me and m family have been going here for the past 8 years?? consistent quality and exceptional service. great recommendations from waiters that always HIT THE SPOT. giving us extra ginger/wasabi + constant water refills without question. our go to order is a katsu chicken curry w rice, a baked salmon roll, a roll with raw fish (rainbow, storm bringer, cherry blossom) regardless ALL THE ROLLE are phenomenal!! i haven't had a SINGLE BAD DISH HERE. the appetizer okonomiyaki is also crispy and sauced up perfectly! ordered a drink of hot tea always ties the experience id argue that it's the BEST SUSHI in all of the bay. i'm going for as long as it stays open. u can also sit counter top and watch the chefs prepare fresh rolls read more

When I'm in the mood for some takeout sushi, Sen Dai Sushi comes to mind. Their rolls are quite delicious and satisfies the sushi roll cravings. We ordered the Cherry Blossom Roll, Mizuno Roll, Dragon Roll, and Alaska Roll. All the rolls were tasty and were a good size. read more

Another quick take out order last night. Fast, efficient food prep and accurate pickup times. Best to have 2 people in the car re: pickup/takeout because the tiny, narrow parking space lot is tough to even find a space! Driver double parks in the tiny lot and the passenger runs in for the pickup. Prices continue to rise but its modern times... everything is going up in price these days! Ugh! Huge beautiful presentation and quantity as usual. They changed up the Kaatsu re: flavor, presentation and added a huge fried egg and furikake Bonita flake bed of rice. It wasn't what we expected and didn't care for it too much since we had been ordering this for years and now it's different! Ugh! Also had some nigiri sushi and delightful, simple and clean futomaki. We love Sen Dai but likely won't be ordering Kaatsu again. Bummer! :0( read more

Not very good. Spicy tuna is tasteless. Shrimp tempura is ok but nothing special. Won't be returning

I have been going to Sen Dai for years and I'm never disappointed. It has always been consistently good. I had the toro, rainbow roll, baked salmon roll. The toro here is super tender and it melts your mouth. The rainbow and salmon rolls were super fresh and is very good size. Service is always good, everyone is very nice. Ambiance is ok, place is pretty cramped. This place is the best sushi place in the South Bay. If you want big size sushi and at a affordable price, you have to come here! read more

MILPITAS STAPLE!! Parking lot is horrendous (very limited) but you could get lucky since people leave often. There's almost always a wait so go early to put your name down!! Your full party needs to be present to be seated. The inside is no frills, good amount of tables. Don't expect a super traditional sushi experience but their rolls are yummy, massive, and at a great price!! Very good value!!!! Came here for a birthday dinner and they're nice about putting your cake in the fridge and providing extra plates/forks too (: read more

Sushi with high-quality ingredients and above average portions. The Train roll was unique and delicious, a nice acidic punch. The Dragon roll had classic flavors. The Baked Salmon roll was oddly saltier (we tasted excessive soy sauce) and had less mayo than the Lion King rolls we're used to. The one thing they excelled in is their efficient operation and attentive servers, which resulted in a very quick turnaround time. But, even with that said, the volume of people waiting made it so that we had to wait 30-40 min for a table read more

Fresh rolls, good service and very reasonable prices! Small place, but their service is quick and efficient. read more

Food: very big portion, especially the amount of rice. The rolls are very nice and you can ask for deep fry with $3. They have more special house rolls on the last page of the menu. It took us some time to figure what to order as they offer tons of options and they all seem very delicious just like what we ordered. Service: the staff is a bit busy and asks for extra fee for a warm water...not sure if this is for real. Ambiance: dimmed light and pretty crowded. Wouldn't recommend for a big group to dine in. read more

Have been here several times over the years but have never written a review. Parking is really limited, so I always go right before they open at 11:30. There were a few people waiting already. Food has always been excellent, and it did not disappoint at my recent visit. The two of us shared a Hawaiian Poke Salad appetizer, had an Alaska roll and a Philadelphia roll, also had Sake and O-Toro sashimi, and Unagi Nigiri. The fish was really fresh and delicious. The seasoning on the poke was really nice and tasty. Service was average but sufficient. Food came out rather quickly. The ambience is kind of basic and pretty dark. The good food and reasonable prices make up for it. read more

