San Jose, CA
Best Sushi in San Jose.
Harry's top 10 sushi spots in San Jose score 77–88 on the Harry Score. Prices run $$ to $$$$.
Omakase is not the point. The point is whether the rice is seasoned correctly and the fish is at temperature. Harry penalises the performative. You do not need a forty-five-course meal to know if a kitchen can handle salmon.
