“Nice new remodel. Really good waitress and the owner was working the room and was fun to chat with since I was by myself.Korean Fried Chicken ??Outside was crispy and gooey, sweet with a little heat and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. The pieces seemed hand cut from a whole chicken and I got more than half a bird. Yummy banchon on the side.I can't wait to return.Parking: st“
“I got take out here. They have a very large section of rolls and sushi here. I got the Flying Ninja and the Dragon rolls. Both said they were spicy but I didn’t taste much spice even after I dipped it in my soy sauce and wasabi mix. Overall both rolls were good with tempura shrimp inside. Like I’ve said there is so many options I’d like onto and try different ones.“
“Ideally I would have to say I would give Robin a 3.5 stars. Upon arriving to the restaurant, it was storming outside and there were no signs for us to find the place. When we entered, we got greeted by friendly staff members and got seated. I think what makes Robin a bit more unique compared to other omakase places is that you can choose your own price range and the chefs accommodate with what you had picked, but in my opinion I would have preferred them to give a set price to choose from. Inside of the restaurant was beautiful, I loved the interior design, but if you're looking for a quiet/intimate omakase experience this is not the place for that. Music is pretty loud and the parties around us were talking with their outside voice , which I didn't mind because like I mentioned the vibes at Robin is definitely more casual. In terms of the quality of food, I would have to say, while everything was super fresh and good, nothing stood out to me. On top of that, every omakase I've been to so far, I would have been full 80% in but we left Robin still hungry. Our total came out to be $470, and I would have expected to leave full. I wished they had taken out the potato chip nigiri and the noodle dish, because I would have preferred to receive more fish. The nigiri that was part of the courses was super small, and as I mentioned, while everything was good, I was not amazed. Still highly recommend if you've never experienced omakase before, only tip is to book at the bar seating bc you'll get the full experience that way.“
“Greeted with amazing service from beginning to end. We brought a little baby and forgot to bring our scissor to cut the food into tiny bits. The kind waiter gave us one to use, and without asking gave us extra napkins, a cup with a straw, and a baby bowl. Is the waiter a parent too? Because he gets it! We appreciate the gesture! Food is delicious too, of course. We went back several times. :)“
“First time trying this location BUT it felt very familiar since the interior was similar to the Oakland location. The nigiri combo also started at $25 for 7 pieces with the options to pick more expensive fish. Scallops and toro are available for no additional cost here as well. Honestly, a great addition to the area. Highly recommend their kurodai, aka black snapper, because they sear it very well.“
“This is kind of an out of the way spot which is taking over an old pho restaurant.I flew in late to Oakland airport, I need something warm and homey. Frankly, I was itching for a good ramen. Having lived in the Bay Area many years, I knew I could find something like that.This place wasn't too far off of my path, and it was late and they were still open.Walking in the place is fairly unassuming, yet there is still some customers there. Almost that closing. I asked quickly if it was too late to grab a ramen, the kind gal could be said please have a seat.Looking around, I saw several tables that were covered with dirty dishes and uneaten food. Well that wasn't necessarily a great first impression, at least they had a good rush.Sitting down I received a menu, and a glass of cold water.Looking at the menu there was a variety of ramens to choose from, and so I went to my go-to Tonkotsu. Almost nothing better than a Tonkotsu with Chashu late at night. Done that many times after hours in Tokyo.Anyway I had to add Gyoza as a side to complete it.First come out the gyoza, and their fried on all sides. That is not my first choice, and this is very common when prepared by non-Japanese. I bit in, and while decent, they were not great. But the Ramen came out, and I was very excited. It smelled right, the broth was piping hot, and there was several good pieces of Chashu.First, I sip the broth. It was good and hot. Second, I slurped the noodles, they are firm, warm, and perfect flavor. I grab a little sneak bite of a Chashu, It's warm, nice savory flavor, and a good thick piece. I'm pleased. I dive in. Before I knew it the ramen was gone, Gyoza, pretty much gone, and I was very full. The broth was nice and hardy, with a savory thick flavor, and simply it was a calming experience before hitting the hotel.For me my final question is always "would I go back?" The answer is a definite yes. Though I probably would not get the gyoza. But if you're looking for a good ramen, I recommend.“
