I'm not sure how this place got 4.5 stars but I've given them several tries, both dining in and take out and each time is a disappointment. As many other reviewers mentioned, the portion of their items especially the rolls are ridiculously tiny with the amount they charge. Each rolls is almost $20 after tax and it's probably half the size of other restaurants serve. I'll probably need to eat 4 rolls before I feel remotely full and I'm a woman, ridiculous!! And their food are not even good so there is nothing to justify for the high price. Stay away unless you like to be ripped off! read more

Super small portions, you get in Japanese size but pay is dollars :( The sushi itself was flavorful. One $15 roll is 2/3 size of other sushi joints. The rolls are tiny! I don't think I am Ordering again especially because I get the same quality food but better filling portions are other sushi joints. read more

Sushi Jae is on Meridian and Branham, across the street from Branham High School in the same center as Milohas, Chevron, & Petco. My friend and I met up for lunch on a Saturday when they opened at noon. Sushi Jae doesn't look like a traditional sushi restaurant. The layout and furniture look more like a sandwich shop, but that's okay. Just don't expect to sit at a sushi bar. Sushi Jae is another Korean-owned restaurant. You can tell by the name and see the influence in the menu, including Korean short ribs. I give props to Sushi Jae on the design of their menu. For all of their sushi rolls, they clearly list what is on the inside and outside of the roll. That was helpful as I compared descriptions to decide what to order. We had a friendly and accommodating young waiter. He answered our questions and was able to customize my friend's bento box preferences, even though the combination of items he wanted weren't regular options on the menu. Two items I always order to compare to other Japanese restaurants is karaage chicken and salmon nigiri. I also tried their Caterpillar roll, which was supposed to have crab, unagi, avocado, & tobiko with a sweet sauce. My friend enjoyed his bento with tempura and sashimi, although I could tell just by looking at it that the tempura was overcooked. I had to ask about the Caterpillar roll, as there was only tobiko on one piece. The waiter told us it was supposed to be like that to imitate the appearance of a caterpillar. Other than that, the roll had plenty of avocado. The chicken karaage was really strange. They were like little pieces of battered chicken nuggets. The best part of my meal was the salmon nigiri. I would say the food we tried was just 3 1/2 stars, but since we had such good service, I would come back and try other things. read more

Outstanding service and food. Always up to standards. I particularly like their fried scallop dish.

Dined on weeknight. Service was prompt. Orange blossom roll was yummy, yellowtail sushi very fresh and tasty, spicy scallop roll not very spicy, then a large special roll that I cannot remember the name of, but had several types of fish...it was good, not fantastic, but I think one of the ingredients just set it off from being great for me....onions? Crunchy topping? Either way, I'll be back. The pricing was also reasonable. read more

I had the worse Japanese food here. Not 10 minutes after leaving, my abdomen is cramping up. Fish had an off taste, I took a bite of each nigiri and refused to eat the rest of it. I just hope that my kiddo and husband will be alright, they ate more raw fish than I. I'll post a full review later, right now I have to lay in bed. Now getting the chills!!! read more

Unfortunately, another disappointing sushi experience. We had high hopes for this spot, but the rolls were beyond tiny and incredibly expensive for the mediocre fish and tiny portions. I'd expect a roll that costs about $20 to have some flavor and to have atleast a respectable amount of fish - this had neither. We had 4-5 signature rolls between 2 of us, and we were still hungry when we were done. Normally I'm quite full when I go anywhere else. Bummer. Won't be going back. read more

How would I start, I'm eating at jae sushi for over four years some visit I used to dine in and some were to-go orders . Due to the Covid for long time it was to-go only and after such a long time is great to get back dine in and see the same crew . Food is always fresh and there is no surprise that it will taste different from the previous time. That is the place to go and eat great food and the best service. read more

Sushi Jae - Fried Ice Cream mmmm... - Japanese Near Me - San Jose, California

This is a go to spot for sushi! The food is great, and the rolls are crafted beautifully. Must try!

