We had a really good dinner at Kakuna Sushi tonight! The restaurant is very bright, clean, and inviting, with about 14 tables. We were told we could sit anywhere we liked, which was nice. Our water came out right away without us even having to ask, and the server brought out the wasabi and ginger for the table. It did take a little while for someone to come over and take our order, even though the restaurant wasn't very busy, but once we ordered, everything was great. My husband ordered the Nigiri Combo, which came with 6 pieces of nigiri and a California roll. He thought all of the fish was really good, although he felt the salmon wasn't quite as fresh as the other fish. He absolutely loved the wasabi and said it was "kick ass!" I ordered the Chicken Katsu Bento Box, which came with miso soup, salad, 2 gyoza, and rice. Everything was good, and the portions were satisfying. The prices are very reasonable, too. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and the restaurant has a nice, clean atmosphere. I highly recommend giving Kakuna Sushi a try. We will definitely be back!
Another update! They have expanded into the space that used to be a martial arts studio so they have a large space to sit down and eat. Whenever we do want to have sushi rolls, we tend to look at Kakuna as it's nearby and on our way during our errands. We usually call in our orders and we get our food in a timely manner and we can easily pay by credit card. We did eat inside once and it was a pleasant experience. Definitely a good spot for sushi. Try them out!
We came during lunchtime on a weekend. It wasn't very crowded, parking was easy in their lot. We were seated right away. I don't recall the name of the roll I ordered but everything was reasonably priced and the portions were right! It is brightly lit inside with natural lighting. Service was quick. Everyone was satisfied with the quality of their rolls and would come back. I wish I lived closer to a kakuna because I would go more often! Food came out pretty quickly as well.
Honestly this is one of my favorite sushi places to go to! It is inexpensive for sushi, and the fish quality is always good! The location and outside look is pretty outdated but the food is fire The utensils and water is self serve but the workers were pretty nice. Nothing over the top but for the price, this place is unbeatable!
The Sushi was discolored honestly the shrimp did not even look like shrimp, and the way they served it was really bad , big pieces not appetizing at all. The guy that served me was really nice and he agreed with my opinion. The place is big but really hot inside., Sorry but I was not impressed.
Generous portions and content in sushi. For a change we couldn't finish three rolls! Ample seating and good fast service. Ps: yummy place
Quick service, good food and price is so reasonable. Had a lunch w my friend and we were surprised that we haven't never been here. Will be back here with family
I've eaten inside the restaurant as well as placed takeout order via delivery service and enjoyed the food both times. In person the service is quick and attentive. The chicken bento lunch was delicious and well cooked. The rainbow roll was also pleasant.
Came here with my friend because we were craving sushi, and we weren't disappointed! We ordered three rolls: Splash Brothers, Orange Blossom, and the Boojee Roll. The Boojee Roll, with deep-fried lobster and real crab meat, was our favorite--it was incredible. Their mixed vegetable tempura was extremely crispy. Even though we didn't eat it right away, it didn't get soggy or lose its crunch. We also opted for the regular salted edamame instead of garlic, which was perfect. The seaweed salad was wonderfully refreshing and had a nice crisp, cold texture. Finally, we had the spicy black garlic ramen with pork belly. We've had it before, and this time it was a bit spicier than usual, but still full of flavor and deeply satisfying. Overall, everything was tasty, flavorful, and extremely enjoyable.
Came here for a late lunch and tbh was a little confused bc the entrance just looked like a to go place but the seating is actually to the right of it LOL. It's very spacious in there I feel like there can be more seating/bar seating. We ordered the mango crunch roll, nigiri moriwase, carpaccio salmon and carpaccio hamachi. Everything was good but we thought the carpaccio would be more thinner pieces but they were pretty fat and filling so we got full rly quick. Plus the sauce tasted like nuoc mam :p
This is my first time at Kakuna. We came in around 4 pm and were seated immediately. The restaurant is spacious and bright. Solid sushi for the price! The kakuna roll was my favorite.
This place is still my go-to sushi spot! I always recommend whenever friends and family want a spot. They've also expanded to fit more people too! No longer a hole in the wall but a staple. The service is great and everyone is friendly. My water cup is always full. The food itself is amazing and I always leave so satisfied. The sushi is fresh. I've pretty much tried the entire menu and I still come back. My favorites for the table is the Kakuna roll and the Japanese nachos. The deluxe chirashi bowl here is the best of every place I've tried. You get a little bit of everything and I mean EVERYTHING including uni & unagi. For the price you pay, it's a steal! I always order the deluxe chirashi when I'm here.
The best sushi I could eat close to home. I have been ordering their specialty rolls, like Lion King rolls, for two years via DoorDash delivery. I decided to sit down by myself in their renovated restaurant. It was more spacious since they took over part of the Kung Fu school next door. I was seated right away and offered water with complimentary refill. I ordered their Cherry Blossom Roll and The Bay (less spicy). The Cherry Blossom Roll had fresh raw tuna and salmon, and avocado filling, topped with tobiko, which was a healthier option to get and light to digest. The Bay was the opposite, and it took longer to arrive. It was drenched in melted mozzarella cheese and sriracha mayo covering the whole roll. It took me a while to pick up a roll because it was melted and flattened, hence it's like driving through the heavy fog in SF. Not much scallops in here. That's why it's called The Bay lol. I shouldn't order this one because it was too heavy for me to finish, and it wasn't the same as pictured on their menu. Overall, I enjoyed the raw signature rolls and the Lion King. Maybe I'll try the nigiri next time for a treat. Service was good and fairly priced.

