    Thought the place was really good. The chief was pretty engaging and funny too. We got the 16 course meal and compared to other places I thought that was great value. I know their menu does change depending on the season. As a sushi enjoyer though I've got experience fish I never go to try. I thought the openers and ending was just as good as the main course. We had 2 chief, and both of them were great. The servers were awesome too. They explained what each dish was which was p cool. Loved the japanese decor and bar going inside too. My personal favorite (outside of otaro and wagyu) was the red snapper. The shrimp opener was pretty awesome too, sweet and fresh tasting. Also the desert was great considering I do have a basis for mangos. Their sake flight, is something I'd recommend too. ONE thing I didn't enjoy was their scallop and uni dish. Normally I do like them but together it wasn't doing it for me. My friend did like it though. Great experience, would come again for a special occasion. Note: First time having Omakase

    Good entry level omakase experience! I've never had omakase before and wasn't looking to spend too much to try it for the first time, so I decided to try this place for my anniversary with my partner after hearing rave reviews. The customer service here is exceptional, they're all really nice people and very attentive. Booking a reservation was super easy online. We did the table experience and while the restaurant isn't huge, it's the perfect size for an intimate dining experience and it's well decorated. With the table experience, you get everything that the bar experience would get except the chef isn't serving it directly to you. Servers bring each course to your table after you finish each plate. For the food, every course was delicious! However, the portions are small. Great quality and the presentation is really nice, but if you have a bigger appetite or you're coming here starving, you will still be hungry at the end and probably will order more items à la carte. It does get expensive when you do this. I probably ended up spending as much as a more premium omakase, but the options we chose were really tasty so I don't have any regrets. Overall this was a great first omakase experience and I would come here again! It's really cool how they change up the menu every month.

    I came here with my girls and had my first omakase experience. The area it's located in isn't the nicest, but the inside was really cute and intimate. I think it's a nice place for a date night or to celebrate a special occasion. I enjoyed the subtle flavors in each dish and how nothing was too overpowering. The servers were also attentive throughout our meal. Overall, I really enjoyed my first omakase experience and would definitely come back!

    Came here with my fiance for his birthday and we opted to sit at the bar! We made reservations prior and I would definitely recommend doing this instead of a walk-in. The staff was very friendly and attentive to your needs. Parking was relatively easy since it has a lot but can get busy since there are other businesses around. The restaurant is modern and has a nice wine cellar in the front displaying some of their nicer bottles. Chefs were amazing and was able to tailor the amount of wasabi if you ask and didn't mind the change which is a plus ! Quality of the fish was great ! The sauces were made well- my favorite was the yuzu kosho! My fiance loved the speed of the omakase- for me it was a little too fast. We loved every piece that came, we even ordered extras off the a la carte menu (10/10 for this lol). We definitely will be coming back to this place! Chef tole us that they rotate their menu every 8th of the month so be on the look out on instagram !

    There was a lot of waiting but the food was decent and service was really nice and friendly! We were seated 15 minutes after our reservation time. We got the omakase and added uni handrolls and ocean trout nigiri. Like another review mentioned, it took over half an hour for just the first 3 courses. The restaurant seating interior looks like some kind of cafe that was redone to try to make it look like a restaurant. It's not the best omakase we've had in the area but it was decent especially for the price!

    Service was 12/10 Food 8/10 Price 7/10 First of all, the service was GREAT. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal. As for the omakase itself, the quality and price were pretty average compared to other omakase spots in the Bay Area. The alcohol menu was also noticeably on the pricey side. But the dessert was a major disappointment. After enjoying a really good omakase, I was honestly expecting the meal to end on a high note. Instead, we were served what tasted like a cheap, flavored cream puff. It felt completely out of place with the rest of the meal. I wouldn't have complained if they had simply served a good-quality matcha ice cream or something simple. But this dessert was so underwhelming that it actually interfered with the flavors I had just enjoyed and left a bad taste at the end of an otherwise good meal. Dessert may seem like a small part of the experience, but when you're paying for an omakase, the last bite matters. This one unfortunately brought down my overall impression of the meal quite a bit.

