50 Best Sushi Bars near Sunnyvale

“We had been searching for a long time around Cupertino for a café that makes good sushi rolls. The task wasn’t easy, but I decided to stop by Bay Sushi and order a few rolls to go. We were pleasantly surprised by the staff — their attentiveness and attention to detail stood out. Our order was ready in less than 10 minutes, and we were delighted with the quality and taste of the rolls. Everything was just right, and now we know where to enjoy healthy and delicious food. Thanks to the chefs and the staff!“

“I’ve been walking past here every day since my work assignment started. Today I decided to give them a test run around the block. So they have a ton of ‘special rolls’ but not so many of the standard type rolls. I happen to like the standard rolls better and don’t understand the whole fancy this and that. That being said I tried both of what they offered. Both rolls overall were good. Not great, nothing that screamed special. It wouldn’t keep me from stopping back at a later date though. Service was again just ok. The typical where their phone was more important than checking on the customers. The atmosphere and location are decent with plenty of parking. Pricing is what I expected. Others have stated the portions are large and that is the case.“

“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.“

“Hanamaru is a fantastic sushi spot. Probably the best sushi in Sunnyvale. Been going for years and years and never disappointed. I love the specialty rolls here like, Black tiger roll, Cherry blossom roll and U.F.O. roll. Chef's nigiri and sashimi are well portioned cuts of fresh fish. Usual fair like edamame and miso great too. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Had an amazing experience at this omakase place in Mountain View. The servers and chefs are super welcoming when you walk in! If you here for a celebration or treating yourself to a nice meal, you need to get the omakase tasting menu! The fish was so fresh and melts in your mouth!!! I really like their chawanmushi (steam egg with seafood) , it was so light and flavorful. I recommend this spot for Omakase! :)“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Fantastic! Sat at the sushi counter for omakase service. Chef explain each bite/dish and service was excellent. Great casual neighborhood vibes, comfortable seating. Most importantly, excellent quality fish that shined w/ traditional and understated preparations. I'll be back when in town for work.“

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

“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 😋“

“Great sushi and sashimi! ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Joy Sushi is the best sushi restaurant in Mountain View and beyond. The fish is the freshest, food is delicious and inventive, and the owners are so lovely and welcoming. Every time we go there it’s a treat. The sushi plates are as beautiful as they are delicious!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We sat at that counter, facing the men preping the food. The shushi was amazing and tasty. The service was fast, and the environment was cozy as well. The only disappointment was their takiyoki balls that each had only one small piece of octopus inside.“

“Mmmmmm, so good. And open for lunch. I had the um, I don't remember but it was kind of like an everything roll. Accompanied by two cold Asahi - fuhgeddaboudit. Service was quick for it being a busy lunch spot. Staff is super nice. Definitely check out next time in Palo Alto. I'm addicted to sushi. Cheers!“

“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 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.“

“One of the best fish courses I ever had. The lady serving our table is very kind and thoughtful about any allergies or other requests we had. Good for gatherings, quiet and spacious. A little tricky to locate the restaurant at first but parking is sufficient.“

“This place has a good variety to choose from. I ordered rainbow and it had a strange aftertaste, which is probably from the crab mixture inside the roll. The rolls that my friend has ordered were fine and didn’t have that aftertaste. The fish was fresh, the food was ready pretty fast. Service is long, the waiter didn’t check on us after he brought the food for a while. Overall, it’s worth trying but service should be improved.“

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

“Best foods , great services 🥰“

“It was generous and delicious! They were so kind, and I really appreciated how they kept refilling my hot tea. It was my first visit thanks to a friend’s recommendation, and I’ll definitely be coming back. The parking is spacious, the food is excellent, and the service is great!“

“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.“

“We ordered Octopus karaage, Jalapeno Bomb, king Crab Roll and Alaska Roll. We loved the karaage most and Jalapeno bomb was good too. But the rolls were not as expected, would rate them below avg. Staff and restaurant environment were standard. Parking might be issue specially during weekend nights.“

“Good food good happy hour“

“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“

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

“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.“

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