“Love this place.If you say 'service was nice' and then give service two stars, you aren't really being honest, are you? So, perhaps, you need to rethink how you slam your fingers against your phone, yeah?I think there should be a different set of metrics for in-house and delivery or take-out. That said, I have had in-house and delivery (Uber) and stand by my number of stars.First off, the prices are great for what they serve. In this area, you could go to a confidential place and get far less for far more. Second, sure, the rolls might not be as tightly rolled as the ones you find in other places. But they contain a lot of fish and aren't small . . . and did I mention the price (again, let's keep it confidential)? The appetizers are also good. The udon plate was wonderful. The calamari appetizer is simple, yet wonderful. The gyōza are on par for most places like this. And I guess the sake special is a big draw (as I don't partake). Third, the staff are a treat. They greet you with a smile. They say goodbye with a smile. Heck, on one recent visit, the chef/cook/owner(?) sent a plate of free fish to our table. They are busy and you have to wait? You understand that is what happens when places are busy? They aren't profiling you. There is no evil intent. If you are a doof, maybe they just don't want to serve you?All in all, thank goodness they aren't located in what is now downtown Campbell. I hope they remain a hidden treat for those that know. For those that don't, I am lying. And, for those that do and left lame reviews that sounded like you have acid-reflux-criticism-disease and can't wait to waft that stuff at the interwebs, seek help. You might feel better. But, seriously, you aren't (hint: you are the problem that you seek to fix). And you ruin the chance for a place to thrive in an area that tends to crush good places, with good service and prices, in favor of momentarily interesting spots that end up leaving you feeling empty. That's not confidential.Recommended.“
“Great local spot!I love the layout and the decor which feels authentic and cozy. I learned that this place has been with the originally family, who are Japanese, for 40 years. My go to appetizer, if you love albacore and onion, is their Tuna Tataki. It's fresh, flavorful and you get so much fish for the value. I also love their nigiris and rolls which always feels fresh & easy to eat. They also have TVs if you like watching sports . If you're lucky enough to sit at the bar- It definitely feels like a spot where people know you, you have friends and it feels like a place you would frequent. I would recommend : tuna tataki, nigiri , udon and sake!!“
“This is the first Asian restaurant I've found in the South Bay that specifically has gluten-free sushi on the menu. Not just that, but they also have tamari (gluten-free soy) sauce. I appreciate that the owner/chef is that careful and considerate of those of us who need to be gluten-free. I'll definitely be back.Dietary restrictions: Good for gluten-free diners.“
“Disclaimer: the business owner reached out to me wanting to learn how they can do better on an otherwise good first-time impression. Props to you all not satisfied with "just being good" and wanting to improve every possible way they can. With that, they provided me a $5 credit towards my next purchase to apologize for not meeting my expectations. Again, my first time was overall great anyway, so I thank you for the generosity!So with that, I came back for more Sushiritto! Using the Local Kitchens app, I ordered the Latin Ninja with the wasabi aioli on the side. Within 5 minutes the order came! Talk about speedy service! I must say this one was tastier and better than the Fiery Chicken and I love what they have done here. Fresh fish, nice profile of savory and mild wasabi with added chips for the extra crunch. Also the wasabi aioli is a fantastic condiment on the side to apply whenever you want. If you can kind of tell from the photos, it is a bit on the smaller end. Still hungry and having some left over wasabi aioli, I ordered Geisha's Kiss (a not-as-popular item). This one took a bit of a longer wait considering by this point many people ordered online and the people coming in are there for delivery. 15 minutes later listening to some EDM music, my order arrived. And this time, MUCH BIGGER! I do not know what it is, but at this point I had a challenge ahead of me.Don't worry though, I thought Geisha's Kiss is now my new favorite as it has all the hallmarks of a great burrito: nice size, nice flavors, nicely portioned, and things falling apart at the bottom end. Seriously, all fantastic burritos have the bottom spilling out. It's the rule. The yellowtail here is fresh, and the sweet tamago (Japanese scrambled eggs) goes well together with the pickled vegetables and crunchy chips. Add in the wasabi aioli makes this some sort of amazing Americanized sushi. Overall, super full, and super happy.“
