MJ Sushi

Value-focused sushi chain at 325 Sharon Park Drive with fresh sashimi, specialty rolls, ramen, and karaage — popular for quality at accessible prices with free bottled drinks.

MJ Sushi gives diners in Menlo Park's Sharon Heights neighborhood a choice between simple sushi and more elaborate specialty rolls. Salmon-avocado rolls, tuna maki, and yellowtail nigiri provide familiar starting points, while the 49 Roll adds salmon and lemon to crab and avocado. We like that the menu makes room for both restrained combinations and rolls with plenty of crunch, sauce, or heat. The Fireworks Roll combines spicy tuna and avocado with seared albacore, tobiko, and crispy onion. The signature MJ Roll takes another direction with eel tempura, salmon, mango, and cucumber. Sashimi, hand rolls, and sushi combinations broaden the fish-focused options, while chicken karaage, gyoza, tempura, and agedashi tofu provide warm dishes to share. MJ Sushi's appeal is this range within one Japanese menu, allowing a meal to reflect each diner's preferred style.
