You dgrinners have a favorite Suahi Restaurant somewhere near SJC? I have some exec's flying in and need a nice dinner.

April: You had said a nice place near SMHQ? (After all, I found a nice one near Joe McNally's place!)

It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    The smuggy place isn't close-close to SJC, but about 20 minutes away.

    Smuggy folks love Fuki in Palo Alto.

    If price isn't an issue, try the tasting menu of kaygetsu in Menlo Park.

    If you want Japanes "tapas" try, Gochi in Santa Clara.

    I know that this is a staakhouse, but Alexanders is a Japanese fusion place where you can get Kobe beef along with Hamachi shots.

    Do you need more recs? I have more....

    I like a few other places, but they're more for the price/quality ratio, mom-pop factor, or hole in the walls where I only hear Japanese and no english.

    Other recomendations:

    Seto Sushi in Sunnyvale...great traditional japanese. Lots of japanese businessmen frequent this place.

    Sushi 85 is more modern and does great rolls.

    Blowfish in Santana Row has great modern atmosphere and energy with better then average sushi.

    Big thumbs up on Kaygetsu and Gochi as April mentioned. Gee..april I didn't know you were a foodie!
