28 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.“

“One of the best Ramen Place in Fremont or even Bay Area. I've been to different ramen places and so far, their Ramen is still my best ramen I've ever had. Not many ramen places makes the soup base tasty and made fresh. Bodo is made fresh and that's why it might take a bit longer. It's worth the wait. Their service is pretty good and the place is very neat. They serves different Japanese dishes as well. Plenty of choices. Try it and you won't be disappointed. I strongly recommend to my family and friends. Weekdays, they always have line outside, especially during lunch time. Give them a try. Bon appetit.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Simply the best in Fremont“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great people and good food.“

“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.“

“Ramen was tasty but we got level 2 spicy (out of 4 levels 0 1 2 3) which was too spicy for us so I’d go with no spicy or level 1 spicy in the future. I got extra chashu on mine.

The vibe/atmosphere is nice too with the paintings on the wall and nice background jazz music playing it gives cozy Japanese hole in the wall vibes.“

“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“

“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!“

“I'm glad that Fremont has an AYCE sushi spot. This place's menu offers not just sushi rolls, but also a variety of appetizers, nigiri, handrolls, ramen, and even ice cream. Service is what you would expect from an AYCE place, and this place is medium in size, so there might be a weight for a table if you go during peak hours.

My tip to you - go with a group so that you can try more rolls and not get full off one on your own haha. My favorite was the nigiri only because it comes with 2 pieces and not too much rice, so it's easier to sample more. Aside from the nigiri, the Shio Saba (salted, grilled mackerel) was also a favorite of mine, so much, I ordered a second one lol.

Our favorites:
* Shio Saba
* Nigiri - spicy garlic tuna, unagi, mackerel, cajun albacore
* Salmon Handroll
* Carpaccio - albacore w crispy garlic

For AYCE, this place gets the job done.“

“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 🤙🏼“

“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 !“

“Got a gyudon bowl from the donut shop, seems like it was a little heavy on the mirin but it was ok. Donuts were fine too. Also got some salt and pepper chicken this one unfortunately wasn't very good(not spicy at all, not really even much salt on it. Kinda bland). Also tried a strawberry macha latte from the coffee shop and that was good. Service is a little weird, you just order from kiosks off to the side and then it's like a weird 3 card monte where you pick up your food from since it's obvious all 3 places share the same kitchen with the same guy popping out from behind all 3 curtains periodically. Also the rice bowls from the donut shop seems a bit pricey for the quantity.“

“I got the banana matcha, the banana definitely overpowered the matcha like at most other places. I couldn’t really taste the matcha, so it was basically a banana drink, but it was still really good! I think this is a good spot to come study/work at.“

“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“
