On Sunday April 10th, Sushi Confidential opened their doors in Morgan Hill. This is the 3rd restaurant location for owner/operator Sushi Randy who has restaurants in Campbell and San Jose, in addition to concession pop-ups at the SAP Shark Tank, Shoreline Amphitheatre and the Plex. Sushi Randy spent 12 years as a cancer researcher by day and a Sushi Chef by night, before taking the leap to open his first Sushi Confidential in 2012. The name “Sushi Confidential” is based on the private underground sushi dinners he would host in his house three nights a week. The menu was always sushi and the dinner was always confidential.
