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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
Strong 4.5 stars for a long overdue update for Sushi Koya! I've brought many people here, including a whole new group tonight, including one person trying Japanese food for the first time. Ever! I made a reservation over the phone a few days ago. The table wasn't ready when I arrived, but the restaurant had plenty of tables, so they quickly pulled two tables together. Our server was friendly, patient, and even took some pictures for us. Even with the varying food preferences, I knew Sushi Koya had plenty of options so everyone would find something to enjoy. 5 out of 7 people tried bento boxes tonight. #Protip--Sushi Koya will let you customize your bento, as one of my friends wanted to get gyoza instead of CA roll in her Bento #2. They said that was not a problem. In addition to multiple bentos, our table got a salmon skin roll, a Saba dinner, CA roll, and a Spicy Tuna roll. Note, the vegetables were tempura, but the shrimp were more of a panko deep fried, not actual tempura. I'm sure why that was, but it was noticeable. Everyone enjoyed their large portions and tasty food. We only had one hiccup with our order, but they fixed it right away. Great job, Sushi Koya! You have 6 more fans after tonight! I looked up my notes, and I have six other visits I didn't update here on Yelp, so I'll get on those soon...
I would definitely comeback to Koya for their delicious Lion King Rolls and Deep Fried California Lover. Portion is quite big for the price, they also give complimentary miso soup, love it so much. But I will skip on the chicken karaage and shrimp tempura roll next time, their chicken karaage is more likes orange chicken imo, the batter that they used was definitely not likes any other chicken karaage I had, and seems like they use katsu sauce for dipping which i found so strange. The shrimp tempura roll was average - tasted pretty similar to the one that you get from Safeway at their Deli section just a little bit fresher. I'm honestly think Koya did way better job with their baked/deep fried rolls than regular traditional rolls. Store ambience and decoration is alright, wish it could be a little bit brighter. Service was friendly was food came out fast, parking can be a little bit tricky due to the parking lot structure but they do have their own parking lot.
It's average sushi but clearly a popular restaurant as tables were mostly occupied during our dining. Sushi average - not great but not horrible. Service could be better. We were tucked at the last corner table for 2 and it was difficult to get refill of water. Waitresses would not look up for us to get their attention. We ordered a flaming sushi and the waitress said she would be back. Our flaming sushi flamed out for quite some time before waitress finally came back to do the unveiling. We wanted to order another roll. It was challenging to flag a waitress down - they just would not make eye contact. I am on the fence to go back but my friend likes this place. Just feel there are better sushi places with better service.
We stopped by this sushi place few weeks ago and place some take-out orders for dinner. They have a large menu with many varieties and we picked quite a few. The place is small but also offer bar seatings. Staff and service was great and they only had one host/server serving everyone. We all enjoyed our food though the rice was a bit soggy/overcooked. The sashimi quality was not that great but their rolls overall were good. If I live in the area I would come here for their rolls and bento box and unagi. They don't have takoyaki on their appetizer menu though.

This place is my go-to spot! I love the vibe here! It's a smaller restaurant, but it feels really cozy and intimate. I also love that they bring out free miso soup as soon as you're seated. The servers are always super friendly and attentive. Their sushi rolls are sooo good, but lately I've been getting the chicken teriyaki bento box (with tempura & CA roll), and it never disappoints. The portions are huge, so I always leave full and feel like I'm getting my money's worth. read more

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. read more

While Sushi Koya may appear unassuming from the outside, it is absolutely one of my go-to sushi spots in the area. The servers here are friendly and efficient, and I appreciate that you receive complimentary miso soup with your meal. I highly recommend any of their rolls that come with mango, as they are all very delicious. I also really like their Bay Scallop roll. Their seafood tastes nice and fresh, and I always leave here feeling satisfied. You can't really go wrong with anything you order from here. Parking can be a little tricky though since there's limited spaces, but you can also park in the shopping center next door and walk over. Come check this place out!! read more
Sushi Koya has always been my go to! I usually get the teriyaki chicken bento box because the amount of chicken you get and gyoza's is totally worth it! I love how the chicken is sauced evenly and the rice is soft and fresh. We also decided to get the tempura banana ice cream and it was the right amount of sweetness! Everyone here is also so friendly and the ambiance is very social! read more
A nice sushi spot near South-ish SJ! Parking can be tough because the lot is small. I had to parallel park on the side of their fence where other cars were. The inside is nice. Standard sushi restaurant decor. The wait staff are really quick about getting you seated and bringing out the waters. They were pretty nice! The sushi itself is good. I ordered their sushi and sashimi item and I really liked it. The fish tasted fresh and I felt like they gave a good amount of fish. My friends got their other specialty rolls and they said it was good. Overall, if I'm in SJ again, I'd come back. Pretty good sushi and service. Only weird things are the parking and the restroom is outside. read more

Last night was my second visit to Sushi Koya, and just like the first time, the place was already buzzing about an hour after opening! They have a QR code ordering system, but there's also a waiter checking in, which is super convenient. I forgot to take a picture of the short rib dinner (our absolute favorite and honestly the main reason we come back), but it's a must-try. A couple of notes: the bathrooms are located outside the restaurant, and the parking lot is on the smaller side. Also, a little bummer -- they don't make their tamago in-house. But overall, the food and vibe keep me coming back! read more

