Simple no-frills sushi place with good service and decent quality. We got there a bit late so the wait wasn't bad at all. Forgot to take photos of the Sake Don, Chirashi and Sashimi plates, only remembered taking photo of the first roll order that came out. The roll was just ok. The rice was a bit too soft, more like rice cake. Considering the sauces that were on that roll, it was fairly bland. The fish slices were thick and fresh enough to not have strong fishy aftertaste even though we had quite a lot of them. The chirashi bowl and sashimi plate came with the same exact fish selection: salmon, tuna, yellowtail, albacore/white tuna (I think), mackerel, and escolar. Yes, this place is one of those that has escolar. It didn't register in my mind at first until I ate a couple of pieces, I thought it was pretty good, but then I remembered what I read about that fish ... We quickly finish up, pay, and drove home with minutes to spare. Price to quality is decent compared to other sushi place, I have had better sushi at similar price point but it is not bad at all. Payment and tipping practice still with paper bill that was left on the table for us to fill.

My friends and I came here last night after work. The workers greeted us with big smiles and sat us down immediately. The service was fast and friendly. We enjoyed everything we ordered but wished the rolls had less rice and were cut evenly. The restaurant had a decent amount of tables and was very clean.

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!

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
Lisa N.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

This location offers both indoor and outdoor dining with a covered patio area. It can get pretty hot and stuffy in the summer time but they have some fans working overtime. The menu offers a lot of chicken, pork and even veggie options. You can scan the QR code or order via paper menu with a server. I found service to be pretty minimal in my opinion. The fact that they have you order via online and the ask for an 18% tip is so typical these days. Sometimes it doesn't even surprise me. I ordered the buttered corn ramen, subbed for chicken and subbed for spinach noodles. The noodles were good- firm and chewy. The chicken was super tender and soft. The soup was a bit lackluster. I was expecting more depth in flavor but I found it to be on the blander side. I also wish it came with a whole marinated egg rather than half for a $20 bowl. I do like the fact that they offer outdoor dining as well as so much customizability. The toppings are great but the broth is what falls short for me. All in all, not a bad option in terms of ramen for the Bay Area. The options and customization is great and this is a good spot for vegetarians or people looking for something lighter than your typical ramen.

Once we were seated, our server was attentive and quickly came over to take our order. My plus-one and I ordered the Orange Blossom Roll, Mango Crunch Roll, Golden California Roll, and Delight Shrimp Roll. All of the rolls came out super quickly and were delicious, but there was one thing that disappointed me: the Mango Crunch Roll. There wasn't much mango in the roll itself. Usually, whenever I order this particular roll, there is mango inside, but this one didn't have any. I guess this is their own interpretation of what a Mango Crunch Roll should be. While my plus-one was enjoying his rolls, he ran out of water, but unfortunately, our server never came back to check on us or ask if we needed a refill. It would have been nice if they had checked in with us at least once during the meal. The ambiance of the restaurant is decently put together, with fake cherry blossoms and photos of different sushi and nigiri. Overall, I thought the atmosphere was okay and gave the restaurant a nice touch. One downside my plus-one mentioned was that he wished the menu had photos to help differentiate between the different rolls, especially since he is more of a visual person. Yes, you can look at photos of the menu items through their To-Go mobile app, but it feels different when you're trying to enjoy the experience of dining in without having to pull out your phone and look everything up. Would I come back here again? Probably, but mainly for the lunch deals. That's when I felt the experience was actually worth it for me.