“I visited this gem on a Sunday and it was busier than I anticipated so I had to wait. Not a big deal and wasn't a long time. Once inside, I was able to order right away. I Iooove mariscos and had a hard time making a choice because everything looked so delicious. I was torn between a vasiloco and Aguachiles. I ultimately decided on a Super Chavela, Aguachiles Tricolor, and a roll of sushi. I can't remember specifically what sushi roll I got because the star of the show was definitely the aguachiles!! The Chavela was ice cold and so refreshing. It did a great job of relieving the heat from the aguachiles. The aguachiles were so fresh and flavorful. I've honestly been craving more ever since and will be back soon for that vasiloco!!!“
“Everything we tasted was delicious and very nicely prepared. Service is very attentive. Yes the price tag is on the higher side but for the quality you get, it is actually very reasonable. And I am speaking after having to try several omakase places in the area, including in San Francisco. Ambience is simple and understated. Highly recommend it.“
“We went on Valentine's Day, not the perfect day because there a lot of couples ahead of us but we're able to secure a table, so that's a good thing. The atmosphere and food was absolutely a steal compare so other fancy sushi place. I loved the Philadelphia Roll and the wife liked the avocado roll. Sushi Roll was to go for quality with a budget in mind.“
“Oh...My...Goodness...this place has BY FAR the best bento boxes Ive ever had. Period. Ever. I personally got their pork belly bento box and when I tell you the flavors melted in my mouth man it melted in my mouth. I never thought Id fall in love with food until I had the pork belly bento box...“
“First, no parking, second, most seating is in a covered outdoor area, 10' from the traffic on Monterey Road. 4 Stars ? In truth, I simply had the plate of fish tacos. Service was good and the Tacos, excellent. Each bite a mouth full of pleasure. I did bring home an order of fruit and shrimp which I'm still too full to face. Chips and salsa ? strange to me. Chips - Not ! 'A' store bought corn tostada - the kind in the store on the shelf in a box next o the box of pre-cooked and formed taco shells. served with a cup of warm broth. Again, strange to me. Not something I would walk across the street for. ( not worth the effort ) - The Taco on the other hand is worth special trip for. I look forward to returning to explore their huge variety of fish and seafood options. They do sell the normal variety of taqueria tacos.“
“Absolutely the best sushi in South Bay. Their fish is so incredibly fresh and high quality that I don't bother with anything else. The Extra Special Nigiri Sushi is what I get almost every time.Parking: If the nearby parking lot is full, I usually park at the parking garage across Castro. It's a short walk away.“
“I'm a SJ native and this is THE SPOT. You will not be disappointed with any plate you choose. From the moment you want in, you always greeted. The service staff is on top of it. The food is bombbbbb!! They have special from Monday-Friday. I'm here at least 2-4 times a week. From seafood to meat and the best drinks! BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN TOWN .“
“Authentic Japanese izakaya with a wide selection of delicious Japanese food, everything from ramen and sashimi to curry and bentos. Lots of great side dishes too, I personally enjoy the natto, sushi to pepper and tsukemono. They also have plenty of Japanese beers and sake. Open pretty late too (11pm) for when you get a late night craving for Japanese food.“
“I ordered takeout through Uber Eats from this place, so can't comment about the service and atmosphere of this place. I got the spicy dragon roll, gyoza and salmon teriyaki entree. The gyoza was standard and it was a slight let down because it wasn't warm, but that's completely on the Uber driver as he had to make a few deliveries on the way. The spicy dragon roll was disappointing, it wasn't spicy at all and the sushi roll's rice didn't appear spot on. The salmon teriyaki was standard and decent. However the miso soup was plain bad, too watery and lacking flavor.“
