11 Best Japanese Restaurants near Boulder Creek

“This place is fantastic. Great food. Staff. It is located in boulder creek. I order the dragon roll. So yummm“

“The restaurant has an unobtrusive storefront, and opens at the start of the single seating dinner service. The evening’s guests are comfortably seated in a single row at the counter, where we can see the finishing touches applied to each dish, and the team gives helpful descriptions and background context for the dishes.

This was an exceptional dining experience, each course was prepared thoughtfully with vibrant flavorful ingredients, artfully arranged and appealing to all the senses. Portioning was just right, to where you leave satisfied but not over-full. We tried a couple of the drinks, and the fizzy peach sake cocktail with a hint of shiso was superb. The sake offerings were also very smooth.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone with a hearty appreciation for good food. Conversely, picky or demanding children would be best left at home. I saw the team try to handle such a situation with patience and kindness, but I don’t think either side of that interaction enjoyed it. It should go without saying that an exquisite set menu prepared by a two person team might have room for adjustments if informed in advance, but doesn’t have room to make many changes on the spot for the whims of a demanding child.

This was one of the most delicious and memorable meals I’ve had all year! Also the bathroom was really nice, the toilet has some clearly-labeled bidet and flush controls on the wall by the toilet paper that some guests seemed to have missed entirely.“

“The new sushi restaurant in Los Gatos (Yokohama) is a real gem. The food is exceptionally fresh and delicious, with a wide variety of rolls to choose from. The service is attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere is calm and pleasantly quiet. We loved our experience and will definitely be back.“

“Love Sushi San! Always great food and great atmosphere 🙏❤️🙏❤️“

“My favorite place to get sushi in the South Bay! Kamakura is so generous with their portions, and the prices are incredible for the quality of fish you’re getting. Everything tastes so fresh, and it’s easily one of my favorite spots to keep coming back to. A must visit for any sushi lover IMO!“

“All the offerings are tasty. Sashimi is my favorite but I have enjoyed all the rolls as well. Friendly family service.“

“I LOVE this place. The BEST ever!!!!“

“I have known the Korean waitress since the E 3rd Avenue, San Mateo location days. Extremely friendly waitress. Food portion is always generous and decent quality. I have been to both locations but sadly, the San Mateo location doesn't exist anymore.“

“The hamachi I had to night was incredible!!!!! Thank you!!!“

“Chef Suzuki and team deliver an authentic culinary experience. The fresh sashimi, the grilled eel and the crab croquette all paired well with their selection of craft sake. The egg pudding dessert at the end was a perfect finish to the meal.“

“Best experience and I highly recommend“
