Be sure to make a reservation before hand because this place sure gets busy! Me and my friend ordered a ton of dishes because each portion is very small. My favorite is the salmon rice with dashi, it was so flavorful and the hot dashi cooked the raw salmon a bit when poured in. I also liked the soba, it was very refreshing and good portion. We also tried their house made tofu, it was pretty unique, the texture was almost kinda like cream cheese. At each table there is a small bell which you could press to call the servers so it was very convenient, the servers were very patient and when we asked, also gave us a bunch of recommendations. It could get a bit pricey since each dish is small and it builds up, but definitely worth a visit! read more

Came in during dinner time and it was packed! We ordered edamame, tori soba noodles, smoked duck, and the homemade tofu! Edamame was really good, especially the spicy one. Tori Soba Noodles was very savory and tasted like they added a lot of dashi! Yummy! Smoked Duck was the best thing I had tonight since it was juicy, well seasoned, and tender! Homemade Tofu was really silky and melts in your mouth. This is the app to get!! The restaurant was very busy with servers working quickly to make sure everyone is happy. Restaurant also felt very casual. Will be coming back! read more

Leichi is a small but delicious Japanese restaurant! We came with a party of 6 and we squeezed in a booth - I def think this is a more intimate dining experience. The service was great - they checked in on us often. The dishes here are a bit pricy but they are definitely tasty. We got the cold tempura udon and the steak Bento. We were definitely full by the end of the meal! I would want to come back and try their other dishes. read more

This is one of my favorite Japanese late night eats spots in the Bay Area. Their fish is always super fresh and delicious. The presentation is also always on point. Something that is not on point is the service because the server dropped off our sashimi plate without telling us which fish is what and my tea was never refilled. I would recommend getting there as soon as they open if you want to have a proper dinner as seating is pretty limited. read more

Overall loved our meal here. You can tell the ingredients are good quality, and there is attention to detail. I wouldn't say the meal blew me away, and there were a couple dishes (such as the potato salad and karaage) that were pretty average, but there were other dishes that I thought were really good. I also appreciated that some of the menu items were unique, and wouldn't be able to be found easily at other restaurants. We ended up staying a bit late past their lunchtime closing time, so I am grateful that they let us slow eaters stay and finish our meal without a rush! read more

Stopped by Leichi since it is close to me now that I've moved. Made a reservation a few hours before. Two of us ordered: -tako wasa $9, pretty good appetizer -sashimi 6 kinds $35.50, decent variety -nankotsu $9, chicken cartilage, really enjoyed it -nasu dengaku $9.50 egg plant, definitely avoid, almost too saucey to eat -tongue grill $15, fun to have a grill come out. Tasted ok. Overall decent meal. Will want to try their treasure box in the future. Parking is easy to find in the plaza. read more

Tiny portions for high prices. I think the move would be to get the duck soba to fill up and then enjoy the tiny pieces of fish and meat. Tables are tiny and you have to order a lot of dishes to get full. They try to not bring you everything at once, since there's no way it can fit. Everything we had was delicious. The sashimi was so fresh and delicate. The grilled meats were sliced tiny and thin and tender. Duck soba had a very light broth, 3 small pieces of meat, and a reasonable amount of noodle. The various grilled fish were delicious, but I think the salmon was my favorite. Parking is easy since it's in a large grocery store parking lot. This place is very popular. We checked in with our reservation and were still left waiting outside in the cold for a while (there is not a lot of space inside to wait). read more

Presentation was excellent but like other reviews, I wasn't too impressed with the taste of the food. The only thing we liked a lot was their ice cream at the end of our meal. The food was also on the pricey side. If you mention that you're celebrating a birthday, they might give you a dessert. I came here to celebrate my birthday :) booking via their website was pretty easy. The place did get very packed for dinner time. Fortunately we got to sit on a corner where we got to enjoy our meal without seeing many people around us. So this provided a cozy and semi private space for my friend and I to enjoy the meal together. Service was also very attentive. Overall 3 stars for food taste and 4 stars for everything else. read more

