“ What used to be the Teriyaki House owned by Charlie has been Yuki now since the late 80's. Doug, New owner kept it the same it seems like. My family and I have been dining here since I could barely walk. Service is always friendly and fast. Food is always fresh and delicious. My kids absolutely love it here. For sushi this is always our go to spot. ”

“ TLDR: I'm not sure what the clipboard in front of the restaurant was, but it doesn't appear to be too important as a couple behind me held the door open for me while I was trying to figure out what to do with it and the host seated us both at separate tables in spite of them not using the clipboard. When I got back I noticed my name scratched out to indicate that I was served, but among the numerous people I had seen enter I had only seen one name below Came here for lunch and was greeted with friendly service and an option between a regular table and a tatami, which involved having to take off your shoes. I decided to opt for the regular table, and was given water while I figured out what to order. The ambiance is sleek yet comforting - small enough to feel intimate, while still having enough room to seat plenty of people with a section for tatamis for those who want a more authentic experience. I decided to get the sashimi combo, which came with miso soup, a salad and plain rice. The sashimi was good (one of the pieces was a little harder to chew in comparison to the others but was still edible), but not too filling (Luckily the sides helped with that lol). It's no Sushi Arashi (which is probably a hard standard to live up to considering the thick cuts of sashimi that they use) but it was enjoyable enough. If I were to come back again, I'd probably go for one of the rolls instead ”

“ Yuki Sushi was a go-to spot for my wife and I when we lived in Santa Clara, and I'm happy to report that over five years later they are still going strong, delivering quality Japanese meals in a cozy and chic environment. Each meal starts off with an amuse bouche of soba noodles which is a pleasant addition that you don't see too often. One of the things I appreciate about Yuki Sushi is that while they certainly specialize in actual sushi dishes, they have an extensive offering of both hot and cold Japanese dishes beyond your typical rolls and nigiri. The Beef Tataki was a satisifying appetizer, though they certainly stretch the definition of "seared" as this was pretty much just straight-up raw. Nothing wrong with that and it was still a tasty dish, just be mentally prepared for it to moo back at you when you eat it. The Chicken Kara Age was a generous portion, but honestly it wasn't my favorite variation of this popular dish. I found the breading and chicken itself to be overly dry, and they don't serve it with any kind of dipping sauce which is a shame. Even a simple Kewpie mayo on the side would go a long way to improving it. The sushi scene in San Jose is pretty crowded with options, but Yuki Sushi sets itself a cut above with its enjoyable atmosphere and extensive menu options. If you are craving some Japanese food in Santa Clara, it's definitely worth a visit. ”

“ I've been coming here for several years now. I love supporting our local small businesses. The owner is consistently kind when I visit. I can tell by interactions with other customers that they too are treated well. Overall I like the energy this place brings. The quality of their sashimi and food is fresh and great! Today I decided to bring my son for the first time, he too loved it. The restaurant is small so expect a wait. They have a sign up sheet outside when it is busy, but it's worth the wait. ”

“ We ordered food to go last Friday and glad we did, this place is packed on a weekend night. Food was ready in a very timely manner. We ordered a sushi roll and sashimi, everything was extremely fresh and tasty. Will absolutely be back again. I recommend getting there early if you plan to eat inside. ”

“ Small cozy spot tucked in a corner of the plaza. The sushi was good, but I wish the rolls were a little more affordable. Sushi has been getting more and more expensive, so it's hard to find a place with reasonable prices and great quality. I was happy with everything we ordered. We left content and not overly stuffed. The service was friendly and quick as well. ”

“ Yuki Sushi is one of our go-to's for solid sushi. We like the Santa Clara location best for the cozy restaurant space, service and ease of parking. I've dined in for lunch and dinner and gotten takeout, and they are always reliable. I like getting the sushi special for lunch. Staff are always warm and attentive. The space is small, but we're always seated within 10-15 minutes when we go. Our favorites are the sushi lunch/dinner entrees and sunset roll. For 3 people for takeout, the total came out to about 30$/person, which is fairly standard for Bay Area sushi. ”

“ I really enjoy this small sushi place. Their food is yummy and the service is excellent. There is always speciality dish advertised on the board in case you want to try something new. My last time there I enjoyed the vegetable tempura and salmon fillet. Don't forget the sashimi and sushi rolls. It gets quite packed early for Donny. So it's best to come early or simply a patient for a table to open up. This restaurant has be here for decades. ”
