    Party Tray A
    Maria L.

    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.

    Salmon Teriyaki

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Chirashi Bowl
    James M.

    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.

    Delicious, homey and very relaxing afternoon! Bf ended up ordering two crazy rolls! Love how it was simple but the fish was fresh and tasty Loved this tucked away spot

    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.

    crazy roll and musketeer roll

    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.

    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. Scallop Forever (Baked Roll) 9/10: Was craving a scallop-based dish and this one delivered. Savory, umami, and overall delicious.

    Hanachi lovers
    Annie K.

    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!

    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!

    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.

The menu is bigger than the other locations I've been to,…read morewith skewers, mazesoba, and even a cream soda special, so there are a lot more reasons to branch out beyond just ramen. I also have to shout out the cocktails because they were surprisingly creative - the hojicha Old Fashioned was stellar. Food-wise, I ordered the wagyu skewer and my usual Hakata Tonkotsu DX Ramen. The wagyu skewer is definitely pricey, but I thought it was worth it. Just a heads up that it's one skewer for $15, whereas the other skewer orders come with two. That said, the char on it was absolutely delicious and really made the dish. The Hakata Tonkotsu DX is still my go-to here. It's one of those tried and true bowls that always hits the spot. I haven't been to the San Francisco location in a while, but the DX version there used to be available in limited quantities each day. I didn't see any such warning at this location. Service was fantastic as well! The staff was attentive, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The atmosphere is also lovely, especially being right in the middle of the Pruneyard campus. Overall, an easy recommendation whether you're already a Marufuku fan or trying it for the first time.

It delivers great flavor, solid portions, and a wonderful dining atmosphere. The ramen is very good, with a rich, authentic flavor and decent serving size. Beyond the soup, the grilled hotate (scallops on a stick) are a delicious starter. Every dish looks incredibly aesthetic, making a visual treat as much as a culinary one. They had an intriguing limited-time special, a "soup-less" ramen called mazesoba. But we didn't try it. Maybe next time. Opting to eat in the covered outside seating is the best experience at this location. You are entirely out of direct sunlight while still catching a relaxing breeze and enjoy people-watching. The food came pretty fast, but some of the service was a little slow. Pro Tips: They frequently have limited-time menu rotations and test highly rated regional Japanese street-food styles that you won't find on the permanent menu.

    Oh! I am delightfully full! The rich umami broth really sets this place apart from others. What I…read morereally like about this place is that one may customize the menu depending on dietary concerns (vegan, lactose-free, shellfish allergens etc.), but however one customizes, the quality is fort-rate. Our party consisted of family and friends who had differing dietary concerns, but we were each able to eat delicious ramen without any worries. We started out with some appetizers - the Karaage Chicken and the Umami cucumber. The chicken had a nice crunch, yet the meat was juicy and tender! Nice! I appreciate the matcha salt that came with the chicken, as it added a little extra flavor to the chicken. And the umami cucumbers were joyfully crisp, with a slightly sweet soy sauce base, the sesame seeds and the bonito flakes on top adding to the umami. I ordered the Sukiyaki Beef Ramen - something unique, and it is not listed on the colorful poster on the door, nor was it listed on the menu card on the table. It caught my eye, though, when I ordered using the QR code. I felt like this was something on a secret menu or something . . . I was in heaven! The sukiyaki beef was tender and flavorful with that sukiyaki sweetness, and it perfectly balanced the saltiness of the broth. Oh, darn! I forgot to take a photo of the bowl of ramen!! Oops! Well, as I mentioned at the start of this review, I was delightfully full at the end, especially since I just could not leave perfectly delicious broth in the bowl. Good enough to drink as a soup! I must say, however, that when this place first opened, I was not impressed. And when I ate here two years ago, I was equally unimpressed. Today, however, I am blown away! Whatever they changed really is for the better. They have found their footing and Hinodeya Ramen Bar has matured into a wonderful place for ramen.

The restaurant is located in downtown Campbell and there's plenty of street and garage parking. The restaurant itself had very simple, clean, and modern feel and was very intimate. The menu changes daily based on what's available, and we had the choice to do family sharing style ($125/person) or al la carte. Since the menu wasn't super extensive, we decided to give family style a try so we didn't have to think about what to order and how much to order. The family sharing style came with 4 raw dishes, 4 starter/appetizer dishes, 3 main dishes, and 1 dessert. For our raw dishes round, I really enjoyed the salmon (with some type of chili oil), and the scallops with Chinese sausage. For the appetizer round, I really enjoyed the clam (although a bit small) and the potato chip with caviar (very creamy and flavorful). As for the main, I really enjoyed the cornbread although would say the ikura gets a bit covered up by the creamy sauce (although still incredibly delicious). We also got a short rib but I found it to be a bit heavy in the sauce and on the saltier side. The dessert was a chocolate peanut bar that felt like a very elevated snickers bar. Overall, food is pretty good even though on the pricier side and the service is excellent. This is definitely more of a special occasion kind of restaurant!

