Place: The restaurant is well made well decorated everything looks clean and top shape. Food: if it was amazing favor was on point and everything seemed fresh. Service: everybody was friendly, they had a band playing. They sounded amazing and our server Jesus was very helpful. I recommended to everybody who likes a combo of Mexican food and Japanese food. They do a very good fusion. read more

The wait time for drink refills was CRAZY. It took three different waiters just to get us a refill on water! At one point, we even asked the camera lady if she could flag someone down, and she said, "I don't work here." Like... okay, then what are you doing here?! One waitress literally walked right past us and completely ignored us. Then, when I was paying the bill, there was a self-assessment rating for the waiter. Before I could even choose an option, he gave himself a thumbs-up! Of course, I wanted to give him a thumbs-down. The food was good, but the service was frustrating. I still left a 15% tip because I didn't want to be mean, even though honestly, the service deserved less. Hopefully they can improve the service because the experience was frustrating. read more

Came here for lunch and was amazed by how spacious and nice it was. They had live music, and our waitress was super friendly with great recommendations. I ordered the blueberry lemonade, which was huge, and two tacos that were delicious. The only downside was how loud it was. My friends and I had to practically yell at each other, and I did notice kids from the other tables covering their ears. Overall, it's a cool spot to check out. Just be prepared for the noise. read more

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday and it was nice to have the ENTIRE restaurant to ourselves including the server whom offered spectacular service. Chips - There were not house made, typical store bought kind with bean dip Camarones Culichi - Presentation was amazing, flavor wise it was alright morning to write home about Horchata - These come in a HUGE glass, about 1 pint Anyways, I recommend stopping by for a snack when you're in the area read more

DO NOT COME HERE DURING THE WEEKDAYS!!!! My family and I were waiting for more than 5 minutes to be seated. We had to wave down the bartender because there was NO HOSTESS/HOST in the front to let us know the wait time. Mind you, we would've been fine waiting the 7 minutes that we were there BUT there was no one to communicate to us that there was a wait time and we had to wave the bartender down to ask to be seated. We finally got sat down after 10 minutes of waiting, our waiter told us that the service time is unknown because of the promotion on sushi they were having and not having enough cooks. What is sad is that they were not able to tell us how long we would be sitting there to get our food and ultimately how long we would be there in the restaurant. I'm glad that they told us and gave us the option to stay or not. We left after that to a neighboring restaurant. This place was recommended to us for their food and we wanted to see if their food lived up to what everyone has been talking about but I guess we will never know. I would not recommend going if you have something else to do for the ENTIRETY of your day. read more

Culichi Town - No host or hostess. Waited more than 5 minutes just to be seated and tell us service time varies... - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

Very interesting spot!!! My co worker took me here and I was amazed when I first saw the menu. The ambience was nice and pretty. Servers were polite, friendly and fast but I had a hard time communicating with them. Food here tended to be modernized not typical ones. Ceviche tasted good. I ordered Molcajete and it tasted just like ceviche. I wanted to order rolls but every rolls were made with cream cheese so .... Meh. What made it more interesting was there was someone who came to take pictures at the table then tried to sell it to us for $28 per picture the picture looked great though. One great thing was there was a mouthwash station in the restroom!!!! But the smell in there was so bad, my co worker almost threw up Mixed feelings.... read more

I have had several dental appointments in close proximity to Culichi Town. Today I entered, I was parched and needed something soothing to drink. They have a full bar with Modelo Especial on tap. No brain engaged, I ordered a glass. Then I focused across onto the bottles they have that they can serve! Multiple Tequilas. Some can be VERY expensive for a shot! But then again Cuevo is cheap. So if you order a Margarita it most likely will not cost an arm and a leg. But if you have my taste preferences, Anejo in a shot glass is my preference. read more

This was our first time coming to Culichi town celebrating my daughter's 18th bday. We made reservations for 7:30 pm and arrived 5 minutes early and they had our table ready seated us right away. No wait time!!! Parking was very accessible easy open lot. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Ambiance was very clean and edgy. Loved the vibes!!!! Appetizers are delicious, food was bomb, I had me 3 drinks they were sooo delicious and very cute!!!! I can't remember our waiters name but she was amazing thank you for taking great care of us!!! I will definitely be returning and will definitely recommend this establishment. Thank you to our waiter once again your amazing read more

