50 Best Sushi Bars near Sunnyvale

“My wife and I finally visited this place, and we actually don’t live that far away. It is a definite keeper. We both had combo dinners and the tastes are delicate and delicious for both teriyaki and tempura. Did not try the sushi. Very friendly service. Overall excellent place for our tastes.“

“Fresh and tasty food. Waitress nice and warm welcomes.
Sushi was serving quick, price is fair to me. I like Japanese food, so many restaurants I know little over priced. But not this one.

I know head of sushi chef Matthew for years form Camden (Ishshma)location, IMHO Highly recommend anyone who wants findout his skilled and fantastic service.“

“I went to try the new lunch menu at Tanto Izakaya in Sunnyvale that started last week. I’m a huge fan of Tanto and their authentic Japanese menu, so when I saw they had new lunch set meals, I just had to go right away. I tried the Bara chirashi set meal for $33 and while it seems pricy, it is worth the price due to the huge portions and I left feeling very full.

Times have changed, this is the economy we are in for prices. Portion wise, I think it’s even enough to share. Come hungry!

The presentation is like a chirashi bowl I had in Hokkaido earlier this year. If you love Japanese food, I highly recommend a try. Service is quite fast. I was the first customer at opening. They have been around 25 years, so the vibe is always good and nostalgic.“

“We went to the place with colleagues after work. First thing that i heard instead of greetings was that they are out of salmon.
Most of items in the menu (except for vegetarian) included salmon. Waiting time for the group of 10 ppl was expectedly long but the food was delivered at different pace for different people and while some finished eating others still wait.
The food was OK but nothing special. Sushi look like sandwiches with a lot of rice to make for the size. Not something that I personally like.
The place can benefit from some design to make it look more like a Japanese restaurant or dinner, Right now it looks the same as TOGO sandwiches next door.“

“YUM! We love Rokko! Lovely restaurant, great food and a wonderful staff. Happy we have this restaurant in DT Sunnyvale. 😀“

“Great food and very tasty!! Staff are very friendly!! Highly recommended!!!“

“I've known Pacific Catch for as long as I can remember, so we were happy when they opened in the newly renovated Sunnyvale downtown area.

We've been here a couple of times and both visits were consistent with what we expected. Good ambience, good service, and good food. The ingredients tasted fresh and the service was prompt. If you are looking for more authentic flavors and less Americanized food, there are plenty of other solid options, but it's convenient to have Mexican, Asian, and other flavors under one roof.

On our recent visit, we tried the Firecracker Salmon sushi, the Mexican bowl with shrimp, and a Modelo Negra to go with it. The flavors were mild, but the meal was enjoyable overall. We ended with a nice Hawaiian Sundae to complete the meal and it was quite good. Shout out to Marvin for the good service.

Definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking for a family friendly spot that can satisfy different tastes and preferences.“

“I was very happily surprised by this place. Service was super friendly and fast, the menu is extensive and prices are reasonable. I ordered the seafood hot soba and it was absolutely delicious! I felt like I was eating super healthy, plenty of vegetables and seafood in a light but delicious broth. The portion was also pretty big that I took the leftover home and had another meal the next day! I will definitely go back and would happily order that again!“

“It was a delight and joy to have chef Steve to prepare our meal. My wife and I ate everything that was prepared for us and the food was absolutely amazing. Great flavors and fresh ingredients. The scallop was to die for. Uni was heavenly, that it melts in your mouth. Uni is not something my wife like or enjoy but she loved it the way chef Steve pair with other ingredients. Once again thanks chef Steve for the fabulous dining experiences.“

“Enjoyed the omakase and sake pairing. Fish was fresh and well prepared. There were a couple of pieces, e.g. hirame, I wasn't crazy about because they were chewy but that's a personal preference. Service was fantastic, super efficient. Highly recommend!“

“Only down side is small parking lot. Do recommend street parking since the lot is very small

