Best, meaning best without regard to price? There are a number of very good high-end sushiya in the area (not compared to Japan, though). The best I've had was sitting at the sushi bar at Ikenohana (it's different if ordered from the table) in Cupertino but most certainly Hamasushi in Cupertino deserves a look if you are considering the south bay.
It's been my observation that the best ones will have the least selection, too. Look for small rice and big fish, also.San Francisco Bay Area, CA
Best Sushi In South Bay?

Both are reasonably priced. > Don't you mean Sushi Sam's on 3rd in downtown San Mateo? Both Sushi Sam's and Toshi's are good. Toshi's can be very expensive.

It's Menlo Park -- the border of the cities (and counties) is San Francisquito Creek, which runs along the north side of the Stanford shopping center and crosses El Camino Real a few yards north of where Alma hits it.

I was very disappointed with their miso soup. It wasn't bad, but it tasted like they'd added butter. Ack. And the wasabi mashed potatoes? Pass...
