27 Best Japanese Restaurants in Fremont

“Stopped by Sushi Ken and was welcomed with complimentary edamame, a nice touch to start things off. Ordered the Spicy Lover sushi and it was great, exactly the right level of heat and I enjoyed it so much I ordered a second set to take home.

That's where the consistency issue comes in. The to-go order didn't have nearly as much heat as the one I had at the restaurant, which was disappointing. When something is that good you want it to be the same every time. I'd urge the restaurant to stay consistent across dine-in and to-go orders because the gap was noticeable.

Service was quick and my server was friendly throughout. The dine-in experience was solid overall and I'll definitely be back. Just hope they sort out the consistency issue because the Spicy Lover when done right is absolutely worth ordering again and again.“

“Came for a late lunch. Greeted and sat down right away. Service was very good. Food was very good. Love this little spot, i will be back. Our table ordered, agedashi tofu, spicy miso ramen, tongkatsu ramen and hamachi Don. Everything was very tasty and fresh. Only small thing is the wasabi paste could have been stronger.“

“This is a place I often visit, either by myself or with my family. In my opinion, it’s the best ramen restaurant in Fremont. The Spicy Miso Ramen and Takoyaki I ordered today are highly recommended. The flavors are always delicious, and I keep coming back!“

“Delicious food at very reasonable prices. This location can be quite busy at rush hours so I would advise coming in either early or later to avoid peak traffic. I highly recommend the beef tendon ramen unique to the shop, and the pork cartilage in tonkotsu broth is fantastic. If you're feeling hungry, you can even have both.

They also recently upgraded their noodle option, so even better all around.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Excelente calidad, me encanta toda la variedad... Super recomendable“

“Wadaya hasn't left my mind yet. I love that the noodles are thicker than Kajiken. It makes for a chewier bite which I prefer. I'd say the taste is similar to Kajiken but maybe the flavor at Kajiken is a bit better. I definitely like the noodles here more. The absolute star of the show is the tiny scoop of rice they give you at the end to mix in with your extra sauce. I wasn't a believer at first until I actually tried it. Best bite ever. Holy.“

“Stopped by for dinner after work. The fish tasted fresh and the rolls were put together well without falling apart. Service was friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. I haven't tried enough of the menu to recommend specific dishes yet, but based on this visit I'd definitely come back.“

“Simply the best in Fremont“

“Demiya has been (and still is) one of my favorite Japanese curry spots in the S.F. Bay Area, and I'm glad that the Fremont location opened so it's now a 15 minute drive rather than 30+. It's a little hidden in the food court of Ranch 99, but that makes it convenient to sit down for a meal and then get groceries afterwards (as they say, never shop hungry haha.)

Personally, I rotate between the chicken katsu curry rice, the menchi katsu curry rice, and the vegetable curry! It's not a Kanazawa style curry - it's not as thick, and has a more complex mix of flavors (in my opinion), which means you don't get tired of it. The fried toppings have been consistently juicy, and the price is very amenable as well! Service is decently fast, and overall is a good choice when you need a quick meal out! The space is counter serve, so it’s relatively sparse on decor, but it’s clean, functional, and well lit.

(The onigiris are also good for a snack at home too. I've taken to getting one or two now and then to enjoy later)“

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

“Loved the sushi here - the fish is high quality, price is good for the quality of the fish, and the ambiance is nice: clean, spacious and brightly lit.

Highly recommend the omakase: 10 pieces for $46. The presentation of the nigiri was excellent and it was all delicious.“

“I rarely write reviews but this is an absolute gem - very cozy neighborhood spot in Fremont. I’ve lived in major cities (SF, NYC, London) and eaten a lot of Japanese food - and the quality of the food here is on par if not better.

Very friendly nice staff. Anna started a convo and they’ve been open 30 years, old fashioned style (no food delivery hustle and bustle). She seems close with other customers (asking about and congratulating re: college admissions).

The food was homestyle but also polished for great value- $30 for 3 item dinner combo comes with soup and salad, $3 extra for chirashi appetizer. Veggies with the grilled items were a nice touch, and the rice was cooked well.

Will definitely become a regular spot, it should become one of yours too!“

“Great people and good food.“

“Osaka Marketplace, Fremont

Service is always great and they have a great selection of pre-made meals! They have a small food court located on the side of the supermarket, very convenient to sit down and eat.

I usually come here for their fresh rolls, Japanese bento plates and onigiris. Although still fresh, their deals for their 20% off are always a steal. I thought it was a weekday deal but found out it's daily and around 5pm.

I ended up getting their Mr. Crazy Roll which consist of sashimi salmon and uni over California rolls. It was delicious! 😋

I always love coming here for their beauty products and anything cute like Hello Kitty or random lunch bags.

A friend had asked me if they accepted EBT and currently no, they don't accept EBT as payment.

Would return and 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!“

“We were walking past this quaint place when a gentleman just walked out with a boba drink. He insisted that we go check out the place and that it’s very good. And so we went in to get something. It is a very clean and cute little place. I got a smoothie drink, it was so good. The owner of this place she’s so kind and very sweet.“

“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“

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

“Delicious🍣 first time going there ☺️“

“2027-04-29
Located across from Ohlone College so there was almost no lunchtime crowd. I was told that the busy time is after 3 PM when the students will come to eat. The place was clean and the food was OK. The service was good. I would say a solid four stars.“

“The seafood salad here was delicious, and the salmon skin was baked to a perfect crisp – it was fantastic!

The bento box took a little longer to arrive, but the salmon was grilled perfectly, although the tempura was cold .

Service is friendly and fast !“

“First visit to Stardust on a Saturday around 11 AM. There is a good amount of indoor seating. We tried the the purple moon (ube, taro, coffee), nutty by nature (black sesame, coffee), and strawberry collagen latte (strawberry puree, coffee, collagen foam). We all loved our drinks. The coffee is good and all of the flavor additions were tasty. The purple moon (ube taro) was the weakest of the bunch - it kind of tastes like an ube taro flavor you might get in milk tea so not very strong and generic. However, the nutty by nature was well balanced between the coffee and black sesame flavor. I could taste the black sesame, which was important to me. The strawberry latte was surprisingly good - I don't often think of coffee and strawberry being a combo. Overall, would definitely recommend coming here for coffee. There are food options as well but we didn't try any.“

“I have had sushi in many places, the sushi here is AMAZING! As I had a new roll I caught myself stopping and enjoying each bite. We had:
49er roll - great light lemon flavor
Lion king roll - warm sweet bliss in each bite
Salmon skin roll - sweet sauce with a great crispy crunch)
Demon roll - fresh clean and wonderful flavor that forces you to slow down and enjoy it
Chicken teriyaki - subtle pineapple flavor was a surprise
Beef Bulgogi - I could have a whole bowl of this!!“

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

“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“