The location, food, drinks and staff were amazing. Unfortunately, trying to have a conversation and enjoy company impossible.... The music is beyond loud. I couldn't talk to my daughter and she was sitting right next to me at the bar. I had to point at my drink to order another one. The funny part was everyone I spoke to walking out said the same thing. I know a couple of people that told me they went once and loved everything but the music volume, so they never went back.... I say play whatever music but just not so loud. read more

Nice beautiful modern inside. But OMG can we get a hostess?! Whoever is running the show is an idiot. Losing a lot of business.

This place is great hanging out with friends, foods and drinks are great but the prices are on the higher size. I can only giving it 2 stars because the music is so loud, you can't even talking to your friends without yelling at them and it just take the taste out of the foods. read more

I was craving some sushi and since I had just gotten off work I decided to give this place a try! I was greeted by the friendly staff and my server was awesome! I went with the Norteño Roll, Guamuchilito Roll and they have been the BEST sushi I have ever tried EVER! I am hooked and can't wait to come back lol! I came in at a Monday evening and it was not packed and def got the chance to enjoy some great food and good music. Now if this is your first time ever like me and are decisive on what to get and like seafood but not a lot then I 100% recommend the sushi I listed above because you will be in love! Also the waiter that helped me and my fam said they have Banda Fri-Sun! Can't wait for that! read more

I hate to leave negative reviews, but this place was just okay. Nothing more or less. I came for a birthday and they had pre-ordered a few different tacos (served single, open faced, $5-$6 each), ceviche, and oysters. No one at the table liked the oysters. The tacos were good, but not work $6, and the ceviche was decent. Not the best I've had or worst. The prices were quite high and didn't match the quality. The drinks were also okay. Love how they prepare them table side! But I ordered a mezcal drink, and I only tasted pineapple juice. If you drink mezcal, you know there's a prominent Smokey flavor, which I love, but I couldn't taste it at all. My drink was $16 and I finished it in 5 sips, it was mostly ice! The service was decent, she was attentive and checked on us. This seems like a fun place to celebrate with friends and enjoy mariachi, but not a place to come if you're looking for good quality food/drinks. read more

I visited this spot at The Plant shopping center and the atmosphere was lively. They had a mariachi band playing when we arrived and it made the experience really fun. Service was very slow, though the staff was friendly. The food came out fairly quickly. My friend ordered a salad and I had two tacos, one fish and one steak. They were served on a cutting board that looked pretty worn, which took away from the presentation. The food tasted good but it was not hot when it arrived. Unfortunately I ended up getting very sick when I got home and even threw up. I cannot say for sure what caused it but it definitely affected my impression of the visit. read more

We ordered boiling shrimp, one octopus and one prime taco, and a tentation roll. The food took a while to come out. The server brought us some chips with salsa and refried beans as we waited. At first, they were blasting the music, they got some strong subwoofers hooked up, you can feel the vibration and umph. My booth was shaking and vibrating, and I got a warning from my apple watch that it was too loud. It was very difficult to hold a conversation. Then I realized there was a birthday party going on. Once the party left, the volume was lowered to a more moderate level. Chips were fresh and still warm. Refried beans was pretty well seasoned, smooth and creamy. Salsa was pretty standard, mild in spice. The tentation roll was packed with rice. The first roll they bought out, they forgot to add the smoked salmon. We notified the staff and they quickly corrected the order. When they bought out the roll, it was toped with fresh salmon rather than smoked salmon listed on the menu. The salmon was very fresh it was good. The ratio of filling needs a lot of work, it threw off the balance, more than half our roll was missing the shrimp and only had a large slice of cucumber and cream cheese. While the ones that did have the shrimp, it was overpowered by the huge chunk of cucumber. The roll lacked a lot of consistency. The sauce flavor was on point, but would have it give it a 1.5 out of 5. Octopus Taco was cheesy and tasted a bit like BBQ. I liked the octopus texture, nicely cooked a hint of heat. 3 out of 5. Prime taco was amazing, the cheese was grilled crispy, the beef was very tender and well marinated. Highly recommend. 4.5 out of 5 The Boiled Shrimp was decent, sauce packs a good amount of heat, we got medium. The sauce is different than your normal Cajun spot like boiling crab, but it was pretty good. You can taste a bit of the Cajun and had a bit of tang to it. In the beginning some of shrimp is boarder line overcooked, near the end the residual overcooked the shrimp. Good quality shrimp, the meat had a hint of sweetness to it. 3 out of 5 Overall, the food was decent. If I was to come back I would order a dish more focused on the beef and another shrimp dish. The beef there seems really good and tender. While I was walking to the bathroom, someone ordered a beef dish and it looked really good. The service was a bit slow, but everything came out was hot and fresh. read more

