    Poke lover dream , clean , cozy nice and atmospheric place ! Spectacular prices for one of the tastiest POKE I ever tried ! I want to express my sincere gratitude to the team at this poke restaurant for consistently delivering an experience that goes far beyond just good food. Every visit feels like a small moment of calm and care in the middle of a busy day. The ingredients are always incredibly fresh -- the kind of freshness you can taste immediately. The fish is clean, tender, and perfectly chilled. The toppings are vibrant and thoughtfully prepared, and the sauces are balanced without overpowering the bowl. You can really tell that each component is handled with intention and pride. What stands out even more is the kindness of the staff. They greet you warmly, take their time to help customize the bowl exactly how you want it, and never rush the process. There's a genuine feeling of hospitality here -- something that's rare and truly appreciated. It's clear they care about their customers and take joy in serving good food. The space is clean, welcoming, and well-organized. Even during busy hours, everything moves smoothly. Portions are generous, and you always leave feeling satisfied and taken care of. I'm grateful to have a place like this nearby -- a place that puts heart into what they do, respects their ingredients, and values the people they serve. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a consistently wonderful experience. You've earned every one of these five stars. Thank you so much we definitely coming back

    The portions here were so big and the fish tasted very fresh! I definitely recommend a mix of spicy salmon and regular salmon. The service was very friendly and the ambiance was very casual. Great quick place for delicious poke!!

    The owners are very friendly and the portions are generous! It definitely hits the spot when I'm having a craving. They have a lot of options and you honestly can't go wrong. Even people who I've taken here who aren't big fans of poke have enjoyed their sushi too!

    Fantastic little poke spot in Milpitas. Friendliest owners I've ever met, and the toppings are fresh and delicious. You start by picking your base: sushi rice, brown rice, or greens, then add your proteins with variety such was spicy salmon, tuna, shrimp, tilapia, tuna salad, tofu, etc. You can choose a spice level, and additional toppings such as edamame, corn, seaweed salad (so good), macaroni salad, crab, etc. I love to add spicy mayo and yuzu ponzo, plus eel sauce. Do not pass this place up!

    I've been coming to this place for over 6 years. Huge portions, excellent service, the owner is super sweet and welcoming as always. My bowls are stuffed, I can't even see the protein. I highly recommend you get poke here!!!!

    The food here was delicious! The portion sizes were huge and everything felt fresh. The couple who served us was so sweet. The store was small but had a lot of cute decorations. Highly recommend!

    This place hit the spot! I appeared a little indecisive when I first approached the counter to order but the lady was very good at suggesting the regular bowl (vs large) and helping me along. My bowl was standard sushi rice, ahi tuna, spicy tuna, edamame, Ginger, corn, onions, soy sauce, sesame seed and furikake. Very good poke bowl!

    I honestly thought this place was closed down years ago, but I'm glad it's still around! It's located near Great Mall. .I ordered half sushi rice and half mixed greens, with one scoop of salmon, one scoop of tuna, and one scoop of spicy salmon. They had a lot of sauce options here which definitely made me want to come back to try out the different combinations. The fish tasted fine and had a decent texture. I ordered almost all the toppings except the ones that cost extra (avocado) and the pineapple. The poke bowl was very flavorful and it was a good quick grab & go meal. I ordered it spicy and it was definitely spicy. I wished they had wasabi as a topping though. This was the first time I'd seen a poke place have macaroni. However, the macaroni was okay and wasn't anything mind-blowing. I enjoyed the chipotle mayo sauce which I haven't seen at other poke spots. It gave it a good kick. The owners were really friendly and the portion sizes were really generous. I'm surprised they were able to fit the lid on after putting on everything. I couldn't even finish the whole bowl in one sitting so it was nice to have 2 meals instead of one. It's not my favorite poke place, but it's definitely a very solid poke spot with large portions.

    A must try!! Super fresh ingredients and delicious toppings. I will definitely go back and try more. Support small businesses! They've been open for 10 years now. The owner was super sweet and helpful. Service was fast and the restaurant was pretty.

