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
Rui Y.

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!

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.

Sushi and Sashimi Special
Frank L.

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.

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.

Salmon mango
Yash T.

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

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.

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.

Katarina R.

BEST sushi spot in the area. Located in a small shopping center, Kiya Sushi is easily accessible. It's always busy, so don't be surprised if you have to wait a bit before getting seated as it's not a huge space. Service is great, staff is attentive. Onto the sushi... SO fresh, great quality, and can't beat it for the price. I've been here often enough and never had a miss. I love the number 1 roll (cucumber wrapped) because it's a low carb option with amazing citrusy flavor. I've had a handful of their rolls and they're all incredible. Another item I always order is the Takoyaki. Personally, I like them pretty crispy on the outside and a decent amount of octopus inside. These hit that mark perfectly! Will always be my go to spot

Pros: - Wide but straightforward menu - I got the house ramen ($17), and we also go thte umami brussel sprouts ($9) and I got a fuzzy navel drink ($8). - Solid taste and broth - I liked that the house ramen broth was light but flavorful (I did "mild" spicy just for the flavor and it was perfect), the brussel sprouts were a tasty app, and the fuzzy navel drink was actually very tasty! A little treat. I was also tempted to get a dessert but sadly the budget did not allow haha. I didn't regret any of our choices - SUPER fast service. The ramen came out basically like within minutes of us finishing ordering. - I like that they give you a water pitcher for you to use the rest of your meal, so you don't have to keep flagging down the wait staff for water refills. - Cute decor- little lamps on the table. - Was not crowded at all around 11am opening time, and easy parking right outside in the lot. - I saw them accommodate a 6 person party pretty well, but most of the tables are 4-6 people or less. - The wait staff was super efficient and nice. - I like that the ramen comes with a lot of veggies, and although the portions are on the "smaller" side, I don't mind that since I have a tendency to over-eat. Cons: - in the beginning when there weren't many other parties in the restaurant, I felt like me and my friend's voices were super loud and echo-y (given we're both loud yappers lol) so I think it would have been nice if there was some background music playing. But not too big of a deal. - I could see some people feeling like the price doesn't justify the size of the portions of noodles/meat, but I didn't mind.

I've never had to wait for a table since I usually come pretty late. My go-to is the Hinodeya "House" Ramen with level 3 spicy, but I've enjoyed the other ramens I've tried as well. The Spicy Miso is a good option if you want a little kick, while the Clam Ramen has a nice, clean-tasting broth with plenty of clams, just watch out for a little sand or small shell fragments. For appetizers, I recommend the chicken karaage (large, juicy pieces!) and umami Brussels sprouts. If you have room for dessert, give their matcha parfait a try too! Overall, a reliable spot in the area that I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm craving ramen.

Yeah this review is long overdue. I've been here probably at least 5 times now and will be back in…read morethe future. Normally, I'm a Tsukumen hater. My first experience was Taishoken, and I maintain that it's trash. Fundamentally, my issue with the dish is that the cold noodles mix with the hot dipping sauce, creating a lukewarm final product. I prefer my food to either be hot or cold. Not really the middle. Shugetsu solves this by offering hot noodles. Dip your steaming hot noodles into the scalding dipping sauce for a delicious experience. Another busted thing about this place is that, for the same price, you can get any size portion of noodles. Fellow members of value town would be tempted to get the XL for maximum value. It's definitely enough noodles for 2 meals! Finally, I also highly recommend their Aburasoba. It's a delicious dry mixing ramen that reminds me almost of Mongolian bbq. The meat is so tender and scrumptious. Looking back, I hope this restaurant flies under the radar cuz the venue is quite small. If it gets busy the parking lot wouldn't be able to accommodate.

Hopefully they'll have more staff as things settle in.
