13 Best Japanese Restaurants in Pleasanton

“The beef broth ramen is absolutely delicious and highly recommended! We also enjoyed the sushi, especially the yellowtail roll. While they don't have a specific kids' menu, we easily created a great meal for our child by ordering a mix-and-match of side noodles and grilled shrimp.
Lastly, the green tea ice cream was so good!“

“美味及有創意的食品 棒!“

“Excellent cuisine and service. A definite “must-dine” gem in Pleasanton. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“My family and I love the food! Great place to eat at lunch! I ordered the chicken and shrimp bento box! Very filling! 😋“

“Very impressed. I'm a bit of a sushi connoisseur. I travel for work and usually find the highest rated sushi restaurant in each town I visit. While this wasn't the highest rated, it was walking distance from my hotel and convenience won out. I wasn't expecting much from a strip mall sushi restaurant, but the quality ended up being on par with some of the higher-end places I've been to. The fish was very fresh with generous portions on the nigiri. The chef and hostess were both very friendly. I didn't eat inside but the place looked very clean and decorated well. Prices were very fair, especially considering this is the bay area.

I'm only in town one more day but I will definitely try to return. Highly recommended.“

“Delicious and definitely fulfilled our sushi craving. I highly recommend Pocket Sushi no chopsticks required easy to eat, full of flavor, and so pretty to look at. I stopped by after work to pick up a few different types of pockets, the service was great and the food was fresh and made quickly. I waited no more then ten minutes for them to make my six item order and they brought it out to my car which was also very nice. We will for sure be back for more!“

“This place is such a hidden gem. The sushi is incredibly fresh, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The caviar just melts in your mouth, and the rolls are perfectly balanced.

It’s got a cozy, unassuming vibe, and the service is super friendly without being overbearing. It feels like one of those spots you want to keep to yourself but also can’t wait to tell your friends about. Definitely worth checking out if you love good sushi!“

“Definitely will go back. We enjoyed my husband's birthday dinner. Great food, fast service and best customer service!“

“We ate here on a random Monday. Just happen to be walking by. Bonus points for a sushi restaurant being open on a Monday! Restaurant was quiet and cozy. We tried a few appetizers and had bento boxes. Everything we tried was amazing! From the Sushi to the medium rare teriyaki To the tempura my favorite gyoza! I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be going back“

“Simply Wonderful. I recommend them, and will visit them again.“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Pleasanton. The prices are unbeatable and the quality of the food is very high. The $14 bento is great value as well, and the portions on all of the items are pretty generous.

I've been here many times in the past, and the quality is always consistent. The service isn't perfect but it's usually pretty fast. It's also usually not very busy during dinner.“

“Teriyaki Madness never disappoints! Their chicken is incredibly juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every time. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and the sauces add just the right amount of sweetness and savoriness. Whether it’s the classic teriyaki bowl or a spicy option, everything is packed with bold, delicious flavors. The service is always friendly, and the food comes out fast, making it a great go-to spot for a satisfying meal. Highly recommend!“
