Was craving sushi and decided to get a 9 piece nigiri mix + california roll and the baked mussels…read more I started off with the baked mussels which were baked in mayo and had a hit of lemon. Not overly powering and the balance of the creaminess and acidity was delicious. The sushi set came with miso soup which wasn't too salty and tasted normal. The california roll was also regular but it's hard to elevate this type of roll. Each nigiri piece ranging from clam, tuna, shrimp, and salmon was unique but overall not the highest quality. Majority of the cuts were average at best. I didn't have high expectations in general so giving them a 4.

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Hollister. The food is absolutely amazing! Who ever their…read morechef(s) is needs a raise. Don't let this person go. Everything I've tried has been delicious. I usually get their sushi and Tostada De Jaiva. Yesterday I got the carnitas tacos... oh my goodness they were hands down the BEST carnitas tacos I've EVER had. The corn tortillas are handmade and the carnitas were fresh and tender with a little crisp, AMAZING. I don't think the people of Hollister know, but they serve breakfast too. I wanna be selfish, cause I know there will be a wait once people find out, but I also want them to keep serving it cause it's so good. My husband usually gets the Huevos Rancheros, I get Chilaquiles Verdes w/ Cafe de Olla, and my kids get the pancakes that are not only beautiful, but so yummy. The chilaquiles are delicious, the tortilla chips have a good crisp in every bite. Their pancake batter is unique and definitely made in house, I wish I could get the recipe to make at home.

She was the only one in the front taking orders, making the drinks, and ringing us up at the cash register. There were some boys who were also working but they were all in the back? Not sure what they were doing. Also, the only downside was the inside smelled like super strong cleaning products. I'm pretty sensitive to smells so my partner and I decided to eat outside (luckily the weather was perfect). The bowls were delicious and we also ordered a Strawberry Fruit Tea recommended by the only worker who helped us.

I've been coming to Sushi Omakase for over 13 years, and it continues to be my favorite sushi spot…read more My husband and I enjoy coming here once a week, and we usually order the Giry Roll and the Fortune Roll. The food is always spectacular, and the tobiko is one of my absolute favorites! The employees are wonderful, and the customer service is always friendly, fast, and excellent. They also offer delicious poke bowls and a full menu with plenty of options. If you're ever in the Gilroy area and looking for great sushi, definitely give Sushi Omakase a try. Highly recommended! Five stars!

We'll definitely be coming back! Its ny husband and i go to spot for sushi!

We happen to be in Gilroy after doing a couple of errands in the area and we were now looking for a…read morerestaurant to eat at. We decided to eat at Ninja Sushi since we ate there once a long time ago probably like 14 years ago. We arrived there on a Saturday late afternoon for a late lunch . The sushi restaurant is located off of 1st street in an older plaza in Gilroy. Nob Hills is in the same plaza. Parking is accessible in the large parking lot out front. Ninja Sushi has clean sleek modern decor. The restaurant is divided into two spacious rooms. In the larger room it's family friendly where the sushi bar, tables, and booths are at for dine in. The other room consists of the full bar with plenty of high chairs. Both rooms look inviting. We ordered the Wonderful sushi roll, two sake nigiri, steamed gyoza, Garlic roll, Star roll, large hazy IPA beer and a glass of Chardonnay. Everything was tasty but nothing special. The Wonderful was flavorful and I enjoyed the little scallops. The gyoza was steamed which made it taste more succulent. Star roll was scrumptious with every bite. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Ninja Sushi. The staff were nice and accommodating. There was a local favorite vibe going on. My one huge gripe though I had was the price point particularly the bento boxes and the special rolls were more pricier than I expected. Since the restaurant is located in Gilroy I expected the price point to be much more fair and on par with the sushi restaurants in Morgan Hill. It's been awhile since the last time we were there, not sure when we will be back again.