Was taken here for the first time by my wife and her coworkers for dinner. Maybe because they recommended the place from a positive previous experience, but we ended up quite disappointed with the experience. To make it quick, the dining environment was quite nice. I have no complaints about the ambiance and cleanliness. It's a quiet, comfortable restaurant. Where it went downhill was the food and service. One of our orders (for beef tongue) was so late that we had already finished our food, and I'm pretty certain it was only after we reminded them that they had brought it out eventually. The restaurant was certainly not busy that night, and the beef tongue was something we had to cook ourselves so that delay made little sense. Our biggest issue was with the food. It wasn't bad (if it was, that would be deserving of one star). It was just some of the smallest portions I'd ever seen given at a Japanese restaurant (which is saying something, considering they're usually small to begin with). I ordered something that was supposed to be something similar to a small chirashi. As you can see in the picture, it's literally one or two scallops sliced into a few pieces, a few tiny pieces of uni, and some ikura. The bowl couldn't have been more than 4 inches in diameter, and other than what you see on the surface, the rest was just rice. I really paid over $35 for a small bowl of rice with a couple pieces of seafood. I don't even think I've been to Michelin restaurants that charge that much for that quality and quantity. This was probably the single biggest ripoff at a restaurant I've experienced in a while, and that's not even including tax and tip. The crab chawanmushi was good though, and that with ambiance kept it from being given 1 star. Value is pretty important to me, and the quality and quantity of food, in addition to the poor service, really does not make the experience anywhere near the price. I don't expect to come here again. read more

We were visiting the bay area and were invited for lunch here. Yes, a reservation is definitely recommended as they get really busy here....as the place is not very big. However, it is a cute little cozy and charming place to have some very good quality Japanese food. Yes, the food here is very good.....the sashimi very fresh, sliced to a perfect thickness, and served at just the right temperature. The Mixed Tempura was equally as fresh and had a very nice light crunch to the coating, the Assorted Hot Pot was very comforting.....but let it cool first as it's boiling HOT! The Agedashi Tofu is very authentic and tasted just the way I like it, and the Miso Gindara Saikyo (black cod) was grilled to perfection...soft, flaky, and mouth-meltingly delicious. So, why not 5 stars? We had ordered a lot of sashimi, but they only gave us a small bit of it. I asked our server for more wasabi and she said that there would be an extra $3 charge for more wasabi.....seriously? This really spoiled most of my dining experience here for sure. read more

Uni was $50 market price but they gave a good amount of it. It was delicious! Wagyu and beef tongue was also very good with the stone grill. My mom liked the hamachi kama although it was rather small. Really great Japanese restaurant with good food! The space is a little small and cramped though and right next to a liquor store. Hopefully they can expand and upgrade to a bigger space in another location. Service was friendly and prompt, no complaints. I would recommend this place for a quiet, intimate date night or a quick bite after work with friends! read more

I crave the soba from Leichi. Specifically, the duck soba. Yes, you read that correctly duck... And it is absolutely out of this world fabulous. It's worth the drive to San Jose. Do you know your way?! While you don't need reservations, the restaurant is always packed. We just lucked out and we didn't have to wait to be seated. The ambience is very casual, and very comfortable. We found it to be warm and inviting. The staff is very kind and gracious, and did I mention that the duck soba is out of this world delicious?! Let's start with the broth. It's late, perfectly flavored, and it has just enough of that salty taste that I know I crave each and every time. The vegetables are plenty, and so is the duck. They are very generous with their protein, and the combination of everything together is a perfect flavor profile with each and every bite. They're located in a strip mall shopping center, so there's plenty of parking that's free. You definitely want to bookmark this place! read more

Delicious food for a good price. Easy to make last minute reservations even for weekends. Came here to celebrate a girl friend's birthday. We ordered a range of dishes: sashimi, grilled black cod, roasted eggplant, the freshest udon, and tofu. Pretty amazed at the tofu options. I think there were 3, as well as black cod among other things. Love that we could pick and choose within each item. The carafe sake was tasty and refreshing, and it comes with a variety of sizes. The green tea panna cotta had a black sesame kick but I prefer plain panna cotta. Service was slow and they never checked on us. We had to flag them down for water and napkins. But the food was so good I can easily overlook the slow service. I'll attribute the slow service to them taking time to carefully preparing the food. read more

