I visited Anika's last night. It was a little busy at first, but we were able to grab a booth right away, which was a great start. We ordered the Volcano Roll, Mango Crunch Roll, and Instagram Roll. The Mango Crunch Roll was definitely my favorite. It had a nice kick, so if you like spicy food, this one is a must-try. The Volcano and Instagram rolls were both really good too. We also tried the Fremont Fire Roll, which came out literally on fire. The presentation was cool and definitely eye-catching, but the flavor didn't quite live up to the hype. I was expecting more given how dramatic it looked. Overall, it was a really good experience. One thing that stood out was that by around 8 PM, the restaurant had completely cleared out, which felt a little unusual. Also, I remember they used to serve a crunchy appetizer before the meal, but we didn't get that this time. Not sure if they stopped doing that. Still, solid spot and I'd definitely come back, especially for that Mango Crunch Roll. read more

My mom and I wanted to go this one Japanese restaurant but parking is too full and decided to turn around to go to this one instead. I've been here before but that's been years since I last visited. This is a surprising experience because I didn't expect a place to be almost empty on a Saturday afternoon. The place looks nice though. I really like the art and decorations here. Also, it's not humid here since they probably use AC. We wanted to order 9pc sashimi but didn't eat other items that come with it since we ordered our own lunch specials. It's just too many food. From our lunch specials, they not only come with rice and a side but other items like tofu. That's unusual for a Japanese restaurant to serve but it adds a unique touch. The food is actually good though, but I believe that the representations of our meals should improve a bit since they kinda look like something you can get from a grocery at the hot meals section. Also, the lunch plates are too big that we can't fit everything. Therefore, we decided to ask the staff to remove anything that comes with a sashimi. read more

Came in on a Saturday evening and luckily there was no wait. There's a good amount of tables inside. It was a bit hot and stuffy when we went, despite it being low 70s. My husband and I ordered a few rolls. He got the Fremont fire and warrior roll. He definitely preferred the Fremont fire, which came out on fire and was loaded with shrimp tempura, crab meat, and spicy tuna inside. I got the lion king and spider man roll. Personally was not a fan of the spider man roll as it was huge and difficult to eat. Also, just didn't taste as good compared to lion king. The roll sizes are big though and I thought it was worth the price. The menu is huge with a bunch of sushi rolls, fresh sushi/sashimi, entree items, etc. Definitely liked the variety so will be back to check out the other items. Hoping to try their lunch special as they had a lot of options for good prices, especially their bentos. The service was good and food came out fairly quickly. Overall, nice sushi spot in a convenient plaza with plenty of parking. Will be back! read more

Aniki's Sushi is an underrated spot for delicious and fresh sushi that's affordable. I really like how generous their portions and sashimi sizes were while being fresh and high-quality.

First time here and the last. There was a white long hair in my roll and had an upset stomach right after. My cousin was fine but the only difference we had with what we ate was me trying the hamachi nigiri. Got sick and won't be back after also reading that quality went down. Please do better read more

This is a friend's favorite sushi spot in east bay and we had to try it! Our group ordered 3 dinner combos - 2 teriyaki salmon and 1 chicken katsu along with a special roll. The portion sizes were generous for all. The salmon teriyaki was grilled and seasoned very well. The combos came with 4 pieces of tuna roll which was nice. The salad, miso soup completed the meal. We wanted to cut a friend's birthday cake to celebrate and the staff were okay with that. They were super sweet and provided us with a knife and tray to help with the cake cutting. The ambience is casual and the place is super clean. Would recommend checking them out if you're in the area craving some sushi! read more

Their rolls here are HUGE, definitely good value for the price. I came around lunch on a weekday, and they were able to accommodate our party of 4 strollers easily. Staff were kind and helpful. - Enter the dragon (4/5) - their version of a dragon roll, was pretty good - Heavanly Chris (5/5) - not spicy at all, I really loved the taste of this one and would highly recommend - Ultimate KO (4/5) - has one chile pepper on the menu, but not spicy at all, just a little mild kick. We also got tempura and edamame for the table, both were yummy read more