We got assorted vegetable tempura to start and they brought out the sashimi entree 10 minutes before the appetizer, which was odd. The tempura assortment was hot and made to order. The sauce paired with it was better than regular tempura dipping sauces because they added I think small bits of ginger in and that's what made it. My caterpillar roll was standard fare. Parking is in a large strip mall and fairly easy even for a Friday night. Cute little place.

Came here before heading to the Gilroy Premium Outlet. Wasn't sure what we wanted to eat but chose…read moreto try ramen. Supposedly this was a top choice for Ramen in Gilroy. I got to be honest, it wasn't that great! I'm not saying I'm a ramen connoisseur but I've been to many ramen places including in Japan and this one was fair at best. I ordered the shoyu ramen, added an egg for an extra charge. I didn't like that the chashu was served on the side and clearly was cold along with corn, bamboo shoots and shitake mushroom. The egg wasn't even seasoned and was just a boring soft boiled egg. Nothing screamed authentic . For the ramen- I give 3 stars (will likely not come here for ramen) The garlic edamame was fair. Nothing special. 3 stars The unagi was $4 each and ordered 2. That was pretty good. 5 stars Service- it was one waiter who doesn't fit the Japanese vibe. He liked to say "Hell yah" so if you are a local and frequent here, you know who it is. He forgot our straws for our soda til at the end and handed it later with his hand. No paper on the straws. Chose not to use it. Overall, super disappointed at this place. It's a fail on me for choosing it. Place is small - maybe about 15 seats so be wary if you decide to heed my warning .

Final Thoughts: 2.50/5…read more My parents heard about this place and they wanted to try it. Definitely been a long time since we went to a buffet. This family really does not consume a lot of food, so sometimes going to a buffet really isn't the most idea when you're trying to get your moneys worth with quality and quantity. Location for here is somewhat farther than other places that we usually go to. We did finally get the opportunity for all of us to go, so it happened. Will round to be 3 star for today. Food: 1. Sushi bar (Simple sushi rolls with imitation crab, salmon, avocado, seaweed salad, ?tofu skin) Their selections of sushi are quite limited. Honestly, it felt like the same type of roll with just one item differing. Not even really sure if these are actual types of sushi rolls like at other restaurants. They did look slightly haphazardly put together, but overall rolls are fine and nicely plated on the larger plate to get. Heft fillings for most of them, which I appreciate. 2. Seafood Options (stir fried shrimp, braised mushrooms, mussels with cheese, clams) Most of these items felt like they were frozen and then reheated verses fresh. The assembly of these dishes seem simple enough, so they continuously refilled these. Some were steamed perhaps like the clams, others were baked maybe like the muscles. The texture is a lot more "rubbery" and difficult to remove the meat from the shell. Flavor was just alright for most of these options. 3. Classic food choices (fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, eggrolls, broccoli beef, French fries, pizza, ribs) These are items are nostalgic for me if anything. Also feels like something I can cook from a bag or even get at Panda Express. Honey walnut shrimp was alright. It felt super rich and oily with the amount of mayonnaise. Not necessarily a complaint because I really like that dish, but I could only have a few of them. Orange chicken was also quite good and nostalgic for me. 4. Desserts (?Mousse cake, cream puffs, coconut macaron, soft serve, palmiers cookies) Honestly, I love desserts and sweets, but there was something about these items that weren't enticing at the time. Maybe because I was really full already from the other foods. The cake felt a little bit dry. Seems like something we can get in bulk somewhere and not necessarily freshly made. Soft serve was almost like this sweet water with just a bit of milk in it, which was interesting. 5. Fruits (Cantaloupe, canned lychee, oranges, pineapple) Very small selection of fruits here. Not too big of a fan of canned fruits, but it was something that they had. The cantaloupe was the only fruit that I could really "enjoy" because it was fresh and better looking than the other options. My parents liked the oranges, as well. Some nice vitamin C for them after the big meal. Labeling: Nothing Labeled None of their items are labeled, so just be sure y'all are careful of food allergies or intolerances. --------- Quality: As expected for the price Their quality is ok??? Ish??? It's what I expected for the price. A lot of the foods appear frozen and then reheated or cooked. Sushi was rolled on the spot and refilled. Some foods felt like they were just sitting there under a warmer. For the seafood, definitely felt like from the freezer and not fresh. You can see this in the clams because they were really stuck onto their shell and absolutely would not come out cleanly. Texture is a little more chewy. Price: Affordable for the Buffet If you want affordable and all you can eat, this is the place to go. One of the reasons why my parents want to go here is because of the price. This place is in Gilroy, so a little farther away from where we are, but we still wanted to try it. Prices are fully on the rise. For an adult, it will be $18.99 now. There are discounted pries for kiddos between 2 and 11 years of age. Senior citizens of age 65 and older will also get a $1 off discount. Very sweet and totally works for us. Service: Fast Not sure how crowded this place gets, but we were seated immediately after coming in. I didn't see how busy it was outside, but most, if not all of the seats were filled at one point. They took our drink order and then we were free to go get food afterwards. There's always a trash plate and they took those away pretty quicky. Ambiance: Dim lit Interior was quite dark and dim lit. The area where the foods were was really warm and this might be nicer on a cold winter day versus summer. The space actually looks quite small for something of a buffet style. Perhaps there aren't too many options, but it/s definitely a nice small buffet to go to for a change of taste once in a blue moon. Location/Parking: Spacious area This area is very spacious and located where the South Valley Plaza Shopping Center is. It is within kind of the side corner of this plaza. Highly unlikely there will be a concern with parking because of how large the area is.

