3.5 STARS When it comes to fish and seafood, RAW is always my preference which my mom gets on my case about. "You probably have worms!" "Mom, stop. IF that was true...I would be skinny!" *Cricket Cricket* Campbell is a trek from the city but I knew I had to pay One Fish Raw Bar a visit when they opened. I love raw. Plus, Michelin-star pedigree...Hello, Atelier Crenn alum! I wish I had the same amazing experience as others at One Fish Raw Bar and jump on that 5 star train. Unfortunately, it was a mixed bag for me. It's only week one so it could have been a one off or just a matter of different tastes. Reservations on Tock is highly recommended. I was told they were fully booked for the weekend. All staff wore masks properly. M E N U Creative raw bar with Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Korean influences. Raw bar seating has a tasting menu option. Dining room and patio are a la carte. Most dishes were tapas-sized portions so you'll probably need about 3 dishes per person. Expect to spend at least $100 pp after tax and tip. Our bill was about $275 for two. Beer, wine, and sake only. D R I N K S * Shiratake Jozen Junmai Gingo "White", Niigata ($8): https://bit.ly/3nQrAm0 * Maroboshi Junmai Gingo "Nakao's Secret, Hiroshima ($10): same link above Both filtered sakes were very reasonably priced (3 shots per carafe). I enjoyed both; clean, crisp, and smooth. F O O D You can tell they source really top-notch ingredients - the fish and seafood are pristine here. Perhaps I'm just used to the subtle flavors from Japanese preps, or I ordered wrong but some of the components overpowered, instead of complemented the delicate raw fish and seafood. Below is a run-down of our order: * Bar Nuts w/ nori, hondashi ($5): https://bit.ly/2XsRz7Q Great for noshing, the nuts were roasty with a nice smoky umami. Portion is more for one person so order enough for the table. * Raw Oysters: Kumiai w/ frozen plum kosho ($12): https://bit.ly/3AshRWv My fav prep of the two. The subtle sweet tartness of the plum kosho nicely complemented the sweet, briny oysters. * Raw Oysters: Beausoleil w/ mango mignonette, chili oil ($12): same link above IMO, the mango and its tartness was overpowering. * Ora King Salmon w/ black garlic molasses, salsa macha ($23): https://bit.ly/3zqJbTN Fav of three sashimi dishes. Fresh, buttery slices of salmon with the black garlic molasses adding a umami sweetness. * Hamachi w/ pineapple, avocado, Thai herbs ($22): https://bit.ly/3knrQXh Fresh cuts of hamachi with punchy citrusy, herbaceous flavors reminding of larb. Avocado was missing. * Scallops w/ chinese sausage vin, king trumpet mushroom ($22): https://bit.ly/3AqQ6O7 I felt the chinese sausage vin (reminds me of XO sauce) masked the delicate raw scallops. * Beef Tartare w/ calabrian chili, cashew, housemade crackers ($18): https://bit.ly/3Ar6U7z Least fav item from the raw section. I appreciate the simple prep but it felt like it was missing something. * Cornbread w/ trout roe, cultured cream, dill ($12): https://bit.ly/3nViUuJ Dense, moist cornbread with a nice sweetness. I liked the cultured cream and trout roe but def could use more of the latter for that pop of flavor. * Lobster Roll w/ parker house roll, garlic butter, lemon mayo ($29): https://bit.ly/3lFFAfE The baby roll had incredibly fresh sweet lobster chunks lightly dressed in citrusy mayo with a touch of richness from the garlic butter. I was bummed that the housemade parker roll was dry and dense, not soft and fluffy. * Apple Pie w/ Japanese brown sugar ($12): https://bit.ly/39jYJ0X Gorgeous yet simple presentation. Deliciously flaky crust filled with tart apples. Not sweet at all. * Oat Panna Cotta w/ figs, pomegranate ($12): Same link as above Had high hopes for this and sadly, the panna cotta was curdled. S E R V I C E Staff is polite, and food service is prompt and well-paced (finished in an hour). However, I think service needs refinement for what they're going for. This has no bearing on my rating and is just feedback: Consider providing a quick intro of the menu and suggestion on how many dishes to order per person (we started with 6 for two but ended up ordering more). Maybe it's a covid thing, a carafe of water was dropped off but there was no filling of our glasses. A M B I AN C E Casual and minimalist with bar seating. Cute front patio that's dog-friendly (7 tables). EDM music playing. If you come early enough, you may catch the awesome live music playing next door from Snake & Butterfly. P A R K I N G Easily found free parking at the garage around the corner. Overall, I love One Fish Raw Bar's concept and use of high-quality ingredients but the food didn't quite hit for me. Obviously, I'm the minority here but I'm open to returning in several months and hope to give a better rating. I'm confident that they'll get to 5 stars because they already seem like a BIG hit in Campbell! read more

