"Never disappoint. Quality is always on point. Portions are huge for great price.
Only wish is they let you right notes so you can add what kind of toast/eggs/etc. "
"I received my 2 orders of longanisa which is advertised as a full silog meal - including egg and rice and vinegar. I only received the longanisa and the vinegar.
Called the restaurant and spoke with a woman who was quick to tell me I only ordered the sides of longanisa. I said no I ordered the full meal and that the photo and description said it included rice and egg. She insisted that they already updated the info on Door Dash and that I didn't update the app. My app was already up to date and I doubled checked the description and photo.
Since she was quick with a prepared answer and did not try to resolve the issue, I'm inferring that this comes up with other customers.
I'm leaving 2 stars bc it tastes good and turnaround was quick, but false advertising to skimp on customers for more money is just shady to me. I essentially paid $18 for 6 longanisa at $3 each . Would love to support a local business but will not be returning here."

"I never do Public Reviews just rate with the number of stars. I felt so obligated as the food are exceptional, to say the least. First time trying the place so I ordered the regular Bento Box. I wasn't expecting too much but to fill my stomach. The food came and the quality was surprising, not to forget it was bento box of tempura and teriyaki. So amazingly fresh and so good. You can tell the food was handled and prepared with Care. "
"I'm confused by someone else complaining about "super sticky rice" in the sushi rolls. Sticky rice is a necessity for good sushi - it helps the sushi not fall apart when you pick it up. Joy Sushi's sushi rice is *excellent*, whether it's in a roll or in a poke bowl as a base - even the brown sushi rice! It's both flavorful and satisfyingly sticky.
All of my family members (parents, sisters, brothers-in-law, nieces) love Joy Sushi. In particular, we love the Poke Bowls. With a myriad of options to customize your own Poke Bowls and no shortage of ingredients provided, the Poke Bowls are excellent value for the money. My go-to: half-half mixed greens/sushi rice base, albacore + salmon for protein, all of the toppings (except onions + green onions), white sauce, add tamago. (Their white sauce is SO GOOD.) 1 Poke Bowl usually makes for 2 generous meals!
I also love their rolls. The Shrimp Tempura Roll deal on DD is super worth it. I also love the Lion King and Sun Shine Rolls.
The menu is diverse and has options for a wide variety of tastes. Highly recommend! One of my fav San Mateo and DoorDash spots."

"The Salmon Lover Sushi Combo was great. A bit pricey than I'm used to for just salmon but quality was great. I also ordered the Takoyaki and Chicken Karaage. The Karaage is not quite traditional but it was tasty. The Takoyaki only came with 5 pieces which for the price was not worth it imo."

"The Roast Beef Aburasoba is SO good. The oils and spices in the noodles at Kajisen make them chopstick-lickingly delicious. The beef is cooked to a beautifully tender texture, and the onions, yogurt, and other seasonings make it flavorful to the max. I'm obsessed."
"Kajiken used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but they've been reeeeally inconsistent as of late. Today's NIKUMORI ABURASOBA was overly spicy and buried in green onions. I've learned to only order from them on Thursdays, and when I break that rule, I am always disappointed. The egg shortage means everyone now gets half an ajitama instead of a full raw egg. :("

"Taishoken is reason enough to move to San Mateo! Truly excellent in every respect: the crafting of the noodles, the rich complex broth, a magically prepared egg. Each ingredient is carefully prepared for a balanced whole that exceeds the sum of its parts. Their dedication to preparing only the finest ramen, hayakko, gyoza is something only the very best aspire to. The team at Taishoken achieves it one dish at a time. Consistently extraordinary. "
"I've been watching this guy on YouTube kill 6kg+ ramen challenges and I gave this place a shot. Wow is all I have to say. Karaage(Fried chicken) was out of this world, most places fry it way too much but this place did it perfectly and the ramen was out of this world. Packaging was perfect and all ingredients tasted and looked super fresh. Give them a shot, you'll thank yourself later"

Only issue was the Philadelphia Roll came with tuna instead of salmon as expected, and overall it was our least favorite. We'd recommend both the Furagu Roll and Crazy Roll though, as they were both delicious!"

