Any one have good places to eat while at the conventions? Also maybe price ranges? Oh and any one know where to get sushi?

Yelp.com search of the area around the convention center. Hope that helps!
I'd recommend Iguana's.
It's really good mexican food at a fair price.
And it's a bit farther down in one of the victorian houses, so not many convention-goers have swarmed it yet, like they do to Johnny Rockets.

Tandoori Oven, some of the stuff is half prices from 4pm - 6pm. That's when I go there.
Depends on if you want to eat cheap.
Hydration? $5-$10...

I second the motion, Hydration rocks.
Btw, fanime's schedule has a nearby foods map on it. (:

The price range is small $12 large $25 depending on the kind of pizza you like
225 W. Santa Clara st.
Downtown San Jose
I'm advocating bring your own food only because I'm being cheap this year when it comes to food. XD
You definitely don't want to be eating out the whole time, but it's also nice to go out with friends once or twice during the con.
I too am a fan of Hydration and Tandoori Oven.
I'm not sure when they'll be open, but Smile Sushi is pretty good.
Pita Pit is probably the best place around the area to get stuff late at night.
For chain stuff there are Togo's, some fast food restaurants, Johnny Rockets, etc.
And Japantown is a very quick and easy trip on the light rail.

I second that! I love the Pita Pit. You get discounts when you bring your last receipt with you, and if you turn your con badge over, sometimes you'll get a student discount as well.
