I didn't expect Gilroy to have good sushi. I met up with a few friends for lunch here and had a really good experience The wait stop was awesome and the sushi was delicious believe it was the Gilroy world that really won me over. read more

Tried a few times during Covid and the food has definitely been better we remember. Actually really impressed this big lunch we got between a few of us. Giants roll- great, will order again Crunch shrimp roll- also good, ordering again Lucky balls- yum, great sauce too. Deep fried 49er- good not the best, not the same like other places but would probably still order again. Dynamite scallop roll- bomb! Nice and melted goodness. Poke bowl- huge, we shared between 2 of us but very good. Did half rice/ half salad read more

Totally disappointing experience. The ownership has changed and it shows. The place looks like a dump. The waitress misunderstood our order and gave us 5 plates of sashimi instead of 5 pieces. They did not have the decency to adjust the bill for their error. The sushi, sashimi, teriyaki and nigiri were tasteless. We have been dining at this restaurant for more than a decade. Needless to say, we will never return! read more

The food was excellent. I will definitely come back. The service was also very good. It was timely and very hospitable. The restaurant was also very clean. read more

WOW! Finally a sushi spot open until 8:30pm. Walked in. Greeted quickly. Told to sit anywhere. Given a menu. A+ service. The servers are all teenagers, but someone trained them WELL. Very attentive. Not one was on their phone at any time (I was there almost 2 hours). Liked the music. A lot of Sublime and music in the genre. Ordered the edamame. I ordered regular since the garlic was way to much for one person. The regular was as well. A bit under cooked and asked for salt. I brought most home to add sesame oil. Chardonnay came in a glass that was already cold. $5.99 a glass. Since I got there at 1:45, still in time for the lunch bento box. Bento box has 2 items to choose. I LOVE you can pick specialty rolls as an option. Chicken Katsu was burnt. Came on a tray with white rice and teriyaki sauce (I think). I thought it would come with curry sauce. Got my salad to go (I knew I wouldn't be able to eat it at the time). Came with dressing on the side. Also had some veggies on the lettuce. I went for a special roll for my second choice. LOBSTER BISQUE ROLL. Get it. I normally would do a scallop one, but had to try something new. This one doesn't have mayonnaise like other places. More of a cheese mixture. I also have always wanted a sushi place where you can make your own roll. YOU CAN DO THAT HERE! My bill was $46. I brought home FOUR togo boxes. Brought home one with a full piece or chicken and the rest of the rice. The next was edamame. Small one with the salad. Small box for the other pieces of sushi left over. read more

Had a great lunch with my wife here. I had the sashimi salad and my wife had the pokey. Both were well portion and we left very satisfied.

The staff is super friendly, happy to accommodate my special requests without any issues, and my take out orders are always ready to pick up at or before the projected time. I come here regularly and will keep doing so :) read more

I ordered a roll and a poke bowl for takeout. The rice in the roll was dry. The fish in the bowl was inconsistent and chewy, one piece still had a lot of skin on it, another was mostly tendon. It seemed like my poke bowl got the scrappy pieces. I will not be returning. read more

The Giants Roll, Pepperfin Roll, and the Gilroy Spicy Garlic Edamame were the BEST! Super yummy! read more

Awesome sushi choices as well as tasting great. Worth the expense as they do tend to be on the larger size. Bento boxes are great as well as service. Been coming here for years and still awesome! read more

This place is "OK" for being one of the limited sushi places in Gilroy. I was here for work and came here for lunch. It was busy but since it was just myself, I dined at the sushi bar. They had a variety of different rolls and lunch specials. The rolls looked overwhelming so I decided to play it safe and go with something simple. I ordered sake nigiri and the Matrix Roll. The prices are reasonable even for Omakase. Food came quick and service was okay. I wasn't really impressed with the roll but the sake nigiri was good. I'd give this place another chance and would try something else on their menu if I'm back in the area working. read more

This was such a delight. Outside of having to wait more than ten minutes, this was a wonderful experience. The meal started off with their delicious house salad. The dressing was perfect and the size of the salad was a lot larger than other Japanese restaurant's starter salad. Crunchy Scallop roll was my favorite. The inside was a creamy avocado crab mixture with a tempura crunch on the outside with a balsamic sauce. Their chicken teriyaki is different. They add vegetables, likely zucchini, in their chicken teriyaki. It doesn't come with much chicken, but I didn't mind because the flavor was really nice. Here's What I Think... I will be back and next time I will make a reservation. read more

