10 Best Japanese Restaurants in Milpitas

“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!“

“I have been going to this place with my grandparents for years, it is our go to sushi place. It has gone through a lot of changes after the pandemic hit, but the quality of the food has never changed. Love it, amazing overall. My only wish would be that they expand so it does not feel as cramped when dining in, but their take out system is extremely effective.“

“This is a very good Koran BBQ place with Great and efficient service. They deliver what you order within a minute. And pick up the empty dishes all the time!

Meat is all very good quality with wonderful flavors.

The all you can eat price of $55.00 with soft drinks included I think is a good deal.

I highly recommend for all the meat lovers to try!“

“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.“

“I recently visited Taishoken Ramen and had an enjoyable dining experience overall. We ordered the regular ramen, the spicy ramen, and the chicken karaage.

The regular ramen was the standout of the meal. The broth was rich, well-balanced, and full of flavor, making it both comforting and satisfying. Every component complemented each other well, and it was a bowl I would gladly order again. The spicy ramen, however, fell a bit short of my expectations. While it certainly delivered on the spice level, the heat overwhelmed the broth, making it difficult to appreciate the depth of its flavor. I would have preferred a better balance between the spice and the overall taste of the ramen. The chicken karaage was excellent. It was perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and made for a great appetizer alongside the ramen.
I had a positive experience and would happily return. Although the spicy ramen wasn’t my favorite, the quality of the regular ramen, the delicious karaage, and the welcoming atmosphere made the visit worthwhile. Next time, I’m looking forward to trying the signature dipping ramen, which I’ve heard is one of Taishoken’s specialties.“

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

“Our family loves Sumiya Bento in Milpitas. We eat here all the time. Once a week if possible! The food quality and service has always been consistently top notch!

We have also ate at the Sumiya Bento location in Santa Clara several times, but we prefer the Milpitas location! The skewers at the Milpitas location has always been juicy and cooked just right. For some reason everytime we eat the skewers at their Santa Clara location it has been dry and too charred/burnt. Not sure why.

So definitely give Sumiya Bento Milpitas a try! You won't regret it.“

“Such a Great Experience!

Really enjoyed our visit here! The restaurant has a beautiful interior and a really nice, relaxing atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal.

The food was fresh and delicious. The sushi tasted very fresh, and the BBQ was flavorful and cooked just right. I love that they offer both sushi and BBQ—it’s a great combination and there’s something for everyone.

Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!“

“This was my first time trying Japanese bbq and it was really good! They had so many different sauces that I had never tried before, my favorite was the egg yolk combined with the house sauce. Service was good, food was amazing! Would definitely recommend.“