Reservation for 3 People SERVICE: They do not honor your reservation time. If this was a true japanese establishment, we would never be seated late. not even a minute late. We had a reservation at 8PM. We came early, around 7:30PM and let the hostess know we are there. She said come back at 8PM. At 7:55PM we came back and were largely ignored until I finally flag someone down to which they said to wait for the hostess instead of asking us if we have been helped. 8PM and the hostess said it'll be 15 minutes. Unacceptable for a reserved table. We were not seated until 8:30PM. Our table was rocky and we didn't have enough space on the tables we were sat at for all our food. The food was good but because of the service, I probably won't come back. There's nothing on the menu that is worth coming back for such a terrible experience. SALMON BELLY: GET THIS, this is probably the only thing worth coming back for Hot Soba: lacking in flavor and the noodles seem a little off. I would NOT get soba here and try soba at a place that specializes in it. Hamachi Carpaccio: also good, fish is fresh and the sauce is well matched with the fish type Duck: not worth the money, this is a waste of money Karaage: SO WORTH get it!!! Mini Chirashi bowl: ok so this was fresh and tasted good but not worth the price point in my opinion This place is just ok. They need to update their interior and respect reservation times. read more

This happened a few months ago on May, but the experience was so unpleasant that it still sticks with me. I brought my family here for my mom's birthday celebration because we heard they serve good quality food. To be fair, the food itself was fine and met the standard, but the hospitality and cleanliness were a huge disappointment. The place is not very big, and since we had a large group, we took up a lot of space. From the hostess's expression, it felt like we were not really welcome, almost as if she thought we were being too loud. But the worst part came when we found a body hair in one of the dishes. Yes, a wavy body hair--absolutely unacceptable for any restaurant, let alone a high-end Japanese place. It was gross. All they did was replace the dish. What they should have done was waive the meal or at least show real accountability. We did not even feel comfortable continuing to eat. Thinking back, I regret not leaving right then, but since it was my mom's birthday, I did not want to cause a scene. If they respond and deny this, I have evidence. Even after months, I still remember it vividly, and I feel the need to share this to warn others. They really need to take their sanitation and hospitality seriously. read more

This restaurant is in the corner of a plaza and would definitely recommend reserving a table before you arrive because the place is very small. The quality of the food is amazing and fresh!

Came here for the first time and not knowing what to expect in food quality. First off we ordered a bunch of appetizers and small dishes because we wanted to try almost everything on the menu. Price wise was decent. Every dish we ordered was not a disappointment. I enjoyed everything we ordered. Fish quality is very fresh. Their soy sauce is house made and tofu as well. I really loved the tongue steak with truffle powder. Not chewy and just cook right. We did not get to try their house made soba noodles. Next time. read more

a cute japanese izakaya tucked away in a fairly low-traffic plaza, my friend and i came here without a reservation and the hostess was able to seat us at a booth with the caveat that we were squeezed right before a reservation and had about an hour or less to order and eat -- definitely worked with our plans, and definitely appreciated the effort, but i can also see how being rushed under a time limit might not work for some other people. this meant service was speedy and everything came out on time, and while the servers weren't overbearing they were certainly present and friendly. i ordered the hokkaidon (a special, i'm a sucker for both uni and scallops even with the extra price); it was on the smaller side but quality was certainly there, overall enjoyable. my friend ordered one of the soba dishes (the exact one slips my mind) and was fairly satisfied with it. there was a dish with shredded yam and onsen egg that wasn't to my friend's taste, but i didn't mind it. overall, would love to go again to have the full experience with a reservation. read more

My party of 4 was seated right away around 6pm on a Saturday. It started getting super busy after that so would recommend making a reservation or arriving earlier closer to opening time. Overall, food was decent but I think it could've been more impressive considering the prices. I also felt rushed from the employees (saw in other reviews too). We ordered mini chirashi, grilled beef tongue, hot tempura soba, tako karaage, salmon kama, salmon chazuke (salmon dashi bowl), assorted hot pot. Unfortunately, none of them stood out to me in particular. I'd say the overall presentation is very nice but to be honest they all looked better than they tasted. Not that they were bad, but just mediocre. I did think the rice consistency and flavor in the mini chirashi was good. Most likely won't be returning since I've had better restaurants for lower prices and more extensive menus. read more

