15 Best Japanese Restaurants in Mountain View

“the sushi was so delicious and very reasonably priced for the quality :) I loved all of their unagi rolls, especially the black dragon roll that has an entire eel on top! I also really liked the salmon sashimi, the 49ers roll, and the caterpillar roll.

the waiter was also so kind, we will definitely be back :)

I forgot to take a picture until we’d eaten almost the entire roll lol but the rolls and fish were so plump and so fresh!“

“friendly staff, monstrous upon great broth“

“Biked over from our hotel and grabbed a table without waiting on a Saturday evening. Plenty of tables inside, good lighting, and nice staff. Large sushi roll menu. We started with the spicy edamame and it was great, to an addicting point. I got the monster roll and the spicy hamachi. Good quality fish, rice was solid, and the ingredients tasted fresh. Solid spot for sushi.“

“We had a great lunch, so yummy and fresh foods. We love the taste so much especially their garlic rice very recommendable to all of you guys who wants to try a japanese food that’s really satisfied your cravings, so come and dine in.“

“Among the best Japanese food in Mountain View/Los Altos/Palo Alto area.“

“Enjoyed the omakase and sake pairing. Fish was fresh and well prepared. There were a couple of pieces, e.g. hirame, I wasn't crazy about because they were chewy but that's a personal preference. Service was fantastic, super efficient. Highly recommend!“

“Have been going to this place lately. Fresh and delicious. The price is pretty good for 1 combo with sides.“

“Katsu is a refined, intimate omakase experience that redefines what it means to dine with intention. With only eight seats at the chef's counter, the chef-owner, Katsu Maruyama, treats everyone as a special guest.
The omakase menu evolves with the seasons; the meal's pacing is thoughtful, allowing diners to savor each bite while engaging with Chef Katsu, who shares insights into his techniques and ingredients. The fish is incredibly fresh (often flown in from Japan), and the rice is perfectly seasoned.
The atmosphere is calm and minimalist, allowing you to focus entirely on the food.“

“Great sushi! Must get the omakase nigiri or Toyosu special!“

“Love their foods, so delicious and fancy will bring my family & friends there again!!“

“The chef is very professional and the ingredients are very fresh. The chef tastes the ingredients himself every morning and cooks them fresh. They are so friendly and friendly that they remind me of my parents. There are so many menus that I ordered several and tried this and that, all of which were successful. The salmon rolls, especially the fresh and fragrant ooni, were fantastic. Salmon sashimi melted in my mouth and I don't know how many plates I ate 😂😂😂 It's worth coming. Make sure you visit!“

“Best foods , great services 🥰“

“Mountain View's Downtown area is so cute and I love that it's blocked off from cars so the center is a walking street. There are tons of restaurants and shops in the area, but if you're craving sushi or Japanese food, you have to 🔖bookmark Sushi Arashi! The prices are very affordable and the portions are generous.

If you're looking for an Instagram worthy dish that's both delicious and worth paying for, get the Omakase Box! It's $55, but worth it. Each chef's choice was well selected and super fresh. This place also has a huge selection of special rolls if that's more your style. The fish portions are big and they don't use too much rice like some other places. There are also Udon and Teriyaki dishes to choose from for those who aren't big on seafood.