Where to start. Well oh well oh well. The name in itself explains it all. Culichi Town situated in Sinaloa, Mexico I believe. Flavors of Japanese and Mexican, what a combination. Their exquisite selection of drinks entices me when I browsed over their menu. Since it was my first time there, I always like to ask my host or hostess what is their most popular on demand item and what do they like. Sometimes you end up with an upside down or you straight. It can go any way. We've always enjoyed the recommendations we get. Exploring a menu is like looking up something in an Encyclopedia. lol. I need to know what it means and what does it contain. The ambiance is beautiful. Yeah I get it, we may had been the only Asian couple that walked in like we boss too. No, we really are foodies. Went there to enjoy our alone time, have some good food, good drinks that will keep you relax snd the best part of it all is live music. We live music and it don't matter to us whether we understand it or not, it is music to our ears. We love food and everyone's culture. Need to appreciate what we have around us. I'd come back again for round 2. read more

Came here for a special occasion. Came at a dawdle time, mid-afternoon. Not busy at all. Was asked if we wanted water mid-way through our meal. Water NEVER came. Ordered 3 type of tacos : fish, shrimp and octopus. The octopus taco was seriously drenched in sauce, hardly any octopus meat in it--excitement diminished from thereon. My Selena drink came bubbly with liquid nitrogen fog. I would have appreciated if there was an education part of service. Ideally we should be warned to wait until the bubbling and gas fades. It is actually dangerous to ingest liquid nitrogen. Even the expert mixologist would refuse to drink for their health and safety priority. I honestly didn't needed that show. I sipped during the liquid nitrogen was still active and might have felt a bit bloated. Was concerned when I got home and did some research. It was quite alarming read. Plus, they can also educate more on what is on the rim of the cup. I was not fond of the black stuff: BURNT tortillas and salt. Pretty sad about the first experience. Pro: chip and drips were good. read more

If you want to enjoy a happy place with Mexican songs and culture, this is your place. If your energy doesn't match this restaurant, I can totally understand but that's not their fault. I read a few negative reviews before I went there, and I'm glad that I went there and now I have my own opinion:) I loved everything there. The Banda, the service, the food, cocktails and ambiance. My friend and I ordered their Carajillo and Cantarito for cocktails, they were tasting amazing. Everything that we ordered for food was delicious, especially their tacos. The rolls are also pretty good. I can't wait to come back and enjoy the food, drinks and music with friends! read more

I came here for the first time and was genuinely impressed. I visited on the day the World Cup started when Mexico was playing, and it made for such a fun experience. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, making it the perfect place to watch the game while enjoying some really good food. One of my favorite things was the Coconut Horchata, it was absolutely delicious and something I'll definitely order again. The service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was welcoming and enjoyable. I'll definitely be coming back. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere! read more

The restaurant is undeniably beautiful, but unfortunately the experience doesn't match the setting. Service was extremely slow despite the restaurant not being busy and lots of staff on site. We had to flag down our server just to place our order, and later had to ask several times for the check. One entrée even arrived before the appetizers, and the rest of our table waited over 10 minutes for their dishes and appetizers to catch up. The drinks, though dramatic prepared tableside on a cart were all show and no substance. They're overhyped, weak, and lacking real flavor. Food was a mixed bag: the molcajete was genuinely delicious and the highlight of the meal, but the sushi rolls were packed with rice and noticeably short on toppings/meat. The tacos although had a nice look, were sadly disappointing, the marlin taco was greasy and overly salty, and the octopus cooked on a questionable sauce that took all the taste away. Overall, Culichi has promising elements, but it misses the essence and consistency needed for a great dining experience. read more

