50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Campbell

“Great food and service as always“

“Kaizen was super delicious!!! It exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a local sushi spot with fresh fish and I’m happy to report that I think we found our new go-to spot. I’m usually a bit picky with sushi places and haven’t returned to any so far in the area but the fresh was really fresh, portions were extremely sizable, and service was kind and attentive.

We already started digging in before I took the photos so please excuse the missing pieces! The chirashi bowl had about 15 pieces of big sashimi and was really worth the bang for your buck. The rolls were also huge with good pieces of fish! The hotate nigiri was my star of the show and the yummiest bite! The salmon egg nigiri was pretty salty though so that’s the only one I’d probably skip next time.

Overall my husband and I really enjoyed our dinner and I hope this place gets lots of love!! The owners and wait staff were working incredibly hard! Can’t wait to return again soon.“

“I never review restaurants but if you are reading this, I’m really hungry right now….and just wanted to share to my food people, that Kyoto Palace Japanese Steakhouse is the best Japanese restaurant I still have ever been to and my favorite restaurant growing up as a kid… #1 miso soup and salad are just never the same anywhere else..the same chef Jose that would make roosters with the scrambled eggs still works there over 20 years later..If I had yelp or seriously reviewed restaurants I would 10/10 them for never changing a single thing about this place. Just sharing for my food friends keep scrolling if you don’t care about this post 🙂“

“There are many choices for a good meal in Campbell. This family operated restaurant has been serving our family delightful Chinese meals for more than 20 years.“

“I just keep forgetting they play the worst music. And at times that you wouldn't play hot pop, rap. Older crowd means NOT pop nor hip-hop. And to mention, waitress was telling us how the kitchen staff was now going to sleep because we were asking to change music. Wow, guilt trip because we, and others hated the music. Since when did kitchen staff over rule CUSTOMERS! Shame on you. Lost a local customer, and maybe others.

Sad....“

“friendly staff, monstrous upon great broth“

“I had a great time over there. Delicious food 🥘“

“Love this place, they have the best fried tofu and service is fast!“

“Good ambience, great food. Loved the family vibe. Feels like eating in a cozy eatery in Osaka.“

“Goku Sushi is a real gem!! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was attentive. We ordered a variety of rolls, and each one was a delight. The Mango roll was outstanding. The presentation of the food was also beautiful. We'll definitely be back! By the way, we came to the one on Blossom Hill !!“

“Delicious sushi rolls and Japanese cuisine. Not sure if its authentic but it's tasty. Friendly staff. Decent portion. Average to high price. Limited seating, average 10-20mins wait or more, depends on busy hours/not. Located inside the mall.“

“Shabutime was such a great experience and easily one of the best Japanese hot pot spots I’ve been to so far.

This was my second time ever doing hot pot and my first time trying a Japanese-style hot pot, and it completely changed my perspective. Everything felt very organized and easy to follow, which made the whole experience way more enjoyable.

We ordered the beef toro belly and the seafood combo, which came with a full spread of vegetables. For broths, we went with the yukisaki and spicy Sichuan, and both were really well balanced and flavorful without being overwhelming. We also added vermicelli and udon noodles, which soaked up the broth perfectly.

What stood out to me was how satisfying the meal actually was. I’ve done hot pot before and left feeling like I didn’t really eat enough or get the full experience, but that was not the case here. Everything felt complete and well thought out.

They also have a solid selection of sauces and add-ons, which really let you customize each bite.

Overall, super impressed with the quality, the setup, and how smooth the whole experience was. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.“

“Amazing food 🍱 Great Service“

“My first visit to Mikiya was shortly after they opened. The food and service were decent, but a 45-minute wait past our reservation time left a bad taste, figuratively speaking. I wasn't sure I'd be back.

I'm glad I gave it another shot. This time we came to celebrate a visiting friend, and Mikiya more than delivered. The menu has noticeably improved, we were seated promptly, and our server Zac was the kind of hospitality professional who makes a meal memorable. Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing, his recommendations were spot on and genuinely elevated the whole experience.

It's clear the team has put in real work since opening. I'm signing up for the membership and already looking forward to the next visit.“

“love this cute place . tempura veggies crunchy.all fresh , great service.“

“This restaurant is truly an experience. You come here not just to eat, but to learn about the culture, the thoughtful preparation of each ingredient, and to enjoy the very best ingredients of the season. The meal is meant to be savored slowly.

Dinner runs from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM with one seating only, and the door opens promptly at 6:30 PM. There is ample parking in the back, even on a Saturday night.

The environment is intimate and very homey. The only small note is that the music was a bit loud at times, especially since the hostess, Yoko, is very soft-spoken. Turning the music down slightly would make it easier to hear her explanations.

