    Our tried-and-true sushi spot whenever we do a staycation in Fremont! They have plenty of variety on the menu, fresh fish, great rolls, and tasty appetizers; you really can't go wrong here. FOOD: 8/10 I usually order one of their omakase sets. The fish is always fresh, reasonably priced, and delicious! Their specialty rolls are also solid, especially the baked rolls. One of my favorite things to order is their oyster shooter. I honestly don't remember the official name, haha, but it's such an explosion of flavors in one bite; fresh oyster, quail egg, ikura, and green onions all come together so well. SERVICE: 8/10 The staff is always friendly and efficient. They're attentive throughout the meal and quick to help whenever you need something. AMBIANCE: 8/10 A standard sushi restaurant with a comfortable amount of seating. I also like the open kitchen concept, where you can watch the chefs prepare the sushi.

    I used to love this spot but now the sushi is just okay. My husband got this to go for me since i love this spot, but it was just an average sushi upon tasting and I am not sure what happened to this spot, so I am sad to update my review We have gotten multiple different roles over time

    Oyster Bat Roll
    Abigail D.

    A New Neighborhood Favorite! Gotta love finding a new go-to spot so close to home. Kiya Sushi has officially made it into our regular rotation! So far everything here is top-tier, but a few absolute standouts: -- The Sushi & Omakase: The fish is incredibly fresh! The Chef's Choice Omakase Dream Box is an absolute must-order. -- Specialty Plates & Rolls: They have a great selection--the Summer Roll and the Oyster Bat Roll are both excellent. Will try others next time. And the fresh oysters are chef's kiss. Beyond their menu, I love that they welcome you with complimentary edamame and end your meal with a sweet scoop of ice cream. Incredible food and thoughtful service. We'll be back often!

    Sashimi Regular

    This spot is tucked into a small plaza with a number of other restaurants--finding parking is tough, so be warned! We were lucky to snag a spot and were seated pretty quickly, even though they seem pretty busy. The service was quite good here; they saw when I dropped my chopsticks and replaced it for me almost immediately, and were very attentive to even just eye contact as a request for service. They also offered us a small dish complimentary edamame as a starter and a little scoop of free ice cream at the end, which was a wonderful touch. The food came out really quickly after we ordered. The sashimi was really good! The selection of rolls wasn't my favorite (a lot of them contained crab salad, which I usually don't go for), but I did like the agedashi tofu a lot. If you visit for lunch, they have a couple really great lunch special options. I have tried the 3 rolls for ~$16 combo, and it is definitely worth it. The rolls came out a bit messy and not quite uniform, but they tasted perfectly good. Overall, I would (and have) come back! It feels very much like a middle-of-the-road sushi spot with pretty agreeable pricing, and I think it's a good choice for a casual, unpretentious sushi meal.

    Strawberry Ice cream
    Manit D.

    I think this may be my new favorite sushi place in fremont. To start off, they gave us complimentary yummy edamame. I think Chicken Karaage can definitely be better, it was ok, not bad. I got the Mango crunch roll which was really good loved the flavor. Also we loved the monster roll (shrimp tempura) and the sauce on top really added to the flavor. One of the rolls we got had baked salmon on top, which seemed tasted ok, I think layer could've been a bit thicker. We also got complimentary ice cream at the end of our meal, strawberry this time, not a fan of strawberries but appreciate the gesture. Service was great as well!

    Sushi and Sashimi Special

    The sashimi here is high quality. We got the 20 pc between 2 people and a couple hand rolls. It's tucked away in a corner in an average looking plaza, but make no mistake, this is some good sushi. Not just for the area, but for the bay. The price is also super reasonable. Service is fast and friendly.

    Veggie Crispy Roll
    Ami J.

    My hubby and I finally got a date night in on Friday and ended up at Kiya Sushi in Fremont. Well worth the wait! As a vegetarian, I always walk into sushi spots mentally bracing for slim pickings. But Kiya actually delivered. The veggie options felt intentional and not a substitution tacked onto the menu. Everything was fresh and well put together, and you could tell the kitchen has standards for what goes out. I went with the Veggie Crispy Roll (subbed soy paper) and the Mango Secret as-is. Both were delish and would recommend if you're a veggie lover! A little spotlight for their garlic edamame! The spice, the garlic - it was so well flavored/balanced that I found myself using the regular edamame and dipping it into the leftover garlic/spices. Haha One heads up on seating: if you're going on a weekend, grab a reservation. We walked in and waited about 20 min for two, which wasn't bad, but the spot is cozy. Lots of 2 and 4-top tables packed in pretty close together. Plan accordingly! Overall a great find and a solid date night spot. We'll be back.

    Shrimp Tempura
    Ariana H.