“Super small but sushi is sooo good and fresh as well as fast and friendly service, we got 3 orders of Nigiri, 6 classic rolls and one specialty roll and only paid 107Vegetarian options: There are a good amount of veggie rollsParking: Small parking lot.“
“We love this place it is our favorite sushi restaurant in san jose. The sushi chef and servers are super nice they remember us and make us feel like family. Super fresh sushi and friendly service. 49er roll is family fave. also kids love the tempura ice cream.“
“this has become my family's go to sushi spot. service is really friendly, we're so regular now they pretty much know our order without asking. the sushi's fresh and delicious, and it's just a simple experience for when you need to scratch the sushi itch.Vegetarian options: there's a few things, but I wouldn't expect anything specialParking: it's in a medium size strip mall so there's usually plenty of spotsKid-friendliness: nothing overtly kid friendly, but also nothing kid prohibitiveWheelchair accessibility: plenty of tables with free standing chairs that could be moved to accommodate a wheelchair“
“I had a good lunch here today. This is a small hole in the wall that serves up good food. I remember coming here when they had a different name and if I remember correctly, this is an upgrade. The staff was attentive and courteous. I enjoyed the special match tea and the bento box. The salmon was fresh and like butter. I was not as big of a fan of the chicken katsu.“
“Hidden gem amazing food reasonably priced great service!! I was blown away by the quality of the fish and overall presentation. It's a small restaurant that many locals were dining in and getting takeout from while we were there. I will definitely be going back next time we are in the area!!“
“We went for dinner. I had a Dragon Roll, and others with me had a Shrimp Tempura Entree and a Bento Box with Beef Teriyaki / Stir Fried Vegetables. For dessert, we had the green tea ice cream and the mochi ice cream. My favorites from the evening were the sushi and the green tea ice cream. The portions were well-sized, the food was tasty, and the server was very kind.It was a great experience, and I would happily go again.“
“A hole in the wall. Sushi day is sharing space with Indian pizza. And there is a store to the left. Laundromat to the right. The location is very sketchy. We decided to do a take out. Oh boy, we were so surprised with a quality and the quantity was very generous too. The lady serving us was very friendly and spoke good English. Definitely ordering from there again!“
“Love this place. Have been a loyal customer for many years. Unfortunately after COVID many places went up in prices and down in quality, luckily it’s not the case for this place! The food is fresh and tastes good, and the people are so nice, they truly care about their customers.“
“I absolutely LOVE poke poke fish bar! This is the only place in the South Bay I will go for poke! It is high quality and delicious food. Anytime I get dragged into getting poke anywhere else I’m just comparing it to this place and they are never as good.“
“If it ain’t Fish and Things then why are we going? The menu items have a huge variety, and something for everyone, even the ones that don’t eat enjoy raw fish. They offer an extra scoop of protein than you normally see with the large size being 5 scoops of protein instead of the usual 4. They offer more protein variety, than I’ve seen at any neighboring poke spot with some amazing marinated choices. The cooked salmon tacos are my go to, but the sushi tacos are a great choice as well. The poke bowls are sinful with numerous topping options, a crazy amount of sauces to chose from and fresh produce that tastes like it’s just been chopped. The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and well lit and when you walk in you notice the posh feel. The ingredients are fresh and high quality, the fish is immaculately displayed. They have a nice point system that takes money off your purchase after so many points which is nice especially if you go the way I do. They have some bottled drinks at the front but I’ve never purchased drinks there. The price is fair, the poke bowls are a couple dollars more expensive than the neighboring poke restaurants but you get an extra scoop of protein as I mentioned. I recommend this place to all the sushi lovers, the cooked fish lovers, the I just want tacos and I want sushi so I’m gonna eat sushi tacos people. The I really could use a cooked salmon burger folks, come on down you’ll love this place.“
