They've been open for about a year, and I'm not sure why this was only our first visit, but we had a great experience. This isn't your fancy date-night sushi spot, but it definitely feels like the kind of neighborhood staple families can come back to during the week. The interior is fun and well put together, and the menu has enough variety for different tastes and ages. They even have a few kid-friendly options, which isn't something you always find at sushi restaurants. One of the standouts for us was the smoked sashimi served on a salt rock. It was a fun presentation and tasted great. The sashimi in general was also cut very generously, with noticeably larger pieces than what we typically get at other sushi restaurants. The oysters were also excellent. Service was great throughout our visit, the food was good, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Most importantly for us, it was very family-friendly. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to.
I came here after seeing it recommended on Yelp and am happy to say that it lived up to expectations! I tried the funky rice-less Green Secret Roll (cucumber wrapped with salmon, tuna, imitation crab) which was fresh and yummy, the Mango Crunch Roll (like a spicy tuna with a piece of fresh mango with avocado and salmon) - also so good, and the combo tempura (2 shrimp + assorted veggies -- the good assortment with pumpkin and broccoli, not just onion lol). I also had the salmon belly nigiri which was a two piece dish. The salmon was seared to perfection and deliciously rich. Ambiance is on the casual side. Saw lots of families with kids, groups of teens, and older couples around for a Sunday night dinner. Tables are spread out so it doesn't feel too crowded. We'll definitely be back!
We ate at Goku Sushi on a Saturday evening. There were many parking spaces in the plaza. The restaurant is medium-sized, holding up to 100 people. When we arrived, we got seated immediately. The host was flexible with us, allowing us to choose where we could sit. The restaurant is quite calm and has moderate noise. We ordered four rolls for two people. Our favorite was the Goku Special (10/10) since the crunchy outer layer matched perfectly with the fish flavor inside the roll. We rated the Dragon Roll 9/10, Mango Crunch 8/10, and Golden California Roll 7/10. All the rolls were delicious. We would definitely return here to eat sushi again!
This is a pretty middle-of-the-road sushi spot; its menu offers pretty standard sushi restaurant fare, including some rice plate and udon options alongside the usual appetizers, nigiri, sashimi, and rolls. The decor is a bit trite, but it's well lit and clean. The parking lot was crowded, but the restaurant itself wasn't overly busy, so we were seated immediately. The service was good--the servers were very friendly and attentive, and our food came out pretty quickly after we ordered as well. We ordered two of the sashimi sampler alongside the hamachi lover roll. I liked the roll! The ratio of fish, rice, and avocado were great. The sashimi sampler, however, was a little disappointing. The presentation was a little awkward--long, thin cuts of fish folded up into little bowls and scattered with greens. 4 of the 6 pieces were seared, which I have never expected when ordering sashimi. The pricing was a little on the higher end of normal, and, while the food was decent, it doesn't outdo any of the other local sushi spots that I have visited in the area. The roll was ~$17 and the sashimi sampler nearly $18. Overall, I think Goku Sushi is a decent spot. If I'm nearby and craving sushi, it is definitely in the running, even if it isn't my first choice. I'd personally ask for details on the contents of any of their samplers/combos in the future, though.
2/21/2026 same w friends Welcomed and seated. A corner shop w plenty of seating. Asked the server if the lunch menu set was still an option as it was just one min past the promo. They were very accommodating and allowed it. I got the sushi combo and shishito pepper as an appetizer. The sushi combo came w a miso soup, rice, salad, 4 piece California roll, two gyoza, and 5 nigiri. All the sushi I ate were delicious. The shishito was overcooked so it was kinda rubbery. Very not good. And pretty much the only down side. I even recommended the dish to my friend which I felt bad. -1 Love the location and the food.
I came here end of December for my friend's birthday. She chose this place, so we decided to give it a try. We went on a weekday, so there wasn't a lot of customers when we arrived. We weren't too hungry so we decided to order and share food. We got the lion king, mango crunch, a cream cheese roll, house salad, raw oysters and beer. Our favorite rolls here ended up being the mango crunch and the lion king roll. The lion king roll is baked and is flavorful. It was comparable to cha cha sushi's for us. The mango crunch was another favorite because my boyfriend and friend said they could valley taste the mango in there unlike when we go to other sushi restaurants. My friend and I enjoyed the raw oysters, but my boyfriend didn't like it because he said he could taste the sea water from it. I ended up eating his since I couldn't taste what he was tasting haha. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the sushi here. I'll be back again when I'm craving sushi to try the other food items on the menu. Service was friendly making our meal more enjoyable. Ambiance felt nice and like home inside. They also had Dragon Ball Z decor referencing the store's name. Multiple tables started to arrive was we were getting ready to leave, so I guess we came before the rush.
This place is a cute little restaurant with some Goku decor, hence the name. We were seated quickly for lunch on a Sunday. Service was pretty quick and attentive. The food was good but not mind blowing, the hotate and toro were pretty good of all of the nigiri I had. The karage had a nice crunch but a bit salty to me and tempura had a bit more batter than I prefer. We got the Goku and Ultimate shrimp delight rolls and they were good This is a simple Japanese restaurant if you wanted something quick!
We had a 5:00 PM reservation at Goku Sushi for a large family group of 14, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. We ordered a wide variety of dishes and everything was really good. Our order included tempura appetizers, grilled whole squid, hamachi kama, the Goku Family Boat, salmon teriyaki plate, beef teriyaki plate, chicken udon, and several rolls -- Kayla Roll, Goku Special Roll, Climax Rolls, Lion King Roll, and Mango Crunch Roll. Every dish came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The highlights for me were the beef teriyaki, the Goku special roll, and especially the Goku Family Boat, which was perfect for sharing and a huge hit with our group. The servers were very attentive and handled our large party smoothly, which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be back -- especially since we noticed they offer lunch specials too. Highly recommend!
Checked out Goku Sushi for the first time. Been eyeing this new sushi spot for sometime as it is close to my house. Restaurant is really colorful and clean. The service here was excellent. I had the Mango Crunch which was made to perfection. I loved that roll. I got the classic California Roll which was solid and the gyoza was very crispy and flavorful. Definitely coming back soon to check out their amazing lunch specials.
Great food! Great Service! We enjoyed our first visit and will go back for sure. Portion sizes were very excellent and sushi was fresh! We are happy to have a wonderful neighborhood gem like this. We recommend that you support your local merchants!
Wow. Just incredibly underwhelming & disappointing visit. Having been to Goku multiple times (and loving it every time) I was excited to show my family this place. The rolls were underwhelming and nothing to rave home about. The worst part about the meal was definitely the Sashimi. All the fish looked discolored and tasted old. It felt like they were using up their last supply of fish before a new delivery or something. Mind you the sashimi we received today was $60 of garbage. On top of the bad cuts of fish, I'm just embarrassed I raved about how good they were to my family.
Went here for the first time with my mom and I was pleasantly pleased. The wait staff was incredibly attentive, everything looked clean and organized, the menu selection was larger than I anticipated, and the food was good. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and came out in a timely manner. Literally, no complaints. Even the parking is easy and convenient.
I've been here on two separate occasions now, and overall the food is pretty solid for the price. The first time, I came during lunch and took advantage of their 3-roll deal for $18. I got the spicy salmon, spicy scallop, and Philadelphia roll. Everything was surprisingly filling and tasty, perfect for a quick, fast lunch. The only small note is that while the spicy scallop roll was good, it wasn't actually very spicy. On my second visit, I ordered the Lion King and the baked scallop roll. Both were super affordable, delicious, and honestly a must-try. You also have to get the salmon belly fusion, so soft and flavorful. We also tried the mango crunch roll, and while it was good, I think it would be even better with more mango since I didn't really taste any mango. The staff here are really friendly and the service is consistently good. The store is also kept clean, which is always a huge plus. Definitely a great spot for tasty rolls at good prices!

