Exceptionally fresh and delicious. My personal favorites are the Samurai roll and the Caltrain roll, also love the edamame appetizer. The staff is very friendly and attentive:)
We went there for my husband's birthday. We were seated on the second floor per my request. It was a bit dim for my preference but we ended up sitting under a lamp so it was good. Food was delicious and clean. I didn't get a pic of everything but I ordered the bento with 2 items and much to my surprise it also comes with mixed tempura with 1 shrimp. My bento was with salmon teriyaki with chicken katsu.2 things I didn't like were the green salad they give you, it was drowned in a dressing that was a bit too tangy, and the chicken karaage was tasteless for some reason and it was a bit dry. Sushi was good, handroll, and sashimi.
Great quality sushi at reasonable prices. No bones in my unagi at all.
If you really like sushi, this place will disappoint. It seems as though they don’t know how to prepare sushi. This place knows how to utterly destroy hamachi kama - we simply couldn’t finish it. Not even our cats wanted it, without the sauce or lemon of course. Jeez…even the miso salad was wrong by a mile. But hey, it’s difficult to screw up bottled beer - good job. lol
After tonight's dinner, I ended up sitting in the restroom for hours with diarrhea.Fish not fresh...they masking it with a lot of sauce on topRolls are too big and do not fit in the mouth.
My favorite place for many years. I’ve been there on weekends, weekdays, lunches and dinners, made take out orders. The food is delicious. The fish is so fresh. Sometimes it feels as the rice was just made to my order. Love their lambada roll, love their poki ball. There are quite few of my friends who share love to joy sushi. And now, during Covid, the sitting is outside-and it feels even better!!!
All time San Mateo favorite! Friendly staff and great food.Update September 2021: We moved from San Mateo and haven't visited Joy in more than 2.5 years. First time back on Saturday night! Not only did staff remember us and our son who was only 2 years old at the time, but also our special orders with extra wasabi! We miss Joy so much!Joy has no indoor seating so choose between ample outdoor dining or to go. Fabulous!
The rolls are very good. Lots of outdoor seating and everyone wears masks
This is overdue. I love Joy sushi for 4 years now and just thought to share it. I need Joy sushi to stay around for many more yearsNo other place has Jean, so no other place is good enough. She's so nice and the team she's with are amazing. Our service is always good, they clean both the tables AND the chairs. Covid doesn't skip furniture.The sushi is frakkin fantastic-just look at my nigiri!!! They aren't messing around with the portion size for the price.My standard order is Hamachi kama, 1 speci roll and mixed tempura. But tonight we did nigiri and it was freaking BEAUTIFUL AND DELICIOUS.I REGRET NOTHING ABOUT MY CARB LOADING Tonight. LONG LOVE JOY SUSHI!!! ?? ? ? ???❤️????
Bento box was good, they have a pick 2/pick 3 build your box. Lots of choices, food was fresh.
