    Tofu donburi
    Melissa G.

    This place is okay. Not terrible but also not too memorable. The service was a bit chaotic when we went on a Thursday evening, it's a small place but the servers seemed a bit flustered. We tried a variety of items: tofu donburi, bento box and a few different rolls.

    Sunshine & Red Dragon Gyoza (5 Pieces) Edamame
    Kim F.

    Came here on New Year's Eve, cute and intimate place. Glad they were open because everything was delicious! We got four rolls and all were a hit, they provided complimentary gyoza which was crispy and tasty. Service was great, only one person taking orders and there was no issues. Definitely coming back(:

    Baked roll

    The food is terrific. Came here after 1pm on a Friday to beat the lunch crowd and found parking easily. The parking in the plaza is awful during the lunch rush most days. Got seated and served really fast. I forgot my sunglasses in the restroom and the waitress brought them out to me. So nice! Thank you!!! This was my second time here and I'll definitely be back. The place is small and cozy, relaxed and not too loud.

    Sushi Combo Plate
    Ron P.

    Came for a Saturday lunch and was seated immediately for a party of two. There's only one server which makes it so that even though the restaurant isn't busy it takes a while to get the server's attention. We weren't even served water before we almost finished our meal which we had to ask for. The sushi combo plate that I got was ok, but Sushi Tomi nearby is miles above in quality in my opinion.

    Spicy Chicken
    Arvind S.

    Picked up a Spicy Chicken plate, it came with rice, salad, a dressing, and soup. Very good portion of the chicken, given the plate is slightly on the expensive side. It was more of a chicken teriyaki flavor profile with a kick of spice to it (not sure what type of spicy sauce was used), but it tasted good. It was pretty saucy. Just about right for a dinner. I was not very fond of the miso soup, I felt it was a little overpowering for me. Overall I'd say 3.5/5. Nice ambience and a decent sized parking lot, a couple of other restaurants in the complex as well. They get the food ready pretty quick.

    Crunch Roll

    I've been looking for my go-to sushi place in the area and I've found it!! Joy sushi is great all around. Amazing selection of sushi, affordable, fast service, and delicious! My guests and I came in on a Friday at 5:30pm and were seated and served promptly. It seems like this is a popular place for takeout as there were quite a few tables available. If you are looking for a no frills, great sushi, amazing service, and affordable place- joy sushi is your spot!

    LOVED this small local spot! Very fresh rolls, I believe the owners were making the rolls & they were so kind, the rolls were made very quick and were full of so much flavor! The island roll and the monster roll are pictured and probably our favorite two we tried of the night! 12/10 recommend!

    2 Item Bento Box Lunch
    Jessica M.

    I came to Joy Sushi with a friend for dinner. He had raved about it and it is his favorite sushi place. We came around 6:30 pm on a Tuesday and were able to be seated right away. I tend to like simple rolls without too much sauce where you can really taste the individual ingredients in the roll. I told the friend that- but even still the rolls all had a lot of sauce. I probably should have been more assertive in the ordering process- but since he said it was his favorite place and he had been there a ton, I figured he would know what was good. I was hugely disappointed- but may go back again to give Joy Sushi another chance and order on my own. I had a much better experience when I came for lunch a few months ago!

    Sushi Boat Joy Special
    Hyojeong H.

    The owner and staff were incredibly kind and treated me like family. The tempura was the best I've ever had crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! The sushi was fresh and tasted amazing, and the sushi boat was especially fresh and delightful. I highly recommend this place

    Let's start off by saying we came 30 minutes before this restaurant closed. All the staff was friendly and encouraged us to do takeout (which we were already planning). Our food was prepared quickly and packaged well. We had all the essentials that we needed; soy sauce, ginger and wasabi + napkins. Let's get to the food... there were almost too many options to decide from but the ones we picked were super tasty. My friend and I both got different dishes so we could sample from each other. I will need to go back to try more and would recommend this place to anyone in the area! Next time I will be more prepared and come earlier so I can visit inside the restaurant with whichever guest I bring!

    Unagi Donburi
    Rohan B.

    Cute, delicious, and A MUST TRY. Joy Sushi a cute Japanese joint nestled in Mountain View was an amazing spot to eat. The service from Joy Sushi was exceptional with the servers bringing a familial vibe in the restaurant. One of the servers even helped me learn how to use my chopsticks. Overall great service. The ambiance was great as well, though there wasn't LOADS of seating. The interior was very nice with lots of decorations and on the inside you could see a lot of the action happening which was cool. The food itself was GREAT. I got the Unagi Donburi which was an eel dish. The dish came with a bomb unagi sauce that tasted a little like a zesty thicker teriyaki which complemented the fattiness of the eel amazingly. The dish was the perfect portion for me to finish in the restaraunt and be full. The dish also interestingly came with some orange savory fish roe that popped. The eel was SO tasty. It was a little fatty and very tender with no overfishy taste emanating. It was overall an amazing dish that came with lots of rice. The dessert was a little less appetizing. We got strawberry and mango mochi which was ok. It tasted like one of the Trader Joe's mochi, but the presentation was beautiful and the price wasn't exorbitant. Overall Joy Sushi is a must try it provides plenty of good sushi and other entrees like my unagi donburi if sushi isn't your thing. If you are ever in Mountain View make sure to come to Joy Sushi to enjoy the delicious food, familial service, great interior, and affordable dishes.

