Tae's Edo Sushi Bar: The Sushi Restaurant in Boulder Creek
Tae's Edo Sushi is the sushi restaurant in Boulder Creek, and for most of the San Lorenzo Valley it's the sushi restaurant full stop. It's at 13271 Highway 9, downtown, and it serves Japanese food six days a week.
When it is open
The schedule is the useful part, because Tae's Edo doesn't run a continuous kitchen. Dinner is 4 to 8, Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday. Friday and Saturday add a lunch window from noon to 3 before the same 4 to 8 dinner. It's closed Monday.
The lunch service is the newer half. The restaurant still leads its own site with a banner announcing it, which will catch you out if you last checked their hours a while ago.
An 8 p.m. close is early, and normal for this town. The Red Pearl serves later, to 9, and Taqueria Los Gallos runs to 8:45 on weeknights; past that, the kitchens are dark.
What to expect
The restaurant describes its own room as having a "cozy and elegant ambiance," and it's an independent dining room rather than a chain or a counter.
In our house this is the birthday dinner spot: great food across the table and friendly service. One note for plant-based eaters: the vegetarian options are limited, so check the current menu before you plan a meal around them.
The menu
The menu includes seventeen house rolls, several named for home: the Boulder Creek, Highway 9, Route 35 and Santa Cruz. The August 2026 snapshot is above; check the restaurant's site for current items and prices.
There is sake on the list, hot and cold, from house hot sake ($5) through junmai, nigori, and sparkling bottles, with Kirin and Sapporo and wine by the glass alongside.
Hours and menu items change. Check Tae's Edo Sushi's own page or call 831-338-2099 before you count on anything time-sensitive.
