    Green Secret Roll
    Angel T.

    I came here after seeing it recommended on Yelp and am happy to say that it lived up to expectations! I tried the funky rice-less Green Secret Roll (cucumber wrapped with salmon, tuna, imitation crab) which was fresh and yummy, the Mango Crunch Roll (like a spicy tuna with a piece of fresh mango with avocado and salmon) - also so good, and the combo tempura (2 shrimp + assorted veggies -- the good assortment with pumpkin and broccoli, not just onion lol). I also had the salmon belly nigiri which was a two piece dish. The salmon was seared to perfection and deliciously rich. Ambiance is on the casual side. Saw lots of families with kids, groups of teens, and older couples around for a Sunday night dinner. Tables are spread out so it doesn't feel too crowded. We'll definitely be back!

    Great food! Great Service! We enjoyed our first visit and will go back for sure. Portion sizes were very excellent and sushi was fresh! We are happy to have a wonderful neighborhood gem like this. We recommend that you support your local merchants!

    Mango Crunch Roll
    Jenny D.

    We ate at Goku Sushi on a Saturday evening. There were many parking spaces in the plaza. The restaurant is medium-sized, holding up to 100 people. When we arrived, we got seated immediately. The host was flexible with us, allowing us to choose where we could sit. The restaurant is quite calm and has moderate noise. We ordered four rolls for two people. Our favorite was the Goku Special (10/10) since the crunchy outer layer matched perfectly with the fish flavor inside the roll. We rated the Dragon Roll 9/10, Mango Crunch 8/10, and Golden California Roll 7/10. All the rolls were delicious. We would definitely return here to eat sushi again!

    Hamachi Lover Roll
    Rui Y.

    This is a pretty middle-of-the-road sushi spot; its menu offers pretty standard sushi restaurant fare, including some rice plate and udon options alongside the usual appetizers, nigiri, sashimi, and rolls. The decor is a bit trite, but it's well lit and clean. The parking lot was crowded, but the restaurant itself wasn't overly busy, so we were seated immediately. The service was good--the servers were very friendly and attentive, and our food came out pretty quickly after we ordered as well. We ordered two of the sashimi sampler alongside the hamachi lover roll. I liked the roll! The ratio of fish, rice, and avocado were great. The sashimi sampler, however, was a little disappointing. The presentation was a little awkward--long, thin cuts of fish folded up into little bowls and scattered with greens. 4 of the 6 pieces were seared, which I have never expected when ordering sashimi. The pricing was a little on the higher end of normal, and, while the food was decent, it doesn't outdo any of the other local sushi spots that I have visited in the area. The roll was ~$17 and the sashimi sampler nearly $18. Overall, I think Goku Sushi is a decent spot. If I'm nearby and craving sushi, it is definitely in the running, even if it isn't my first choice. I'd personally ask for details on the contents of any of their samplers/combos in the future, though.

    2/21/2026 same w friends Welcomed and seated. A corner shop w plenty of seating. Asked the server if the lunch menu set was still an option as it was just one min past the promo. They were very accommodating and allowed it. I got the sushi combo and shishito pepper as an appetizer. The sushi combo came w a miso soup, rice, salad, 4 piece California roll, two gyoza, and 5 nigiri. All the sushi I ate were delicious. The shishito was overcooked so it was kinda rubbery. Very not good. And pretty much the only down side. I even recommended the dish to my friend which I felt bad. -1 Love the location and the food.

    I came here end of December for my friend's birthday. She chose this place, so we decided to give it a try. We went on a weekday, so there wasn't a lot of customers when we arrived. We weren't too hungry so we decided to order and share food. We got the lion king, mango crunch, a cream cheese roll, house salad, raw oysters and beer. Our favorite rolls here ended up being the mango crunch and the lion king roll. The lion king roll is baked and is flavorful. It was comparable to cha cha sushi's for us. The mango crunch was another favorite because my boyfriend and friend said they could valley taste the mango in there unlike when we go to other sushi restaurants. My friend and I enjoyed the raw oysters, but my boyfriend didn't like it because he said he could taste the sea water from it. I ended up eating his since I couldn't taste what he was tasting haha. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the sushi here. I'll be back again when I'm craving sushi to try the other food items on the menu. Service was friendly making our meal more enjoyable. Ambiance felt nice and like home inside. They also had Dragon Ball Z decor referencing the store's name. Multiple tables started to arrive was we were getting ready to leave, so I guess we came before the rush.

    Sashimi Special Extra, Dragon Roll, Mango Crunch, & Goku Special Roll
    Jacklyn T.