Very attentive wait service. The two of us got 3 specialty rolls and edamame, tab came out to $70. Felt it was too pricy for a neighborhood sushi joint, but I guess the price of everything's gone up. All 3 rolls were saucy and delicious. Still, I'd rather do Sushi Koya for the price. read more

I got take out from Sushi Jae and I was very pleased with the pickup process and the portioning of the dishes. They provided enough ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce and they had labeled everything (veggie vs non-veg). I think I'll be back to try out the restaurant in person soon. read more

My wife and I learned about this place from a Japanese friend of ours. The sushi here is fantastic! High quality fish and friendly staff!

More of a 3.5. Long story short: I could see Sushi Jade being a great place to visit if you live in a nearby neighborhood or are picking up food after your pet's vet visit, but it wouldn't be the first place I'd recommend otherwise. We ordered takeout from SJ recently after seeing it featured on a Yelp sushi round up. It was the only place on the list we hadn't tried, and it had great ratings. Overall, the sushi was pretty average. I got the climax roll and the mango roll that has salmon (Can't remember the name). My partner got the philly and the Adam Bomb. We also got a green salad and the agedashi tofu. The climax roll was not great. I think deep fried rolls are not suited for to-go orders, so keep that in mind. It was soggy and the wasabi sauce overpowered all the other tastes. The mango roll was okay. It was boxed with the Adam Bomb and thus tasted strongly of jalapeño. Not my favorite taste. I was surprised by how much of that flavor transferred just from sharing a box. The taste of the roll otherwise was just fine. My partner said the Adam Bomb and Philly rolls were average. The agedashi tofu was pretty bland, but my partner enjoyed it. The salad dressing was awesome! I wish I could get it in a bottle. Overall, probably won't return unless I happen to be nearby, but a solid neighborhood joint, probably, if you know what to order. read more

A hidden gem in Cambrian Park, Sushi Jae is a relative newcomer to the scene. Dishes are beautifully presented, and customers can't go wrong with the fun, locally named signature rolls, such as the Branham Lane and South San Jose rolls. The Tako Karaage ($8.5), Spicy Edamame ($5.5) and Ngiri deluxe plate ($23.95) were the highlights of our meal. Friendly service and reasonable prices have made this my family's go-to spot for sushi in the South San José area. Make sure to get the Tempura Green Tea ice cream ($6.5) for a tasty finish to your meal. read more

Glad to know this place is still open for take out during Shelter in place! I tried the Avo-Cucumber, Natto, and Yamagobo rolls. All of the rolls we're presented very nicely in the to go box with separators, soy sauce, wasabi and ginger all included! The Avo-Cucumber was definitely my favorite roll. So fresh and yummy! Happy to see lots of vegan/veggie options on their menu. Next time I'll have to try the Vegetarian Rainbow! read more

We went there several time and it was consistently good: the Sushi is fresh and service is kind and fast. Additionally the owner is the chef

The food and service are really good. The dishes also look very nice. The place is very clean and neat. The portions of the food are very small. It's a little expensive vs. other Japanese restaurant. read more

I've heard a lot of buzz about this place and finally came to check it out. Came in around 6PM on Fri night got seated right away in the bar area. Service was great, brought my appetizers (Gyoza & California Roll) promptly. I also ordered Teriyaki Chicken entree which came with salad and Miso soup. It was all delicious ! Waiter and staff was attentive and appreciated them giving me extra container of Teriyaki sauce for my left-overs. Will come back again for sure. Next time I'll be sure to order extra Teriyaki sauce, it was very good! read more

Sushi Jae - a plate of sushi with chopsticks - Japanese Near Me - San Jose, California

Place had some pretty good reviews so we stopped by on a Saturday for lunch. Plenty of parking in the plaza, and there was no wait around noon when they opened Got the Tako karage + the Spider Monkey roll and Dragonbow roll. Portion sizes were abysmal, which is why this place gets a 3 star. Everything tasted great, but for the price things were ($9 for the karage, $14-15 per roll), the portion sizes were about half as much as similar sushi places I've been to. Our whole meal took about 25 minutes and we went to go find second lunch afterwards Good service, good food....snack portions read more

