    Teriyaki chicken
    Lisa W.

    Late post, but we ordered from door dash from here. It was recommended by our local friend bc they give you so much for such a good price. They have online combo specials, only for online ordering. I got their chirashi combo A and chicken teriyaki for the little one. My husband got their combo F, came with a rainbow and dragon roll for $28 ish. It was a lot of food, love it. The sushi was pretty good too. No fishiness or anything. Good deals for online orders.

    Sendai has always been a fav of mine. It's been a while since I've been here but even on a Monday evening, it was still popping. I tried their chicken katsu bento and that was solid. It's so worth the price for everything you get. The chicken was so crispy and tender and not overly breaded. Their katsu sauce was tangy and so delicious. Salad was good. I wish they added more dressing. They do have a waitlist you can join. Service is really good considering how busy they are. Parking: still a pain.

    tempura was really good

    Have not been back here in years...the quality of the fish served is as good as I remembered. Service is really really good I noticed. I noticed it is not as busy as it used to be, no long lines. However, most of the tables were full at about 1830 on a Wednesday. The interior of the establishment needs some updating, but I was there for the food and was not dissappointed. I will be back when i'm in the area and want good sushi.

    Pop Roll and Philadelphia Roll

    Sushi rolls are fantastic here. My favorite sushi spot in Milpitas so far! Service is great! Everyone is always so friendly and attentive. This place is very popular in Milpitas so be ready to wait a min or two...it will be worth it. Our favorites are the following: Dragon roll Garlic edamame Hopyard roll Lemondrop roll Short rib bento (this visit the ribs were a bit fatty...if you don't like the fat on the meat, skip this one) Milpitas roll

    Jumbo rolls

    Great food, quick and efficient staff, and lively atmosphere. Overall very satisfying meal.

    Rolls:  Rainbow Roll, Happy Blossom Roll

    I Visited recently again. Still is one of the best places for sushi I've tasted! Service is fast and everyone is super nice.

    Unagi Don (grilled eel), miso soup
    Samantha L.

    Popular local Japanese restaurant serving up fresh sushi and seafood! The Sake Wasabi Don had salmon sashimi, fresh and delicious. The Unagi Don had grilled eel with nice charred bits and a sweet glaze on top. The rice underneath was sushi rice, mixed with vinegar and sugar. Perfectly chewy texture. Amazing quality and thick slices of fish with lots of extra rice. We enjoyed having the side items that came with our order - radish sprouts, sliced yellow onions, pickled radishes, and tamagoyaki (rolled omelette). The juicy lemon slices provided nice pops of brightness over them. Both came with miso soups that very hot and soothing. Fast service even with their busy environment. For dine in, you can sit at the sushi bar or regular tables. Ordering online was easy and our food was ready for pickup upon arrival. Reasonable prices with generous portions, we were stuffed afterwards. Want to try their huge bentos in the future!

    Chirashi Combo A - tuna,scallop,sake,hamachi,kanpachi
    Ethan W.

    Great value sushi joint in Milpitas nearby the library. Hearty portion sizes, pretty good quality fish, and affordable prices! I think it's decent for sit down too but there were LOTSSS of people ordering takeout and they have online only order variants of the menu for that It's more of a homey local / mom and pop style place rather than elegant fine dining, but still a nice dining experience. The sashimi cuts were quite thick, and while some bits of the kanpachi were slightly stringy I really appreciated how hearty the portion sizes were! I know fish quality varies but for the sashimi combo A I thought (in order) : tuna -- scallop -- salmon ---------- hamachi -- kanpachi! The star of dinner though was the fried soft shell crab!! It was done really well, the breading was really flavorful and added a nice grit / bite! Favorite dish !

    Booty Call Roll
    Amanda M.

    Per recommendation from some friends, I came here on a weekend right before it opened, there was already a line. We got seated pretty quickly. There's a lot of staff making the sushi, and orders came out within 5 minutes. We ordered the: Nigiri Combo Appetizer B: it comes with hamachi (yellowtail), sake (salmon), chutoro (tuna) - 2 pieces each. The fish was good quality, really like the chutoro the best. The Booty Call Roll (4 large pieces) : there was a lot going on in this roll, really big as well for a single piece. It came with spicy tuna, unagi, fried shrimp, avocado, fish eggs, a variety of sauces and macadamia nut. Overall it was fine, I prefer smaller rolls. The Storm Bringer Roll (8 pieces) : recommended by the wait staff, it came with soft shell crab, crab roll, topped with yellowtail, salmon, unagi, avocado, unagi sauce and fish eggs. Very good sushi roll. Overall, pretty good for price in terms of quality and portions. Will definitely be back again.

    Chicken Karaage Appetizer
    Christina T.