The evening began with a celebratory yuzu sparkling sake in honor of the New Year. The seasonal *Hassun* was my favorite course of the night. Served in an adorable ceramic fish, it was filled with auspicious New Year foods such as herring roe, chestnut, octopus, plum, abalone, konjac, kombu, and more—each cooked to its ideal texture.

The *ozoni* was Kansai-style, featuring mochi, yuba, and black cod, and was wonderfully warming and comforting. The sashimi course was exceptionally fresh, highlighting Aomori bluefin tuna, 明石鯛 (widely regarded as the best *madai* in Japan), and Santa Barbara uni. For winter, Hokkaido uni is not considered at its peak, making this selection especially thoughtful.

The wagyu course was simply divine—truly melt-in-your-mouth. The rice course followed with a generous bowl of Dungeness crab meat and ikura, paired with refreshing *tsukemono* and a clear seafood broth.

I absolutely loved the monaka dessert, and the meal concluded beautifully with a bowl of lightly whipped matcha.

Once again, this is an experience, not a simple meal. Come with an open mind, an appreciation for nuance, and the willingness to explore different flavors while immersing yourself in a meaningful cultural journey.“

“My wife and I love ramen. And we love coming to this place when we visit from out of town. One of the best ramen we've had. Great flavor and quick service. The service overall is wonderful as well, always nice to hear a couple of Japanese words. The atmosphere is wonderful, works with kids as well. And my server this round was Yoshie, she was great as well as everyone else that proactively helped keep things in tip top shape.“

“The new sushi restaurant in Los Gatos (Yokohama) is a real gem. The food is exceptionally fresh and delicious, with a wide variety of rolls to choose from. The service is attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere is calm and pleasantly quiet. We loved our experience and will definitely be back.“

“Just a random visit here and I will say they were one of the better sushi restaurants I have been to.

Their 3 roll combo is very reasonably priced with them also being quite good as well.
Their specialty roll that I got was fantasic albeit a bit pricy compared to the rest but still a good roll.

Would recommend for people near by for sure.“

“This location opened inside not too long ago inside the Great Mall not too far from the Jollibee and I've been several times already.

Their onigiri is delicious, fresh, and well-priced. I've also tried their signature poke bowl. Everything is made to order and the ingredients are high-quality. Even so, the prices are quite reasonable - the bowl is ~$17, including tax. Most poke places are easily starting at $20 for any sort of bowl and that's before you add in other toppings and premium ingredients.

Don't know how long they can keep up the quality at this price but I'd give it a try before too long.“

“Food is always fresh and delicious. There’s always a variety of specials every week besides their main menu items. It’s easy to place an order and pickup. Try it; it will become your main takeout restaurant like it has become ours!“

“I was surprised by how good these are for the price. For a food stand in the middle of the mall, I didnt know if it was going to be worth trying but the signs look good and overall looked well designed so I gave it a shot. I got the sweet soy salmon and spicy tuna at around $11 total. Good quick snack option while in between shopping or waiting for a restaurant table. You order through a kiosk and someone hands you your order in about 5 minutes.“

“the sushi was so delicious and very reasonably priced for the quality :) I loved all of their unagi rolls, especially the black dragon roll that has an entire eel on top! I also really liked the salmon sashimi, the 49ers roll, and the caterpillar roll.

the waiter was also so kind, we will definitely be back :)

I forgot to take a picture until we’d eaten almost the entire roll lol but the rolls and fish were so plump and so fresh!“

“A decent spot to grab sushi! Many of my colleagues actually recommended the Korean food actually. The Champon and K-Chirashi (Hwe Dup Bap) are unique to this spot, and not typical for sushi restaurants in the area!

I got the Catherine Roll and Agedashi Tofu to start! Both were great. Fresh fish and not too much rice. The tofu came out piping hot and was breaded lightly.

The K-Chirashi was fun! Imagine a sashimi salad, but with rice at the bottom AND THEN mix in a ton of sweet gochujang in there. A good balance, and they didn't skimp on the portion/quality of fish! Loved the tuna!“

“Efficient service, delicious sushi and Saki.“

“Everything great except for the pork 😔“

“Sushi O Sushi is amazing!! We usually drop in for lunch and a couple times for dinner. We get the bento boxes with teryaki chicken, California rolls, and sashimi (tuna or salmon) the miso soup is great and the salad with that delicious dressing is perfect. We always stop here and you shoukd definitely give it a try.“

“place is awesome. quick and tasty“

“Pretty great rolls here at KAI Japanese Restaurant. Had their chicken bento as well which was fine, a bit better then some places honestly but their scallop roll was fantastic.

