27 Best Japanese Restaurants in Fremont

“The sushi portions are generous and satisfying, and the atmosphere is great—comfortable and inviting. However, the service is lacking and could be more attentive. Overall, good food and ambiance, but the service could be better. Only reason not giving a 5 ⭐“

“This sushi restaurant its so good! The deluxe uni handball is SUPER tasty. I could have eaten 50 of them.

We ordered soft shell crab, which was a smaller crab than I am typically used to at ither places, but it still tasted good and had a nice crunchy texture.

The mix tempura was probably the best tempura I've had ever. The texture was light and crispy and not soggy at all (which is very easy for it to get).

Then we ordered chicken udon for our 3 year old, who lodged the noodles and broth.

We ordered the Deluxe sashimi as our main dish and it was absolutely delicious! I loved the ice underneath the radish to keep the sashimi cold (my daughter loved it too and kept eating it).

They gave us edaname beans and green tea ice cream complementary which was nice before abd after the meal.

I highly recommend!“

“Ramen Arashi is easily one of my new favorite spots in Fremont. The food is legit. I ordered the Arashi ramen and it was super flavorful — rich broth without being too heavy, and the chashu was soft and tender. The noodles had the perfect chew, and the bowl came out piping hot, which I loved.

I also tried the karaage and it surprised me. Super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and not greasy at all. Portion size was really generous too. Even the side toppings were fresh and well-seasoned.

Service was fast and friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. I already want to go back and try more from the menu. If you’re anywhere near Fremont and craving ramen, this spot is a must-try.“

“This Japanese tsukemen restaurant is really impressive. Whether it is the food, environment or service, it is full of sincerity. It is highly recommended!

First of all, their tsukemen are so delicious. The noodles are chewy and chewy, cooked just right, neither too soft nor too hard, and can absorb the rich dipping sauce perfectly. The soup has rich flavors, with a strong flavor of fish meat and tonkotsu. It is thick but not overly greasy, and every bite is full of concentrated delicious flavor. The accompanying barbecued pork meat is soft and tender, the fat is evenly distributed, and melts in your mouth, making the whole bowl of tsukemen even more delicious. In addition, the store also provides extra stock, which can be added with dipping sauce to turn into soup after eating the noodles. Such details make people feel the charm of authentic Japanese tsukemen.

The atmosphere inside the store is also quite great, the decoration is simple and full of Japanese style, and the lighting is warm and soft, creating a comfortable dining environment. The seats are well spaced so you won't feel crowded, and the background music is soft Japanese melodies, allowing you to relax and enjoy your food.

The most commendable thing is the attentive service of the clerk. From entering to ordering and serving, every detail is attentive. The clerk is kind and polite, and will also explain how to eat the meal, making people feel enthusiastic and professional. Overall, this restaurant not only has delicious tsukemen, but the overall dining experience is also very enjoyable. It is definitely worth a try and will make you want to come back again and again!“

“It's small, so the wait for a dine in table can take a bit, but the food quality is worth the wait. Our family has loved everything we have tried. this is one of a handful of local restaurants my 10 year old some will never complain about!“

“Let me tell yall something. If you love burritos and love spice, YOU BETTER GET THE FLAMING BURRITO CUZ OMGGGG I’m actually blown away, this is the best burrito I ever had and it’s my first time coming here. The truck looks so nice and it had many drinks and sauces. I’m trying the quesadillas next ✌️and free chips btw?“

“Very refined modern takes on Japanese food. The food is first class, service is great, and love the sake! Considering the incredible quality of the food, the price is very reasonable. If all you want is your typical California Rolls ect, this is not the place. You get a wonderful Omakase menu here. Definitely recommend Soho for those looking for great, and non-typical Japanese food.“

“Simply the best in Fremont“

“Food was excellent. No complaints about the dishes and the large variety of choices. Caterpillar and Pink Lady roll were tasty and the latter, spicy. The unagi and chirashi bowl had a decent amount of food and was filling without needing additional appetizers. Kids plate with salmon and chicken were tasty as well.
It wasn't clear, but the lunch bento is only available M-F. We went on a Sunday after 2pm.

The only complaint is that the service, while better in the latter half, was a little slow at the beginning since there was only a single waiter. There were 3 tables at the time and the waiter was not available when we wanted to request a glass of water for the table. It was understandably slow after the lunch rush though. We wanted ice water to be available because it was hot for the day. Roughly 88 degF. Minor gripe, so not a real issue. Waitstaff made up for it later by being attentive and general availability.

Low noise volume. Couldn't hear the other patrons. Food came out quick after ordering.

Clean restroom. Large rooms and tables to handle about 30 to 40 people easily. Not that many large tables. Largest one I saw was 6 people tables. You can push them together if you have larger group.

