Walked in randomly on a week day. Cost me over 100 for three dishes - sashimi, chawan mushi with truffle, and black cod. Soso tastes. I would try nigiris and other hot dishes next time. Phoenix Hiro Sushi definitely has more reasonable prices for nigiri's, but Daigo is already not on the pricy end in the Bay Area

This place offers amazing food at an amazing price! If you are looking for excellent and quality sushi, this is the place. It is not too expensive, so you won't feel your wallet getting thinner. Service is amazing; the waiter is very helpful and kind. She explains the menu so well. The restaurant itself makes it feel like an authentic omakase Japanese restaurant. Would highly recommend.

I came here for their omakase to celebrate a birthday. Inside is small (reminded me of Japan) but they have extra tables on the outside. Still, I would definitely recommend getting a reservation first. For $110, their omakase comes out with a good amount of food, and each dish tasted amazing. We ordered a couple more things off the menu and dessert. It was pricey but I would come back again for their quality.

We went here on a Saturday night as we were able to get last minute reservations at 8 pm. The table was available a little bit before 8 pm, and we were seated inside (very thankful for that as it was a cold night). We ordered the omakase for $110 a person - I thought it was a good value. If you are a nigiri person that emphasizes the sushi rice, I don't think this will be your place, but you are able to focus more on the fish, which is good. To be honest, the nigiri is not very memorable, but man, this is pretty Texas priced in Palo Alto! The best of the menu in my opinion was the chawanmushi (egg custard) and yuzu cheesecake dessert. I enjoyed it so much, I asked for the source. Unfortunately, straight from Japan :( Had a good night here - thank you!

Daigo is a hidden gem in Palo Alto that delivers an exceptional sushi experience without breaking the bank. The freshness of the fish is outstanding, and every bite feels carefully crafted with high-quality ingredients. The affordability, considering the quality, makes it an even better value for an omakase experience. The service is consistently attentive and friendly, adding a personal touch to the cozy, intimate setting. It's one of my top choices in the South Bay for sushi--perfect for anyone seeking excellent quality and great value!

We came right at opening and were able to get a seat. They had a last minute cancelation so they moved us to the bar/counter! We got the omakase! Surprisingly the price was $110, not bad especially for the area. Everything was sooooo good! Loved all the choices of fish and the side dishes! And things came out at a good pace. Service was great, tea was refilled often and our finished plates were whisked away quickly. Added on the matcha tiramisu and it was amazing! Will have to try to recreate it at home! Can't believe it took us so long to finally try it! But we will be back again soon!

I decided to try their omakase. It was so dang good. I don't think you can find better at that price. I loved it and highly recommend it! Heck, I thought it was so good that I brought my niece and sister two days later. In summary, I recommend their omakase. I loved it. I will be back. :)

The food is spectacular This was a super light dinner since we did pay a lot and was still hungry after, so just mind your wallet. The soft shell crab was really good, love the dashi vinegar and the veggies with it was a great balance. Shishamo was also really delightful with the numbing sansho salt. How do I get this salt ? It's so interesting and a fun surprise. Aburi saba was also really delish, and their ginger taste super fresh. The hand rolls themselves was ok, not as exciting as the rest of the meal. The service was quick and attentive. There's indoor and outdoor sitting that give a nice cozy environment.

This is a favorite of many of my friends who are sushi snobs. Their fish is extremely delicious! I enjoy eating at the bar when with girlfriends. The outdoor seating is nice and has heat lamps so great year round. I guess I don't come here often enough.
