MJ Sushi Foster City

This is the new (and welcomed) addition to the Metro Center, which really only had the Five Guys restaurant as a fast food option. We had the Miso Soup, Goyza (Pork Potstickers), Chicken Karaage, Tuna Avocado Hand Roll (Blue Fin Tuna), BB Roll and another plate of sushi I can’t remember the name of 😁 Everything was freshly made and the service is efficient and friendly. Best of all - You’re first drink is free and bottled water is always free. Nice touch. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

This spot just opened up recently and I was very curious to try since it’s very close to where I work. I ordered takeout and got the deluxe handroll, salmon nigiri, and the uni nigiri. All of it was super good and fresh. I was surprised by how much salmon they gave in the nigiri. Definitely bang for the buck there! The deluxe handroll was filled with a lot of the o toro, which I love! It had one uni piece at the beginning and that’s it. It would be nice if it had one or two more uni to make it a bit creamier. The uni nigiri was very creamy and fulfilled my uni cravings.

Great addition to japanese restaurants in Foster City since 3 have closed. It is still on grand opening.
We arrived around 5:30 pm. and got seated right away. It was not that crowded.
The interior is cozy and nice. There are 3 servers at the time, and we we greeted right a way when we are ready to order.
Since it is still a grand opening, the first drink is on the house. Anything from the ftidge except sake.
There are many roll dishes on the menu. We order red dragon , sashimi special, and chicken karaage.

The sashimi special is presented nicely. I am not sure if they reuse the flower or not. It is kind of waste but make the presentation nice. It is generous cut and yummy except the hamachi. I just feel it is not melt in the mouth sesnsation.

The red dragon is nice. It is a shrimp tempura roll with chopped spicy tuna on top. It is filling.

Chicken karaage on the other side is not seasoned enough. It is pretty bland, but luckily, we carry chili sauce with us, and with chili sauce, it is good. Texture wise, it is cooked through.

This place is good for big groups since it has plenty of tables.

We tried this place for the first time and were impressed. The service was quite good and the food better.

A starter of a 10 piece tempura was enjoyable. We had 3 rolls, crunchy California, crunchy eel, and the Philly roll. Both of the crunches we would order again.

And they serve Asahi Super Dry beer.

MJ's has a no frills look, the service is great and the sushi pieces are delicious. I had the tuna mango avocado special roll and it was flavor forward and not sweet! So so good!! Come check them out!
