    I honestly think Odori is such a hidden gem in palo alto! Their food is so fresh and delicious, and at a very affordable price. Me and my friends ordered the gyoza, spicy garlic karaage, chirashi bowl, ramen, salmon mango roll, and salmon kama! I really liked the spicy garlic karaage as our appetizer; it's not spicy at all and has a sweet and tangy taste to it. It's not really like your typical japanese crispy karaage, but definitely saucy and delicious. The chirashi bowl is a must if you love fresh sashimi. The bowl is extra delicious because they also season the rice with sauce and furukake! I got the ramen, and this may be biased because i love noodles, but i thought it was a very solid ramen. There's actually a decent amount of ingredients and a lot of noodles. The salmon and mango roll is one of my go to rolls when I come here because the combo is so unique but it pairs so well, because the mango adds some sweetness to the rolls. If you love fatty salmon, you have to get the salmon kama, it's so fatty, juicy, and meaty. The place is a bit small for a restaurant, but there are still a decent amount of tables. I think this place is family owned and is quite short staffed, but our food still came out punctually. The waiter was super friendly and nice and gave us honest recommendations. Overall definitely think this is a hidden gem in palo alto and would recommend to everyone that loves sashimi and sushi!

    Quiet, small restaurant. We ordered sashimi, sushi, tofu, and mochi, and they were all delicious. Minus one star because it's just not that nice- the chopsticks are single use and the water cups are plastic. The service was okay, since we were the only ones there.

    Great service and incredible quality products. We had a table of ten, had pre-ordered some rolls, and they were very accommodating and I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

    More like a 3.5. Tbh when we first walked in I was very worried. The restaurant was empty save for one other table and the decor feels old and yellow. The cooked dishes aren't worth getting but I was pleasantly surprised by the nigiri.
