11 Best Japanese Restaurants in Sunnyvale

“The biggest difference compared to izakayas in Japan? Last call is at 8:30 PM -- way too early! Most izakayas in Japan stay open until midnight or later, so this felt a bit rushed.

That said, overall it was a solid experience, and the bill was lower than I expected for the amount and quality of food. I'll definitely be back -- just a bit earlier next time!“

“YUM! We love Rokko! Lovely restaurant, great food and a wonderful staff. Happy we have this restaurant in DT Sunnyvale. 😀“

“It was a delight and joy to have chef Steve to prepare our meal. My wife and I ate everything that was prepared for us and the food was absolutely amazing. Great flavors and fresh ingredients. The scallop was to die for. Uni was heavenly, that it melts in your mouth. Uni is not something my wife like or enjoy but she loved it the way chef Steve pair with other ingredients. Once again thanks chef Steve for the fabulous dining experiences.“

“Great food and very tasty!! Staff are very friendly!! Highly recommended!!!“

“Got 3 types of okonomiyaki, yakisoba and curry katsu for a party of 5, more than enough food. Favorite okonomiyaki was the ebi (shrimp). Flavorful and not too heavy. The seafood one was a little too heavy with the amount of mayo added. The katsu and yakisoba we're alright. Service was good, friendly waiters! Wait on a Saturday night at 7 was around 15 min.“

“I ordered the oyakudon. I liked. It's actually used chicken katsu and not grilled chicken. The katsu was moist which is good. The sauce however was too salty and not sweety enough. Probably not enough mirin which makes it sweeter or they put too much soy sauce in the sauce. Otherwise, perfect.“

“Hidden ramen gem in South Bay! Better than the ramen places on Castro street in Mountain View. My friend and I both ordered the Miso Ramen (~$18.50 each before tax) which were large portions that came with very tasty and tender large slices of pork. The broth and noodles were also flavorful without being too salty.
Service was fast.
Good amount of indoor seating, casual ambience.“

“Cozy little place right in a shopping center that my family and I visit often, but this was our first time trying it. I liked that they offered a children's bento box, maybe my son will get that next time. My husband and I enjoyed our sushi.“

“New in town and looking to find a new favorite sushi place. And I think this is it. Everything tastes like really good quality. A good selection and the service was great. Prices were reasonable for the Bay area. It seemed like the staff also knew quite a bit of the the people who came in, perhaps as regulars“

“Great service and food from small business restaurant. Their sashimi and sushi rolls so delicious and fresh. I like their teriyaki sauce with any type of meat 🥩 you want. I enjoy their grilled salmon. Love their miso soup 🍜 not very salty. Will come back and try other food next time.“