“This place has a nice homey feel to it, and the workers are really nice! The price is really reasonable, especially considering it's Japanese food, but I can't help but say that something about the quality is not quite up to par. My family got the Lion King roll, Sukiyaki, and a Nabeyaki udon. We all agreed it all tasted good but just wasn't the best of each dish that we've had before. Will plan to come back for sure still!“
“A gem of a restaurant tucked away in Castro Valley. Took my mom here to celebrate her birthday and had a lovely experience. The chef and the staff were all super attentive and kind, and even provided some complimentary sips which were like nothing I’ve ever tasted. This was our first proper omakase together, but it won’t be our last. Everything was prepared masterfully, super fresh, and very tasty. We even opted for a couple of extra bites which were well worth it. Dining like this is a nice treat once in a great while.“
“I love going to Osaka Market, the sushi is delicious and all of the prepared meals they have, I really loved the Sando fruit and the onigiriAnd of course you can shop all of your groceries here, besides that you'll found every kind of skin care products, make up, candies, etc.“
“We had the Kuro Ramen and it was delicious. Very filling.We also had to try their Arashi Ramen and the broth was light and savory.I recommend the Arashi French fries. They are sweet and crunchy, going well with ramen.The complimentary oolong tea was very refreshing and light, with easy accessible refilling station.“
“As soon as I sat down at the table, I received free fries and green beans. Today, I ordered a dinner box that included pork cutlet and Godzilla rolls with my friend. First of all, I was surprised by the amount of food, and the food was so delicious that I ate everything even though I was full. This is my third visit to this restaurant and I think I’ll be a regular customer. I‘m very happy with the service and I was charged just $35. Totally satisfied! Cost-effective restaurant!!“
“This place is SO GOOD! Some of the best sushi I've had in the area. HIGHLY recommend. Rolls are amazing and filling. We got (from left to right) the Honey Walnut roll, Baked California Roll, Monster Roll, Hot Momma roll, and Lion King. All were PHENOMENAL.Vegetarian options: They have a few different rolls without fish.Parking: Easy and free parking.“
“Great food, clean and nice place and warm staff. I ordered it for lunch on door dash and I liked it so much that I brought my kids for dine in the next day. The steak, curry noodle soup, shrimp plate, their salad and the peanut butter dressing were amazing. The plates are decent size and heartily.“
“I heard that this place opened recently, which is about 1.5 years now. The place looks alright since that’s how a Japanese restaurant typically looks like especially if it’s small.I was quite surprised how big the serving size is from the Chicken Teriyaki dinner plate (didn’t finish it). No wonder it’s expensive. The food tastes fresh and nice, but I honestly believe that they should lessen the salt of the edamame. Also like the taste of sashimi and California Roll.“
“Gotta love small places like this where the owner is on deck and takes pride in his restaurant. Value to price was awesome. Bunch of Stanford students drive out here probably for this reason. The lunch sashimi bento box was outstanding. Cheers and ty for having “
“Came here for Fremont Restaurant Week 2024, where SOHO was offering their regular tasting menu for $88/person. Absolutely delicious food, absolutely fantastic service, and absolutely glad to have more fine dining options in Fremont.The starting course had four morsels that we were instructed to eat clockwise starting with an oyster mignoette (slightly sweet and fizzy from the sparking wine in the shell), a hotate tartare, an aburi shiromi, and an uni toro toast.The came the first course of nigiri. The standout was the amberjack on the right that had an intense smokiness without tasting dense.The halibut steak was delicate, and the purée underneath was delicious, but having only chopsticks made is kinda difficult to really get at that purée...There was another course of nigiri comprised of two different tunas and a tamago cube. We added on an ootoro nigiri, as well. Everything was delicious, especially the ootoro that just melted on the tongue.The clam soup that followed pretty good, and the ube charlotte that followed was a solid end to the meal.Our server was fantastic, introducing every course clearly and compile putting up with our questions throughout the night.“