One Fish Raw Bar came on my radar when it popped on my "Hot and New" feed on Yelp. The next time I didn't feel like cooking for dinner on a Friday, One Fish Raw Bar was top of mind. I tried to make same-day reservations on the restaurant's website, but their 3rd party scheduling system was down that morning. I sent an email directly to the restaurant. Josh, the General Manager, was extremely responsive and helped put us on the calendar for 5pm. We arrived right when the restaurant was opening up for dinner. We sat inside the restaurant, which allowed me to admire the vibe of the place. It was casual but had a touch of elegance, and I loved the splashes of Japanese art and influence. The customer service was exceptional. We interacted with several staff members, and they were all hospitable. Our server was the absolute best. I didn't catch her name, but she served our couple's table towards the back of the restaurant. She was friendly, attentive, and offered us great suggestions. I also had the pleasure of meeting THE Josh, who helped me with my reservation. He introduced himself to our table, and we chatted a bit about the restaurant and their vision. Thanks to him, I found out that they do an omakase style tasting menu available at the bar seating area. Outstanding food through and through. We ordered the cornbread, lobster bisque, kampachi sashimi and salmon sashimi. The cornbread is just out of this world. It was perfectly crispy on the outside, and I loved its soft, buttery crumb. The bisque had an incredibly bold lobster flavor. Unlike other lobster bisques, this one had an earthy taste. The chunks of cornbread in the broth were a nice touch. Lastly, the seafood used for the sashimi was so fresh, and the two sashimi dishes had such unique flavor combinations. One Fish Raw Bar not only is great addition to the Downtown Campbell scene, but it's also about time that an Omakase spot made a home in the South Bay. I'll be back soon, and I look forward to trying everything off the menu. read more

Ad a ling time Lexington House fan wr used to eat chef Trent's food fairly regularly. He then left and did pop ups and deliveries of his seafood concept which took over the old Spread space in downtown Campbell. What a great addition to neighborhood! Lots of innovative dishes while seafood focused have touches and flairs from cuisines from all over the world. At the end of the day delicious it what really matters and they have it in spades here. Sure we are biased but you like what you like and It's bound to be crazy crowded down the line. Im also thinking it's a contender for one of the best restaurants in Campbell-alongside our faves of Orchard City Kitchen, Naschmarkt, and BeSteakA. One to watch out for sure. They've-only been open a few days nut certainly firing on most all cylinders already. Cant wait to see what happens when they're on full force read more

While I am not a gatekeeper, when I take a bite of something and the serotonin immediately releases and my mouth gets hit with a wave of happy fun time feels immediately I have an internal struggle with myself on whether I want to keep this place to myself- but the good people here deserve this five stars and much more. My fiancée and I reserved this spot as a last minute dinner instead of cooking, and man am I glad we did. Chef Edalyn, sous chef Chris, and Josh brought their A game through and through. Impeccable flavor combinations and service. I have ate at many an omakase, and while this is its own pre fixe type of tasting- the things I enjoyed most were bold and creative flavors you won't find anywhere else. Chef Edalyn, Chris, and Josh created such a warm atmosphere - explaining all the dishes in detail and engaging their guests. The inspiration for the food itself you can tell comes from a refined palate and diverse background- why this restaurant has not earned itself a Michelin star is beyond me. Influencers I ain't gatekeeping, where you at to blow this spot up??? They deserve it!!! You guys should have all the praise, don't worry we'll be back- and in numbers. Look forward to the next meal!!! read more

One fish raw bar is located in downtown Campbell where street and garage parking are available. Reservations can be made through Tock where they require a $25 deposit per person that is credited towards your final bill. I recommend making an earlier reservation as menu options may become limited as they run out of ingredients in the kitchen. The menu changes often depending on what ingredients they have and unfortunately both times we went, they did not have the King salmon (bummer!). They also seem to add and take away different creations over time (lobster pot pie and the house cured ikura were new and the waiter made sure to ask our feedback about it). The first time we went to One fish raw bar, we were absolutely blown away by the food and service. Our favorites were the scallops and cornbread. While we still enjoyed our second time, it didn't compare to our first time there. The corn bread was not as hot and crispy when it came out. The house cured ikura seemed really overpriced for what it is (scallion waffle with fish roe on top). But we did enjoy the hamachi belly and chowder! Overall, food is pretty decent and the service is excellent. But this is definitely a special occasion kind of restaurant as the price tag is on the higher side! read more

