"we had 10 course omesaks for 3 and were on a hightop in the middle of the bar area, which is very brightly illuminated and honestly quite unpleasant. we booked the lounge. the food was enough from a few really good bites to some who were unusable. favorite first, the smoked blue fin was exceptional, served in a smoke-filled hole, it had a great texture and taste, very well toned and presented, and it is rare to see blue fin more. my personal favorite was the skallop and aubergine, which was unexpected and beautifully balanced. the fat tuna trio was fun to contrast the various cuts. the Swedish salmon rolled around mango and jalapeños was my honorable mention; the first roll, plucked vegetables, was light and a good start; the garnelen nigiri was served with his head and a dramatic fan of fried rice paper and enjoyed by the table. I was disappointed by the boston oysters (painted as petrol and not well balanced. we got 2 and ate only 1 we have eaten thousands of oysters and actually felt bad not to eat them, but they were not good,) the wagyu was very gristy (I actually went to the bathroom to spit out. it was practically a disc silver skin. very disappointing,) and the last seafood stew felt compelled and was harmless spicy (my man loves spicy.) the mochi ice creams for dessert were confusing (1 banane, 2 mango, 3 strawberry) and did not go with the rest of the experience. it was difficult to hear the foods to explain, not because it was too loud, but they spoke very soft. I have always asked to repeat them, and only learned that the tuna trio was a comparison of the cuts because I asked. I don't think I'm going back. we spent $450 and didn't think it would suit the value of the offers"

"The Salmon Don was like butter. You’d be hard pressed to find a better cut of salmon. It’s marbled with fat and always spectacular! The soft shell crab roll was a bit too creamy. Overpowering. Simply add some fresh ginger and wasabi to elevate to acceptable. Love atmosphere and ambiance at Blu Fish! Great for date night! Looking forward to reviewing more dishes!"

"I never really find many sushi boat restaurants anymore (but a similar concept is being spread with kura with their conveyor system), but this one in south san jose is still one if the traditional sushi boat restaurants you'd find in the mid 2000's to mid 2010's! You can choose to sit around the sushi boats or sit at a booth as you wish. Like all other sushi boat restaurants, you grab little plates of sushi and depending on the plate it was served on, that was the price. Prices of sushi on the boats ranged from $4.30 to $10. On a lunch day like this, not too many sushi were on the boats unfortunately... maybe it might be more popular at dinner or weekends.If the sushis on the boat dont appeal too well, there are many more options available through their huge menu! There are teriyaki plates to bento boxes to even a unique burrito sushi roll style dish! I ordered a bento box and the beef tasted pretty good minus the sauce which felt flat. It came with soup and salad and rice as well as a orange and dumpling! The main highlight of the bento box though was the tempura! It was really crispy and well breaded and fried! I loved the sauce it came with as well! $20Service was very minimal and most interaction i had was just the payment as soon as i was done. But the place seemed to be well staffed and got around to anyone needing refills, etc.Overall it was a pretty good experience! Although the bento box kinda felt a little overpriced..."

"Ordered delivery from here through GrubHub on 3 occasions. The first time, my food came more than 45min late and GrubHub offered to refund me. The 2nd time, the delivery driver assigned to my order declined it and I received a message that the order had been cancelled. Today I decided to give the restaurant a 3rd try, with the hopes that I can finally try their sushi. My food arrived but smelled HORRIBLY of cigarette smoke. It was the most disgusting experience. I sent GrubHub a message they refunded me. Then- several hours later, I received a text on my personal cellphone from ‘Brian from Wasabi’ (I’m assuming this is the owner with pictures of my order and a long text telling me off and telling me that the “restaurant isn’t for me.” So, here I am trying to support local businesses I have a wacko owner texting my personal cell, harassing me. Completely disgusted by the lack of customer service here and quality of food!!! Do not support this place!!"

"I took my wife and two children out for Mother's Day and only had to wait 5 minutes for a Hibachi table at 3:30. The restaurant was super clean, even the ventilation above the grill looked brand new. The chef was skilled and engaging, cooking our food perfectly. My son and I had shrimp and noodles, while my wife and daughter chose rice. I had 13 shrimp, all cooked the same way, and they came with 2 sauces (other places usually have 4). Overall, I would give this restaurant a 5/5 for cleanliness and a 4/5 for the food. Not bad at all, definitely one of the better options in the area."

