Tempura
David T.

Not so hidden gem! Was craving sushi and wanted to try this place since we always pass it on our way to Costco and Target. Their Crunchy Asparagus Roll is a winner - love that crispy asparagus. The White Lion roll is also fantastic - fresh fish and avocado with a tasty sauce.And the Tempura Udon? So comforting, especially on a cold day. The vibe is nice and cozy, perfect for a casual meal. Prices are fair and they have tv's so if you want to watch some sports you can! Overall give them a try if you're in the area!

Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box
Danielle L.

I've visited this location a handful of times throughout the years but my last experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I ordered the teriyaki beef bento box and about half of the beef was raw, the other half was reddish pink which seemed okay to eat. (Was not able to take a photo before sending the food back) I showed the waitress the beef and she agreed it looked raw. They made another portion of beef as a replacement which wasn't as red as the first one. I ended up just boxing everything up to go. My boyfriend ordered a chicken katsu bento box and he enjoyed his meal. Everything was cooked well and had great flavor. I've been to this place before and have had great service, it was just this last time that wasn't too great. The beef didn't look cooked all the way in my opinion, but that may be how other people like to eat it. I may go back to try this place again in the future and my rating may change next time.

Special Bento (3-piece nigiri not shown) and lion king roll
Janice B.

Dropped by for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The four of us shared the special bento box which includes beef teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, chicken katsu, tempura, gyoza, nigiri, soup, and salad. We also ordered a lion king roll and a California roll. All the dishes were well-prepared - flavorful and tender. Service was friendly and on point, and the dining room was clean and tidy as well, with the college football final conveniently on TV for us to glance at. From the 3-star review I was not expecting to like it so much, so wanted to add my 2 cents and tell y'all to give it a try!

When Hubby and I was in the area the weekend prior we were so conflicted on where we wanted to eat. So we decided that since we were there we would eat at a different restaurant and than the next weekend (since we forgot our item that needed to be return to the stores) that we would come back and eat at Little Madfish. We were craving sushi and again it's so hard to find a good sushi place for us that we both enjoy. Once we got in we were seated. Our waiter saw how small our table was and he offered a bigger table that just opened up. We liked that there are soo many different varieties to choose from for the sushi rolls. We got the chicken teriyaki bento box, Blazing Lion King, Lion King, Mango Lobster Roll, and a few other rolls that I cannot remember (since I'm writing this review about a few weeks later lol). Everything was so delicious! I believe our least favorite is the Blazing Lion King, only because we could sort of taste the liquid that was used to make the Blazing Lion King flame up. We really enjoyed it here and will definitely add this to our favorite sushi spots.

Good sushi! The staff here is really friendly. The portions are really good for the price, I love getting the bento boxes! They offer a ton of different rolls so there's definitely something for everyone!

Tempura Bento Box
Dave S.

Everyone was really nice. Food came out in good time. Everything tasted great. My youngest (7) who wanted to try sushi and this location was very happy with it all. That is very rare! We will return to Little Mad Fish. Thanks to staff for making our family dinning out night great.

Sushi was good for a quick dinner. Service was quick. The environment and ambiance can be improved.

Pork Tonkotsu Ramen
Rachel L.

Couldn't decide whether to give a 3 or 4 because, although the food is average, the price for the proportions was great. All the food included in the images PLUS a salmon teriyaki bento box added up to about $70, which is cheap compared to many other sushi and ramen spots. Taste wise, I really wasn't the biggest fan of their Pork tonkotsu ramen. Meat was super dry and noodles were quite bland. The broth was very average. Sushi rolls were decent. I actually like their spicy tuna as it has a nice kick. However, the orange blossom and golden gate roll were very very similar which we didn't expect. I think the reasonable prices can be attributed to the 20% off deals offered during their happy hour. So, if you want to have decent food that's good for the price, come here during their happy hour (see menu image below). Otherwise, there are much better sushi and ramen places to try. Service is great! Waiters and waitresses care to check up on customers and are friendly. Parking shouldn't be a problem as there's quite a large parking lot in the plaza.

Baked Scallop Roll
Andrea A.

Great sushi but service could be better. My party of 3 decided to go to the boba shop next door since we had four parties ahead of us and didn't want to wait in the cold. When you add yourself to the waitlist they ask for your phone number, so we thought they would text us when our table was ready. Wrong. They did not text us, and then after waiting what we felt was too long we went to check and our name had already been crossed off the list. So make sure you sit around and listen for your name. Food: the rolls were delicious. My favorite was the baked scallop roll which was more of a bake than a roll. The sweet potato roll was surprisingly delicious and didn't expect sweet potatoes to go to well on sushi.

hamachi handroll + salmon maki
Irena S.