    I looked on Yelp for my husband's favorite food and found Kiya Sushi. When we showed up, parking was really tight with a lot of cars going in and out--the lot is way too small for the number of businesses there. Nevertheless, we stayed and were told it would be a 40-minute wait for a party of eight. They were really busy and had a lot of people waiting at the door, so they were short with us and barely spoke. Unfortunately, once we were seated, the service didn't get any better. We sat for at least 5-10 minutes with no one coming to our table, so we finally asked someone passing by if we could put our order in. She told us to wait and that she'd be right back. When she returned, she said it wasn't a good time to place the order because they were really busy... like, what??? We asked her to clarify two more times, and we heard her right--she wanted us to wait to order because the food would take too long since they were so busy. Not sure how waiting would help when they were still taking other tables' orders. We decided to go ahead and put our order in anyway and just wait. Since we were a party of eight, the food came out sporadically. Some of us got soups (for those who ordered full plates), and some sushi started coming out. We were starving--it was almost 8pm--so we started eating. Unfortunately, my kids were the last to get their food since they ordered chicken teriyaki plates. Once everything arrived, I have to say a lot of it was really good. We got: Angry Fish Sushi: 4/5 Mango Spider: 5/5 California Hand Roll: 4/5 Shrimp Tempura Roll: 5/5 49er Roll: 3/5 Teriyaki Chicken Plate: 4/5 Shrimp tempura: 10/10 best sauce we have ever tasted. Overall, we were really happy with the food once it came, but I wish the service had been way better. I understand being busy, but at that point, they should hire more people to help.

    Salmon teriyaki lunch special
    Karen W.

    My sister had a doctor's appointment at the nearby Kaiser Medical Center and I wanted to try this place for lunch afterwards. Found a parking right in front which said reserved but the hostess said it was ok to park there. We walked in and it's a cozy place and ordered 2 salmon teriyaki lunch specials, which come with miso soup, a generous salad with delicious dressing, 2 gyozas light and crispy, 4 California rolls, and of course the tasty salmon. I also ordered a Salmon Skin handroll full of yummy crunchy salmon skin and to top off the meal, we were each given a delicious complimentary scoop of green tea ice cream! I will definitely come back to this place with the great service, tasty food and cozy ambience.

    Monkey Brain
    Samantha C.

    Tried a newly opened sushi restaurant in Fremont. Order: - Monkey Brain 10/10: the crunch of the outer layer, the spicy mayo, and the avocado plus crab meat was a blend of the perfect bite. - Himachidon 10/10: the fish was super fresh and light. I loved this. It was also served with soft sushi rice that made a delicious texture combo. - Baked Scallop roll 7/10: this was a delicious sweet seared scallop roll but the tiny scallops were not my favorite so it killed the overall roll. - Mango Crunch roll 7.5/10: there was a large piece of soft shell crab piece in each bite which was a pleasant surprise. The mango and other ingredients didn't pack as much flavor as I hoped, so this roll was only decent. - Deluxue hand roll: I didn't love the fish in this roll, so 5/10. It was too fishy and seafood for me.

    I saw mix reviews of this place, but we gave it a try. We had a great experience. Food was really good and staff were attentive and friendly.

    TLDR : Great food, nice ambience and quick service Loved the place for the amazing Sushi rolls! A nice and wonderful ambiance with a cool spot to see your rolls getting prepared. The crunchy rolls were good and the fish was fresh. Loved the jalapeño bombs! Overall a great experience

    Tai Sashimi appetizer
    Victoria F.

    This is a better than average neighborhood sushi restaurant that gets extra points for presentation and food quality. The service can be a little bit. Hurried and brusque but they are efficient and it is clear that Is their goal. We went on a Saturday night and it was busy enough considering we went around 7:30 but there was not a line out the door. Like most places these days they have a fair amount of to go and pick up orders as well, however, that did not impede the service in the restaurant. The dining room is small with a pleasant ambiance and brightly lit, and the bathrooms were quite clean as well. I would like to try to visit on another day, perhaps a week night when it does not seem so hectic. They did give us a very nice little scoop of strawberry ice cream., complimentary to palate cleanse at the end of the meal.A nice spot if you do not mind the hurried style of service.

There's a secret menu item called the Greg roll and it literally has every type of fish you can think of shrimp tempura, tuna, hamachi, salmon and unagi.

I believe it was three dollar hand rolls and they also have half off sake and beer, which is a great deal and I'm gonna have to come back to try that! the ambience is also really nice and quiet. The service is quick so it's a nice place to have a quick lunch if you're in a rush. I will definitely be back for the happy hour and for dinner, but overall really loved the sushi!

We've been to their Palo Alto location on several occasions, so I was excited to have a closer location to us. The servers here were kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The fish tasted fresh, and everything was presented nicely, which definitely made the dishes look even more appetizing. Their sushi rolls are on the smaller side, both in size and portion, but still tasty and well-prepared. You'll probably find yourself ordering more than just one or two rolls if you're looking to leave feeling full. Prices are reasonable for the area, though it's worth keeping the smaller portions in mind when comparing the value. That said, the quality and freshness of the fish make MJ Sushi a good option when you're craving sushi in Fremont.

What's confusing is that when we order in person, we have no problem getting spicy mayo on the side. It seems to only become an issue when we place a pickup order. We're not asking for an unreasonable amount but we usually just ask for a small side of spicy mayo for each roll. Considering how much food we regularly purchase, it's disappointing that something as simple as a few sides of sauce becomes an issue. We genuinely enjoy the food and like supporting this restaurant, but the inconsistency and the attitude when ordering takeout have been disappointing. Hopefully this can be addressed, because it's frustrating to have a good experience in person but a completely different experience when ordering for pickup and being told no when we are already spending a lot of our money here.
