8 Best Japanese Restaurants in Daly City

“We had an amazing dining experience! The food was fantastic, and the host was incredibly friendly and helpful. We followed his recommendations and ordered the chef’s choice bowl, sushi tacos, salad, and toro—and he was absolutely right. Everything was so delicious, I nearly swallowed my tongue! I think my favorite was the sushi tacos—they were out of this world. Highly recommend!“

“This place has been here for ages and I tried it for the first time not too long ago. The food was tasty - I've only tried their sushi rolls but everything I've tried has been solid so far. Service was efficient and parking is super easy (free garage nearby). It's a good spot if you're going to the movies or wanting a but after seeing one.“

“So delicious!!!!!! I stumbled upon Kunugi Noodle at the Clement St Farmer's Market. I had the Sweet Fried Tofu Udon and it was so good––I even had a total stranger ask me while I was eating where I got my noodles because I looked so happy eating them lmao. If you're a fan of classic udon noodles stop by here!“

“I have never written a public review for a restaurant before but the ramen here is absolutely incredible. Much better than Japan town in SF. I only wish more of this store is around. Parking is better than Japan town, flavor is incredible. Highly recommend!!“

“I can’t even describe this place! The food is so good and delicious. It was so fresh and clean at the restaurant and I was very pleased with our food!“

“I was so happy to find this truck in the empty lot next to Tselogs. I love Benihana so when I saw the Hibachi truck with all their offerings I was so happy. My favorite is the filet mignon plate! They ask you how you like the meat cooked. You get mushrooms and vegetables with the plate and delicious ice cooked in the fat and butter of the meat and veggies! So tasty and flavorful! They give you hibachi sauce which is a spicy thousand islands, not my favorite wish they had the sauce of Benihana. They also give a buttery sauce, maybe they should add garlic and herbs to the butter to make it tastier since it tastes like plain butter to me. Also got the filet mignon and scallop plate, the scallops cooked a little too much so left it dry. Hopefully they have better dipping sauces but for about $35 it's a very hearty and filling meal. You get good quality ingredients! Will continue supporting them!“

“We were shopping at the skyline plaza and saw this restaurant inside the mall. But most importantly, they had both okonomiyaki and ramen. We ordered beef modan okonomiyaki and tonkatsu ramen. The okonomiyaki was good but a bit bland. It was loaded with bonita flakes, had a runny egg in the middle with a lot of noodles and the beef pancake. We did enjoy it but it just didn’t have the intensity of Okonomiyaki in Japan. Similarly, the ramen was adequate and the noodles were fresh and chewy. The broth was a bit bland and one dimensional. The service was excellent and attentive. If I could rate the food to one decimal point, it would be 3.8 with service a 5 and atmosphere a 3.0.“

“This is our regular Japanese restaurant that we come regularly. I usually order unagy fried rice, veggie dragon and caterpillar to share. My husband usually order a bento box with chicken karaage and beef teriyaki while mom would have a bento box of salmon teriyaki and chicken teriyaki. It’s always good. Considering we are regulars, the waitress was very surprised when we ordered the following. Today we ordered veggie tempura (yummy), miso ramen, honey tonkatsu ramen, and mother ordered Charshu ramen. Not bad. Soup was not salty and it was enough.
