Food was just ok. Prices at the bar are high for what you get. $5 for jello. $5 for 3 slices of california or 3 put stickers. Atmosphere got better from what it used to be but prices are unjustifiable for the quality and quantity of food you get.
I never really find many sushi boat restaurants anymore (but a similar concept is being spread with kura with their conveyor system), but this one in south san jose is still one if the traditional sushi boat restaurants you'd find in the mid 2000's to mid 2010's! You can choose to sit around the sushi boats or sit at a booth as you wish. Like all other sushi boat restaurants, you grab little plates of sushi and depending on the plate it was served on, that was the price. Prices of sushi on the boats ranged from $4.30 to $10. On a lunch day like this, not too many sushi were on the boats unfortunately... maybe it might be more popular at dinner or weekends.
If the sushis on the boat dont appeal too well, there are many more options available through their huge menu! There are teriyaki plates to bento boxes to even a unique burrito sushi roll style dish! I ordered a bento box and the beef tasted pretty good minus the sauce which felt flat. It came with soup and salad and rice as well as a orange and dumpling! The main highlight of the bento box though was the tempura! It was really crispy and well breaded and fried! I loved the sauce it came with as well! $20
Service was very minimal and most interaction i had was just the payment as soon as i was done. But the place seemed to be well staffed and got around to anyone needing refills, etc.
Overall it was a pretty good experience! Although the bento box kinda felt a little overpriced...

This is a Japanese restaurant with thick sashimi. The jalapeno fried boom menu is unique and delicious. Boat flow system and Tempura,Fried ice cream,is fun too.
Best testament I can give about this place as I missed being able to go there. But in the past used to enjoy going here at least once a month for lunch. A nice simple bento box or something always made for a good lunch. Definitely worth giving this place a try.
Went here for dinner and it was really good. The tempura ice cream was amazing. Love the vibe and the staff was nice. Their fried gyoza is really good. You can really get a good variety of sushi at the bar.
Take-out order. Great food and good portions. Had the unaju dinner plate, but was a little disappointed w/ its preparation; I'm use to seeing a full unagi fillet over the rice, but in this case, looks like they use the cuts used in the unagi rolls- spread out over the rice . If I knew that, I would of ordered a different dish. They have a hugh selection of rolls to choose from price can go from ~$7-$10 for the simple rolls to $20+ for the more elaborate ones. Will be back to explore their other dishes
Prices are up significantly post COVID and due to inflation. It's been awhile since we've been here. The food has always been consistent. It's very good. Service at the table was not great as we had to go find the server even when we were ready to pay. It wasn't busy at the time either. We had a party of 16.
