i don't know about sushi because most of the places i've been to are alright, but gombei and minato are bomb for bento boxes. i usually head out to kitsho in cupertino for sushi, freshest in san jose for sure.
i would try.... japan town,(downtown sj) this place called zakai or something... i was eatin there last night when the quake happend haha the power went out so we had a candle light diner
I checked out kazoos the other night. It was pretty good for the price. I was surprised by how cheap all the rolls were. I wasnt totally satisfied but id give it a 6.5-7 our of 10. I thought it was funny how they were really japanese over there. These dope spots i go to in oakland & alameda are both owned by koreans. If you guys are ever in the east bay for some sushi check out Mijori on Grand or Sushi House in Alameda
