Jo's Sushi prides itself on picking out the freshest fish.

Upon entering Jo's you will always be greeted with a smile. Our menu offers Authentic Japanese items including "homemade" gyoza (pot stickers) and Yajinasu (grilled eggplant), Nabemono (one-pot dishes), delicious entrees, a renowned selection of nigiri & sashimi. Popular rolls include the Volcano Roll, Bubba Gump Roll, and "seasonal" nigiri includes Needlefish, Spanish Mackerel, and Red Snapper to name a few. Our staff provides friendly service to compliment a dining experience rated among the highest in the Bay area. One reviewer is quoted as saying, "As with almost every sushi bar, familiarity breeds affection. Being a regular has its rewards." We look forward to your first visit.
