Local GEM. Quickly has been one of our favorite spots. The chirashi is a bang for your buck with THICK cuts of fresh buttery fish. If you feel like balling on a budget, go for the deluxe chirashi, comes with more premium cuts such as uni and amaebi. Rolls and other items are also fantastic! Customer service is quick, friendly, and straightforward. Once I walk in, I'm almost always greeted immediately. Even coming in on peak dinner time on a weekend, always minimum to no wait. Nothing fancy with the decoration. Tables are cleans. Always some sport playing in the TV. read more

Attentive staff and good quality fish! The chirashi came with thick cuts of the fish and it tasted fresh. I think the only thing they can improve is the sushi rice. Once they figure that out, it might be one of the top chirashi bowls I've had. I didn't realize the Romeo Juliet roll was a fried roll, but it was surprisingly not greasy but kept its crunch throughout each bite. read more

Ok, so we've been here a few times some years back... But today we needed a sushi place that was open for dinner / which opened before 5 or 5:30pm. Sushi Ken was open - so we got dinner here today. The sashimi pieces were BIG, thick, generous slices - good, fresh, proper flavor to ALL the different sashimi as well. We ordered a few rolls (such as rainbow roll) - which were all good as well. My wife got the udon / ramen & it was quite good, very generous serving as well. Now the pièce de résistance - I got the Deluxe chirashi-Don... I am a Chirashi fanatic & have been a sushi consumer since 1987. This place, Sushi Ken - made the absolute BEST chirashi Don I have EVER had, EVER. Several super generous slices of sashimi, scallops, glorious seared / scored salmon sashimi... Fish eggs, perfectly seasoned rice. I will one billion % FOR SURE be coming back here and ordering that again !!! Definitely come eat here. The service is SOLID, very nice folks & incredibly fast / prompt service. They also gave us a small complimentary dessert (small scoop of really good vanilla ice cream). Sushi Ken knocked it out of the park!!! read more

Came here with the recommendation for the Chirashi Deluxe Don & it did not disappoint! Dinner: *CHIRASHI DELUXE DON x3 *CALIFORNIA ROLL *MISO SOUP *EDAMAME [complimentary] In no way am I that boujee type when it comes to my sushi but I expect my fish to be decent enough for me to not have to pause and second guess my decisions. My nephew and his girl are amazing foodies so while I came here not anticipating much, I really should have given them more credit that I did for picking Sushi Ken. The service may have been kind of spotty but the quality and taste of our sushi was A1. The chirashi bowls were massive in size, the sushi rice tasted great, and the cuts of fish were not only generous but they were also very fresh. No fishiness, funkiness found here. The california roll was good and very balanced with the sweet, savory, and creamy aspect. Miso soup was alright- very basic, doing the job but not exactly anything memorable. 5/5 stars specifically for the chirashi deluxe don. This stuff hits on a whole different level and will leave you needing to unbutton as you exit due to not being able put your chopsticks down. LMAO. Thank you D & A for always having the most delicious places for me to experience. read more

The amount of food in the bento box is a great value. The staff is very busy and the service reflects that. Be prepared for a leisurely lunch and waving down servers as they don't check in with you regularly. The food comes out in decent time. read more

This place definitely deserves 5 stars! As soon as we arrived, we were seated right away. We didn't have to wait long to place our order, and they even gave us complimentary edamame to start. Our server provided amazing service--her smile was contagious and really added to the overall experience. When the service is great, the food somehow tastes even better! And without a doubt, the food was delicious. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, and I definitely left satisfied. One of my favorite things about this place is their hours. They close a little later than most sushi restaurants, which is a huge plus for me. A lot of the sushi spots I go to close around 8 PM, but this one stays open until 10 PM, making it a great option for a later dinner. There's also plenty of parking since it's located in a shopping center with lots of great restaurants and stores nearby. Overall, great food, amazing service, convenient hours, and plenty of parking. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Sushi Ken - 1. Chicken Teriyaki dinner bento 2. Beef Teriyaki dinner bento - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fremont, California

