The ambiance felt very calm and had authentic Japanese vibes. I sat at the sushi bar in the corner. The dinner hours had just started so we were among the first customers there. Because of that, we didn't have a long wait and the staff was still prepping, which is ok as I don't need a lot when I'm dining. I ordered the 2 prettiest rolls, cherry blossom (tuna) and paul blossom (salmon) and shaped like flowers, and really enjoyed the overall taste. Nothing crazy special, but the fish was fresh. There was also plenty of fish, which makes it worth the cost. Definitely had my fill. Will definitely come back again. read more

Joy Sushi - Sashimi 8 Pieces Sashimi super fresh and delicious - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mountain View, California

See all

It's a decent enough, although very expensive sushi joint (aren't they all, though?) I came for the first time the other day as I was craving sushi after visiting the Mountain View Costco. I tried my usual sushi place but they were closed on a Monday so I did a quick search and found this place. My husband ordered a bento box, and I ordered the sushi lunch special which came with miso soup, salad, and 6 pieces nigiri and 8 pieces CA roll. I also ordered the veggie tempura as I did not think I'd be full enough on just the sushi. Total for the bill was about $55 without tip (yikes!). The sushi was ok, nothing particularly special, but good enough and fresh enough. The CA roll was hard to pick up it fell apart easily. The sauce for the tempura was very different than most I've tried, it was kind of tasteless. The nigiri sushi was basic, the usual shrimp, salmon and tuna with a couple white fish options. I did enjoy the hot tea, and the service was fine. read more

A cute and wonderful little sushi spot in a strip mall! They have an extensive menu complete with appetizers, bento, oyakodon, noodles, and sushi rolls of all types. We had the Lamada roll and chicken cutlet oyakodon. Food was well-prepared and the wait staff were so friendly and helpful. It's not a very spacious inside (a small sushi bar plus a few tables indoors) and there was a wait after 6:45pm, even on a Tuesday night. There are also outdoor tables with heat lamps. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu! read more

Really enjoyed our experience at Joy Sushi. I actually called ahead to make a reservation for lunch, but there were plenty available seats. This whole dining out thing is going to take some time to get back to what it used to be. Anyway, my wife and I worked up quite an appetite from a morning hike so we went a bit casual fancy. She opted for the Sashimi lunch combo while I did the Nigiri combo. They both came with a bowl of miso soup and a salad. The sashimi combo also came with a bowl of rice. The fish all tasted quite fresh! There was also quite a nice variety. I can't name them all but I certainly devoured them all. Some of them were really melt-in-your-mouth and worth savoring. Only nit was I think the salad came a bit overdressed. Service was friendly and attentive. I think definitely worth a revisit, probably stick with lunch as it looked like dinner prices are noticeably higher. read more

Quick stop for carry out while in town for business. Great place with excellent sushi at a reasonable price!

The spicy edamame was delicious and all the fish was fresh. We also tried the baked lobster roll and ordered a second roll. The space is a little small, only able to accommodate one large party, so not a place to bring more than 8 or so. The service was okay, they didn't check in very often and brought out bill before asking if we wanted another roll or anything else which was weird. So they had to take our bill back because we did want to order more. But the server was at least friendly and got our order correct. Would definitely go back! read more

I've been on a mission to find the best sushi restaurant within a 30 minute drive ever since my favorite roll was taken off the menu at my usual spot. I think I might have finally found it! I ordered two rolls to-go (el Camino and geisha) due to COVID. The el Camino roll was my favorite, but the geisha roll was amazing as well. The spicy tuna "crackers" were pretty good, but I was expecting the rice to be crunchy, and it was pretty soft. The flavor was still delicious, and the soft rice didn't stop me from eating them all. I can't wait until restaurants open again because I'm excited to go try Joy Sushi in person. There are just some things that don't travel well (IMO anything with tempura etc.). But until then, I will be picking up my sushi from here! *got to-go food here again 1/27 and it was just as amazing as I remember. The mango tango roll was so good as were the spicy edamame! read more

I have to admit, I usually don't like trying a new sushi place because it's all different. But I am glad that I tried joy sushi. And just as the name says. It brings JOY! It's located in a small plaza and the place is pretty small. Maybe a capacity of 25 people but there is an options for some people who wants to sit outdoors. It looks like a family own place and the employee there are super nice. Always coming by asking if everything is good and if we want some water. The two rolls I got is basic but it taste amazing. Gotta try the basic before going into the best ones. I got the Joy king, which is basically another name for the lion king. The salmon was a bit dry but of course they baked it. I do feel like they skimped out on the sauce. It needs to have more sauce. The other roll on the right is the dragon roll and of course very good! Overall, my experience at joy sushi was great! The price was acceptable and the people were really nice! They have AC indoors too, so that's a plus! read more

Joy Sushi - Joy King Roll on the left, the Dragon Roll on the right - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mountain View, California