    Probably one of the best Omakase values in the Bay Area! Blue Pagoda is a very unassuming venue tucked away in the corner of a shopping plaza. While it's not the best I had, the entire experience was brilliant. I don't think there is a better value around. Parking was not an issue, with plenty of spaces in open lot, although it does tend to get crowded during peak hours. The interior decor is minimalist and elegant. I'd call this a medium size venue with a decent amount of seating inside. Personally I'd opt to sit at the bar...always For those seeking intimacy with a view of the chef's craft, the sushi bar offers an elevated experience. Each dish was prepared and presented one by one, allowing you to witness the artistry and precision of every slice, every flame, and every delicate garnish as it happened before our eyes. #Omakase: Appetizers: ~ Monkfish liver pate mousse with seaweed crisps - 5/5 sold buttery and melts in your mouth. ~ Chasu pork - mustard that clears your nose just like wasabi ~ Matsutake mushroom with shiso vinegar sauce - Matsutake mushroom matcha ~ Japanese Tai with Yuzu Salt - 5/5 (Sea bream snapper with Citrus Salt) Japanese Red Snapper ~ Shima Aji with Ume Sauce - 5/5 (Striped-jack with Plum paste) A very pleasant, sweet finish. ~ Hokkaido it's scallops arlet put fish eggs 5/5 Sweet succulent! ~ Smoked Kanpachi with Nam Jim Sauce - 5/5 (Smoked Amberjack with Thai Nam Jim sauce) Jalapeno Cilantro Yuzu Their specialty. ~ Hon Maguro Akami with Nori Sauce - 5/5 (Bluefin Tuna Lean cut with Simmered Kelp in Soy Sauce) Blue fan tuna with seaweed sauce 5/5 So good Fatty ~ Zuke Hon Maguro Chutoro with Kizami Wasabi - 5/5 (Marinated Bluefin Tuna Chutoro with Pickled wasabi) Medium Fatty Tuna w/ wasabi 5/5 ~ Hon Maguro Otoro with caviar - 5/5 (Bluefin tuna Fatty belly with caviar) Fatty Tuna with caviar - 5/5 and Gold Flakes ~ Fatty tuna roll with marinated salmon eggs - 5/5 ~ A5 Japanese Wagyu Beef with Yuzu Pepper A5 - 5/5 Peppery, melts in your mouth Undeniable value... Brilliant experience Cheers!

    The omakase here was delicious! Nigiri was melt in your mouth yummy. Every single dish was great but my favorite was the egg custard , chawanmushi and Wagyu nirgiri. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 The Wagyu omakase was a cute experience! All of the courses were very yummy. Service was phenomenal! The server was very attentive and had very good recommendations. The mustard was a bit overpowering in the Wagyu sando but everything was very pleasant. Would definitely recommend this experience! I can't wait to come back to try the regular omakase.

    Came here for a birthday and my party left feeling that it is too expensive. The interior is open and loud, but for a place with food so expensive we expected it to be more formal and quiet. Based on just the food, it is not worth it. Should be much cheaper for $70pp. The fish was fine, but the meal itself wasn't super well thought-out and I wasn't much impressed by most of it. Not for me, won't be returning.

    Some of the nigiri selection
    Eric I.