    Came on a Sunday night and surprisingly it wasn't too crowded. The wait was about 20 minutes, although other times we've come it's been over an hour, so make sure to plan accordingly. Store is clean and workers are friendly. Parking can be a bit difficult, and I recommend adding yourself to the waitlist on the tablet as soon as you arrive. We ordered the chicken karaage, Happy Blossom, Storm Bringer, Lemon Drop, Hop Yard, and baked scallop roll. I personally really enjoyed the Happy Blossom, it's very refreshing and well balanced. The Lemon Drop was okay, but next time I would ask for the wasabi white sauce on the side since it was a bit too spicy for me and made it a bit in enjoyable. The Hop Yard and baked scallop roll were decent, though I felt the baked scallop roll could have used more scallops as it was just one small scallop on top of the roll. Overall, I enjoy this place and would come back. I do wish they had a mango roll, but I'll definitely return to try some of their other rolls.

    Pro: Good food, good service, good portion size. Cons: Parking, especially when it's busy. Observing customers parking illegally was entertaining. Only one bathroom and the line takes forever.

    Treasure box

    Honestly I think it's just not that good. The Takoyaki was fried too much, and eel tastes not as good as gochi/ tanto

    Hao T.

    Sen đại has always been a staple in Milpitas for many many years and will always be an iconic landmark of Milpitas! Glad to see that it's still busy through covid!!! Stopped by here before going to SF! Here is a snap of a few rolls. Parking can be a challenge and we got lucky with parking and wait time as we got there right when it opened

    Will you be open for takeout during dinner time on 11/26/2022?

    Do they have kids menu?

    I don't think so. I have seen parents share dishes with their kids.

    Have they opened indoor dining?

    Yes, although it's a small number of tables.

    Dine in available?

    We dined in a month ago.

    Dine-in available? The website says no.

    I believe it is - but I would call the restaurant to double check because that can change!

    Is dine-in available as of today 7/19/2021?

    Yes!

    Any no rice sushi on the menu that can be ordered?

    They have sashimi platters if that's something you're interested in

    Is dine in option available?

    No, not available yet. But they have a great fast pick up service with two window's for faster services!

    How do I purchase gift cards?

    You can purchase gift certificates in the restaurant.

    Is there outdoor seating? or only delivery/takeout? thanks.

    Only takeout! And it gets very busy on Friday and Saturday night.

    Has anyone tried to order on their website, door dash or grub hub? I'm getting an error message. It's not working for a week now.

    It works as of today.

    is this really a question???

    Happy hour specials?

    Not at this place :(

    Do they have all you can eat?

    Sadly, no.

    Sen Dai or Satomi?

    My friends and I stopped by Taishoken on a Saturday around 12:30 p.m. for lunch and the restaurant…read morewas surprisingly empty. Our party of four was able to get seated right away. Although Taishoken is known for their tsukemen, I'll always opt for mazesoba if I see it on a menu. The mazesoba here is easily some of the best I've had in the Bay Area. The included piece of chashu is well-seasoned, fall apart tender and had a good balance of lean to fatty meat. The noodles are cooked to perfection and have a really nice chew to them. There is just the right amount of sauce in the dish, and the raw egg yolk adds a wonderful richness that coats each strand of noodle when mixed. Included with your mazesoba is a small side of vinegar. I would definitely recommend trying out the mixed mazesoba on its own -- without the vinegar, and adding in the vinegar about half-way in in order to try out a completely different flavor profile of the noodles. The acidity of the vinegar cuts through the richness and keeps you coming back for bite after bite. If you've never tried mazesoba before, I can't recommend it enough at Taishoken. I can't wait to stop by again for another bowl.

    I'd say skip it overall. The noodles were too al dente, and the dipping broth wasn't anything…read moreparticularly memorable. Honestly, I feel like I could recreate something similar pretty easily using kits from a Japanese market. The karaage, though, was super crispy and really good. If you go, I'd recommend just getting one dipping noodle dish to share and ordering a bunch of appetizers instead -- otherwise it ends up being way too much noodle. Or go to Tsujita

Their prices is at the right price point and cheaper than dining out at a Japanese restaurant because its self served. The only thing I dislike are the stools in the dining area. I think it's on purpose as they don't want you to dine in for a long time and it's a bit easier to clean. They lack hot drinks which I think would complement bento very well w hot green tea. I have visited their other dine in Sumiya in Sunnyvale and the bento quality is comparable. Overall I would recommend coming here if you want to get quality Japanese skewers bento. I have also gotten their take outs many times as well. Still good for take outs. This is my first time having their ramen and overall quality was better than expected. Very rich soup base. Love it!

Amenities - has medium amount of seating, space for parties 2-6, no booths, has a bathroom. 3. Food / Drinks - got a Skewer B box, the sides were large but the meat portion was small. Altogether was filling and tasty.

My toddler isn't much of a meat eater but she loves a good fire-y show as well as sushi. This makes Wagyu Grill AYCE to be a good and entertaining night for us all. Extra kudos to Jingchao for being so attentive in turning our grill flames up and down accordingly. The safety of my daughter was a primary concern of hers so I didn't bat an eye at her lowering the temp. Babygirl was a little disappointed due to the smaller show of the "dancing flames" but she survived. Another 5/5 star visit from the staff and the food is impeccable as usual. This place comes highly recommended to avid meat eaters and those who like things extra saucy [our fam literally drowns everything in their 3 sauces]. Gold and Premium is typically how we roll but I honestly wouldn't mind giving Silver a try, the options look good and you save yourself some coinZ!! Great for all patrons at all price points.