English: I had a really disappointing experience at Culichi Town. We were seated pretty quickly, but after that not a single staff member came to check on us -- no water, no greeting, nothing. We waited about an hour and still weren't helped at all. Meanwhile, people who were seated after us were already getting chips, salsa, and drinks while we were still sitting there wondering if anyone even knew we existed. They're known for their party-style atmosphere, but it honestly feels like that's the only thing they focus on. The music was so loud you couldn't even think or have a conversation, which just made the whole experience more frustrating on top of the terrible service. After a hour of waiting we just got up and left. It ended up being one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. A fun vibe doesn't make up for completely ignoring your customers. Spanish: Tuve una experiencia realmente decepcionante en Culichi Town. Nos sentamos bastante rápido, pero después de eso ni un solo miembro del personal vino a ver cómo estábamos, sin agua, sin saludo, sin nada. Esperamos alrededor de una hora y aún así no nos ayudaron en absoluto. Mientras tanto, la gente que estaba sentada después de nosotros ya estaba recibiendo patatas fritas, salsa y bebidas mientras nosotros todavía estábamos sentados allí preguntándonos si alguien sabía que existíamos. Son conocidos por su ambiente de fiesta, pero honestamente parece que eso es lo único en lo que se centran. La música estaba tan alta que ni siquiera podías pensar o tener una conversación, lo que hizo que toda la experiencia fuera más frustrante además del terrible servicio. Después de una hora de espera, nos levantamos y nos fuimos. Terminó siendo una de las peores experiencias de restaurante que he tenido. Un ambiente divertido no compensa ignorar por completo a tus clientes. read more

Completely Ignored I'm honestly shocked by how bad the service was. We were seated and left sitting there for nearly an hour without even being offered water. No greeting, no check-in, no explanation nothing. Watching staff walk past our table over and over without acknowledging us was incredibly frustrating. I understand restaurants get busy. I'm patient. But basic hospitality starts with at least offering water and letting guests know someone will be with them shortly. That didn't happen. After an hour of being completely ignored, we left. There was no apology, no urgency, and no effort to make it right. Very disappointing experience. I won't be coming back. read more

The server was so helpful! She suggested items, which did not disappoint. If you like agua chile or ceviche this place is a must! went on a Saturday, and literally had dinner and a show. For starters they had mariachi and soon there after the banda showed up. So to say the least the ambiance was on point! Will def be returning. read more

We walked in tonight for our first visit and the music was so loud that no one could talk. We moved tables into the bar and it was still unbearable. THEN, the live band came on and the entire family's Apple Watches alerted that the sound level was dangerously high. They again turned up the sound level and I asked the manager to please turn it down, he shrugged and said "I can't". We had already ordered drinks and appetizer, but waked out. The restaurant smelled bad and was completely impossible to remain in. I do not know how anyone in the main dining room could hear let alone talk. The menu's were dirty with food stains and some of the menus we had were unreadable due to spills and the print rubbed off the pages. read more

Came here for my first time in a Friday night. I surprised by the food in a good way. I liked everything I ordered from the chips and guacamole to the salsa and bean dip that came with it. The fish filet was boneless and the sauce I like although my co worker didn't but agreed the fish was done. The fish was the Zarandeado filet. Our serve was very nice but didn't speak one bit of English, Spanish only. My only complaint and its significant was the live band. I assume the band is only a Friday and Saturday night thing but I've no idea. It was so loud the serve couldn't hear us and we couldn't hear him. I would yell at my co-worker sitting in front of me and we still couldn't hear each other. We had to text each other to communicate even though we were sitting 5 ft from each other. If they would just lower the volume, I'd given this place 5 stars. read more

