Great food and great food. Dinner was tapas / family style, which was shareable among our group of 4. My partner is allergic to shell fish so we were delighted to find many alternative options. Will definitely come back!

The 11-course tasting menu available at the Chef’s Counter is exquisite. I have indulged in it twice this year with no regrets. Trent, the Owner and Chef, creatively layers textures and flavors that result in a delectable taste journey. Each course is built using fresh and ethically sourced ingredients... many of which come from local Farmers Markets. Josh, the General Manager, and his team focus on ensuring the experience is friendly, informative, and gracious. The environment is clean, comfortable, and relaxing. I am hooked on One Fish Raw Bar.

Totally surpassed our expectationsWe tried the 11 dishes set meal performed by the chef. Had no idea what would be brought to the table, we could only guess what would be the next. It was like hitting the jackpot whenever the blending of the flavors was just right.Different ways to perform the ingredients, the dressings and the toppings brought them to life.Worth trying if you are not a “LET US COOK” person.

Visited One Fish for our third time last night for another lap around the 11- course tasting menu, this time for my 60th birthday. Trent again impressed our group of 4 with plate after plate of dazzling creations. His ingredients take you on a tour of the worlds culinary delights. Every course is so well crafted with complex yet balanced flavors. We always get the sake pairing. Josh again led us on a fantastic journey through many different gorgeous sakes. Together these 2 geniuses provided another exquisite journey. Get to One Fish soon!!Enjoyed the 11-course tasting menu for the 2nd time tonight, our Fwateenth anniversary. Each course is exquisitely crafted with dynamic flavors and gorgeous plating. Ingredients are always fresh and are sourced both locally and globally. Enjoy the sake pairing when you have this meal and let Josh walk you through a wonderful experience. Service is also exceptional. One Fish is a truly memorable experience.

Came on a Wednesday night for date night! Surprised there was so many open seats - to be honest based on the meal we had!We did the 5 course premium and the food just kept coming. So many different flavors served with various sashimi that was delicate and balanced. It’s very easy to overpower the flavors of piece of sashimi but the amount of control for each sauce + fish pairing was exquisite!Menu changes every night based on daily fish - however my recommendations if available:1. Uni + Cornbread crumble2. Hiramasa3. Their side of Cornbread with dill and roe, so good.Will be back sometime to try the 11 course!!

Love the variety and creativity with fresh ingredients. Lots of raw fish, refreshing sauces, plating was colorful, eye pleasing. The cooked dishes later were good complements. Sake pairing was good too. Overall, enjoyed the experience.

Amazing addition to downtown Campbell. Tasting menu was bold and creative. Courses were well paced with great sake options and a few beer selections. Will be back to try some selections from a la cart menu

Seafood restaurant that specializes in fusion raw seafood. Service was incredible and all the waiters were super helpful and knew the dishes well.We went for the 5 course meal which was more like an 9 course meal in terms of plates. Food comes in 5 waves with some having a few plates at a time. We paid extra to get the black truffle ravioli and caviar.The standouts for me were the oysters, black truffle ravioli, caviar, shrimp, and smoked salmon cream cheese. The rest were good and the only one I wasnt the biggest fan of was the chocolate dessert.

Wow where should I startThe food, the atmosphere, and the service are all top notch. And on top of that, considering what we got, it’s really good price!! It’s our first time here but we will definitely go back and bring friends with us next time.This is a place that you can tell that it’s full of love from the chef and the general manager. They are so passionate about the food and the service provided to their customers.Thank you for the amazing dining experiences offered to us! We had a wonderful night :)Oh btw, we didn’t know what to order so we pick the family style which chef picked for us. And that was the best decision made ever!

Had a great dinner here last week. Dishes was delicious and beautifully presented. Sake made an excellent pairing and was kept chilled during the meal. The chef stopped by our table to make sure we were enjoying our meal and to talk to our friends who used to visit UNI when they lived in Boston. Fantastic service, as well. 5 stars all around!

I buy the elevated vibes and I think in general it’s a good place for friends gathering. Yeah waiters will only serve you the first round of water and won’t take away empty plates, but that’s expected at the bay I guess. What stabs me is the 20% service fee that’s subject to taxes. I don’t want to be nickel and dime and embarrass myself in front of my friends, plus the restaurant did write a tiny line at the bottom of the menu declaring the 20% mandatory charge, so I didn’t question this on my bill. But, to be 100% transparent here, as much as I love many dishes here, I will never come back. Forcing something like this down your customers throat leaves a sour taste. Good luck with customer retention.

