Service was really bad. The waiter was upset at my group because we had 2 in our party come late and we asked for an additional table to accommodate them. This was our bad, my friends were really apologetic for this, but the service staff was not having it.

1. First, he intentionally *slammed* the additional table onto ours. Our group looked up at him startled and he raised his hands up and shrugged. Yikes.
2. Later, he came to our table and told us this was a one-time accomodation and he will not do it again. We got it, he is upset.
3. We had to explicitly ask for water and utensils for the two latecomers.
3. Speculation, but our service took extremely long. Our full party was seated by 12.45PM and our first plate of rolls only arrived at 1.30PM. The two tables after us had their dishes served first.
4. The waitress came to our table and told us at 1.54PM that they were closing at 2PM and that we had to leave by then. Because service was so slow, this happened BEFORE our last plate of rolls arrived. They basically expected us to finish our last dish in 5 minutes.

I honestly think that the service staff was trying to punish my group for our table request for the duration of our dining experience.

Pretty bad experience here. Stood in line 40 min to be told they can't seat us. No one took the effort to inform us that there's a possibility that they will be closed by the time our turn comes. At 8: 25 guy comes and says maybe you can order take out without even telling us we only have 5 min to order take out as well. Not coming again

We were a party of six arriving at different times (15 minute gap between first and last). They were nice enough to give us a table early, but seemed to start punishing us for not arriving together afterwards. The server kept saying "This is the last time I'm accommodating this, guys" and overall felt a little hostile while keeping a smile on his face. Then, we were punished by being made to wait for our order while everyone who came after us got their food. Towards the last 15 minutes of closing time, another server came in and told us that they leave for lunch in 15 minutes, while we were still waiting for our food and we got our last dish served 5 minutes before that deadline. The food was decent but I felt pressured the whole time eating there.

The sushi rolls, veg sushi rolls and nigiri were all amazing! Would highly recommend this place to groups that want both veg and non veg sushi!

My family just loves Oh Baby Sushi! Of course we all have our favorite dishes, but I suspect you will love anything that you order here. And they offer REAL wasabi! Such a treat!

It's also a wonderful treat not to have to fix dinner some days. They are often incredibly busy, and don't take reservations, There can be quite a backup of people waiting for takeout as well as for a table. They've raised their prices, and perhaps that will thin the crowd a bit?
They've updated their menu, and included new drinks, as well as some cocktails! Unfortunately, like many restaurants, they are using QR code menus that you need to read and order via your phone. They do still have paper menus, but they are not current and you will miss quite a few offerings if you don't use the QR code.
Also, If you use a wheelchair, it might be a bit awkward and perhaps impossible for indoor seating, But they do also have outdoor seating which might work just fine. I would recommend calling first to find out how wheelchair friendly the restaurant is. To me it looks small and tight for getting around. There is disabled parking very close by.

Oh Baby Sushi is also reasonably kid friendly. I've seen strollers parked at outside tables, but the space is pretty tight. There are a few items on a children's menu.

So many options for vegans and vegetarians! And the options were incredibly good! If you don’t eat meat and still want to “go out for sushi” this is your place.

The service was great too!

Amazing sushi for vegetarians; best sushi I’ve ever had and always go for it when I’m in the peninsula. Don’t miss. Perfect!

The Udon is really good here, big noodles, lots of flavor and options. Other food pretty good too, but there are some things don't make this restaurant a top go to dinning spot for me.

Dine in is mediocre with OK service. If you like cramped in dining, you won't mind, but it's not my thing.

Take out isn't predictable. They say 30 - 60 minutes depending on what day. Sometimes it's pretty quick, so plan on getting there early if you want your food hot. Expect to wait without a lot of interaction with the service.

Kind, attentive and quick service- but average food.

There are a lot of vegan and vegetarian options on the menu, which is much appreciated! However, these options are either similarly priced or more expensive than the regular sushi options. There’s really no reason why vegetables should cost more than fish. The specialty rolls are priced similarly to those at shizen, but don’t taste as good.

That being said, it’s a an aesthetic spot with a lot of people of foot traffic!

Seriously tasty and genuinely innovative vegetarian sushi! But cramped seating and long wait with no option to reserve.some servers can be rude! But the food mostly make it worth it!

Nice little neighborhood sushi spot! Busy at 7pm on a Sunday but we were able to walk in and grab a a table. Highly recommend the oh baby roll and creamy scallop roll - melt in your mouth! Gyoza was fresh and hot. The watermelon juice you could tell was homemade. Quick service for being really busy!

They have a few tables indoors and more tables outdoors. Lots of parking. You order via a QR code on the table and serve yourself water and also pay online so you barely interact with the staff.

Easily some of the best sushi I’ve had in the Bay Area. The food was out of this world. Additionally, the entire front house staff was excellent. The manager who was working the evening of 3/31 is an absolute pro.

The ginger and the wasabi were not fresh. Ginger was dry, and it felt like I was eating paper. Gyoza was decent. Mango salmon roll lacked the mango flavor. For some reason, I was having a hard time swallowing these rolls. The waiter was nice, but when we needed his attention, we didn't get any, and when we didn't need any, we got a lot of attention from him. Felt a bit expensive for the quality of food.

Very disappointing sushi place. They refuse to do substitutions. I am a vegetarian allergic to avacados, and literally has only a couple of options. The big daddy and veggie bomb roll were quite average. Have had much better vegetarian sushi in lots of places in Bay Area. The vegetarian ramen was very spicy at medium spice level. Don’t understand the high prices when the place was an average sit down.

This is a hidden gem Great sushi! Awesome service. The atmosphere was a bit underwhelming, even for a little place tucked into a strip mall. Also, the temperature inside was uncomfortably cold to the point where I wanted to hug my miso soup instead of drink it.

Best place for veggie sushi after shizen. We tried the mango sushi roll, avocado cucumber roll and they were delicious. The spicy veggie roll and the veggie bomb both are fried with tempura and are awesome. Would recommend. The restaurant closes early and is a little crowded. But other than that absolutely delicious

So far I have not had an order ready to pick up on time, and the hostess desk is not roomy enough for two people to wait at the same time. The quality of the Fish has always been good, but taking tempura home it always loses that crunch when it comes in a plastic container.