I was in the mood for sushi and decided to try someplace new based off of location. I didn't want to go far from home. The website was put together well and the photos looked pretty good too, so I called to make a reservation. Let me say... This place was busy. Phone orders were back to back and with limited seating the tables stayed rotating. I ordered a bento box and a roll. It was a lot of food for one person but I wanted to try a few different items so I ordered both. Unfortunately I wasn't too happy with the food. It was missing something. Freshness? Flavor? Both? I don't know. I just didn't like it. read more

We order nearly every Saturday online. Looks like they were out of salmon poke, thus I received half tuna/half salmon. I specified 'do not substitute' items. What was even worse was the seaweed salad was also missing. I could maybe accept unwanted tuna but withhold seaweed and you've gone too far. You would think that since we usually order the same items time and again, it wouldn't be too hard to fulfill. You would be wrong. read more

I came here with my husband for lunch a few times. This place is very cute and cozy. We ordered sashimi plate everytime we visted here since it's always fresh. Joy sushi has an extensive menu so we tried other menu too. Loved Oyster fry and Hamachi Kama! Hamachi Kama was just perfect and Oyster fry was so fresh/juicy and you might want to grab a beer :) Servers are very kind and they quickly responded what we need (e.g. refilling water, offering hot tea, etc.) I highly recommend coming here!! read more

always amazing food and very friendly staff, has a super sick atmosphere that always makes you feel like your in japan

I've always passed by this place and decided to finally stop by to have lunch. There's a lot of seating inside and some outdoor seating which is nice! There's a lot of parking, which is always a plus. One of the workers greeted me so kindly and I asked if I could order to go. They said I could and gave me time to look over the menu and said I could come over whenever I was ready. I ordered 2 rolls and they told me it would be about 10 minutes and boy were they on it. As I was walking up (10 min later) one of the workers came out to me with my order and they also included miso soup. Everything was delicious and I'll definitely make my way over to have lunch here again. Their kindness made the experience top tier! read more

I just moved to this area so I had to go looking for a new sushi spot. You can order through their website or Grubhub, but not DoorDash. I browsed their menu online and phoned in my order directly. The store was very clean and I felt safe with the COVID measures I saw. I got the Rock'N Roll, Mercy, and 1st rolls. The Rock'N Roll was a standard unagi and avocado roll, basic but tasty. The other two roll were both good and rather similar. 1st was my favorite, the shrimp tempura was crunchy and salmon was tender. Many rolls are topped with Joy special sauce, it's nice and creamy but a touch too sweet for my taste. I would prefer regular spicy mayo for a kick. I did like that there was a lot of sauce in general. The fish tasted fresh and the portions were good. Overall I liked this place and will probably return once I've checked out a few more places in the area. read more

This is our go-to sushi place. We have tried other sushi places for the same price, but none of them compare to Joy Sushi. The quality of the sushi is amazing, the service is awesome, and their is warm welcoming feeling the moment you walk in. The place is super clean as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good quality sushi. read more

Joy sushi has been my go-to spot for a quick lunch during the weekdays for about a year now. You can get a 2 item bento (includes rice, miso soup, salad) for $12 or 3 item bento for $15. The lunch bentos are an awesome deal and the options are great! My favorite 2 item pairing is the salmon sashimi and 5 piece gyoza. They also do a $15 poke bowl that comes with salmon, tuna, and yellow tail with other fixings. You can add white or brown rice for free and it's a filling meal. My favorite sushi roll is the "1st", for $14 it has shrimp tempura, avacado, salmon, and cucumber. Highly recommend this place for lunch, however note that their bentos do increase in price for dinner time. read more

Joy Sushi - Poke Bowl - nice!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mountain View, California

Went there not too long ago with some friends. Food was decent and tasted OK. What really ticked us off is that we have been charged $0.50 per togo box (without giving us any heads up) and, when we asked for a refund for an ice tea that we could not drink (it wasn't very good as it was very strong and very cloudy), the $3 refund was denied due to "as soon as something leaves the kitchen, sale is final." (we spent over $200 on our dinner). It's not about the money. At the end of the day, what's extra $4 on a $200 check. I just don't think that a reputable business should treat its customers this way. There is definitely no way we are ever going to come back to this place. read more

Sometimes I feel like sushi isn't necessary hard to find good ones but somethat stand out definitely! And this one was a good one. Food: we ordered 4 different rolls. The portions were very generous, price was really good, and they we're very fresh ingredients. We got a baked, fried, and raw one. All were 10/10 in my book. We ordered the potato pancakes and they were just okay for me. We ordered miso soup which also I wish was complimentary but still good. Service: there were 2 ladies who were working yhe night we came in. I have a fee complaints. Although they were very nice they seemed overwhelmed with how busy it was and we're almost giving me anxiety running everywhere. The tables were a bit too close to each other for my liking, specially with covid. The place was clean which was nice. No wait time but it is small so that can vary I'm sure. Overall I would come back and recommend. read more

Joy Sushi - 3 Pieces Croquette were 6/10 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mountain View, California