    Wow. Just incredibly underwhelming & disappointing visit. Having been to Goku multiple times (and loving it every time) I was excited to show my family this place. The rolls were underwhelming and nothing to rave home about. The worst part about the meal was definitely the Sashimi. All the fish looked discolored and tasted old. It felt like they were using up their last supply of fish before a new delivery or something. Mind you the sashimi we received today was $60 of garbage. On top of the bad cuts of fish, I'm just embarrassed I raved about how good they were to my family.

    I wish I had made it in time for lunch soecials. I'll need to come back.

    Went here for the first time with my mom and I was pleasantly pleased. The wait staff was incredibly attentive, everything looked clean and organized, the menu selection was larger than I anticipated, and the food was good. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and came out in a timely manner. Literally, no complaints. Even the parking is easy and convenient.

    We were in the area and wanted to try a new restaurant. Found this place less than a mile from where we were at. So glad we found it! Goku Sushi opened up in our hometown of Morgan Hill and just opened up this new location in South San Jose. Ambiance was inviting and friendly with good decor. Servers were all friendly and refilled our waters without being asked. The rolls were reasonably priced considering we frequent a lot of sushi restaurants not just in the Bay Area but also out of state. The Baked Rolls were $13.95, which is way less expensive than other sushi restaurants and the flavors were very delicious. Our son ordered the Lion King with baked salmon and I ordered Bay Island with baked scallops. We all agreed that the Bay Island was the bomb! The Unagi Avocado roll & Warrior Roll was also tasty. Especially the garlic chips on top of unagi sauce and seared salmon. delicious ! Nice combo. Kinda disappointed that they didn't serve wine but was able to order a hot sake to share and it was still satisfying and complimented the meal. Will be definitely coming back to try the lunch specials and other specialty rolls!

    This place is a cute little restaurant with some Goku decor, hence the name. We were seated quickly for lunch on a Sunday. Service was pretty quick and attentive. The food was good but not mind blowing, the hotate and toro were pretty good of all of the nigiri I had. The karage had a nice crunch but a bit salty to me and tempura had a bit more batter than I prefer. We got the Goku and Ultimate shrimp delight rolls and they were good This is a simple Japanese restaurant if you wanted something quick!

    We had a 5:00 PM reservation at Goku Sushi for a large family group of 14, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. We ordered a wide variety of dishes and everything was really good. Our order included tempura appetizers, grilled whole squid, hamachi kama, the Goku Family Boat, salmon teriyaki plate, beef teriyaki plate, chicken udon, and several rolls -- Kayla Roll, Goku Special Roll, Climax Rolls, Lion King Roll, and Mango Crunch Roll. Every dish came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The highlights for me were the beef teriyaki, the Goku special roll, and especially the Goku Family Boat, which was perfect for sharing and a huge hit with our group. The servers were very attentive and handled our large party smoothly, which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be back -- especially since we noticed they offer lunch specials too. Highly recommend!

    Checked out Goku Sushi for the first time. Been eyeing this new sushi spot for sometime as it is close to my house. Restaurant is really colorful and clean. The service here was excellent. I had the Mango Crunch which was made to perfection. I loved that roll. I got the classic California Roll which was solid and the gyoza was very crispy and flavorful. Definitely coming back soon to check out their amazing lunch specials.

This restaurant used to be my favorite place, but not after my recent experience on 9/5/26. It was Friday night, but only 3 parties were already dining in. I ordered an Assorted Sashimi Plate and Saba Shioyaki Dinner after another party was seated. It took them about 20 minutes to bring out an uncooked Saba Shioyaki (Mackerel), while my sashimi (uncooked fish) dinner was still somewhere in limbo. I also realized that people who sat next to us got their food, although they came after. I refused the Saba Shioyaki Dinner and asked for the menu so I could order Hamachi Karma and Hawaiian poke salad. Another 15 minutes later, they brought out the Poke and Hamachi Karma. I was making a joke with my friend that hopefully the Karma is not uncooked. Son of a Gun! It was gelatin inside; we could see the pink bone! My friend was upset, so he stood up and complained to the waiter. My sashimi dinner finally came out, and it tasted just like frozen fish. At that point, I was completely done with this place. I paid my bill with a $10 reward card discount and gave my extra card away to the other party who had just sat down. This gesture meant that I wouldn't come back here anytime soon.

The tempura was ok to me, but hubby enjoyed the crunchy shrimps quite well. The sunshine roll was my least favorite primarily because it's too sweet perhaps just a matter of personal preference. We also received two pieces of complimentary grilled salmon belly, they were fresh, moist, with crispy skin; simply delicious. Very glad that we rediscovered Suro, will be back again soon.