“I thought it was seaweed sushi, but it was literally a piece of pocket sushi, like a rice ball. Although it was less than the average American food, it was full and tasty. The amount was just right for me.It felt a bit expensive for the price, but it was a light and satisfying meal.“
“Thank you Ichika for presenting us with a really special night!!The servers were friendly and perfectly escorted us between dishes. I really appreciated our server helping us choose a sake: letting us taste some and recommending a carafe of our favorite. Also, since we sat at the sushi bar, we got to know the chefs! They were delightful and watching them prepare the courses was a bonus.I was very happy with the meal! Each dish was delicious and featured interesting, varying ingredients. While my favorites are always sashimi and sushi, my date prefers warm, prepared dishes. This menu suited us well since we had some of both.The atmosphere was lovely and clearly well thought out. The lighting was just right to see our beautiful plated dishes!We’re looking forward to returning in a few months. The chef said the menu changes every 3-4 months.“
“Where do I even start... this place is bomb.com!! So much value for what you get. Free iced tea, free dessert (we got almond pudding), and lollipops with our check. The food was pretty darn tasty. I got the black garlic ramen and the cold noodles. I would order both again. 100/10!Definitely coming back here.. didn't know it was so close to my work. Such a hidden gem!!!“
“Ate here today and tried a variety of menu items including the bone marrow, which was delicious. Service was good, food had a good variety and filled the tapas role expertly. It all adds up and can be a b it pricey, but I feel like the prices are very reasonable and you should know/expect that. We ate outdoors, which was nice. There's some shade depending on the table and the time of day. Cool, intimate ambience inside.“
“Stopped by for lunch at around 12:30 on a Wednesday. There was no wait. Water was provided extremely fast. Ordered the sushi regular: 7 piece Nigiri and 6 piece CA roll, and a miso soup. It was delicious. Some of the Nigiri had toppings including pickled wasabi and avocado. Everything tasted super fresh and each piece was plentiful. -No skimpy skinny fish pieces. Even the CA roll was good. Looking forward to coming back.“
“Went here for my birthday recently. Couldn't get over how good that food was. I think i might've had a dream about it after. This could be one of the best sushi restaurants in the east bay, especially after so many places closed since covid or went under new management. The service was excellent, i loved the traditional decor, but the food. THE FOOD! So fresh and beautiful, perfect smell and color. I'll definitely come back.“
“A bit heavy on sauce/ seasoning with A5 wayu dinner plate. The nigiri premium is pretty good. Good place for casual dining.The decor in house is absolutely charming. However, one thing I'd like to mention is that I love the artwork carving out "Kyosho" on the wall with the light shining through it. However, I would recommend considering laser cutting for a cleaner finish, it is hard to unsee those rough edges when paying close attention to decor details.“
“This place was great and had good food but not enough for five stars tbh. Some of the food items are great and some are okay and need a bit more seasoning. Sometimes it's hard to get the attention of the staff. Some of the items are a bit pricy.“
“O'Sushi in Newark has always held a special place in my heart when it comes to sushi delights. The range of flavors and the meticulous presentation always lure me in. Among their expansive menu, two rolls stand out for me: the Seattle Roll, packed with rich, cooked salmon complemented by creamy avocado, and the M&M roll. The latter, adorned with spicy mayo, adds that fiery touch that gives each bite an unforgettable zest.However, the experience goes beyond just the food. Like many others, I've faced challenges that deter me from a complete dine-in experience. The last time I decided to visit, I was met with the sad sight of homeless individuals seeking refuge near the entrance. Such a scene tugs at one's heartstrings, making one wish for better facilities and care for them in the city of Newark.Parking, another concern, often turns out to be a mini adventure. The limited spaces in their lot force me to park farther away, adding a bit of a walk to the experience.While the food remains unparalleled, I genuinely hope that Newark takes steps to improve the overall ambiance around businesses, ensuring comfort for all its residents and visitors.“
