This place was amazing. It was so good, we just dug right in. I didn't even take pictures. We had the edamame which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Then, we had the deep-fried Godzilla Roll, Gyoza that was the perfect crispness, Baked Lobster and Lion King Rolls, plus the Nagoya Crunch Roll. It was all wonderful. I've had a lot of sushi at a lot of places in the area but this was the best. I don't usually even like cream cheese but that Godzilla Roll was so good. It was like a really well done jalapeno popper. Our waiter was so nice and gracious. He said the sushi maker had been working there for 10 years and it really showed. I highly recommend this place. It is not a large restaurant and they do a lot of takeout but I will be going there again soon. read more

Cute little place and super nice guys, but most of the food was pretty disappointing. Miso soup was white and watery. Teriyaki chicken was soupy and flavorless. Salad was limp. Dipping sauce for agedashi tofu was watery. The tofu itself was good, however. Sushi was the bright spot - we had tamago, hotate, and sake toro - all were fresh and nicely made. There are plenty of good sushi places in town; this one just doesn't measure up, unfortunately. read more

Really fresh fish! Came for lunch an hour before they closed and was seated right away. Small restaurant with 5-6 tables max but felt really one-in-the-wall because it was in some random strip mall in SJ. Nice staff, quick service, and accepts Apple Pay. Got the salmon nigiri and Alaska roll and my partner got the chefs combo A (7pc chefs choice nigiri and a hand roll). Will be bac read more

Cambrian Neighborhood Gem We have passed by Nagoya for years and seen a steady steam of people coming and going. We wanted Japanese without having to travel. The place is a hidden gem in Cambrian. The guy that created us was so pleasant and wanting to help us. (Such a nice change from other places.). The place is small so you might have to wait if they get busy, be patient and plan ahead. There were three other of us and we started with two large Aisha beer and we got chilled beer glasses, that is a plus. We started off with two rolls. #14(49er Roll) and #21(Nagoya Crunch). Both had great flavor, ingredients tasted fresh , well constructed, nicely portioned and easily shareable. We also ordered the combo with Salmon Teriyaki, two pieces of Salmon, salad,rice, miso soup and we added Assorted Tempura, very good and shareable. The second dish we got was the beef teriyaki. This was a little disappointing. Ask to have the meet cooked a lot longer they a so the meat gets a little caramelization on the grill. Try Nagoya Sushi and support local businesses. read more

Nagoya's sushi trays have been my go-tos whenever I have friends over and I don't want to cook all the dishes. We tried their sushi rolls for lunch at the restaurant once first and were happy with their quality. Service was prompt as well. For sushi trays, you have to order through their website. I tried to order over phone but they referred me to the website instead. Their website wasn't the best and would only accept same day orders. You can call to change the date & time for pickup after placing an order, though. 10% off will be applied automatically. I like that they have quite a number of sushi tray options, and we have ordered different trays multiple times. Quality had been consistent, and they're always ready for pickup at the specified time. read more

One of the rare cases where the Yelp rating in reviews did not live up to expectations. Thought I'd try this as a neighborhood sushi option, and it was pretty average at best. The sushi was pretty sloppily made, the pieces were cut in different sizes and the rolls were partially falling apart. Overall flavor was OK. I tried the dragon roll in the tempura shrimp was kind of stale, which was disappointing. One bright spot was the quart roll, which was quite tasty and enjoyed the scallop on top. On the plus side, it is reasonably priced so an OK option. read more

This place is always delightful and pleasant atmosphere kind of small limited parking but worth the trouble and if you come early, look around you'll find parking. Alex is very customer oriented, respectful and very considerate to the customers needs food is outstanding price is very but very reasonable for that area. so if you're in the area and looking for a good place to spend your money in a place that cares about their customers and has good quality food make sure you visit this place and say hello to Alex. He's a very outstanding individual. read more