My coworker knows all of the good places! We ordered online for pickup and I chose the seaweed salad and Lion King roll. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. The salad had the right amount of crunch and the roll was very tasty. Kakuna is very generous with Ginger and Wasabi too. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes! read more
Came here on a Sunday at noon. Lots of tables opened, not a good sign. The place is not as fancy as I expected . We ordered different things. Rolls were drown in sauces. Lion king roll was the worse I've ever tasted. Very little salmon which I can't taste and the only thing I can taste is Mayo. Deluxe chirashi is sooo bad. $35 for very bad fish that were not fresh at all. I didn't want to eat it to prevent getting food poisoning. It was that bad. Chicken Udon soup was actually not bad. Service was ok. Definitely won't be coming back. read more
I have always gone to the Milpitas location due to the small indoor dining space at the Fremont location. I went on 2/24 and there is way more space! I'm not sure when they extended it, but I only live 15 minutes away so I'll be coming here more often. Service was great and the food was amazing per usual! It's really clean and aesthetic looking more than the Milpitas location. read more

I have to say my new favorite sushi restaurant in the bay. Fresh and price. I got the deluxe Charishi. All the fishes are fresh. I recommended read more
First time in a long time that a 4+ star rating of a business on Yelp has steered me the wrong direction. I was excited to give Kakuna Sushi a try but it was a let down. The menu looks a bit different than what people have posted from last year; less items shown now. Maybe its their lunch menu vs the dinner menu? There's another menu for AYCE (All You Can Eat) with two pricings; kids based off of height and adults. Ordered three rolls under the Signature Rolls (Raw) section: * Citrus - Swimming in citrus liquid, pieces were inconsistent with rice/fish ratio. There was some sort of pickled radish in the middle? * Fireball - Supposed to have spicy tuna but was non existent. The ebi tempura in the middle was room temp which meant its been sitting out for a while hence the batter was soggy * Sunshine - This roll was decent but again, swimming in some sort of house sauce, and while the fried garlic bits on top were nice, they also add chopped pickled radish/daikon? Kids had a Katsu Chicken Bento Box and a Chicken Terriyaki Bento box. Katsu was good, we asked for no sesame since my daughter is allergic but yet there was a dash of furikake/sesame ontop of her rice when the order came out. The Chicken Terriyaki was chewy and a little sour. I was hoping they would've grilled it but it was pale looking with a light brown terriyaki sauce. Miso soup was extremely salty. Didn't even drink it...even heard another customer ask the server "is the miso soup supposed to be this salty?" Also, the plastic cups they give you for water looked like the old ones I used to get at the local pizza parlor or Chucky Cheese. Dark red and brownish/yellow. In the end, I spent $95 for some sushi that was meh. Don't think we'll be coming back. read more

Yummy food and good bang for your buck! We enjoy their gaijin and dragon roll, and their sashimi salad is pretty good too! My kids enjoy their salmon teriyaki and shrimp tempuras. read more
Service: First, the staff were generally helpful and nice. The Food: You can just see the raw fish looking grey and brown. All the baked rolls (Lion King and The Bay) were smothered and drowned in mayo. It was just so gross trying to savage the roll that's buried under. The best roll turned out to be Godzilla which is a cooked roll. Kakuna was so-so but was partly raw and had the browning color. read more