My dine-in experience wasn't the greatest toward the end of the visit. When I first entered the restaurant, the staff was very welcoming and greeted both me and my plus-one warmly. Once we were seated, our server was attentive and quickly came over to take our order. My plus-one and I ordered the Orange Blossom Roll, Mango Crunch Roll, Golden California Roll, and Delight Shrimp Roll. All of the rolls came out super quickly and were delicious, but there was one thing that disappointed me: the Mango Crunch Roll. There wasn't much mango in the roll itself. Usually, whenever I order this particular roll, there is mango inside, but this one didn't have any. I guess this is their own interpretation of what a Mango Crunch Roll should be. While my plus-one was enjoying his rolls, he ran out of water, but unfortunately, our server never came back to check on us or ask if we needed a refill. It would have been nice if they had checked in with us at least once during the meal. The ambiance of the restaurant is decently put together, with fake cherry blossoms and photos of different sushi and nigiri. Overall, I thought the atmosphere was okay and gave the restaurant a nice touch. One downside my plus-one mentioned was that he wished the menu had photos to help differentiate between the different rolls, especially since he is more of a visual person. Yes, you can look at photos of the menu items through their To-Go mobile app, but it feels different when you're trying to enjoy the experience of dining in without having to pull out your phone and look everything up. Would I come back here again? Probably, but mainly for the lunch deals. That's when I felt the experience was actually worth it for me. read more