The taste and ingredients of the 3 rolls we had were good. Because all the rolls we ordered had unagi sauce, there was a sameness in taste, but the that was more a function of what we ordered. I would say the one area where I could see improvement is the size of the rolls. Usually these deluxe rolls that sell for $16-18 are larger in circumference and thicker sliced. These were more the size of a single or two ingredient roll, so it was actually fairly pricey for the amount of food involved. Service was very good, food came fast, decor was pretty standard as far as Japanese restaurants go. read more

My husband & i came to Nagoya for the 1st time tonight 8/28/2025. We ordered standards: tempura roll, kapa maki, avocado maki, tekka maki, CA. roll... all fresh, beautiful, full of flavor. Importantly, the rice is perfect, always a great start. The crispy tempura roll comes with unagi sauce & tiny orange eggs.. lovely! The kapa maki has crisp cucumber! Avocado maki w/perfectly ripe avocado. Tekka maki was fresh, sweet & tender tuna! CA. roll just the way we like it, fresh & balanced. We always start w/basics. Every delightful bite was completely satisfying. We'll be back, we'll tell friends. The staff was very friendly & welcoming, the place is spotless, small (seats about 24) convenient location. Prices are fair, a new neighborhood choice worth trying! Do yourself a flavor... see you there! P,S. even the tea was special, loose leaf, came in mesh bags. Altogether, a successful, delicious & satisfying experience! Thank you, Nagoya... ~~~Dee Dee & Mike We fully intended do take photos but the enchanting sight of all our favorites so was totally distracting, sorry. read more

Place says they close at 3pm. Was told I couldn't sit down at 2:25pm. Why do places do this? Just Update your hours.

This place is super small... total of 24 seats and parking can be difficult, but there is a large parking lot next to the location. Came in for dinner and was seated right away, this place is tiny. Think about a dive location, but food is decent. Started with hot tea because of their banner but didn't see it was just a tea bag, nothing special. Ordered mixed tempura to start, but not worth $12 as you don't get that much, but the battering was good. Also got the Musketeer, crazy, spicy hamachi, and California roll. All in all they were good, but the crazy roll and musketeer had too much sauce so couldn't taste all the flavors. California roll was good and made just got I would expect. I know that folks rave about this place and there were a ton of to go orders, but I also don't think there are a ton of options for sushi around this place. It's good, but nothing to write home about. This location used to be a sushi location, but never ate here or remember what it was called. read more

I wanted to love Nagoya Sushi and while I appreciate their hole-in-the-wall, local vibe, sadly the food left me wanting so much more. It was textbook mediocrity, with each dish being definitionally correct but lacking any of the charm or extra quality that would set it apart from anything else. The Chirashi Bowl was lackluster, complete with a suspiciously homogenous tamagoyaki and cuts of sashimi that failed to impress. The Agedashi Tofu appetizer came lacking many of the typical toppings such as grated daikon and bonito flakes, and was strangely separated from the dashi it is traditionally served in, which was instead presented as some kind of dipping sauce off to the side of the little pyramid of tofu. The low point of the meal had to be the beef teriyaki, which was thoroughly disappointing. Rather than being a thin steak, seared and coated with sauce as is typical for the dish, the meat was more akin to the shaved beef you might find as part of a broccoli beef dish in a Chinese restaurant. It felt cheap and low-quality, to say nothing of the visual presentation which left it looking like a pile of half-chewed meat on the corner of the plate. Avoid this if possible, especially given that it comes with an upcharge just to order it. As we left the restaurant the word that came most easily to mind was "fine". Everything (apart from that abomination of a beef teriyaki) was fine but nothing more. In a town and a region with easy access to high-quality seafood and sushi, "fine" just doesn't make the cut. read more

