Came to Akita Sushi and was honestly so impressed with both the quality and price. We ordered a sashimi plate with tuna, salmon, and yellowtail, and everything was incredibly fresh. The portions were generous, and I appreciated the wasabi and pickled ginger on the side. The only thing I would say is the sushi rice could be improved on because it just tasted like regular steamed rice. The tobiko and tamago nigiri were great as well, always a must order when I get sushi. We also got the vegetable tempura appetizer and it was SO crispy without being greasy. The batter was light and airy, and you could still taste the veggies inside. The dipping sauce paired perfectly and didn't overpower anything at all! The presentation was simple but clean, and you can tell they focus on freshness. It definitely gives that low-key neighborhood spot vibe, but the quality feels higher than you'd expect. I'll definitely be back! read more

This sushi place is conveniently located in the complex on the corner. There's plenty of spots for indoor dining. The menu is pretty standard with bento boxes and rolls. The bulgogi bento was okay. The rolls were decent and overall it was an okay lunch experience. read more

Hamachi roll: 3/5 the fish on this roll is fine, but the rice is a little dry and falls apart. although each piece is pretty big, especially in comparison to other sushi restaurants, it just taste like the sum of its individual parts and nothing more. Sashimi plate: 3/5 the fish wasn't too fresh, but it also wasn't fishy. The cuts were thick. Not terrible if you're just looking for a sashimi fix. Previous review mentioned the Christian music playing which made me laugh and may have primed me. When I sat down, that was the first thing I noticed. Every time I picked up my chopsticks I heard Jesus's name being sung. go here and you'll cross church and meal off your to do list. This place doesn't serve any alcohol, which explains why the prices are more reasonable than expected nowadays. Overall quality and taste are pretty poor. Service was great. There's only about two people working on a weekday dinner, but they were so sweet. The religious music and the mediocre food made this visit kinda painful. I won't be returning. read more

Inedible. Went with my kids- ordered rolls- the California Roll had some unidentified material that didn't resemble crab- no avocado- lots of mayo- just gross. Nasty.

I got the bento box with salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi and veggie tempura to go through Uber. What I actually got was chicken teriyaki, California roll and shrimp tempura.

Akita Sushi - Not what I ordered! - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

I've really wanted to like this place. My family and I have tried it multiple times, but it's more disappointing every time. We recently ordered takeout. They didn't include the noodles for one of the soups. The worst part is that there were small crawling bugs inside two containers. My kids were so disgusted that we had to throw it all out. I'll never waste my money here again. read more

Wow, worst sushi and ambiance I've had in the South Bay! Religious Christian soft rock music loud enough that you can definitely hear all the words, and previous reviews have mentioned that the boss does not allow changing or turning down the music. Even if I was religious, I don't want to hear religion while I'm out to eat. Atmosphere was really lacking besides that, and service was very lackluster, the type of place that just takes your order and brings your food with no warmth, smile, or checkin. We ordered the Spicy Mango and Hamachi Lover rolls. They would've been fine--not great--if it weren't for the old hard rice they used! I've never had such terrible rice at a sushi restaurant. Unbelievable! For those who don't like krab salad filling the sushi roll, there are only a handful on the menu that are filled with something else. So, so many other better sushi places in the South Bay! read more

Akita Sushi - Spicy Mango Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

I usually go to a different location, but I was close by to Almaden Expressway and decided I wanted to give it a try here. I usually order takeout as there are a lot of good deals on takeout. Plus, I can eat it along my way. I am not disappointed at all. The food and service are just as consistently good as the other location and the decor is more cafe restaurant casual. My take out came with everything I needed and I am enjoying a wonderful lunch. There are spicy salmon, Hand Roll and spicy tuna handles are both delicious and their chicken teriyaki roll was extra special today. They put some extra pieces of chicken teriyaki on the outside and covered the roll with teriyaki sauce . I haven't had it that way before and I absolutely loved it. All in all Akita sushi is an excellent sushi bar. I recommend it. read more

I decided to try this restaurant as I was in the area. It's a small hole in the wall place, but very good. I came during their lunchtime and they had a bento box special two item for $12. It was a decent size portion and everything was really good. I had the Chicken Katsu and Calif roll combo. The CA roll had real crab! I also had a Saba nigiri sushi, which was good. The fish was fresh and nicely presented. I would definitely come here again. read more

God why did I come back? The service is somehow even worse than before. Waiting forever to get what I ordered, not a single time was my water refilled, and to top it off the waitress forgot half my order. And the restaurant was half full! Gosh I really want to like a place with decent quality and good prices. But the distracted and half ass service is just intolerable. And it looks like now they aren't even keeping the floors clean.

