My friend chose to treat me to this cool spot based on the yelp reviews! We met each other at Fremont Bart. He came from San Francisco and I came from San Jose! This is a quaint place and the service was really good! We ordered three plates of sushi! Each plate had like eight pieces, which was a lot, but soo good! This place is going to be the go to place if we wanna meet up in the "middle"! read more

The wallpaper of this place is so freaking cute. It depicts japanese fish markets. It was really fun to look at. This was a perfect place for a date with easy feeling atmosphere. The only thing that would be better not to have is a huge screen TV, but what can you do. The food was shareable and just so delicious. I would go there again. We were not disappointed with any of the things we got. Maguro nigiri Spicy tuna 49er roll Hamachi Kama Black angels 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

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

Reasonably priced sushi rolls and tons of vegan options! They kick things off with complimentary edamame and wrap up the meal with free ice cream too. The space is on the louder side and felt a bit chilly with the door open, but the staff was great and the rolls were even better. My personal favorite was the Mango Secret! Definitely coming back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

The food here is actually really good and comes out super fast, but the environment makes it hard to enjoy. It was hot as hell inside--honestly uncomfortable. I also noticed the cups were dirty, and there were flies and gnats flying around the table while we were trying to eat, which is a huge turn-off. On the positive side, the decor is nice, the menu selection is solid, and the customer service was good for the most part. If they could just fix the AC and tighten up the cleanliness, this place would be a 5-star spot. Great for a quick bite, but be prepared for the heat! 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

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

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

Sushi Ken - Chicken Katsu Bento and Teriyaki Chicken Bento - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fremont, California

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

The serving size was pretty big and their service is spot on. The employees were super friendly, nice and fast in a way that is not hurried. The place also gives a good vibe. 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

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

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

We went to Philz and saw Sushi Ken sign. So glad we came in and had late lunch here because it was worth it. The fish is fresh and the rice to fish ratio is great!! I love all the complementary food they were giving their customers. The price is also reasonable. The quality is great!! The service is great. The food came out quickly and my hot tea is refilled. As I said we came after the lunch rush. There was plenty of tables. The place is clean. read more

The service here is top-notch, and I love that the meal starts with free edamame and french fries, giving you something to snack on while you check out their huge menu. They have 15 vegan sushi rolls on the menu! I really appreciate when a restaurant puts effort into creating a vegan menu instead of just offering the standard avocado or cucumber roll. My favorite vegan rolls were the Spicy Veggie Tofu Roll (though I thought the tortilla chips on top were a bit odd) and the Saishoku Roll. We also tried the Mango Secret Roll; it was just okay, I wouldn't order it again since it was too sweet for my taste and didn't have much texture. My non-vegan friend really liked the rolls she picked as well. I will definitely stop by next time I'm in the area to try more vegan rolls. read more

Great spot in Fremont for sushi, especially if you're vegetarian. I tried the Secret Love roll and the Spicy Veggie Tofu roll, and both were excellent. The flavors were well balanced, fresh, and the rolls were made really nicely -- not overloaded with rice like some places do. The vegetable tempura was also very good: light, crispy, and not greasy. You can tell they fry it properly so the vegetables stay tender inside. What made the experience even better was the small gesture at the end -- they give complimentary ice cream, which is a nice surprise and a great way to finish the meal. Overall, great food, good vegetarian options, and thoughtful service. Definitely worth visiting if you're in Fremont and craving sushi. read more

I keep hearing about this place from locals for a while now so I gave it a shot. I am always up for trying new places. We went here on my bf's bday for dinner. It was almost a full house but we got seated and served quickly. I got Saba shioyaki bento and my bf got Curry katsu. My bento was okay, not the best but not the worst. I wouldn't mind ordering it again. The curry katsu was really bad. My bf was being polite and didn't want me to say anything but it was incredibly salty and not edible. I asked the staff if they can please remake it and they gladly did which was nice. When we got the second dish it was still not very good and still salty. Almost like the sauce had too much S&B Curry Powder and not much of any other flavor. I expected my typical Japanese Curry flavors, umami, slightly sweet, slightly salty, mild aroma of spices. But this one smelted strong of curry powder and ginger. I felt bad for my bf who had a bad meal on his bday. Service was okay, the server wasn't very nice, no eye contact just place our plates in front of us and leaves. But it was quick. Overall I don't think I will be coming back. I have a couple of favorite Japanese restaurants in the area that have better service and better curry katsu. read more

AMAZING! Best Japanese restaurant in Fremont! Had it delivered through Door Dash. So fresh, hot, and delicious!! Highly recommend!

I came here for lunch and will not be returning. First, the lights were off for half of my meal. There was no power outage as the TV was still on. While waiting for my food, the waitress brought out complimentary edamame and French fries. The fries were soggy and drenched in ketchup. The edamame tasted like someone sprinkled the whole bottle of salt on it. My chirashi don came with a side of miso soup and salad. The fish was cut so thick. The quality was bad; you could tell it was wasn't fresh. I didn't end up finishing and threw half of it away. The best part of the meal was the free vanilla ice cream at the end. read more

We ordered a huge takeout meal for 20 ppl. So the review is based off that, the food was packaged great with no spillage and the sushi itself was still fresh when eaten like 45minutes later. The chicken teriyaki and galbi were solid non sushi meals as well. Katsu was a little dry but can't do much about takeout for that Sashimi was pretty fatty and actually had rice that came with it which was unexpected for a sashimi platter Overall great service and easy ordering online California rolls were solid as well and all plated very nicely read more

Latest dine-in visit to Sushi Ken was just as good as our previous ones! The previous visit was to-go and the food was still good! This is probably our 4th or 5th dine-in visit. Went to have lunch with the wife, new son along with my sister. We got there around 12p on a Saturday and thankfully only a few people were there! Thankfully because we didn't have to wait for a table! The floor is slippery, not necessarily wet, so be careful when walking around. The restaurant had medium noise level. Lots of conversations, but not so overbearing that it was loud. We did not have to yell at each other when talking at our four top. I like the edamame and fries appetizers as we perused the menu. If you don't like ketchup, the fries as is is not for you. The fries are not hot and I am not there for these apps, but still ok. We ordered an omakase, aburi salmon belly nigiri, Rocket Queen Roll (no cream cheese) tells maki and sake maki (no photos of these, ate too fast). This place is so solid. We can always rely on the consistency here! The prices are affordable. 10/10 would come back! read more

The sushi rice was absolutely perfect as well - Snowman roll. It's very rare to find "no rice" sushi rolls like this. We live in SF and have access to world class sushi easily and cannot recall a roll like this anywhere in the Bay Area. Will be a visit for us anytime we are in fremont. read more