We had a late lunch at Aniki's. We had the following: Golden State Sushi - Crab, shrimp tempura, salmon, unagi Hamachi Lover - Yellowtail fish with avocado Exceptional flavors! Their tempura only has 1 shrimp and big portions of diff veggies. I liked their crispy tempura flakes with cucumber and dressing appetizer. Generous portions, we had leftover sushi to go. Lovely service and great find! read more

Three stars because fish was totally NOT fresh and additionally you cannot customize your order online unless you call them... on top of artificial wasabi. I appreciate the 2 chopsticks and 3 packs of brand name shoyu! Sushi rice was well done; not too sticky and fell apart nicely/palatable. Love the array of rolls available. Bento boxes are lackluster selection wise... wish I could pick tonkatsu (pork based since I don't consume poultry) but I can't. What the heck. Plus bentos are pricer from what you get (2 choices) in comparison to others in the area. Server was super friendly and had a nice smile! And quickly knew me by name (yes reasonably I was the only one who ordered online at that time...). Went during peak hours and there were only two tables dining in. Located within the new dollar tree and mega mart plaza. Therefore lots of parking for you to pick from. However, do not follow Google maps if you are coming from the Washington blvd direction because it directs you to the back lot... ughhh. read more

Sushi, bento, curry, or noodles - Aniki's Sushi has it all! Despite their vast menu, the quality of their dishes is still exceptional and for a fair price. We came in on a weekend lunch but it was easy to find a spot in the shared parking lot and quick to get seated at a booth. The every wall of the room is decorated by custom artwork from what I would presume is a local artist. The colors and designs really brighten up the place and add a bit of character. As we sat down, the staff handed out a number of menus and waters with lemon slices. Their menu covers quite a spread of items that are sure to satisfy your craving for anything Japanese. If you're looking for something cold, you'll have plenty of options with their nigiri, rolls, and sashimi. If your stomach is needing something hot, you'll have baked rolls, grilled fish, ramen/udon noodles, curry and rice, and teriyaki bowls. For a complete meal, their bentos and combos are great. They typically include a salad, soup, rice, a hearty entree, and a side of your choice among nigiri/sashimi/roll, tempera, and gyoza. Their kids menu for kids 10 years and younger is also very good value! Tonkatsu - crispy and tender cuts of chicken thigh destined to be dipped in the thick, tangy and flavorful sauce and gobbled with the generous serving of rice. A good number of pieces of chicken on a bed of cabbage! Saba shioyaki - grilled mackerel with the traditional salting method is an excellent protein-rich entree with healthy fats. The natural flavors come out best this way and taste great by itself or with the side or rice. Enter the dragon roll - each one of these morsels was packed with protein (eel and shrimp) as well as the other fixings like avocado and imitation crab. We ordered the combo and it came with a miso soup and a side of three pieces of nigiri. Shareable and filling! Gyoza - crispy and meaty! Dunk them in the dipping sauce! Came with four pieces in the kid bento. California roll - big pieces and huge chunks of avocado! Yum! Came with six pieces in the kid bento. Tuna roll - hearty and refreshing bite full of about half tuna and half avocado in the center. Great balance. Came with six pieces in the combo. Nigiri - good portion of fish on top of equally fair portion of rice. Had red snapper, tuna, and salmon. The food came out pretty quick and everything was photo-worthy, and we couldn't wait to dig in. They noticed the kids had a bit of trouble with the chopsticks and came out with some chopstick holders that helped them use them like tongs. Very proactive on that front, however, we did have to specifically ask for wasabi/ginger despite us having raw fish in our meal (I would have expected this to be included with the nigiri). Overall, Aniki's Sushi has it all and seems to have great consistency in food quality, freshness, presentation and taste. We didn't get to try everything but this visit definitely left a good impression and we will probably be back to try the other goodies. With their combos and kid menu, you'll get a bargain for great food that will feed the whole family. With their immense list of rolls, Aniki's may rival similar sushi spots around here and they may benefit from a rewards system like their competitors. Although they don't seem to get much foot traffic, their central location will surely be a convenient spot for those looking to hop in for a quick lunch or a nice dinner spread (just keep in mind of their break between lunch and dinner service). Sushi is certainly a highlight here, but Aniki's has plenty more to offer! read more

