Kaygetsu

325 Sharon Park Dr
Ste A2
Menlo Park, CA 94025

Irene S. writes: Kaygetsu will either be one of the most:

(a) eternally searing, long-suffering 2-4 hours of your god-forsaken life; or
(b) delightfully exquisite, palette-exhilarating adventures to which you hope there is no end.

While the odds are greatly in favor…

Sushi California

4477 Stevens Creek Blvd
Santa Clara, CA 95051

Julia W. writes: Hidden Treasure in a strip mall. Food is fresh and delicious. Loads of creative and funki sushi dishes. The California rolls are not packed with mayonnaise and never chewy. The sushi teriyaki was grilled to perfection. Not a fancy place to…

Komatsu Japanese Cuisine

300 Orchard City Dr
Ste 110
Campbell, CA 95008

M J. writes: Komatsu..........

Ever walk into a sushi joint and instead of seeing a miniature version of Japan, it's tiled floors, neon "Kirin" signs, rickety metal chairs with cheap poly-vinyl backing, and the bathroom doors always swinging open and shut?

Yeah,…

Yuri Japanese Restaurant

3236 S White Rd
San Jose, CA 95148

Kristen S. writes: This is still my favorite sushi place, partly because of the fun sushi chefs, and partly because of the unusual customer creation sushi that you don't find elsewhere. I have never eaten anywhere in this restaurant other than at the sushi bar because…

Sunnyvale, CA 94085

Ken K. writes: Sushi Club is on a stretch of Mary Avenue, inside a strip mall with Senor Jalapeno (yep a Cali Mex joint), a Jamba Juice, a coffee shop, a Subway, and a seemingly mediocre Taiwanese style eatery (based on the Yelp reviews and the lack of a "you're…

Tomo Sushi

5487 Snell Ave
San Jose, CA 95123

jessie j. writes: my dad took me here for my first sushi experience at least 15 years ago, so it holds a very special place in my heart. (we were from the KUNTRY, so eating sushi was akin to a californian trying velveeta or something with a ham hock in it for the…

Yuki Sushi

1827 Pruneridge Ave
Santa Clara, CA 95050

Mary M. writes: Ow! Quit bumping me!

So the seats are a little close together. That is my only complaint. That is all I can find that is wrong with the place and honestly - depending who I'm dining with - it isn't a complaint at all.

Prices are fair, food is great,…

Shogun Japanese Restaurant

1123 Pacific Ave
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Mobo Sushi

105 S River St
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

I've been here once with the hubby for lunch and I was not really a fan. The rolls had too much rice and everything else was meh.

Furu-Sato Japanese Restaurant

1651 W Campbell Ave
Campbell, CA 95008

Sushi Maru

262 Jackson Street
San Jose, CA 95112

Ken K. writes: Sushi Maru San Jose might just arguably be the first true kaitenzushi in the Bay Area!

You see, most places don't really do a conveyor belt, but more so sushi "boat" using water flow. Sushi chefs would premake nigiri and jive ass rolls, put them on…

511 Borregas Ave
Sunnyvale, CA 94085

Kate T. writes: Standard disclaimer: i'm a vegetarian. I don't eat fish.

4193 Cushing Pkwy
Fremont, CA 94538

Abi V. writes: I came here for my pre-birthday dinner on a Thursday night and it was really empty!