We were in the area and wanted to try a new restaurant. Found this place less than a mile from where we were at. So glad we found it! Goku Sushi opened up in our hometown of Morgan Hill and just opened up this new location in South San Jose. Ambiance was inviting and friendly with good decor. Servers were all friendly and refilled our waters without being asked. The rolls were reasonably priced considering we frequent a lot of sushi restaurants not just in the Bay Area but also out of state. The Baked Rolls were $13.95, which is way less expensive than other sushi restaurants and the flavors were very delicious. Our son ordered the Lion King with baked salmon and I ordered Bay Island with baked scallops. We all agreed that the Bay Island was the bomb! The Unagi Avocado roll & Warrior Roll was also tasty. Especially the garlic chips on top of unagi sauce and seared salmon. delicious ! Nice combo. Kinda disappointed that they didn't serve wine but was able to order a hot sake to share and it was still satisfying and complimented the meal. Will be definitely coming back to try the lunch specials and other specialty rolls! read more

Hi Joy!!!…
I've been to a lot of sushi spots, but Goku Sushi in San Jose really impressed me. From the second I walked in, the vibe was super welcoming. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the place had a chill, cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the Kayla Roll, Mango Crunch, and Hamachi Roll, and each one was next level. The Kayla Roll was a perfect balance of flavors and textures, with fresh fish, creamy avocado, and a nice spicy kick that had me hooked. Then there was the Mango Crunch. I wasn't sure how the mango would work with sushi, but trust me, it was a game changer. The sweetness of the mango paired with the crunch was so refreshing. And don't get me started on the Hamachi Roll. It was so fresh and buttery, it practically melted in my mouth. Every roll was packed with flavor and made with top quality ingredients. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to for both the food and the great service. If you're in San Jose and craving sushi, do yourself a favor and check this place out. I can already tell it's going to be one of my go to spots. read more
There are not that many authentic Japanese restaurants south of Saratoga in the South Bay, for the ones that are out here, most of them are just selling Japanese-style food, especially the ones with a lot of specialty rolls on the menu. Goku Sushi I would say is above average, their fish in sashimi are pretty fresh and their dinner set are pretty large in portion, the restaurant inside is nicely designed and very clean. staff members are very friendly so that is a plus. We will be back for lunch if we don't feel like driving up north to get japanese food. read more

Came in on a Monday around 6:30 PM with a party of five and were seated immediately. We ordered the Lion King Roll, Dragon Roll, Mango Crunch Roll, and the Sashimi Special. Unfortunately, the sashimi was by far the worst I've ever been served at a restaurant. The fish appeared discolored, old, and slimy. When we asked our server what types of fish were included, we were told tori, salmon, albacore, yet the almost every piece (minus the salmon) had a brownish-gray appearance that was extremely unappetizing. I'm not sure if we happened to receive the last of their inventory for the week, but serving fish in that condition at full price ($60) is kind of crazy. Some of the sashimi looked comparable to raw pork that had been sitting out, which was honestly concerning. The sushi rolls were also disappointing. They were very average, with flavors and quality that reminded me of grocery store sushi. Nothing stood out or justified the price point. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. I was especially let down because this restaurant came highly recommended by a family member who has dined here multiple times and always had positive experiences. To make matters worse, I developed stomach discomfort within about 15 minutes of leaving the restaurant. I had been looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations. read more

