I can't get enough sushi, and this place hit the spot. Wasnt exactly the best I've had, but still very good. A bit pricy, but good food in all.

Ne of the most creative restaurants I ever went. I'm still exploring after my forth visit. Dishes I recommend: higashi west roll for sure is the most unique one, yaki udon, oyster shooter, pork chop, palo alto roll, spider roll, and, don't forget the original sashimi if you are a fish lover. Save some space for its sake cream brulee, or chocolate tart, they are great!

Sadly, Higashi West is no more. As a replacement, I recommend Naomi Sushi in Menlo Park. It's more traditional, but Iwa-san is a fabulous chef. If anything, they have a better selection of sake.

Higashi West is serves large pieces of reasonably good nigiri. If you want authentic Japanese environment, go elsewhere. If you are open to trying it out as is, it is worth a look.

don't bother. over-priced and not good. for the quality, you could get the same rolls for half the price elsewhere. the entrees, japanese "tapas style", were unimaginative and boring. i could cook better. when we complained, we were asked if wanted a doggie bag. i'd pay their prices, but only if the food were excellent. this is a fusion of someone's dabbling in so-so homecooking. $150 for four - i would have been happier eating at the burger king down the street.

For those who complaints, you should know it's not a traditional cause the name is ' Higashi (meaning east in Japanese) WEST!!!)

This is not a Japanese restaurant, but a feeble attempt at fusion cuisine, and it is expensive. Favored by non-Asian friends, perhaps because the ingredients are of good quality, but the balance is way off, and the prices are too high. If I want fusion Japanese, I will stick with Roy Yamaguchi's restaurants in Hawaii.

The food here was terrible. I have never seen any sushi that was so large! There is no real Japanese restaurant that will allow a chef to make it so big. Who can eat something so big and enjoy it. There was too much rice that was underneath the sushi. If you want to be full from sushi, I recommend going there, but if you want to go there for the taste, I would recommend going to Hamasushi or Sushizen.