Total: ~$85 incl. tip Table for 2 w/ 2 dogs, outdoor seating was accommodated Came here on a very hot day looking for good sushi. I have to say that it was decent for the price and the service was a tad slow. We were sat outside and the tables weren't cleaned very well and my expectations were low. Spicy garlic (Gilroy) Edamame - The edamame itself is pretty good but the proportion size is way too large in my opinion. Best split between 3-4 people. Dragon balls - probably my favorite dish. It's a little hefty on the sauce which I don't mind. The filling was nice and I've never had something like this before. Safe to say the rest of my dishes were underwhelming. My gf got a hot cheeto roll she didn't finish and I had a bento box with nigiri that wasn't as fresh as I hoped and the roll itself was a softshell crab filling with tuna and salmon on top. The fish was a disappointment and I gave most of it to my dogs, so nothing went to waste. The miso soup that came with the dish was pretty standard so there was nothing I could complain about with that. Overall, if and when I do end up coming again, I'm definitely avoiding the fresh fish. Their cooked and fried entrees are pretty good and wouldn't mind ordering them again. read more

Went here again and got their sashimi instead of the americanized rolls - some of the most unfreshest fish i eaten - felt sick after!

Lemme be honest here. Deciding between a 3-star and a 4-star rating was more difficult than I thought but I had to be realistic on all my experiences. So I've​ summed it up accordingly for your viewing pleasure. 1) Location: This place is located directly across the Target parking lot, kitty-corner​ to Barnes and Noble and Lane Bryant. Parking is ample most times of the day, even weekends. 2) Service: This place is literally always busy. I have gone mostly in the late afternoon to early evening time frames, and I swear they're always slammed. With that being said, the service here is a little lax​. Good luck flagging someone down for refills or extras of anything once they've taken your order, and anytime before the food or check comes. It's my main pet peeve, ​to be honest. But, realistically it is hit or miss. It all depends on who's working, and how many other overtly demanding customers are in the restaurant​ as well. 3) Menu / Prices: As an avid seafood lover and a self-named connaisseur​ of sushi, this place is as good as it gets--for the area, that is. Many different sushi combinations are available here and include soup and bento boxes as well as the typical tempura and edamame. You definitely get what you pay for, so it's a fair trade. 4) Cleanliness: This place is pretty clean. 95% of the time, your table is wiped-off and set before you are seated, but that's not always the case. There isn't​ a lot of junk on the floor and although the dining area is crowded from time to time, you are still able to get around without too much hassle. The bathrooms are located in the back of the restaurant and are bit small but again, 95% of the time stocked with the appropriate paper towels and T.P. 5) Come back, or nah?: Gilroy and Hollister don't have quite the selection of restaurants​ that you may come to appreciate if you've come from a big city. But if you have a sushi-related craving to crank out... this is your place. I know that going into it, that my experience is dependent on a flip of a coin and what luck I have with service... but the food is really good.. and the portions are adequate. So yes, I do see myself coming back in from time to time and I'd​ recommend stopping in if you are in the area. read more

When we went there, the boy who directed us where to sit was very tired looking. After my husband pulled out my chair, I grabbed both sides by my legs, which were grossly sticky. Disgusting! Now, the same boy that had directed us to sit down came to take our drink order. I was brung room temperature tea. My husband asked if we could get hot tea. She went and put the cup in the microwave. We also waited 20 minutes for our food that was awful. Please don't go here! read more

The sushi in my opinion wasn't bad. It was fresh and the roll size was just right. Service was good. The restaurant was clean but very cold, we had to keep our jackets on the whole time. read more

Sorry but I have to do this. After many years of being a loyal customer today's experience is inexcusable. I tried to place an order as I regularly do and the staff that answered the phone could not take down a simple three item order. I repeated myself multiple times and still the staff could not get the order correct. One staff member said that it's because their business phone did not work, I fail to see how that is somehow my fault, I recommended that the staff alert management to this issue. I tried calling again 4th time and spoke with the manager who again was of no help, supposedly this was a known issue according to the manager on duty but yet it hasn't been fixed, couldn't even speakers to the manager with the terrible service. Well I'm sorry your business is struggling with proper phone service but if it's a known issue that hasn't been address that's no excuse to put customers through that experience. I will take my money elsewhere, plenty of other sushi restaurants in gilroy with working phone service read more

First time at a sushi place in Gilroy. Sushi was just right and the service was exceptional. Alissa did a great job taking care of us! Will definitely be back and will be letting folks know of this place! read more

First time in on friend's recommendation. Friendly lunch hour greeting and seated immediately . Andru G. our Server was polite and very attentive, food arrived promptly. Poke bowl was a fresh generous portion of deliciousness. The Spicy Tuna and Crunch Shrimp rolls were large and super tasty. More than enough food for the two of us :). Next time I'm trying the $9.99 lunch special Bento Box, looked very yummy as it passed by my table. read more

Great sushi with a lot of options! I love that you can build your own roll. The staff are really friendly and provide wonderful service.

