“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Consistently Amazing Sushi & Warm Hospitality!

I’ve been to Sushi Ken in Fremont several times now, and every visit has been absolutely fantastic. This place truly never disappoints. The staff—both the servers and the chefs—are always so welcoming and kind, which makes the dining experience feel extra special every time.

One of the first things I love is the free appetizer they serve right away—usually edamame, fries, or sometimes both! It’s such a fun and tasty surprise to start your meal. The sushi itself is delicious and always priced at a great value, which means I usually end up ordering several rolls (no regrets!). The best part? The service is fast—my food always comes out quickly, with hardly any wait time at all.

To top it all off, they bring you a free scoop of ice cream for dessert, which is such a thoughtful and sweet way to end the meal. It’s those little touches that make this spot stand out.
The atmosphere is also really nice—spacious, clean, and with plenty of seating. It never feels cramped or rushed. Plus, it’s located in an outdoor shopping center with plenty of parking, which makes it super convenient.

If you're in Fremont and craving sushi, Sushi Ken is a must-try. Delicious food, unbeatable value, kind service, and a welcoming space—it checks all the boxes. Highly recommend!“

“Place is clean, staff is helpful and had pleasant, smiling faces. Sushi was amazing. They have good vegetarian options. At the end of our meal they gave us green tea ice cream. It was on the house and it was delicious.

I'll definitely go back.“

“Ramen Arashi is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in years. The food, of course, was phenomenal—rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and toppings that hit every note. But what truly set this place apart was the service.

Our waitress was incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, all with a warm smile that felt so genuine. She even spoke Japanese to me! The chef, too, came out to check on our meal, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s rare to encounter people this kind and passionate about what they do.

If you’re looking for amazing ramen and an experience that leaves you feeling cared for, Ramen Arashi is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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?“

“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!“

“Simply the best in Fremont“

“Located on Warm Springs Road in Fremont, in a small strip mall. This is my new favorite Omakase sushi restaurant, featuring large cuts of high quality seafood on tiny pieces of rice. Their 10 piece Omakase sushi is an excellent value at $46! I also recommend their oyster, uni shooters, which is served on a soup spoon! Delicious mix of flavors, seasoned with fish eggs and ponzu sauce. By the way, they provide freshly grated Japanese wasabi, not the artificial horseradish.“

“Great people and good food.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“This unassuming restaurant is located in a strip mall across a local community college. The ramen was absolutely delicious, and is by far, one of the best ramen bowls I’ve ever eaten! I really appreciate that every component of the soup was perfectly cooked: the texture and flavor of the egg and pork slice, the noodles, the incredibly fragrant black garlic oil and miso broth, and perfectly marinated bamboo slices.

The interior was clean, and nicely decorated. There’s soft jazz music playing in the background which helps set the tone for a relaxing atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient.“

“Fun Japanese grocery store in the east bay in a bleak suburban location - I definitely feel bad for all the Asian people who have to experience america like this! No public Transportation to speak of except for a bus and at the mouth of a freeway! Eek!!!! 😱
Groceries are great and they have a little food court but it’s a great place to get natto and seaweed products from Japan. Stuff is ultra casual, Fremont seems to have this ultra sweat pants dress code where everyone behind the register dresses down… waayyy down. It’s like Wayne’s world sweatpants and puffer jackets with gym shorts. Legit saw folks walking around in pajamas, quite a contrast from Japan. The toys area is very cute, and I like how the grocery store sets up sales areas like you’re in a literal traditional marketplace with festive stands. The only downer is the suburban area but that’s america for you.“

“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.“

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

“Literally the BEST poke I have EVER had in the Bay Area PERIOD. Genuinely wasn't expecting much but the old lady there PACKED MY BOWL (it could barely even CLOSE). They were NOT playing about their portions and it was 10/10 worth the price. On my soul I will be back. They also gave two medium-sized mango-jasmine tea drinks for FREE?? IN THIS ECONOMY??? People there are so nice and awesome too please go and support this local business asap“

“Satomi - Thornton. Went here around 2pm Saturday. No wait and got our food and drinks right away. Fast friendly service. We ordered Tempura mixed, Satomi roll, Japanese cowboy, Spicy crunchy, and Fremont. All orders were flavorful and fresh.“

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

“Delicious🍣 first time going there ☺️“

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

“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.“

“Delicious variety of seafood.“
