good for sake bombs, less good for fish. This place is usually packed with Stanford kids doing Sake bombs. If you're in the mood for that, then you should definitely go here. Otherwise, Kan Pai has better fish. That said, if you've decided you're definitely staying on University Ave., then its a better bet than Sushi Tomo.…

Great food at a great price. This place is definitely a very particular place in the Palo Alto area. Before 7:30pm, it isn't much more than just a standard japanese/sushi restaurant with a very wide menu selection. After 7:30, the restaurant goes absolutely nuts, turning the inside into a club type atomosphere complete with fog makers, laser lights, discoballs, etc. Often times, the crowds get so large there is a huge line of people waiting outside. Be advised though, if you are under 21, you have to arrive before 7:30 otherwise they will not let you in. The food here is very good. Don't expect something absolutely amazing, but for the price, it is extremely good. There is a HUGE variety of sushi that you can order as well as a decently extensive menu of other japanese food. The bento box meals are a great value since you get a very large portion of great food for just $11. Katsu dishes here are absolutely enormous too. This is definitely a place I try to go to atleast once every couple months because its such a great place to unwind with its club like atmosphere.…
