagi, scallop, or sukiyaki beef, allowing a meal to cover several fillings. Sashimi, small plates, and bento boxes broaden the options beyond hand rolls. For a San Mateo sushi outing, Taki Nori's draw is a menu that offers both straightforward fish selections and layered combinations, with sets that make it easy to try a range of them.
