Honestly the sushi was good, not over the top , but overall it is pricy. We ordered 4 different foods/rolls, and to compare with other good sushi places around each dish is like 2-3$ more. I wish I could give this place 3.5 stars but all and all 4stars is good for this place . Good job overall . read more

Food taste great and the service is awesome! One of the best sushi restaurants in san jose.

Nice casual sushi place. Took the family here. Good food, friendly. Place was a little loud for dinner but not obnoxious. A little high on the food pricing but due to it's location, I'm sure they're getting charge a boat load for rent. Definitely recommending this place if in the area. read more

Bamboo Fish - Coyote roll: unagi, avocado, with a bite of jalapeño - Japanese Near Me - San Jose, California

Ninja Sushi & Izakaya is probably going to be our dine-in Japanese restaurant of choice near where we live. The food is fresh and justifiably priced more than other Japanese restaurants; their portions are generous too. The place has a nice look and feel, with a pretty large sushi bar area. The service is excellent. First time we came it was a busy Friday night and the place was full and yet the service was attentive, quick, friendly, and efficient. They have a decent sake selection. Their rolls are creative and well constructed. [While I love Cha Cha Sushi for our take-away sushi place, their rolls are actually not constructed well.] Their entree combinations are huge portions and can easily feed two when ordered along with an appetizer and nigiri sushi. Definitely order the Hamachi Kama appetizer: a generous cut of broiled Yellow Fin Tuna cheeks/jaw. I could just order this, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of miso soup and leave happy. Will be coming often to this place, I have a feeling :) . read more

I ordered a Bento Box (don't eat sushi) and I ordered it with two sides. I got the Teriyaki Beef and Gyoza. The Bento box came with a salad, a miso soup, rice, half an orange and my two sides. They gave us complementary edamame because they were taking longer than expected. My partner ordered the Stuffed Jalapeños and the Sharks Roll. It was a nice and quiet place to eat in the Almaden Valley. The restaurant has changed owners as well as names several times according to our waiter. The waiter was very funny and pleasant to talk to while we waited for our food. Very courteous staff members and great service. My partner would rate it a 5 out of 10 (I literally asked for the opinion and that's what I got). Parking is shared with the shopping center but it is big enough where you won't have trouble finding parking. read more

Called to make a reservation and was told that they do not take reservations. Arrived at the restaurant and was asked if we made any reservations. We waited for a long time before we realized that we would never get our table- not for hours even though the restaurant wasn't that busy. Poorly managed and very disorganized read more

Always a good experience! Sushi is fresh, great vibe with good music that isn't too loud. I always get the hot tea. It was a bit weak this time. Other than that - nice meal. read more

Great place, price was decent. We ordered sushi rolls and some side dish. Service was decent, and it was not too crowded during 6 pm.

My favorite sushi restaurant !!! Upon arrival, I was kindly greeted and seated immediately. Their menu has TONS of items. But by far, my most favorite was their sashimi. The salmon sashimi was like butter and it had that melt on your tongue type of feeling. SO GOOD. Awesome service, awesome food. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Had a really nice dinner at here on last Friday with my friend. We sat on the sushi bar. Had some skewers. The pork skewer with miso was really good taste like korean BBQ. read more

I wouldn't order takeout. I had bought the maguro sashimi and the fish looked and tasted old‍. The gyoza appetizer I had was quite nice though. read more

Horrible customer service. We first waited to be seated which I understand but when they gave us a table and we were never acknowledged, waited 15 minutes and decided to walk out. read more

I had a wonderful time at Bamboo Fish--good food and Saki. I loved sitting at the bar and enjoyed seeing the fish/sushi masterpieces come together. Very impressive. We had a rather large party when we were there, and they did a great job serving us considering that they are a small establishment. All in all, excellent Japanese food, very authentic read more

Hidden gem in Almaden. Sushi signature rolls were mouthwatering. "The volcano" was our favorite with right amount of spicy zest. Sushi was fresh and very tasty. Udon noodle soup was good too. Overall, would certainly visit again. read more

Very disappointed with the owner. Told me that the food would be ready in about an hour. I arrived late and the food still wasn't ready. He kind of looked at me and went on to take care of other customers. His very nice hostess jumped in to apologize and offered to give me some pot stickers on the house and that was really nice. Owner then ran up my bill and dishonestly added extra cost for my beef teriyaki!!! read more

Sushi was so fresh and tasty. I went there for lunch during the week so it wasnt too busy. Cucumber salad was fantastic and my co worker had the bento with salmon. Fantastic place to eat. read more

Service was great and food was amazing! Definitely one of my favorite sushi places in San Jose!