"In Albany, and decided to try Ruby City. Little did we know that not only great food awaited but the charm and hospitality of Yuki as well. Yuki served us delicious food and showered us with warmth and unmatched conviviality. Scrumptious rolls and ramen sated my appetite, and Yuki provided her own gracious humor and personality. Thank you so much, Yuki. Cannot wait to go back!"

"Small place, pretty plain inside. Mostly open area with tables and a sushi barCame in and was asked all you can eat or regular menu. Wasn't sure so they gave me both. Looked them over and decided to go with all you can eatThey do the ordering in rounds here, and you can do up to 4 rounds. They don't limit you but have Recommendations ofn3 rolls and 20 nigiri a round. They also have the standard AYCE rules about charging full price for unfinished items and riceOrdered 2 rolls and 8 nigiri to start. The Japanese lasagna baked roll is called crawfish over cheese and was good. Nice take on a classic. Also got the Tex mex roll and it was good but not as spicy as I'd hoped. Nigiri was good, fresh but small. Had all the usual suspects, tuna, salmon, yellowtail etc. I like more fish than rice and was opposite here but very tasty and freshFor round 2 I tried the shrimp tempura and tempura bananas. Both were excellent. You get 2 shrimps with the AYCE but was very light and tasty. Banal was really good and was my dessert. I only made it through 2 rounds. Service was a mixed bag. Server was friendly and very helpful. Answered all my questions and brought food with a smile. Only issue was he spent as much time making out with the hostess as waiting on tables. There was 3 tables while I was there, and we spent a lot of time waiting while they passionately made out, loudly kissing. I've been young and in love so I get it but was weird for sureI'd definitely come back"

"Came here soon after they opened and there was no wait for seating. We ordered shrimp and veggie tempura, Naruto, salmon torch roll, and dynamite roll. Tempura: 5/5 It's probably one of the best I've had in MA. The batter is so light but yet is so crispy. You don't feel like you're eating a thick coating of batter nor does it taste oily at all. Naruto: 5/5 this was so refreshing to eat with the slight tang of the sauce and thin cucumber wrapping Salmon torch roll: 5/5 I loved this, it was so good! I didn't even need to dip it in any soy sauce or wasabi Dynamite:4/5 still very good, but felt like it was a lot of sauce when you bite into each piece. Love the slight crunch of the outside rice. Service is decent, our waters were filled, and they took empty dishes away promptly before the next dish came. Definitely will come back to try more items on the menu!"

"Delivery driver said food was delivered and it was not. Delivery driver is NOT tracked through Grub-hub and is done independently by the restaurant. Was too late to reorder. Driver did NOT call upon arrival and did not answer when called to ask where he had placed the food. Honestly really disappointing that when calling the restaurant the women who picked up the phone was combative and first said it wasn’t within their control, but then said they would speak to the delivery driver. Just from the customer service— 1 star. Will not be ordering from here again."

"I was delighted to discover an Asian restaurant that offers a diverse range of dishes rather than focusing on just one type of cuisine. I visited with two friends and we enjoyed a wonderful mix of Thai, Chinese, and Japanese flavors. Since it was a Tuesday, the place wasn't very crowded, and the waitstaff were exceptionally attentive. We sampled sushi, rolls, curry, and dumplings, all of which were incredibly tasty. We definitely plan to come back!"