Honestly I've only been here once and I LOVED my experience. There's so many sushi spots in San Jose and this place blew my mind. Everything here was tasty, high quality, and reasonably priced. ROLLS: - OMG roll (4.5/5), Crazy roll (5/5), Musketeers roll (5/5), and Spicy Hamachi (4/5) - These were the popular rolls and my favorite has to be the Crazy Roll. It was delicious and I LOVED the seared salmon that was on top. The OMG and Crazy roll both had shrimp tempura, which was also good and flavorful - The rolls were on the bigger side and loaded. Though I dipped my sushi in soy sauce, it wasn't needed. For appetizers we got the Wakame salad (5/5) and the Agedashi Tofu (4/5). The salad was refreshing and slightly sweet. The Agedashi Tofu was fried well. Might be my new favorite sushi spot and will for sure come back. They also offer real wasabi, which I appreciate. The restaurant itself is tiny, so I don't recommend coming here with a large party. PRO TIP: they offer online ordering and this is how I found out which rolls were popular. This helped me figure out my order and I loved everything I got. read more

little hole in the wall sushi place, service is great and fish is always fresh we came here on a sunday night at 6pm and it wasn't too busy. while we were sitting, more people started to come in at 7pm. once they got a little busy, we were told that the orders would take a little longer since they only had one sushi chef preparing everything which is understandable since it's a small store. we were happy to wait :) 9 piece sashimi: 10/10 big slices and fish was fresh. i don't like albacore so he was able to give me hamachi instead of albacore. Crazy Roll and Musketeer Roll: 10/10 decent size rolls and yummy fish restaurant is clean and their sashimi is always fresh! staff is always helpful and friendly, the prices are reasonable, highly recommend. read more

Tldr; small parking lot, great staff/owner, awesome sushi, limited seating inside. A small business with new-ish owners, Nagoya Sushi is a cozy spot located on the corner of Bascom and Union Ave. I'd recommend going during non-peak hours for the best experience as their parking lot is part of a bigger plaza, but cordoned off, meaning spots can fill up. You can always park in the main plaza and walk over too! But, seating inside is good for maybe 12 customers at a time, though they aren't usually that busy.

Came here again for dinner, ordered 2 uni's, hamachi lovers, the Chirashi bowl and added hamachi collar later with beer. I enjoy the small mom and pop feel here and the prices are pretty good for quantity and quality. I still think the hamachi lovers has a bit too much sauce added. The uni was pretty good, the hamachi okay as well. We will prob be back! read more

I ordered takeout from Nagoya twice and both times my order was ready promptly (probably before) the promised time, and the sushi rolls were packed nicely and neatly with utensils, napkins and soy sauce included. Staff was super quick to greet when I walked in for pick up and found my order right away. I've tried one of their sushi platters, which came with an assortment of rolls -- all decent and tasty though nothing stood out, they all seemed pretty similar in taste. I also tried their scallop forever roll -- taste was fine, but the scallop didn't have any flavor (except all the sauce on top of it) by itself. The sea flower roll was light and refreshing, and the hamachi lover roll, well, was perfect for someone who loves hamachi. I liked the latter two more than baked scallop roll, so I'd definitely get those two again. Price was very reasonable for how much rolls typically cost (~$17 per roll). Parking in the lot can be tricky since it only has a handful of spots, and the interior of the restaurant is pretty small. I haven't dined in yet (only gotten taken out) so cannot speak to the dine-in service. Either way, they've been a solid spot to satisfy any sushi roll cravings! read more

Stay away! People who think sushi here is fresh and tasty are either extremely lucky or need to be admitted to a mental institution. We got the Nigiri combo and all pieces were super bland and tasted the same and on top of that, 3 were downright inedible due to being super tough and jaw breakers. Shrimp tempura was ok but nowhere near to bump up overall score to 2 stars which would be unfair. read more

This spot had the best reviews near me and I had to check it out. My first thought upon entering this restaurant was... wow this is tiny! I went here right when they opened so I was one of 2 groups at the restaurant to start. The service was prompt and water was refilled In a timely matter. The rolls of sushi arrived and the presentation 10/10. Taste 10/10. It almost felt the fish was fresh caught & cut before opening that day. As I'm enjoying my dinner more and more people showed up making it very noisy. My only issue with this place is the space. When I was ready to leave, I couldn't back my chair out without having the group behind me get up to let me out. Given I'm not a large person, this was a bit inconvenient to interrupt another tables dining experience just to get up out of my seat! Other than this small hiccup, 10/10 for this sushi Gem. read more