“Awesome place for dinner! The server was really nice and honest with his responses to my order.I was alone so he gave me suggestions on how to not over-order, fully knowing that the more expensive meal I ordered,the more his tip would be (based on 15% of the order total).I tipped him well anyway because I appreciated it very much!“
“This sushi restaurant has some of the best sashimi in the Tri Valley. The staff are extremely friendly and it sort of a small town diner vibe with lots of regulars and friendly smiles upon entering. There are a couple of very interest specialty rolls and other sushi specialties that are worth trying, and their happy hour specials on beer are hard to pass up.“
“I was craving sushi so I came to naked fish. I ordered two rolls, a philadelphia roll (you know a familiar favorite, it was excellent) and a Jackson roll (super duper delicious). They were both so good and fresh! I had to order a third which was the iron Man roll. Excellent excellent excellent. Service is spectacular. Super nice people, super chill atmosphere. Nice contemporary art. feels like a homie place. I will be back soon to try out the kitchen foods!“
“I was there with my family last Monday(2/12/24) around 3 pm. The servers name I do not remember but I would like to write this review for her, after I accidentally spilled a cup of water she was quick to help us out to clean the table and moved us to another table and assisted with transferring everything for us. She was very welcoming and with great customer service and attentiveness. The food was 10/10, and being a new resident to Fremont, we found our go-to sushi spot. I can't wait to go back.“
“Favorite hot plate place. The curry beef rice with cheese is really good. You can add more seasoning and spice if you'd like. Sometimes there's a wait for a table but they give you your food pretty quick once you've ordered. The fries are good if you eat them right away.“
“If you hadn't come by to try their Japanese skews, then you must give it a try. No rsvp unless you have more than 5 people. I suggest to come here around 6pm because after 630 to 7, you may have to wait about an hr for a table. The place is quite small enough just like the ones in Japan. I ordered 85% of skew food on the menu. I almost tried it all. They grilled them with good timing, so the skews were too cooked and chewy. The ones that got my attention were pork belly, beef short rib, and the whole squid. These 3 you must try. The whole squid was perfectly grilled with just enough sauce to make it juciy. I have to say this place did a very good job on it compared to other places. I also ordered chicken breasts and thighs. They were nicely cooked. I suggest eating it with some light sauce. Very nice services. I would come back if I were in the hood. Keep up the good work!“
“We came here for our family Easter lunch and glad that we were seated right away. We opted the table with stone grill for yakiniko, since we can also order sushi there if we want to. We opted for the Omakase Stone Grill Meat for 2-4 persons. It came with wagyu beefs, toro, short rib galbis, prawns, squids, pork belly cuts and sausages. The set also came with wagyu beef clay pot rice. We also ordered miso soups and ahi poke salad for starters. I think the portions were generous and the food tasted great. Clay pot rice was mom’s favorite, though it wasn’t served in a clay pot so no crispy rice on the bottom like I was expecting. Our server was very nice and attentive without being disruptive. Definitely would go back again. However, a constructive criticism for the management. Pls keep your floors and bathroom clean at all times. It was just 12 noon and floor was filthy and bathroom smelled like puke. These are what customers usually notice and will judge the cleanliness of the entire restaurant!“
“Really good poke, lots of options for how you want it and the fish is fresh with solid portions. Can be pricey though- a large bowl alone can be like $25 with tip. Funny atmosphere to be eating Hawaiian originating dish to some Bad Bunny at a mall where every minute someone is walking in demanding to eat their food they bought somewhere else in the seating area. Just a bit of a wacky atmosphere to recommend you eating in the mall lol“
“Their chicken and rice is delicious I usually ask for no onions in my salad and they're able to work with me but not this last visit they weren't able to do so. Their food might be pricey by one plate usually lasts me two servings. Definitely recommend the teriyaki chicken Aloha plate.“