Pricing wise their about what you expect for a Japanese restaurant in the area so worth a try for sure.“

“Great food and the staff is friendly the environment is spectacular“

“great customer service, very polite and attentive. ありがとございます！“

“Not sure if they're part of Fugetsu or if they're just the ones who make the food but regardless they are fantastic.

Not a lot of places that make onigiris around here surprisingly but this place is the best I've been to.

Pricing isn't too high but is a bit more then other spots but the quality is worth it. Would get their salmon onigiris for sure.“

“Great menu and terrific service. You will not be disappointed!“

“Fugetsu is a world wide chain of okonomiyaki. In fact, Rokko/Fugetsu has the first location of Fugetsu in the whole US.

Always a good vibe here and possibly the only place to get okonomiyaki in the Bay Area like they do it in Japan. Huge menu and drink selection with the shared Rokko and Fugetsu menu. I like the okonomiyaki sampler a ton as well. Portions are huge for this dish and everything else on the menu.“

“Very authentic flavors, reminded me of the times I ate at the ryoutei style restaurants in Japan! サーモンハラスの塩焼き - Grilled salmon belly 生うどん - Fresh udon noodle soup ユズ香る茶碗蒸し - Egg custard with yuzu with crab sauce on top イイダコの唐揚げ - Deep fried mini octopus“

“YUM! We love Rokko! Lovely restaurant, great food and a wonderful staff. Happy we have this restaurant in DT Sunnyvale. 😀“

“The place had a long queue and we waited about 30 minutes to get in. Credit to the staff for managing the waitlist well. They didn’t turn anyone away, even after their official closing time.

The food was good, but not quite worth such a long wait. Most dishes came with a lot of rice, so even a single dish can be quite filling. Service was fast once we were seated.“

“Our favorite sushi spot in the Bay Area! The sushi is authentic Japanese style and the taste is always on point. The owner is very kind, checks in with your table during your dinner, and served us miso soup on the house for the busy wait time. We always come once a month :) thank you for the positive experience and delicious food always!“

“Great food and very tasty!! Staff are very friendly!! Highly recommended!!!“

“You have to come here! My husband and I loved everything we ate. Our 5 year old got the kids chicken teriyaki w. the california roll. It's a big portion, you might even be able to split this between two younger kids if you wanted. We all ended up trying the Cali Roll and loved it. Our 10 year old ordered the Nabe Udon. It's definitely big enough to share as well. The waitress was kind enough to bring us two extra bowls and spoons. The broth was AMAZING. We also had the gyoza, and the dragon eye roll. The dragon eye roll was absolutely delicious. The service was also great. All of the waitresses that worked there were very nice and did a great job of checking on us.“

“We ordered 2 of the garlic beef sizzling plate (3.5 stars )and one sizzling veggie side(3.5stars)

I had this sizzling hot plate experience previously in a different chain Singapore and loved it rated 4-5 stars (depending on different locations)

I felt this one was only ok
There wasn't a lot of meat and the rice on the hot plate became a bit too crispy/dry and overall it was not well seasoned so I needed to add a lot of garlic soy sauce (which was delicious). The beef plate here was bland (and unfortunately I must compare. The other restaurant in Singapore had meat and veggies on hot plate and rice on side. It was just more food, better quality and much more flavorful) so I had to give this a lower score bc I've had better.

The service was excellent and restaurant clean and modern.

I probably won't come back.“

“Great food, fast service!“

“We had a great lunch, so yummy and fresh foods. We love the taste so much especially their garlic rice very recommendable to all of you guys who wants to try a japanese food that’s really satisfied your cravings, so come and dine in.“

“Our family loves Sumiya Bento in Milpitas. We eat here all the time. Once a week if possible! The food quality and service has always been consistently top notch!

We have also ate at the Sumiya Bento location in Santa Clara several times, but we prefer the Milpitas location! The skewers at the Milpitas location has always been juicy and cooked just right. For some reason everytime we eat the skewers at their Santa Clara location it has been dry and too charred/burnt. Not sure why.

So definitely give Sumiya Bento Milpitas a try! You won't regret it.“

“This was my 4th time here at sushi jin- it's truly our favorite omakase in the area, we can't stay away! we always receive great service here, and the fish is so fresh. we especially love getting the ankimo, it's always delicious. highly recommend!!“

“This place has delicious food, amazing service and really hit the spot on a Saturday afternoon. Their lunch menus are still available on the weekends. We ordered the sashimi, soba and assorted yakitori. Not sure how it’s possible but it was like every dish was better than the last.“

“Best Tempura donburi in the Bay Area!! You can always request to have Tempura lunch/dinner instead of donburi too!“

“great service and food. beautiful coy pond as well“

“Eat there!! It’s great!!!“
