We had a long layover and chose to eat at Sushi Boat. We ordered chicken Katsu, tempura, and udon seafood soup. The food was surprisingly good for being in the airport. The portions are large. They did a nice job for us. If ever we have enough time on a layover in San Jose we will be back..
SLOW!!!!! Hello?! You’re a restaurant at an AIRPORT…people are on a SCHEDULE with no flexibility. We would all love to take our time with our jobs but that’s just not your reality.
A picture says a thousand words. But also my teriyaki salmon tasted like it was grilled in chicken gristle and covered in watered down sauce. The rice is under cooked. And that’s the saddest excuse for a salad that I’ve ever seen.
I'm not a fan of greasy food at airports so this was where I chose to get my first meal of the day. They were stocking the grab n' go portion of their restaurant so I waited patiently and eagerly, for about 5 seconds lol. I grabbed their Rainbow Roll. It was topped with an assortment of soft and tender fresh fish , and filled generously with sweet and fresh avocado and crab filling. It went very well with a small dab of soy sauce. It was delicious and great quality too, on par with sushi I've had in Japan. I reccomend the sushi since that's all I've had the time to try. The men at the counter and working the food were kind and greeted me instantly. Thank you for the delicious meal!
Stopped by this location of Sushi Boat first time in 3+ years. It was a complete disappointment. The food was awful, service was rude, and the place was dirty as hell. On top of that, this was the only place where I used my credit card on my business trip to the Bay Area. 10 days later, someone started using my credit card and buying things in Alviso, CA, and online stores.
Do not order the tempura udon. The "tempura" vegetables (including some sort of unpeeled squash, not zucchini) seem like they haven't even been fried, and then are soaked through. There are raw carrots, spinach, and broccoli in the soup as well. The noodles are fine though. This soup was $19 before tax btw
I tried this restaurant on my stop over at the San Jose International Airport. It was okay. I had the Donburi bowl with miso soup. The bowl was actually good but I didn't quite like the soup. I also had the Japanese Wafer desert ice cream. It was okay. It had somewhat of a coffee taste to it.
Pretty decent food for an airport restaurant! I had the teriyaki chicken and my fellow traveler had the tonkasu. Both were good.
My one complaint is the steamed broccoli was cold. Not a big deal but can be improved.
