50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Campbell

“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.“

“Great food and service as always“

“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.“

“We were seated immediately with reservation eventhough many places still have you waiting in a queue. Lucky was our server for lunch and he provided amazing service. Great location for outdoor dining as well. If you're craving Sushi give this spot a try for sure.“

“friendly staff, monstrous upon great broth“

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

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

“Fantastic little poke spot in Milpitas. Friendliest owners I've ever met, and the toppings are fresh and delicious. You start by picking your base: sushi rice, brown rice, or greens, then add your proteins with variety such was spicy salmon, tuna, shrimp, tilapia, tuna salad, tofu, etc. You can choose a spice level, and additional toppings such as edamame, corn, seaweed salad (so good), macaroni salad, crab, etc. I love to add spicy mayo and yuzu ponzo, plus eel sauce. Do not pass this place up!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food 🍱 Great Service“

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

“Shabu Time is a fantastic choice for hot pot lovers! The ingredients are always fresh, and there’s an impressive variety of meats, vegetables, and broths so you can build your meal exactly the way you like it. Everything tastes great, and the customization makes it fun.

Pricing is very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, so it always feels like a good value.

What really sets this place apart is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick to help, which makes the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The space is cozy, so weekends can get busy, but it’s worth the wait. If you’re looking for a welcoming spot with fresh food and excellent service, Shabu Time is a must-try!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our first time here and everything was delicious! We had the garlic edamame, salmon express and the spicy tails rolls and the salmon with lemon dill nigiri. So good!“

“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.“

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

“Efficient service, delicious sushi and Saki.“

“I love onigilly and this place has made it accessible to just get one when I needed it. This would be more 3rd or 4th visit at this point. Last night while at Valley Fair I suddenly felt faint-ish from hunger/lack of food. We were at Men's Macy's to shop for my husband but I had not expected to be there that long. From a distance inside Macy's, I could see the exit to the mall (planning my escape route - just kidding). I knew a onigilly could solve my hangry problem. I actually was prepared to pay approx $10 for one as that was what I recall paying before....but it was surprisingly a good price at around $3.99 (so I ordered two, to give one to the hubs). And then I got a reward to claim so when I added that reward one of my onigilly was credited. That was a nice surprise. Besides the pricing the onigilly was yummy and the seaweed crunchy. I got the tuna. It was a good proportion of rice to tuna. The line wasn't that bad, one person ahead of me. It was at around 8 pm.“

“We went early as they opened and service was quick and straight to the point. The lady who helped was very helpful and efficient checking up on us.

The food was great and really enjoyed their sushi despite not liking seafood very much. My favorite entree from this is the Ton Katsu that includes Miso Soup, Salad and White Rice.

The atmosphere was great nothing too fancy but very authentic. The important part was it being clean and it very much was!

Highly recommend just make sure you arrive while they are open cause their hours are strict.“

“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.“

“Everything great except for the pork 😔“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“place is awesome. quick and tasty“

“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. 😀“

“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!“

“We just moved back to the area and glad to see that Tanto’s still doing good and now serving LUNCH even! Went for lunch today and the food and service was excellent. The food was fresh and you can tell everything was made with intention. I like that Tanto gives classic Japanese food vibes and it feels like you’re transported to Japan for a nice comfort meal. Can’t wait to try more items on their menu.“

“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic food and excellent service. We celebrated our Birthdays tonight, and the staff is amazing. Love their salmon sashimi and megura. Kyiv roll and honey walnut rolls were also delicious!“

“Fresh food and good taste. One of pocket restaurants.“

“First time trying this chain restaurant. Pretty good first impression with speedy service by the young and energetic staff. Food is ordered via the QR code and came out piping hot in a few minutes. Tasty dishes just be careful not to burn your tongue!! Reasonable prices. Can recommend.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Some friends from work brought up this place to meet up and so we did afterwards and after seeing the pictures it really piqued my interest and I was happy to drop by because I really enjoyed my dish. I just had to add some more seasoning to it. But I definitely will go back“

“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!!“

“edamame is bomb and so delicious. and service is the best“
