“Cute, delicious, and A MUST TRY. Joy Sushi a cute Japanese joint nestled in Mountain View was an amazing spot to eat.

The service from Joy Sushi was exceptional with the servers bringing a familial vibe in the restaurant. One of the servers even helped me learn how to use my chopsticks. Overall great service. The ambiance was great as well, though there wasn’t LOADS of seating. The interior was very nice with lots of decorations and on the inside you could see a lot of the action happening which was cool.

The food itself was GREAT. I got the Unagi Donburi which was an eel dish. The dish came with a bomb unagi sauce that tasted a little like a zesty thicker teriyaki which complemented the fattiness of the eel amazingly. The dish was the perfect portion for me to finish in the restaraunt and be full. The dish also interestingly came with some orange savory fish roe that popped. The eel was SO tasty. It was a little fatty and very tender with no overfishy taste emanating. It was overall an amazing dish that came with lots of rice. The dessert was a little less appetizing. We got strawberry and mango mochi which was ok. It tasted like one of the Trader Joe’s mochi, but the presentation was beautiful and the price wasn’t exorbitant.

Overall Joy Sushi is a must try it provides plenty of good sushi and other entrees like my unagi donburi if sushi isn’t your thing. If you are ever in Mountain View make sure to come to Joy Sushi to enjoy the delicious food, familial service, great interior, and affordable dishes.

Vegetarian options: There are a decent amount of veggie sushi options listed separately on the menu!“

“Great sushi! Must get the omakase nigiri or Toyosu special!“

“A sushiritto is a burrito with a sushi filling. A wonderful concept since I often feel like the traditional sushi serving leaves me a tad bit hungry at the end. But wow, this place checked all the boxes. Fresh, delicious and large portions. We got the Salmon Samba and Sumo crunch. The sumo crunch had a crispy layer with fried shrimp and crab and the sauces were the right level. We didn’t really need extra sauce on the side although they do give you hot sauce and soya sauce. It was really delicious. The salmon samba was teriyaki salmon with some veggies and greens. It was a bit on the healthier side but decent tasting. Keen to try the other options. We found a staple pin in one of the rolls while eating it. That’s dangerous. Thus deducted one star.“

“This is one of the best sushi restaurants on the peninsula. The service is great, food is amazing, presentation is awesome. There is a full bar.

Don’t let the strip mall facade fool you, this restaurant is the best I have been to in the bay, and Sushi is my favorite food.“

“This is my absolute favorite spot to get food in downtown Mountain View since it opened! The staff is unbelievably friendly and the service is incredible! Swan who is the manager has taken the time to know my name, has great recommendations from the food and drink menus. Everything about this restaurant is something to write home about. I can’t recommend it enough!“

“Excellent service, tasty food and pleasant ambiance. We will be back. Loved my sushi and my husband loved his teriyaki chicken.“

“All the food. Everything it's just fine.“

“I recently tried Pokeworks and liked it so much, I went back the next day. Their poke bowls and sushi burritos are fresh, simple, and just packed with flavor. It's the perfect spot for a quick, satisfying lunch. After two visits in a row, I can definitely say it's become one of my new favorites.“

“Vegetarian options: Our usual items arethe Sushi Taco from the chef'specialsOshinko, Tempura and Sweet potato rolls.

Kid-friendliness: Down to earth place, there were 6 elementary school kids at three different tables. All happy and moving around.“

Hanabi Sushi
1040 N Rengstorff Ave Ste A1
Mountain View, CA 94043

We went there for lunch after shopping at Costco in the same plaza. The dining area is split between a cozy interior table and chair setup and a larger patio area. We were seated promptly with fast and attentive service.

We both chose the lunch combo bentos. Wifey had the beef teriyaki and avocado roll and I had the Saba Shioyaki and Combo Tempura. The miso soup had good flavor and a few small cubes of tofu with kombu. My dainty mackerel filet was moist, tasty and boneless. My one shrimp tempura was hot and juicy with a crispy panko breading. The veggies were yam, carrot, zucchini and cauliflower. The dipping sauce was a little sweet. The beef was medium rare and lean of high quality with good teriyaki flavor.

A good place for lunch and conveniently located. May repeat.

Parking: It's in the Costco plaza.“

“The food was great, the ingredients were fresh, good portions, and everything was tasty.

We got the west coast salmon bowl, kanpachi bowl, guac-a-poke, and a Baja cod taco.