We had a very nice evening here. My GF and I came for a late Valentine’s Day dinner and loved the food!! Everything was super fresh, very tasty and interesting. Did not expect a chef-forage mushroom tart, it was unreal! We will be back with friends to show them this hidden gem

* A note on grades, a rate outwards from three stars. *One Fish Raw Bar is an ambitious, New World inspired addition to the revitalized South Bay elevated sushi & sashimi scene.We had the 12-course omakase at the low bar on a long weekend.The former sandwich joint space on Campbell Ave is well suited to the concept and the service is friendly & attentive.The menu is creative, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented.The sake selection is well curated and the staff are notably knowledgeable in this respect.That being said, the Peninsula and South Bay has seen a cohort of high-priced sushi and sashimi operations open their doors in the last two years. The comparison isnt favorable to OFB; it falls short of expectations with respect to the omakase.The a la carte experience is likely a better option for value.The sake is worth a trip and bumped my rating up by a star.

One fish raw bar specialize in seafood, specifically, on raw.The staff are all extremely friendly.The restaurant has indoor seating, bar seating and outdoor seating. All pretty comfortable.One Fish Raw Bar has different selections of seafood everyday.We tried razor clams, scallops, shrimp, uni. They all fresh and had their distinct taste with some added surprised flavor.On the hot food side, we tried the clam chowder, the anchovies, and the braised short rib.The clam chowder is flavorful but light, every different from other chowder that I tried.The short rib fell out of bone, but over seasoned a bit, too salty.They also have a good selection of sparking and white wine, also sake.They have a short tasting menus for $50 on Thursday only, then the full tasting menus for $185.For the 4 of us, we order a bottle of wine, with about 8 dishes. The average per person is about $80.Please note that the food portion is on the small side, you might need about 3 dishes per person.

I tried to order some popular dishes but I was told that the menu changes and some of them are not available, eg. No razor clam, salmon, lobster roll and some dessert options😂. Recommend all the dishes in my pictures -- the Hokkaido scallops, the one with califlower, and so on. Might try the 11 courses tasting menu next time 🙂

We ordered the premium family style. It’s a 5 courses set. Instead of high quality food, all we got are dressing sources. All the foods are decorated with not impressive dressing. $155 per person. We got yellow fine tuna as one of the five courses. Total $310 before tax and tip. You can order a sushi boat, 6 pcs toro and 2 entrees in high end Japanese restaurants. Nothing worth to mention. The waitress tried to introduce each dish but obviously she can’t remember every dish. Also, she asked us if we had any allergies, we said no. Later on, she served a beef rib. I had to ask if it was beef or pork because she only remembered it was rib and failed to mention it is beef rib. I told her we didn’t eat beef( we are in a raw fish restaurant). The waitress said this was why she asked us at beginning. Food is not worth, service not good

A good raw bar with very fresh fish and seafood. I haven’t tasted anything not fresh, and they are all with great presentation and taste. The blue prawn was a little pricey which is $8 per one. Highly recommend the corn bread and lobster tartar.Portion is small and price is high. So don’t expect you can be full when stepping out.

Amazing addition to the Campbell dining scene (seriously -- how fun is it to have two Michelin star restaurant veterans in the South Bay)! Their menu is full of unique, fresh, vibrant seafood (raw and cooked) dishes unlike anything Ive ever tried, plus a great little wine, beer and sake list. Combine this with a beautiful ambience and terrific service, and you have a recipe for me definitely returning again and again.

Yes, its that good. The team around Trent is impeccable, the food is out of this world. Great looking, great tasting, awesome execution, and most of all FUN. In fact, for a place with this pedigree, its super relaxed, with everyone clearly loving what they do. And they do it well. This is not just the best addition to fine dining in the (whole!) Valley in a long time but also one that all current top spots need to look to for their combination of fine dining coupled with a fun and food vibe. Well be back often!

One of the best meals I have ever had! Ever plate was beautiful and tasted amazing. Great service! Definitely one of the best restaurants in the Bay Area.

Great place for dinner! Got the 5-course family style but it was much more than 5 dishes - closer to about 2-3 mini dishes per course so maybe closer to 12-15 dishes total. The seafood is really fresh and the flavors were unique and well thought out. The menu changes daily so we are looking forward to coming back another time to try. Would recommend for a nice date night or a dinner with a few friends. They also have outdoor seating. We walked around downtown afterward to digest all the food and the location is perfect for exploring downtown.