Food is good and sushi rolls and sashimi are generous in portions. Service is average and not too attentive as they try to turn over the tables quickly. read more

Pleasantly surprised how AMAZING their curry is!!! Even better than the places that "specialize" in this dish! Large generous portions, very fair prices! Overall still the best Japanese restaurant in the area read more

I always get a roll or bento box but this time I got a tonkatsu curry. It did not disappoint. It was flavorful with a hint of mild spice. The rice was cooked perfectly and the tonkotsu had a nice crisp and wasn't dry. It would be nice if they had provided fukujinzuke, add another texture to the dish. The serving was huge, enough for two people. read more

Sen Dai Sushi - Take out tonkotsu curry - Japanese Near Me - Milpitas, California

I loved most of the cuts of sashimi. The quality isn't that great but it still tasted good. We don't normally eat rolls but we got a few and it was very enjoyable. I liked the salmon avalanche and the eel one (not raw). The sushi rice tasted like regular white rice but it was still soft so I didn't mind. The service was great, our servers were very attentive with the water, ginger/wasabi, and everything else. The restaurant is small in my opinion, but we sat in the corner by the wall though so no one was pushing around us. I had a great experience. read more

Sen Dai Sushi - Chefs choice 20pc Sashimi Combo - Japanese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Summary: Rolls are well balanced and the large buttery cuts of fish make the rolls very satisfying to eat. Tempura is also fried well, just wish there were more bite sized pieces Food: Lemon drop roll with no wasabi sauce 5/5 Thick salmon slices, crunchy tempura inside. Great portion sizes. Tempura bento 5/5 Comes with miso soup, salad, cucumber seaweed salad, seasoned bean sprouts and a small mountain of perfectly crunchy tempura. I do wish some of the vegetables were cut thinner or smaller..bitesized preferable. For example, it was hard to eat the broccoli because it happened to be an incredibly large piece of broccoli. While it was perfectly fried, the size detracted from the eating experience but that's just personal preference. Storm Bringer Roll 5/5 The soft shell crab was fried perfectly and the roll was LOADED WITH TOPPINGS. The roll didn't feel greasy which lots of fried rolls tend to be and the sashimi on top were also thick cuts. Service: EXTREMELY FAST. They have the service down to a science. Ambiance: The ambiance feels like you're trapped in a pocket of time. You don't see any glimpse of the outside, only the Japanese decorated environment. Every server is moving at a quick past so you may feel pressure to eat faster and faster. This place is a good spot for a quick lunch or dinner but not necessarily place to sit and chat for a while. There's also a $1 charge for hot water. read more

Sen Dai Sushi has been a solid sushi spot in Milpitas for a long time. I still remember when the restaurant was only half the size it is now. I recently came here again with friends and the place is still pretty good- fresh fish, good service, and the place is fairly clean. I can't say this is my favorite sushi spot, but it's definitely one that's better than most. I'm giving them 4/5 stars because I'm not sure when the rolls got so huge, but they were a little hard to eat and fell apart a lot. Also, the servers we had were incredibly fast; orders were taken and food was served quick but they all lacked any real warmth or personality. I appreciated the efficiency, but it felt a little too rushed. read more

Perfect spot to pick up lunch. I got so much sushi for under $15. I love getting the combo of cali rolls and spicy tuna rolls. They're always fresh! I also like their rainbow roll with the yummy sashimi on top. read more

Wow! The quality of the sashimi is unmatched. Plus the portions were HUGE, so the prices were definitely reasonable. We had a party of three and the 20 pc sashimi roll + 3 rolls really filled us up. We honestly could've been satisfied with two instead of three rolls. Service was quick and the place is not the most fancy, but their food is definitely delicious. read more