"I 've ordered delivery meals several times from this establishment and they did not disappoint in taste. I believe they have changed their name to Jumbo Asian Restaurant and are located just a little bit down the road from where they were. In thisrestaurant they primarily offer dishes of Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and just one or two items of the following culturesVietnamese, Korean, Mongolian. I usually purchase their bento box meals amongst other things. I think it gives the best bangfor your buck. The sushi is not bad and does taste fresh. The boba tea is good every other time too. The one Thai dish I triedwas the Pad Thai, and it was a bit subpar but not hopeless. Their spicy is definitely no where near actually being spicy inmy opinion. Strangely the dishes marked spicy that I have ordered came out to be sweeter than usual. The delivery guys wereprompt and polite with me every time. Their receptionist lady (whoever always calls customers and answers the phone) some timeshas a bit of an attitude problem however. I 'd say she was the main reason I haven 't maintained business with them. I guess youjust have to catch her on a good day?"
"Bottom line up front: The restaurant staff is friendly and well meaning, but they appear overwhelmed, you might be waiting for a while. The restaurant could use a good cleaning...I def experienced sticky floors. That being said, the food is awesome! (And well worth the wait) I ordered the Godzilla roll (I recommend), which was a tasty combination of different fish (I think Tuna and Scallops) and the St. Petersburg. The rolls' rice was cooked to perfection, and the texture was spot on: crunchy when it was supposed to be, and soft when it was supposed to be. Wife had the Spider roll and the Golden roll. Her only complaint was that the Golden roll had too much tempura."

"I have eaten at the sea many many times and it is one of my favorite restaurants. Last night was an exception it seemed all the food was very bland especially my chicken teriyaki .  the sauce was watery with a very little taste. It was an abundance of chicken on a bed of vegetables with some of the sauce poured over. If you like plain breast of chicken, you would have been satisfied, however expecting a deep teriyaki flavoring, I was most disappointed. I will of course return but not for teriyaki chicken. By the way, the lychee Martini saved the night."

"Wonderful service, so clean and friendly. We got the AYCE sushi and we were not disappointed at all. It was fresh and delicious. The server also was attentive to my husband's food allergies; when he ordered a roll that had mayo in it they caught it and made him a special version. Love it and we will be back! Update: Still our #1 go-to sushi spot. Love it! The fish is so fresh and tender. 5s"

"Here’s a revised version of your restaurant review: Some of my top picks from the menu include: - Tonkatsu Ramen - Sushi Appetizer - Bento Box with Steak - Shrimp Fried Rice - Tuna Avocado Salad On a less positive note, I found the Tuna or Lach Tataki to be a bit disappointing; it lacked the flavorful punch I expected based on its appearance in the photo. I’m excited to explore other dishes, such as the Conch Salad and Ceviche! The restaurant boasts an impressive variety of dishes and flavors. A few additional observations: there is no outdoor seating available, which can make the bar area feel cramped and lead to longer wait times. Even if you have a reservation, be prepared for a wait of about 5 to 10 minutes before being seated. A nice bonus is that all entrees and bento boxes include soup and salad!"

"They were out of boba on a Saturday at lunch. Bummer. There was something frozen in my daughters ice cube, ew. I sent my kid out to the car to get me the tea I had in the car. However USUALLY it’s pretty darn good. We brought a friends daughter here to try sushi and boba for the first so it was an adventure."

"This dining experience was one of the worst I've had in a long time. Despite having a reservation and few other patrons in the restaurant, it took 20 minutes for us to be acknowledged for our dinner order. The wait staff seemed to be standing around, with the male waiter frequently talking to the female waiter while waving his hands. This behavior was odd and distracting. He also stopped by our table multiple times, rambling on about the menu without providing any real information. The grilled eggplant we ordered was poorly prepared and unappetizing. It may have been the worst dish I've ever been served in a Chicago restaurant. When the male waiter asked for feedback, I expressed my disappointment, to which he simply shrugged and agreed. The sushi was passable, but overall, the wait staff was slow and unhelpful. The restaurant lacked ambiance, using greeting cards to cover up wall cracks. I will not be returning."

"I honestly don't understand how this restaurant has the current ratings it does. I ordered Takoyaki, tempura udon, and Katsu donburi. The Takoyaki was small but decent. The Donburi was disappointing, with tough Katsu and dry rice. The sauce was overly sweet, and it seemed like they were using frozen ingredients. The udon seemed to be made from a market base with hot water, and the noodles were undercooked. The tempura was also below average, with thin-cut ingredients and shrimp that was almost paper-thin. It seems like they may not understand how Japanese cuisine should be prepared, or they simply don't care because their main customers are not familiar with it. The staff, however, were friendly."