"We ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry and the Assorted Veggie Curry with potato croquette. I did pickup since its close to me and it was ready right when it said it would be and was packed super well ready to travel in the car. Both were DELICIOUS and nice big portions. Will most definitely be a repeating customer many many more times! "
"Curry is decent, but the actual pork cutlet was lacking - not a great cut of meat as it was dry and very chewy.
The tonkatsu is also delivered on top of the curry with the salad and rice in the same packaging so everything arrives soggy.
I've had much better in very average restaurants in So Cal. However, I don't think there are many great options in the Bay Area for tonkatsu which is why Hyuga is so highly rated here. "

"Chicken karaage curry rice was tasty but the curry portion was tiny even though I paid extra for additional curry."
"The portion size of 957. Wagyu Sukiyaki (A LA CARTE) was NOT worth over $30 ($38 after tax and fees). It filled only half of a small takeout container. Less than what you would get for a ramen or udon dish and way more expensive. The dish wasn't even cooked that well. It tasted okay, but it was a little salty and oily and the beef slices were cooked in clumps so it was as though i ate 3-4 meatballs and the centers were slightly rarer. It came with miso soup on the side which, as miso soups go, wasn't even that good. Needed more dashi. Wouldn't order again."

I don't normally write reviews, but I was very pleased. "
"The Tonkotsu Ramen is to die for! You get a large bowl, the soup is always packaged outside of the noodles so that you can add it when you're ready, and the extra toppings are always packaged on the side so that you can add how little or how much you want! It's my reward meal to myself and I wouldn't have it any other way!"

My only real gripe is that the truffle taro chips did not taste of truffle at all.

"Good morning, thank you for the dishes, I really like them, what delicious chicken meat. super recommended you are one of my favorites"
"I've purchased a few times. the food is good. Granted it has been two or three months since I ordered last but the quantity of what you get drastically... I bought two bowls and they weren't even half way full once you take all the extra they stuffed in to make it look full. Portions for the price is no longer worth it in my opinion 😬"

"My first reaction when I saw my regular Regular Bowl was simply, "Wow!" In typical Hawaiian style, the portion was huge! But quality is more important than quantity, and the quality of the ingredients is top-notch! I got hamachi and tuna as my proteins and the fish was absolutely fresh. The hamachi was buttery and the tuna was nice and meaty, both devoid of that fishy taste. As for the other ingredients, I love how they included big chunks of tofu, and the veggies were nice and crunchy. The rice was perfect! This is how a poke bowl should be!"
"The poke is fresh and flavorful! They really jam packed our bowls with fish. I especially liked the salmon with wasabi soy sauce as well as the house tuna. Definitely would order again!"

"food is super good always chicken is nice and flavor . chicken katsu is crunchy and melts. and overall eveything is so gooood. the staff there is super nice and friendly . when im working this is my to go to spot"
"This was a mockery of Japanese food. The rice was hard and strangely oily. All of the tempura tasted like the same thing i.e., cold, tasteless, oily cardboard. And then there was this weird "salad" wilted iceberg covered in some thing that tasted like big Mac sauce. Has almost nothing to do with Japanese food."

"Hands down our favorite sushi in the area for over a decade now. More traditional, less over the top exotic rolls for the sake of it. always really fresh and choice fish. And their Japanese Fried Rice is our favorite over any fried rice from any restaurant. Their Salmon avocado Roll are a simple but always top choice. And their jalapeño yellowtail roll is excellent. All the standard stuff is great too. "
"The Mix Tempura (9 Pcs) was great! All of the vegetables were flavorful and the shrimp were perfect. The Zaru Soba was good, wished it had grated radish to put in to the dip. The Smoked Salmon was good, not heavily smoked and the Hamachi Toro was perfect too. Had people admiring as they were passing by."
