“I was here for a music event, and my group didn't know what to eat. We found this place online and went to get some food. Eric, our sever was AMAZING! Such a sweet guy, and was always coming back to our table to make sure we were having a good time refilling out waters and adding more broth when needed. Give that man a raise!!“

“Simply the best sushi in all of San Jose. You'll notice how many Japanese people come to eat here. The chefs are all Japanese and the sushi is as tasty as it gets. The sushi tokujo is my favorite and I always have a great experience. The price is cheap for the high quality you get and it is very clean here.“

“love this cute place . tempura veggies crunchy.all fresh , great service.“

“Sushi was fresh and tasty and the service was very friendly. It was a little too quiet though, I felt like it would have been nice to have some music or something in the background. It felt like I had to speak very quietly or others would hear my whole conversation“

“Goku Sushi is a real gem!! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was attentive. We ordered a variety of rolls, and each one was a delight. The Mango roll was outstanding. The presentation of the food was also beautiful. We'll definitely be back! By the way, we came to the one on Blossom Hill !!“

“We ordered a set of salmon teriyaki with rice, a poke bowl with rice, and a few sushi rolls. The fish was fresh and flavorful, and everything was nicely prepared. My boy really enjoyed his salmon, and the food came out fast, which we appreciated. A simple, satisfying meal with good quality ingredients.“

“Went to Udon Mugizo with my family tonight on New Year’s Eve. Our food arrived within 5-15 minutes, which was must faster than expected, especially on a holiday. The beef combo and Niku Udon didn’t have a lot of meat or vegetables. The service was incredibly good, and we even chatted with our server!“

“Efficient service, delicious sushi and Saki.“

“We went early as they opened and service was quick and straight to the point. The lady who helped was very helpful and efficient checking up on us.

The food was great and really enjoyed their sushi despite not liking seafood very much. My favorite entree from this is the Ton Katsu that includes Miso Soup, Salad and White Rice.

The atmosphere was great nothing too fancy but very authentic. The important part was it being clean and it very much was!

Highly recommend just make sure you arrive while they are open cause their hours are strict.“

“Great food, fast service!“

“A sub brand inside Fugetsu. They make all the rice balls and some bento.

Rice balls are good.. but they're missing the seaweed wrapper for some reason (compared to every other place including Clover Bakery next door) and the price is higher in exchange for more/better fillings.

Just ate the tonkatsu roll. Amazing. $5 well spent lol.“

“Fresh food and good taste. One of pocket restaurants.“

“The staff were all very nice and friendly, also they made good recommendations of food. The food we had for dinner were decent. Sashimi was fresh, Kobe beef skewers were the best, Cod was thick and nicely fatty. It has the grilled rice ball which were quite good. I have been looking for good one for long time. The bluefin black meat karaage was a bit salty. As this restaurant is for grilled skewers. We will try more different types of skewers next time. Small restaurant but good use of space management. All of the tables were close but still feel good by the way they put partitions. I like the atmosphere and staff of the restaurant. For its food, I would like to try more of its specialties for more thoughts to share.“

“Great food and the staff is friendly the environment is spectacular“

“Very delicious, very good, highly recommended“

“Some friends from work brought up this place to meet up and so we did afterwards and after seeing the pictures it really piqued my interest and I was happy to drop by because I really enjoyed my dish. I just had to add some more seasoning to it. But I definitely will go back“

“I really liked this food. While it took a bit of time for it to come out, it came out hot and fresh. I got the curry hambak, which is more or less a hamburger patty with demiglace sauce along with the curry sauce and the rice and vegetables. The taste of it all was really good. And it was also really filling. Overall very satisfying. I also like Hmart so the atmosphere was good too.“

“Presentation wasn't great but food was tasty. Price was reasonable. If owner is reading this. You can do so much better with proper bento boxes for your bentos. And sushi rolls on a round plate in 3 long rolls might not be the most eye pleasing.“