“Got the lunch special twice, and it didn't disappoint. All the items were tasty and nicely prepared. I've visited Japan and would say this dish is comparable to what I've eaten there in terms of authenticity. The service was friendly and quick too, despite how busy lunch hour tends to be here. The only thing is that the eating area is not the most spacious. However, I've eaten at smaller places in Japan so it's not a bother to me but worth noting.“
“California diaries・I keep coming here and eating delicious food!Delicious seafood, vegetables, and meat ?It's delicious?Here are the meal details!It's a sushi restaurant with a spacious space, a wonderful counter with the smell of wood, and a live performance that feels like a stage, where you can watch the craftsmen work right in front of you.Wood, concrete, pottery, glass...I liked the simple and relaxed feel of this shop♪They also give detailed explanations of the ingredients.Seasonal ingredients are incorporated throughout, giving you a sense of the season and a quality that makes you feel like you're in Tokyo!Tuna ? is aged for 14 days from Spain.Tonight's course is called sea urchin special.(I'm drunk, so I may have missed something)☑︎Yuzu pepper sesame tofu☑︎Mekabu☑︎Grilled firefly squid☑︎Boiledsushi☑︎Hokkaido scallops☑︎Sweet shrimp☑︎Striped horse mackerel☑︎Tuna☑︎Sumika sea urchin☑︎Medium Toro☑︎Lean meat☑︎Sea urchin seaweed☑︎Conger eel☑︎Ball☑︎Smoked cherry salmon finishSea urchin special☑︎Simmered sea urchin and eggplant☑︎Sea urchin x rice crackers☑︎Chawanmushi☑︎FutomakiEnd with matcha ?Originally.Extra editionFrom here, I decided to drink Kistler!☑︎Hotaru squid marinated in oki☑︎Semi-boiled salmon roe✔️Sake list☑︎Ohmine Yamadanishiki "2 Grain"☑︎Kurozaemon Junmai Daiginjo Nama Genshu☑︎Juyondai Junmai Muroka✔️Wine list☑︎DOM PÉRIGNON VINTAGE 2013☑︎Kistler Chardonnay Cuvee Cathleen2009I shared all the alcohol with the owner and everyone.Dom Peri 2013 has a clean, neutral flavor that goes well with sushi.

Kistler is said to be the best Chardonnay in Napa, and is elegant with concentrated fruit flavor, fresh acidity, and minerality. It went well with sushi. I am proud that I was able to come up with a very fun pairing this time too.This wine is called a cult wine due to its popularity, low production volume, and difficulty in obtaining it! !Located in the Russian River Valley, Kistler’s Burgundian style Chardonnays have achieved a “Cult Chardonnay” status because of their traditional style and extraordinary, Grand Cru character.#winery trip #oyster trip #trip2024#cultwine“
“You can easily book a table online or just give the restaurant a call. Our group of four made a seamless entrance on time thanks to the reservation. They've got a diverse menu with nearly everything covered. The'Unagi Omelette 鰻魚玉子燒,' 'Yamaimo Sengiri 山藥紫蘇', and the 'Mentaiko Pasta 明太子麵' are my favorite. The beef tongue and clam soup were also delicious. If you're into Japanese food with a local casual dining feel, this place comes highly recommended! Plus, they have private booths for a more intimate family or friend gathering.“
“We came here on a Friday night 3/22 around 5:30pm. We're seated right away at the sushi bar. The place started getting extremely busy and all the tables were occupied by 6:30pm. They had 1 main sushi chef then a second cook came out to help. 2 waitresses on staff that were all working very hard non stop, but can't seem to keep up with the patrons and DoorDash standing by. We ordered the Rainbow roll - very fresh Tiger dragon roll - love this roll Spicy tuna roll - one of the best Kanpachi nigiri - it was okay Hamachi nigiri- very good and fresh Scallop - will not order again Ebi - just okay. We will definitely come back, but on a different day of the week when they not as busy.“
“We discovered this little treasure by accident. The food was delicious. Disappointed my dish Ocean in a Coconut didn’t come in a coconut shell as described in the menu but perhaps coconuts aren’t in season. It did contain slices of coconut. My husbands mango curry chicken was to die for. Wonderfully sweet chunks of mango.“
