I was a bit disappointed on the taste of the food that was order. 1) fish was not as fresh 2) the texture of the sushi roll was not good because the rice was old. Maybe I was just there on the bad day for lunch. Here is my score card: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean but not up to date. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are below average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 2 point) - The style of Japanese food they serve is not close to the way it was prepare in Japan.Not good. Need improvement and be consistent of the food that is prepare daily. Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think.

I haven't been to this place in a long time (years to be exact) until today! My friend treated me to lunch and I recommended this place because I remember how good it is! We both ordered the Salmon Teriyaki bento box. The salmon was huge unlike other Japanese restaurant I have been to. And it was delicious! The box had so much that my girlfriend and I could have split one box! We had plenty of leftovers. They also have a huge selection of sushi rolls. This place is a "must try" if you are in the Fremont area. read more

One of my go-to spots when meeting up with friends in South Fremont! I always enjoy what I order here. In addition to yummy food, the staff are helpful and friendly, and I think the portions are good for the price. I always go for the bento boxes personally! They have a large menu with many options, so there is something for everyone! Even if you don't like sushi or raw fish, there are alternative options that other members of your group can have like ramen, chicken teriyaki, etc. It's a great place to get a group of people together - they even have TVs inside so you don't have to miss the big game while out to dinner lol. I saw one person post a picture of tempura ice cream - I need to go back and try that sometime! read more

Not so hidden gem! Was craving sushi and wanted to try this place since we always pass it on our way to Costco and Target. Their Crunchy Asparagus Roll is a winner - love that crispy asparagus. The White Lion roll is also fantastic - fresh fish and avocado with a tasty sauce.And the Tempura Udon? So comforting, especially on a cold day. The vibe is nice and cozy, perfect for a casual meal. Prices are fair and they have tv's so if you want to watch some sports you can! Overall give them a try if you're in the area! read more

I've visited this location a handful of times throughout the years but my last experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I ordered the teriyaki beef bento box and about half of the beef was raw, the other half was reddish pink which seemed okay to eat. (Was not able to take a photo before sending the food back) I showed the waitress the beef and she agreed it looked raw. They made another portion of beef as a replacement which wasn't as red as the first one. I ended up just boxing everything up to go. My boyfriend ordered a chicken katsu bento box and he enjoyed his meal. Everything was cooked well and had great flavor. I've been to this place before and have had great service, it was just this last time that wasn't too great. The beef didn't look cooked all the way in my opinion, but that may be how other people like to eat it. I may go back to try this place again in the future and my rating may change next time. read more

Dropped by for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The four of us shared the special bento box which includes beef teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, chicken katsu, tempura, gyoza, nigiri, soup, and salad. We also ordered a lion king roll and a California roll. All the dishes were well-prepared - flavorful and tender. Service was friendly and on point, and the dining room was clean and tidy as well, with the college football final conveniently on TV for us to glance at. From the 3-star review I was not expecting to like it so much, so wanted to add my 2 cents and tell y'all to give it a try! read more

When Hubby and I was in the area the weekend prior we were so conflicted on where we wanted to eat. So we decided that since we were there we would eat at a different restaurant and than the next weekend (since we forgot our item that needed to be return to the stores) that we would come back and eat at Little Madfish. We were craving sushi and again it's so hard to find a good sushi place for us that we both enjoy. Once we got in we were seated. Our waiter saw how small our table was and he offered a bigger table that just opened up. We liked that there are soo many different varieties to choose from for the sushi rolls. We got the chicken teriyaki bento box, Blazing Lion King, Lion King, Mango Lobster Roll, and a few other rolls that I cannot remember (since I'm writing this review about a few weeks later lol). Everything was so delicious! I believe our least favorite is the Blazing Lion King, only because we could sort of taste the liquid that was used to make the Blazing Lion King flame up. We really enjoyed it here and will definitely add this to our favorite sushi spots. read more