The best sushi place in Cambrian park. It's in a very awkward location between a pet store and a car parts shop, but don't be fooled! It's absolutely delicious. The sushi chef is using excellent fish and sets up the dishes with art. We tried a lot of fish dishes and rolls, I highly recommend coming hungry ! read more

Sushi Jae - Dragon Bow roll... stunning!! - Japanese Near Me - San Jose, California

Ordered takeout from Sushi Jae while I was in town for work. I was very impressed all around with the service and food. I ordered an appetizer, 2 signature rolls, and a basic roll, and it only took 15 minutes. I walked in and each employee greeted me with a smile, including the sushi chef. My order was ready and they had me out the door as soon as possible. I'm always a little worried how takeout sushi will be packaged and if it'll make the drive home but these guys have it perfected. I had a large box with all the rolls organized neatly and presented like I would see in their dining room. I started with the spicy edamame because of the countless mentions it has on Yelp. They were very tasty without too much spice, which was perfect. The rolls I tried were the Mad Dragon Roll, Something Special Roll, and a spicy tuna basic roll. The Mad Dragon roll was my favorite of the three. Everything about it made me want more. The something special Roll was flavorful but I wasn't a huge fan of the sweet and mango sauces. The spicy tuna roll was a smaller basic roll but it was fresh and flavorful with a kick. Overall, if I lived in the area, I would be hitting this little place up frequently. The atmosphere inside is small and quiet which is perfect. The takeout worked perfectly for my night in and I couldn't be happier. read more

Sushi Jaeeeee! Asian fusion? Japanese & Korean Ordered: - Pork Belly Mushroom $7.95 - Poki Salad $13.95 - Hamachi $5.25 - Sake $4.95 - Yakitori $5.95 Tina's Tabloid and Travels - From the years I've lived in San Jose, I've never been this way to notice this sushi joint; therefore, I would say I haven't traveled too far... Hahahah! - Didn't know this place is closed for lunch on Monday and Tuesdays. - Some of their plates were not quite clean, I had to switch out a plate - Employees were nice and friendly - The day I went the place was fairly empty, only about 4-5 tables, but the establishment is small itself. - Items ordered were fairly priced, but nothing special to me. - I don't know if I would go back since it's not convenient, but worth a try! read more

We love this neighborhood sushi restaurant! Hands down, the best sushi and best service we've received lately. Enjoy your meal here! read more

Good neighborhood sushi place. Ordered spicy Chirashi, the chef came by to explain what's in it and this is more Korean style, and I could mix it up if I wanted. Good amount of fish. Even though there was a single waiter, she was really efficient and kept an eye on the customers. There is more seating than you would think, it is quite spacious inside. It's in a corner mall and there is plenty parking. read more

Have ordered take outs several times and this place has been consistent and good. Every time I go to pick up the food; it's a bit empty though. As you enter, it's a wall that lightly blocks the privacy of the restaurant. Head right and it'll open up to the seating area and the sushi bar in front. Korean owned, but they have great rolls and the price is good. Always got their salmon sashimi. They also have futomaki. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant and had a fantastic meal. The food is delicious delicious and the service fantastic.

Came on my radar from a trusted source and confidant who knows his stuff. And boy did he deliver!! Sushi Jae thus far is my favorite San Jose institution in the Willow Glen/Cambrian area. The rice is perfectly cooked and the fish is deliciously fresh. The menu is quite far reaching with plenty of popular standbys as well as some really delicious sounding unique items. The ratios are perfect and the restaurant is small. My favorite item so far was the vegetable tempura roll and the Philadelphia roll. Great service too. Will be back!! read more

