12 Best Japanese Restaurants in Milpitas

“A neighborhood favorite in Milpitas! The fish quality is amazing, not far off from what I’ve experienced at high end sushi restaurants. At $14-$18 per roll, you’re looking at some incredible value. No, it’s not authentic Japanese sushi, but I still think it’s delicious. Always coming back for their Mizuno and Dragon rolls!“

“Fantastic little poke spot in Milpitas. Friendliest owners I've ever met, and the toppings are fresh and delicious. You start by picking your base: sushi rice, brown rice, or greens, then add your proteins with variety such was spicy salmon, tuna, shrimp, tilapia, tuna salad, tofu, etc. You can choose a spice level, and additional toppings such as edamame, corn, seaweed salad (so good), macaroni salad, crab, etc. I love to add spicy mayo and yuzu ponzo, plus eel sauce. Do not pass this place up!“

“Rating: 3.7/5 [dine in]

My family and I came here for Sunday lunch and were seated right away. Service was fine, but we felt the flavors were lacking, and the noodles were overpriced for what we got.

Yuzu Shio Ramen ($17): The broth was way too salty, so my mom had to add extra broth to dilute it. It also only came with one piece of tofu, which really didn't feel worth the price.

Tokyo Classic Aburasoba ($17): The sauce coated the noodles well and grew on me the more I ate. I love thick egg noodles, so this was right up my alley, and the bamboo had great flavor. The portion was much larger than the Yuzu Shio, and I even had leftovers. My only complaint was that it came with just one slice of meat. While I did enjoy it, I couldn't help but compare it to Menya Hanabi in LA, which still has the best mazesoba I've had.

Niku Spicy Ramen ($20): My brother ordered this one, which was actually my second choice.“

“Katsu curry rice tastes delicious. Plenty of pork meat on the rice!! Highly recommended“

“What a great surprise! We didn’t get a chance to take pictures of the food, but not needed. Great place, fantastic service. We really enjoyed ordering through the in-store QR code. Everything we tried was delicious, nicely served. The customer service was great beginning to end. We will come back for sure!“

“I'm surprised this place was not busy at all when we came for birthday lunch on Saturday. We did make reservation through Yelp but should've been OK even without one because only ~20% was occupied. The waiter took our order right away and food came super quick. We ordered all of their special rolls by accident but thankfully each rolls were perfect size with not too much rice so we manage to finish them but few rolls definitely feel redundant so will pay closer attention next time. They now up the sashimi allowance to 1 order of 5 pieces per person (only 1 kind of fish per order tho). I recommend getting the sashimi salad, salmon carpaccio, pepper tuna, pepper albacore for your fix of salmon, tuna, hamachi/albacore and get other fish type for your sashimi allowance. I highly recommend getting hamachi kama, Saba, tonkatsu and soft shell crabs. The takoyaki was too much dough. Was very disappointed they didn't have the mochi ice cream but their lychee ice cream (more like sorbet) is very good. Love it much more than matcha ice cream. Sesame balls are also freshly made with perfect bite size. I couldn't find anything about birthday treat but was surprised they gave free cheesecake and even play happy birthday song throughout the whole restaurants. They were also not rushing us when 90min was over. Highly recommend this place to satisfy your sushi craving!“

“I love this place so much. The staff is amazing. The choices of meat are fantastic. I always enjoy my time here. I highly recommend this place!

Every time I come I always have to have the beef belly and or the beef tongue. Though, everything on the menu is delicious.

The Crepe with apricot sauce is also delicious, and I’m not even a fan of apricots“

“Elder was giving samples of Chicken teriyaki and it was delicious 😋 👌

It's not on the menu but comes with , beef, chicken teriyaki and shrimp, we choose white rice and chowmein with mixed vegetables. Everything is cook when you order so Imagine how fresh and delicious this meal was!
