The old Sweet Tomatoes spot at San Jose Market Center has new life as Supreme Crab AYCE, an all-you-can-eat restaurant serving sushi, Wagyu and seafood that hired 30 people and can seat up to 200 diners at a time. The restaurant has opened, with dinner prices running as high as $45 and lunch starting at $30.
The opening was reported by The Business Journals, which detailed the staffing numbers, seating capacity and pricing tiers for the new location. On its website, Supreme Crab AYCE describes an experience that ranges “from beautifully marbled Wagyu to juicy prime rib and a variety of premium beef cuts,” alongside “a fresh selection of seafood favorites, from shellfish and oysters to snow crab and more.” The restaurant also says it draws on Japanese culinary traditions, with a stated focus on “quality, taste, and technique.”
Earlier Plans for the San Jose Location
An earlier Whatnow.com report described the San Jose project as an all-you-can-eat Cajun-style seafood buffet planned for 625 Coleman Avenue and said no opening date had been announced at the time.
The earlier report also said Supreme Crab operated at 373 Main Street in Redwood City.
Third Location in an Expanding Lineup
San Jose marks a notable step for the brand's growth. A prior bizjournals.com report on the concept said “the new opening marks Supreme Crab's third location,” part of a push described in that same report as the restaurant expanding further down the Peninsula.
The buffet lands in a San Jose retail market that outside analysts have described as tightening. A report from The Registry Northern California Real Estate pointed to a market where demand is being propped up by pickleball courts, fitness operators and a construction pipeline that has largely stalled, while a Marcus & Millichap market report projected that San Jose retail vacancy would face continued downward pressure as construction stayed subdued and space absorption improved through 2026. Neither snapshot is a definitive read on the Market Center property itself, but both point to a backdrop where a 200-seat buffet filling a vacant anchor space is notable.
How the Pricing Stacks Up
Supreme Crab's dinner prices of up to $45 sit above at least one regional comparison point. Tomi Sushi & Seafood Buffet advertises all-you-can-eat sushi, seafood and hot entrees with dinner starting at $41.99 and lunch from $26.99, according to the restaurant's own menu listing. The comparison is limited, since menus, portions and included items can vary significantly between AYCE concepts, but it offers a rough sense of where Supreme Crab's new San Jose pricing falls within the category.