Been here a few times now and I really like this place! Definitely recommend reservation if you plan to go on a Friday/ Saturday night, but you should be good without one if you go during a time that's not as busy. When you're first seated, you receive complimentary chips, salsa, and beans. All were very good! I usually get their aguachile verde, it is soo good! Their horchata and horchata con coco were both good, but nothing special. I have also tried their La Doris drink, which was okay. We also got their lobster and steak which was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavor was really good too. I love that there is plenty of parking and I personally love the Banda. However, it is hard to have a conversation as it is so loud. I love how spacious the restaurant is and the bathrooms are very aesthetic too. Definitely recommend. read more

The atmosphere and food presentation was great, but raw seafood freshness is lacking: very watery taste, as if they have just been defrosted. Raw oysters were especially smelly. The fries in the stake were undercooked. They crank up the music at ~8:50pm, as to signal for customers to leave. Does a Mexican restarurant know how to do ceviche (Chilean)? Or is it the inexperienc fo the staff? We left very dissapointed by the food quality. read more

We visited this restaurant for Mother's Day as a party of seven. Upon entering, my two kids and I were not greeted--no smile, no "hello"--just awkward stares from the front desk, which made us feel unwelcome. I ended up finding my party on my own and walking over to join them. I ordered a cocktail that tasted good but seemed to lack any alcohol. I haven't had a drink in months and expected at least a slight buzz, but I didn't feel a thing, which made me question whether it was even made properly. On a positive note, the appetizers (chips, beans, salsa, and guac) were all fresh and delicious. I had the seafood platter special with a side of avocado--flavorful, spicy sauce, and a solid 7/10 dish. My daughter's sushi roll was just okay, maybe a 6/10. The kids' burger meal came in a fun box, and while I appreciated the toasted buns, the patty didn't taste like 100% beef. Others in our group ordered ceviche, tacos, and the oyster platter--no one was impressed, and most of it went home in to-go boxes, especially considering the high prices. Service was where things really fell apart. No one checked in on us during the meal. We had to wave down servers repeatedly, and two people didn't get their meals until 15-20 minutes after everyone else was already eating. Only when we flagged someone down did they realize they had missed those orders. A $10 Sprite with no lemon? Ridiculous. Getting to-go boxes and drink cups was also a hassle. Then came the bill--over $400, which would be fine at a high-end restaurant if the service and food quality matched. They added a $50 gratuity and then still prompted us for a tip, which felt bold given how little attention we received--no water or refills, no check-ins, and forgotten orders. Overall, the experience was underwhelming and overpriced. We won't be returning. read more

My fiance told me about a new restaurant in The Plant. After doing a bit of research, I found that he was referring to Culichi Town. We decided to check it out for dinner on a Sunday night around 7pm. My first impression of the place was, "Wow, the place was poppin'," but I soon realized I basically was signing up for having dinner at a club. On top of there being a DJ, there was a mariachi band performing for someone's birthday. In general, the music was so loud that I could hardly hear my partner, who was sitting next to me in the booth. I also had to raise my voice / borderline scream across the table for our server to hear me. It wasn't the experience I wanted to have on a Sunday night before work on Monday. Now If I was drunk on a Friday or Saturday night, then this may be a different story and I would've been into it. Admittedly, I wasn't mentally prepared for it. Speaking of not being mentally prepared, I was completely weirded out by a person in costume that looked like a scary nun straight out of a horror film. Was this part of the spectacle or was this a customer? Either way, it was a WTF moment. My fiance and I looked around at the other guests to see their reaction, but no one batted an eye. Service was great. Our food came out super fast, and our server was very friendly and attentive. I could tell she was trying her best to hear us through the loud music. The Taco Prime stood out to us, but we asked for other recommendations from our server. She suggested we try the Guamuchilito and the Hot Cheeto ceviche. The taco was excellent. I would come back for that. The meat was tender and flavorful. The Guamuchilito was the deep fried sushi roll with imitation crab, sliced avocados, and a chili sauce. It was a pretty basic roll, but I would go as far as saying that it tasted better than deep fried rolls I've had at Japanese restaurants. I would pass on the Hot Cheeto ceviche. Honestly, I found the Hot Cheetos as gimmicky. They did nothing for the dish. The ceviche was average as well. Lastly but not least, I tried the Selena cocktail and enjoyed it. The agua de Jamaica was so refreshing and sweet. I'm leery about dry ice in drinks, so just a heads up that they do use dry ice. read more