Not a decent sushi joint in the neighborhood, so was extremely excited to see Sushi Jae open and get good reviews. It took me awhile, but finally got a chance to come on Saturday lunch with the folks. It's fairly small, and it would be nice if they upgraded the chairs and tables from the Italian restaurant. Server was very attentive, and I really like how they have lunch bentos on weekends for the same price as weekdays. I ordered the agedashi tofu and paradise roll, my mom ordered the MAD roll, and my dad got a 3 item bento. The tea was lukewarm and when we asked for hotter tea, he brought the same lukewarm tea out. The agedashi tofu was really good, fried perfectly. My paradise roll was tasty, and the MAD roll had a nice punch. The bento was okay, for a croquette, you only get one cut in half and it was good. Tempura was nicely fried, not overly battered. The salmon teriyaki was doused in too much sauce though. Overall, a good experience and will be back for some more sushi. read more

Open on Tuesday for dinner, so we were able to celebrate a birthday. My kids loved the children's bento boxes and the rest of us chose various sushi. The menu has a large selection, so all of us can get what we would like or try something new. The staff was very helpful. Thank you for the birthday fried ice cream! Everything was fresh and delicious! We look forward to our next visit! read more

Service is friendly. Sushi is average. Expensive for what you get. They have reduced significantly as well as increased their prices. For example the fish on their nigiri is literally half what it used to be. read more

I really didn't want to give it a good review because I don't want to have to fight crowds! Lol... But we loved this place so much how could I not. We were looking for a new sushi house because our regular one had become too busy and worst of of all they stopped serving my favorite dish. I found Sushi Jae through yelp and it sounded like our kind of place as it was described as a "whole in the wall" type. Omg I am so glad we tried it. Everything was so good! From the fresh plump edamame to the Japanese Nachos (my favorite) to the unagi don, to the baked scallops and everything else in between. Ohhhh and the tempura fried green tea ice cream...did I say tempura fried? YES!!! And let me not forget service! It was so friendly and efficient and extremely helpful when I asked for advice. It's our new sushi house and we will be back. Again and again and again.... read more

Tried Sushi Jae tonight and it did not disappoint. Ordered three specialty rolls, tempura prawns, edamame and gyoza and everything was delish! The Branham roll was my favorite. Ordered online and when we picked it up everyone was so friendly and the order was ready to go! Can't wait to go back! Thank you Sushi Jae! read more

A great spot for a sushi date night! They have some of the freshest sushi in the bay area. We got the chirashi bowl which came with a beautiful assortment of fish over a bed of rice. For rolls, the flaming sushi roll is a must get (looks great, tastes amazing). The service was spot on and we had such an enjoyable experience here! Would definitely come back. read more

I've been coming here for 3 years now and this is my favorite sushi spot. Staff has been super friendly and helpful every time I've been here. The food is excellent, the restaurant is always clean, staff gives you the best service. I'd give them more than 5 starts if I could. When you stop by be sure to try the baked scallop roll it's amazing. read more

There's several sushi places around this area, but this one really stands out! A lot of appetizers and roll options to choose from. We've been going to Sushi Jae for years and we're always coming back. It's truly our favorite sushi restaurant: excellent food and excellent service! read more

it's a 3.5 stars. I rate it 4 for because we need this kind of small a local restaurant around here and they deserve to be known. This business recently opened in my neighborhood. The staff seems Korean. The sushi bar ain't open yet (October 2016). It's definitely not the most fancy place to have sushi but small local business should be promoted and should keep on existing, especially when they serve more than decent food like Sushi Jae does. The food is very well presented. Portions are large and offer unbeatable deals for lunches! A bento box will cost you less than $10 and will keep you full fro the rest of the day (see my pictures) Do try the Japanese nachos, it was excellent, fine delicate well seasoned and very different form what I usually see and get in Japanese restaurants. I haven't tried the sashimi (my coworkers did and there were no complaints about it), I'll return and update my review! read more

Amazing neighborhood restaurant. I've been here twice and each time I got the nabeyaki udon and a few sushi rolls. Everything is delicious including their starter salad (the dressing is bomb), but their udon is phenomenal!! The flavor of the soup, everything that comes inside the soup is delicious. It comes in a small metal pot that keeps the soup hot for a while, which also makes it better! All the staff are very kind and attentive. There's not too many restaurants that I'd want to come back to because I like trying new places, but if I'm ever craving udon I am coming right back here instead of bothering to look up another place! read more
