Where to eat in San Mateo?

San Mateo is lucky to enjoy some unusual and unique dining options for a range of budgets. For tasty, budget eats, head to Nini's Coffee Shop, a casual yet classy corner spot featuring hearty American breakfasts, lunches, and snacks in the classic dining room or outdoor patio. This unpretentious eatery serves some notorious Cajun pork chops which are well worth digging into. Or, for something more high-end, there are several fantastic Japanese restaurants to try, such as Sushi Yoshizumi and Sushi Sam's Edomata. More for special occasions than for a midweek family meal, these two fierce rivals battle it out to be the very best Japanese dining experiences in the area, and if the budget allows, make sure you book in advance!
