22 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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“They are wonderful people with a genuine care for serving food lovingly, they have a good amount of vegetarian options. Loved the housemade udon noodles and the litchi beer they serve. Best best people ever we stayed over 45 mins past their closing time and they had zero complaints, I absolutely love this place“

“Everything great except for the pork 😔“

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

“Fantastic atmosphere, I was so surprised as I did not expect such a cool experience just from looking at the place from the outside. Outside gives nice and elegant too, but the inside decor is stellar.

Great food, prices!

Salmon Sashimi was so fresh and nicely cut, very generous sushi special - eel was great -- , gyoza fried perfectly, niku udon delicious.

Fast service great atmosphere!“

“Sushi O Sushi is amazing!! We usually drop in for lunch and a couple times for dinner. We get the bento boxes with teryaki chicken, California rolls, and sashimi (tuna or salmon) the miso soup is great and the salad with that delicious dressing is perfect. We always stop here and you shoukd definitely give it a try.“

“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!“

“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“

“Onigilly serves tasty Japanese-style rice balls with fresh, flavorful sashimi — a great option for a quick yet satisfying meal. The ingredient flavors are well-balanced. Worth a try if you’re craving something light, fresh, and different!“

“place is awesome. quick and tasty“

“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.“

“Now, as i write this review, I'd like you to know that i have not yet been to Japana or any part of Asia but Sarku Japan's Teriyaki chicken has to be one of the best i have had. It also helps that ever since I was a teen, there was an awesome super friendly employee by the name of Strawberry who used to give out samples of the chicken all the time. The chicken is always fresh and hot, and the price point is still fair compared to the rising cost of food in the bay area. I used to only get the white rice, but I recently tried the fried rice and was not disappointed. Don't forget to ask for extra sauce! I rated the atmosphere low because Valley Fair is always busy, and I, for one, dont enjoy it, especially since you have to pay for parking if there for longer than two hours. Helps to walk, bike, or skate if possible. It's easier to get around, in my opinion.“

“lovely little sit down restaurant with a super cute interior design scheme. we ordered two pizzas and a pasta. very creative and interesting fusion flavors! i really enjoyed the yakult berry drink and the salmon pasta. would definitely come again, especially if they bring back the previous dessert selection.“

“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.“
