Came here for Fremont Restaurant Week 2024, where SOHO was offering their regular tasting menu for $88/person. Absolutely delicious food, absolutely fantastic service, and absolutely glad to have more fine dining options in Fremont.The starting course had four morsels that we were instructed to eat clockwise starting with an oyster mignoette (slightly sweet and fizzy from the sparking wine in the shell), a hotate tartare, an aburi shiromi, and an uni toro toast.The came the first course of nigiri. The standout was the amberjack on the right that had an intense smokiness without tasting dense.The halibut steak was delicate, and the purée underneath was delicious, but having only chopsticks made is kinda difficult to really get at that purée...There was another course of nigiri comprised of two different tunas and a tamago cube. We added on an ootoro nigiri, as well. Everything was delicious, especially the ootoro that just melted on the tongue.The clam soup that followed pretty good, and the ube charlotte that followed was a solid end to the meal.Our server was fantastic, introducing every course clearly and compile putting up with our questions throughout the night.

Food Was OK, but the service was not.We let the server know that one of our items never came. The server never came back to let us know if they were going to make it or to cancel it after we done with all our food we have to flag one of the server to let them know to cancel the order.The server that took our order never came back to explain what happened . When they gave us, the check did not even say thank you or to apologize for missing the order. We were very disappointed.

Great atmosphere and modern looking ambiance. I enjoyed the short rib poutine and crab meat benedict but they’re a little overpriced in my opinion. Service is great though! :)

All our tips are meant for Zoe because she is the one (and only one) who smiled at us at this place. The guy helped us get seated was just cold as their sashimi dish. We did not even receive any greetings from him and I almost felt like he was about to kick us out. It wasn’t pleasant until Zoe came and explained their menu patiently she is the best. Also miso soup and the grilled fish are too salty, sushi’s are good.

We had the set menu and it was mostly delicious. Was disappointed by the mackerel main but dessert was delicious. The atmosphere was ok but the staff was attentive and nice.

My favorite restaurant in Fremont. I love their omakase for special occasions and absolutely love their brunch menu too. Such a gem to have in Fremont!

Decor was very nice. Modern Asian feeling. Food was good and fitting of the decor. The letdown was service. It seemed the restaurant was both short staffed and some service staff attitudes weren't befitting the price point. We had lunch on a Sunday.We needed the host to modify our wait-list entry and it took 5-10 minutes to get someone's attention from the front. Same for when it was our turn and we tried to check in with the host. After being seated, it was also hard to flag someone down to take out orders. Lastly, the guy bringing food to our table just left it wherever convenient rather than asking who ordered it. This happened 3xSome of the above can be chalked up to being short staffed, but at the price point the restaurant is asking, I expected the person carrying the food out to ask who ordered it and put it in front of them. I've had friendlier and more attentive service and restaurants half the price.As such, likely a no repeat for me.

All the individual components were nice (food, service, atmosphere), but overall, was not worth waiting over an hour to eat here for brunch.
Service was just average. Atmosphere was nice just crowded (of course). Sushi is nice quality but just very overpriced. 6 oysters for $30 is kinda insane. The quality is definitely there though. The chicken croffle was just okay. Kimchi pulled pork was salty and the flavors didn’t go well together. The brunch is definitely overhyped.

It's a pretty good place and rather unique for a town like Fremont. But I have to say it felt overhyped because of TikTok influencers. To start off we got the Mochi Waffle, Puff Corn Chowder and 2x Okonomiyaki Tater tots without bonito. The mochi Waffle was pretty good and soft. personally not a big fan of the soup, it was just okay. The okonomiyaki was an absolute banger though and a must try. My main was the avocado croffle and it was also really good-layers of a croissant in the shape of a waffle. We paired all of it with the mimosa flights, though they felt a little light on the champagne.Overall the aesthetic was pretty cozy and the service was attentive and fast. Good vibes.

I just finished car shopping in Fremont area and I discovered this place. So I came here for brunch. I came here about 1145am and waited a table of two parties for about 45 mins. As I walked in the place, it came me a feeling of Christmas holiday. Perhaps it's just the lighting, but the place was well organized and modernized. The latte with flavored (lavender and caramel with bubble gum tasted) had a nice touch and refreshing. The Ube mochi pancake was soft and tasty. The services provided were on point. If I were in the hood again, I would come back for more. Perhaps to come here for dinner.

Location: Next to Sizzling Lunch in Plaza Service: Ok, didn't refill waters once during our entire meal. We also asked a server to refill our water and never came back Ambiance: Aesthetic and clean. I like how it was super modern. It was dimly litI came here for brunch on a Sunday and had the Ube Waffles, short rib poutine and butterfly pea latte. Food was ok, more aesthetic than anything. The waffle was really dry. Short rib in the short rib poutine was unimpressive and the fries were standard. Arrive before 11 because there is a line before the restaurant opens. If you do not get first seating, the wait will be extremely long.