Couldn't decide whether to give a 3 or 4 because, although the food is average, the price for the proportions was great. All the food included in the images PLUS a salmon teriyaki bento box added up to about $70, which is cheap compared to many other sushi and ramen spots. Taste wise, I really wasn't the biggest fan of their Pork tonkotsu ramen. Meat was super dry and noodles were quite bland. The broth was very average. Sushi rolls were decent. I actually like their spicy tuna as it has a nice kick. However, the orange blossom and golden gate roll were very very similar which we didn't expect. I think the reasonable prices can be attributed to the 20% off deals offered during their happy hour. So, if you want to have decent food that's good for the price, come here during their happy hour (see menu image below). Otherwise, there are much better sushi and ramen places to try. Service is great! Waiters and waitresses care to check up on customers and are friendly. Parking shouldn't be a problem as there's quite a large parking lot in the plaza. read more

Great sushi but service could be better. My party of 3 decided to go to the boba shop next door since we had four parties ahead of us and didn't want to wait in the cold. When you add yourself to the waitlist they ask for your phone number, so we thought they would text us when our table was ready. Wrong. They did not text us, and then after waiting what we felt was too long we went to check and our name had already been crossed off the list. So make sure you sit around and listen for your name. Food: the rolls were delicious. My favorite was the baked scallop roll which was more of a bake than a roll. The sweet potato roll was surprisingly delicious and didn't expect sweet potatoes to go to well on sushi. read more

Came here for lunch with my mom today at around 1:30pm, had an overall really positive experience! I'm actually pretty surprised that its overall rating is a 3 star. Our order: - hot tea for both of us (25 cents each) - for me, a salmon maki roll + a hamachi handroll - for mom (and to share with me): the bento box with CA roll, 3 pc sashimi, 3 pc nigiri, tempura. Comes with miso soup and salad. Total price $35.16 prior to tip Pros: - Pretty fast service, didn't take too long to get seated (granted it's a weekday late lunch) - Pretty decent service, kept our teas refilled - Decent vibes - music wasn't too loud but enough to cover the next table over's conversation, loved the early 2000's music - Pretty decent food!! Loved my hamachi handroll, and my mom's nigiri was pretty delicious. I felt like the portions were pretty decent for her $15 meal - Easy parking in the lot with multiple businesses nearby (Starbs, iTea, etc.) - Pretty extensive menu, something for everyone if you don't like raw fish, a very wide variety of rolls. I used to not really be a maki/nigiri person and would only get sashimi and rolls, and honestly all of them are a pretty good deal. - Very fresh salmon in the maki - Very tasty tea - Bathroom was fairly clean Cons: - None really, overall I felt like it was good bang for your buck if you order the right stuff. I would say the only con is from observing today, it would probably be a little harder to accommodate a larger party - probably the best size would be 1-4 people max. read more

I'm giving this 5 star for excellent service and reasonable pricing. The establishment is open and clean. They have specials. Today I tried the fish on chips. I didn't know what to expect but it was so good. A great fusion. Flavorful and creative. I really enjoyed the combination of salty and spicy. This is a great dish for a diverse area like Fremont. I highly recommend this place. I think it's underrated. read more

Came here right after a Costco run as I was starving and getting off my fast. Service was great and fast. Greeted you soon as you walked in and got seated right away. I was there during lunch so I tried out their lunch special bento box combo. It came with steak and chicken teriyaki, salad, soup, Sashimi and vegetable tempura for $18! Really good deal! Food was ok and I ate way too fast so forgot to take a photo of course. Salmon sashimi tasted ok. Didn't taste as fresh as I'd like but not too bad. Tempura was a little on the dark side which I didn't like and tasted like it was fried in old oil. Tempura sauce didn't hide much of the bad flavor either. Salad had a nice dressing on it. Chicken was decent, some good parts and some super dried burnt parts. Steak was really good as it came medium rare. I completely forgot to ask them to cook it medium rare but surprisingly enough it came how I liked it. If you're super hungry and eat a lot, you might need to order something else. Although it seems like a lot of food on paper, the portion was on the lighter side. Great size for people not wanting to eat much and get back to work. read more