We decided to come here for a last minute anniversary dinner. We had the chef tasting menu at the bar. The thoughtfulness that Chef Edalyn put into each dish was phenomenal. Our server Josh provided excellent service. All in all, a very memorable dinner. Definitely will be back again soon. read more

Had a great meal at the bar. Opted for the omakase at the bar and had a beer to go with my meal. First course was oyster in a citrus sauce, razor clam with kiwi, mussel with chili negra, and a little neck clam in a spicy sauce. Next 7 dishes are all raw dishes (crudo, ceviche, sashimi, etc.) 2 hot dishes (shrimp and fried fish), and an apple pie dessert. Every single dish was delicious and standout was the tai in makrut (bergamot) aguachile. Chefs did an amazing job with flavors. Where they excel is in saucing. Every single sauce is delicious and fresh. Lots of influence from around the world and chefs have a true understanding of the flavors and ingredients (not pulling punches on flavors and using ingredients in ways that respect and show an appreciation for the cuisine they originate from). Your taste buds will be rewarded. I have missed good crudo and good seafood since I moved here from the east coast. Finally a place that gets it right! Service was also excellent. Hope to return soon! read more

We did the Tasting Menu, paired with Sake pairing. Amazing - always enjoy a chef's artistry and creativity with different flavors and ingredients and Chef did not disappoint. Service was excellent and fun, especially Josh! read more

I was in the area and saw this place nearby. Making a reservation was pretty easy. I went with one friend and we decided to try the $95/person family style. Food: I thought the amount of food was just right and I enjoyed the variety of it. Some of the dishes seemed to be inspired by east and South Asian cuisine. It was all unexpected and well-executed. For $95/person, this may be a hidden gem in the South Bay. The quality of the seafood was all top-notch. Service: Our server was pleasant and made us feel comfortable. Service never felt intrusive. It was almost like he could read our minds with how well-paced our dinner was. Overall, I'm surprised this place wasn't packed. I'll definitely come back. The food was creative and I hope this place gets the recognition it deserves. read more

Last night (Friday), my husband and I went to One Fish for our first time to celebrate our anniversary. The meal was incredible. So much so that I keep thinking about it and can't wait to go again. We had the nightly 5 course family meal. Next time, we will try the premium. We thoroughly enjoyed each course. Standouts included the scallops with Chinese sausage, (cooked) cod with a Thai curry sauce, and the CORNBREAD, which honestly is a complete shock for me because I do not normally enjoy bread and routinely pass on it whenever it's offered to me. It is truly that good! The service was very friendly. Free parking in the ramp around the corner. read more

Loved this place - the menu was very summer-forward with corn being the seasonal ingredient since it was in most of our dishes Prawn ceviche in corn soup - must get Hamachi with chimichurri, plum - very good Scallops with corn pudding - least favorite - very fall forward Tai snapper with aguachile - must get, very bright tasting dish Cornbread - must get Gnocchi with shishito/corn - must get, and I don't usually like gnocchi read more

it's a solid 4. food, service, ambiance, is all good and excellent. I'm holding back the 5th star just because my overall feeling is that i just want more of the food but at the same time i can't bring myself to pay this kind of pricing... worth it! read more

This place was a nice surprise. It's the best of what Campbell has to offer. I feel like it's a hidden gem because the place isn't pretentious. It shines where it really matters (food and service). Josh was such a gravious and attentive host. He knew we were looking for something out of the ordinary yet familiar at the same time. The sale was on point and the food was delicious and well thought out. They really made it an experience eating there! I recommend sitting at the counter so you can talk to Josh about his music selection and their food inspirations! I will definately be back! read more

Husband and I really enjoyed our experience here. The interior is small yet feels spacious and they have outdoor seating. Since it's situated in downtown Campbell (close to Aquis), there's a lot of parking available in the structure nearby. We came on a Thurs night and got to sit at the bar and it was quiet. Staff was attentive and friendly. They have a Thursday omakase special that comes with beer and sake. The dishes are a bit on the smaller side but we ordered a couple more and were sufficiently full by the end of the meal. Each dish had a beautiful presentation and was quite delicious. Favorites included the razor clams and their dry aged fish. Loved the texture and taste. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back. read more

We had a lovely time here for my birthday dinner. We got the 11 course tasting menu at the counter. 5 star service and food and experience. The chef prepares the food in front of you and you get whatever he gives you. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the food as well. We've never done such an experience before so we were kinda surprised when we got the bill but it's no one's fault. I had originally wanted the less expensive tasting meal so I think there was a mix up but nonetheless great experience. Definitely wanna check it out again for their other menu items! read more

