i lived in cupertino for about 15 years.

for reasonably priced, decent sushi try sushi kuni on de anza boulevard, near stevens creek. its a tiny sushi place next to the petco.

for good chinese food i'd suggest joy luck place in cupertino village.

san jose/cupertino is boring. i'd recommend carmel or sausalito if you want to take her somewhere romantic. SF is awesome, obviously. not sure how long you're willing to drive though. carmel is a healthy 2-3 hr drive, yosemite is like 6hrs, SF is an hour, napa is like 1.5, etc. california is a huge state

let me know if you have any more questions