I wanted to try a new sushi place and saw their menu was quite unique. I ordered their Crunch California Roll and Spicy Garlic Salmon. Both were not to my liking. The California roll was not crunchy or spicy. It tasted sweet, which was disgusting. The garlic salmon tasted like a California roll with ketchup. Nothing spicy or garlicky about it. This place was a disappointment. read more

What a great place to come to. My mom actually suggested this place, seeing as she is a regular there. The salmon bento box was lovely. The size of that salmon was a surprise. I was not expecting that. So A+ for that. Great authentic flavors too. Sooo good. I'll def be back. Service was great as well. Gina was so nice, and very attentive.

I would give zero star if Yelp offers it. I'm giving a star just because of the servers. I like washing my hands before eating, their restroom is clean--great! My husband and I love eating sushi. We pretty much tried all the best and the worst restaurant in the Bay Area. From regular sushi to omakase / Michelin restaurant. I ordered grilled beef ramen. Sounds good right? I was expecting a hearty good authentic flavor ramen. Disappointed with the broth, it's like the beef bouillon you bought from grocery store. Boil it and add noodles in it. The meat grilled beef is okay. Some veggies added, Okay and a Half hard boiled egg. This is not ramen!! This flavor is like the instant noodles I grew up eating lol. My husband ordered cherry blossom sushi, the fish is not fresh at all-yuck!! Even the edamame wasn't fresh. I feel like it was steamed over 24 hrs. I'm scared to eat, might get a food poisoned. We didn't finish our food. Sorry! Still we give a decent tip for the service. Never again! read more

They changed their happy hour menu to 20% off instead of 30% off. Only available Monday to Friday. They also have a patio with outdoor dining that could sit 18 people max. The sushi rolls are really good despite a majority of rolls containing the same ingredients but are just assembled differently. A nice selection nonetheless. Average pricing. The service is always great. I've never ordered to-go and have always eaten there. Gets pretty busy during rush hours pre-covid. Went today and my bf and I were the only ones there. Servers and employees wore masks and gloves. They also did a good job of refilling our drinks and making sure we were satisfied. My bf ordered the udon with tempura. They only give you one tempura shrimp and the rest are veggies with the tempura order. The udon is basic and the broth is sweet and good but taste like something I can make at home. I also don't think their udon noodles are house made. We ordered 5 rolls during happy hour and had enough leftovers to make 2 rolls (always end up over ordering). The leftovers aren't bad either. All in all our meal came out to about $80 with tax and tip. Not bad and we left with a full stomach. The only downside about outdoor dining is a bug flew into my soup. Thankfully I was almost finished with the bowl so it wasn't a big deal. A little protein never hurt anyone, haha! read more

Had the opportunity to try out this Fremont sushi spot for yesterday's lunch meetup with my girls. - Ambience: I appreciated the chalkboard in the front that listed their daily specials and other offerings of note. Seating was well spaced, and area was well-lit. - Service: As the first to arrive in my party, I went to reserve a table for us. The waitress gave me the opportunity to choose where to sit and provided enough chairs for our group. She was also attentive, ensuring that we had adequate refills of water and hot tea. - Order: + Fire Dragon: Was craving something with avocado, tempura shrimp, and tuna, so I settled on this roll. The roll was decent - perfectly crisp shrimp, torched albacore were the highlights. However, I was hoping for something a bit more spicy, so I will probably go for a spicier roll next time. Pretty good sushi for a reasonable price! Should you find yourself in Fremont or the surrounding Tri-City area, would recommend giving this place a try. read more

Came here for the first time with some family. The food was really good. I enjoyed the 49er roll with that lemon slice on top. It came with 8 pieces and they were pretty filling that I could barely finish it. We also had these other sushi rolls that were just as good. And the bento box itself had lots of different things that if you wanted just that, you would be perfectly full. I was full just looking at it. read more