Commercial center area is new to me. Haven't been to Warm Springs much.“

“We love coming here as a family. The staff are very kid-friendly. The food is good, although the traditional sushi are better than that modern ones. Their traditional sushi and sashimi are very good.Our kids ask to go to Satomi all the time!“

“Great find and will be back often … loved everything about this place“

“Great people and good food.“

“We come here almost every week. Most of the time I just pick one of the grill fish from the daily specials on the wall - I like all of them !
The sushi and especially the hand-roll from the wall list are also good. Highly recommend this place.“

“With the server speaks both Mandarin, Cantonese and English in wonderful fluent level. I could tell many customers around my table are having a great time. That puts a positive and exciting atmosphere for the night immediately, we ordered lobster sushi, Hokkaido scallops, and sweet shrimp especially by seeing the tempting picture online. It did not disappoint at all with the huge portion of meat. Not only that, their salmon roll became a new favorite for my son who never liked cold food. We truly appreciate the caring female server who helped us tirelessly throughout the evening.“

“An surprisingly great underrated Ramen spot. A short walk from my parent’s was this tiny no frills Ramen and Tea restaurant. Dude was playing smooth Jazz. Cool artwork on the walls, plus the low key mess from working made it amazing. I felt like was some unassuming Tokyo suburb that simply serves great food.“

“Amazing place for yakitori food, chef Sherman really knows quality and simplicity for yakitori food. I highly recommend this place especially when you get togethers with great friends. 5 stars out of 5“

“Better than the sushi you would get at a buffet style restaurant, but likely not as good as your favorite Japanese restaurant, sake2me sushi in Fremont is one of the all you can order and eat( AYCE)restaurants in the SF Bay area.

You have 3 rounds to order from, and with each round, a pair of diners can order 4 rolls and 10 orders (2 pieces per order) of nigiri sushi. So technically, two people could order 12 rolls and 30 orders of nigiri sushi. I think that's how it works.

Anyway, the sushi was made to order and looks good. Taste and quality wise, I'd give it a 7.8 out 10. Others may have a different opinion

Portions are smaller than average, but if you can manage to eat 4 rolls and 30 pieces of nigiri sushi in one sitting, portion size becomes somewhat irrelevant. The menu is expansive, and there is a lot to choose from.
Service is efficient and friendly. Parking is easy.

Sake2me isn't cheap, but neither are its sushi offerings. I would say it's a good value, especially for those with large appetites. Just don't set your expectations too high.“

“Top notch beef sliced and ready for grill. Authentic Japnese groceries and dishes to purchase. Can't wait for the new Foster City store so I won't have to drive to Fremont. Price of meat is slightly on the higher side, but the quality is hands down worth it. Drove 45 minutes to the store because the quality is so good.“

“absolutely the best sushi I've had in a long time! the staff is super friendly, I will definitely be going back!“

“The ladies here were awesome! I was Short change I had to run back to my car with a line full of people they just put my transaction on hold. Then when I got back into to finish paying and went to go walk out the door I dropped one of my plates which shattered and went everywhere and instead of the manager or the employee being rude both of them laughed it off made me feel totally okay about it which I still don't feel okay about it the manager then cleaned it up while the other girl made me another bowl was an entire line behind me. I can't remember the girl's name I did ask for it though and she was so willing to give it to me however I give this place five stars for the customer service alone they were both really awesome also it was my birthday and neither one of those girls knew that and they really made my birthday.“

“Delicious🍣 first time going there ☺️“

“Wonderful assortment of yum yo choice from! Clean place and Courteous Assistance 🤙🏼“

“Inside of the food hall, there are three stalls. Capture for coffee, YaDaebak! for appetizer, breakfast, or entree, and Smochi for mochi donut. The black sesame latte was so good! We got the Egg & Bulgogi breakfast rice bowl from YaDaebak and for $9, portions were generous and delicious. For a person that has always been meh about mochi don't, got a new perspective and experience through their chocolate with white chocolate swirl. The staffs are really nice and if you don't know what to get, just ask. Love the cleanliness of the space, too.“

“A good place to taste Korean and Japanese cuisine with a twist.“

“The sushi was good, beautifully presented. The jalapenos were hot tonight.

It is busy. We lucked out and had no wait but we did see people have to wait outside after us. The servers are hard to catch because they're busy, but they're good. However the kitchen is forgetful. We ordered gyoza and agedashi tofu. But we had to ask for them 3 times!

Also it's stuffy in the back corner with no AC or air circulation.“

“Si, lo recomiendo la comida es 10 de 10 y el lugar es muy limpio y son muy a tentos con el per sonal así que no lo dudes en venir te lo recomiendo sal dras feliz y satisfecho“