My order was ready when I arrived and the person who greeted me had a huge smile.

There's a sign that says "Wait to be seated", but no one came out to seat us and a group of people walked past us to go inside, were sat right away. A girl who sat us ended up being our server but took a very long time for her to come back out to even take our drink orders. I had to ask the guy bringing water and tortilla chips who our server was. Once our server arrived she was very nice and answered our menu questions. I ordered the the spicy Mamacita and my friend ordered the pina colada. Both drinks looked cool but mine was very sweet, not really spicy at all and was tiny for $15. I think I mostly paid for the presentation part...flower, popsicle, etc. We both ordered the 3 taco trio and the food came out before long. I had a mahi mahi, carne asada and a taco macho. Again, the food wasn't that great: rice and beans had an off flavor, octopus was chewy in the taco macho, and the mahi was a bit fishy. We took half our food to go and checked out. All in all I would not come back unless it was out of convenience due to the location. The food and drinks have a nice presentation, but the taste of everything wasn't there for me. Although our server was really nice and my friend and I were busy chatting, the service was slow.

We arrived on an early Sunday evening for dinner. Pearl Sushi Lovers is located in a nice newer plaza off 10th Street in Gilroy. The new Crunch Fitness Gym and Smart & Final is located in the same shopping plaza. Plenty of parking is available on the large parking lot. The sushi restaurant has nice vibrant modern cultural decor. There are charming displays of Maneki-Nekos and a kimono dress on the walls. Plenty of tables and booths are available for dine in. The owners are 2 lovely sisters who are also the only chefs behind the sushi bar. The restaurant was clean and wholesome. We ordered salmon nigiri, baked scallop rolls, salmon avocado hand roll, crazy monkey roll, sunrise roll, spicy salmon roll and a glass of Chardonnay. It was quite a wait for the sushi but it was worth it. Everything was authentic and delicious. My favorite rolls were the baked scallop roll and crazy monkey roll. Baked sushi rolls and deep fried rolls are always so flavorful and scrumptious especially these. Sunrise roll was unique and bold with flavors. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Pearl Sushi Lovers. Our server which was one of the owner's son, was nice and accommodating. All the sushi we had was high quality. I thought some of the names of the sushi were unique and fun as well. The price point was very fair especially when compared to other sushi restaurants in the area like Sushi Ninja. We will return to try other food items on the menu.
