Akita Gourmet - Santa Clara

Not bad for a place where non-Asians make sushi! The combo plate was good but I wish it came with miso soup and salad. Also I wish this place had beer. My only other complaint is that they played worship music the whole time. Overall I think it’s good sushi but for the portions, atmosphere, and options- I’ll go somewhere else.

Great sushi spot right by campus! The indoor seating is there with a few tables and a bar that seats about 5-6 people. They were friendly and the service was fast! I will be making this a more regular place on my list. I had the lion king and the rainbow roll and both were good, and also really big size! Price was very reasonable as well!

We’ve ordered from this place some nice and tasty rolls last year. So today we decided to order again because we where hosting. Omg the worst sushi rolls ever!!!!I have to say that I was very very disappointed.The avocado was black, the fish was old and everything tasted like it was made 5 days ago.I’m sorry but I can’t recommend this place anymore. Our diner was disgusting and end up throwing everything away plus our money out of the window ?

I believe gas station sushi has better texture on the rice. My plate of California rolls smelled like grease, the rice was wet. Miso soup was cold, I didn’t even touch my food scared of getting food poisoning. I threw my food away and went to another restaurant.

I love coming here to get a deluxe sashimi plate before my final exams. The food is usually great with no issues. On my most recent visit, however, the guy at the register forgot the side of rice and the extra side of soup I ordered (just giving me the fish). When I told him he forgot both, he began to give me a hard time about it and had to check the order ticket for the kitchen before conceding that he forgot half the order. I would typically let this slide except there was nobody there, I was the last person that ordered, and he gave me a difficult time. If I'm going to splurge $30 before an exam the next day, I don't need any added stress. I will return, but I am also considering other options if this happens again.
