“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.”

“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!”

“Mikaya is my favorite all-you-can-eat premium hot pot spot! They offer three tiers: Silver ($55), Gold ($78), and Diamond ($98), so there's something for everyone. The quality of the meat is unbelievable and absolutely worth every penny. The broths are rich, flavorful, and delicious, and ordering from an iPad makes the whole experience easy and convenient. The customer service is consistently excellent, and the staff always make us feel welcome. My family and love this place so much we come once every 2 months. Btw, They also offer memberships. If you're looking for high-quality hot pot with amazing service and premium ingredients, Mikaya is a must-try! Highly recommend for anyone craving an all-you-can-eat Wagyu and hot pot experience. 🍲🥩”

“Sushi is good. Worth waiting twenty to thirty minutes to get the best sushi in San Jose, California. I live in Fresno and on my way to Sacramento I stopped by at dinner time and ate sushi with my friends. This place is authentic Japanese home style food. I like their Chicken Katsu and Salmon. I ask if they use farm raised salmon and they say yes. Anyway, this place hit the spot. Will be visiting on my way home again. Thank you Sushi Kan and Chef Eric.”

“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.”

“Oh Baby Sushi in Cupertino is a nice neighborhood sushi spot with a casual atmosphere and a menu that works especially well for groups with different tastes. They have traditional sushi and sashimi, creative specialty rolls, chirashi, bento boxes, noodle soups, and a surprisingly large vegetarian and vegan sushi selection. The Oh Baby Roll is one of the signature choices, with ahi tuna and avocado topped with seared salmon and the chef’s special sauce. The chirashi bowl is another good option if you want a variety of fresh fish over rice. Their sushi rolls are generously portioned, and the fish tastes fresh and well prepared. One thing that makes this place stand out is the number of vegetarian and vegan choices. Instead of just basic avocado or cucumber rolls, they offer more creative plant-based rolls with different textures and flavors, which is great when dining with someone who doesn’t eat fish. The restaurant itself is small and simple rather than upscale, but the service is friendly and the food is the main attraction. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the quality and variety make it worth trying. A very good choice in Cupertino for fresh sushi, creative rolls, and one of the better vegetarian sushi selections around.”

“We had an absolutely incredible dining experience here, largely thanks to our amazing server, Yoshi! Originally from Tokyo, Yoshi brought an incredible energy to our table. Her attentive and warm demeanor completely elevated our entire evening.What truly made the night special was how personable Yoshi was. She took the genuine time to get to know us, making us feel like valued friends rather than just another table. Since we are interested in Japan, she even graciously practiced some Japanese with us. She taught us a few phrases and shared local insights with so much patience and enthusiasm.Her level of service was flawless. Yoshi anticipated every need before we even had to ask. It is rare to find someone who balances professional, top-tier service with such authentic, heartfelt connection.Thank you, Yoshi, for making our night so memorable! We will definitely be back and will be asking for your section again!”

“I love onigiri, so I was very excited to stumble upon Onigilly. I had visions of warm, freshly hand-formed onigiri—similar to what you might find at Omusubi Gonbei—but unfortunately, this wasn’t quite that experience. The onigiri here is clearly more of a fast-casual, streamlined version. The rice is machine-formed and pre-pressed into triangles, with the filling sandwiched inside before being wrapped in seaweed. So if you’re looking for that rustic, handmade feel, this probably isn’t the place. That said, it’s difficult to mess up an onigiri. The rice was room temp, slightly mushed but did not take away from the the fillings which were flavorful, and the seaweed still had a nice crunch rather than becoming soggy. It may not be the most gourmet or homemade-style onigiri, but it definitely satisfies the craving—and the convenience is a plus. Overall, I’d come back when I’m craving onigiri and want something quick and easy, just with the right expectations going in.”

“Shabutime was such a great experience and easily one of the best Japanese hot pot spots I’ve been to so far. This was my second time ever doing hot pot and my first time trying a Japanese-style hot pot, and it completely changed my perspective. Everything felt very organized and easy to follow, which made the whole experience way more enjoyable. We ordered the beef toro belly and the seafood combo, which came with a full spread of vegetables. For broths, we went with the yukisaki and spicy Sichuan, and both were really well balanced and flavorful without being overwhelming. We also added vermicelli and udon noodles, which soaked up the broth perfectly. What stood out to me was how satisfying the meal actually was. I’ve done hot pot before and left feeling like I didn’t really eat enough or get the full experience, but that was not the case here. Everything felt complete and well thought out. They also have a solid selection of sauces and add-ons, which really let you customize each bite. Overall, super impressed with the quality, the setup, and how smooth the whole experience was. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.”

“Sushi and bento were pretty good. Everything was a bit on the pricier side. The uni toro hand roll was not very worth it. Only thing that stood out was the fried langoustine. Perfect crunch, not too rubbery, and the sauce didn’t overpower the natural sweetness of the langoustine. Also a good deal as I don’t know anywhere else you can get that much for $15. Great service also!”

“Gaku Yakitori is a very solid spot in the Bay Area. Sister restaurant to Sumiya, and I’ve been coming for years. Charcoal is the reason to go. Skewers off the binchotan have that smoke a gas grill never gets. Uni don was good too, though it didn’t make the photo. Sake list is nice if beer isn’t the move. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Room is small, so call ahead. Definite go-to izakaya.”

“I was looking for a sushi place the other day and found Kai Sushi or maybe it found me. Let’s just call it destiny but hands down it’s now my favorite sushi spot. Service is amazing. The aesthetics of the place is great. The food was the best part. Every dish I had (sushi, gyoza, nigiri) was amazingly fresh, it tasted amazing. I don’t like eel very much but the Chard eel on the dragon roll was so good it changed my mind on eel. I liked this place so much I had to bring my brother with me for round 2 and it was just as good as the first time. If you’re in the area it is a must stop. Did I mention how nice the hostess. She was very attentive but had a great balance of making sure we were taken care of yet still gave us our space to enjoy our meal. I will definitely be returning and making this my new sushi spot.”

Their ordering system can be a bit funky but the staff are friendly and can help clear things up, that was my experience. I also think it would be helpful if they had a guide for how spicy their food really is. I will be coming back by not ordering spicy. Ha ha”

“Not much to look at from the outside but lovely indoor decor and a pretty extensive menu with alcohol selections available. Trying this one for the first time, according to staff they have been here about 4 months. Today I have ordered the pork katsu bento box. Lunch special for $17.99. comes with gyoza, rice and a salad. Also includes your choice of drink. Staff let me know it would be a 10-minute wait for the food to be cooked up fresh. Actual wait time was only 7 minutes from the time my credit card was charged to me walking out the door with food in hand. Fresh and hot as promised, high quality. Enjoyed back at the office with time to spare! I already know what I'm ordering next time you come back!”

“We tried the Kimchi Beef with Rice and the Garlic Beef with Rice. Between these two, the Kimchi Beef has a lot more flavor. The kimchi is, however, far too salty. Add the Garlic Shoyu sauce at the table to bring out the Garlic Beef dish. Otherwise, it's relatively plain. The pork katsu with curry sauce was fine, though not remarkable.”