“Second time in two months. Love this place. Tonight having the teriyaki tofu with soup, salad, and rice. Cubes of silky tofu on a bed of lettuce and shredded cabbage with vegetables. The vegetable tempura appetizer plate was perfect and lasted only a few minutes. Partner had the cherry blossom. Yummy! Great service. VERY clean restaurant. Tucked away in the corner of strip mall near the Round Table Pizza. Dining area in back big enough for a team lunch or dinner“
“SooooGood! Food is so fresh and delicious. Customer service is perfect!I ordered Ton Katsu and it was crunchy outside and still very moist and delicious inside.Salmon sashimi is very fresh and the portion is perfect and filling. Truly authentic Japanese flavour. Will make sure to stop by next time when we go to Fremont!“
“Food was excellent. When they say spicy: you better believe it, but not in a bad way. Just keep in mind that spicy actually means spicy here. Service was fine. It was busy and our server was dealing with coworkers who appeared to just be standing around, so she did the best with what she had. Will definitely go back, the grilled edamame was incredible too.“
“It was my best poke lunch, everything is just top notch from the service, the atmosphere inside to the quality of the food, everything is very fresh and tasty, I will come here with my family and childrenParking: Good location with a lot of parking lot“
“Minami has got to be my family's go-to sushi spot, and for multiple reasons. The people here are so kind! They are patient, friendly, and so accommodating. It is clear that they are loved and appreciated by the community and regulars and it just makes the restaurant feel so much more welcoming and inviting. The food is also delicious. I love the fried oysters and their tempura, and every single roll I've tried. There's so many good roll options and the price isn't bad for the bay area. Overall, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to get sushi :)“
“Vinum is one of the best places to hang out or go on a date any night. We went there on Friday and met Henry, our server. He was super nice and attentive. Henry went over the menu with us and recommended a few drinks. The food was delicious and came out quickly. The prices were decent, and the portions were good for sharing. The restaurant wasn't noisy, and there was a good view near the window. Henry always checked on us and was very friendly. Even though Friday was a busy night for him, he still constantly checked on our table to make sure we had everything we needed. We loved the place and the service so much that we came back on Tuesday night. We met Henry again, and once again, he gave us excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this place for the food, drinks, ambience, and of course, the customer service. Check them out if you're undecided on where to go for a date night!“
“Yummm and I love their all day HH. I came here on a Tuesday around 5-6pm. It wasn't popping and was kinda dead but I kinda expected that on a Tuesday. We got the two rolls for $20 deal. I got the dragon roll and my partner got the lion king. We also got the agedashi tofu. The food was enjoyable and the price was great. We'll be coming back for their all day HH again.“
“It's a very popular place in Fremont, love their sushi and their special rolls. The staff are nice and friendly but unfortunately, it's very busy at weekends and ordering food for pickup takes at least an hour since they don't have enough staff for all the orders.I recommend Dragon, Crazy and Tokyo rolls“
“One of my favorite Japanese spots in Hayward. Kinda hidden on a side street.I love that they let me order salmon sashimi in the bento box, and I can have it with salmon teriyaki for even more salmon! Very tasty. They've got a double salmon sushi roll that my 7yo daughter loves, because I've apparently gotten her hooked on eating too much salmon as well haha. My sushi-disliking husband doesn't mind coming here either because they've got a variety of other things for him, like beef teriyaki and udon bowls.The service is pretty minimal, but not unfriendly. The server just tends to disappear and is pretty quiet. They're part of the Together For Hayward program, so if you can snag one of the limited-time deals on those gift certificates, the already low prices here are even better.“
“This is a great spot to get a good, quick sushi fix! Wasn't sure what to expect given the unassuming location and counter service format, but all the rolls I had were very good and the fish was fresh. Service was really friendly too.Parking: Lots of easy parkingWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“
“I’ve had a lot of ramen all over the west coast and this restaurant easily is the best ramen I’ve ever had. Simple, delicious, and heart-warming. Every ingredient is cooked perfectly with care. The chashu made me want to cry tears of joy. I cannot wait to return for more!“
