Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Japantown, San Jose

Kevin T. • July 26, 2019Back patio is dog friendly

Zakk D. • August 15, 2011Cheap, good sushi right in the heart of Japantown. The Paradise Roll is great and cannot be missed!

Elden P. • August 18, 2014The serving size here is huge. More than enough for two people to share. Which works out because you can add up to two flavors, just in case you both want something different.

Rei Alexandra A. • January 6, 2016Great Japanese comfort food. I love the counter. Don't forget the specials in Whiteboard.

Maddy C. • March 5, 2017Awesome quality and good value. I had 3 pieces for $5. And they are so delicious. I'd be back every week if they were not that far.

Kevin P. • March 18, 2014The house coffee featured is roasted by Verve. The Buena Vista roast has a smokey aroma and the full bodied flavor of this dark roast is balanced by a sweet yet mellow coconut grace tone.

ANVl 2. • November 4, 2014Small authentic restaurant in Japantown. Good choice of food. I like ikura nigiri and 49 roll (a little bit spicy roll). Friendly service. Free miso soup - good bonus..)))

Jinnie L. • November 7, 2014we had yummy soft serve vanilla ice cream cone n the oreo twister here last night after dinner at Gombei :) they were delicious!

Jayden C. • May 29, 2017Ask for the Toro (fatty tuna). It's the best sushi over there by far. Also the tai and salmon skin are delicious. I totally recommend it.

Rachelle • January 6, 2013If you love spicy and ahi tuna I suggest getting the spicy ahi tuna bowl..DELICIOUS!!

Shilpi T. • June 3, 2012Yummiest restaurant in Japantown!

Mike B. • December 8, 2017We visit for Mexican desayuno (breakfast). My go to dish is their machaca or chorizo & eggs. Mexican food in Japantown, what’s not to like?

Vicki T. • April 17, 2023My all time fave poke place! Super fresh ingredients and unique combos. Definitely makes me feel like I'm in Hawaii.

Nicki L. • May 14, 2017Wow! Perfect crunchy skin kurobuta! (baby size Japanese sausage - tastes like hot dog and chicken apple with smoothness of polish) at Sat around 5pm. Never had sausage skin crackled so perfectly!

iPeedOnMyTV • November 8, 2010Try the Bacon & Beef Bacon & Egg Cheeseburger. It's delish!

Ron E. • April 4, 2010Try the Peach Roll. They've also got the best Salmon (sake) and Yellowtail (hamachi) in Japantown.

Buttercup D. • October 4, 2010An institution, and the best karaoke bar in the southbay. Go early for a table. Otherwise, it's standing room only, but well worth it! Great fun!