Came here for lunch with my mom today at around 1:30pm, had an overall really positive experience! I'm actually pretty surprised that its overall rating is a 3 star. Our order: - hot tea for both of us (25 cents each) - for me, a salmon maki roll + a hamachi handroll - for mom (and to share with me): the bento box with CA roll, 3 pc sashimi, 3 pc nigiri, tempura. Comes with miso soup and salad. Total price $35.16 prior to tip Pros: - Pretty fast service, didn't take too long to get seated (granted it's a weekday late lunch) - Pretty decent service, kept our teas refilled - Decent vibes - music wasn't too loud but enough to cover the next table over's conversation, loved the early 2000's music - Pretty decent food!! Loved my hamachi handroll, and my mom's nigiri was pretty delicious. I felt like the portions were pretty decent for her $15 meal - Easy parking in the lot with multiple businesses nearby (Starbs, iTea, etc.) - Pretty extensive menu, something for everyone if you don't like raw fish, a very wide variety of rolls. I used to not really be a maki/nigiri person and would only get sashimi and rolls, and honestly all of them are a pretty good deal. - Very fresh salmon in the maki - Very tasty tea - Bathroom was fairly clean Cons: - None really, overall I felt like it was good bang for your buck if you order the right stuff. I would say the only con is from observing today, it would probably be a little harder to accommodate a larger party - probably the best size would be 1-4 people max.

Baked Lion King Roll

I'm giving this 5 star for excellent service and reasonable pricing. The establishment is open and clean. They have specials. Today I tried the fish on chips. I didn't know what to expect but it was so good. A great fusion. Flavorful and creative. I really enjoyed the combination of salty and spicy. This is a great dish for a diverse area like Fremont. I highly recommend this place. I think it's underrated.

I love this place, they have a happy hour menu with rolls and appetizers for 15% off! Great quality, quantity and good service.

Crunch California Roll and Spicy Garlic Salmon
Karishma G.

I wanted to try a new sushi place and saw their menu was quite unique. I ordered their Crunch California Roll and Spicy Garlic Salmon. Both were not to my liking. The California roll was not crunchy or spicy. It tasted sweet, which was disgusting. The garlic salmon tasted like a California roll with ketchup. Nothing spicy or garlicky about it. This place was a disappointment.

Some of the best sushi and great variety of food in the area. Drinks could be a little better but…read morethe ramen is amazing!!! Great service and very attentive.

LENT 2026: GOOD FRIDAY LUNCH…read more The first time I ate at Toro Sushi Stone Grill & Bar was the last Saturday of February for my mom's birthday. We had a private room for the party. Out of food that was served I really enjoyed eating the sashimi, which was presented on a platter. I also liked grilled salmon. During Lent I wanted to come back to Toro for lunch. I thought about getting sashimi or grilled salmon when I came back. A couple days before coming to Toro for Good Friday lunch I looked at the menu online. Why pay for the dishes I ate before? One of the dishes that intrigued me was the baked unagi fried rice. However the baked salmon fried rice sounded enticing. Also one of the appetizers sounded interesting was the sashimi pizza. My plan was to order an appetizer and an entree for Good Friday lunch. On Friday when I got a table I looked at the menu. The lunch special listed unagi don. Then I started thinking to myself. Why do I have to eat only fish on Fridays during Lent? Vegetables are permitted during Lent Fridays. I looked at the salad menu and one item intrigued me was the avocado salad. Instead of getting a sashimi pizza for an appetizer I choose avocado salad. Knowing a salad would not be filling I ordered the crispy salmon skin roll. For entree I ordered the unagi don. I'll start with the crispy salmon. A lot of people don't like to eat crispy skin of a fish. I love it. The crispy salmon skin roll is a filling roll due to the sauce, which adds flavor to the rice. Instead of a roll I would like to see crispy skin salmon as an appetizer as it would be similar to a chicharron. Regarding the avocado salad I liked how avocado wasn't skimpy in portion. There's one thing I don't like in salad and that is water. I understand cleaning the lettuce to get rid of the dirt, but the lettuce better be dry instead of water dripping at the bottom on the bowl. I came here for the unagi don. I felt I made a right decision of ordering the unagi don instead of the baked unagi fried rice. With the steamed rice I could taste the eel whereas the fried rice would've overpowered the eel. The unagi don was a filling dish and I believe if I ordered a baked unagi fried rice I would have felt bloated. On this last Friday during Lent I enjoyed my lunch at Toro Sushi Stone Grill and Bar. I liked the sashimi that was served for my mom's birthday party than what I ordered during Good Friday. I can see myself coming here again. Maybe next time I try the stone grill items.

Service was also great, everyone was really nice and we were frequently checked on. The food was also good and I saw a walnut shrimp roll I'd like to try in the future. My one major complaint was about ambiance. The restaurant still has Christmas and Halloween decorations up and it's May. Also they have somewhat chaotic audio playing that doesn't match the videos on the screen and is pretty loud so it's a little hard to talk. I also believe that presentation of the food is lacking. Overall, I would come back or order for delivery! Just wish the atmosphere was given a little more TLC.
