14 Best Japanese Restaurants in Pleasanton

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

“I love coming here with my family. Kids are cheaper based on height. The price is reasonable for the variety - sushi, fish and meat. The miso salmon fillets are a kids favorite, tender off the grill. I like the Aussie wagyu, bulgogi and brisket and it goes well with the seaweed salad, spicy cucumber and kimchi. Our server Jada was very nice and helpful!“

“Fast service, staff are super friendly and polite, and every menu item I’ve had has tasted great! Menu prices are reasonable and they have a generous lunch special bento option. Highly recommend. This is my go-to spot for Japanese cuisine in the Pleasanton area.“

“Located inside Stoneridge Mall this Japanese restaurant offers a great selection of food for anyone who’s looking for a bite while shopping at Stoneridge. Plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating right when you walk into mall next to Men’s Warehouse. Service and atmosphere was good and there was no wait for a table!“

“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!“

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

“美味及有創意的食品 棒!“

“Every single time I’m in town, I get the Dill Sake roll at least once. More than that if I’m lucky. Not only are they fast in terms of preparation, but they are consistent and it always is fresh and delicious! Great sushi and a great value.“

“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!“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“went in a random Saturday evening & was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish, the kindness of the cashiers & the overall nice atmosphere of the restaurant. given that the restaurant was kind of tucked away, I didn’t have much for expectations but the young ladies at the counter were very attentive & hospitable & it’s always nice to hear my pleasure when you say thank you! will definitely be telling others about to visit & can’t wait to return myself.“

“The weekday lunch bento box is unbeatable! I love how crispy the teriyaki salmon is and the sushi is consistently good quality. Not to mention the prices are way lower than anything else in the area! This place should be a lot more crowded than it is!“

“I have eaten here twice and the food is excellent !! both the chicken teriyaki and the beef . The meat is grilled perfectly snd the flavor is great . The veggies are still crisp and not overdone . This is the best teriyaki bowl I have had !!“
