One of the best sushi places in Nor Cal. The place is too small though. You feel they are kicking you out, want to rush you out. Better take togo. At the restaurant u will not enjoy it. Tables are tooo close to each other.

Surprisingly it's still not allowed dine-in. Fresh fish, right portion, and consistent. It's our favorite local place to go to. For me, I like to enjoy eating sushi dining in. Sushi is not the to-go kind of food. Hopefully dine-in will open soon.

Went during COVID. Online orders only. Two mini-booths for pick-up are available. They are strict with you showing your e-mail receipt. Food is scrumptuous. I would recommend the Sumo Roll and Ohio Roll.

My go-to sushi place during the pandemic. The food is always ready on time, and the staff double-checks to make sure everything is there during pick-up.

The food is consistently delicious. On this visit, I ordered the Baked Salmon roll, Milpitas roll, Caterpillar roll, and In the Sea roll. I also tried their tonkatsu donburi for the first time. Although relatively pricey, the portions are filling. The fish on the rolls cover not just the top, but a whole semi arc. The donburi also has a generous portion of pork and rice. In sum, convenient, high-quality food that I will surely return for more!

I had a very interesting ordering and pick up experience at Sen Dai Sushi. The last time I ordered from this place was a few months back and we did and UberEats delivery. This time we decided to pick up our food to avoid all the delivery costs.
This restaurant does not take phone orders so you can't really talk to anybody to make an order. They make you order through Grubhub and that itself was not easy and smooth as I would have preferred. From Sen Dai's website, they send you over to Grubhub. I ended up making my selection of all the dishes and was ready to get checked out. There was no guest option so I had to go through the Grubhub registration process. The check out process was also tough because it would not take my credit card three different times. After the fourth time for clicking purchase, the order finally went through. Things were all good by this point and we were ready and waiting to pick up our food.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we noticed the entire parking lot was full. We circled around and couldn’t find a parking spot so we decided to park at the business next door. After walking back to the restaurant, I stood in line and asked the person in front of me if this was the line for pickups that were ready or if they were just waiting from a confirmed order. He said it’s just one line and he already got sent to the back of the line because the first time around his order was not ready. The line was past the liquor store on the right and was starting to reach the next plaza. It was quote long.
After I got to the front of the line, I showed them my order on my phone and completed the pick up process. I asked them if everybody had to wait in the single line whether their order was ready or not and he confirmed that was the situation. My advice is make sure the restaurant confirms your order is ready and prepare for a long wait time as the line is quite lengthy.
We brought all the food back home and it all tasted good. There were no real issues with the food and we enjoyed the spread. The prices are a little higher than other nearby sushi restaurants, but since this places seems to be pretty popular, this is not unexpected. I gave them a nice pre tip before I got to the restaurant in the online order, but I would suggest doing the tip afterwards as typically you tip based on the service you get from a restaurant.

I wanted to give it 5 stars, since I used to find their sushi the best in the area. However, recently their sushi doesn't feel as fresh as it used to be.

Long line waiting in a small plaza. You have to park a couple of blocks and waiting for indeterministic amount of time. Food portion is not quite matching the price.

My fav spot for sushi in the Milpitas/North SJ area! It always packed regardless of dine in or takeout. Right now they take orders through grubhub (also found on yelp), no phone orders. I ordered right when they opened and it was expected for pickup ~30 mins later. Their shelves were full of orders so I assume they have preorders to fulfill prior to the new ones. They call your name at the window when it's ready.

My bf and I ordered the storm bringer, orange lady, and baked salmon skin roll. On average a roll costs $15-16 but portions are huge and they don't skimp on the fish. Quality is amazing as well as presentation. Storm bringer has soft shell crab inside which I really enjoyed. Orange lady is a salmon roll with spicy mayo inside has shrimp tempura and imitation crab. I recommend getting raw rolls here. Salmon skin roll was a little too salty for my taste. All had lots of masago, yummm. The picture speaks for itself on how delicious this meal was.

This is hands down the BEST sushi restaurant in the Bay Area. It's my #1 go-to. I go here all the time. Sorry for the photo setting. COVID-19 so we went somewhere outside to eat.

The sushi here is always fresh. You can smell, feel, and taste the freshness. The portions are also really big. Every sushi spot is pretty standard in size. The rolls and nigiri cuts here are much larger than other places. The price is also affordable.

The flavors are just amazing. I love their spicy crab. The salmon and tuna are my favorites. All of the rolls are great. The ingredients and combinations are amazing. I recommend the Happy Blossom Roll, Sendai Roll, or Mizuno Roll. I also love their nigiri and sashimi. All the basic stuff are insanely fresh and all you need, to be honest.

Every time I have eaten here, it has always been consistently great. Never a bad time. Amazing food that tops the scale. Give it a try. It's super busy on Fridays, but that means it is good. Otherwise, who would go there if it isn't good?

My favorite sushi spot.

I came here to celebrate my 21st birthday, and it was certainly worth the trip! My boyfriend and I made our reservations a few days in advance, and were seated immediately upon arrival. This was my first time eating at a Brazilian Steakhouse, and I was certainly impressed with the entire experience.

M Grill has a massive self-serve bar, holding appetizers ranging from salad to seafood. They additionally had live musicians playing through the night. The highlight, of course, was the never-ending rotations of different meats around our table. I tried nearly everything on the menu, combining the waiters walking around with asking specifically for certain cuts of meat to be brought over. Most of everything I ate was delicious, and one of my favorites was actually the grilled pineapple! The in-house bread rolls were also to die for. We ate nearly two baskets of it at my table and every bite was worth it!

If you have yet to try eating at a Brazilian Steakhouse, or have gone before and are craving it, I would recommend trying M Grill.