    I usually go to Poke House for poke but I was in the area and saw good reviews about this place. I would actually rate the food 4/5 but I think (not certain) this is a mom&pop restaurant and the service was super nice. They also sell boba here but I didn't try any. I got a medium bowl which comes with 3 proteins, and the large comes with 4. We also got a rainbow roll to-go just to try the sushi here. The poke bowls were a 4.5/5 for me. The fish has good texture and there was a good amount of it, and they had a variety of sauces and toppings. I got the shoyu and ponzu which tasted great with the fish. I wish they had more dry topping options like furikake or seaweed strips, I feel like that was what was missing from my standard poke bowl. I got edamame, cucumber, crab meat, and seaweed salad as toppings and I liked how the seaweed salad is a free topping, at most places they charge you extra for that. Additionally, they had hamachi as a poke fish option which was great. I'd rate the roll a 3/5. On the roll they had salmon, hamachi, and tilapia where usually on rainbow rolls there's additional fish such as tuna and red snapper. The roll pieces were also a little small, but overall it tasted fine. I just think the poke was much better in comparison.

    One of the most consistently fresh, tasty, and convenient go to spots for sushi in the Bay Area for…read moreme! Whenever there is a craving for sushi - Sen Dai automatically pops in my mind. All the other places that I have eaten for quick sushi fixes pale in comparison due to several factors - fish seems not as fresh, fish portion is small, prices are higher and not a bang for your buck. The rolls here are great and their chefs nigiri sets always hit and are on point.

    Review long overdue!…read more Sen Dai Sushi is easily one of my favorite sushi spots in the South Bay. I've been coming here for a long time, and it's one of those places that consistently hits the spot whenever I'm craving good sushi. The In The Sea Roll is a must-order and definitely one of my favorites on the menu. Great combination of flavors and textures, and it's something I find myself ordering every time I visit. Another thing I really appreciate about Sen Dai is their selection. They're one of the few sushi spots around the area that serves umimasu (ocean trout). The flavor profile is like toro. If you see it available, definitely give it a try. It's a nice change from the usual fish options. And if you're feeling something new, ask about their off-menu item: inari nigiri topped with spicy tuna. The sweetness of the inari paired with the spicy tuna is such a good combination. Definitely worth asking for if you want to try something a little different. Overall, Sen Dai is a spot I'm always happy to come back to. Great selection, some unique options you don't see everywhere, and consistently satisfying sushi. If you're in the South Bay and looking for a new sushi spot to try, definitely add Sen Dai to your list!

    exceptional service. very unique take on sushi…read more The place is too crowded, small room, which is perfect for you to focus on culinary experience. I do not post any photo here or comment on the food. You should go and experience for yourself.

    I feel like I'm being gaslit reading everyone else's reviews.. I was so excited to try Ichika but…read moreit's ended up being the worst omakase experience I've had by far. And I've tried a fair share of omakase places. The prix fixe 9 course meal was $150 per person, and I personally feel the quality of the ingredients and overall seasoning of the dishes did not meet that price point. It was already a rough start with the appetizers. I'm also a texture person so maybe someone else would like these but I was not a fan of the vegetable jelly nor the goopy seaweed salad. Had I known this prior to dining I don't think I would have wanted to go with the omakase menu. The chawanmushi was very underseasoned and missing salt completely. On the menu it says it has crab in it but the only crab meat you get with it comes in a tiny claw that you have no way of digging out The nigiri, which I was most excited for, fell VERY flat. The fish wasn't particularly fresh and I found a bone in my nigiri. (??) The rice was also really dry and mushy. I was genuinely so disappointed at this. Miso sea bass was overly sweet which didn't really work with how fatty the fish was. It was too much. Also found more bones in the miso sea bass but that's less gobsmacking than finding it in your nigiri. The dessert, matcha tiramisu, just tasted like straight up cream and not sweet at all. I don't have a sweet tooth by any means but this could've used sugar. I didn't feel very good eating this, the fattiness of the cream plus not having any flavor ruined it for me :( Overall, the main theme is just the lack of seasoning in any of the dishes plus ingredients not being fresh. I know it's Kaiseki style, but the dishes also seemed very uninspired and plating was kinda messy. When I looked closely, the plates weren't clean and there were marks.. Maybe I'm being nitpicky but at a price point like this, the details matter. Word of advice, if you live in South Bay and want omakase, just take your $ and drive an hour up to SF. My bf took me here to celebrate our anniversary and I feel awful about how bad it was.. +1 star for the friendly service.