After the table behind us left, our waiter politely informed us that those guests had complained about the sound and asked if we could turn it down. My dad immediately lowered the volume without any issue. After that, we noticed the owner repeatedly looking at us and speaking to the waiter about the situation. Feeling uncomfortable, my dad asked if everything was okay. The owner's response was unexpectedly rude and confrontational. He aggressively told my dad to turn off the phone, even though the volume had already been lowered and my dad was complying. The interaction felt hostile and intimidating.

    Food: 8.8/10 on Beli Will come again!! Their sashimi salad…read moreis SO GOOD they give u sm high quality sashimi (sake, toro, and hamachi) and a lot of salad for $23.99!!!! It was the favorite dish for all four of us at the table. The crispy rice onigiri was also delicious but imo there wasn't enough filling. Service 10/10 We came in around 8pm and the waitress let us know that the kitchen is closing soon right when we were seated, we had enough time to order and they asked one more time before truly closing. We requested to move to the tatami after another party left and they were super nice about it!!! Ambiance: 7/10 It's a bit dark and slightly cramped, but i dont think it can be helped. Tatami experience 10/10!!One more thing - my friend said their prices haven't changed since she was little, she used to come w her family.

    It's been years since we've been here, but my cousin and his wife were visiting from an area of…read moreSoCal where they have little authentic Japanese food, and we remembered that this wasn't your typical Japanese place that has simplified bento boxes. We're glad we picked here to show them what the Bay Area can do in terms of more authentic Japanese food. The decor is traditional and not fancy, but comfortable and clean. The shishito peppers were really tasty, not too hot, pleasantly hot. Edamame was typical, nothing really special, but it's a bit difficult to really elevate edamame. The braised pork was good and the lean parts were easy to selectively eat. Nothing here is aggressively seasoned, but also not at all bland, so it's a good balance of flavorful but not overbearing. The grilled chicken wings were okay, but nothing outstanding or memorable - but simple and fine. Our "main" dishes, the deluxe meshi, nike tofu, and okonomiyaki were all great! Really enjoyed all of them and they were again flavorful, authentic tasting, and generous portions to share. Wish this were a little closer to where we live, but we enjoy coming here whenever we do and I recommend this for trying more traditional dishes when you want something different than simple teriyaki and sushi rolls.

    We were originally going to come here for the "all you can eat" lunch, which I guess has some…read morerestrictions and isn't a truly unrestricted all you can eat, but that's fine - we're not really gluttons at our age. But after weighing the price of the all-you-can-eat vs ordering exactly what we were craving a la carte, we decided to just order off the menu, which was the smart move since it was much less expensive and we ended up full. The place is casual and a little not-fancy decor or ambiance wise. You wouldn't bring anyone here you wanted to impress. . .but the food is what's important, right? The sushi was good! The rolls were large, the options were creative, and everything was tasty and met expectations. I wouldn't say it's elevated sushi, where there are layers to the flavors and you go "wow". But you get your sushi and see the portions are a good size and are happy that you get to dig in and eat satisfying sushi. I'd come back here again, especially for casual sushi where you want good value. Service was good as well - again, nothing fancy or overly attentive, but perfectly adequate for the level of restaurant. Also, it came pretty quickly, which was a plus as well (it wasn't that crowded when we went).

    3 of us came here for lunch on Saturday around noon. There're plenty of tables available inside and…read morewe got seated right away. Both decor and service were minimal. We grabbed the menus ourselves from a nearby table. We originally wanted to try their AYCE, but since the whole table had to participate, and one of us wasn't that hungry, we decided to order a la carte. We're glad we did. The 3 of us were already stuffed after sharing an appetizer and 4 signature rolls. The sweet potato tempura came out piping hot; the batter wasn't too thick. While the dipping sauce lacked flavor, the dish was still ok, and not too oily. We're impressed by the number of signature rolls they offered, and tried to pick something we hadn't seen at other sushi restaurants. My favorite was the lobster tail tempura that came with the Boujee rolls. It was tasty with a light batter. The plating was beautiful. The torched salmon, shrimp tempura and spicy tuna were good as well, but I didn't really see any real crab inside. The Skittles roll was pretty delicious, too. I liked that it had unagi, crab, tobiko, and avocado among other things. The Umami roll also had unagi and carb, but the salmon skin and bonito flakes were what made the roll special. My daughter didn't care for the salmon skin, though. The Black Mamba was interesting if you liked softshell crab. I didn't care for the macadamia nuts, though. Portion size was huge. However, their rolls weren't rolled very tightly nor cut evenly, and their rice was on the sweeter side as other Yelpers had mentioned. Since most of the rolls had similar sauces, they kind of tasted very similar, despite the different ingredients. I wouldn't mind coming back again to try other items on their menu when I'm in the area.
