    Hamachi Kama
    Joshua H.

    This is my favorite Japanese restaurant. They have been in business for many years. Even though there are other newer Japanese restaurants in the area. Sushi Masa is still our first choice given the quality of the food, especially if you are looking for authentic good quality sashmi/sushi. Their cooked dishes are very good also. Just attached pictures of the one we ate today. The omakase chirashi is very good. Big piece, great quality and very fresh and tasty fish. The Sake Sampler is very good too. They have several varieties to choose from. I got the Sushi Masa one. The server, Sunny, is great. She remembers us and always have a great smile and service. Bottomline: there is no gimmick. Just good quality Japanese food with good sake choices. Will be back soon.

    Oh my god. I LOVE this sushi spot! The service, the decor, the food. The sashimi combo platter was incredible - all of the fish melts in your mouth. It is such high quality and great quantity for the price. The miso soup is also excellent. We also enjoyed the tempura appetizer. The manager/owner (?) was so sweet and attentive, and had a bubbly energy and connected with everyone in the restaurant. I will definitely be coming again.

    Still the best in the business! Addicted to the seafood pancake- remember to order it when you first arrive!

    Stopped by on a Wednesday evening craving nigiri. The restaurant was not busy at all and we were seated immediately. Decided to splurge on a bottle of sake and the Trust Chef nigiri. The fish was fresh and I especially enjoyed the uni and otoro. We also ordered the Tonkatsu. My husband enjoyed the marinated bean sprouts that came on the side. Overall we had an enjoyable experience and we will add this place to our list of go-to sushi restaurants!

    My party of 3 came to Sushi Masa around 12:30pm on a Thursday since it was close by. There were three other tables at the time, and we were quickly seated and given menus. The atmosphere is super nice, dimly lit with an area with floor seating and a separate area with tables and chairs, with nice decorations throughout. The menu is pretty extensive, so we took a while to look through it before deciding on what to order. The service was excellent and we were frequently checked on and dishes came out quickly. -deluxe chirashi sushi ($35.99): this was just what I wanted, and came with a good selection of sashimi over rice, along with some seaweed salad, shredded radish, a shiso leaf, lemon slice, and miso soup on the side. The fish was super fresh and filling. -cherry blossom ($17.95): this was pretty good but nothing amazing, and the fish had a slightly sticky texture, but the sauce paired really nicely with the roll. -mango bridge ($18.95): this was nice and had sweetness from the mango that was really nice with the salmon. -2 item lunch combo ($17.99): we got shrimp tempura and tonkatsu, and it comes with rice, salad and miso soup. This was a gerat deal and super filling. I was surprised that the salad came with thousand island dressing instead of a soy or sesame salad dressing that I'm more used to. The shrimp tempura was perfectly flight and crispy without being oily. Overall, Sushi Masa had great quality fish in the chirashi, pretty solid rolls and a great value lunch combo. If you're craving sushi, I'd say this is likely the best option in the area!

    Stopped by last minute to enjoy for late sushi . Ambiance makes me feel like I'm in Japan . It is like a mini ryokan . We ordered the trust chef sashimi and okonmiyaki . It was indeed pretty good toro and amaebi . Japan was of course better. Okonmiyaki was definitely up there . Service was great

    Tucked away in the shopping center, you'll find sushi masa. While I've driven past many times this was my first time in. I had the masa rainbow roll. It was not only delicious but visually pleasing. I hope to go back and try more interesting items on the menu.

    Trust Chef Sashimi Dinner
    Truc N.

    Sushi Masa is personally my top favorite sushi restaurant in town. We have come here many times since 2020 until present, and were always happy with the service. Our favorite order is always the Trust Chef Sashimi Dinner. All the fresh sashimi is top quality, vibrant colors, and beautifully displayed. Another one that absolutely makes my day is the uni sashimi. 100% satisfaction, of course in my opinion The restaurant is very beautiful, cozy with a warm ambience. The wooden decor, lightings, tables and chairs together help make it look authentic to the Japanese culture. All the plates are very beautiful as well. In addition, I also enjoy that they have various seating areas including bars, and tables. The noice level in the restaurant whenever I get to notice is from low to average, so that is very nice! They also have sake bombs and Japanese beer on tap. I don't really drink alcohol so I had their iced matcha latte. It was also fantastic! The servers are friendly and chefs are super professional! Bathroom is a bit small but lovely and clean! All in all, it's a bit on the pricey end but it is definitely worth my money. I come here once every 2 months or so and always have a pleasant time! Will definitely recommend for going on a date, or small groups gathering!

    Sushi Masa  has the best squid teriyaki dinner I've ever tasted in my life. Try it.

    Since the sushi place by our house closed, I've been searching for another sushi place. Never thought to return to Sushi Masa that I used to go to on a weekly basis. We went back there several times recently and it was just as good as i remembered The service and the quality of their sushi is excellent, the freshness of the fish & the ambience. The sushi master is wonderful he made us laugh. We always sit at the sushi bar. We order sushi and drink sake and WE always have a wonderful time @ Sushi Masa . We highly recommend this place for sushi and they have excellent dinners. Also everything is so fresh.... If you like sushi, you try this place soon you will not be disappointed.

    Must try the tako wasabi! Our server was very welcoming and provided great service. We got sake bombs for the table and she happily provided a tutorial for us. The interior was nicely decorated.

    I've been a loyal repeat customer at Sushi Koya in San Jose for what feels like forever, and it's…read morestill the ONLY place that comes to mind whenever I get a serious sushi craving. 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.

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!
