50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Campbell

“Great food and service as always“

“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 !“

“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 had everything veg here and all vegetarian sushi rolls.
Except Sherlock Sushi everything was amazing and very different. I personally would not prefer cream cheese in my sushi hence Sherlock rolls were not tht great.

Must try mango sriracha rolls! 5/5
The mushroom bao buns were amazing too! 5/5

Loved the Akon playlist being played that night! 💃 very nostalgic for millennials :D“

“Had a great experience at Mikiya! The food was delicious, especially the Wagyu and shabu-shabu. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere was really nice.

Special thanks to Thura, our server! He was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service overall, and I’d definitely come back again!“

“friendly staff, monstrous upon great broth“

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

“This has been my favorite Japanese restaurant since it opened almost 10 years ago. I have since moved to Sacramento but every time I’m in San Jose I make sure to stop by. The food is delicious, authentic, and the staff is kind and hard working. You MUST try Sanraku“

“Amazing food 🍱 Great Service“

“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 !!“

“Efficient service, delicious sushi and Saki.“

“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!“

“We were in town to get a present and of course we had to stop and get a box of our goodies we used to get every Friday. Great that you can now order before coming into town. Always really good“

“The restaurant has an unobtrusive storefront, and opens at the start of the single seating dinner service. The evening’s guests are comfortably seated in a single row at the counter, where we can see the finishing touches applied to each dish, and the team gives helpful descriptions and background context for the dishes.

This was an exceptional dining experience, each course was prepared thoughtfully with vibrant flavorful ingredients, artfully arranged and appealing to all the senses. Portioning was just right, to where you leave satisfied but not over-full. We tried a couple of the drinks, and the fizzy peach sake cocktail with a hint of shiso was superb. The sake offerings were also very smooth.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone with a hearty appreciation for good food. Conversely, picky or demanding children would be best left at home. I saw the team try to handle such a situation with patience and kindness, but I don’t think either side of that interaction enjoyed it. It should go without saying that an exquisite set menu prepared by a two person team might have room for adjustments if informed in advance, but doesn’t have room to make many changes on the spot for the whims of a demanding child.

This was one of the most delicious and memorable meals I’ve had all year! Also the bathroom was really nice, the toilet has some clearly-labeled bidet and flush controls on the wall by the toilet paper that some guests seemed to have missed entirely.“

“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“

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

“We had an absolutely incredible dining experience here, largely thanks to our amazing server, Yoshi! Originally from Tokyo, Yoshi brought an incredible energy to our table. Her attentive and warm demeanor completely elevated our entire evening.What truly made the night special was how personable Yoshi was. She took the genuine time to get to know us, making us feel like valued friends rather than just another table. Since we are interested in Japan, she even graciously practiced some Japanese with us. She taught us a few phrases and shared local insights with so much patience and enthusiasm.Her level of service was flawless. Yoshi anticipated every need before we even had to ask. It is rare to find someone who balances professional, top-tier service with such authentic, heartfelt connection.Thank you, Yoshi, for making our night so memorable! We will definitely be back and will be asking for your section again!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Finally, healthy and genuinely good food in a shopping mall! Onigilly is very clean and well-maintained, but most importantly, the food is both delicious and healthy.

I also want to give a special mention to the miso soup. It’s truly nutritious, satisfying, and very reasonably priced.

Yes, you may have to wait a little, but I’m happy to wait for fresh, healthy food. The menu is easy to navigate, and the touchscreen makes ordering simple and convenient.

Highly recommend giving Onigilly a try. Thank you to the Onigilly team for bringing a great healthy option to the mall!“

“I love onigiri, so I was very excited to stumble upon Onigilly. I had visions of warm, freshly hand-formed onigiri—similar to what you might find at Omusubi Gonbei—but unfortunately, this wasn’t quite that experience.

The onigiri here is clearly more of a fast-casual, streamlined version. The rice is machine-formed and pre-pressed into triangles, with the filling sandwiched inside before being wrapped in seaweed. So if you’re looking for that rustic, handmade feel, this probably isn’t the place.

That said, it’s difficult to mess up an onigiri. The rice was room temp, slightly mushed but did not take away from the the fillings which were flavorful, and the seaweed still had a nice crunch rather than becoming soggy. It may not be the most gourmet or homemade-style onigiri, but it definitely satisfies the craving—and the convenience is a plus.

