    Sashimi Regular
    Rui Y.

    This spot is tucked into a small plaza with a number of other restaurants--finding parking is tough, so be warned! We were lucky to snag a spot and were seated pretty quickly, even though they seem pretty busy. The service was quite good here; they saw when I dropped my chopsticks and replaced it for me almost immediately, and were very attentive to even just eye contact as a request for service. They also offered us a small dish complimentary edamame as a starter and a little scoop of free ice cream at the end, which was a wonderful touch. The food came out really quickly after we ordered. The sashimi was really good! The selection of rolls wasn't my favorite (a lot of them contained crab salad, which I usually don't go for), but I did like the agedashi tofu a lot. If you visit for lunch, they have a couple really great lunch special options. I have tried the 3 rolls for ~$16 combo, and it is definitely worth it. The rolls came out a bit messy and not quite uniform, but they tasted perfectly good. Overall, I would (and have) come back! It feels very much like a middle-of-the-road sushi spot with pretty agreeable pricing, and I think it's a good choice for a casual, unpretentious sushi meal.

    Strawberry Ice cream

    I think this may be my new favorite sushi place in fremont. To start off, they gave us complimentary yummy edamame. I think Chicken Karaage can definitely be better, it was ok, not bad. I got the Mango crunch roll which was really good loved the flavor. Also we loved the monster roll (shrimp tempura) and the sauce on top really added to the flavor. One of the rolls we got had baked salmon on top, which seemed tasted ok, I think layer could've been a bit thicker. We also got complimentary ice cream at the end of our meal, strawberry this time, not a fan of strawberries but appreciate the gesture. Service was great as well!

    Veggie Crispy Roll
    Ami J.

    My hubby and I finally got a date night in on Friday and ended up at Kiya Sushi in Fremont. Well worth the wait! As a vegetarian, I always walk into sushi spots mentally bracing for slim pickings. But Kiya actually delivered. The veggie options felt intentional and not a substitution tacked onto the menu. Everything was fresh and well put together, and you could tell the kitchen has standards for what goes out. I went with the Veggie Crispy Roll (subbed soy paper) and the Mango Secret as-is. Both were delish and would recommend if you're a veggie lover! A little spotlight for their garlic edamame! The spice, the garlic - it was so well flavored/balanced that I found myself using the regular edamame and dipping it into the leftover garlic/spices. Haha One heads up on seating: if you're going on a weekend, grab a reservation. We walked in and waited about 20 min for two, which wasn't bad, but the spot is cozy. Lots of 2 and 4-top tables packed in pretty close together. Plan accordingly! Overall a great find and a solid date night spot. We'll be back.

    This is a better than average neighborhood sushi restaurant that gets extra points for presentation and food quality. The service can be a little bit. Hurried and brusque but they are efficient and it is clear that Is their goal. We went on a Saturday night and it was busy enough considering we went around 7:30 but there was not a line out the door. Like most places these days they have a fair amount of to go and pick up orders as well, however, that did not impede the service in the restaurant. The dining room is small with a pleasant ambiance and brightly lit, and the bathrooms were quite clean as well. I would like to try to visit on another day, perhaps a week night when it does not seem so hectic. They did give us a very nice little scoop of strawberry ice cream., complimentary to palate cleanse at the end of the meal.A nice spot if you do not mind the hurried style of service.

    Shrimp Tempura
    Ariana H.

    I looked on Yelp for my husband's favorite food and found Kiya Sushi. When we showed up, parking was really tight with a lot of cars going in and out--the lot is way too small for the number of businesses there. Nevertheless, we stayed and were told it would be a 40-minute wait for a party of eight. They were really busy and had a lot of people waiting at the door, so they were short with us and barely spoke. Unfortunately, once we were seated, the service didn't get any better. We sat for at least 5-10 minutes with no one coming to our table, so we finally asked someone passing by if we could put our order in. She told us to wait and that she'd be right back. When she returned, she said it wasn't a good time to place the order because they were really busy... like, what??? We asked her to clarify two more times, and we heard her right--she wanted us to wait to order because the food would take too long since they were so busy. Not sure how waiting would help when they were still taking other tables' orders. We decided to go ahead and put our order in anyway and just wait. Since we were a party of eight, the food came out sporadically. Some of us got soups (for those who ordered full plates), and some sushi started coming out. We were starving--it was almost 8pm--so we started eating. Unfortunately, my kids were the last to get their food since they ordered chicken teriyaki plates. Once everything arrived, I have to say a lot of it was really good. We got: Angry Fish Sushi: 4/5 Mango Spider: 5/5 California Hand Roll: 4/5 Shrimp Tempura Roll: 5/5 49er Roll: 3/5 Teriyaki Chicken Plate: 4/5 Shrimp tempura: 10/10 best sauce we have ever tasted. Overall, we were really happy with the food once it came, but I wish the service had been way better. I understand being busy, but at that point, they should hire more people to help.

