Sushi Koya

We ordered sushi to-go from here and it was fantastic!1st roll was the 49'er Roll - Salmon/Avocado covered with Salmon and Sliced Lemon. This is a nice sized roll and the lemon is the perfect touch to complete the roll. 2nd roll was the Rainbow Roll- CA Roll covered with array of raw fish and avocado. Again super fresh flavor. The different tunas are fresh and tender. And a nice sized roll. 3rd roll was the G.G Bridge which a CA Roll covered with Salmon & Yellow Tail. Also a great size and super fresh and fish tender and fresh. (Squeezing lemon on this is also very good) 4th roll was Dancine Albacore. Albacore tuna with crab meat served with special sauce and tobiko. This was so delicious and unique. I would definitely order again. We also ordered an Avocado roll and some raw fish. Everything was super fresh and cold as it should be. Would definitely order again. HIGHLY recommended!

(SJ) Food: Monstar (9.6/10)-Deep fried shrimp, crab meat, spicy tuna, fresh water eel, covered with fried seabass,topped with spicy poki salad. The name absolutely fits what it is. It is way bigger than it looks on the picture. I could not finish it by myself. Thinner rice content which I like because you can really taste the diverse ingredients on the place. It has a nice crunch from the friend shrimp which added texture to its size. Flavor is there. don't really need to add soy sauce. I just wish it had a little bit more spice which is my only critique Setting: for a small venue I like the set up. You can see the chefs making your meal and some of the ingredients are out for display. Indoor onlyService: great service for it being very busy. We were seated quickly though. Our server was attentive and we got our requests immediately Price: it is expensive but worth it for the quality Parking: not a lot of parking at the actual spot so you most likely have to park at the neighboring stores

My favorite sushi spot in San José! I love that the rolls are sooo good and they do not overprice their food. We have tried probably half of the rolls at this point and the 3 top favorites are the:49er Roll - Lemony and amazing if you love the taste of salmon. Allen Roll - Saucy and has a smoky flavor to it.Koya Roll - Saucy and comforting. For appetizers, I recommend their veggie tempura, shrimp tempura and their gyoza. The staff is ALWAYS friendly, kind, and super helpful. We've never had a bad experience here. The restaurant itself is cozy, but super comforting. Parking may be a little hard if you come on a Saturday night for dinner, but we never mind waiting.

If I'm craving sushi I go here!My go to order is the 49er roll which is a lemon salmon roll! The staff is super polite and works fast to get you your order. With complimentary miso soup, the rolls are delicious and reasonably priced. I love coming to Koya for the holidays because they decorate the restaurant with lights.

The good:This was delicious! It's a new favorite. My family had a craving for sushi today but the place we normally order from was closed so we got to try this amazing spot. We ordered to go ahead online and tried a variety of different specialty rolls and sashimi. The sashimi options were plentiful and varied a lot. The fish was fresh. I tried herring in herring roe for the first time and that blew my mind. It was crunchy and sweet and not at all what I expected it to be. It wasn't fishy at all. The presentation was beautiful. The rolls each had unique flavors that differed from one another. I liked the rolls with fresh lemon and seared smoky flavors. My toddler enjoyed the sticky ikura. Their menu offered tons of options. Everyone in my family enjoyed the meal. The bad:It's pricey but that's understandable. There was a bit of a wait for our pickup order. The interesting:The exterior looks like an old Taco Bell or Mexican food spot.

Not a bad spot for sushi, I stopped here before going to the San Jose Enchant Christmas hoping to fill myself up before. I enjoyed the sushi but some of the options we chose weren't too enjoyable, maybe it was just our taste buds, it's very small here and the parking is small as well. Overall the service was very quick and the staff are really nice!

Cozy little spot! Service is always on point! Our waitress was super friendly! The food is always fresh! I've had their chicken teriyaki bento box, chicken katsu. I've introduced several of my coworkers to this spot and they all have liked it.

Sushi Koya is a hidden gem when it comes to Bay Area Japanese cuisine. You can tell the quality of fish is high and they really take care of their customers here. If you want to order the biggest sushi roll you have ever seen, it's on the menu called Monstar. Be sure to split with a friend, because you won't be able to finish it yourself unless you're a true whale.

Located adjacent to the McDonalds, the parking lot here sucks! It's crammed and doesn't have enough spots to support the restaurant. When you walk in, it gives off taco bravo vibes with orange brick walls. I was skeptical, I'm not going to lie.... But we've had a few people recommend this place so we sat down. The pace is fast here and the employees were really nice but also very busy. Sushi was good and the portions were large. Sushi and sashimi tasted fresh, tempura was on point, and their salad dressing is delicious. Everything we had was really yummy, only thing I would skip next time is dancing albacore. Nothing wrong with it, just didn't love the mix of the albacore on top of crab meat. Overall, solid sushi spot. Can't wait to come back and try more.

Back here again to celebrate end of the year, we ordered our favorite roll, Garlic Roll, and tried some new dishes. Beef teriyaki bento, tempura and CA roll: 4/5 Big portion enough for two people sharing. Tempura was crunchy on the outside and moist inside. The beef was kinda chewy and overcooked. Shio Saba dinner special: 5/5No words can describe this magnificient dish!!! San Jose Deep Fried Roll 3/5Not really a fan of this one. Each slice was so big that it was soggy inside after being deep fried. Also it was supposed to have cream cheese but I barely could taste it. The roll itself was just so bland.Service was good as always, really attentive even though the store was super busy. The store was recently renovated (I guess), with new paint and decoration. Now it looks well-lit and has more Japanese Izakaya vibe.