Service is good, sushi is decent, a bit on the saucier side. The sushi platter is twice as expensive as other comparative restaurants - don't think the quality justify for the price point. About 80% are California rolls topped with fish - nothing special. Overall not a bad place to eat but can find better for more reasonable price. read more

Solid spot for rolls! My partner and I wanted sushi for dinner, so we decided to get Joy Sushi. They have online ordering, so I placed an order for pickup. We ordered a few items to share, including the: - baked mussels: online, it does say one order is five pieces, but it only came with 4. No problem though, as these were delicious! Creamy, sweet, and the mussels were cooked well! - mango paradise: this was my favorite of the rolls! The mango was sweet, and the hamachi was delicious. Very fresh-tasting roll! - 49ers roll: tasted just like a dragon roll with the addition of soft shell crab, and I loved it! That extra crunch from the crab was great. - joy king roll: their version of a lion king roll, and it was tasty! I'm not a huge fan of baked rolls because they tend to be very creamy and/or sweet, but that wasn't the case with this one. The salmon was baked well too! The meal also came with a couple containers of miso soup, which were also delicious and a great accompaniment to our dinner. I generally don't like rolls that have a ton of sauce, but none of these sauces were overbearing or too sweet. Also, huge plus that their online menu has photos! Will come back when I'm in the mood for rolls! read more

Ordered take out and it was amazing! I love how they labeled each of the rolls on the take out box. also a plus for presentation and the flower they added to the box Each roll was great!!! my favorite rolls were the joy king and megabyte. The mustard soy sauce on the megabyte was a great change of pace, I'd definitely order 2 next time. The soft shell crab was delicious in the spider roll and 49ers. Soft shell is one of my favorites, crunchy and delicious. It took 30 minutes to prepare the sushi (really fast) and it was ready when I arrived - no wait time! Cant wait to go back for the next friday night sushi items ordered: 2x spicy tuna Spider roll 1x. New York roll 1x Samauri 1x. Cherry blossom 1x. Dragon roll 1x. -no cuc 49ers roll 1x. Joy King 1x.

Went here, because of the 4 star review of course! True Yelper :) Ordered a couple rolls of sushi and some Tempura. Tempura was crispy and the sushi was good. It honestly tasted a little average like every other sushi spot, but just like slightly better. That probably does not make any sense, but good enough for like a 3.8 rating! Tempura looks pretty crispy, but was a little above average. Sushi was put together for the most part, but tasted decent. read more

Was craving sushi one night and my usual go to in Mountain View was closed. Based on yelp reviews, I decided to order for pickup from Joy Sushi through Uber Eats. The menu is veryyyy extensive with lots to choose from. We ended up ordering the Mango Tango Roll, Salmon & Ikura Roll, and Six Pieces Nigiri Appetizer. The service was great. My order was ready right on time and the employees at the store were very friendly when I came for pickup. However, I wasn't really impressed with the food as the fish didn't taste very fresh. I will say the rolls were better than the nigiri but I don't think I'd order from here again. Something I thought was really interesting is that menu items are more expensive if you order through their website vs if you order through a food delivery app. i.e. the 6 piece nigiri appetizer is $12.95 on Uber Eats but $14.95 if you order through their website. read more

I have eaten here since they opened. I live less than a mile away from Joy. Ignore the idiots who think tipping an restaurant in AMERICA is a crime. They have the freshest fish and try their beef teriyaki. They make the sauce in house. If you want to try something different, try the hwe-dup-bap. It's the Korean version of the Chirashi. You won't order Chirashi again. :) read more

Excellent sushi every time, good quality fish and also a good variety of tools to satisfy everyone's preferences!

This place continues to be our go-to sushi restaurant. We've been coming here for more than 4 years and the quality of food and friendly service is unwavering. Not only is it in close proximity to our home, but it's quiet and simple enough to enjoy a nice family dinner. Some of our favorites include the bento box and dragon roll sushi's. My all time favorite is still the Poke Bowl which I only buy during lunch for takeout. I always ask them that I don't like the salmon in my poke bowl and they're nice enough to give me extra hamachi as a substitute. We will continue to come here to enjoy our family dinners because it's our favorite. read more

Hi! Just wanted to say that if you're thinking of coming here, please do. The customer service was top notch and I certainly will be coming back. They had a good selection of sake, soju, and Japanese beers. I believe it was family owned-- to which I enjoyed. It has a hole in the wall experience that you find and throughly enjoy every so often. The sushi rolls were excellent and came out quickly. I didn't get a chance to try the nigiri or sashimi but I am certain that I will be back to try. Enjoy! read more

I ordered the charbroiled salmon teriyaki entree through GH, and it was good. The salmon portion is bigger than most, was well cooked, and the teriyaki sauce was good. It comes with rice, salad and miso soup, all of which were good bento box quality. I enjoyed the lunch and would order more from here in the future. read more

My go to spot for sushi. The Baked lobster roll is my favorite. California roll is also great and reasonably priced.
