Excellent food, excellent service. I have visiting Higuma in RWC for over 20 years and have great meals every time. The sushi is particularly good, fresh and tasty.

Higuma Japanese Restaurant is such a gem! The place is super cute with both indoor and outdoor seating, and they even have some private parking in the back, which is a big plus. The food was amazing, and I have to say, the mochi mango ice cream and cheesecake were sooo good—definitely a must-try! Just a heads-up, there’s a $20 minimum purchase per person if you’re dining as a group of four. Also, if you’re planning to go on a busy evening, calling ahead for a reservation is a good idea since it can get crowded.

My parents ate here while my mother was pregnant with me, and I continue to eat here because of the high quality of the food. The atmosphere is lovely to this day, and I would highly reccomend it for its comfortable outdoor seating. The dishes are all great, its a bit pricy but the food is worth it!

Cute cozy authentic Japanese place. They're only open for lunch on Wed and Thursday. Forgot to take photos of the sushi, but it was all really good. The grilled gindara was really good - tender and lightly seasoned. It seemed really fresh. Enjoyed the house salad in addition to a variety of sushi and rolls. Hope to try more stuff next time; they have an extensive menu!

Higuma is an authentic sushi joint that's usually not extremely crowded because of its location (it's in Redwood City so more of a "non-foodie" area). Although parking in the back is limited I haven't had problems finding parking in the parking lot yet. You do see more non-Asian clients here than other sushi restaurants but don't let that deter you because it's more of a function of location than testament of non-authenticity. They tried to accommodate more customers by having an outdoor extension so if you don't have reservations on busy days you may be able to be seated outdoors. They have a wide selection of sushi especially fish from Japan than many local sushi restaurants. I wouldn't say their sushi is the most fresh I've had but they are good and fresh enough. What I don't like is