I have not been in this building for years and it used to be Miki Bistro, but I believe that rebranded as Sushi Ken. My parents and I used to come here for dinner when I was a teenager, but stopped going there because food quality diminished overtime. Based on my experience here, they are doing well. When I went inside, it was really dark. I like how they had huge fans since it's really hot today. I also like how they decorated the restaurant. If only they're able to do something with the lights, but that doesn't really affect my experience much. Let's talk about the food. I like how I'm given edamame even before I started ordering. Really tasty though and I think it gives a lot of protein. I decided to order Saba Shioyaki and Mix Tempura in a lunch bento since I've been getting chicken teriyaki and California roll whenever I come to Japanese restaurants. Honestly, the portion is really big for a lunch bento, but I guess it's because tempura tends to be bigger in size. Really delicious and I miss having Saba. It reminded me of the old days that I have it. The orange doesn't seem to be quite ready since it's a bit ripe. Just like some Japanese restaurants, they usually serve green tea ice cream after meals are done. However, mines is vanilla ice cream, which is alright with me. Looking forward to come back here to try more foods! read more

I've been back several times since my original visit. I love their vegan menu! It's probably my favorite vegan sushi spot in the South Bay because they actually invest in making unique and delicious vegan rolls that aren't ridiculously overpriced. Plus, it's not fully vegan so there are plenty of options for non-vegan friends and family. I've tried so many of their vegan options: Big Daddy Roll, Mango Secret Roll, Saishoku Roll Shiitake Meet Avocado Roll, Spicy Tofu Crunch, Spicy Veggie Roll, Spicy Veggie Tofu Roll, Vegan King, Veggie on Fire Roll, and Vegan Jalapeno Bomb app. My favorite rolls I've had are: Shiitake Meet Avocado, Spicy Veggie Tofu Roll, Big Daddy Roll, and Saishoku. I've also had their house made mango iced tea, I like it's not overly sweet. I'm not a fan of the deep-fried rolls, so I think it would be great if they separated them on the vegan menu, just like they do on the non-vegan version. I accidentally got some deep-fried rolls and didn't enjoy them as much as others. I have to say I'm also not a fan of the Veggie on Fire Roll even though it's not fried. The vegan jalapeño bomb appetizer was good, but it was too heavy to eat more than one piece. I have friends that live in the East Bay and Tri-Valley area so it's nice to have an option to meet in the middle that I genuinely enjoy. read more

Review #1,081 Posted on 7.8.26 We came here for late lunch on Thursday the 2nd. What I like about Ken's is they stay open during the early afternoon time slot, so for those of us not on structured work lunch time slots, we can stop in here for a bite to eat during the post "normal" lunch times. The customer service is really good here too, quick & friendly staff. The menu is deep, tons of options. Food is good, my sushi roll had a tad of zing, mango, tuna, deep fried shrimp tempura too. They give you edamame too when you first come in, a nice touch where other spots charge you if you ask for it. Highly recommend this place. read more

It's been awhile since i had a chance to come in. Super Lion King - 4 * Spicy Lover - 5 * Mix Tempura - 5* Everything was still as good as ever except no free fries anymore. Cheesecake was hard from being in an ice cold storage. Free scoop of ice cream was the sweetest. There was no air where we were sitting unfortunately. I was sweating which is not ideal. Staff is always very nice and attentive. read more

Value proposition here. Sushi is tad above average; the tempura is pretty good; saba fish is tasty and not too moist or too dry... all comes in a lunch bento box with many selections of items. Avoid Calamari... too chewy for me. Free green beans appetizer & ice cream dessert...yay! It's too busy for the limited staffs to serve a semi-full room. But they are friendly. Seat yourself when you arrive. Pretty casual atmosphere. Great place for value bentos. read more

I have gotten takeout from here on a couple of times ! They have reasonably priced sushi rolls and tons of vegan options! And that was soo great. The taste is always good , I tried a few of the rolls Big daddy, Mango on fire, Saishoku roll and L&V roll. The online ordering system is very simple and sends a notification that the order is accepted. The rolls hit the right notes in terms of sweet and spicy. I want to explore more of their vegan options - so definetly will be back ! For Takeaway containers, one small feedback the rolls are right against the wasabi, which gets on to some of the pieces , which may be higher than the amount I am looking for - makes it hard to takeoff - It could help if the wasabi was in a smaller quantity or in a packet or a small piece of butter paper. read more