Overall, I’d come back when I’m craving onigiri and want something quick and easy, just with the right expectations going in.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Sushi is good. Worth waiting twenty to thirty minutes to get the best sushi in San Jose, California. I live in Fresno and on my way to Sacramento I stopped by at dinner time and ate sushi with my friends. This place is authentic Japanese home style food. I like their Chicken Katsu and Salmon. I ask if they use farm raised salmon and they say yes. Anyway, this place hit the spot. Will be visiting on my way home again. Thank you Sushi Kan and Chef Eric.“

“Taichi Pot Shabu Shabu offers an exceptional dining experience! The quality of the ingredients is outstanding, with fresh vegetables and premium meats that cook perfectly in the flavorful broth. The interactive dining style is not only fun but also allows for personalized meal creation. The staff is friendly and helpful, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Whether you're a shabu-shabu veteran or a first-timer, Taichi Pot is a must-visit.“

“Cleanly renovated by the new owner, the place now has very nice ambiance! Service was reasonable. Perhaps it would have been better if our arrival was not so close to their closing time.

The food was okay. Sashimi seemed well agrd and tasty. Pieces were good size also. The other stuff needs some improvement. The combo tempura were quite greasy. I wonder if the temperature of the frying grease was not high enough to result in crispy, non-greasy coating.

Reasonable value for lunch. Dinner price would diminish the value if the food is about the same.“

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

“Everything great except for the pork 😔“

“The Saba Shioyaki combo is really good, one of the best ones I’ve had in California for years. It even outshines the unagi a bit, waaat..

The fact that this place has both good quality authentic Japanese food and reasonable pricing is insane. Will definitely come 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.“

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

“We were a group of 6 all visiting for the first time and we loved it! 5 out of 6 of us did the Omakase tasting. All the courses were delicious and all of the folks there are amazing and welcoming! I highly recommend Sushi Jin. It is great spot and we will go back again.“

“Gaku Yakitori is a very solid spot in the Bay Area. Sister restaurant to Sumiya, and I’ve been coming for years.
Charcoal is the reason to go. Skewers off the binchotan have that smoke a gas grill never gets. Uni don was good too, though it didn’t make the photo. Sake list is nice if beer isn’t the move.
Staff is friendly and accommodating. Room is small, so call ahead. Definite go-to izakaya.“

“Great food, fast service!“

“TANTO Japanese Restaurant was a wonderful dining experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, with each dish feeling thoughtfully made. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I really enjoyed the meal and would definitely come back again!“

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

“First time here and be warned, if you ask for the spicy version of food it will be spicy!! Food was delicious. Service was quick. Service was very friendly. Wish they had more drink options. Their ordering system can be a bit funky but the staff are friendly and can help clear things up, that was my experience. I also think it would be helpful if they had a guide for how spicy their food really is. I will be coming back by not ordering spicy. Ha ha“

“My favorite place to get sushi in the South Bay! Kamakura is so generous with their portions, and the prices are incredible for the quality of fish you’re getting. Everything tastes so fresh, and it’s easily one of my favorite spots to keep coming back to. A must visit for any sushi lover IMO!“

“I was looking for a sushi place the other day and found Kai Sushi or maybe it found me. Let’s just call it destiny but hands down it’s now my favorite sushi spot. Service is amazing. The aesthetics of the place is great. The food was the best part. Every dish I had (sushi, gyoza, nigiri) was amazingly fresh, it tasted amazing. I don’t like eel very much but the Chard eel on the dragon roll was so good it changed my mind on eel. I liked this place so much I had to bring my brother with me for round 2 and it was just as good as the first time. If you’re in the area it is a must stop. Did I mention how nice the hostess. She was very attentive but had a great balance of making sure we were taken care of yet still gave us our space to enjoy our meal. I will definitely be returning and making this my new sushi spot.“

“All the offerings are tasty. Sashimi is my favorite but I have enjoyed all the rolls as well. Friendly family service.“

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

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

“Was the best ramen in San Francisco. Also the best gyoza. The black pepper karaage was fantastic. Sorry to see it close the San Francisco location. I hope they are looking for a new location in SF. There are some empty store fronts on Post Street in Japantown. I hope you come back!“

“Great sushi! Must get the omakase nigiri or Toyosu special!“

“Not much to look at from the outside but lovely indoor decor and a pretty extensive menu with alcohol selections available. Trying this one for the first time, according to staff they have been here about 4 months. Today I have ordered the pork katsu bento box. Lunch special for $17.99. comes with gyoza, rice and a salad. Also includes your choice of drink. Staff let me know it would be a 10-minute wait for the food to be cooked up fresh. Actual wait time was only 7 minutes from the time my credit card was charged to me walking out the door with food in hand. Fresh and hot as promised, high quality. Enjoyed back at the office with time to spare!

I already know what I'm ordering next time you come back!“

“I had been hearing about this place for months and finally made it in. The Yoshi special roll is everything people said it was. Fresh fish, clean presentation, flavors that actually complement each other. Chef Charly was working and clearly puts care into every roll that comes out of that kitchen. The place was tidy and the service was warm. Lived up to the hype.“