Nagoya Sushi - Spicy! - Japanese Near Me - San Jose, California

We found this place because it was listed on Mileage Dining... and so glad we did. It's one of our go-to spots now even though it is rather far from home (20-30 min). Small Japanese restaurant, but willing to take a reservation for 14! They split us across 2 tables - 6 and 8. It left a 4-person and 2-person table and 2 seats at the sushi bar for other patrons. The owners are great - they also speak Mandarin Chinese. My daughter's favorite is the gyoza... which we all admitted was very good and we had quite a few orders of it. The sashimi was delicious and fresh too. (They put up a sign when they have uni.) Their chicken katsu is better than most as well - a good light crunch to it. We enjoyed a lot of sushi rolls... see the photos for some :) ....doh, can only include 10 shots our deliciousness... you will just have to take my word for it that we enjoyed our sushi! read more

This is our first time here I've been wanting to try this place for a while. They only have about eight tables so it is small, but we were here on a Thursday night and no problem to sit and eat.

Don't overlook this hidden gem! It's a tiny little shop with only seven tables, but what they lack in size, they make up for with great quality fish, perfect portion sizes, and friendly & efficient staff. I stopped by for the first time this week when my go-to sushi spots were already closed for a late lunch, and was very pleasantly surprised by their high quality and delicious rolls and nigiri. I'm back again before the week is over because I just couldn't stay away. Definitely a new favorite sushi spot! read more

Stopped by on a Tuesday evening when we noticed that Oysy Sushi was no longer there. We found out that the previous owners retired. Service was quick and friendly. We were provided with paper menus and pencils to circle our choices. We ordered a sake recommended by our server and calamari tempura and hamachi carpaccio as appetizers. The calamari was perfectly fried and not chewy. The hamachi carpaccio was seasoned well. For mains, we ordered the Tonkatsu and Nagoya Secret Box. My husband said that the Tonkatsu was one of the most tender that he's ever tried. For the secret box, they were out of uni so they subbed in tuna and butterfish. The sashimi was thinly sliced and tasted super fresh. Overall it was a satisfying dish! We will definitely be back to try their other dishes! read more

This place was so good! It was my first time here. It is a very small place so it can't fit that many tables but there is some bar seats too. The parking is also a little scarce because it in a small plaza. We ordered the secret box, which had uni, scallops, imitation crab, and salmon over a bed of rice and white raddish noodles. We also got the lobster diablo roll (which is actually crawfish, rather than lobster), the French kiss (their version of a philly roll) and the white forrest roll, which had butterfish on it. We also got the hamachi carpaccio. The presentation on everything was very beautiful and all the fish tasted so fresh. I loved everything we ordered, and the service was good too.

The sushi was delicious and service was excellent. Overall very clean, a little small but it wasn't a problem.

Here for another review! We've been regulars for 6 months now. Reliable, delicious sushi. We love the service and it's always welcoming.

My fiancé and I decided to dine and try this new sushi joint because we were close by! There were just a few tables to dine in at and we actually enjoyed that it wasn't a loud busy joint like some other restaurants where it's basically like a screaming match. They had some larger to-go orders prepared so seems like a takeout place, but love the option to dine in! The owner(s) were very attentive to not only us but their takeout customers as well. I appreciated the check ins on the food and our waters! We ordered the Nagoya, Musketeer and Quart rolls. Soooo good! The quart roll was probably my favorite because not a places include scallop in their rolls. Definitely would come again! read more

First time. Got 3 Bento Boxes. Sold out of Salmon, so all got Chicken Teriyaki. Across the board, the chicken had very little flavor. Spicy tuna roll was small and warm b/c of how they stacked the take out box. Same with California roll. Very expensive for 3 sub par meals. read more