The quality has unfortunately gone down hill, the only roll I order they no longer put the Macadamia nuts but instead use peanuts, which totally changes the roll taste and appearance. They still advertise it with Macadamia nuts, then they wanted to charge me $1.50 extra which I agreed to only to a phone call later saying they only have peanuts. At that point I cancelled my order and I don't plan on going back, they lost my business. Going to Torro's instead. read more

Food: delicious for vegetarian sushi in Fremont this place offers one page of vegetarian sushi flavors are really good. I would say it's pretty tasty Service: pretty fast, but also I came when there weren't that many people there so to be fair it's pretty fast Ambience: great, cute place. I loved all the hip-hop rap artist pictures on the wall as well as a cute little booth so you could have an intimate experience. * as a vegetarian it's hard to find good sushi that's flavorful. I found this place wonderful and the chef even made substitutions and added ingredients for me so I really appreciated. That definitely say come here. read more

Making my rounds at some of my favorite spots as I get ready to move away from Fremont (finally) anyway Aniki's is a gem and we have had many good times and good meals here. Today I had a lunch special that was as good as I expected the fried salmon roll came with a miso soup and a side of California roll, it was a great deal for $20 bucks. The service could be more attentive but they only had 1 server during the lunch hour. read more

Final Thoughts: 4.29/5 It's rare that I get to go to Fremont for a meal or anything at all for that matter, but I got the chance this week. The cuisines and foods that I found most enticing around the area were sushi and Korean foods. Ultimately, this was our choice. Quite the pleasant experience overall. Food: Spicy Crunch Crab Salad: 4.2/5 Mixed imitation crab on the bottom and then it's topped with the crunch and some cucumbers. I'm assuming the crunch is fried tempura batter. I love the texture from this dish. It's really nothing extravagant, but all the components work well together. I ate this with the rolls because I personally think it tastes better with some rice. The cucumber gave it some of that freshness and even more crunch to top it off. The first look impression was very underwhelming, but ultimately, I did enjoy it. T N T: 3.8/5 This is one of their baked rolls. Inside contains spicy tuna and the outside has salmon, rich spicy sauce with fish eggs. This is actually the roll that initially caught the attention of my friend and I. It was the three chili peppers and the large, red, bolded sign that read "NO REFUND!" next to it that made me want to get it. With all of that warning, I was expecting it to be some kind of ghost pepper spice of sorts, but it's not. It tastes and feels almost like a sriracha spicy. It's the painful kind of spicy too versus being a flavorful spice. It's mild for me, but try and eat at your own discretion. The flavor is quite rich from the sauce and salmon. Mango Crunch: 4.3/5 The crunch is always one of the best parts and the rolls here really deliver on that. This roll has mango and spicy crab on the inside and salmon, avocado, spicy mayo, crunch, and unagi sauce on the outside. Very simple ingredients, but they work really well together. Anything with unagi sauce usually make it taste good, so needless to say, I did enjoy this roll. The flavors are quite balanced and I like the richness from the salmon and sauces. You can tell when there's too much mayo because the flavor overpowers the rest of the roll. This one had a good balance. The mango actually gives the roll this freshness. The flavor is subtle, but it does it's fair share in contributing. InstaGram: 4.3/5 **Allergy warning for this one, as it does contain crushed peanuts as a garnish on top.** The different kinds of fish is what made this roll for me. This roll had salmon, spicy tuna, yamagobo, avocado on the inside and 4 kinds of fish tobiko, green onion, nuts, spicy mayo, and unagi sauce on the outside. There are a lot of components an ingredients to this dish and they all seemed to work nicely together. The flavors are very similar to the mango crunch because a lot of the stronger flavors are from the unagi sauce, spicy mayo, and fish. Menu: Options are available My friend and I only got their rolls and an appetizer today, but there are other options on their menu. They have rolls, bowls, ramen, appetizers, etc., so there are alternatives available. --------- Quality: Good for me I felt that the quality was quite good. There was nothing spectacular that I could point out about the items that we received, but they were all enjoyable for me. I'm not the queen of sushi or anything, so my palate isn't trained for this. Price: Fair for Bay Area The prices seem normal for a sushi place. Price ranges for each roll is going to be between $15 to $20 depending on what you get. If we get technical about the ingredients though, the price might sound a little more expensive, but for bay area prices, this is going to be within the range that you'll see for other places, as well. Service: Normal Nothing too significant to note here. Our server was quite sweet and we only had a few interactions with her. She came in to get the order, check on us once, provide the food, and then lastly, the check. Very straightforward dining experience here. Ambiance: Your average restaurant It was your standard restaurant. I personally like booth tables because it's just nicer having your own closed space for me. I can be loud sometimes, so it's nice to keep my volume better enclosed in the space. There were a few tables already present, but we were able to choose a booth table. This day was on a Tuesday evening during dinner time too. Just a simple pleasant dinner today. Location/Parking: Lots of spaces available This plaza seems quite small, but that's perhaps because I didn't explore the other side of the parking lot. From the way I entered, this place was right in the front near the stop sign. Lots of parking spaces were left on the side, but my friend and I were each able to get a spot right at the front of the door. There were many spaces left to park though, so I don't think it would be a concern here. read more

