Sushi Koya

The server was so kind even if we came in a bit late. No sign of attitude at all. They’re located in an awkward area, so parking is a bit of a challenge which is easily covered by the parking lot over by McDonald’s. Hot tea was free! Miso soup is delish and BBQ mussels has a slightly different taste than what I usually get from other sushi places. My tempura shrimp and vegetables was perfectly crispy. Reached over to try a roll off of my son’s plate and it was fresh as it can be. I will order my go to saba dinner plate next time because yes, I’ll be coming back here whenever I crave a Japanese meal.

Pros: very nice and attentive staff, good selection of food (classic, cooked, veggie, special), nice atmosphere, good sized rolls Cons: restroom is outside the restaurant, flaming dragon was way too greasy and sauced that is not expected or pleasant for sushi rolls. Flaming dragon came with no sides if wasabi or ginger Tip: you can ask for less sauce inside/on the flaming dragon. I learned it at the end!

My favorite local place. The service here is always top notch. I am always greeted with a warm hello and free hot Miso soup. The Sashimi is always the best available and well bled. Bento boxes are a meal for two in my opinion. The Hamachi Kama is the best I have ever had. Try the Dancing Albacore! I just wish they had oysters. 😏

This place is such a hidden gem for getting sushi in the Bay Area! Unlike the other sushi restaurants nearby, Sushi Koya has short wait time, amazing pricing, large portions, and fresh ingredients! In particular, we really enjoyed the chirashi and the sashimi. They’re delightfully delicious, especially the herring with roe. On the other hand, we’ve also tried the sushi rolls and thought they were mediocre.