Recommend: Sashimi and Nigiri is well prepared. But everything is fairly pricey

The sushi here is very good and well made. Good quality fish“

“The BEST Sushi in the Bay Area- FOR SURE“

“Good sushi for the price. I usually get the lunch nigiri special to go and they are pretty good about special instructions in the online order. Quality of fish has been decent and the miso and salad is also fresh and good quality. I just wish they would do something about the smell? fragrance? inside.. it smells like a combo of bleach and some room freshener.“

“Have been going to this place lately. Fresh and delicious. The price is pretty good for 1 combo with sides.“

“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.“

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

“Daigo’s food is absolutely delicious. The ji kimedai was outstanding, and the Homemade ice cream dessert (MUST TRY!!) at the end was the perfect finish. It’s easily one of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve had in the Bay Area in this price range.“

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

“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.“

“Great sushi and sashimi! ❤️“

“Katsu is a refined, intimate omakase experience that redefines what it means to dine with intention. With only eight seats at the chef's counter, the chef-owner, Katsu Maruyama, treats everyone as a special guest.
The omakase menu evolves with the seasons; the meal's pacing is thoughtful, allowing diners to savor each bite while engaging with Chef Katsu, who shares insights into his techniques and ingredients. The fish is incredibly fresh (often flown in from Japan), and the rice is perfectly seasoned.
The atmosphere is calm and minimalist, allowing you to focus entirely on the food.“

“Love their foods, so delicious and fancy will bring my family & friends there again!!“

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

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

“The chef is very professional and the ingredients are very fresh. The chef tastes the ingredients himself every morning and cooks them fresh. They are so friendly and friendly that they remind me of my parents. There are so many menus that I ordered several and tried this and that, all of which were successful. The salmon rolls, especially the fresh and fragrant ooni, were fantastic. Salmon sashimi melted in my mouth and I don't know how many plates I ate 😂😂😂 It's worth coming. Make sure you visit!“

“I was just driving by in the area and wanted some Sushi and decided to stop and check it out. I'm so happy I did. The music was definitely a whole vibe. The R & B mix with Rap was giving me life. The service was top tier and the food was fresh and delicious. It will be my new hang out spot on my days I want to grab a drink and relax at the bar.“

“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 😋“

“Awesome take out live them“

“The food tastes great! There are a lot of options, so even if you don't like sushi there's plenty of options, like miso and udon. The staff are always patient and attentive. There are many affordable roll options, and the menu is decently priced for the area as well. Great place to go with a partner or a group of friends.“

“A few super authentic Japanese Restaurants in the Bay Area. Main Chef Eric is experienced 20+ years. You can ask his Omakase (Chef Choice). Once you taste Mikado’s super fresh Sushi and Sashimi, it is really hard to find the satisfaction from other places. Their Kitchen Items (grilled items, tempura, and Udon) also absolutely good.“

“From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us like regulars — warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. Service was flawless all night: timely drink refills, thoughtful answers to menu questions, and spot-on recommendations that made ordering easy and fun.
The sushi is insanely fresh. Every roll and piece of nigiri tasted clean, perfectly cut, and beautifully balanced. Whether you’re into classic sashimi or more creative rolls, everything is done right. The menu is also impressively broad — not just sushi, but tempura, grilled dishes, and specialty items that clearly show how much they care about quality. Personally, I’m a big fan of the sake kama (salmon collar) — rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.
The atmosphere strikes that rare balance of traditional and relaxed, making it ideal for date night or a special dinner with friends or family. We didn’t do a tatami room this time, but even the main dining area felt cozy and authentic. There’s real sushi culture here — not just good food, but the full experience.
Parking and reservations were easy (a huge win in Palo Alto), and I left already planning my next visit. If you’re looking for excellent sushi, genuinely kind staff, and a place that truly delivers on quality, this is it.“

“Fantastic Restaurant, great service, delicious food, and very reasonably priced for Japanese food.
They are also gluten free friendly and I have eaten there twice without any issues as a Celiac. They do have gluten free tamari sauce and ensured my order was safe every time I’ve been there. I will be back.“

