    My Bad .... I didn't check Yelp reviews 1st , this place is right outside the movie theaters at the mall , when you say food court food it's either hit or miss - well this was a miss , we had the chicken teriyaki and a California Roll : * chicken was bland Had to add Sriracha +soy + More teriyaki to make it Taste like something *rice was ...rice * veggies were forgettable * California Roll was made From cheap imitation crab Meat with a cheap Imitation taste The coup d'etat WAS WE FOUND A HAIR IN OUR FOOD , now I know this happens and it's not done on purpose but .....it happened , so instead of 1 star we provided 2 - why ?? When told of the hair the guys made another plate - no questions asked !! (Why did we want another plate ? ......I really don't know )

    Chicken teppanyaki with extra mushrooms - my favorite!

    They have finally gotten their act together here! Stopped coming to Sansei Japan for a while because the service had gotten really unprofessional and the food was tasting inconsistent. Like the one memorable time when the cook left my order sitting on the counter & didn't even bother to call me and tell me it was ready, that was a final straw. Since this last summer 2019, things have gotten much better! More consistent food quality and more professional people working there. There seems to be the same guy cooking the food most of the time, which comes out lightly crispy for the chicken, generously served, and tasting yummy. Teppenyaki chicken with vegetables and rice is one of the healthier options at the mall food court, so I am glad this place is still around! You can also order beef or shrimp as well. Yelp Tip: For a healthier option, you can ask for all veggies with your protein and no rice, or ask for a greater ratio of veggies to rice. Keep up the good work Sansei, and we will keep coming! Arigato.

    The food is GREAT !

    Great food ! I use to come here years ago I recently moved here and was so happy this place is still open. Super friendly service and you definitely get your moneys worth

    Food still Great!! I would have gave them a 5 stars. But customer service sucks! Especially from the owner, see below pictures! I was just asking if the chicken that's been sitting on the Pan was still fresh and he got hot and bothered! Oh Well! It is what it is! I even told the chef that this is one of my favorite place to eat. CG

    I went to the mall to try to eat something good and nice. I went to Sansei Japan and ordered Chicken and Shrimp. The food was so nasty my, the cook burnt my chicken and shrimp. The food was burnt and very nasty. I use to order this all the time and food has went to poor and service is terrible. If you in the mall avoid this place, food totally is terrible!!!

    Decided to try the new Sansei Japan since they reopened. Flat out this place has dropped in food quality and presentation. First of all, it looks like they just slopped the vegetables (mainly cabbage) on the rice. The meats were decently cooked however there was no taste besides the bland teriyaki sauce. The beef was really stringy and thin. There was no "meat" so to speak on the beef. I asked for onions and as the meats and onions were cooking they weren't mixed together. The cook then placed the pile of onions on top of everything and that was that. I should have asked for more teriyaki sauce as the sauce was pretty non-existent in taste. Sansei Japan provided no extra condiments as in soy sauce or teriyaki sauce as in other Japanese fast food places. Places close down and reopen for a reason. I think this place had a plan to improve food quality but ultimately failed in the end.

    Food is fresh. Usually no line and glad to have them near by rather than driving a million miles for teriyaki chicken.

    There was hair in my food, they didn't have half of the menu items, and food was trash.

    This is absolute nastiness! I ordered beef teriyaki with noddles, the beef was undercooked and burned! And the noodles tasted like water.

    A friend recommended this spot for sushi and I'm so glad he did! We used to go to Livermore but…read morenow we can stay here in Tracy to eat quality sushi! From the beginning everyone here is friendly, professional, and helpful. If there is a problem, they remain courteous and always try their best to resolve any confusion. Also the owner and employees are regulars there and we love seeing their familiar faces when we visit. It's like they have a great employee fam going on! Ambiance is cozy and cute. They now added some cute table lamps too. They also have large tv's with closed captions and often times the game playing. Sushi is delicious and fresh! For appetizers we love the hamachi carpaccio, chicken karaage, and grilled edamame. For sashimi, definitely the tuna and hamachi For rolls, the spicy tuna roll, hamachi jalapeño roll, and scallop roll

    Hubby was craving ramen, so we stopped in, but this place definitely seems more sushi-focused than…read moreramen-focused. Ramen just doesn't feel like their "thing." Chicken Karaage (1/5) We were very disappointed. It wasn't true karaage, it felt more like frozen popcorn chicken with super thick batter. Not good at all. They also forgot the mayo that typically comes with it. I had to ask, and they brought out spicy mayo on the side. I only knew to ask because I've had karaage many times before, including during the time I lived in Japan. And I'm not comparing it to Japan standards, I've had great karaage here in the U.S. too. This just wasn't it. We ate a few pieces and then let our server know we couldn't continue. The server was very nice about it, and the manager removed it from our bill, which we appreciated. Ramen (2/5) When it first arrived, it had a slightly off smell and I was immediately hesitant. I didn't want to judge it too quickly, though. The broth ended up being very pepper-heavy, which was... interesting. Not necessarily in a good way. It just wasn't something I'd order again. Beer (5/5) Hubby loved his beer! Our only note is that we wish we'd been told it was the giant bottle size , that thing was huge and only hubby was drinking that night. Overall: The service was friendly. I'd skip the ramen here and come back to try their sushi instead. That seemed to be the real star of the restaurant.