Small quaint spot with high quality food and lovely staff Made a reservation at ~1pm on a Sunday and got seated fairly quickly, would recommend doing so for groups of 5+ since the restaurant is on the smaller side. The order: Tempura Seiro Soba (Cold) - Handmade soba noodles made on the firmer side, tastes mild and goes well with the sauce. The tempura set comes with shrimp, sweet potato, shishito pepper, and kabocha. They were fried to perfection without getting dry! Green tea Chu-Hi - Comes unsweetened, tastes mostly like regular green tea with a very subtle alcohol taste Overall the food is great quality for its price, would definitely come back to try their other menu items! read more

If you're looking for some homey, traditional Japanese food then this is the perfect spot. They have a pretty extensive menu for such a small restaurant; from sushi to beef to soba noodles and more! We ordered the hot stone beef tongue, miso cod, soba noodles, salmon chazuke, and some octopus appetizer and everything was delicious! The octopus dish did catch us off guard because it came out raw but it was surprisingly good! My favorites were the hot stone beef tongue and salmon chazuke. Also the hojicha panna cotta was chefs kiss! Definitely a must try! I also liked how the portion sizes were on the smaller side so we were able to try multiple dishes. read more

I've had Leichi bookmarked for so long, and I'm excited I finally got to try it! Made my reservation through Yelp, but after I submitted my reservation, I didn't get a confirmation anywhere and it didn't show up under my reservations. I was pretty worried and had a hard time explaining this to the hostess, but we got things situated quickly. Food Omakase: they call this the Treasure Box, which is super cute! I love the small details they put into this, like putting the fish on a salt rock or serving the oyster with some dry ice. It all goes into the tummy and turns into mush all the same, but I really appreciated and loved their presentation. Pricing was average, like around $60 ish? Definitely felt like I got my moneys worth, which doesn't always happen with omakase. Duck: wow this was smokey, flavorful, and something unique that I'm glad I tried! The unveiling of the duck by taking off the smoking cup was a big anticlimactic, but the flavor was 10/10! Tempura soba: I'm not a fan of soba in general, but I really liked it here, you can tell that they made their noodles in-house, just like they said, and they ain't lying about it! As a non-soba lover, my chopsticks wouldn't stop going towards this dish! Salmon Chazuke: I think I'll pass on this next time only because it's not my style. Nothing bad about it, but the flavors just weren't it for me. It was like a very ocean-y flavored soup with raw salmon and I think I'm not used to the warm + raw texture. It was worth a try! Maybe I'll try the creamy soup version next time I feel like giving it a chance?? Mackerel sushi: perfection. I will order this again and again, every time. I love fishy fish, and mackerel is such a fishy fish. The ratio of rice to fish, the flavor of the rice, and the thickness of the fish all complimented each other so well. This dish made me the happiest! -- Overall, I loved it here and regret waiting so long to try it! Another big thing for me is that I love variety, and at Leichi, I was able to try all the things I wanted, all at a fairly reasonable price. I can't wait to celebrate my birthday here or take my parents here on a special occasion! Many thanks to Leichi! read more

