Our family of four including my 8 yrs old had dinner during Thanksgiving holiday. As a tourist from San Jose and grew up in Japan, Oshi Nori is a great sushi restaurant. Much more authentic and reasonable than the ones in San Jose. Everyone served us are friendly and helpful. They have vegetarian choices such as cucumber roll, egg roll, mushroom roll and edamame that my little one enjoyed. I strongly recommend this place.

Tasty, fresh and authentic Mexican cuisine. Enjoyed the spicy mango margarita! Chips and dips starter was a nice touch and start to a fun evening food experience. Seafood app to share was fresh and tasty. Mains were flavourful and tasty. Taco trio with 3 different pork fillings in corn tortillas was excellent. Enchiladas were flavourful and chicken in house mole was delicious.