“Located in Vietnam Town, Enjoy Seoul is in a corner of the left building when you pull into the lot. It isn't the biggest, but definitely clean. My mom and I were seated immediately for an early dinner. We are regulars here as my mom thinks this is her favorite Korean restaurant, and I have to say the soup and the stone bibimbap is also probably the best too. It was more than enough food for the two of us, and we had about one serving left to bring home. I think the banchan helps make the meal filling! Service is average, but in a good way. Took a star down because the table next to us got their food first but we ordered before them, and they seemed to order the same thing we did. Overall, definitely will come back again, and if you do go, try not to go during lunch or dinner rush because it's not that big and you might wait a while.“
“Very high quality fish with great portion sizes. I came here with a few friends and we were all very satisfied. I got the dinner combo with 2 orders of sashimi (16 pieces total) and the pieces were very big, fatty, and high quality. My friends got the sake don (also very high quality salmon) and the chicken katsu, which came with a mountain of chicken katsu and was great for the price. I will definitely be coming back as this is one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to in the bay area.“
“I had lived in Japan before. The food was authentic and service was very nice. Definitely will visit again!Oyako udon teishoku was my kid’s favorite and my husband really enjoyed Miyuki teishoku(he chose beef sukiyaki, chicken teriyaki and chicken katsu).“
“Came for lunch with a group. Was pleasantly in uniquely surprised for what this place has in store. When you approach the entrance it seems lackluster until you walk through the alley and it opens up into a full-on restaurant and bar. The owner's concept and design is a bit mesmerizing and makes it feel like an oasis in an urban setting. Plenty of items to pick from on the menu, it was taco Tuesday so I had to get one taco of each meat and wash it down with an agua fresca. This is a restaurant you do not want to miss out on in San Jose, great meat, great service, amicable staff. Parking can be a little rough to find but definitely worth it.“
“Outstanding, I ordered the Classic California Rolls. Very fresh ingredients, and very nice staff! The chef who made the sushi was very nice and friendly. And the waiter was super nice. I loved the pirate theme inside the building. There are so many things to look at, The building is like a hole in the wall, and very cozy. Had soft music playing in the background, very comfy chairs as well. The service was nice, very helpful for choosing things to pick and descriptions on menu items. I would 100% come here again and dine in.“
“Best sushi in San Jose! Wish the place was a bit bigger because it’s always busy, but I get that the owner likes things just the way they are. Bigger isn’t always better. My favorite sushi place since Kubota closed in Japantown. One thing I have to say is that you call and the phone just rings and rings. It’s literally like they turn the phone off, that’s not good.“
“This sushi restaurant is the BEST! The food is so good and the service is perfect. Me and my family order takeaway every week and it never disappoints. I highly recommend Bay Sushi for all the sushi lovers (they have MANY options for those who don't eat sushi) on Thursdays and Friday the place is pretty packed but somehow they always have one table left, and if not you wait for only 5-10 minutes, but its 100% worth it!! We love this restaurant and hope you will too!“
“Quality of the food here is great and very authentic, though priced on the higher side. We enjoyed the sashimi and rolls. Atmosphere is very lively and the space seems best for smaller parties. It usually gets very busy during peak hours, so it's recommended to coming early to avoid waiting longer. Parking can be tough in the plaza lot but it's usually ok.“
“My family favorite spot for sushi. As a Brazilian we loved deep fried rolls and here you can find the best ones.The special rolls are delicious.Shut outTo garlic roll, San Jose, koya roll.The chef always make rice bowls to my daughter and she loves it“
“Sushi was very good big and fresh rolls .The quality was awesomeGood tasteAlso the udon were amazingI really like this placeMaybe they can refurbish inside and make it little bit better and newer .I suggest to go here if you are in the area .“
“Love this gem of a place I just discovered. Very good Agedashi Tofu. If you have seen my reviews before you will realize that’s one of the ways I judge quality. Second, the Snapper nigiri was incredible. Best I have ever had. Tender, flavorful perfect. They were out of Hirame so I will have to return. And finally the Blue Fin Toro was incredible. It was my last bite and I know I will be back for more of everything. Very local and superb no-frills ambiance, unassuming and priced well. Foodies converge!“
