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.

Green Secret Roll
Angel T.

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!

Mango Crunch Roll
Jenny D.

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!

Hamachi Lover Roll
Rui Y.

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.

Shishito peppers
Julia L.

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!

Gyoza
John L.

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!

Sashimi Special Extra, Dragon Roll, Mango Crunch, & Goku Special Roll
Jacklyn T.

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.

I wish I had made it in time for lunch soecials. I'll need to come back.
Krys Y.

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.

Bay Island Roll
Christina T.

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!

Great sushi and service! The staffs were really friendly. Seared salmon was one of the best dish we had here. Definitely will come back!

My go-to sushi spot near me that NEVER fails…read more Yoshi Sushi is my reliable easy sushi spot in San Jose. Quick, casual, good value, hefty portion, plenty of variety, and convenient whether I'm grabbing lunch to-go or looking for a late-night dinner. I usually stick to what I know and rotate between the Warriors Roll, Dinosaur Roll, Dragon Roll, and 49ers Roll, along with nigiri. The fish has been fresh, the rolls are well made, and I've been consistently happy with my orders. For lunch, I'm guilty of getting the Lunch Combo 2 or 3 item because the deals are just THAT good. They also have late-night offers, which make this a great option all around. Full transparency: I haven't really explored the rest of the menu. I haven't tried their omakase set or many of their hot, non-sushi dishes because I've been perfectly content rotating through my usual favorites. Why mess with a good thing? One downside is parking. The plaza is always busy, and with so many food delivery drivers around, finding a spot can be annoying. But location is great - lots of boba options nearby.

We've always enjoyed coming here for sushi, and our past experiences with the food have been great…read more However, our most recent visit was disappointing and has changed our perception of the restaurant, at least when it comes to their ramen. With the weather getting colder, my husband and I decided to order soup along with our usual sushi. I ordered the udon, and he ordered the spicy miso ramen. Everything was fine until the ramen arrived. As soon as we took our first sips of the broth, we immediately looked at each other because the flavor was unmistakably familiar. After tasting it, we both agreed that it tasted just like Shin Instant Ramen. Out of curiosity, we asked our waiter whether the ramen was made with instant noodles. Unfortunately, the waiter confirmed that it was indeed instant ramen. This was incredibly disappointing, especially considering that the dish was presented on the menu as spicy miso ramen and priced as a restaurant meal. We understand that we are dining at a sushi restaurant, not a dedicated ramen shop, and perhaps we should have managed our expectations accordingly. However, there is a difference between offering a simple ramen dish and charging restaurant prices for what tastes like packaged instant noodles dressed up with extra chili powder and standard ramen toppings. We expected more than something we could easily prepare at home for a fraction of the price. What makes this experience particularly disappointing is that we genuinely enjoy this restaurant and have always been happy with the sushi. We don't expect every dish to be exceptional, but we do expect the quality to reflect the price and the description on the menu. We will likely continue coming back for the sushi, but we would not recommend ordering the spicy miso ramen. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling misled and questioning the value of what we were served.

Interior looks same as I remembered, service was also pretty friendly. We ordered a 12 piece sashimi plate, tempura shrimps and a sunshine roll to share. The sashimi plate served with miso soup and salad came with almost 20 pieces, the chef was generous; not only the fish was fresh, he also added some fresh wasabi which really enhanced the flavors. The tempura was ok to me, but hubby enjoyed the crunchy shrimps quite well. The sunshine roll was my least favorite primarily because it's too sweet perhaps just a matter of personal preference. We also received two pieces of complimentary grilled salmon belly, they were fresh, moist, with crispy skin; simply delicious. Very glad that we rediscovered Suro, will be back again soon.

I wanted to come to Suro originally because of their raw octopus, which is a delicacy since it is still moving when you eat it.