I really like their poki bowls! It's a good portion size to share. We also tried their tempura which wasn't cooked all the way, so the veggies were super crunchy but the batter was soggy. I would also skip the edamame because the chili sauce they throw it in wasn't the best Or order them plain and use the spices on the table to season them is the best way to go. Otherwise the sushi is good, fish tastes fresh. read more

Akita Sushi - Edamame - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here for lunch with my bf. We wanted something kinda and a bit local to where we were. The food was ok. We ordered the Big G and Blossom Hill roll, which were both huge rolls and the mango roll and tropical roll. The mango and tropical roll were both very flavorful, while the two large rolls which we were looking forward to, was a bit of a disappointment. The flavors didn't quite fit together, it was too much, but at the same time a bit bland. The only thing that stood out was the "spicy" from the spicy tuna. The service could use work. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't good either. We were greeted upon coming in. The server got our order and then we never saw the server again. My BFs water was filled once. The only time they checked up on us was to ask if we were ready for the check. They did give us a complimentary appetizer, which was nice, but overall it was just a basic experience and hard to say that there was something that would be a highlight to come back, read more

This little place used to be the very worst Happi House, and that's hard for me to say, since I really like Happi House, in general. It is so much better now! The Sushi was very good. I had a tekka maki that was really good. A nice thick portion of tuna, with a good roll of rice. I also had the Hamachi Handroll. They subbed out the cucumber for Avocado for me, which was really nice of them. Unfortunately, there were no green onions. My mom had a 49'er roll and some tempura sweet potato, which she really liked, but it was a bit too much food for her, so we took the extra home for my partner. He was very Happy with it. The shop was clean and well laid out, plenty of four tops and a few two tops inside as well as a couple of tables out front. The staff were very friendly, and the service was quick. Watch yourself of the soft drink orders, though, the lemonade was HUGE, I couldn't finish it. We'll definitely be going back, my main regret is we waited so long to finally try it out. read more

Had a chance try Akita Sushi and this was a nice experience. If you are looking for Japanese food this is a decent spot. I had a to go order from here and I got to try a variety of different things. I got to try an assortment of nigiri which was yummy. The fish was fresh and delicious. I so tried the California roll which was really yummy. I would go back and try more! read more

I don't normally give 1 or 2 stars review to restaurants since my main goal is to support local business owner but sorry to say this is the worst sushi / rolls I've had so far. We ordered through doordash. Good thing that they made the order pretty fast and we got it within 30-40 mins. We ordered 1 silence roll, 1 hamachi roll, 2021, nara roll and tako sunomono salad. The rice is the most important thing on a sushi roll but this is really disappointing. Rice was wet and pasty and got pressed so hard that i felt like i was eating rubber. My family and i rarely waste any food but this time we threw away all of the rice. The salad was not well mixed and they cut the cucumber too thick that cucumber was not well seasoned. I don't know if i would ever order from here again if they keep up with this quality. read more

I got a bento box with three items, and I selected terriyaki salmon, terriyaki beef, and beef bulgogi. The beef was great as it was flavorful and juicy, made medium rare plus.

My friend ordered sushi roll and vegetable tempura, which I really liked. Menu had lots of variety of both sushi and non-sushi items.

I came here for lunch today for takeout. I saw there sign the other day when I was shopping at Trader Joe's. They are a bit hidden in that shopping center. If it wasn't for the sign by the Blossom Hill entrance, I would have never known they were there. I ordered two bento boxes to go. One with salmon and California roll and the other with teriyaki chicken and California roll. Both came with steamed rice, salad and miso. I only waited 10 minutes and they were ready to go. Everything was really delicious and filling. They gave so much food. You definitely get your money's worth here and the staff were very friendly. I got there right when they opened, so all the dining room tables were empty but clean and tidy. I recommend checking this place out. Next time I will try their sushi rolls. read more

This restaurant has a nice casual vibe inside. The place seems popular, lots of people in and out picking up orders during our hour at the restaurant, and most of the indoor seating full on a Saturday evening (though there are a few small tables outside too). The service was wonderful. They were fully staffed, at least 5-6 employees, friendly with the service, and wait time for the food was reasonable (maybe about 10 minutes). I got the Silence Roll baked specialty, and it was made well. The perfect concoction of flavors, not too sweet, not too salty. The shrimp tempura, crab, and scallops along with the sauce and other ingredients were altogether satisfying. My friend got the Lion King and 49ers roll and she enjoyed her meal as well, and definitely had leftovers as these are sizable servings. We left happy and full, with all 5-6 employees waving, thanking us, and wishing us a good night, all smiles as we stepped out the door! :D read more

This place has good prices for the quantity, but the actual quality of the food is lacking. The tuna sashimi was the lowest quality tuna I've ever seen, and the tempura had a bit of an old oil flavor. I probably wouldn't come back again, but I can't say it's completely bad, just aggressively mediocre. read more

We ordered 2 party trays. The quality was terrible and the sashimi were not fresh. Guess it wasn't our lucky day.

