50 Best Sushi Bars in San Jose

“The sushi here is seriously good - fresh ingredients, creative rolls you won’t find anywhere else. The Fuji Roll? Absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly, even if the vibe inside feels a bit cramped and could use a deeper clean. It’s a small spot, so I’d recommend takeout or delivery over dining in. For the quality of food though, it’s worth it.“

“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.“

“Awesome take out live them“

“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!“

Wr need more variety.
Great prices“

“This is a great sushi place for your normal daily lunch/dinner, not your fine dine or traditional sushi experience, and it’s perfectly good. I tried the 49ers roll and dinner combo, again food is nothing to write home about but it’s decent. Price is fair, server was attentive but not intrusive (ie checking in too frequently and breaking up convo). I would rate this 3.5 stars if I can but 4 is not far off“

“Great sushi and sashimi! ❤️“

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

“Good food good happy hour“

“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“

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

“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 😋“

“One of our regular sushi spot in south bay. I’ve been coming here for 20 years and it never disappoints. The staff is extremely friendly and always remembers our favorites! I can’t wait for firefly squid season!

They serve fresh fish and always have a variety of options. This is not a typical over the top roll house if that is what you’re looking for. Come here for their nigiri and chirashi bowls they have always been solid!“

“larga la espera pero valió la pena muy rica la comida“

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

“If you're a sushi lover, Bamboo Fish Sushi is an absolute must-try! The quality of the fish here is unparalleled—always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The sushi chefs are incredibly attentive, taking their time to craft each piece with precision, and you can tell they truly care about the craft.

A special shoutout to the owner, who really knows how to run a fantastic restaurant. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail make every visit feel special. It's clear that they prioritize customer experience, and that goes a long way.

Whether you're a sushi connoisseur or new to the scene, Bamboo Fish Sushi will not disappoint. Highly recommend it great night out.“

“Awesome service, scrumptious food, reasonable prices, cozy atmosphere and simply an enjoyable experience.“

“I love this sushi spot! So close to Santana Row without the craziness of being there. The fish always tastes super fresh and the variety of rolls is amazing - it’s always so hard to choose since I want to try everything. Definitely recommend and will continue coming back again and again.“

“Amazing food! Love every item is fresh and delicious . extremely friendly staff! A must try!“

“you can taste the difference from other restaurants. no fishy or strong cleaning chemicals. fresh taste & frsh wasabi. a bit $$, but rolls and uni bowl were on point. would be nice if they had more sofa seatings so one could enjoy comfortable seating for drinks.“

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

“Whether it’s a date night with my girlfriend or a big family dinner for a special occasion, Okayama is a reliable spot for well made sushi rolls and bento boxes that will satisfy any cravings. Staff is very helpful and quick to assist with any questions or requests“

“A casual, great value gem in SJ! Kampai offers a “salmon lovers special” for $22 and it is the best salmon I have ever had. A fantastic value! Service was prompt and friendly, and the vibe is relaxed. Sit at the bar to watch the sushi chef work his magic! I also ordered tamago and it was the best I’ve ever had: super moist and fresh with perfect amount of sweetness. Everything is clean and welcoming. Parking is abundant and easy.“

“Very solid sushi restaurant with a nice waiter who was polite.The crispy breading on their chicken katsu was divine.Their kalbi short ribs were a tad bit chewy. A bit more tenderizing was needed.Their sushi rolls left me wanting more. I'll go get more in future visits. :)“

“My boyfriend and I visited this spot expecting a revolving sushi bar based on what we saw online, but it seems they stopped offering that a few years ago. However, the change didn’t take away from our experience. We were warmly greeted, and the family-like atmosphere, with photos of customers lining the walls, felt inviting.

I ordered the tempura udon, while my boyfriend chose two hand rolls—salmon skin and cooked salmon. We also shared the soft-shell crab roll. The udon was tasty, though I was slightly disappointed by the egg (I was expecting a poached or boiled one). That said, the tempura was a nice surprise, featuring imitation crab, carrot, and shrimp rather than just the usual shrimp. My boyfriend enjoyed his cooked salmon roll but wasn’t a fan of the salmon skin one. The highlight of our meal was definitely the soft-shell crab roll—fresh and flavorful, it really made the lunch memorable!“

“Absolutely everything about this place is amazing. The service is exceptional—attentive, friendly, and efficient. And the sushi? Absolutely incredible, every single time. The quality, freshness, and presentation of the food are always spot-on. Even their chicken teriyaki, which isn’t something I typically expect to be a standout at a sushi restaurant, is absolutely delicious.

They’re impressively quick with their service too, making it a perfect spot whether you’re in a rush or planning a relaxed meal. My boyfriend and I are loyal customers—we come here at least once a week. The poki bowl, which is bursting with flavor and consistently delicious.

It’s safe to say this is hands down the only sushi spot I’ll go to. If you’re looking for a place that consistently delivers incredible food and service, look no further.“

“I've been coming to this place since they first opened, and they've been amazing every time. My wife has a serious avocado allergy, and the staff here always handle it with care, which I really appreciate. The prices are great, and the food is even better, always fresh and made just right. It's my go-to spot for date nights because everything from the food to the service is top-notch. The manager is especially awesome, super friendly and always makes an effort to check in with customers. Hands down, my favorite sushi spot in San Jose!“

“We just ordered dinner from Blue Mango tonight. What a treat! We had the pineapple fried rice, pad thai, mango curry, bamboo, and my favorite mango salad. Pick up was super easy--they had set up tables with lots of space in between orders and room for social distancing. And you should have seen the size of the bottle of hand sanitizer available for anyone to use! Let's support our local businesses and keep Blue Mango going!“

“Great customer service! Food is good as well.“

“Great food. The sushi bat-ritto was goood“

“So yummy. Will be going back. Need to try the kale noodle bowl one of these days“

“Decent price, sushi as fresh as it gets and taste-wise is immaculate. Was recommended the hamachi roll by the staff and it was loaded with hamachi in and out. A bit weirded out with the mango in the poké but was surprisingly refreshing. Big fan of the sauteed edamame as well and their softshell crab is real juicy. Plus the Uni is real fresh and creamy.

Absolutely recommended, you wont regret it. The 1 star reviews are mostly disgruntled, weird, nitpicky costumers.“

“Good ambience, great food. Loved the family vibe. Feels like eating in a cozy eatery in Osaka.“

“What a pleasant surprise...my 3rd time here. Maybe, I had ordered the rolls which were OK the first two times but this time around, the Nigiri and sashimi was superb.....especially, Salmon belly aka sake toro and Hamachi were excellent....might just be my favorite in the South San Jose area!!! No pictures this time because I was busy stuffing my face.“

“great food. great patio.“

“Very good food for bring in an airport. Quick service but food is unlike a fast food place. I love flying to San Jose International Airport because of Sushi Boat.“

“Instant acknowledgment and seating for me and my mom. They gave us time to browse the menu while answering questions we had = Good service. Food was quickly brought to the table despite busy orders constantly coming in. (Popular. Food was flavorful, hefty portions. I would return with newcomers, confidently.“

“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.“

“Really fun place to go and have sushi. The menu is simple but it is satisfying. Getting a prize capsule for finishing plates. That's always a good time. Plus they've got a robot that brings you your drinks! A freaking robot! Awesome! My wife and I had a great experience. And are planing to bring the kid next time we go.“

“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“

“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!“

“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 tasting food poke bowls,sishi,my fave salmon tacos made fresh at time of order. Yhe workers were very kind. Even when it got bizy they handled the rush wiyh kindness, patience and knew their stuff. Me and my friends and family will order Togo and eat in .“
