Let me just say how satisfied and impressed I was with the food served at Joy Sushi. The food was well presented, fresh, and deliciously tasty. I enjoy sushi, soups, and well made fish plates. It is rare for me to come to specific sushi spots because there has been few instances where the quality was not there. Joy Sushi filled my appetite and my desire to come back again soon. The service was not just pleasant but the environment as well. read more

Came here with 14 people on a Monday night and we got a whole table on the side to ourselves -- the place is small but the seating is good. We came in and were immediately seated, and they took our order quickly as well. Food: We got the gigantic sushi literal boat, which came with tons of pieces of sushi and was almost too big for all of us to finish. The sushi on it itself wasn't super stellar but it was quite delicious and came quickly. I also got the poke bowl, which was filling and the avocado and unagi sauce went well with the sashimi in it. We also got the kaarage chicken and nigiri appetizer, which were good. We also got mochi ice cream at the end which was nice! Service: They were quick to bring out food one at a time and gave us edamame on the house along with 4 pieces of mochi ice cream and watermelon. Ambiance: The place is quite casual but it has a nice homey vibe. The lighting is good through the windows to the parking lot. Would come again! They played the BTS Tear album the whole time and it was a nice touch read more

I was so happy this sushi restaurant is open during Cov19! I came on a Sunday evening saw they also provide outdoor seating as well! I was a little early to pick up my food when I ordered ahead, so I waited in my car until they called me. But they actually want you to sit in the car and they'll bring it out to you! They're so sweet! The staffs are welcoming and they greet you with open arms and enthusiasm. I order their Joy King and Dragon roll and it was delicious and flavorful. This is my Go-To Spot and I was so happy they're open during this time when my family and I are craving for sushi. Interior: They have blocked off with tables in front of the door like most restaurants are. They have menus on the table and non used pens for you to use. They're super clean and made sure that everyone is protected and safe. Thank you for the great care and service!! I'll be back again! read more

Awesome local sushi spot! Delicious food, amazing service, and fun atmosphere! The servers are very on top of service and you will not feel forgotten, even when they are busy. My girlfriend and I come here often and it is our #1 sushi spot we recommend to people! read more

First time here at Joy Sushi and I will say that their service was great. Our party of two arrived at 7pm and we were seated right away. There weren't many seats and the proximity of each table were pretty close, but the restaurant itself was small to begin with, so it was a cozy environment.The waitress was very friendly and kept checking in on us, refilling our waters, offering an extra set of chopsticks...you get the point. We were each given a bowl of miso soup and shared a bowl of edamame as starts, followed by 4 rolls (Baked Lobster Roll, Joy Scallop Roll, Megabyte Roll, and Dragon Roll). The sauce on some of the rolls were a bit too sweet for me, but the baked rolls were just right. Yes, I've had better sushi before, but overall the food was okay, portions were fair, baked rolls were enjoyable, service was impeccable, and I had good company and conversations over dinner, so thank you, Joy Sushi for the experience! read more

Ordered food on a Friday through their website. Food was fast, and it was easy to pick up my order! They also had a ton of orders for pick up. The lady who greeted me was also friendly! The value of the food is pretty good too. The sashimi and Chirashi has around 20 pieces each. For the price, it was great and definitely filling. An order of chriashi, sashimi, and a roll came out to around $80-$90. read more

Ordered three 3 items bento box, only to find out one bento box has an item missing after we got home which was too far to drive back. The receipt clearly showed three 3 item bento box was being charged. Tried to call for credit adjustment, phone was off for 1 hour during open time. How do you expect customer to reach you if you put your phone off during business hours and there is no way to contact you via website ? read more

I'm really disappointed in my visit today. I haven't been here in a while and I was surprised at the drop in quality compared to previous visits. The service was lacking and slightly surly. After my food was delivered, I didn't see her again until the check came. I set my empty tea cup on the edge of the table and she didn't even glance over so I could ask for a refill. In addition I ordered the wakame salad like I have many times in the past. It was mushy, and tasteless this time. The freshness and quality is not there to charge $6 for a couple of ounces of mushy seaweed. The dragon roll had multiple bites with shrimp shell in it which grossed me out. Add to that the $.50 charge for a to go box for two leftover pieces of mediocre dragon roll and it's enough to send me searching for a new sushi place. I do not recommend this restaurant anymore as it appears they are cutting corners on quality. read more

Stopped here for a a late dinner about an hour before closing time with a few work colleagues. Nice selection of beers, and we all got the combo. Nice selection of sushi and sashimi and rolls combined with a miso soup and some edamame made for a nice dinner with friendly service. Nothing fancy, just good and solid at a decent price. read more

