Janan D.

Service and food is amazing - came for the rolls. It was delicious. Would come back here. Tasted fresh and amazing. Afterwards , they gave us a small treat on the house, this tofu with some mochi lining. Sooo delicious. What a lovely way to end the meal. There's a super tall dude that goes around each table and chats it up with them. Very friendly and hopsitable.

Chirashi (20 Pieces)
Victoria C.

Lovely casual sushi spot with a welcoming and comforting ambiance. Great value and quality for the price. I enjoyed their chirashi bowl with a glass of plum wine and a side of shrimp tempura. All of the fish were fresh with great texture. Excellent choice for a mid-range sushi spot that won't break the bank. I'll be back for sure :)

I have been here a few times with my co workers and it does not disappoint! It's fast and easy and affordable. I usually order the sake Don or three item bento box. The sashimi quality has improved in the past few years but the price has slightly gone up, but I am glad they increased price for quality. I enjoy that any meal starts with a miso soup! The tempura batter is nothing to write home about but it is crispy. I would highly suggest this for a quick lunch or dinner spot. The service was really fast and the ambiance was very casual.

Banana dessert
Kayson T.

Interior was homey (like a little small but cozy). Sushi was good and standard, prices were reasonable, and service was great! If you need a sushi fix, this is the place especially if it's later in the evening. THOUGH the banana matcha dessert was a bit underwhelming.. I wish they had like house-made cream or something. But as you can tell I was very hungry and ate everything. Anyway I recommend if you're in the area and wanting sushi!

Sashimi Sampler and roll

Came here for dinner with 3 friends and honestly it was really good. We got 5 rolls, a sashimi plate, and an udon to share. The sashimi was super fresh, like actually melts in your mouth. The rolls weren't packed with a ton of rice either, which I appreciate because a lot of places overdo it. The udon was nice and warm and filling. Service was quick and friendly, and the vibe is pretty chill. Prices are fair for what you get. We'll definitely be back. Good sushi spot in San Jose!

I've been trying for so long to find a new go-to sushi spot in SJ lol. We stumbled across Sushi Koya on a whim while scrolling a bit on Yelp and decided to take a chance. 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.

Loyalty stamp card

It was mid for me. Maybe I ordered the wrong sushi rolls? It just didn't hit the spot for me. I love sushi hut it wasn't my fave. From the outside, this place looked kinda small but the inside was bigger than I thought. Limited parking spots though. I parked at McDonald's and walked over. The team here are friendly and welcoming. Decor is so kawaii. I like the loyalty stamp card. For every $20 spent before tax, you get a stamp. 10 visits = $10 off the next bill at Sushi Koya (dinner time only). Great way to incentivize others to revisit. I ordered the Let your Man Go // Crunch Roll (?). Kinda basic and ok. I wasn't blown away. I did do take out and the wait wasn't that bad. The team seems to be efficient. Seems like they get a lot of phone orders too. There is bar seating where you can watch the chef make your rolls. Overall, I would only come back if I was in the area and craving a quick bite for some sushi.

Negimoto Maki 10/10
Thalia M.

Sushi Koya was highly recommended to me by my friend and dare I say--the food did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious however parking is very limited. I'd suggest carpooling if possible! I was pleasantly surprised that they offer miso soup as a complimentary appetizer, which by the way was so good! I really enjoyed having some in between bites as it helped wash down any heaviness from the rolls. We ordered: Negimoto Maki (5/5): I absolutely looove tekka maki as well as yellowtail. So when I saw this, I just had to give it a try. It's a yellowtail maki with green onion. My friend and I both thought that it was super delicious and clean-tasting. We even ordered another plate after! Flaming Dragon (5/5): When they said it would be lit on fire--they REALLY meant it. Not only was the presentation amazing, the roll itself was packed full of flavor. There was a perfect amount of creaminess, smokiness and a little kick. If you know me, I almost never get baked rolls but I'd take this over a Lion King roll anydayyy :) Tokyo Fire (3.8/5): The super crispy tempura shrimp was my favorite part of this roll. Everything else was good but it didn't stand out to me as much as the Flaming Dragon did. 49'er Roll (2.7/5): Unfortunately this roll was lacking on sauce. Normally I don't mind my rolls without sauce but the rice was too mushy for me and it was thickkk. Overall, solid spot for sushi. I'd say it's better than Cha Cha Sushi! Definitely give this place a try, you won't regret it.

Udon - tasty!
Kristi H.

tl;dr Already thinking about the next time I can go! Great variety on the menu, with sashimi, rolls, udon, tempura, and more! The 3 person sashimi & role plate was definitely the star and something I'd come back for. I took my parents here for my father's birthday, and he loved it! We ordered a variety of things, udon, tempura, sashimi, chicken karaage, and a chirashi bowl, and everything was delicious. All the fish was high quality, smooth, no random stringy bits, and not fishy smelling. The portion sizes were great - it never felt that they were skimping out. Sushi Koya is our go to in this area now! We can't wait to go back.

Roll
Mumtaz P.

Great food and service. We were seated right away. There's free Tang in the front - nice surprise. We were served miso soup immediately without request. Nice perk - I was so hungry. Which explains the big order. I got the Korean style ribs as an appetizer which was large - 6 big pieces, plus a baked scallop roll. I couldn't finish it. I got a rewards card after paying. With 10 stamps you get $10 off. The tables are close together so other conversations were a bit loud but I guess that depends on the crowd.