One Fish Raw Bar is such a remarkable restaurant. High-quality, fresh ingredients are the centerpiece of creative dishes, each married with contrasting tastes and textures. Consistently outstanding, both in terms of flavor, quality, and service in a relaxed environment. Weve had the 11 course tasting menu, ala carte items, you name it. Each and every dish thoughtfully prepared, artistically presented. Fabulous!

I really enjoyed One Fish Raw Bar! I love that there is nothing like it in the area. Very unique tasty flavors you wouldn’t think to put together. Chef Trent is a true artist. Fairly priced for the quality of the fish. I love the small plate style because you get to try multiple things on the menu. Service was great! The wine list is amazing! Location is prime! Nothing but good things to say about this new restaurant!

Recently, I visited this restaurant and let me tell you, it wasnt a walk in the park. The service? Pretty much non-existent. They did the bare minimum - plonked the dishes on our table, and that was about it. No refills, no check-ins, and definitely no warm vibes. We pretty much had to do everything ourselves, including flagging down the waiters just to place an order.And then came the shocker - the bill. Theyd sneaked in a hefty 20% service charge, right there in the middle of our order list. Plus, they still had the cheek to leave a space for a tip on the receipt. No heads up on the service charge has already been collected. No explanation, nothing!Heres where it gets even more ridiculous. Theyd calculated this service charge on the total amount after tax. Yep, they charged us service fee for the tax too! Thanks for serving us, my dear tax. When we calmly asked a waiter about this, he got all high and mighty, claiming its all by the book and required by California law.Not wanting to cause a scene, I let it go. But things took an even weirder turn when the waiter spotted me leaving a review on Google. Suddenly, Mr. High-and-Mighty was all about customer service and offered to remove the service fee. Smelled like review manipulation to me.Guess what happened next? Despite his promise, when I checked my credit card statement, there it was - the service charge, in all its glory. Looks like their charm offensive was just to stop me from leaving a bad review.So, watch out for this place. The staff seem ready to jump down your throat at the slightest provocation, and they dont mind playing fast and loose with the truth when it comes to their reviews. Make sure to double-check your bill and beware of their aggressive attitude. If you ask me, its just not worth the hassle.

The first dish of many to follow. Each serving was better than the last. The fish was not only the freshest possible, the way it was served was so incredibly unique and delicious.An incredible addition to to downtown vibe so deserving of Campbell.From the host, “Mel” to the GM “Josh” and all the servers in between, the total experience was one of the best dining experiences I had had in a long time.

This is an incredible restaurant with some of the best Crudo I’ve ever had in my life. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about their sake selections, and the food pairing was just blew my mind. All fantastic texture and flavors I feel like they went all over the world, and found every coastal region and found something to stick to that flavor profile with the Crudo. What a great time I look forward to coming back again.

My husband and I loved One Fish Raw Bar and are so excited to see something like this in Campbell!We went during opening weekend and everything ran smoothly! I love ceviche and raw fish so we ordered the sashimi style salmon, hamachi and tuna poke. My husband really enjoyed the beef tartare also. All the dishes were creatively served with their own special twist- for example one of the sashimi dishes was served in a coconut broth. We also had the chicken skewers and cornbread. The cornbread was super unique and topped with trout roe- def a standout for us! They also have fresh caviar which would be great if you’re looking to celebrate something!We will be back for sure and make One Fish part of our rotation of date night restaurants!

“I want to call attention once again to the growing practice of businesses inflicting price hikes on customers without looking like they’re raising prices. Pandemic and inflation increased the cost drastically. For most restaurants, first they recover their basic business expenses, then they set prices high enough to earn a fair profit. That’s capitalism. But that’s not what’s happening here.This is sheer dishonesty. It’s a company — one of many — trying to pull a fast one on customers by imposing a stealth price hike in the form of an added fee, rather than charging a list price that reflects actual business costs.Again, I don’t begrudge companies passing along their business costs to customers. That’s to be expected. What to my mind is a deceptive practice is passing along business costs in a manner that hides them from customers until the point of sale, when many people are already committed to the transaction.Sneaky surcharges also deny consumers the opportunity to effectively comparison shop. You can’t compare prices when you’re being denied essential information such as, you know, the actual price.”By David L., “Column: Should you pay an extra fee just for being a Californian? Pizza Hut thinks so”, Los Angeles Times, Dec. 7, 2021

We had a lovely date night here. Cozy patio, great service and perfectly made food. Each dish was unique from the next and delicious. Highly recommend the chowder, cornbread and black cod. We left feeling full but not stuffed, with a memorable culinary experience we look forward to trying again soon. Nice to have an option in the South Bay that isn’t the usual fare. Thank you, One Fish, for a great night!

