50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Campbell

“This is a good Japanese restaurant as the food is really good. We got the chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura Bento box for lunch. Everything was cooked perfectly ! It's been a couple years since I've been here. We will be back !“

“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.“

“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....“

“I'm a wagyu enthusiast, and while I generally think wagyu is not worth it in hot pot. The ayce and happy hour options make it worth it.

Psa, do NOT order the sushi. I wouldn't order it even if it was free. It does not look like the image, and it tastes like low quality fish“

“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!“

“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 !!“

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

“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!“

“I’ve never had more delicious sushi anywhere else. This has been my favorite sushi spot for years. The fish is always incredibly fresh, and everything is beautifully prepared. I also love that one of the sushi chefs is a Japanese woman, it adds to the authentic experience. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Pretty solid. Quick service. Really attentive. We went when it was a bit slower so it was a little awkward with them hovering by, but I get it. Lots of options the ayce is kind of pricey but if you're coming hungry I think it's worth it. Really appreciate the condiments already being at the table for sauces. Would definitely come back, but maybe for happy hour, for the price discount.“

“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!!“

“Best Kaiseki I've had outside of Japan. Food was high quality, flavorful and well balance between traditional/simple and creative. Their sashimi, grouper Owan, and A5 rice bowl were incredible. The only bad bite I had was the raw scallop (too fishy). On the downsides, the meal starts 30 mins past the appointment time, and took over 3.5 hours due to slow pacing.

Big plus for having a good sake collection at a reasonably fair price.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Been here several times over the years, not nearly as much as I would like as I don’t live close enough. The food is always excellent, whether it’s the traditional skewers or their rotating more creative bites. And, I’m a sucker for Yaki Onigiri and theirs is excellent. As is the rice bowl side that comes with the perfectly cooked runny egg yolk. These space is a small so definitely recommend reservations during peak hours.

Service is very prompt and friendly.“

“Everything great except for the pork 😔“

“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!“

“Really enjoyed this spot! We got a few dishes to share, including sushi rolls, grilled short ribs, and some fried appetizers. Everything came out nicely presented and tasted fresh. The sushi roll was my favorite flavorful, saucy, and had a good mix of textures. The short ribs were also really tasty and well grilled.

Overall, great casual dinner spot with solid portions and good food. I’d definitely come back for the rolls and grilled meats.“

“Friendly, fast service. Comfortable seating and clean, lovely decor. Pleasant music and atmosphere. The food was delicious and freshly made. The tempura coating was crisp without being oily. Good amount of food for the price. Planning to return for sure!“

“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.“

“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’d like to call this a hidden gem in the Bay Area! The sashimi is so fresh that it has no fishy smell, and its distinctive chewy texture lingers in your mouth. The various rolls and sushi are neat and clean, but the sashimi rice bowl is a work of art! Unlike other places, the chili sauce has a harmonious balance of acidity, sweetness, and saltiness, making it a sauce that brings all the ingredients together. I also highly recommend the Nagasaki Champon. You’ll understand once you try it! The staff are friendly and skilled, so they prepare everything efficiently without you even asking. The various events are also a plus. You definitely have to visit! Highly recommended!!“

“A little late posting this since my visit was a while ago, but I still remember how much I enjoyed this place

I honestly wasn’t expecting the menu to be that big. It really felt like a proper Japanese izakaya where you can order a little bit of everything, share dishes and enjoy a few drinks without feeling rushed

We tried several things, including the grilled squid and a baked seafood dish, and both were really good. The squid was tender and flavorful, and the baked dish was rich, cheesy and perfect for sharing. There were so many other things on the menu that I wanted to try, it was honestly hard to choose lol

We also had a few drinks, which made the whole experience even better. The food, drinks and casual atmosphere all worked really well together

It didn’t feel overly trendy or too polished, just comfortable and very local. Definitely the kind of place I’d come back to with friends, order a bunch of dishes and stay for a while

Really good food, lots of variety and a fun izakaya vibe“

“Efficient service, delicious sushi and Saki.“

“At poke places, it is so important for the food to be fresh. You don't have to worry about this here. The staff is willing to help you arrange your bowl if you want any suggestions about pairings. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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！“

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

“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“

“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.“

“The shrimp battered onigiri with teriyaki sauce and a mustard tasting leaf sha-la-la on my tongue.
Came home from work and tried this… The presentation threw me off, I’ve only really had seaweed covered onigiri. And I was pretty skeptical of the taste especially because the rice looked drowned in teriyaki sauce (is it teriyaki sauce?). but when that first bite touched all my gustatory cells I was in heaven looking down at earth. The leaf separating the rice and shrimp gives the food so so so much depth. Its sweet and then a bitter and fresh taste.
This was the best surprise after work.“

“Not only was Jocelyn a great waiter she treated me
me and my table like family and she's a very beautiful awesome person I got nothing but respect and non-stop assistance from her if you're looking for somewhere to go drink and eat don't go to the downtown on the one right here in Willow Glen Jocelyn can help you“

“We came for the vegan sushi, and it was really good! There’s usually no wait, and they have plenty of seating. The atmosphere is very chill, the staff is kind, and parking is easy. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving vegan sushi!“

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

“I’ve always loved Taishoken as a brand so I was really looking forward to visiting the Milpitas location

The food was delicious as expected and I still really like the concept of their classic tsukemen with thick cold noodles and a rich warm dipping broth, the flavors are comforting and it’s one of those meals that feels satisfying without trying too hard

The menu also has a nice variety with ramen, spicy options, mazemen and small appetizers so even if someone in your group doesn’t want tsukemen there are still plenty of choices

My only concern during this visit was the service and the overall atmosphere

Nothing completely ruined the meal but the restaurant felt a little low energy and I didn’t feel the same warmth or excitement that I usually associate with this brand

The hostess seemed like she was having a difficult time and possibly trying to manage too many things at once, so I honestly felt a little bad for her, it seemed more like the front of house flow wasn’t working smoothly rather than one person simply not caring

Since they don’t take reservations and use a waitlist system I can imagine the entrance gets stressful when several groups arrive at the same time, but a little more communication and welcoming energy would make a big difference

I still enjoyed the food and I’m still a fan of Taishoken, I really want this location to do well because the quality and the brand are both there

Hopefully the service becomes a little more organized and the team can bring more energy into the dining room because with that improvement this could be a place I would happily return to again and again“

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

“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!“

“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“