“WE VISIT OFTEN AND JUST LOVE THIS PLACE. Fish is always fresh and the rolls are tasty and a good size. Love their tempura. It's really worth the trip. Prices are average. Happy hr is alway a plus. This is our go to place. Usually crowded and service could be better but we think the wait is worth it. Our sashimi platter was awesome, thats why you wait. Perfection“
“The spicy edamame garlic was a but of a disappointment, not spicy and very sticky. The spicy chicken karage was not your typical crunchy chicken, the texture was more like a chicken's general type of meal. Everything else was pretty good including the 49ers roll. We were able to sit instantly, no wait on a Friday night. The waitress really did rush us through the meal though.“
“This place is a gem. Why? Because they offer real snow crab in their California roll. Bento box and miso soup are super flavorful. Service was efficient and professional. I have been looking for a sushi spot that offers real crab and other than Nobu in Palo Alto.“
“The food is great! If you get the 2 or 3 piece dinner combo it’s a ton of food for a decent price. The waitress was SO nice! Also, everything comes to your table really quick as the guys in the kitchen are on it! I live a 5 min walk away so I’ll come here more “
Japanese • $$
“From observation, this restaurant is a typo Korean sushi restaurant serving the typical sashimi, nigiri and rolls. There's a hidden menu at the restaurant that is called ahead or reserved only. They bring in live yellow farmed halibut and octopus weekly for really fresh sashimi plates. These are whole fishes only so go with at least 3 ppl. They also carry good sake to go with the sushi.“
“We love that Sushi Masa has a happy hour menu now! We’ve tried all of the rolls and our favorites are the spicy yellowtail, the double crunchy and the tempura shrimp. The spring roll and edamame are also favorites as well.Lily has been our server/bartender for several of our visits and she is the best!The restaurant has an all you can eat lunch or dinner special, but this happy hour menu provides us with just the right amount of food.“
“Every time I come to this place and every time I forget to write a review). The restaurant is very clean, the staff is kind and courteous, the portions are large, the food is quite tasty, the price category is above average. I am attaching the menu and photos of the dishes.“
“My family and I have just discovered this location. We have been here about five times. The sushi portions are generous and fresh. All of the rolls we have tried have been delicious. The service is always attentive if anything is needed and always really friendly.“
“It is the staff at Pacific Catch Cupertino that really makes dining there such a treat. It's like having drinks and dinner at a Friend's house only they cook you whatever you want. Galinda continues to be the most wonderful person. Oh yeah, great drinks, great food and if you are not doing the rewards program you are crazy!“
“Came here around 6:30pm on a sunday night and waited for around 30 minutes for a party of 3. I ordered the Chirashi Don Deluxe, which was $13 pricier than the regular chirashi don for a tiny piece of uni and sweet shrimp, which was not really worth it imo. However, all the fish were super high quality. I also liked that there was a good mix of red and white fish, lean and fatty cuts, and the addition of tamago, scallop, and ikura. The sushi rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The portion was huge as well - I'd probably share this chirashi don with a friend if I were to get it again. I definitely would come back for the great fish quality.“
“Kyoto Palace is a vibe, my family and I came here friday night and we were not disappointed. I'm ngl I was a little over stimulated because of how loud the restaurant was from the guests to the music, but it was a good loud you could tell people were enjoying themselves. Once I got a drink I felt way better lol, the drinks were tasty and strong. To drink, we got the senorita margarita, side car, el burro and my name jeff. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the last two drinks they were so good. The service was great from the chef and waitress and the teppanyaki was pretty good as well. I got the palace trio and for the most part it was really good especially the next day. I'll def be back with friends :)“