Really excellent service and seafood selection that I was not expecting to have on the West coast (langoustine). Complex flavors and textures at every course, I feel lucky to be here before they receive their first Michelin star. What an amazing new asset to Campbell!

The food here is simply stunningly beautiful and delicious. Its about as good as a raw bar gets and their hot items are amazing as well! The sake selection is to die for. This place is pricey, but all in all, worth every penny. The service is amazing as well.

Stopped in for industry night and was fortunate enough to get a seat at the bar. The single seat I had had an izakaya vibe; busy, fun and professional. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and the service was excellent. The Slice of Heaven was literally heavenly. Tried to order another but it was 86’d. It’s that good. Hamachi was a tad too spicy with the chili oil but at that point I’m just cherry picking. Will absolutely be back. Loved the food, service, and vibe.

This place may look unassuming, but my wife and I were blown away by our experience here. Really great price for the quality of food and service.

To say this experience was good would be a massive understatement.My wife and I went for our second time last night (first time was right after their opening). We didnt have a reservation, but were seated at the bar and had one of the best meals weve had in the bay area.They accommodated a request for a tasting/omakase, even though we were a last minute walk in, that blew our socks off. Everything from the oysters to the multiple scallop dishes done in different ways ... Wow!!! Then the cornbread with fresh roe ... 😱!!!! Not to mention the sake pairing they put together for me at request.Josh (the manager) pulled out the stops with the service and his entire crew is following in the footsteps of his leadership. I felt like I was eating in his family kitchen ... a truly spectacular experience!Keep up the great work guys ... We will be back soon, I promise.

Horrible service (literally KICKED OUT) and mediocre food...Service: Our reservation was at 6:30 and were seated at 6:20 because the table was ready for us. We got a bottle of champagne and told the waitress that we plan to stay all night to catch up and asked when they close (we didnt want to delay closing). She said we could stay as long as we wanted. Fast forward to 8PM, they approached us and said theres a 2 hour dining limit (surprise!) and we needed to leave before 8:20 (note our reservation was 6:30 and they offered to seat us early). They need our table for a large party. Side note, were fine and respect dining durations. No one is walking around looking for confrontation... HOWEVER, this was not mentioned on the reservation confirmation e-mail nor at the beginning of our dinner. We (two light weights) drank a whole bottle of champagne (large format) and was asked to leave during night time while not ready to drive. We dont live nearby nor are we familiar with the surrounding area. Thankfully we found a nearby restaurant where we had dessert and sobered up before driving home.Food: To give context both my friend and I work in tech and our bucket list is the new and fancies in the bay. We can proudly say we have crossed off half of the Michelins in the bay. Now to the food. Its a small menu so we ordered half of all the dishes they offered. The caviar dip had too much cream cheese vs. caviar. At $50, we werent expecting the mother load, but with the first scoop the limited amount of caviar was mixed with overwhelming amount of cream cheese. Not to mention it was just Lays chips. The oysters were swimming in oyster wash, while fresh, it lost the oyster taste. The white fish was grilled to perfection (on par with the price), but lack seasoning. The lobster bisque soup had a lot of flavor but what I assume were lobster chunks had a weird sweet taste to it (not seafood sweetness more like candy sweetness yikes). The best dish of the light was actually the carrots. We didnt try any desserts because we were kicked out, so yeah.With so many better restaurants in the bay, youre better off skipping this one.

Amazing concept, especially for the town of Campbell. A restaurant like this helps upscale the DownTown. From peering in the windows to a fresh, modern and clean restaurant to walking inside and watching the fresh fish being put onto dishes and prepared and then to the great wine and saki selection, you’re in for a great experience.Not to mention I don’t eat or like fish. Went in with the family and was excited to see non fish meals that were delicious. BUT I was mandated by the fam bam to try one fish raw dish! TUNA it was! Small bites of course, but to my surprise it was different then fish I’ve tried before. There was no fishy smell or taste, it was clean, crisp and crunchy with a little bit of heat from the garnishes that came on top. It was sweet. More small bites I took. This particular plate has me wanting to adventure more.I will be back, but this time for my own Tuna plate. Great job OneFish!