I had no idea that this location was right in the Costco plaza that I take frequent trips to!! My friend and I ordered the gyoza, the crazy roll, and the beef udon. I didn't try the gyoza, and I had one crazy roll. It was my first foray into trying a deep fried sushi roll, and it was actually pretty solid. I would describe the taste of the rice juxtaposed with the fried exterior being similar to a hashbrown. Very delicious! I actually liked the salmon and the avocado was quite fresh (we also ordered pretty late around 8 PM, so this was a plus), however I'm not exactly a fan of having cream cheese in a sushi roll. It's not Akita's fault, it's just me disagreeing with the dish itself. The beef udon broth and noodles were the best. However, the beef was quite tough and fell flat to my expectations. The vegetables and the fish cake were of good quality, and absorbed the broth very well. I would come here again to try different dishes, the inside is very comfortable and not pretentious. read more

For a dinner I planned the great Akita sushi to eat via delivery, smooth transaction and now the food. I really appreciated that the order was organized, packed and with delivered care and professionalism. Kudos magnet! 1) order Bento box w/ 3 items: teriyaki chicken. katsu chicken, plus a plate of California roll, everything smelled good the teriyaki was nice and charred. The meat had a medium chew, the sauce was salty and sweet added a nice sauce element to the chicken meat. 2)Katsu chicken was nicely breaded and midway a bit tough yet soft was good with teriyaki the white rice was medium soft fluffy and starchy, the way I like it! 3) Salad was fresh and leafy and a nice bite and salad dressing was fine, enough, California roll was a fresh. seaweed was soft and sweet did like the avocado, cucumber plethora of rolls generously fresh and wide mouth. 4) OMEGA set was veritably and visibly humongous fresh salmon nice and soft ready to eat, rice was good avocado fresh, so happy for this meal! Total: $50.00 tip/taxes ENSO forever. dd delivery, Crispy California, "They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." Andy Warhol read more

Recently discovered this place after a trip to Costco! Secluded in a corner of the Almaden plaza among with Subway, Wingstop, and many more restaurants. With festive decorations and few amount of people dining, my friend and I arrived into a welcoming, intimate restaurant. It's a family owned business that opened all the way back in February. Steady amount of diners around us, just enjoying the chill ambience and fresh sushi being served. What we ordered: -Mixed Tempura: excellent assortment of deep fried battered vegetables of pumpkin, onion, carrots, and asparagus! Super crunchy, crispy, and soft to munch on. I was surprised by the size of the portion for this appetizer, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. -49ers roll: great presentation of the fatty tuna and lemon slices, beautiful arrangement of orange and yellow mixed in. The lemon slices really marinated the fish in its acidity, adding that sour flavor with the tuna. The tuna itself was fresh and fatty for sure. -Highway: Satisfied my appetite for unagi with it being deep fried. The presentation was aesthetic with rice crackers sprinkled on top! More slow than a highway but oh well. The roll was delicious with the spicy crab meat and mellow flavor of the cream cheese within. Each roll was a definite mouthful and took me two bites to finish! Great venue in the community, would certainly come again :-) read more

This place is kinda weird on the inside (lol) - they blast Christian music (no hate) and there's a random St Patrick's day decoration on the wall. They play "cool online video" shows on the tv and they don't serve any alcohol. HOWEVER - they make BY FAR the biggest and best sized rolls I have ever seen. I always leave super full and usually with a take out box. The fish is fresh and the waitress is friendly. I would love a beer but it's fine - this place is worth the interesting experience. read more

Lots of great Yelp reviews here so I decided to check it out and got a bento box for lunch. The bento comes with miso, white rice, and salad, all pretty standard. The salmon sashimi was cut in very big chunks and so was the agedashi tofu we ordered and California rolls. Everything felt like it needed to be cut smaller. As for flavor everything was pretty standard, but nothing stood out as special. (The agedashi tofu is not vegetarian by the way, since it had bonito fish flakes sprinkled on it.) read more

Tried this place out on a whim. Hi mom, who is 96, had the California hand. I had a crispy Dragon roll. The crispy Dragon roll was so big we ended up sharing it. That was enough for us senior citizens. I liked the crispy Dragon roll. It was crispy but not super crispy. That said it was tasty and filling. It was very large for a custom roll, I would say maybe 50% bigger than a normal custom roll at your average sushi place. My mom's California hand ro was also similarly well appointed but maybe only 20% bigger than a normal California hand roll. Both were tasty, but not knockouts. Overall, I guess a for the quantity and a B for the taste. I would consider coming back here if I needed a sushi fix and was close to the Almaden Costco. Service was good, friendly, and fast enough. The cleanliness was also pretty good. I'd say, solid performer with good value. We finished our lunch with just $21 spent. We did not have drinks other than water. Good find! read more

I finally got to try Akita Sushi, which opened up in the Costco/Trader Joe's plaza. Its on the side with Baskin Robbins and Subway. I was able to place my lunch order over the phone. When I arrived, my food was still getting prepared. I had to wait about 10 more minutes and my food was ready. Everything I tried today was delicious! The miso soup had seaweed and tofu mixed in the soup. It was just the right flavor and not too salty. The tempura was tasty. The chicken teriyaki was tender and very juicy. I also enjoyed the California rolls, which came with 6 pieces. I highly recommend Akita Sushi. The 3 item bento allowed me to try different things, which was great. I can't wait to try other dishes. read more
