13 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!“

“Always Been Our Go-To For Any Occassion. Everything Is Great But Their Oyster Shot Is The Best“

“This location opened inside not too long ago inside the Great Mall not too far from the Jollibee and I've been several times already.

Their onigiri is delicious, fresh, and well-priced. I've also tried their signature poke bowl. Everything is made to order and the ingredients are high-quality. Even so, the prices are quite reasonable - the bowl is ~$17, including tax. Most poke places are easily starting at $20 for any sort of bowl and that's before you add in other toppings and premium ingredients.

Don't know how long they can keep up the quality at this price but I'd give it a try before too long.“

“great customer service, very polite and attentive. ありがとございます！“

“I have a gluten allergy but staff are very nice that explained to me which has gluten or not.
I ordered beef negitan, rice without yakitori souse and salad with lime dressing!
The Karaage are not gluten free but this is for my husband:)
Very clean inside and bathroom.
So delicious 😋. Thank you very much!!“

“Taishoken is famous for its tsukemen, and it lives up to the hype. The cold, chewy noodles are served separately so you can dip them into a rich broth that’s thick, savory, and satisfying. It’s fun to eat, filling, and a nice change of pace if you want something with a little more bite and texture than regular ramen.

Their tonkotsu ramen is also a great option. The broth is creamy and comforting, the pork is tender, and the boiled egg is well prepared timing-wise; perhaps a little cold. It’s tasty and perfect if you want a warm, cozy bowl without having to think too hard about it.

Service is pretty decent and inside the restaurant is sophisticatedly nice. From the signage I learned the recipe originated in 1951. Generally a good parking situation because there’s a huge lot, but this ‘Ranch 99’ area can get quite packed at times.“

“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!“

“Came back so many times to enjoy sushi feast.
The sushi size was perfect. We had all we wanted to eat. Foods were fresh and tasty. Sashimi, saba shioyaki, unagi avocado handroll, avocado hamachi classic roll, unagi don, chirashi don, double salmon special roll and lion king roll...were our favorites. Miso soup and ice cream were great. Loved Lychee and matcha flavors of ice cream.
More than 100% satisfied for our sushi crave.
Definitely, we'll back.“

“Ushiya was honestly such a great experience from start to finish. The meat quality was amazing. The staff was super attentive, always helping with the grill and making sure everything was running smoothly without being overwhelming. The whole vibe of the place was fun and welcoming, perfect for hanging out and enjoying good food. Definitely one of the best spots I’ve been to and I’ll for sure be coming back!“

“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“
