20 Best Japanese Restaurants in Santa Clara

“Had a great experience at Mikiya! The food was delicious, especially the Wagyu and shabu-shabu. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere was really nice.

Special thanks to Thura, our server! He was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service overall, and I’d definitely come back again!“

“Taichi Pot Shabu Shabu offers an exceptional dining experience! The quality of the ingredients is outstanding, with fresh vegetables and premium meats that cook perfectly in the flavorful broth. The interactive dining style is not only fun but also allows for personalized meal creation. The staff is friendly and helpful, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Whether you're a shabu-shabu veteran or a first-timer, Taichi Pot is a must-visit.“

“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!“

“I was surprised by how good these are for the price. For a food stand in the middle of the mall, I didnt know if it was going to be worth trying but the signs look good and overall looked well designed so I gave it a shot. I got the sweet soy salmon and spicy tuna at around $11 total. Good quick snack option while in between shopping or waiting for a restaurant table. You order through a kiosk and someone hands you your order in about 5 minutes.“

“Everything great except for the pork 😔“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“I had a great time over there. Delicious food 🥘“

“great service and food. beautiful coy pond as well“

“awesome food love it here“

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

“Asian fast Food was great“

“For pasta, the sauce offers an intriguing fusion of Japanese and Italian flavors, while the pasta is cooked perfectly delivering a wonderfully chewy texture. The uni pasta is wonderfully creamy and rich, and it's best shared to keep every bite as enjoyable as the first.

For dessert, I was excited to try matcha tiramisu , but unfortunately it wasn't quite for me. The combination of mascarpone and heavy cream felt a bit too rich for my taste, and the matcha flavor was more subtle than I was expecting. But the layer of custard is a nice touch, reinforcing its Japanese fusion identity.“

“Best sushi hands down! 🍣🍣“

“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.“

“Best sushi hands down! 🍣🍣“