    This is a more broadly accessible omakase experience, priced at $118/person at the sushi bar (maybe $10 less at a table) and consists of 4 appetizers, 9 nigiri sushi, a squid rice with soup, and a small dessert. Before getting into the food, let's talk about the location and inside decor. The location is not the greatest in terms of seeing it from the outside - it's in a rundown strip mall that looks like it's definitely seen better days. BUT, once you get inside, it has its own atmosphere and is well decorated and has none of the run down vibes of the exterior surroundings. So that's good - the presumably cheaper rent is probably one way to make this more affordable. We sat at the sushi bar, which I think is worth the premium. It's just more like a traditional omakase experience where the sushi chefs explain what they're serving and put the nigiri on your plate in front of you. The chefs seem to be having a good time and engage with you in a friendly way. Of the four appetizers, I liked the fried fish (crisp and tasty) and the first one (was it a crudo, I'm not positive). The snow crab chawanmushi (I labelled it soup in the picture, sorry) was good too. Only the mashed ahi mixture (not pictured) was only OK - vaguely fishy. The nigiri were all good, but more conservatively sized. Smaller rice balls and relatively thin pieces of fish - some places give you a big hunk/mouthful, but these were modestly sized. Again, probably a concession to the price point. But all tasted quite good and some had nice touches like caviar topping with gold leaf and the like. I didn't try to upload pictures for all 9 nigiri - it just seemed like a lot and I'm sure other people have uploaded pics of the ones I missed. The baby squid rice was a bit subpar - the rice just didn't have a lot of flavor, not the squid. The miso soup was standard/normal. The dessert was nice, light, and not too sweet. To be honest, I was a little hungry after the meal was over. It's hard for me to say whether it was that I had a light lunch and lots of wine throughout the afternoon before I had this dinner, or just that the courses while plentiful, were small. Among all the omakases I've had, this is probably in the middle to maybe slightly below the average. But I'm still rating it 5 star because it's also less expensive than the average omakase, and I think that counts for something in terms of making this more accessible to people as well as giving you the option of having a nice omakase meal without busting the bank even if you do like to occasionally really go all out and spend $250-300+ on something that's really exclusive and special. This has a bit more of a mass production vibe to it. For example, the chefs were making larger quantities of nigiri and storing it in metal containers as shown in one of my pics. Why? I'm not sure, because I don't think they pulled from those for anyone at the bar and I don't recall seeing them pull from there for the tables either. So that was a bit of a mystery to me since I don't think they have take out. But it didn't bother me - it was just something you wouldn't see normally. So I can recommend this as a relatively affordable omakase that's served in a pleasant environment with friendly service and chefs.

    Came here for the first time to celebrate my husband and my birthdays, together with our daughter. Blue Pagoda was recommended to me by Yelp's algorithm. After looking at the reviews online, I made a reservation for 6:30pm last Saturday, even though it was at the corner of a strip mall kind of out of the way for us. The restaurant was pretty full when we arrived and we're seated at the bar promptly. The place was decorated beautifully with large bonsai trees, hanging Japanese umbrellas, and bamboo lamp shades. The tables and bar seatings were kind of tightly packed, though. It's more of a busy and fun restaurant vibe vs the usual relaxing higher-end omakase vibe. Service was friendly and we're given a QR code to scan for the menu. Out of the 4 appetizers, I liked the snow crab chawanmushi the best. It was warm and mild with a nice consistency, and not fishy at all. The 9 nigiri selections were not bad. Fish was fresh and flavorful. Just nothing too fancy. I liked that they use brown rice, and each piece had a different sauce. Besides spraying edible gold dust on the wagyu nigiri, Chef also sprayed some gold dust at us and on the back of our hands. It seemed that he was having as much fun as we did. The only disappointing dish was the firefly squid rice in the warm course. The whole dish was pretty bland and the firefly squid internals bursting in your mouth was an acquired taste we didn't really care for. The complimentary soufflé cheesecake slices for our birthdays were a nice touch, and the cherry blossom mousse dessert with multiple layers inside was done really well, too. Overall, this was a very affordable omakase served in a fast pace. It's still very enjoyable if you set your expectations right. My daughter actually preferred this vs a more refined, slower pace omakase. I think it's worthwhile to pay a little extra for the chef-led experience at the bar vs getting the courses in waves at the table. Unfortunately, their bar seating was really uncomfortable for me with short legs. I never had that problem at other omakase restaurants nor bars, though.