Tried this new spot.. and had a good experience. They really redid the inside (this has been so many businesses in the last few years) and made it nice with lots of booth seating options. Service was good- everyone was friendly and attentive. Menu is really big (too big) but we ordered a few things to try. Sushi was good- standard rolls that you would expect at any sushi place. Overall, nothing groundbreaking, but solid. read more

Picked the place for the name and the ratings compared to others in the area with 3.5 stars. Ordered a chicken teriyaki bento online, totaling me $17.99 after tax. The wait was minimum 35min from the time of ordering. Now, I've never had a bad bento from any joint, but I guess today was that day. I came in 10minutes before my order was due just to check in on it, but it was already ready in the window. My food was not hot and I was already skeptical. By the time I got back to the office from the 6min drive, all of the food was no longer warm. I never received a notification that my food was ready and have no clue as to how long it had been sitting. But look, if the taste was still good, I can look past it. The amount of chicken was very measly and had near no color. It was incredibly dry, easily the worst chicken I've had from over 20 years of eating chicken teriyaki bentos. It may have been the ONLY bad one I've ever had, because how do you mess that part up?? The gyoza was cold and the 4pc California roll was small compared to bentos in other eateries and tasted way too sharp. The miso soup actually tasted nice, but they didn't even fill it up that much. I think I've only experienced one other time where the place skimped on the miso soup and that place is closed now. Even the dressing for the salad they filled the container very little. It was a wild experience to be honest. It was one bad note or component after another, I had to just laugh at the situation. I'd say skip this place and order elsewhere. You can better quality at a better price point. No price can make up for such poor quality food. Even those 3-star places were better than this one. Unpleasantly surprised, I'm now wondering if someone working there had some grudge against me, haha. Oh, and order over the phone if you do decide to try it out for pick up! (Not a one star because the miso wasn't bad and the person greeting me was very nice and provided good service) read more

Honestly I don't get how this place got such good reviews on Yelp. The mango salad was ok. The fusion sushi was ok, but because of the sauce and other things they put on there, not the fish and the rice. When we ordered just nigiri, the fish didn't look super fresh, and the rice was quite dense. Definitely not the quality that we expected from a good sushi place. read more

Went to this place on a week day night with my girlfriend and had a great time. The owner is so sweet and treats every customer with care. The food is super good and super affordable! I really enjoyed having the rolls and I would definitely recommend the Philadelphia roll it was my favorite. The owner and her daughter was so sweet and gave us gyoza for free. Overall really enjoyable experience and will defiantly become my go to spot to eat sushi whole in the area. Go here if you want an amazing friendly atmosphere with even more amazing food. read more

Hi M D…

Ate here for a family birthday celebration this past weekend. What we got: Hamachi Lover roll (2/5) -- The hamachi was fine, but overall way too acidic. I think the vinaigrette they serve the roll on top of soaks into the rice and a lot of us did not like the flavor Goku roll (4/5) -- overall good flavors and textures but sometimes, too much of the sauce depending on the piece you get. Sauce reminded me of thousand island dressing Miss Saigon roll (2/5) -- felt more like eating salad and there was an overwhelming amount of dressing that made it hard to appreciate any of the fish Casanova roll (4/5) -- I have never seen a roll like this before and enjoy the creativity. The greens that garnish the roll were unnecessary for me and made it kind of bitter but the rest of the components went well together Warriors roll (4/5) -- standard Warriors roll, I enjoyed it. The seared salmon was very buttery Dragon roll (3/5) -- I did not taste this but others mentioned there were minimal amounts of unagi Salmon skin hand roll (2/5) -- My mum mentioned that she got salmon in this and not much salmon skin Katsu plate (2/5) -- dry and flavorless Chicken teriyaki plate (3/5) -- standard I would say stick to their sushi over their cooked items. Prices are reasonable and service is average. Overall, a solid sushi place. read more
Parking was easy to find and the restaurant is right at the corner. When we arrived at 6:30 PM on a Friday there were still a few tables left so we were able to get seated right away. Service was pretty quick and our food came out at decent time. What we ordered: - chicken karaage (really good and has a strong seasoning) - gyoza (nothing special but was nice and crispy) - supreme shrimp roll (not bad) - 8 piece nigiri set also comes with california roll (some fish were more fresh than others) If I were to come back next time I would order a la carte from the fusiob sushi page. Overall, decent dinner if you're craving sushi read more