This has consistently been one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the South Bay through the past decade. They have an extensive menu of both traditional and innovative tapas style dishes for sharing and they make all their sauces in-house. I love that each time I return, there are always more new dishes to try. While they're so much more than a sushi place, their sushi is incredibly fresh and they often have seasonal specials flown in from Japan. Starters: Their 3 tofus are all housemade and unique. I have always loved their original one (top of menu), one time it was so fresh that the wait time was 20min for it to come up from a new batch! It was heavenly. I also love the Goma and Yuba as well, they each have their distinct flavors and texture combos. Delicacy: I always order tako wasa (marinated fresh octopus tossed with chopped wasabi) at restaurants if they have it available, and this one here is very good and fresh. The octopus quality is excellent and never sinewy, and the wasabi is not fake/commercially processed (which can be the case at other places.) The Shiokara (marinated squid tossed in cured squid liver paste served with cream cheese) is my new favorite item -- the texture of the squid is kind of like the takowasa, but having it with the cream cheese was a surprising combo I wouldn't have thought of that resulted in a hit of flavor euphoria lol! this might be due to my being Asian American with a lot for fatty creaminess of the West, but heck this fusion dish of East + West knocked it outta the park for me. It's not for everyone, but I'll never be able to come here without ordering it again lol Grilled Dishes: Every dish in this section is wonderful, I would eat all of them every time if I could! The only thing is this time the Kami Kunsei (hickory smoked duck w balsamic sauce to dip) was kinda overdone to my liking. It's usually presented under a glass turned upside down so that when you remove the glass from the plate, the smoke is released from the duck meat. This time, sadly there was barely any smoke and the duck flesh color wasn't as pink as I prefer it lol but oh well. Noodle Dishes: We tried both of their duck dishes in hot and cold housemade soba noodles -- they mix 20% wheat flour and 80% buckwheat flour, also known as "2:8 Soba". This flour ratio is supposed to give the noodles "the silkiest and most aromatic finish." The noodles are really fresh indeed and remind me of my childhood when the Japanese moms in my neighborhood would make soba from scratch. The Kamo Seiro Soba (cold noodles w duck and served w dipping sauce + green onions) was really good, but it for the hot noodle soup version I'd like to try the Tori Soba which comes with chicken instead as I think the flavor might pair better in a savory hot soup. The restaurant is very small and cozy, so it's not a suitable place for larger parties. Most of the tables are sized for 2-4 ppl; one time we had a party of 5 and it felt like we were pushing it lol! There's only one restroom in the back. I like to bring my family here for special occasions and we also love to host guests from out of town here when they visit (especially those who fly in from places in the US without as much diversity and availability of authentic Asian cuisine) and I look forward to the next opportunity / excuse to return to Leichi! read more

We had an amazing time at Leichi! We ordered a hot duck soba and hot chicken soba dish. Each had a rich and savory flavor, but not too salty or overpowering. Very delicious and would order again. The miso marinated black cod was a great choice. It was very tender and the skin was very soft and buttery. A very gentle flavor and a good dish. Just be careful of fish bones! I personally am a fan of Chawan Mushi (steamed egg custard) with the crab sauce. It lived up to its name of being silky smooth and rich in flavor. The balance of the crab and mushroom and egg made the dish an absolute delight. For dessert, we got the Roasted Green Tea Panna Cotta. It had a good texture and a good flavor profile, not being too sweet for a dessert and not bitter from the green tea. Our server was nice and helped us pick some of our dishes. My only complaint is the dividers placed between the small tables are a little close and can be bumped by your neighbors. A little strange. But it is a pretty small restaurant so it does give your table more privacy. I would definitely come back.here and try more dishes! read more

Ideally, I'd give this place a 3.5 Ambiance: Cozy and intimate, the low lighting and wooden accents create a relaxed atmosphere. The small space fills up quickly, so be prepared for some noise and close quarters. Service: The service was on point. Our servers were very attentive, friendly, and courteous. Food: 6 Kinds of Sashimi: Fresh and beautifully presented, the sashimi was the highlight of our dinner. Except for the chewy octopus, each piece melted in the mouth, showcasing the quality and freshness of the fish. Tongue Grill: This adventurous dish was a textural delight. You grill the meat at your table. I wish they had some sauces to go with this dish rather than just the salt. Salmon Kama: This fatty marinated salmon collar in yuzu zest was cooked well, falling off the bone and offering rich, melt-in-your-mouth bites. There were quite a few bones in this dish, so be cautious when eating. Tori Soba: This dish was very disappointing. The chicken was a bit dry and lacked luster, and the broth had some bitterness to it. Hokkaidon: Hokkaidon was on their "today's special menu." It consisted of Hokkaido uni, Hokkaido scallop, and house marinated Ikura over sushi rice. For $32. We were expecting a decent portion of uni, but it wasn't much. The uni's creamy sweetness complemented the scallop's delicate flavor and the ikura's pops of briny richness. However, as I mentioned earlier, the portion size definitely felt small for the price. The bowl was mostly full of rice. Overall, Leichi is a decent restaurant. It's a small restaurant, so make sure you have a reservation before you go there. read more

Since I will be a regular I will post a photo in the near future but frankly the food is devoured as soon as I get it! Please support this local gem... you will NOT leave disappointed! read more
