MJ’s is me and my friends go to dinner spot in the Peninsula! The cuts of fish are always fresh and buttery, the hand rolls are generously packed, and the price is unbeatable! The value for the quality is honestly hard to beat. The chef(s) are so talented as well, making sure each bit is perfect, and also being able to prepare exceptional plates exceptionally quick! Being able to go for a quality delicious, but fast meal in a hectic day is such a privilege.
Both the front and back of house staff are genuinely so kind and welcoming and they keep us coming back for more than just great food. Most especially, our usual server, Tabo, who always greets, makes sure we’re well taken care of, and remembers our regular orders. Truly worth checking out if you are ever in the Foster City area!

Update: Tabo recommended us to try their karaage — mind blowing-ly juicy and succulent. Genuinely some of the best I have ever had, our complements to the Chef. Will be adding this to our go-to orders.

We are longtime customers of this restaurant, so it’s disappointing to see how things have changed under the new management. Our latest visit felt like a clear downgrade in both quality and value.

The portions across our dishes were smaller than on previous visits, even though prices haven’t changed. The biggest letdown was the deluxe chirashi and sashimi set, which we order every time. This time, the fish slices were significantly thinner, and the chirashi came with far less rice than what we’ve consistently received before.

Here are photos comparing this visit to ones from the last couple of months to clearly show the difference in portions and presentation. (Black plates are recent visit, blue plates are previous visits)

We used to recommend this place to others, but after this visit, we’re not sure we can anymore.
