24 Best Japanese Restaurants in Santa Clara

“This is the best chicken karage curry that I've every had. You get a ton of food for the money. Chicken is super crispy and served over sticky rice. Curry in a separate container and some pickled veg on the side. Really balanced curry flavor (not too sweet, not too spicy). This makes for a really nice take-out dinner!“

“Our first time here and everything was delicious! We had the garlic edamame, salmon express and the spicy tails rolls and the salmon with lemon dill nigiri. So good!“

“The service is outstanding, the broth is.. understated (don't drown the meat in a separate flavor), and the sauces/accessory items are god-tier. I've never even had soft serve ice cream this good. Not a single ice crystal in the ice cream!

Get the Sukiyaki broth. Spicy miso would seem like the most flavorful, but our group agreed Sukiyaki is better. Want spicy? Grab the infinite Thai chilis at the bar and add to the soup.

Also ponzu-garlic-onion is the best sauce. Fight me! Raw egg (pasteurized) is crazy good too if the flavors get too overwhelming.

I didn't even talk about the meats! Yeah wagyu is great, oyster is great, crab is meh, shrimp (sashimi and platter) is whoah, abalone isn't my thing (it's just all natural fish cake?). Bone marrow was surprisingly not my favorite for a first time experience.

Membership pays for itself after two visits. Get it!“

“Quality, fresh variety of raw sashimi. The Omasake Sashimi, Kaisen Don, and Golden Hand Roll options are showstoppers!“

“Everything great except for the pork 😔“

“Very authentic flavors, reminded me of the times I ate at the ryoutei style restaurants in Japan! サーモンハラスの塩焼き - Grilled salmon belly 生うどん - Fresh udon noodle soup ユズ香る茶碗蒸し - Egg custard with yuzu with crab sauce on top イイダコの唐揚げ - Deep fried mini octopus“

“First time I ate in this restaurant was in 1997. This restaurant has been here for real long time 😁😁
I liked their varieties, quite nice taste. Service is friendly, just the restaurant light is kind of dark 🕶️🕶️.
Overall, enjoyed for the past many many years. 😊 😊“

“place is awesome. quick and tasty“

“The food quality is superb and the service is outstanding. Greenfish catering is legit!“

“This place is AWESOME! If you're looking for a relaxing experience, complete with fish and waterfalls, and very tasty food, go here! Authentic Japanese food at it's finest. I love the Grilled chicken hot pot, beef teriyaki, miso soup, vegetable/shrimp tempura is to-die-for!! It has a rotating sushi bar as well. Prices are average and fair. This is a family-owned restaurant of 30 years! Please give it a try, you won't regret it.“

“Absolutely fantastic food and excellent service. We celebrated our Birthdays tonight, and the staff is amazing. Love their salmon sashimi and megura. Kyiv roll and honey walnut rolls were also delicious!“

“Love this place I got the vegan bowl for the first time I usually just grab a ume onigilly for a little snack but now I know I can have a full meal I will be back hungry. The bowl was actually quite big I ended up eating half for lunch and half for dinner.“

“Love when you can see and taste the quality!! ??✨

@taichipotshabu is hands down the BEST authentic Japanese shabu shabu in the Bay Area. Just look at the marbling on the meat and the richness of the broths. The best part, it’s AYCE! Service is amazing and they really make it feel like you’re having a comforting meal at home.“

“Fantastic sushi and service. I had a sashimi platter and ate alll of it because it’s yummy and also had sake because it’s yummy. Mmmmmm sushi mmmmmmm!!! I love sushi. I also had sake to drink because it’s yummy.’mmmmm !!!! I love it yummy sushi did also having the yummy sushi!“

“We dined at their SM North Edsa branch. Good food. 👌 Crews were accommodating. 💯“

“Really tasty and interesting take on katsu. The signature katsu is like a pork "shell" stuffed with a cheese sauce. They also have regular tonkatsu if you're not into that.
My only problem is that it's takeout only, so by the time I got home, the cheese was already getting cold. I'd be more likely to come back if there was a table to eat at.“

“When I say chicken teriyaki, Sarku Japan is the model. I don’t come here looking for Japanese authenticity, but rather their delicious take on chicken teriyaki. I’ve been coming here since the 2010s and is still visiting every so often. Great price for the portion and amount of chicken I receive! I recommend the default chicken teriyaki box with extra chicken. Always a delicious meal with a hint of nostalgia. Recommend!“

“Rude and abusive owner, poor quality food, bad location, disgusting on the inside, slow service. There is better sushi at gas stations these days.“

“From the first moment you arrive in that place team give you an agreeable feeling. Very hospitable team, it is a happy restaurant to enjoy with friends or with your date. delicious cuisine, professional chef, decent price and excellent service. Warmly recommended.“

“Best sushi hands down! 🍣🍣“
