Happy hour was really worth it here. Prices are very good and it is every day starting at 3PM.
We didn’t have to wait for a table on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered food, and things came out very quickly.
We ordered many items, and I enjoyed the truffle salmon roll, chicken wings, and garlic noodle the most.
Garlic noodle serving was bigger than I expected. It fed the two of us, and we took some home.
Salmon roll had quality salmon, and the truffle oil was nice touch.
The chicken wings were the salt and pepper style wings. Can never go wrong with ordering these.
Hot sake is $9 as well. The glass poured about 6 shots of sake. Well worth it.

I tried EMC Sushi in Santana Row and had such a great experience! The sushi was extremely fresh and flavorful — you could tell the ingredients were top quality, and each roll was beautifully presented. The chefs clearly put care into both the taste and the presentation.
The atmosphere at Santana Row is always so lively and vibrant, and EMC fits perfectly into that scene. It’s a great place to sit back, enjoy good food, and soak up the energy around you. We also ordered the garlic French fries, and they were honestly some of the best I’ve had — crispy, golden, and bursting with garlicky goodness.
To end the meal, we went for the crème brûlée, and it was the perfect finishing touch. The custard was smooth and creamy, and the caramelized top had just the right crunch. It’s rare to find a place that does both sushi and dessert so well!
Overall, EMC Sushi is a spot I’d definitely recommend for anyone visiting Santana Row — great food, great service, and a fun, relaxing atmosphere that makes you want to come back again soon.

1 star – Hostess behavior ruined a family birthday dinner
This review is specifically about the hostess, Irene, whose behavior completely ruined my mother-in-law’s birthday dinner and left my two young children upset and afraid. Most importantly, she attempted to take my wife’s cell phone out of her hands while my wife was seated at the table. That should never happen to a customer.
We brought our family (my wife and I, our two children under 7, and my mother-in-law, who is over 75) to EMC Seafood to celebrate her birthday, which we noted in our Resy reservation. We arrived about 15 minutes early and were told to return at our reservation time, despite an empty table being available. When we returned, we were seated at that same table—meaning our kids and elderly family member waited outside in the cold unnecessarily.
We were placed at a table directly by the entrance with constant foot traffic and cold air from the door. Not ideal for small children or a senior. I later noticed a cushioned booth farther back and politely asked whether we could move. Irene said it was reserved for seven people. A few minutes later, she seated a party of four there.
The most serious incident occurred shortly after. My wife took a photo near the entrance. Irene appeared to believe she was in the photo and, without warning, approached from behind and attempted to take my wife’s iPhone out of her hands while she was seated. Irene then demanded that the photo be deleted and threatened to call the police.
This all happened in front of our two children (ages 5 and 7), who became visibly upset and frightened. Threatening police involvement over a photo and attempting to take a customer’s personal property—especially in front of young children—is completely unacceptable.
I asked to speak with a manager, and Irene stated that she was the manager on duty. The incident occurred around 6:30 pm and should be visible on security footage.
To be fair, the food was good, which makes the experience even more disappointing. We ordered the Hokkaido scallop, grilled shrimp tacos, fries with truffle and mushroom aioli, baked scallop roll, shrimp tempura roll, garlic noodles, and a whole charred branzino. Everything tasted good, and we especially enjoyed the fries and the branzino. The servers were professional and kind, including promptly helping when a drink was accidentally spilled.
Unfortunately, the hostess’s conduct overshadowed everything else. We left remembering the confrontation, not the meal.
EMC Seafood could be a good restaurant, but no guest should ever experience this kind of behavior during a family celebration. Management and ownership should take this incident seriously.

I really liked the food. The salmon fried rice was simple but well prepared, and the creme brulee had a really nice vanilla kick.
Good portion sizes and nice atmosphere, especially for the outdoor seating in the heart of Santana Row.

We had a reservation, but after being seated we waited about 10 minutes with no server coming by to greet us or explain the menu. We eventually had to order from another server, and only then did our assigned server finally show up.
The food was very disappointing. We ordered the uni pasta, and it tasted extremely fishy. The uni was clearly not fresh and was honestly inedible.
Service timing was also a major issue. We ordered cocktails and sushi and waited over 40 minutes. It turned out that our first server probably missed ordering those two items. During that time, I noticed a sushi plate sitting on the counter for at least 10 minutes. I only took photos after realizing how long it had been sitting there. A server briefly took the plate away and then brought it back, which was very concerning. They later attempted to serve that same sushi to us, but we refused because I had already seen it sitting out for more than 20 minutes.
When we left the restaurant, the sushi plate was still there. I have no idea what eventually happened to it, but the situation raised serious concerns about food safety and handling.
Overall, between the poor service, long waits, and questionable food quality, this was a very disappointing experience.

Wow! I came here for the happy hour and our table was never empty. We kept ordering more and more food like we had a “hollow leg”. I loved the dishes that had truffle as fries and truffle salmon roll. There is plenty to choose from their happy hour menu. All staff members were very accommodating. Chris, our server, made our birthday celebration very special. We went on a Saturday, so there was a lot to see and hear when walking around The Row. Check out the all day happy hour on Monday and Thursday.

Excited for a later happy hour (shout out for having it til 6pm), but the experience was meh overall. The service is always a struggle, having to ask for our drink (singular) multiple times as well as one of our dishes that took ages to come out. The drink itself was great (a spicy Bloody Mary), and the food was mixed. The sushi rolls were fine – not great, not terrible. Generally, a good amount of meat and didn’t overdo it on the rice amount, but nothing overly fancy or flavorful. The show stopper was the dry rub wings. Six wings, and they were massive. SO flavorful, juicy, super crunchy, and totally worth the double fry. Some of the happy hour items are a good deal, while others aren’t, it’s a mix. Just go in with minimal expectations and you’ll be fine.

The food was good overall and the portions were pretty big.
The service was ok, initially our server seemed annoyed later he was better but never felt friendly but more curt. I saw the server for the next table was friendly.
We got a lobster roll which was ok, the lobster tasted ok and but very fresh but still enjoyable.
I got a truffle, crab garlic noodle which was good. The garlic bread was ok.

Went here for happy hour and had great drinks that were super reasonably priced, especially for Santana Row, and had some good bites. The food was pretty good, but the oysters weren’t cleaned super well, but otherwise we enjoyed the food. We will definitely be back to try other food items and drinks because they have happy hour every day which is rare.