Stopped by here for a quick weekday lunch and the food was so good & such a great price! We ordered a lunch bento box w/ teriyaki beef & tempura and a chirashi bowl. They also gave us free edamame! The teriyaki beef was tender and had the perfect amount of sauce and the tempura was light and crispy. The chirashi bowl had extremely thick cuts of fish & was a great selection! It tasted extremely fresh as well. The portion sizes here are huge, we barely finished half of our meal! At the end, they gave us free green tea ice cream! Great & quick meal, I'll definitely be back read more

09/10/2026 Had the bento at lunchtime, chose tekka maki and saba shioyaki as my two options. Delicious! The saba shioyaki was a bit undersalted for my American tastebuds lol, but cooked very well. Great ambiance, love the wall art. Waittress was very friendly! Green peas provided before the meal and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream provided afterward! read more

Very, very good! I'm not a sushi lover, so I can only speak for everything else. Everything was outstanding! Definitely get the teriyaki sauce and the Katsu sauce with your meal. The lunch prices are awesome too! Service was a little slow, but we weren't in a rush. If it's too warm towards the back have them flip on the A/C. read more

Sushi Ken - Portions are huge!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fremont, California

I like getting their lunch bento box. For the price and amount it's a deal. I typically get their chicken katsu or pork katsu with mix tempura and sashimi. Their sashimi is a mix experience. I've had it where they give a plump size pieces and others are smaller. Is the quality great, no, but you get what you pay for. Sushi roll is okay. I would say it's a good lunch spot for the amount of food you get. Service was good and attentive. read more

We randomly walked into this place , hungry, and it was a very solid choice after all. I wish I took more pictures but we ate every bite as the food was coming out. The fish was fresh, my only complaint is that the fish portions were not very generous. I appreciate them not making up for it with adding more rice. We ordered a few rolls besides the 7 piece sushi special. We had more avocado rolls because they were fantastic, unagi roll, and salmon skin roll. All were very good. There were not a lot of people when we went. Service was kind and fast. It's a fairly quiet place. i will be returning here! read more

Located in a shopping plaza, parking is a bit tight during the holidays. it is located right next to Ike's. .on yelp it says you can make a reservation, but when we came, we were seated right away. when sat down, they served us some fries and edamame. which were good and delicious. their menu had plenty of options to choose from and was a big portion in size as well. the bento box looked really good! would i come again? yes, but i wish they had some eel options on their menu read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon and pleasantly surprised by their extensive menu. Also really appreciate that lunch bentos are also available on weekends. They start you off with a small bowl of french fries with ketchup and edamame beans? The fries were cold, but nice they offer you a little appetizer. We all went with bentos and I chose the saba shioyaki, CA roll, and sashimi. It also comes with rice, miso soup and salad. The prices here are incredibly reasonable for the amount of food you get. We also got an order of their seared salmon belly. The food came out pretty quickly as it wasn't busy at that time. My saba unfortunately had a ton of bones, so I was trying to pick through the fish as best as possible. The salmon sashimi was okay, but was very surprised how fresh and tasty the tuna was. The california roll had an off putting smell to me. The salmon belly pieces were very large but I have had better. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience for the price. read more

I am pleasantly surprised. My husband and I have been struggling to find a go to sushi restaurant since we moved and a quick Yelp search led us to Sushi Ken. We were familiar with the area and Sushi Ken seemed to always have a decent amount of people inside so we were excited. First off, they give you edamame and French fries right off the bat and that's odd, but it's also welcomed. We tried different rolls, their udon, and their omakase and all things tasted really good. The presentation of the items was also pleasing. Their staff was attentive and service was quick. At the end of your meals, they also give you a free scoop of ice cream so that was a nice surprise. read more