    Omakase in the North San Jose! I couldn't believe the price point for the offerings and great service. I'm already planning a trip back soon! Long overdue review as I dined in during the soft opening. I was excited to find reservations on short notice during the dinner rush. Food / Drinks Dined in for dinner and as a part of the omakase meal, this is what was served: Snow Crab Chawannmushi Toro Tartare Topped with Caviar and Flaked Gold Soft Boiled Octopus Smoked Kanpanchi with Nam Jin Sauce Hokkaido Scallops with Karasumi Japan Tai with Yuzu Sauce Shima Aji with Ume Sauce Salmon with Mentaiko Mayonnaise Bluefin Otoro with Kimchi Radish Sauce Zuke Bluefin Chutoro with Kazami Wasabi Okinawa Mosukuzu Miso Soup Unagi Rice Bowl Yuzu Cheesecake (complimentary for special occasion) All of the omakase items were fresh, aesthetic with the plating, and a great deal for a 13-course meal around $100 per person in the bay area! Would highly recommend visiting! Drinks Lychee Noah-Rita Matcha Sake The drinks were light and refreshing. Both were garnished with drink toppers such as lychee, mint leaves, and strawberry slices. Location / Parking Formerly a dental office turned omakase fine dining for a fraction of what you would pay elsewhere! Same plaza as Dai Thanh Market and a couple of doors from Tram Coffee 4. Parking can be limited during the dinner rush if you're looking to park near the storefront. Customer Service Excellent customer service was provided throughout the dining experience as many of the staff were attentive. The owner, Noah, even stopped by to check in and was a small world that we have a shared network of people we know. Ambiance Dimly light ambiance with zen-like aesthetic and neutral decor. There's bonsai trees, a custom bamboo bar, and wine cellar.

This restaurant used to be my favorite place, but not after my recent experience on 9/5/26. It was Friday night, but only 3 parties were already dining in. I ordered an Assorted Sashimi Plate and Saba Shioyaki Dinner after another party was seated. It took them about 20 minutes to bring out an uncooked Saba Shioyaki (Mackerel), while my sashimi (uncooked fish) dinner was still somewhere in limbo. I also realized that people who sat next to us got their food, although they came after. I refused the Saba Shioyaki Dinner and asked for the menu so I could order Hamachi Karma and Hawaiian poke salad. Another 15 minutes later, they brought out the Poke and Hamachi Karma. I was making a joke with my friend that hopefully the Karma is not uncooked. Son of a Gun! It was gelatin inside; we could see the pink bone! My friend was upset, so he stood up and complained to the waiter. My sashimi dinner finally came out, and it tasted just like frozen fish. At that point, I was completely done with this place. I paid my bill with a $10 reward card discount and gave my extra card away to the other party who had just sat down. This gesture meant that I wouldn't come back here anytime soon.