“Best Tempura donburi in the Bay Area!! You can always request to have Tempura lunch/dinner instead of donburi too!“

“Eat there!! It’s great!!!“

“At poke places, it is so important for the food to be fresh. You don't have to worry about this here. The staff is willing to help you arrange your bowl if you want any suggestions about pairings. Highly recommend!“

“Service can sometimes take a while but its no big deal and doesnt happen all the time. Their food is really good! Will recommend the Kobe beef with udon noodles with garlic miso for the broth.(I love garlic) They always give you an entre of vegetables, which is so good. You have to cook all your food in the broth, and its fun and easy.“

Kid-friendliness: Saw lots of kids. I would bring my own.

“está página es muy interesante bendiciones para esta“

“Excellent rice. I am picky. :) It starts with that and gets better.“

“Best Date Night dinner ever!“

“This wee little restaurant can only seat up to 21 customers. Yet it is excellent. The service is quick and polite, and the chicken catsu is quite possibly the juiciest I've ever had. The salmon sashimi is always fresh, cool, and tasty.“

“The sushi is so fresh it melts in your mouth. It’s so good. It’s a quaint almost hole in the wall type place but it’s clean and the people are friendly and attentive. It’s a definite must if you like sushi. Prices are reasonable and a tiny bit high on some dishes but it’s worth it. I will be going back again and I’m sure lots of times 😋“

“I love “Tomo Sushi”. Been going there for at least 20 years. Product is always fresh, Anthony, the owner is the chef. The ambiance is superb lots of variety and professionally done. You owe it to yourself and your family yo try Tomo Sudhi. You will be glad you did“

“This sushi spot is down the street from my house and it's quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Granted I usually come in for lunch and order a bento box. I love the spicy chicken teriyaki, veggie tempura and California rolls. Their Chile. Matsu was good but I prefer the teriyaki. Their miso soup is tasty.

Restaurant is typical sushi restaurant size. They may accommodate larger parties with notice. The art on the wall is movies, action figures, and things of that nature

I haven't tried too much outside of that so I will have to order more when I go next time. I want to order specialty rolls. Will update the review after the fact.“

“Fresh poke bowl made as you order.“

“The best sushi ever, can’t wait to go back to San José to eat there Best regards Charlie Marco“

“I come here all the time I recently got food for my girlfriend, daughter and I. I thought they forgot to put an order in my bag and told them. Instead of questioning me too much they made me another one. Through the phone with my gf I found out it was there all along and was actually wrong. I felt really bad and apologized, they were really nice and understanding. They gave me the 2nd roll anyways.I really appreciate them and will be a forever customer :)“

“Great sushi and sashimi! ❤️“

“Their sushi rolls are fabulous every time. I love the Dragon roll and Paul’s roll. Consistent and fast service every time.“

“Great find and will be back often … loved everything about this place“

“Sometimes, I have to eat alone. Today, Miyuki’s Nigiri Deluxe Combo treated me as a very special person. I did not feel lonely because I was so busy to enjoy each pieces. Besides of the fresh and delicious raw fish options, their Kitchen items are amazingly good. Can’t wait to treat myself, friends, and family!“

“Lizbeth and her team did an incredible job catering for my wedding. I could not have asked for better sushi for such a special day. The food was great, and the presentation was incredible. Very professional and easy to work with to get the sushi going for the wedding. Highly recommended.“

“First time after a referral and it did not disappoint! The food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was clean and modern. The staff were so nice and came by multiple times to check on us. I had the Happy Together roll and a Saba hand roll which were so full of flavor. Will definitely be coming back!“

“We are so lucky to have this sushi restaurant in the Village. The food is amazing the service is great!“

“Tofu stew and bibimbap was really good. The bibimbap stone pot stayed superrrr hot, so the rice was nice and crispy. I liked it a lot! Also, the banchan (side dishes) were great! Both a good portion and tasty. However, I will say the service was pretty slow. I think there was only one waitress the evening i came.“

“Awesome take out live them“