Came here on Saturday at lunch with my son, wife and dad. It was slow so the food came out fast which was great. Ordered my son his golden California roll first and came in within 5 mins. We got the bento box, miss Saigon, Mango roll, and lion king. Nothing special about each roll, the Mango roll was good, mangos were fresh. Ms Saigon was our least favorite. Something about sweet and sour chili on a roll was a bad idea. Ordered it because my dad likes spring mix and salads, but the spring mix we overwhelming the fish. Biggest thing was an issue of ordering the bento box, normally you think minimum was 2 items per bento. So I ordered the chicken and salmon, however the first bento came out with just chicken and I asked where was the salmon. Then they informed me a second whole bento box was coming and I wanted to cancel it because I did not way to pay for two bento box. It was my mistake for not reading up top of the description, but either way as a customer you would hope they would be ok with it. So I accepted it, but when they even brought it out look how small that salmon was... For these reasons I gave two stars. I did like the speed of the restaurant, and attentiveness read more

Came here for dinner with a party of 3 adults, 1 toddler. With 2 out of the 4 being super sushi lovers, this just had to be on the menu for dinner. A quick search on Yelp took us to Goku Sushi. Our party's arrival was met with immediate seating. Menus were brought out along with waters. Here you will find all of your Japanese favorites. Our purchases: *Dragon Roll *Golden California Roll *Goku Special *California Roll *Miso Soup x2 *Fried oysters *Sashimi Special *Salmon Belly Nigiri The food started flowing out quick. One platter after another just kept coming but lucky for us, we're big eaters! Fish tasted clean & fresh, the rolls were good in size, and the food tasted great. The only item we could have done without was the miso soup since it was bland. 5 stars because of good food and kind customer service. Goku Sushi is out of the way but I'd easily come back. read more

Cute interior, friendly staff, ok bathrooms. I wasn't impressed with the nigiri but my friend got sushi rolls and she said she liked them. The karaage I got was kinda hard and didn't look like some of the pics on yelp, so maybe I came of a bad day? Idk. One of the those sushi places you'd go to for the rolls or bentos only. read more

I've been working near blossom hill for 4 years and I just now discovered this sushi spot. The lunch specials are a super good deal here. 2x 6-8 piece rolls for $13 or 3x 6-8 piece rolls for $18. Usually I avoid eating too much sushi because it gets expensive, but this place is a great price! The fish itself is fresh and I love the variety you can choose from (12-15 different types of rolls for the lunch special). Service is pretty quick here and it doesn't get too busy which is surprising. I haven't had a wait coming here between 12-1:30 pm with groups of 3-6 so far. Definitely would recommend coming here for sushi! read more

Overpriced and horrible customer service. Baked mussels in person they bake with a ton more sauce. You order to go and it's super dry with little to no sauce. I think because my friend is a disabled person they thought they can sell him expensive baked mussels that is this low quality, like he wasn't going to notice. Well they were right. He didn't notice but I am not disabled and I did notice it the moment he took these two orders of baked mussels out of the bag. Now we know the level of service we will get and the quality of the food we will receive if we are slow or handicap. read more
Location This hidden gem is tucked away in a quiet area with plenty of parking, making it easy to get in and out without hassle. It's conveniently located next to a bagel shop and a few other small stores, giving the area a cozy neighborhood feel. The setting is peaceful and inviting--perfect for a relaxing meal. Food Let's start with the oysters--because they truly stole the show. Incredibly fresh and clean, they were so good I couldn't resist ordering a second round. Everything else I tried lived up to the hype. The sushi roll was a great size and packed with flavor, while the sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth buttery and exceptionally fresh. I paired it all with a crisp, cold large Asahi--because sometimes, beer is the perfect companion to great sushi. Service The service was outstanding. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the meal. The entire staff was warm and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. read more