We were craving AYCE (all you can eat) sushi. Yelp found me this place in Fremont. I called and was told they have it at $47 per person. We went there and upon entering, I asked the lady behind the cashier where can we sit and she pointed to the sitting area. There was only one menu on each table. There were 3 of us so I had to go collect menus from other tables. The waiter came by with 3 glasses of water and asked if we were ready to order? The plastic cups are in different colors, one had a cracked and the other one had a chipped. The menu didn't have AYCE sushi on there so we inquired about it further. The waitress came back with a paper like check list with no explanation. We decided this was definitely not where we want to have AYCE sushi. So 2 of us ordered bento boxes with add ons. We ordered 2 spicy tuna, we got 1. We ordered 1 spicy salmon roll, we got none. We ordered 1 California roll, we got 2. We ordered 1shrimp tempura, we got 2. We ordered 1 vegetable tempura, we got none. We also got 2 salmon sashimi that were not ordered. We figured they didn't know what they are doing since our order is all messed up anyway and proceeded to eating. Half way through our meal with one salmon sashimi already gone. The waitress came over and proceeded to take away our other sashimi to give to another table. Is been sitting on our all that time. I told her no and that we will pay for it. Found out after we got home that we were charged for 2 spicy tuna when we only received one. Anyway, this place is scary. Take your money and go elsewhere. read more

Good service, nice interior, not too busy for Friday night dinner, & great rolls and portions! Kakuna roll was the best! Butterface cream cheese was too much for the roll, wouldn't recommend. We also ordered Hellapeño Roll with no jalapeños and they were nice enough to take it out for us. read more

We wanted to support a local sushi shop and try somewhere new and boy did this place disappoint us! The fish was not fresh at all! As you can see in the photo, the tuna looks like it was either seared or marinated but NOPE it was neither! The color was most likely from being old. It even tasted old. The salmon belly was crunchy! I've never had salmon belly with that kind of texture. The two stars are from the fireball roll, which was decent, along with the Pork Belly Bao. Would I try this place again? For sushi, that's a hard NO! read more
I was on the hunt for something tasty for lunch when I stumbled upon this place and decided to give their chicken Katsu a shot. Wow, I was surprised! I thought it would be just mediocre fast food Katsu, but it turned out to be fantastic. It had a nice, light crispy coating, and the chicken inside was super juicy and just right. Plus, the portion size was huge! The only downside was that the floor was sticky, but you couldn't really see it until you stepped in it. I mentioned it to the cashier, and she actually stepped in it too to see what I meant but didn't do anything about it. Since it was a busy area, others were bound to step in it too. read more

I came on a Wednesday was the only customer here. I thought the inside looked really elegant and nice. But unfortunately the food didn't match the ambience.. I came here bc I saw an influencer rave about this place but lesson learned not to trust everything social media says Fish didn't taste very fresh and there was hair in our food, I'm not sure if it was remade or they just took the hair out and gave it right back to us because it was super quick. I lost my appetite.. didnt even get a my bad just a "ok" idk if it's just a one off, but probably won't be coming back :( read more

My dad was craving sushi so I brought him out to Kakuna Sushi on a Saturday evening. It wasn't too busy and we were seated right away. Plenty of tables and the space was pretty big. We got our order pretty quickly. The rolls were decently priced and tasty. They had a lot of different flavor profiles in the rolls. We also got the Chirashi Deluxe bowl and that was tasty as well! The fish was soft and fresh, and the rice to fish ratio was good (not too much rice!) I'd probably skip on the soft shell crab next time, it tasted a bit over fried. Overall, a great place to go to for decently priced sushi. read more

Are they open for dine in, i know before they weren't?
Yes. Both location are open for dine in
Do they serve imitation crab? Or real crab meat?
default is imitation, but you can upgrade to real crab meat for like 3 dollars 50! It's worth it, imo.
Are they open for in person dining at this time?
I've seen small tables but I can't confirm if they are open for in person dining. You could get those delicious sushi to a park nearby and eat them.
I've tried calling on two separate sundays and no one ever answers the phone. It says it's open on Sundays but does anyone know if it is in fact open or closed?
I had to call a few times on Sunday evening after 6 until someone finally called me back. They said they are very busy and couldn't pick up every call. Also when it's busy,…