I haven't been to this establishment in forever! Very pleased to see that it's still in operation. Since I haven't been here in a while, I asked my server what were her fav rolls. She suggested the Lion King Roll and the 49er roll. I am not a huge fan of baked rolls anymore, so I decided on ordering the 49er roll instead. The 49er roll is basically a California Roll but topped w/ salmon and a thin slice of lemon. I wasn't sure how I felt ab having lemon on my roll but I thought why not try it. It was surprisingly a great touch to the roll! The nice zest of lemon w/ the salmon tasted very good & refreshing! The 49er roll costs $11.95 - not too bad at all. If you're just looking for sushi rolls w/ affordable prices I highly recommend this place! read more

We always order from this sushi spot. Our favorite role definitely Hass to be the Madfish special. We typically also order a California roll and although it's a basic role it's always delicious. Their food is always fresh and we are never dissatisfied. The services always quick, but lately we have been ordering to go.

Came here on a rainy day 2 days before New Year's Eve, and on happy hour. I was not at all disappointed! I got the teriyaki chicken and California roll, and to my surprise tempura was included! I was so satisfied with the portion and I was filled up. Coming in during happy hour for the food to be cheaper was a plus, but even for full price I'd come here for the food. There were a bunch of specials for the day at the front too and the prices were great for what they were. I was with my gf's cousins that recommended the place and they love what they get and get it regularly. Happy hour? Definitely a bang for your buck! I would definitely come here again. One thing that I feel the need to point out was that the miso soup was actually really cold on this cold day, well it was warm and it wasn't warming sipping on it, everything else was A ok! read more

Being a first timer to Madfish, I didnt know what to expect. They have so many variations on rolls it was so hard to decide what to get. My go to is either a salmon/avocado roll or a cherry blossom and I decided on an orange blossom 2. The presentation was on point save for the cherry blossom was not in blossom form but still good per my coworker. Pretty big portions for a sushi place and ordered through door dash, would recommend if wanting some sushi. read more

Came here for a late lunch (2pm), it was not busy. Was greeted immediately upon entering & seated right away. Tables are clean, I didn't go to the restroom, but I think there's one on back. They have a great menu, there's lunch specials and daily specials. Had the agadashi tofu (no Bonito flakes for us), a Lion King roll, green salad (they need a salad spinner, a little watery), beef Teriyaki & tempura bento box, added a Cali roll & spicy tuna roll (these are discounted if you add them on, great deal!). They brought miso soup for us too. The food came out in good time, hot items were good temp, the Lion King roll was cut too thin, so it was falling apart & I couldn't hold it correctly with the chopsticks. All the food was good in flavor. Staff is polite, made sure our drinks were full. Prices are average for the current economy. Check them out if you want sushi.Bento BoxBaked Rolls read more

They have extended their menu. It's still meh, but I was introducing a friend to Japanese for his first time. I knew the place to be 1) clean and 2) using fresh fish and thus... no surprises. Good serving sizes for the price. One of the rolls we ordered did fall apart when pieces were picked up. The jalapeno was a weird addition on many of the menu items. read more

Located in the pacific commons plaza for many years, little madfish has been a takeout staple for my family growing up until now. They have an extensive menu ranging from baked rolls, regular rolls, appetizers, udon, curry, bentos, and much more-- theres always something for everyone when we order from here! The size and quality of the sushi rolls here are pretty good. We prefer hamachi sashimi so that's one of our go-to orders and I've noticed that the freshness of the fish depends on the day you order. Some days, the chef will prepare thicker cuts of fresh fish compared to other days so it can be a little unpredictable, but as a whole the sashimi quality is fairly good! I've found the prices to lean a little more towards the steeper side, but that's to be expected for sushi. In conclusion, little madfish is definitely solid if you're craving sushi for dinner-- I'd recommend you check out any of their rolls and bentos! read more
