16 Best Japanese Restaurants in Cupertino

“Dined in today and November of last year. Great food especially the side dishes! Also loved the nice ambiance of the place.“

“I don't usually post reviews of restaurants I've only been to once but I was rather surprised by the experience considering I had no expectations coming in for a place we picked out just because it was close. We came here with a 1 year old so we ordered a variety of things but what stood out to me was the simple plate of salmon slices. Of all the sashimi orders we had, this was the only one to have a side of real wasabi, still on top of the grater no less. I can count on one hand the number of random Japanese restaurants I've been to that actually offer real, grated wasabi (not counting fine dining establishments or places in Japan itself). I'm not sure why it was included in only this dish but not the others that had the standard green horseradish but I'll have to find out for next time.

We also ordered the kaki fry (deep fried oyster) and it came with the standard dipping sauces which I didn't think much of until I tried the tartar sauce. I exclaimed to my wife how that one "throwaway" sauce could have been its own thing based on how good it was. It was a more egg-forward tartar than most places at a time when most restaurants are cutting back on ingredients to cut costs.

It's little details like these that make me give this restaurant provisional full marks until we go back at least a second time to try more of the menu.“

“Great food and experience!“

“Great for a quick and casual meal! Everything comes on a sizzling hot iron cast plate and you cook the protein yourself. My recommendations are the garlic beef pepper rice and Kimchi beef pepper rice. I usually add soy miso, shichimi togarashi, and black pepper for more flavor. Careful not to add too much at once and mix as you go. Enjoy!“

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

“謝謝好吃的晚餐！“

“Uzumakiya is located nearby TPTea.Parking is around the lot but in front of the store maybe hardOverall a great sit-down Udon experience. The waiters were very attentive and very friendly.Their plating is great and aesthetically pleasing.Udon and karaage were very pleasant and very filling as wellOverall would recommend!“

“Very excellent service with Zara I will come tayo I mega mall“

“Great Japanese restaurant overall.Had the tonkatsu combo meal and the tonkatsu was crispy and the paired sauce was good. Also had the sashimi which tasted above average and were pretty generously sized.Only minor thing I didn't like was the salad wasn't mixed that well so some pieces had too much dressing.The restaurant decor seemed decent and everything looked quite clean. I'm not sure why it isn't as full as places across the street.“

“Very Good for dinner for my family“

“When we think sushi, we come here and we are never disappointed. The fish is fresh and the rolls are proportioned well. As for the omakase platter, it really is ALL that and more!! Compared to other places that serve ‘chef choice’ sushi, this place wins the prize.

The staff is very friendly and checks on you often. The staff to customer ratio seems higher than other places - perhaps that’s why the service is quick and accurate.

We enjoy our dining experience every time and satisfy our sushi fix!“

“A random, last minute find on a Friday night with no wait and can accommodate a party of two with an infant in a carseat.
Quaint and no frills restaurant with omakase. Our omakase sashimi order was about 107 dollars, a bit pricey and presentation was not very impressive but every bite was so fresh! Their miso soup was quite delightful, better than most miso soup I’ve had.

Kid-friendliness: We brought our infant in a carseat in, placed the carseat on a chair and tucked it between the wall and the table. I see other families with small kids dining comfortably there too.“

“I appreciate the they maintained high quality of sashimi, freshness of fish and beautiful cut according to the nature of the fish.“

“Order here all the time and the food is consistently good (have had some issues here and there). Going in person to eat there is a little confusing because it appears to be 2 restaurants in the same space and there was nobody there to direct us. Worked out in the end, was just confusing.“

“Amazing! One of the best restaurants in Cupertino“

“Good selection of healthy foods. Their beef is so tender . Fried rice is to die for. The chef Heli is so professional, very precise and amiable. Our waitresses/server , Maya, was so pleasant and attentive to guests . Next time I go back I have to try their seafood selections. My only complaint is the location . It should be out there along Stevens Creek like in Santana Row rather than hidden in that dark corner of the complex. But definitely I will recommend it to my friends.“
