    The few times I've dined here, it's always been good service and delicious sushi. Most recently I ordered a roll and the chef's selection and the hamachi was buttery soft (not pictured). I also bring my kids as one enjoys vegetarian "sushi" and the other finds something to eat like noodles. Would recommend this sushi joint tucked away in a nondescript shopping center.

    Really good experience here. Small, simple little sushi spot with exceptional service. All of the servers were incredibly friendly and attentive. Good was good & fast and the presentation was nice. I would skip the beef teriyaki, was super tough meat to chew.

    Sushi Jae deserves to be way busier than they are! We visited on a Tuesday evening and were the only customers inside during our meal. The chefs were busy nearly the whole time however, apparently preparing online orders. Still, the service was friendly and rolls came out quickly. Our server mentioned that they are much busier on weekends but I was still surprised with how empty they were at dinner time on a weekday. It must be because the outside appearance makes it seem like a hole in the wall despite that they're able to accommodate a decent amount of diners inside. The fish was fresh and every roll was well-prepared. As far as sushi goes, the pricing was about what you can expect in San Jose, not a great value but not too bad either. I can definitely recommend this place to satisfy a sushi craving.

    Was craving sushi on a Friday evening and stumbled across Sushi Jae! We started with their agedashi tofu, which was solid. We got Mango Crazy, Super Paradise, and Spider rolls. Their rolls seem to be smaller than rolls at other restaurants. The Mango Crazy and Super Paradise rolls were alright, nothing too special about them. The Spider roll was yummy; I loved the soft-shell crab. Service was good and attentive.

    I forgot to take more photos.. we additionally ordered mixed tempura and sushi/sashimi combo. 3.5 stars** The service here is top tier and always made sure you had everything you need. I used to come here a lot during my college days back in 2016-2018. I don't live around the area, but the food was always good here. As most reviews noted- the portion is definitely smaller here compared to other sushi places. I definitely agree! However, the fish here is super fresh and my all time favorite is the lion king roll here. We also wanted to add additional a la carte toro, chu toro or uni... waitress said they were all out of it... :(

    Ordered online for takeout, and the food wasn't ready when we got there because it was fairly busy in the restaurant. The staff was very kind and communicative, and offered tea and water while we waited. Took a little under 10 minutes for the order to come out. The sushi wasn't the best I've ever had, but certainly not the worst! The raw fish was decent, and the specialty rolls are unique, especially the Super Rainbow Roll. Portions are a little small, but we were satisfied. I didn't get a picture of the udon, but we got that too and it was piping hot and delicious! I would definitely come back to try more, and am impressed by the customer service.

    The food was super tasty and great! The staff's service was amazing! The staff were super attentive and friendly and were able to accommodate our party of 6 very well. The restaurant is super well lit and is the perfect place to have a family dinner or hang out with a group of friends. Special shout out to Sang Woo who gave us amazing service!

    I've been here twice so far with my family. Last time we came here was a few days ago for a birthday celebration where we ordered: Spider Roll (5/5) Rainbow Roll 2x (5/5) Super Rainbow Roll (5/5) --The deep fried scallops were sweet and tender, and the crunch contrasted well with the roll. Unanimously the best roll of the night. Super Paradise Roll (5/5) -- Mom ordered this, but subbed the spicy tuna for regular tuna and sauce on the side. It definitely needs the sauce or the roll is too dry. Orange Blossom Roll (5/5) -- Didn't try, but my brother enjoyed it. Fire Crunch Roll (4/5) --Tasted strongly of wasabi, so every other ingredient is overpowered by this. The sweet potato crunch also didn't really add anything to the roll. Unagi Don (3.5/5) --Similar to any other place that offers unagi don. Healthy portion, but sauce was too sweet. Chicken Teriyaki Don (3.5/5) --^^ Chirashi (5/5) Sashimi Combo (5/5) Staff were friendly, patient, and accommodating. Go for the sushi, nothing else. Only downside is that the portions are on the smaller side.

    Simple menu.

Spotting a delicious-looking sashimi plate at the next seat made me eager to try their sushi. The menu featured a wide variety of dishes, including sushi rolls, soups, and specialty plates. Still, I found myself not fully in the mood, likely because I was disappointed about Flaming Ox. I ordered a dragon roll and, craving California rolls, decided to get two. My daughter chose the chicken teriyaki plate and really enjoyed it. The sushi was so fresh that I saved my extra California rolls for lunch the next day. I'd definitely return to try more of their beautiful rolls or sashimi plates. Service was decent overall. We waited a bit to place our order, but the food arrived promptly. There was a moment when our server took a while to return, and I grew so thirsty I almost went searching for him myself. Fortunately, another server noticed and quickly brought me water. I'm glad I discovered this restaurant in the same shopping strip as Flaming Ox. It was odd that one side of the strip lost power while the other remained unaffected.

For the price, it felt like a great value and was a very filling meal. I also ordered deep-fried oysters. They were tasty and cooked well although no dipping sauce was provided so I ended up just using soy sauce instead. One thing I noticed is that the value doesn't seem to carry over to delivery. When I looked at DoorDash, the bento box listed there didn't include the potstickers or California rolls. Ordering directly through the restaurant's website to get the full meal added about $12 in extra fees which made it much less appealing. Overall, the food was good and the in-person pricing felt reasonable. I'd happily dine here again but if you're considering delivery, be aware that you'll pay significantly more and may not get the same meal options.

    This is my forever favorite Japanese sushi restaurant. I am been here since open till now, once or…read moretwice a week. The quality and atmosphere are always the same as 1st time experience. I had a tour to Japan last March, I traveled from Osaka to Tokyo. I was impressed that the traditional sushi section here in this restaurant compared to Japan is not different. Far from the original, they have their own special rolls which are satisfied other style of appetite. I've been telling that the Japanese never put sauce or anything other than fish in their maki. However, the non-Japanese create sauce and ingredients to make maki more favor. As more as you know about the history of Japanese sushi, the more you respect the head chef here. I am been trying a lot of Japanese sushi restaurant and find myself this place. I strongly recommended Poki salad, Toro on the rock, Sashimi Sampler and salmon belly fusion nigiri. Don't judge what people say, experience it yourself.

Unfortunately, the sashimi was by far the worst I've ever been served at a restaurant. The fish appeared discolored, old, and slimy. When we asked our server what types of fish were included, we were told tori, salmon, albacore, yet the almost every piece (minus the salmon) had a brownish-gray appearance that was extremely unappetizing. I'm not sure if we happened to receive the last of their inventory for the week, but serving fish in that condition at full price ($60) is kind of crazy. Some of the sashimi looked comparable to raw pork that had been sitting out, which was honestly concerning. The sushi rolls were also disappointing. They were very average, with flavors and quality that reminded me of grocery store sushi. Nothing stood out or justified the price point. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. I was especially let down because this restaurant came highly recommended by a family member who has dined here multiple times and always had positive experiences. To make matters worse, I developed stomach discomfort within about 15 minutes of leaving the restaurant. I had been looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations.