I was visiting the bay and heavily craving sushi. A close friend of my recommended this local sushi spot in Milpitas different from my usual sushi spots in the bay and this place is definitely a bang for your buck My friend and I got a Mixed Chirashi bowl($35) and Mizuno roll($15.50) to go on DoorDash and almost could not finish it all. Their rolls come with 8 thick cut pieces. The Mizuno contains deep fried shrimp, avocado roll topped with tuna, salmon and spicy sauce with tobiko. I loved how the tempura shrimp was perfectly fried and still crispy in the role paired with the creamy avocado. The chirashi came with thick inch cuts of salmon, tuna, albacore, avocado, and yellowtail. They also pack on the rice so you definitely won't be hungry. The fish cuts were super fresh and the quality was great for the price and quantity. I would definitely come back and try other menu items! read more

Always our go to place for over 15years if we were in the area and wanted sushi. Maintained great taste and fresh sushi all these years. Service is very good and quick; promptly seated, ordered and food came out fairly quick considering its full house. I also saw non stop pick up and door dashers. Chefs were all busy non stop from 5:30 pm on. Tables are a little tight where you often catch eye contact with the table next to you and you know exactly what each other are having for dinner. Love the size, value and quality of their sushi. Dinner set was good if you are looking for cook items, we also had fried oysters and bake scallops roll mixing them in with raw stuff. Two adults 2 teens walking out satisfied. read more

Let's talk about how fresh all the fish was! It was incredible and melt in your mouth, the photos don't do this place any justice. We arrived a little before the dinner rush but the dinning area small and intimate for those looking for a place to have a good meal. The bar had a lot of seating and we were lucky to snatch the last bar seats before the queue started. The service was very attentive and watching the sushi masters doing their thing was awesome. The portions of each roll was packed with fish. read more

SenDai Sushi isn't going to blow your mind with premium cuts, but they've got some pretty fun rolls that hit the spot when you're craving sushi without breaking the bank. Service was prompt and consistent. No music, just the hum of casual conversation which was nice. The fish portions are actually pretty generous - maybe too generous, since they slice everything a bit thick for my taste (part of the art of sushi is in those precise, delicate cuts). Still, the flavors work well together in their specialty rolls, and while it's not the freshest fish in town, it's totally decent quality that gets the job done. Solid spot for a casual sushi fix if you're in the neighborhood read more

Tldr good food for good value Ever since coming back from Japan it's been hard to eat Japanese food because everything here is 2-5x more expensive than it would have been. It just felt really difficult to justify spending so much money on mid food that I just stopped for a while. A friend took me to Sen Dai and it's been a comfort pick for me ever since. I usually stick with ordering sushi be cause it's what I miss the most. Sen Dai isn't the most amazing food I have ever had but it's been the most satisfying for the prices that they are charging. Its just very solid and stable quality for reasonable prices. I like to order the unagi roll and the salmon roll. It always fills me up more than I expect and it's good value. It's usually pretty busy no matter what day I go so I try to go a bit earlier for dinner (around 6) and can get seated pretty quickly. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Yesterday was my first time at Sundi sushi I work at one of the hotels nearby and we always see and read good reviews about it for the guest that are craving sushi so me and some of my coworkers decided to go out and try it. It was a bit busy for Friday night, but we stuck around and waited. Everything was so good. I have the fried chicken Bento box that sweet chili sauce and some tempura was so good. I will be back may even be my new spot. read more

Great portions of high quality sushi! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, especially the baked rolls. Even the appetizers come in big portions. I've been here a few times now and the staff has been always been kind and attentive. The only downside is the location. It's extremely hard to find parking so I'd suggest coming here during the weekday if you can. read more

SOOO GOOD!!! First time here and their fish is FRESH!!! Got seated quickly for 2 people around 6:30pm on a Wed. They were busy though! Their Sen Dai special topping rolls 8pcs were big and filling. We devoured the: - Mizuno roll - Lemondrop roll - In the Sea roll Also ordered their vegetable tempura and they came in big pieces and very hot just the way it should be! We ordered 2 pieces of maguro (nigiri) and it was so good. Our server was friendly and helped us navigate through their many roll options. Plenty of water refills and they come through taking empty plates off your table. I think we just found our NEW SUSHI place in the South Bay!!! read more

