    My friends and I lucked out and snagged a few seats for their pre-opening dining. Chef Sasaki was amazing - not only did he prepare an amazing meal, but he was personable and friendly throughout the dinner. If I remember correctly, there was 16 courses, I think maybe more? Regardless, I enjoyed every bite and was stuffed before the final few courses had wrapped up. The dining experience was very intimate, with a total of 9 guests for the evening. I overheard some of the other guests say they had dined with Chef Sasaki in Japan and loved him so much they made it a point to come see him here in the bay. Everything was delicious, the fish was fresh, and the sake recommendations by Chef Sasaki exceeded my expectations. The space was beautifully renovated. Although minimal, you can tell they put thought into every detail.

    Food quality was top notch and great service. Chef being from Japan (and owning a restaurant in Tokyo) and his meticulous attention to detail made the experience one of the standouts. The fact that his apprentice goes to the fish market, hand picks the fish and sends them here is a one of a kind experience. I would come back!

    Thank you to Chef Sasaki and the entire team for making my birthday dinner celebration so special!

    Huge thanks to Chef Sasaki and the staff for an unforgettable birthday dinner! For a soft opening, the service was top-notch, and the omakase was truly incredible with gorgeous presentation. We can't say enough good things about Ezo Omakase. We'll be back again soon!

    Excellent sushi omakase with amazing sake pairing. So great that we have one in Santa Clara.

    Glad to see someone coming from Japan and starting a restaurant in this neighborhood out of many place they can choose from. I really want them to succeed. At this price point things need to be impeccable to get repeat business. There are many thing that are done right, but I want to point out things that are correctable and some things the owner need to decide whether they want to change. I didn't get a chance to talk to the owner, but I know he read the reviews. Here's some things I would like to see to get this to 5 stars as I feel it is 3.5 stars in the soft opening. 1) The ambience is not good. I feel I'm in a doctor's office the moment I walked in. I think the space it too big that can seat over 20 people even though there was only 8 of us. The 5:15pm sitting the interior is too bright with the sun shining in. Get some bamboo shades to darken the place and control the interior light to make it warm and inviting. The space is too sparse, get some texture, painting, or color on the walls and maybe some plants to make the space less sterile. 2) I don't know if this is Hokkaido style where you serve sushi after sushi with the same rice and seasoning but different fish. But it gets boring after a while. But I know the chef can be creative as he compose a few dishes. Some of the good ones like the crispy fish with the crispy taro and little tiny balls. The potato ice cream. Egg with crab. At this price point, I want to be wowed with the creativity and remember the experience. Anyway, I don't know if this is the Hokkaido style, but I would prefer the quality ingredients be used for something other than sushi. 3) Maybe this is an American thing where we eat a lot more. I left the place not really full. I don't do omakase very often but in my small sample size I never left not feeling full, even in places I tried in Japan and Zurich. I know in Japan people don't eat until full, but the expectations in the US are different. I would imagine most people won't complain to be polite, but will they come back as a repeat customer. 4) You have to reserve and pay ahead of time online. What was irritating was the service fee, and the mandatory tip was computed on dinner price + service fee and not just on the dinner price. I don't know what the service fee was for since there was already a tip. But I certainly didn't feel good about that. Why not just include the service fee into the dinner price. Anyway, I don't want to sound negative. I appreciate quality Japanese restaurant coming to town and want them to succeed. But there are some issues to address if they want to continue charging these prices. Pictures includes every item served during my meal and the sparse dining area.

    Chef Sasaki delivers a really authentically Japanese omakase but with creative twists that were a delight.

    Ask any sushi chef worth his salt... he will tell you that sushi is more about the rice NOT the…read morefish. Omee.J is not a super traditional Japanese sushi restaurant. In fact, the chefs are korean. Take that how you will... but one thing I can say for sure is this... This place is by far the most consistent sushi restaurant i've been to in the Bay. The sushi rice is the same EVERY time. That's not easy to do... Why? Because the same rice from the same vendor will be drier/more wet depending on which time of year you get it. That said, you have to accurately adjust the amount of water when cooking the rice. It's not easy. The food here is VERY consistent. Sounds weird to say but I wouldn't be surprised if the Head Chef here has OCD.

    I came into this place with pretty high expectations because of all the great reviews, so I was…read morekind of expecting my mind to be blown, but it didn't quite hit that level for me. The food was decent overall, and the aroma when everything came out was really nice. The restaurant itself is very clean and has a good atmosphere, but it is a bit on the pricier side. We ordered the Caterpillar, Alaska, Erika 54, and Big Daddy rolls. Out of everything, I liked the Alaska roll the most, it tasted fresh and the crab was really good. The other rolls were okay, nothing bad, just not super memorable. Overall, it was an okay experience, just not as amazing as I expected based on the ratings. Overall, I'd give it a 3.5/5.

    Food: Salted Saba bento 3/5…read moreThis is a pretty straightforward bento. I wasn't too big of a fan of the gyoza so I'd recommend replacing it with tempura when you order. The gyoza is fried well but the fillings is mushy. Miso soup and salad comes with the bento. The Saba was dry but the portion of fish they gave is pretty generous! Service: Service is friendly but slow. This could have been because I came with a large party though so that could have affected the service times. They did end up forgetting some orders at the table but since there was only one server at the time, handling the entire restaurant, it's understandable. Ambiance: Pretty cozy. Japanese decorations here and there.

    Be careful. The Yelp reviews aren't accurate. They are biased at least 2-3 stars too high. Read the…read moremost recent reviews in the last year before going here. And make sure you read the details and filter out the ones with few reviews to account for biasing by friends of the owner and workers. Called in togo order for last minute dinner guests. 2 bentos, 3 rolls. Sat at sushi counter waiting for order to be completed. Upon sitting received angry glare from the grill cook who had the demeanor of a WWE Wrestler. There are 2 cooks, one does sushi wearing gloves. The other is a line cook manning the grill. The wrestler. He is unsanitary. Doesn't glove and doesn't wash hands. Handles raw meat with bare hands then without washing goes to prep bentos transferring bacteria to the serving dishes while plating. Waited for 15m. The rolls were done and one bento was done. Heard a discussion between the cashier and wrestler about there were 2 ribeye bentos and he gave one to me. The wrestler got visibly angry and rescinded the order. He could have cooked one up in 3-5m. He declined and refused to do anything. Make people wait. He went to the back out of view; I assume to a toilet break. I asked for a refund so I could leave. No response. 20m later he appears from the back and has another discussion with the cashier. Now it is clear I am being punished for existing and sitting at the sushi counter waiting for an order to be prepared. . Pretty sure there was a load of feces and and E Coli being transferred to my to go order as an additional punishment. Saw a low grade piece of meat being dropped onto the grill. Never seen a ribeye like that. Seems like a low quality piece of meat. Sinew and thin with layers of sinew interspersed throughout the slice. I just paid 97$ to these people. Asked for a refund again for the missing item. Was clear it wasn't waiting for food to be prepared. Health risk. Low quality fish. The tuna they use is reformed and food coloring is added to give it the tuna color. stomach ache the next day. mild food poisoning.
