Sushi Confidential Campbell

Sushi Confidential has two locations in the South Bay: San Jose and Campbell, both located in California. The location I will review and went to today was at the Downtown Campbell location. The downtown Campbell is located in Campbell, CA where there are a bunch of restaurants and little family owned stores. Right now, Sushi Confidential is doing take-out orders and outdoor dining due to COVID-19 and I saw the staff and the customers handling the protocols pretty good. I got my order pretty quickly and when I got home and ate the sushi, it was so delicious! I ordered 4 of their vegetarian rolls since I am a flexitarian. The first roll I will review is their Anti- Phishing which is with spicy tofu, tempered green beans, topped with ahimi, avocado, unagi sauce, green onions. Ahimi is basically a play on raw tuna but it’s not raw tuna, it’s tomato but has that ahi tuna feel. To be fair, I thought there was no way tofu can be put into a sushi roll but it turns out they did! I really liked the tofu with the unagi sauce and avocado, I thought it gave the roll a nice freshness. I also liked how the tofu was soft and it actually had flavor that I absolutely enjoyed! I also liked the ahimi which was soft and it did taste like it was raw tuna but it’s not! I enjoyed how I can still have that “tuna” taste without eating any fish. I did wish the tofu was a bit spicier. I was expecting it to be slightly more spicy. To be fair, this was actually my favorite roll out of the 4 I got! Highly recommend this roll very much! The second roll I got was their Snitch which is spicy tofu, cucumber, topped with avocado, spicy spy sauce, and sweet potato crisps. This roll was definitely spicer than the first roll which I really liked I thought that this roll had spicer tofu than the Anti-Phishing which I liked very much! I liked the avocado and cucumber so that the roll had some freshness and I like the spicy spy sauce, it complemented the roll very well. I did like the addition of the sweet potato crips, really nice texture element I do wish it was a bit crunchier. Overall, really liked the roll, it had every tasting element you should definitely taste ina sushi roll. The third roll I got was DTF (Down to Fiesta) which is basically an avocado roll topped with fresh pico de gallo, jalapenos, Persian lime jalapeno olive oil, sesame seeds. This was a really nice, fresh roll and l liked the addition of the other ingredients to help elevate the flavors of the sushi roll. I think a bit of lemon maybe would of helped get another flavor level of the sushi roll because I didn’t taste acidity which I think that’s what pico de gallo really needs. Either a lemon or lime would of helped the roll out more and tie in the flavors together. I do however really liked the fun fresh flavors they were going for I thought it was thought out! The last roll I got was their Hollaback which has shiitake mushroom, cucumber, topped with avocado, lemon, garlic crisp, soy vinaigrette, and spicy sprouts. I really liked how mild this sushi roll was and all of the vegetables really helped tie the sushi roll together. I did like the lemon on top to give the roll acidity. I thought that was smart so all of the flavor components shined through. I did like the addition to the shiitake mushrooms because those were like the “meat” part of the sushi roll which was super filling. Overall, this sushi roll was delicious and perfect. I don’t have anything to say except, this was some great fresh sushi! Overall, I really liked Sushi Confidential and this is definitely a must go spot if your ever in Campbell or San Jose! Their sushi rolls were very fresh and the rice was just right! Don’t forget to support local businesses like this one and check out their sushi! It’s really delicious and I love the variety of vegetarian/vegan sushi rolls! I wish there was more because I have a feeling their rolls are terrific and definitely I hope they come out with more vegetarian options in the future!

Sushi Confidential makes some of the most unique kinds of sushi I have ever had! They fuse different delicious flavors and textures in new ways with their changing menu. They make everything from spicy, crunchy sushi with tempura shrimp and light, citrus sushi with zest! Their Raman is delicious as well! Don't miss their happy hour 3-6 and 9-close! Their ahi wonton tacos at happy hour are worth the visit!

Watching the chef work is super fun and there’s a bunch of writing on the walls to keep you amused as you wait. I love that there is a taken for everyone. I love their Okinawa bowl even though it always ends up making me feel extra stuffed but it’s worth the full stomach.

Went today on a Sunday. Looked like it started to pick up after the 49er game was over but everyone kept their distance. They had a great set up. We gave them our name and it was about a 15 minute wait so we walked around until the table was ready. They have little signs stating I'd the table was clean or dirty. Also, they had a sign for you to scan the menu from your phone. When you were ready to order you went to the table at the entrance. They have plexiglass separating you from the cashier. They even sanitized your card before swiping. They do add an 18% gratuity to your order for the whole staff to split, which is a great idea! They bring you ice water in plastic cups and a vase with ice cold water for you to refill yourself. Everyone had masks. Food was great! Sad they didn't have the green bean tower anymore but got the edamame instead. Those were addicting! Had a side of miso soup. We also ordered the spicy salmon roll (brought tears to my bf's eyes

The food was amazing and tasty, I really liked the service despite the fact that due to lock down tables were outside and everyone has mask on they were trying so hard to meet the standard, we also ordered an in-house wine, which I loved it. We had sushi and donburi with chicken teriyaki, both have had a very fresh meat, and ingredients. The desk was clean and sanitized before sitting, which is nice given the situation. The price and service fee where higher than usual, which is OK.
