Whenever we're in San Mateo, we stop by a rather unassuming restaurant, Usagi. It means "rabbi" in Japanese. Chef Soichi San hatched the idea of this restaurant, which features American comfort food, with Japanese and Italian flavors.
Once you walk inside, you will notice the clean and modern environment.
Many families with smaller children frequent this small eatery. They like the menu, the wooden floors and the "like home" atmosphere. There's no problem from spilled food or drink, which are easily cleaned.
My wife sampled the sausages with a curry chicken that melted in her mouth. She didn't offer me any...
She also splurged on a Hamachi and Maguro tuna salad. Note the green wasabi sauce, covering the Hamachi. Yummmm.
In comparison my linguini dish was very different. Smothered with clams and spiced with sliced dry pepper, I finished every last noodle and clam.
So try this restaurant, which welcomes you with a large OPEN sign on a rabbit:
Usagi
505 Second Avenue
San Mateo, CA 94401
Ph. (650) 373-2600
Note, I have no financial or other connection to this restaurant, except that it's one of my favorites.
