Great place for quick takeout, especially for their nigiri & rolls. (Bento box also!) It's reasonably priced, gives you a lot of options, and the quality is awesome! If you are looking for high quality and tasty nigiri, you will be happy with this restaurant. The staff is friendly too! read more

Love the baked mussels and Hunter attack delicious. The crunch roll and shrimp tempura roll are great as well

A hidden gem next Bay Fair Mall. A friend and I stopped here after looking around the mall, wanting dinner, and what did we find? A marvelous little sushi bar with amazing menu of rolls and favorites! The portions were generous and the tastes nothing short of spectacular. The staff are friendly and service was first-rate. If you find yourself at the mall, go give Joy a try, you will only regret that you did not visit sooner read more

Joy sushi is one of my favorite spots! This new location is branched off from the Joy Sushi in San Mateo and Mountain View. The quality of both restaurants are fantastic! Usually restaurants expanding loses quality control but quality is perfect. I've gotten a bunch of different rolls, hand rolls, sashimi, and bentos. Everything was great! I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. read more

The sushi rolls at Joy Sushi taste so good and fresh, especially the baked ones like Joy King roll. Have to try Joy Scallop one next time. The bento boxes have generous portions of meat. Love the salmon and beef teriyaki. Thanks, I'll be back. read more

Time to time we have ordered the scallop roll and the lobster roll, both good and baked. Great portions and amazing service! read more

Took almost an hour for a takeout order and food turned out to not be very good. It was bland and there was too much rice. Would not be coming back here anytime soon. read more

Very dissapointed with my food, I ordered a chirashi don and the lettuce that came with it has mold at this one spot and is disgustingly old, I find it gross that It's laying next to raw fish ready to be consumed. The fish quality isn't that good either, a few pieces were falling apart and don't taste that fresh. The rice is overly sour and has too much rice vinegar in it. read more

Joy Sushi - Chirashi don, lettuce was disgusting and had mold - Japanese Near Me - San Leandro, California

We love coming here! The service is fast and the food is delicious. We always leave stuffed and everything on the menu looks so good that we overorder every time and end up having some yummy leftovers. My favorite is the Mexicano roll but everything here is really good. The restaurant is a little small so if you plan on coming here with a bigger group, definitely should call first and make sure there's space. I think max occupancy is probably around 15 or so. read more

I'll certainly return to this restaurant. Food is fresh, service is good. Good location.

Over cooked. Chicken tasted like a rock. Salmon overcooked. They don't even know how to cook sushi's rice. What kind of sushi restaurant is that? read more

Great service and great food! Very good selection of food (sushi, udon, poke bowls, etc) and the quality is always good. I love coming here!

I used to work at Japanese restaurant as chef for many years, it's not hard to make Japanese food at home, but you would need to prepare a lot of ingredient to make one or two dish. We decided to try this out as my wife work at near by, we arrived at 12pm no one in the restaurant we were the only customer. Looking at the huge menu normally you would staff one Sushi chef, one grill and one deep fried etc. We saw only one chef in the kitchen, I was kind of surprised.. We ordered two item bento ( spicy chicken, mix tempura ), ( chicken kasu, and chicken teriyaki ). If you cook with a raw chicken on the grill it will take at least 20 mins on medium heat, using high heat will burn the chicken, so most the restaurant would cook the chicken once and preheat again when there is an order. Our chicken were so hard and dried even with teriyaki sauce. The chicken were not cook from raw chicken, more like frozen precooked chicken perhaps we order the wrong food.. The fresh made tempura come with light color, ours came with dark yellow with uneven color, this usually result in the tempura flour was not flash made daily, and dirty deep fried oil with uneven color cooked food. The only thing fresh were miso soup and salad. This is the kid of the food you get with under staff chef restaurant. read more

Sushi was fresh, great tasting and the rolls are very generous in size. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed!

This location for Joy Sushi opened up recently, and it has become my go-to for sushi. I love the lambada roll but my favorites are the chirashi & edamame. Consistently very fresh and filling! read more

Great sushi for a reasonable price. The sake sashimi was super fresh. Definitely will be back.

Ordered two items: Chirashi - A bit pricey for the amount of food you get. The sashimi slices are inconsistent in size but they are FRESH. The rice didnt have much flavor though. (3 out of 5) Dinner Bento Box - California roll is good but a bit thick on the rice.Tempura mix was all good. Tonkatsu was crispy and flavorful (4 of 5) read more

Sad Shrimp tempura ever! I do not think they have used tempura batter...it was soft and the smallest shrimp I ever had. The sushi rice had too much water, the avocado used already turned dark brown color, the crabmeat...not sure what it was and the sauce on top was not very generous. Maybe next time I will revisit and order at Joy Sushi but not anytime soon. read more

Started ordering here a few months ago. It's been very good and great timing on the pick up orders. For sure my go-to sushi spot.

I ate here for the first time yesterday and I had the Joy sushi roll. The sauce that was used tasted spoiled. I couldn't even finish it. It made me want to puke. Won't be back. read more

I've always ordered through the phone, but their customer service has always been great. The sushi quality is really good for it's price. I've become a fan of this place! It's a must try! read more

Needed a quick, healthy bite and tried this place. Ordered Tekka Maki and Veggie Roll. The tuna was fresh and the rice was cooked just right. Veggie was good too (l little bit sweet, but good). Will come back again. read more

I enjoy eating Japanese food and this is one of the beset restaurants around the Bay Area! The food is amazing and the service is so friendly!! read more

Joy is what I felt while I devoured these two beautiful rolls. I highly recommend you get yourself a taste! Definitely coming back for more

Just ordered a basic, chicken teriyaki dinner. Honestly, some of the worst chicken I've ever had. Being charbroiled should not mean burnt, and this was burnt. Several pieces were full of gristle and honestly even their teriyaki sauce had very little flavor. Accompanied by a small pile of standard white rice without the availability to switch to brown rice. Miso soup was ok and the small "bagged" iceberg lettuce salad came with a cup of thick dressing that was mayonnaise based. $12.95 for a dinner that should be no more than $8.95. Will NOT be back. read more

Generously portioned, fresh fish. Ordered the nigiri appetizer which was all fish, and no egg or no ebi (shrimp) because I am allergic to shrimp. Each piece of fish was fresh and tasty. The California roll was huge. Hubby had the 2 item bento which is doesn't sound like much but the tempura is automatically Included. He would have preferred the spicy chicken to be less saucy, but you make like that. Flavor was fine. Gyoza is the fried crunchy type. The gave us all miso soup, thank you :) read more

I love the Poke bowl at this place. The sauces are much different to the other poke places. Also the manager always drops an extra something for the regulars read more

Tried the bento box. The portion size is so small. Taste is ok but I am not impressed. With this price, better choices are available in the nearby area. read more

We ordered the party tray $85. Most of the rolls are all same with tuna, salmon, avocado, and imitation crab. I expected 1 or 2 rolls with some hamachi (yellow tail). We got tired of it after eating a few piece because the portion was big with lot of rice. read more