    Salmon teriyaki lunch special
    Karen W.

    My sister had a doctor's appointment at the nearby Kaiser Medical Center and I wanted to try this place for lunch afterwards. Found a parking right in front which said reserved but the hostess said it was ok to park there. We walked in and it's a cozy place and ordered 2 salmon teriyaki lunch specials, which come with miso soup, a generous salad with delicious dressing, 2 gyozas light and crispy, 4 California rolls, and of course the tasty salmon. I also ordered a Salmon Skin handroll full of yummy crunchy salmon skin and to top off the meal, we were each given a delicious complimentary scoop of green tea ice cream! I will definitely come back to this place with the great service, tasty food and cozy ambience.

    I think this is one of the best sushi spots in Fremont! The rolls are priced pretty reasonably and everything always tastes fresh. The only downside is the parking lot can get packed and difficult to find parking, but still worth adding this place to my restaurant rotation. The hamachi carpaccio here is one of my favorites!

    Katarina R.

    BEST sushi spot in the area. Located in a small shopping center, Kiya Sushi is easily accessible. It's always busy, so don't be surprised if you have to wait a bit before getting seated as it's not a huge space. Service is great, staff is attentive. Onto the sushi... SO fresh, great quality, and can't beat it for the price. I've been here often enough and never had a miss. I love the number 1 roll (cucumber wrapped) because it's a low carb option with amazing citrusy flavor. I've had a handful of their rolls and they're all incredible. Another item I always order is the Takoyaki. Personally, I like them pretty crispy on the outside and a decent amount of octopus inside. These hit that mark perfectly! Will always be my go to spot

    Salmon mango
    Yash T.

    TLDR : Great food, nice ambience and quick service Loved the place for the amazing Sushi rolls! A nice and wonderful ambiance with a cool spot to see your rolls getting prepared. The crunchy rolls were good and the fish was fresh. Loved the jalapeño bombs! Overall a great experience

    Dinner Combination - Curry Katsu and Saba Shioyaki
    Rony Q.

    Great service and good food! Throughout the meal, our server was very attentive and kind. She offered us edamame to start off the meal and green tea ice cream to close off our meal, all on the house. My fried and I got the dinner combos, with curry katsu and the saba shioyaki. Portion was good, but frankly the meal didn't particularly stand out. My favorite part of the meal was actually the salad, it was really fresh and the dressing was delicious. I'll be back to try the sushi to give a more accurate review :)

    Corina M.

    Found on DoorDash and everything was delicious!!! Not overpriced and very fair value. Can't wait to go in person and try the omakase! We got the Golden gate, titanic, Kiya and warriors roll. 10/10 for sure!

    Finally I have found actual good quality sushi in the Bay Area. This place is a hidden gem. I'm originally from Seattle and spend almost a decade living in Vegas. Both foodie places with high quality seafood and sushi with a plethora of options. I've lived in the Bay Area for almost 5 years, and have been genuinely disappointed with the lack of sushi options and lackluster. There's one other sushi restaurant I found that is high quality, but it's all the way in San Mateo. This one is close to home and is our new go-to sushi spot! We came on a weekday evening. It was busy but we were sat right away as there was one table open. Ambiance is casual, it looks like a small family run business. Our services was attentive and the staff thanked us as we left. We loved every item we ordered on the menu, which doesn't happen too often. We ordered miso soup, chicken karaage, a Bento plate, and 4 different sushi rolls. I forgot the names, but the cucumber wrapped no-rice roll and the roll topped with black Masago, were my favorites! So happy this place exists,

    Dream box #1
    Trina H.

    Celebrated my mom's birthday here. Restaurant is small but was packed throughout the whole night. All the dishes were very reasonably priced and fresh tasting. - dream box #1: 5/5 I loved everything. Came with real wasabi and all so so fresh. They even asked if I want the ebi shrimp head to be made into a soup. - chicken karaage: 5/5 juicy chicken fried so crispy - lobster roll: 3.5/5 you really can't taste the lobster in here but still good - garlic edamame 2/5 more on the sour side and too spicy I wish I lived closure otherwise this would be a very frequent weekly dinner

    I visited Anika's last night. It was a little busy at first, but we were able to grab a booth right…read moreaway, 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.

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.
