Japanese Restaurants

Kazoo Sushi Boat
1165 Lincoln Ave. #10, San Jose, CA 95125
True to its name, at Sushi Boat you can sit the bar and lift what tempts you off the floating barges going by (and if you're watching your pennies, pay attention to the kind of dish it's sitting on--that determines the price). Speak up if there's something you want that's not in the flotilla; the friendly chefs are happy and quick to oblige.

"Cal-Mex" cuisine.

Taqueria Tlaquepaque
2222 Lincoln Ave., San Jose, CA 95125
Mexican. Owner Ubaldo Navarro makes sure all the usual dishes rank well above average, but that's not what makes his eatery special. It's the extra touches: amazing breakfasts, deliciously tart margaritas and a talented balladeer belting out canciones on Saturday nights.