Came here for party on a busy Sunday. We sat immediately and ordered 3 bento boxes, 1 sake combo, and 1 sashimi combos. Everything was worth the price as it was filling and had large quantities. Tempura add on for $3 is a great deal. The sashimi combo was large pieces and plenty of radish. I was filled up and very happy and so was our party. The bentos full of meat as well and the sake combo was huge with lots of rice and big piece salmon. Definitely coming back read more

Sen Dai Sushi - O O-TORO Nigiri - Japanese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Sen dai has been my family's go to sushi spot for years! Even though prices have gone up, the quality has always stayed consistent. The wait can get pretty long but their online ordering system is super convenient. The sushi is always ready before the estimated pick up time and they send you a text so you know to come pick it up. The tuna and salmon sashami, dragon roll, and garlic edamame are my favorites. -1 star because the rolls occasionally have too much rice and are cut disproportionately, making some pieces huge. read more

This is a review for their side of fresh wasabi for the wasabi peeps out there, I believe there is a good amount of fresh wasabi in it but it is definitely mixed with horseradish. I don't know how to quantify the mix, but the texture of ground wasabi is present and the strong "spicy-minty" flavor of horseradish is present read more

This is my first time coming to this sushi place. Me and my partner ordered a nigiri mix (9 pieces), a rainbow roll, and a storm brainer roll. We love all of them. The nigiri fish is fresh and thick. Both of the rolls have decent proportions and taste good and prices are fair ! We especially like the rainbow rolls because they put all fish on top instead of avocado ( which most of the sushi restaurants do nowadays) The food was served fast and staffs are friendly. Overall, a very good dinning experience. Definitely will come back again ! read more

This place totally gives classic sushi stop energy - think I've found a new go-to in the South Bay! The rolls here, though pricy, are GIGANTIC and generously packed. The quality of fish here was pretty good too. Visited on a weekday dinner and was met without a wait fortunately. Their parking lot can be pretty tight and I can imagine it getting busy/crowded on weekends. It seems like this place is popular for takeout orders since we saw a number of people going in and out just for pick up. I really enjoyed the rockstar roll! Came packed with salmon, unagi, crab, etc. with a lemon and macadamia nuts on top. I thought the lemon was a refreshing touch that balanced out the savoriness of the other fillings/toppings. I ended up liking the macadamia nuts more than I expected too, since it added nice texture. The sashimi here was fresh and our rolls came out quickly! They'd be great for large groups/parties. Service was friendly and prompt too. read more

Came here last night for dinner around 6:30pm! It is located in a small run down plaza with limited parking, so I recommend that you carpool or come earlier for parking. We got lucky that we were sat down right away for a party of 3. It was busy since it was a Friday night, but our food came out SO FAST! Inside of the restaurant was a bit dark, and could use some more lighting. But the tables were pretty near each other that I could hear the next table's conversation. I didn't mind that much since I'm here for food anyway. Their rolls are hella huge, especially the spider roll one! That one is like double, or maybe triple the size of what a "regular" sushi roll piece would be. The deep friend crab(?) was huge too and was sticking out. Really lived up to it's name of spider roll lol. We also got the tempura roll, daniel roll (both are super similar in terms of looks so just pick one.), crunch roll, and the orgasmic roll. My friends don't like raw fish so I ended up eating some of the fish from the chirashi bowl and took the rest home to eat for the next day. The cuts for the fish were enormous too and was fresh. It was not fishy at all. I believe it's salmon, tuna, and i forgot what the other fish was...... but for $30 i think it's decent. I have had better but you come here for the value. Overall, great first experience. Come here if you on a budget and want to be full after a couple things! (: read more

Sen Dai Sushi was pretty crowded when we came. I ate dinner at an earlier time around 6pm, and thankfully the wait was only 5 minutes. There were parties waiting outside after I finished, so I recommend going early to avoid a wait. The inside isn't too big, but clean and simple. The waiters were really friendly and helpful to us. We got chicken karaage as an appetizer and it was very tasty and crispy. We ordered the 30 pc sashimi combo which was split between 3 people. It came with two rice and two miso soups. I loved the sashimi. It is hard to find good sashimi in the area. Their sashimi was very with they gave thick slices. read more