One of the best date nights we have had in years. A truly special location and experience. We did not have reservations so had to wait, but they brought us menus to pick a drink and sit in their nice patio. Then we got to sit at the sashimi bar, watching the amazing chef! Every single item - we had I think every one of the "raw" list was impressively fresh, original and beautifully executed. We are sashimi snobs and often are disappointed but this was a truly unique and fantastic experience. Next time we will try from the cooked menu - the cornbread looked delicious, but we wanted a light late dinner, stayed with the raw bar. The maitre D (possibly the owner?) was very great at making us feel welcome without a reservation. The chef came by to personally check in / I wish I could eat here every night of my life! read more

I came to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday and try it out since it's newer. Wanted to do the Chef's counter but the mother could not decide on doing it or not. So we went with the regular dinner menu. Parking is alright in downtown Campbell, just gotta know where to look. It's a casual but modern looking restaurant. There was a couple dishes that were good, but overall, was pretty disappointed. My, and my family's main complaint was that most of the sashimi was cut into more like a tartar style and you couldn't really taste the fish flavors you wanted because of all the sauces. It wasn't for us but it could be for others who are into that style and carpaccio ish style. Also, the "shareable items" are not really shareable sizes. What we ordered: Brussel sprout salad (I think around $11): Was ok but on the drier side for a salad. Fried rice ($13): This was ok, not super tasty or anything. The size of the fried rice was kind of insulting to be frank. Cornbread ($13): Pretty good corn bread but expensive for one corn bread. The sauce on top was nice too. Beef tartare ($22): This was good as well, but could have had a little more flavor or acidity. Also would have preferred something different for a crunch texture than nuts. Razor clams ($20): I actually really enjoyed the razor clams a lot. The taste was nice and the razor clams tasted quite fresh. The sauce was very overpowering though. Hokkaido scallops ($21): Was cut very thin and in half. I think it would have been better having the whole scallop and then having the sauces on top. I wasn't able to appreciate that Hokkaido scallop taste Fish stew ($16): The stew was not very large either and it would be great to have like a piece of crispy rice on top for some texture rather than nuts. King salmon (I think $28): The salmon was nice and cut nicely since they were good sashimi sizes. Tai Snapper ($19): This was one of those dishes that was cut like a tartare and we were not quite here for it. It was decent but I wanted to taste the fish, not the sauce. Striped bass ($21): This was my favorite dish. Since it was cut sashimi style and with not a ton of sauce on it, I could appreciate the fish and it was delicious. Fish was super fresh and tasty. Chocolate pudding ($12): Nice and chocolately. Very tasty and I enjoyed it a lot. Dulce de leche panna cotta ($10): This was also very tasty as well! The bananas foster could have been caramelized more for that crunch, but it was just soft and soft. read more

Bottom line: low key vibez, great service, not a single boring bite in the tasting menu, ALL dishes were FLAMEY. We will be back. Vibez: located on the main strip Campbell Ave of downtown, same side of the street as Aqui, a bit past it towards Winchester. Small shop, with a nice little patio. Electronic music cover songs play at a moderate volume. Small wait staff works on a team for all tables, service is excellent. Food: we enjoyed a 12 item tasting menu, and I can honestly say each item was great. You'll see in photos that there really wasn't much in the way of filler (like rice), but rather just plentiful portions of raw seafood. All fish was fresh with no aftertaste. A couple stand out items. The uni special was, well, special. Digging through the sauce to scoop a bite with uni and cornbread was an adventure, but the payoff of a straight FLAMEY bite makes it worth it. I'd never had raw oysters topped with melon and cucumber, but it was awesome. read more

we stopped by here a few weekends ago on a whim when we couldn't decide what we wanted to eat for date night. i've never been so glad for a spur of the moment decision bc this was easily one of the best meals i've had in a while. this spot is definitely for all my seafood & raw fish lovers. we decided on the premium chef's tasting menu after it was hyped up by our incredibly sweet server. we were not disappointed! we were told that the dishes change every day, so you'll never come across the same thing twice. i should've written down what we ate bc i can hardly remember now, but all of the cuts of fish were so fresh. we had uni, toro, caviar, oysters, clams, mussels... the whole works. and, the hamachi collar was absolutely amazing. so tender & grilled to perfection in this gochujang marinade. we really appreciated all the different flavor profiles in all of the dishes, like the chimichurri sauce on one of the plates. absolutely amazing. ok, and all the reviews rave about their corn bread. if there's one thing you need to try, it's the corn bread. just do it. there's a reason why this is one of the only items that's constant on their menu. it's a crowd pleaser, they know it, and the ppl love it. read more