Sushi rolls, sashimi, rice, udon and ramen are all available at Sushi Ken and with their generous lunch combos served until 4 pm every day and dinner combos with two or three item selections are sure to satisfy that craving for Japanese cuisine, filling you up and keeping it all under 20 dollars a person. Sushi Ken is located in a bustling mall in downtown Fremont serving the local community for everyday needs. The parking lot can get a bit chaotic but if you're fine with walking, consider parking a bit further toward the side of the mall rather than in the middle near the main entrance (i.e., the closer you are to the coffee shops, the busier it is). Once you step foot into the restaurant, you'll be amazed at the colorful wallpaper depicting people at a fish market. You'll have the option to sit near the sushi bar or at one of the many tables and booth available. The place is quite large and it doesn't seem like they get a lot of foot traffic. There is a large TV that was playing the sports game of the night but otherwise, it was pretty quiet. I had originally made a reservation through Yelp but it clearly wasn't needed as we were just about the only patrons until about halfway through the dinner service. After being seated, we were given menus and waters. We had a bit of time to peruse the menu and ended up getting a few rolls and a three piece dinner combo including the saba (mackerel), tempura, sashimi, soup, and salad. The food was good and for the price, a decent value for Japanese food. As part of our meal, they also served a side of edamame and French fries for us to start on. California roll - very heavy on the imitation crab and not as balanced with the avocado but for fans of this roll, you'll have a good time with this protein rich bite. Unagi avocado roll - presentation on this decently balanced roll could be a bit better but it serves its purpose. Pieces of eel and avocado balanced in each bite, you'll get your fix with this one. Mango spider roll - beautiful and refreshing with sweet slices of mango. Perfect for the kiddos. Saba shioyaki - decently prepared mackerel although a bit dryer than others I've had. The taste was lighter than others as well. The portions were decent and paired nicely with the good mound of rice. Sashimi - thick and meaty pieces of tuna and salmon were delicious and melted in your mouth. Tempura - typically not a fan of tempura but the variety was great - shrimp, sweet potato, broccoli, and squash were all represented. Soup - miso soup came with the meal but was a bit saltier than I'd like. It still came out hot though! As an end to the meal, they also served a helping of ice cream (green tea). We originally came in for a birthday but they don't seem to do anything special for it so the ice cream was a nice consolation. The staff were generally present and helpful. When we asked for no ice in our waters and were given ice, they quickly corrected the mistake. Our waters didn't need constant filling so we didn't really experience the topping off that we typically see in other dine-in establishments. Overall, Sushi Ken has all things Japanese served at reasonable prices and decent portions. They don't seem to do anything exceptionally well, however, you'll get your fix and a pretty good value. It's probably best to get the combos when possible to make the most of your experience but their food options are priced well enough for dining anytime. Whatever you're looking to order, you CAN at Sushi Ken! read more

There are 10 vegan sushi rolls, lots of vegan options -- I love their sushi. I've been here more times than I can count; this is one of my favorite restaurants. Great for dates and celebrations -- nice ambience, quiet enough that you can hear everyone and have a good conversation. Food comes out really fast, and they give you complimentary edamame and ice cream. Their white wine is pretty good, and I highly recommend the sake. According to my meat-eater friends, the regular sushi is equally as tasty. Service is amazing fast and good. read more

Sushi Ken is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Fremont! **I can't believe I haven't written a review for them yet! I have been here several times in the past 2 years. **Note: this is more of a "family restaurant." Not a "date night out" / fancy Japanese place w/ cocktails. I came here on Saturday night with the parents, & what a nice surprise! They renovated the restaurant (my first time coming here in 2025), and their tables & chairs are new. And their bento boxes are a cute ivory color now!!! *I was too busy eating & enjoy my food... forgot to take photos :( Anyway, their service is always good. Friendly staff. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the sushi chefs. "Table of 3" I said. Waitress asked me what we wanted to drink, and we opted for hot tea. The restaurant was busy on a Saturday night. They also have a flat screen TV inside & college football was playing this evening. Their menu is very extensive. I've tried their sushi, sashmi, udon, etc. But I I especially love their bento boxes! Yummy :) Their 2 item combos are great & you can really mix & match whatever you want. You can pick from salmon teriyaki, to beef teriyaki, to chicken teriyaki, to chicken katsu, or tonkatsu (pork). etc. Then another item (I believe you can pick California roll, tempura, etc.). Generous w/ the portions, fresh, & good price! (between $17-$25) I've also ordered their yummy sushi rolls too - what I consider "fancy rolls" - I've tried the dragon, Lion King, etc. They give complimentary edamame to start (& also french fries, haha). And at the end ask you if you want ice cream. read more

I ordered the dinner bento with beef teriyaki, which came with miso soup, tempura, sashimi, and a side salad. Surprisingly, it was really good! Although the beef was a bit heavy on the sauce, I had some leftover beef at home and ended up using the extra sauce with it. The portion size was generous -- I shared it with my husband. Overall, the dinner bento box was definitely worth it. Total: $22. You can call ahead to place a takeout order, but I recommend timing your call so you arrive just before pickup. That way, everything stays fresh. My tempura was still crispy when I got home! read more

Always amazing veggie sushi!! And some of best I have had! It's a must try if you're a vegetarian.