    This place completely surprised me! I'd seen it pop up on social media a few times and finally got…read morethe chance to try it--and I'm so glad I did. It's takeout only, which made ordering super easy. We ordered online and even scored a discount through a special on their website. We got the Salmon Lover for two and the two-person combo sushi boat. We split everything between four people and still had leftovers! The fish was incredibly fresh, with generous portions. My favorite poke was the spicy mango tuna--so flavorful. They even include a mini bottle of soy sauce, which was such a cute touch. There are plenty of sides to choose from, and you get a really good amount of rice. The sushi boat is definitely on the pricier side, and I was a bit skeptical at first because of the packaging. I wasn't sure if the quality would live up to the presentation, but it absolutely did. The packaging is not only fun but also super functional--perfect for taking to the beach, a park, or a party.

    Man, I can't say enough good things about our experience with Sushi Boat!…read more Online ordering was so easy with any and all questions already answered for you and clear options. Easy pick up of our Sushi Boat for four at the Sunnyvale Food Hub, btw there's lots of parking there as well as it's easy to get in and out. We took a short drive to the Kakone Garden in Saratoga. The packaging was perfect, it kept everything nice and cold while the rice remained warm. Great portion size and super fresh ingredients. I loved the poke the best. The order also came with a card describing all items in the box in case you forgot. There is an optional "picnic pack", this include bowls and all the utensils you will need. I highly recommend this, it makes life so much easier. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. We will do this again.

    Amazing Katsu really shines where it counts: the katsu itself…read more Both the chicken and pork katsu are consistently excellent--crispy, perfectly fried, and still juicy inside. No heaviness, no grease. Just very solid comfort food done right. The double meat katsu does not come with curry sauce, even though the name and the photo make it seem like it does. What actually comes out is a lot of cabbage, a small amount of rice, and no curry. You can order curry sauce on the side, but it's a very small portion for the price--more like a dipping sauce than something you can really pour over your katsu and rice. Because of that, we usually end up making our own curry and rice at home to pair with their katsu. I personally skip the premium tonkatsu since it's a bit too fatty for me, but the regular pork and the chicken are both excellent and dependable. Bottom line: the katsu is genuinely delicious--just don't rely on the photos when ordering if curry is what you're craving.

    This spot was definitely unique, they operate out of a ghost kitchen so it's only pick up and it's…read morea little complicated but once I got the food it was good. This place was a bit far from my house but the first time I got it, the katsu stayed crispy the whole time. I honestly liked it a lot the first time that I came back to get it again the next day, but it tasted less fresh and crispy the next day, so a little inconsistent. Also the cheese got hard really fast...Also, there wasn't any service, literally just order online and pick up. Overall, I would probably get this again but only the pork katsu set instead of the cheese one!

The waiter initially tried to show me the menu and point out the dish, but it was clearly different from what I had ordered. He shortly realized there had been a mistake, and thankfully the correct dish came out about 5 minutes later. Unfortunately, the pasta itself was disappointing. The noodles were undercooked, and the sauce was quite bland. I was expecting the four-fish dashi and bacon flavor to stand out, but I didn't really get much of either. The sesame seeds were also very overpowering and seemed to take over the dish. Overall, the sauce tasted more like a basic, thin cream sauce that didn't coat the noodles very well. The bacon and mushrooms also didn't add much flavor or stand out as much as I expected. My friend ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry. The katsu itself looked crispy and appetizing, but the curry came out lukewarm. My friend was okay with the temperature, but when I tried it, I was honestly surprised by how close to room temperature it was. I would have expected the curry to at least be served hot or noticeably warm. Overall, the presentation of the food was nice, but unfortunately the flavors and temperature of the dishes didn't meet our expectations. Between the initial order mix-up, undercooked pasta, bland sauce, and lukewarm curry, it just wasn't a particularly memorable meal. There are definitely some things that could be improved.

The restaurant was pretty full so not sure how long it would take if we waited. The restaurant is inside a plaza with some other stores and restaurants but there was plenty of space even in the evening. They have a happy hour menu from 7 to 10 pm on Saturdays, but they differ depending on the day. They have some appetizers and drinks on the happy hour menu, so we tried the gyoza, mochi and side tempura. The mochi had a house made sauce glaze that was sweet and salty, and came with nori as a wrap. The texture of the mochi was really soft and chewy. The gyoza were really crispy with a soft interior. We ended up ordering a second round of them. The tempura was nicely fried with not too much batter. The shrimp was really succulent and I liked that they have mushroom tempura too. From their regular menu, we ordered a bunch of food. I tried the yaki-onigiri ochazuke with salmon, fried chicken skin, the eggplant and various skewers. The fried chicken skin was really nice and crispy, and came with a ponzu sauce and mayo to dip in. The yaki onigiri was nicely grilled and still had crispy bits when submerged in the soup.