Been a long day of work and I was getting ready to jump on the highway to the long road back to Daly City. If it wasn't for the stop light, I wouldn't have been able to look around and spot this place. Ninja Sushi is top notch! From the hospitality to the food, couldn't get any better than this. This is definitely a place you will keep coming back to. Thank you to the Ninjas for a good time before the long trip back! read more

Excellent! Soup and salad are delicious. Fish is fresh and so good! I love the bento box! The tempura shrimp and veggies were perfect and light tasting. Bar area is fun to sit at and watch the chefs. Great service!!! read more

The best! We eat here weekly - they have the freshest seafood, take great care of the customers and family owned. Recommend sitting at the sushi bar read more

If you go here, make sure you order the expensive stuff to get decent service. I feel like our waitress judged us based off our order, she has refilled the table next to us' waters and checked on them. Us on the other hand have not had any interaction that was induced by her up until the point we were waiting to get our check so we could leave. The service is based of how much you pay at this location. So unless you're like the other white families that mostly don't know much about Asian foods and have spare $50's to spend, then yea come here. They'll gladly take care of you, if you don't then I suggest not to come here. read more

Their menu is huge. Lots of options and will customize for you. We went on a Sunday with 6 adults and 4 kids. It got really busy and there was only one server but she was good. Enjoyed all my food! Would recommend to a friend and will go back. read more

Service is excellent- there are all of about 20 tables in here, and about 10 servers!!!!! There is ALWAYS someone available and ready to help. We had bento boxes. Food was ok, but wouldnt go for the tempura again, very thick batter.... thick....like the thickest of coastal fog...you know, the kind where you cannot see the double yellow line and you have to drive with the door cracked so you have some hope of not falling off the cliffs on hwy 1....... thick....but the fish tasted nice and fresh, the miso was flavorful, and i was happy with the portion sizes. Give it a whirl, lets see how it goes! read more

Great food and service. I really enjoyed stuffy roll called "super star". The chef Steve is so wonderful and makes tasty sushi. Loved their food so much. read more

This place is great! Definitely my new go-to spot. It's a little bit pricy, a dinner bento box was 16 dollars, and you only get to pick one thing to go with your meat, (where as other places you pick your meat, and 1 to 2 sides). But the price is fair when you get your food and see how great of quality it is! We love it here :))) read more

Some of the best and freshest sushi that we've had! A tad on the pricey end, but it's worth it. We will probably make this out go to sushi spot since it's in such a great location! read more

OK so place was clean and decor was nice, so where the staff. Know for the reason why I'm giving this place 2 stars, Food poisoning. I have spent the last 2 days sick, shortly after having sushi Sunday night I got sick and I'm still dealing with it. It has cost my physical (not being able to do my physical they) and financially (having to miss work). I really liked the atmosphere there but won't be going back, I can't risk it again. read more

Solid sushi chefs provide carefully prepared and fresh sushi in a nicely configured space. Good option in an area with few good restaurant choices. read more

Overall pretty good. The poke nachos are AMAZING and the rolls were all great and fresh. Price is reasonable

The wanton nachos are one of my favorite dishes. The waiters are courteous. We also had the blue fin tuna and was bomb. Highly recommend it if your in the area for lunch or dinner. read more

What a hidden gem in the neighborhood! Sushi/ Sashimi is really fresh. The menu is really extensive with high quality food and a generous portion too. I will definitely become a regular here. read more

Bamboo Fish - Toro ( Fatty Tuna ) Sashimi - Japanese Near Me - San Jose, California

Great sushi! This place seems to change ownership every year or two, but they currently have a win!

After finally talking my lady into sushi and trying bamboo fish, we have quickly become addicts. The owner down to the servers are all awesome. The food is always fresh and amazing read more

This was a surprise. Four star review - I expected so much more. Clue #1 - it was around 1230 on a Tuesday and NO ONE was in the restaurant! We had Bento boxes. The miso soup was not very flavorful. The salad was nice and fresh - the dressing wasn't miso dressing (my favorite) but it had a nice sesame taste - it was just too sweet though. The teriyaki beef was decently flavored but the meat was very fatty. The gyoza was good - loved the dipping sauce - nice ginger flavor. The tempura was just okay - very greasy and tasted as though it had been retried a number of times. Overall, a disappointment- we will not be back. read more

We love this place, it's very close for us (McAbee & Almaden Expwy). The food has always great, but we were less impressed with our last take-out order. I suppose sushi is just one of those things that you need to eat IN the restaurant. read more

I really like this place. The staffs were very thoughtful; they made my daughter a kid friendly chopsticks so she can use it, and food was fantastic! I would definitely come back again. read more
