“ I was expecting the rolls to be similar to the sizes of other places but I was in for a shock. All the rolls were huge . We ordered 8 things expecting to still be hungry but we were stuff and had 2 big take home boxes. The place is small and chill. Everything came out super fast. I think there were more sushi chefs than servers. ”

“ (SJ) Food: Monstar (9.6/10)-Deep fried shrimp, crab meat, spicy tuna, fresh water eel, covered with fried seabass,topped with spicy poki salad. The name absolutely fits what it is. It is way bigger than it looks on the picture. I could not finish it by myself. Thinner rice content which I like because you can really taste the diverse ingredients on the place. It has a nice crunch from the friend shrimp which added texture to its size. Flavor is there. don't really need to add soy sauce. I just wish it had a little bit more spice which is my only critique Setting: for a small venue I like the set up. You can see the chefs making your meal and some of the ingredients are out for display. Indoor only Service: great service for it being very busy. We were seated quickly though. Our server was attentive and we got our requests immediately Price: it is expensive but worth it for the quality Parking: not a lot of parking at the actual spot so you most likely have to park at the neighboring stores ”

“ My favorite sushi spot in San José! I love that the rolls are sooo good and they do not overprice their food. We have tried probably half of the rolls at this point and the 3 top favorites are the: 49er Roll - Lemony and amazing if you love the taste of salmon. Allen Roll - Saucy and has a smoky flavor to it. Koya Roll - Saucy and comforting. For appetizers, I recommend their veggie tempura, shrimp tempura and their gyoza. The staff is ALWAYS friendly, kind, and super helpful. We've never had a bad experience here. The restaurant itself is cozy, but super comforting. Parking may be a little hard if you come on a Saturday night for dinner, but we never mind waiting. ”

“ Back here again to celebrate end of the year, we ordered our favorite roll, Garlic Roll, and tried some new dishes. Beef teriyaki bento, tempura and CA roll: 4/5 Big portion enough for two people sharing. Tempura was crunchy on the outside and moist inside. The beef was kinda chewy and overcooked. Shio Saba dinner special: 5/5 No words can describe this magnificient dish!!! San Jose Deep Fried Roll 3/5 Not really a fan of this one. Each slice was so big that it was soggy inside after being deep fried. Also it was supposed to have cream cheese but I barely could taste it. The roll itself was just so bland. Service was good as always, really attentive even though the store was super busy. The store was recently renovated (I guess), with new paint and decoration. Now it looks well-lit and has more Japanese Izakaya vibe. ”

“ If I'm craving sushi I go here! My go to order is the 49er roll which is a lemon salmon roll! The staff is super polite and works fast to get you your order. With complimentary miso soup, the rolls are delicious and reasonably priced. I love coming to Koya for the holidays because they decorate the restaurant with lights. ”

“ This has been one of our go to places for sushi and bento boxes in the area for more than 5 years. The quality has been consistent throughout these years and the food is fresh and delicious. ”

“ Arrived for dinner (around 7PM) and my partner and I were sat right away. Parking here is limited so make sure you give yourself extra time to figure out parking situations! Service was very fast and our server was super kind. One downside was that my entree came out way too early, even before the appetizer, and my partner's food came out last when I was already done with my meal. However, bright side is that the reviews are right: portions are HUGE here! Be careful to not over order because they do not skimp out. The time our food dropped on the table wasn't the biggest deal but I know it may bother some people. Sushi was incredibly fresh and filling! & the bento boxes are beautifully presented and hefty. ”

“ The good: This was delicious! It's a new favorite. My family had a craving for sushi today but the place we normally order from was closed so we got to try this amazing spot. We ordered to go ahead online and tried a variety of different specialty rolls and sashimi. The sashimi options were plentiful and varied a lot. The fish was fresh. I tried herring in herring roe for the first time and that blew my mind. It was crunchy and sweet and not at all what I expected it to be. It wasn't fishy at all. The presentation was beautiful. The rolls each had unique flavors that differed from one another. I liked the rolls with fresh lemon and seared smoky flavors. My toddler enjoyed the sticky ikura. Their menu offered tons of options. Everyone in my family enjoyed the meal. The bad: It's pricey but that's understandable. There was a bit of a wait for our pickup order. The interesting: The exterior looks like an old Taco Bell or Mexican food spot. ”

“ Located adjacent to the McDonalds, the parking lot here sucks! It's crammed and doesn't have enough spots to support the restaurant. When you walk in, it gives off taco bravo vibes with orange brick walls. I was skeptical, I'm not going to lie.... But we've had a few people recommend this place so we sat down. The pace is fast here and the employees were really nice but also very busy. Sushi was good and the portions were large. Sushi and sashimi tasted fresh, tempura was on point, and their salad dressing is delicious. Everything we had was really yummy, only thing I would skip next time is dancing albacore. Nothing wrong with it, just didn't love the mix of the albacore on top of crab meat. Overall, solid sushi spot. Can't wait to come back and try more. ”
