We celebrated my birthday on a Thursday night during Happy Hour. There was no wait and we appreciated the 25% discount. The food was prepared perfectly and served attentively. We enjoyed bluefin toro nigiri, pan seared scallops, chicken croffle toast, matcha mochi pancakes, truffle chawanmushi, and okonomiyaki potato tots. We finished the magical night with ube panna cotta and complimentary mochi birthday cake. Thank you, Soho! =) I especially enjoyed tasting the edible flowers on my scallops and the chicken that melted in my mouth! I recommend this place with its relaxing and beautiful ambience.

They really put effort into everything. Of course the wait was not bad either since there is an icecream shop next door.

The food here is absolutely amazing! Every dish is presented so beautifully that you almost don’t want to eat it—it looks like art on the plate. The flavors are just as impressive as the presentation.
Service was also outstanding. Our server, Ben, did a fantastic job and recommended a great bottle of sake that perfectly complemented our meal. He really made the experience even better.
Overall, we had an excellent dining experience and would highly recommend this restaurant.

Came by for a weekend brunch!
Two of us ordered: belgian syphon coffee $14 mentaiko frittata $12 chicken croffle toast $22 smoked salmon benedict $26 espresso martini $14
Staff was a bit slow, not sure if they were understaffed.
Flavors were good. I'd be interesting in coming in for dinner to try their raw fish items.
Out of the dishes, I liked the chicken croffle toast the most.
Parking in plaza.

Great brunch spot. A bit pricey, but everyone needs to try their fried chicken. I don't know how they make it so crunchy on the outside yet so juicy and SOFT on the inside, but it's awesome.
Dining at Soho Modern Japanese feels like enjoying both a meal and a piece of art. The fish is fresh and delicate, each bite full of clean, refined flavors. What truly sets this place apart is the presentation, food is arranged so beautifully, with flowers, colors, and textures that make you pause before eating. It’s as if each plate tells a little story. The atmosphere is calm and refined, and the staff provide warm, attentive service. A truly memorable experience where food and art come together.

Soho in Fremont is an absolute gem for modern Japanese cuisine. I came in during their Happy Hour (4–6 PM, Tuesday–Sunday) where everything from their small plate and cold plate menus is 25% off, and I tried a range of dishes that truly showcased their creativity and quality.
From the cold plate menu, the Japanese Wagyu Tataki ($36) was a showstopper—beautifully seared Japanese Wagyu beef served with dashi ponzu and dengaku miso. The presentation alone was stunning, and the melt-in-your-mouth texture made it unforgettable.
The Uni to Hotate Crudo ($28) featured Hokkaido uni, scallop, ikura, white ponzu, dashi gelée, herb oil, freeze-dried miso, and microgreens. While everything else this evening was exceptional, I’d say the uni itself was just okay—still fresh but not as vibrant as the other standout plates.
From the small plates menu, the Mentaiko Frittata ($12) was pure comfort: baked egg custard with mushroom, mozzarella, and mentaiko. Creamy, savory, and perfectly balanced.
The XO Abalone ($16) was another highlight—braised abalone with sautéed mushrooms in a rich XO reduction, served in its shell for a beautiful presentation.
Every dish was plated with care, flavors were well-balanced, and service was attentive without being intrusive. Soho is doing something special here, and the Happy Hour deal makes it even better. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

When it said the dish is short ribs poutine, I didn’t realize it is actually poutine — short of ribs

Went for brunch and the food was great. Had the miso cod eggs benedict, avocado croiffle toast and creme brulee french toast.
Would recommend anything with the croiffle and the french toast was so fluffy and not overwhelmingly sweet.

I really enjoyed my meal here! The ube mochi waffle was a standout, and the avocado toast was perfectly executed. While the fried chicken waffle toast was a bit oily, the chicken itself was incredibly juicy and flavorful.