Great sushi place near a fast charging station! Plan your charging before a meal time and enjoy varieties of Japanese cuisine in this hidden restaurant. Their sashimi and rolls are great. Next time I have to try Unagi. That is my validation test for a sushi place! Alternatively you can enjoy really good coffee in the same location while charging your car. read more

Listennnnn I understand at the end of the night people are tired and ready to go home but there's never cause to be rude. I came in at 8:30 to place an order for miso soup. How are you going to tell me I need to hurry up because you're closing soon then snatch the money out of my hand?!! Girl. No. The miso soup was okay but definitely not worth the attitude. If you're eating here make sure you get in early so you don't have to deal with it. read more

I'm not going to bore you with another photo others on here have provided some great photos. No I want to start at the end as a matter of fact not just the end but actually the next day. If you have ever brought home Sushi thinking "I will have the rest tomorrow" but then tomorrow comes and that tasty flavorful sushi you have before you is neither tasty or flavorful and you end up tossing it. Well I just finished my sushi from last night this sushi was flavorful, tender and still delicious. Even their spicy hot oil edame was still very good. What I'm saying is Joy Sushi uses the freshest ingredients that stand up to the next day. The staff was very friendly the music was high energy. We drove up from our home in San Jose worth the trip from wherever you reside in the Bay Area. read more

Best sushi in town!!! casual and cute chill vibe. Great customer service. Highly recommend.

Yuuuum. Great little place! Came after work and arrived around 815pm or so. No wait, which was great! I ordered the Takoyaki as an appetizer, Nigiri deluxe (I believe), and I think the 1st Roll. The Takoyaki was good! Smaller than I am used to, but good flavor. They did bring it out after our sushi which was interestingly timed. The Nigiri was delicious! The fish they used was soooo good and melted in my mouth. Really happy with it! The 1sr Roll was good- nice portion size, good flavor. I don't know if I'd personally get it again given that I prefer nigiri/sashimi, and it wasn't spectacular per se- but it was still good and I would recommend it if you like Americanized sushi rolls. I'd for sure give them a big thumbs up because my friend that I ate with Loves ginger, and they brought her a surplus of it. That was kind and accommodating! Overall this place was so good! I would come back if I was in the area. read more

VALENTINES DINNER FROM HELL!!! ... My partner and i went to joy sushi initially because it was close to us from home and we looked at the pictures and it looked good, but nothing is worth waiting over two hours for your dinner. We placed the order initially at 7:40 ish and we're told it would be 50 min. 45 min in we went over to pick up the food. The waitress goes around the counter to look for my food and she was met by another worker there both female. They said something amongst themselves in another language and continued to laugh. I stood there awkwardly waiting for a reply regarding my order only to be told it would be 10 more minutes. 20 min pass. I walk in and i ask again and the waitress does the same thing. Walks to the back and laughs with her coworker and comes over to tell me that it would be ANOTHER 5 min. Finally i had enough. I told the waitress that it was very unprofessional of them to forget my order and not tell us the right info regarding how long. At least we felt like we should have gotten compensated for the mistake they made. Long story short. This place is unprofessional, doesn't take their customers into consideration. So don't waste your time coming here. Joy sushi ! You guys need to do better. Tell your customers the truth regarding times, this could have all been avoided by being transparent. read more

My favorite sushi spot right now!! I've only been here on weeknights so I'm not sure how the weekend wait would be. Weeknights I usually come around 6/7pm and there is no wait. We're always seated right away. Super fast service here! The staff are very friendly and attentive. My two favorites here are the Salmon Lover and Hamachi Lover! They're both pretty much a giant plate of sashimi, nigiri, a handroll, and a roll. Came here for dinner last night, things are still the same as usual! I always get the same thing every time I'm here... but it always satisfies my cravings! The fish is really fresh and never fails to hit the spot. PS - they give complimentary yakult after your meal ^_^ read more

Parking: Decent Food: good Service: good As this is a sushi place, I wanna say the quality of their fish is good for the price. It's definitely not high quality fish, but overall, if you want sushi at an affordable price, this place is not bad. We mostly ordered the rolls and one plate of salmon sashimi. They were pretty good. Also, came around lunch time on a Tue, so it was quite busy. Go early if you want to avoid a potential line. We got here around 11:50AM with a party of 5 and there was no line. read more