This place is always busy. We were lucky to be seated right away during lunch after church. We go to this restaurant every so often since it's located in Central Fremont.

*LOCATION* This restaurant is located in the same plaza as the Korean market (Mega Mart). There is plenty of free parking in the parking lot. It never seems to be very busy on this side of the plaza so parking is never difficult IMO. *WAIT TIME* We visited on a Wednesday ~6:15pm. There were only a few tables filled so we were seated pretty quickly. *FOOD* Edamame: if you make a post about the restaurant on Instagram, you can get a free bowl of edamame! Hamachi lover special roll: generous Hamachi slices and avocado pieces, felt a lil plain without any sauces Sin city special roll: surprisingly crunchy and flavorful sauces, wasn't a fan of how the fish tasted warm though Instagram special roll: sooo many yummy fish and flavors in each bite, the nuts added a nice contrasting texture, my fav of the night! *SERVICE* We got our waters pretty quickly but the food took surprisingly long. At the end of the meal, we had to go up to get the bill ourselves because we couldn't find a waiter to help. *AMBIENCE* The interior décor was pretty cool but I felt like the food itself was just overall ok. I didn't think there was anything super outstanding about the meal so this place prob isn't at the top of my go-to list :( read more

Ordered the TNT roll. When the waitress dropped off the roll, she said "the lion roll". We said, "oh we ordered the TNT roll". She said "oh this is the TNT roll". We checked the menu and it is clearly the lion roll... not the TNT roll. The chef refused to remake the roll and gaslit us that it is the TNT roll, not the lion roll. Otherwise, the mango roll was good. Update: Staff was kind enough to bring a lion roll to reassure us that they really did give us the TNT roll. Final Verdict: The fish inside the "TNT" roll was correct, but they appeared to have used the wrong sauce. read more

