    Super Paradise, Philadelphia & spicy tuna
    Gabe Y.

    Friendly staff, great rolls, average price. Their Super Paradise was very tasty as was the Philadelphia roll & the spicy tuna roll. The staff were very attentive and got us in and out quickly. The place is nice, dark, and quiet. I'd call it "cozy". I'd come back again to this neighborhood restaurant.

    The few times I've dined here, it's always been good service and delicious sushi. Most recently I ordered a roll and the chef's selection and the hamachi was buttery soft (not pictured). I also bring my kids as one enjoys vegetarian "sushi" and the other finds something to eat like noodles. Would recommend this sushi joint tucked away in a nondescript shopping center.

    Really good experience here. Small, simple little sushi spot with exceptional service. All of the servers were incredibly friendly and attentive. Good was good & fast and the presentation was nice. I would skip the beef teriyaki, was super tough meat to chew.

    Sushi Jae deserves to be way busier than they are! We visited on a Tuesday evening and were the only customers inside during our meal. The chefs were busy nearly the whole time however, apparently preparing online orders. Still, the service was friendly and rolls came out quickly. Our server mentioned that they are much busier on weekends but I was still surprised with how empty they were at dinner time on a weekday. It must be because the outside appearance makes it seem like a hole in the wall despite that they're able to accommodate a decent amount of diners inside. The fish was fresh and every roll was well-prepared. As far as sushi goes, the pricing was about what you can expect in San Jose, not a great value but not too bad either. I can definitely recommend this place to satisfy a sushi craving.

    Was craving sushi on a Friday evening and stumbled across Sushi Jae! We started with their agedashi tofu, which was solid. We got Mango Crazy, Super Paradise, and Spider rolls. Their rolls seem to be smaller than rolls at other restaurants. The Mango Crazy and Super Paradise rolls were alright, nothing too special about them. The Spider roll was yummy; I loved the soft-shell crab. Service was good and attentive.

    I forgot to take more photos.. we additionally ordered mixed tempura and sushi/sashimi combo. 3.5 stars** The service here is top tier and always made sure you had everything you need. I used to come here a lot during my college days back in 2016-2018. I don't live around the area, but the food was always good here. As most reviews noted- the portion is definitely smaller here compared to other sushi places. I definitely agree! However, the fish here is super fresh and my all time favorite is the lion king roll here. We also wanted to add additional a la carte toro, chu toro or uni... waitress said they were all out of it... :(

    The food was super tasty and great! The staff's service was amazing! The staff were super attentive and friendly and were able to accommodate our party of 6 very well. The restaurant is super well lit and is the perfect place to have a family dinner or hang out with a group of friends. Special shout out to Sang Woo who gave us amazing service!

    Ordered online for takeout, and the food wasn't ready when we got there because it was fairly busy in the restaurant. The staff was very kind and communicative, and offered tea and water while we waited. Took a little under 10 minutes for the order to come out. The sushi wasn't the best I've ever had, but certainly not the worst! The raw fish was decent, and the specialty rolls are unique, especially the Super Rainbow Roll. Portions are a little small, but we were satisfied. I didn't get a picture of the udon, but we got that too and it was piping hot and delicious! I would definitely come back to try more, and am impressed by the customer service.

    I've been here twice so far with my family. Last time we came here was a few days ago for a birthday celebration where we ordered: Spider Roll (5/5) Rainbow Roll 2x (5/5) Super Rainbow Roll (5/5) --The deep fried scallops were sweet and tender, and the crunch contrasted well with the roll. Unanimously the best roll of the night. Super Paradise Roll (5/5) -- Mom ordered this, but subbed the spicy tuna for regular tuna and sauce on the side. It definitely needs the sauce or the roll is too dry. Orange Blossom Roll (5/5) -- Didn't try, but my brother enjoyed it. Fire Crunch Roll (4/5) --Tasted strongly of wasabi, so every other ingredient is overpowered by this. The sweet potato crunch also didn't really add anything to the roll. Unagi Don (3.5/5) --Similar to any other place that offers unagi don. Healthy portion, but sauce was too sweet. Chicken Teriyaki Don (3.5/5) --^^ Chirashi (5/5) Sashimi Combo (5/5) Staff were friendly, patient, and accommodating. Go for the sushi, nothing else. Only downside is that the portions are on the smaller side.

    Simple menu.

No matter how far I have to drive across the Bay Area, it's always worth it for the incredible freshness and perfectly satisfying portions. This place consistently delivers on every level. Every single piece of fish here is exceptionally fresh -- clean, vibrant, and full of that pure ocean flavor you hope for but don't always get. You can really taste the quality. I almost always order the Chef's Special or the generous Assorted Sashimi platter (which comes with a fantastic 20 pieces), and I've never been disappointed. From buttery tuna and sweet shrimp to delicate white fish, rich salmon, and whatever else the chef selects that day -- every single selection is absolutely delicious and "to die for." The rice is well-seasoned, the cuts are precise, and the balance is spot-on. The portions are generous without being over-the-top, striking that perfect sweet spot where you leave happily full at a fair price. In my opinion, no other sushi spot in the area matches this combination of quality, quantity, and value. The service is excellent every time -- friendly, attentive, and efficient whether I'm dining in or doing takeout. The restaurant has a comfortable, modern atmosphere that works great for casual solo meals, dates, or small groups. If you love truly fresh sushi done right and want great value, do yourself a favor and make the trip to Sushi Koya. I keep coming back year after year because they simply haven't let me down. Hands-down one of the best sushi experiences in San Jose. Highly, highly recommended -- 5 stars! Pro tip: Ask about the Chef's Special if you want to be surprised with the freshest options of the day. You won't regret it!

Luckily for us, it was absolutely worth it! We called in for takeout about 15-20 minutes out from the restaurant and everything was ready by the time we arrived. Initial impressions: I was glad that we got takeout lol. There were essentially little to no parking spots and the restaurant was PACKED. Line out the door and an even larger queue inside! It did feel a bit cramped but fortunately I was just in and out. Service was great too! We got the Lion King and a sashimi platter. The lion king was SOOO good. I always get worried ordering this at new sushi spots because I feel like it can be a hit or miss (especially when they load waaay too much spicy mayo on it lol) - this roll had the perfect amount where it wasn't too overpowering. The ingredients tasted fresh too! As for the sashimi platter - every piece was thick and fresh. I'd definitely come back for takeout! Make sure you call ahead of time.

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!