I actually eat here a lot since it's not bad and really close to me. However, I've tried so many things on the menu and I'd say on average the quality and taste of the food is just OK. Nothing exceptional. If you're craving sushi it gets the job done. I'd stick with their rolls and fried/grilled foods. Some of the noodles and interesting dishes didn't turn out super great. Prices are always really good too! It's basically that cozy local sushi place you always find yourself going back to :) The owners are super nice and it's always a pleasant experience service wide. They usually give us extra sweets too! read more

Aw I think not. If you are coming here to celebrate a milestone birthday, don't come here. If you are still broke don't come here too. I wanted to see how good this place is after hearing about the Caltrain roll and man, it was a total flop. I had to pay $18 dollars for 8 pieces of sushi. That is very overpriced. This is not the place for low income or broke people to eat at. The service doesn't meet that of your local In N Out. It's not terrible but very substandard. However for the taste of the food they do deserve an extra star. The miso soup is on point. The Caltrain roll I ordered felt good. The bentos are good but better if you get two items. There is an unacceptable price difference between two sizes. You are better off eating at the Thai place next door with better service and more fair prices that cater to those who are broke and celebrating a milestone birthday. I know I for one won't come here again. read more

Tried a couple of rolls and their deluxe nigiri platter. Apart from the octopus on the nigiri platter everything else was fantastic. I recommend the spicy yellowtail and pull blossom... We called in for pickup, arrived about 20 mins early and still only had to wait for 5 mins for our food.. Excellent service and fresh, tasty fish. Will order again read more

Worst experience from Joy Sushi! I ordered a dragon and spider roll and they came unrecognizable and cold. I've never had a bad experience before this but I doubt I'll go back, not because of food but of service. I called to let them know of the situation as soon as I got home. 1.They couldn't understand English very well so I had to repeat multiple times, my orese amd how I ordered. 2. They told me I had to contact Yelp 3. Never tried to offer resolution Very frustrating and disappointing. read more

Absolutely the best sushi restaurant in this price! I have tried tons of jap sushi restaurant in bay area but joy sushi has the freshiest sushi especially their salmon and tuna tastes different. I asked the chef why their fish tastes a little different, has no fishy taste, and he told me they treat it differently then other sushi restauarants. Friendly staff, especially Jenny is very friendly and always helpful. Reasonable price. Also, the restaurant is always very clean and sanitized. Restroom was always clean and smells good. They sometimes give u watermelon for free during the summer! Free dessert!! Has wide variety for sushi rolls and wide choices for bento box. Absolutely the best one in town!!! Strongly recommend! read more

This place has been an old standby for the last three years. I'm giving this high marks because it's a cozy place with a huge variety of food, from fun rolls, to bentos, to noodles. It's kind of like an izakaya that leans more heavily into the sushi side. As such, it's the kind of place that I often invite friends to because they have a little something for everyone. The service is very solid and food is always generously portioned and satisfying. I recommend the bento with the tempura and sashimi. For rolls, the Monster roll offers warm and gooey goodness that feels like bite sized, savory comfort that epitomizes what I look for in a fried roll. read more

I was craving for good tempura and soft shell crab. Then found this place on yelp and not far from the house. The host/server is super nice and very friendly!!! Everything was good and for the price that less than 40 bucks (2 miso soup, 1 salad, 1 soft shell crab, 1 california rolls, and 3 items bento). Still got some left over for later. Teriyaki sauce is not too sweet either. We are really happy with this place!l read more

Prompt service and good food. I had the bento box with Salmon. A good assortment of things to eat at a reasonable price.

Note: Good food, mediocre ambiance. We were looking for a place we had neither been to. I was surprised this was so close to my work. Very tucked away in a small strip mall. You won't easily see it from the major streets. I loved the food. The menu is really robust so it's hard to choose, especially if you are looking at rolls. We got two rolls, the El Camino which was spicier (its not crazy spicy in case you're worried) and the Island. Both were fantastic, fresh, well balanced and filling. Definitely check the wall for specials before you order. After we ate, I saw the spam musubi and decided to check it out because believe it or not, I've never had spam! It was a nice creative nibble (not sure how common spam musubi is, but I don't think I've seen it before). The people were very nice and friendly. Their quality of kindness matched the quality of the food. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was the ambiance. It is very bright and tight sitting. I was about to lose my mind over a guy a few tables away as I could hear him chewing so obnoxiously, so it's that close. It quickly got louder as it got busier and a bit stuffy. Stepping outside was actually a burst of fresh air. I think maybe turning the lights like 15-20% lower could actually make a big difference. It is more the place you'd take a friend, unhappy spouse, casual date, or coworker. It's not the type of romantic setting you'd want for anything serious. Also, not too conducive to groups over 4, and even that may be pushing it because there is not much space in there. Would definitely come back! read more
