Showed up at 8:15. Felt a little uncomfortable when we told them we were dining in and they looked at the clock *they closed at 9. Food: everything we ordered was good. Just wish they added more tofu to their miso. Service: service was decent and quick. Parking: little shopping center. Plenty of parking. My only reason for a 4 start review... is because I THINK I saw a little roach crawling on the floor when we were getting up to leave. Thank goodness I saw it at the end of my meal.

We pass by this plaza once in a while. And when we do we are always curious to check out the Sushi Island restaurant. We finally dropped by recently and left highly satisfied. We arrived for a Saturday dinner. The sushi restaurant is located in a nice plaza off Camden and Branham cross streets in San Jose. Parking is easy and accessible in the medium size parking lot. Sushi Island has a catchy name. The Japanese decor inside is simple and modern. The restaurant is a decent size as there are a couple of booths and a few tables. There is a small sushi bar with a few seats surrounding it. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We ordered the UFO sushi roll, dinner bento box with teriyaki beef and CA rolls, salmon nigiri, unagi nigiri, and a glass of Chardonnay wine. Everything was delicious and tasty. Our favorite was the baked UFO sushi roll. I enjoyed the scallops on top which added more flavor. The teriyaki beef in my bento box was tender and to a pleasant surprise there was 6 scrumptious CA rolls. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Sushi Island. The price point was affordable and the quality was excellent. We will definitely be back when we are in the area and craving sushi. It was nice to try another new sushi restaurant as well.

A very good option for fresh and tasty sushi in the Cambrian area. An extensive menu with affordable prices. We had Sake Salmon, avocado maki, California rolls and mixed Tempura. All were fresh and delicious. This was our first time at the sushi island and we will return.

I love this place! We've been coming here for quite some time now. We even have our own table and the staff knows us and our order! There are plenty sushi places around and we tried them all and they're by far the best ones. They have reasonable prices, huge variety of sushi, their lunch specials are wonderful and great value! We and up coming back here every time. Make sure you check their schedule in advance it has happened several times that we came in on Tuesday for lunch and forgot it was closed.

Loved this place! It's a warm, family-owned restaurant with super friendly service. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Great vibes and even better food, definitely coming back!

I am so happy I found this place! I ordered for pickup on DoorDash but I will definitely be coming back to dine in. I got 4 different roll and a side salad for about $70 which is a decent price considering the rolls were big and packed with fish! They don't skimp here, and overall all the rolls were 10/10. This is probably my new favorite sushi spot. The sushi chefs were so friendly when I walked in to pickup as well. Also the sushi looked very pretty and nice, very well made!

This is a cute little neighborhood place tucked into a large strip mall. I am pretty sure this was a sushi spot with a different name that I went to some years ago, not sure how new this is. The staff is very attentive and good at bringing stuff out. I liked how they had a good selection of reasonably priced lunch specials. The food was decent, I did feel like my bento was a little bit small but it was reasonably priced!

I had an amazing experience here. Everything I ordered was so good and the quality of food was wonderful

Do you serve beer or saki?

Definitely. We are still waiting for the alcohol license. It will probably 1 more month.

I just added Sushi Masa to my go-to Japanese list! It was our first time here, and everything was…read moregreat! We got seated quickly. It wasn't a very packed night, but the sushi bar was full. They have a wide variety of offerings, which made it hard to decide what to order. We decided on the edemame, chicken teriyaki & tempura bento subbed with sashimi, and 2 of their special nigiris. Everything was really good. I loved the chicken teriyaki. The teriyaki sauce wasn't too sweet, and the chicken was seasoned. It's been a while since I've had good teriyaki chicken! The sashimi came with 2 pieces of tuna and 2 pieces of salmon, which were fine, decent size and tasted fresh. The shrimp tempura had a unique breading, not the typical panko, and it was so crunchy. The shrimp seemed more like a prawn. It was much larger and had great freshness and sweetness. Really good! The special nigiris we ordered were the aburi sake toro & engawa yuzu. In general, I thought the fish pieces were pretty skinny. Good rice to fish ratio tho. The salmon toro would probably be better with less sauce. It overpowered the fish, and I couldn't enjoy the fattiness of the salmon. The engawa was supposed to be torched, but it wasn't. It was still good tho. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'll definitely be back to try more items.

My daughter ordered the Mango Bridge sushi which was fresh and taste so good. She had also the Udon soup which was a great pick for a cold night. I ordered the Salmon teriyaki combination with California roll, tempura, miso soup, and rice. The quality and presentation of the food is so good. Service wasn't that fast but this place provides a fine dining experience compared to the other Japanese restos in the area. Price is considerably higher too.

Goku Sushi opened up in our hometown of Morgan Hill and just opened up this new location in South San Jose. Ambiance was inviting and friendly with good decor. Servers were all friendly and refilled our waters without being asked. The rolls were reasonably priced considering we frequent a lot of sushi restaurants not just in the Bay Area but also out of state. The Baked Rolls were $13.95, which is way less expensive than other sushi restaurants and the flavors were very delicious. Our son ordered the Lion King with baked salmon and I ordered Bay Island with baked scallops. We all agreed that the Bay Island was the bomb! The Unagi Avocado roll & Warrior Roll was also tasty. Especially the garlic chips on top of unagi sauce and seared salmon. delicious ! Nice combo. Kinda disappointed that they didn't serve wine but was able to order a hot sake to share and it was still satisfying and complimented the meal. Will be definitely coming back to try the lunch specials and other specialty rolls!

Four of us came here for lunch today. We got seated at one of the regular tables right away around…read more11:30am. The restaurant got pretty busy later, but not completely full. I liked their traditional izakaya decor inside. They also had a tatami seating area towards the back. We decided to go family style so that we could try more items on their menu. We ordered the Niku Trio Set, which included braised pork, grilled chicken wings, niku tofu, edamame, and shishito. The food came out really quickly. Other than the edamame, which was very bland, everything was very flavorful. The pork was very soft, and the sliced thin beef paired really well with the tofu in the niku tofu. Both dishes came piping hot, and were very comforting, like home-cooked food. The shishito peppers came with a lot of bonito flakes; they're charred very well and not spicy at all. Wings well nicely grilled, too. The seafood okonomiyaki was not bad. It's a bit softer than I expected, but had quite a lot of seafood. The large Deluxe Meshi was pretty big. It came in a hot stone pot with a generous amount of salmon, eel, flying fish roe and a poached egg. I loved how crispy the rice around the pot was. No wonder it's their most popular dish. If you like authentic Japanese food, I would highly recommend this place.

I had the Karaage Salad: FRIED BONELESS CHICKEN, AVOCADO, AND TOMATO SERVED OVER ROMAINE TOPPED WITH SESAME SEEDS, GREEN ONION, AND MAYONNAISE. In enjoyed this. It was a good sized salad. The chicken was nicely fried and tender, good flavor. The mayo and all the toppings made it into a good salad. I also have the AGE GYOZA: 5PCS OF FRIED GYOZA STUFFED WITH PORK, CHICKEN, AND VEGGIES. Nice flavor on the inside. The outside was chewy and crisp. My two items were very good. My friends like all the stuff they got. It was different fish dishes and raw stuff. Definitely not items I will eat but I managed.