The service was really good though. Food came out fast both times after ordering. The gentleman that was helping our table was very kind and attentive. He kept coming by to check on how everything was going. The food itself was pretty good, but there is a lack of consistency from last year compared to this year. I did not want to make a fuss about it at the restaurant, but I was quite disappointed with the quality of the fish. It wasn't as fresh this time. The restaurant has a cozy vibe. There's 30 minute parking available at the front of the restaurant. It is all street parking. The first time I was here we ordered: -Dragon Roll -Beef Roll -Gyoza -Chicken Karaage -Fried Calamari -Salmon Maki -Salmon Avocado -Double Double Salmon -49ers Roll Second Time Order: -Alaska Roll -Salmon Maki -Rock n Roll -Chicken Karaage appetizer -Fried Calamari appetizer -Golden California Roll -Dragon Roll -Salmon Avocado The Alaska roll according to the menu has spicy cooked salmon, cucumber, topped with unagi sauce and tobiko. The unagi sauce seemed to be more at the bottom than drizzled at top, but the waitress was kind enough to ask me if I wanted some of the unagi sauce on the side, which was very nice. It made a big difference in terms of flavor. Eating the Alaska roll without the extra unagi sauce, I was only able to taste the Sriracha. By the way, it did not mention on the menu that the Alaska roll was going to have both spicy mayo and Sriracha on it. I'm not a fan of Sriracha. The spicy mayo I can do, but the Sriracha ruined it for me. The dragon roll was ordered last year and this year. Please see the photos for how inconsistent the roll is. There were more ingredients the first time we ordered this roll. There was more avocado last year. The gyozas were pretty good. They came out hot and crispy, but not dry. They had a good amount of flavor. The beef roll had asparagus and beef in it. It's a pretty good combination. The chicken Karaage was good both times, but I did notice it was juicier when we ordered it last year. The salmon maki was much better last year than when I ordered it this year. I am not sure if a different person was making the rolls, but the rolls didn't fall apart last time like it did today. Most importantly though, the salmon was fresher the first time I had it. They definitely changed something other than the appearance. It was also pretty upsetting that the pieces of salmon maki were uneven. Only 2 of the pieces were tall, whereas last year, I was given all 6 pieces that had the same height. It makes it look like the sushi I got today was less. I had all the photos of the sushi from last year on my old phone, so I wasn't able to show the waiter or the owner the comparison. The rock n roll is a good portion, but there was barely any bbq eel in it. It was literally just a little tiny piece in the corner of the sushi. I do appreciate that the avocado is fresh and creamy in the rolls that we ordered. 49ers roll - is one of my go to rolls for something light and refreshing. The lemon slices add a really nice touch. I love that the lemon is thinly sliced and the rind was actually included. It adds a bit of tartness to the flavor, which I find satisfying. The salmon was very fresh. I only ordered it last year and not this time since my husband and I were at a prior event that had food, but we were still craving sushi lol. The fried calamari was good, but this time that we got it, the portion was significantly smaller. I'm not sure why. It has good texture and crispiness. There was also a piece of calamari that ended up in our chicken Karaage, which we didn't know what it was at first, but later found out it was calamari lol. No complaints about the Double Salmon Roll. If you love raw salmon, more raw salmon, avocado and tobiko, that one is a good option. The Golden California roll was okay. We felt like it had too much batter though. Salmon Avocado roll was a lot better the first time we were here as well. I don't know if their raw fish supplier changed or something, but the salmon definitely didn't taste the same. I know it's been a year and some may think how do I remember? I'm a sushi fanatic/connoisseur. When I eat sushi and it's good, I have a little happy dance that I do. First time I was here I did the happy dance and that's why I wanted to come back here again. The prices are very affordable here and the service is great. However, I was pretty disappointed today (8/8/2026) with the presentation of the rolls and the freshness of the salmon or lack of freshness I should say. I would love to come back again, but I just don't want to be disappointed. I'm really hoping to have a better food experience here in the future.

I will add the service was impeccable; friendly, prompt, professional. No complaints at all. All that being said... it is 5 stars for the food! The sushi is top tier. Delicious! Fresh! Gorgeous displays. You will not find better sushi anywhere else... comparable.. sure... better? No. Fuji is top tier Sushi! Love this place.

But what can't be deduced from its exterior is what exists inside; a cute, comfy, quality sushi spot with great service that shouldn't be slept on The highlight of the meal was either snacking on the flavorful edamame or that the quality of the fish was mind-blowing. Honestly i could still imagine the experience of having that toro again and I'm craving it on my second visit I did not try any of the overwhelming amount of other rolls they offer or other entrees so on a return visit, i definitely will My Order: Toro Nigiri ($19.95) -- 10/10 Jalapeno Bomb ($9.95) -- 8.5/10 Spicy Edamame ($6.50) -- 9/10 Nigiri Sushi ($32.95) -- 9/10 Avatar Roll ($19.95) -- 8/10 Lemonade ($3.50) -- 9/10 Shark's Special Roll ($17.95) -- 8.5/10
