Sushi Sams, in downtown San Mateo, is incredibly popular - and with good reason. There is always a line out the door, and even with their expanded seating, the place manages to be packed on weekend evenings. I'm a big fan of their Spider Rolls, California Specials (california roll w/eel), and their tempura is tasty, too. I don't know much about their sashimi, but friends say its great! Even my sister-in-law (who is from Japan), likes to go to Sushi Sams when she is in town!