Excellent selection and very yummy. My bf was impressed with the bento. I wish they offered to sell sauce sides and ginger.

Sushi Ken has been a mixed but generally positive experience for us. We appreciated the complimentary edamame, French fries, and ice cream, which was a nice touch. On one visit, we tried the chicken teriyaki bento and chicken katsu bento. They were a bit underwhelming overall, and the chicken katsu was slightly dry. The tempura, however, was well prepared and enjoyable. On another visit, we tried their sushi and were much more impressed -- especially with the vegan options. The Mango Secret Roll and Vegetarian Tiger Roll were standout dishes and very flavorful. Service was fast on both occasions. read more

My wife and I were craving for some Japanese food for lunch. After looking up some restaurants locally, here we are at Sushi Ken after reading the reviews. We came in, sat down, and we were given fries with cold edamame along the menu I knew this is going to be an interesting experience. I mean fries? This is the FIRST time that I have ever been served fries on a meal. Hahaha, but hay, my wife enjoyed them while I sat there in awe and a tiny bit of confusion? I looked at the menu and to my SHOCK, wait what? $12.95 on a 2 item combo bento and 3 item combo for $14.95? With inflation, these guys took the hit themselves instead of passing it to customers. The last time I checked, a McDonald's meal was almost the same as a bento lunch here? My wife and I got the 2 & 3 item bento combo and we were both curious as to how the food would turn out. Guess what? They turned out pretty good! LOL. Now, the inside, they have a wallpaper of a Japanese fish market on the wall and it looked pretty good with the overall look of the restaurant. My 3 star experience has slowly gotten up to 4. After we finish our meal and the bill came, a small scoop of ice cream was served. Wait, free? Yes...FREE. My experience with Sushi Ken was good. Here's my take, if you wanna come by yourself and your family, it's a hidden gem for some decent Japanese food and a BIG bang for your buck. However, if you wanna come with a special someone, a boss or anyone you wanna impress....I probably check elsewhere. (The chef/waiter/waitress inside are not Japanese) Ya, you get the idea. read more

Sushi Ken - 8. Galbi dinner - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fremont, California

A good, classic, reliable, and delicious sushi restaurant! My mom and I dropped by because we were in the area, and it was so good we came back again later in the week. The vegan/vegetarian roll selection was above and beyond. My mom is vegetarian, and she had SO many choices, which is pretty unusual for a sushi restaurant. We ended up trying several vegan rolls, and really liked the Mango Secret roll. I also tried some of their classic sushi rolls and their fish was fresh! Service was fast and the waiters were friendly. The restaurant was cozy and not too crowded for lunch. We really liked how they provide complimentary edamame as an appetizer and ice cream for dessert. A lot of restaurants have phased out of that nowadays, so it was a pleasant surprise. Would totally come again and bring the rest of our family! read more

My family and I dropped by for lunch after visiting the hospital the other day. The inside of the restaurant was a lot more bustling than it appeared. We were greeted when we walked in and a worker immediately rearranged tables to cater to our party size. While we were looking through the menu, they gave us tea and complimentary appetizers: edamame and fries. They even gave us an extra bowl for the edamame shells. And at the end, they gave us a little icecream treat. There is a good variety of options on the menu, ranging from rice bowls to bento plates to sushi rolls and soups. After a bit of a wait (that we didn't mind considering it was peak hours), I got my bento plate with 2 sides. I chose Chicken Katsu with Mixed Tempura and California Rolls. It came with rice, salad, and a miso soup which arrived first. Each and every component was great. I love tempura and I love that there's a mixed option because I like both vegetable and shrimp tempura. One thing of note, the shrimp tempura had a bit more batter than I desired. The pumpkin, eggplant, broccoli, and carrot were wonderful though. I also tried the Agedashi Tofu my aunt ordered. It was lightly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The bento plate came out to be $15 which I think to be very reasonably priced. Considering the price, quality, and service, I will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area!! read more