I tried to give this place another shot today. Last time was about 5 years ago probably (and we live in the area). We ordered Tempura Udon and Chicken Katsu dinner entree. First of all, my udon came delivered by doordash already in with the the soup. Mistake #1. If you're packaging any noodle soup, it's probably a good idea to serve them separately (if you care at all about customer satisfaction). By the time I got to eat it, the noodles were super soggy. Mistake #2: udon soup was overpowered by the 50 broccoli and zucchini's they put in there (joking aside, maybe it was 1 zucchini but you get the point). Mistake #3: serving the tempura in a closed styrofoam container with no vent holes. So you could imagine how sad and wilted my tempura looked. The chicken katsu was ok - a bit of a hard crisp to it but overall manageable. Oh yes, there was no tempura or Katsu sauce included. I don't think we will try here again. read more

Open during the pandemic with outdoor seating in a nice shaded patio. We started with a spicy tuna roll and it was prepared with Sriracha wasn't expecting that. It was different wouldn't get it again. We both had their lunch Bentos with chicken Terikaki. Wasn't fond of the teriyaki sauce as it was predominantly soy sauce, not really Terikaki sauce. It's not a traditional preparation either. It's more like a stir fry with veggies, zucchini, broccoli and onions. The side salad that came with the Bento was large and tasty, excellent. The tempura was crispy, big serving very good. The California roll was packed with fresh Crab also a big serving, excellent. Overall this place is good and we'd come back to try other things. Excellent service read more

I placed an order online directly through their website and the website said my order would be ready in 35-45 minutes. This was no problem, as I had planned ahead to take care of some other things before picking up dinner. I ran an errand beforehand, but still arrived about 10 minutes early of my pickup time. I decided to go up and ask if my order was ready even though I hadn't gotten any messages about it. Luckily, it was ready so I didn't have to wait at all. Service was courteous and quick. I ordered two rolls and seaweed salad to share with my husband. The seaweed salad is standard, nothing exciting there. For the rolls we got the Giants roll and the 49ers roll. Of the two, we liked the Giants roll more. The combination of spicy mayo and unagi sauce is always a winner in my book. The fish tasted fresh and the portions were great - there was plenty of fish in the rolls. I also liked that the rolls were cut into half inch slices. Some sushi places cut rolls so big you can't eat it in one bite, so I really appreciate that this place cuts them small enough to eat properly. We will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

This is the worst sushi I have ever had in Monterey and Santa Cruz county combined. Ambiance is cool and seems like a nice place to hang out. Staff was friendly but the food, no. We spent $80+ dollars and left a lot left over. read more

Came here with the kids. Staff was friendly and the wait was not that bad. Our seating area was in the back, which feels roomy and better than the front. We ordered the Gilroy Garlic Edamame and they were good, they had a sweet teriyaki sauce. Even our kids enjoyed them. Boys ordered teriyaki chicken which they said was really good. I had a salmon bento box. I liked that under the salmon was a bed of zucchini and some broccoli in sauce that was not as sweet as teriyaki but had a faint sweetness. We also ordered a Poke bowl, it was big and aside from the fact that my husband forgot to say no ginger and because of that he said it was OK. He said if he would had said no ginger it would have been good. Kid friendly place. Has TV's and a full bar. read more

Terrible. We ordered through Door Dash. Over an hour after waiting for our order, "Gabby" calls us and asks if we have received it. We told her we had not and that the dasher is still there waiting for it. She says they made the order and it is no longer there but that she will take care of it. A few minutes later she calls again and tells us to cancel the order on our end and then resubmit it so she can rush the remake. My husband told her he didn't want to do that and she insisted that we had to or they couldn't remake it. Of course the minute he cancels it, the restaurant is now "closed" on door dash and he cannot submit a new order. She has no solution for us except to submit a phone order and drive across town ourselves to get it. We asked to speak to a manager and "Gabby" claimed the owner was too busy in the kitchen to speak to us but would "call us back". I'm sure we won't hear anything. We used to love this place but this was a terrible experience and we are left trying to figure out what to eat now that everything is closed on door dash. read more