“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.“

“Good food good happy hour“

“Kenji sushi has a large amount of items to choose from. The sushi was delicious and the restaurant was popping with people and good vibes. The rolls we ordered were delicious. This is a nice spot to come and enjoy some fresh rolls and drinks with your family or friends. Just be careful when parking or leaving. Since it’s a small parking lot. Its definitely a tight squeeze. Make sure to order yourself a mocktail and some appetizers while you’re waiting for your rolls, sashimi or your main dish. I suggest order some takoyaki. All in all its a decent place thats not overpriced.“

“Great sushi place! The fish was very fresh and every dish was well prepared. Good sized servings too. There was a bit of a wait on Friday night string 7pm but no more than 20 minutes as the service is quite and the tables turn over pretty quickly. Will definitely come back.“

“Mountain View's Downtown area is so cute and I love that it's blocked off from cars so the center is a walking street. There are tons of restaurants and shops in the area, but if you're craving sushi or Japanese food, you have to 🔖bookmark Sushi Arashi! The prices are very affordable and the portions are generous.

If you're looking for an Instagram worthy dish that's both delicious and worth paying for, get the Omakase Box! It's $55, but worth it. Each chef's choice was well selected and super fresh. This place also has a huge selection of special rolls if that's more your style. The fish portions are big and they don't use too much rice like some other places. There are also Udon and Teriyaki dishes to choose from for those who aren't big on seafood.

🍣
• Omakase Box (highly recommend!)
• Hamachi Kama
• Hot Kiss (Baked Roll)
• Dragon Roll

🚗 Parking can be a little tough in the area depending what time you go, so plan ahead
🐾 Dog-friendly patio!“

“Rude and abusive owner, poor quality food, bad location, disgusting on the inside, slow service. There is better sushi at gas stations these days.“

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

“Best foods , great services 🥰“

“Wonderful Uni. Very fresh!!! The rolls were very well done: tasty with a great presentation. Recently remodeled, keeping the best of the old with a crisp new look. Warm and friendly service that you don't experience in most restaurant.“

“Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the nigiri :) food was good, especially the agedashi tofu. The salmon lover was okay, but what made up for it was the amazing service. They were kind and very friendly while also not being overly intrusive.“

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

“Tried the Green Peas Sushi and Pumpkin Sushi. Pumpkin sushi was really good. Would never feel guilty after eating Sushi.

Definitely recommended ✅

Updated on 11.11.2025
Added new photos after having tried the Mango Sushi, and Cucumber Avocado Sushi. It was really good. Staff was kind and helpful.“

“From the first moment you arrive in that place team give you an agreeable feeling. Very hospitable team, it is a happy restaurant to enjoy with friends or with your date. delicious cuisine, professional chef, decent price and excellent service. Warmly recommended.“

“great service and food. beautiful coy pond as well“

“Not a lot of sushi in the sampler. Food we did get was good but not exceptional. Generally just ok value not great. Atmosphere is ok. Staff is very nice. Feels like a small local establishment. Wasn't busy on a Friday night when other nearby sushi places had 2 hour wait.“

“Our family has been to Sumo many times because it's a family favorite. Our kids love the kids meals (rice, miso soup, and salmon or chicken teriyaki) and the sushi train, where we usually pick a few rolls and mochi for dessert. We love the variety of the menu and freshness of the food most of the time. Depending on the day, the texture of the rice can be improved and sometimes the offerings on the sushi train are limited, but the excellent service more than makes up for it. The restaurant is full of regulars that the staff remembers. A few favorites from the menu include the tempura ramen, all of the rolls, the agedashi tofu and the mochi ice cream. Highly recommended as a family friendly establishment that serves above average food, a quiet and fun ambiance, and great service.“

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

“I appreciate the they maintained high quality of sashimi, freshness of fish and beautiful cut according to the nature of the fish.“