I always come here for sushi and bento boxes with my friends! I love the flaming dragon roll and it is very cool to see. The fried bananas and green tea ice cream is also our fave dessert to end the meal. Service is very fast! The parking is never an issue and we are always quickly seated. read more

Sushi Koya is exactly the kind of sushi spot that reminds you why you love good Japanese food. From the moment we stepped in, the vibe was welcoming -- clean space, relaxed atmosphere, and a staff that clearly knows what they're doing. We ordered the sushi platter, the Flaming Dragon roll, and a couple of other items. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented: Sushi Platter - An excellent variety of cuts with great texture and balance. The fish tasted clean and vibrant, the rice was seasoned just right, and each bite felt intentional. Flaming Dragon Roll - A standout. Bold flavors with just the right amount of spice, perfectly balanced with the creamy and crunchy elements. The presentation was fun without being gimmicky, and it delivered where it counts -- taste. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. Even when the restaurant got a bit busy, the team stayed on top of things, refilling waters, checking in, and keeping orders flowing. We never felt rushed or overlooked. What stood out: * Fresh, quality sushi across the board * Creative rolls that actually deliver on flavor * Attentive service in a comfortable setting Best for: Date nights, group dinners, or anyone craving excellent sushi in San Jose without the pretense. Whether you're a seasoned sushi lover or just getting into it, this place has something to impress. Would definitely recommend returning to explore more of the menu--especially the chef's specials. read more

FOOD was good! I ordered the crunch roll and lion king. Both were yummy. My friends ordered the 49er roll. They bring you miso soup to start. SERVICE was up to my standards. They refilled our water and brought new napkins. You can use two credit cards to split a bill. AMBIANCE is cute inside. They have a bar area to sit or traditional seating. They have cute lantern decorations outside. They're located next to McDonald's. They have their own small parking lot. It wasn't too loud inside. I didn't have to yell to hear my friends talk. GENERAL I would come back here. read more

Amazing food and amazing service at a great price! Their food style is a bit more fusion with some experimental dishes that combine interesting flavors and I loved it! The servers were so kind and accommodating. There was plenty of parking if not in the direct lot but also in neighboring lots. The restaurant had a dimmer, fun ambiance to it. Can't wait to come back! read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday. We ordered hot tea which was pretty good. It was too crowded and the vibe was unpretentious. Food: We ordered the sashimi sampler, the Pablo Escobar roll, spicy dragon roll, scallop roll, and a teriyaki roll. Everything was fresh with generous portions--definitely a highlight. Service: It took about 15 minutes before we were able to place our order, and the dishes came out at different times. Our server was okay--not especially attentive, but no real complaints either. Ambience: Quaint and comfortable. A nice, relaxed vibe overall. Good enough for a return visit. read more

Nice sushi place in SJ. I had a cup of complimentary Tang when I came in. It was busy and lively. We were seated almost immediately for our party of 5. The service was good and everyone enjoyed the food. We had the Pablo Escobar rolls, Scallops, Sashimi, cucumber salad, The chicken teriyaki and other dishes also. Well cooked and nice portions. Fairly priced and easy. See you soon. read more

The food here is great. Got the monstar roll it is really large, it felt like it was about 3 rolls in one. Had really good flavor just hard to eat. The parking lot is small but there is additional parking close by. It was 81 outside and it was pretty hot inside the restaurant if you're going on a warm day. read more
This is only my second time coming here but I forgot how good it was! The rolls and appetizers are very filling and tasteful. I came around 6:30pm and was seated right away! But if you come a little later, expect a long wait time. Decorations were very cute and cozy. And the waiters were very nice. Bathrooms are outside but they are very clean in my opinion. read more
Tried a new sushi spot in search of my regular spot. This place wasn't too bad. Upon sitting we were quickly served water and miso soup without having to ask. The miso soup was hot and delicious, not too salty or watery. Got some garlic edamame for appetizer and it was flavorful but a little too oily toward the bottom. We ordered the spicy tuna crunch roll and bay scallop roll (baked). Both were very good and fresh. I would order them again. And I'd likely try this place again. Service was good as well. read more

My family sushi spot for the birthday occasions. Delicious speciality rolls & bento box. Good quality beef, chicken, & salmon teriyaki with generous servings. I like their choices of vegetable tempura, I think their batter changed recently. Most recent visit it was more battered and hard crusted than the traditional flaky tempura. Wasn't much a fan this time. It is small so make sure you're there early or off hour. Very nice service. read more
Solid food for the price. Wait staff were very friendly and attentive. Parking lot and inside on the smaller side, but tables spaced out reasonably. Ordered: Sashi special Jumbo 30pcs for $45 (4/5)Most cuts were good with a like one or two that were ok. But that many piece for the price hard to beat. Bento 3 with chicken teriyaki, tempura and sashimi (3.5/5). Defiantly not cheap on the chicken or tempura. Chicken was good, but could have used a bit more char flavor. While tempura overall was good, for some reason the shrimp were of a different fry, almost like they were the frozen kind. None the less bento is worth a try if you're not in the mode for rolls. Over all would definitely come back and try more of the menu, especially the rolls since they has some interesting ones read more

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 .
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.
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!