Tried Sushi Koya in San Jose and it definitely lived up to the hype Everything tasted super fresh and well-prepared. The fish quality really stood out--clean, buttery, and melted in your mouth. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The rolls were nicely balanced, not overloaded with rice, and the flavors complemented each other perfectly. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience even better. The vibe inside is cozy and relaxed, perfect for a casual dinner or even a date night. Prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting, especially compared to other sushi spots in the area. Overall, a solid go-to if you're craving fresh sushi in San Jose. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!

The Almaden
Shayla T.

Walked in on a Friday evening and the wait was about 5 minutes for two people. It was super busy inside but the staff is super friendly and efficient. There is also a complimentary Tang juice bar you can serve yourself! We got The Almaden and Raiders. The Almaden is a roll with seared albacore with garlic sauce. Literally heaven in my mouth. 10/10, I'll be dreaming of this roll. Raiders is a shrimp lover's dream. It's a California roll with imitation crab, tempura shrimp, topped with fresh shrimp. Saucy as well! Overall, awesome experience! Chefs at the bar were conversational and fun. Would come back!

Tokyo Fire & Allen's rolls
Celyne D.

Went to Sushi Koya for lunch around 1pm with my husband and honestly did not expect much walking in but wow I was soooo wrong. The place looks small from the outside but once you're inside it's actually very spacious and comfortable. When we arrived it was pretty slow but not long after the restaurant filled up quickly which should have been my first sign that this spot was good. We were greeted and seated immediately which I loved and they also offer complimentary miso soup which was such a nice little touch to start the meal! I love sushi and have tried so many sushi spots but Sushi Koya really stood out. This is one of those places where you don't think it's going to be that great at first but the food is goooood. Like pleasantly surprising good. We ordered a few rolls along with a sushi platter. The Flaming Dragon roll was such a fun experience because it literally flames up right in front of you. You don't see that very often and it was so cool to watch. Because of that the roll had a smoky flavor which was really interesting and different. We also ordered the sushi platter which was the chef's choice of nigiri and it was amazing. The fish pieces were huge fresh and tasted so good. Allen's Roll completely took the cake for me. It was super flavorful and the seaweed salad inside was a huge plus since I love seaweed salad. The Tokyo Fire Roll was okay and not bad at all but it just didn't stand out as much compared to the others. As it got busier there seemed to be only one waitress taking care of everyone so the service was just okay but honestly the food made up for it because we were so full and happy by the end. Overall Sushi Koya is definitely worth checking out if you love sushi and want a place that surprises you. I would absolutely come back and already know what I'd order again next time!

No, it's not an AYCE restaurant.

I noticed on your online order page that your Regular Beef Teriyaki Bento items (Bento #4, 5, and 6) have been listed as Sold Out for the past 2 months and can't be ordered. Do you still have a beef shortage or is there an error with your website?

Please come to see .

Does this business have a private parking lot?

Yes it does

Can we make a reservation?

Sorry, unfortunately we do not accept reservations at our restaurant. It will be first come first served going by our waiting list. All parties must be present before being seated. Thank you.

Accepting dine in?

Yes they are.

Since we moved into the red tier, will Sushi Koya be open for indoor dining soon?

Restaurants: open indoors at 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer

Do you guys have outdoor seating?

They do not. It is takeout only, but still worth it! Their food is really yummy and the service is always great!

Portion sizes are noticeably smaller while prices have gone up. The chips tasted like the frying oil needed to be changed. No pride in the presentation of the food. The tastiness isn't there anymore. I'm happy to pay higher prices if the quality matches but that's not happening here. I get that it's incredibly expensive to run a food service business and they try to help the profit margins with little adjustments but it's those little things that turn people away. People notice them. That said, service itself is always good. They've put a lot of effort into making the patio a nice place to enjoy a meal. But I'd prefer a mediocre ambiance and a great meal. This was my go-to favorite place to get Mexican food. I'm sad to have to shelve this spot and hunt for a new favorite.

Instead of taking accountability for sending out an incomplete meal, they hid behind the food delivery app, refusing to issue a proper refund or make it right. They are deliberately taking advantage of delivery customers knowing it's harder to resolve issues after the order leaves their doors. It is utterly dishonest to charge hard-earned money for a full meal and send half an order. Shame on this establishment for scamming paying customers and refusing to take responsibility for their own mistakes. I will never spend another dime here, and I strongly advise everyone else to avoid them. Save your money and order from a business that actually respects its customers.

Awesome spot for fresh and innovative seafood dishes, both cooked and raw! The menu changes daily…read morebased on what they have, and isn't released until 30 minutes before they open. I was craving oysters and noticed they had a happy hour, that luckily include oysters on the afternoon we were going. I'm not sure if they always have them, but noticed quite a few pictures of them, so they might be a pretty good staple on the menu. We ordered almost everything on the happy hour menu; bar nuts, oysters, salmon kebab, tuna loin, calamari, and fish ribs. Each dish was unique and well thought out. The oysters had a rhubarb vinaigrette and came with a little piece of citrus and some edible flowers, the calamari a Thai dipping sauce, and the tuna loin pieces of pineapple, chopped cashews, and a salsa. There wasn't a single boring dish in sight. We liked everything we got, but a few things stood out more than the rest. Favorites were the oysters, tuna loin, and salmon kebab. I would get most again if the menu was similar, I might skip the calamari and got for more raw dishes the next time.