As a vegetarian, it's a little difficult finding vegetarian sushi (no, not pescatarian so I don't eat fish ). So one of my friends had introduced this place a few years back and it's become one of my go-to spots. They have at least 12 options and my review is for 3 rolls I've tried: vegetarian Sophia Mango Mac, & Vegetarian pixie. We also had the spicy garlic edamame. Food: 5/5 The rolls are fire! I'm sure the sushi with fish must be equally fire as well! Cleanliness: 5/5 Tables are clean, organized seating Ambiance: 5/5 I like the painting portraits in the restaurant. It shows personality of the owner. Good for: large groups of people, families, date night, to-go This place can get packed so I'd recommend to go there before the lunch/dinner rushes or expect to wait for a little bit if you're a bigger party. read more

We came here on Valentine's Day for dinner and it was packed. The wait time was around 20mins so it wasn't too bad. The space is small, so it was expected. Food came out pretty quickly.

I'm curious about all the other rolls! read more

We were here with our friends to spend the evening. We were seated immediately as there were seats available. We ordered different sushi and sashimi and hot sake. We also ordered one grilled sushi. We enjoyed the food and the company of our friends but we were being rushed even though it was not busy and full. After multiple times they came to check if we were done we ordered another sake and still they were waiting on us to finish and leave. Finally we decided to leave and so after paying the bill we left. I'm not sure if I will go back but it was an experience. read more

A bit overwhelming because you don't even know where to start. They have all sorts of combinations of special rolls and the basic go to rolls.

Located next door to Dollar Tree in Fremont. Small, cozy restaurant; went there on a Thursday night around 8pm and it was fairly empty. Ordered the agadashi tofu for appetizer and the combo spicy chicken and spicy tuna roll for the entree. Service was good. Dinner came on a tray with soup, salad, cold tofu, rice and pickled veggies.

This was our first visit to this restaurant, and we were exceedingly pleased! We had four different dishes, and all were luscious!!! We are looking for ward to going back. Service was good, and attentive. My only criticism about this business, is their deceptive discount coupon, which we got in our ValuePak. The coupon, in HUGE letters, exclaims: 50% OFF ENTIRE MEAL !! but then, in tiny print underneath, it says (up to $10 maximum)... Given that our ticket was $86 overall, that offer was rather specious... I didn't drop rating because of this, since the actual experience was very good, but the deception definitely left a bad taste in my throat... read more

Another Bay Area Sushi flop sadly. You can barley taste the fish quality or differentiate the taste of the rolls because the rolls are drenched in toooo much sauce. If that's your vibe you'll like this place (& probably have never had food sushi) however, I def don't plan on returning. In addition, to go to the bathroom you must pass by the kitchen (which is fine), however I smelled something that was not pleasant at all to say the least while passing the kitchen. read more

It's been ages since I last visited but came here with a friend a week night and it appears they changed owners or downsized their menu. Items ordered that evening were "A-OK" to good but nothing standout as they didn't even offer amaebi (sweet shrimp) nigiri with the fried heads which is a first to any Japanese spot I've been to. : Raiders Roll - Shrimp tempura, avocado, crab*) out (crunch, special sauce) - good 3.5 stars :: Lion King - baked salmon avocado, mayo, tobiko, green onion - this roll seemed mushy like the rice was overcooked or had too much mayo - 3 stars :: Sooki So So Fresh - Tuna, Salmon, Ebi, Hamachi, Avocado, Wakame Wrapped with Cucumber & Ponzu Sauce - this didn't have any rice which I seem to prefer that evening. Light, fresh and delicious - 4 :: Spicy Garlic Edamame - garlicky, spicy - ok :: Mixed Tempura - friend enjoyed it and said was light and good. Overall, it was a 3.5 star experience as our server was friendly but definitely a language barrier asking about drinks (other than sake and beer) and menu items. That evening the sushi rice was a bit off for me and why my fave roll (sans sushi rice) was the Sookie So So Fresh...possibly try again at some point. Pricing in line with other like places with shared, lot parking. read more

Used to be one of my absolute favorite sushi spots in Fremont! But I think they changed their menu and got rid of one of my favorite rolls called the OMG roll when I visited last..
