We dined at the Yuki’s last night. We ordered 3 items combinations which comes with salads miso soup 12 pieces of Sashimi, calamari steak, grilled saba, with cold noodles, cabbage as side. Sashimi is very very fresh. Udon is also good. However Sushi was not available last night. They don’t have sushi every day, so call ahead before you go. (Sushi chef only comes in Friday night & Sat. All day. )Thanks

I really enjoyed yukis. Its a wonderful little neighborhood joint with good quality food. They only serve sushi on Friday and Saturday, but sashimi is available all the time. The quality of the fish was good, the presentation was nice, the dishes were quality (no disposables), and the waitress was genuinely charming. Is it really high end Japanese? No, but its the high end of local sushi joints.

This place is a hidden gem! Authentic Japanese food with good quality fish. The specials are amazing. My favorite is the hamachi kama. Their other dishes are very good too (smoked salmon, saba, etc). Not your typical Americanized sushi rolls with cream cheese and plastered with sauce. This place is pricey but so worth the occasional splurge. Note: They do not have a website. The website you find online was made by a random person not affiliated with the restaurant many years ago. So, it is very outdated.

The salad was fresh and crunchy with a good dressing and pretty carrot. The miso soup has thin noodles in it! Pretty atmosphere. As of this date, sushi is only offered on Friday and Saturday.

Like these days Its roughly Japanese compared to the usual restaurants that make. This restaurant was really delicious and special. The sashimi was so fresh though kitchen food is really good 👍. It was authentic Japanese food. sake chazuki was delicious 😋

Ive been to Japan many times. And Yuki is my favorite place in Fremont when I crave for authentic Japanese cuisine.

Best sushi I have had for a really reasonable price. The rice was soft and fresh. The portions were decently large. They didnt skimp on the fish. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and the New York roll. Best smoked salmon and cream cheese roll. Their wasabi tasted fresh and strong.I cant say much to their service as I ordered out, but its a small place that looks comfortable.I look forward to trying out more of their sushi.

I looked up Yuki in TA as a recommended Japanese restaurant. When arriving I was a bit concerned, as the entrance looked shabby and the restaurant itself very simple. But man, the food we ordered was outstanding, tastes like in Tokyo and always served with a smile. Japanese Tea is being constantly refilled free of charge. I had Salmon Teriyaki and it was not only extremely tasty, but also a huge portion I could barely finish up. Altogether a great deal, as we paid only 38$ for two persons.

Food came out fast, but tasted very bland. And they only have sashimi, and not sushi on the weekdays. Its bizzare that a Japanese restaurant wouldnt have sushi everyday. It should be posted on the door. We only stayed because we were seated and didnt want to be rude. Also took 15 minutes to get water. I asked a waitress a question and she tucked her head down and ignored me. I wouldnt go back.

I had been here so many years and so many times. The food is good and the price is ok. After old owner, waiters, and waitresses left and no longer work there except one waitress remaining she is good waitress. Not long ago they hired a new waitress she is so mean and rude and unhappy person. Whenever the time for it to be closed and customer still eating at their table she is making loud noise, start banding the table, vacuum, pushing customer to get out. I dont think she is a right person for the job. I think that is one of the reason theyre been losen customer a lot not because their food.

Just ordered 2 dinners to go and it took way too long. From the time of the call to actually receiving the food was 45 minutes! They give priority to seated guests and not take out orders. Felt like they did not start the order until I got there and paid for it. So I was just standing there for 25 minutes until it was done. And they forgot to put the sauce on the side, so it took another 5 minutes to get that. Not recommended unless you have oodles of time to waste.

Made reservation for the dinner, but still waited in the door for 10+ minutes, not because its crowded ( I can see the seats were reserved). After we finally set in the table, we had another 20+ minutes wait for the order, no body seems care about us, so we left. I felt the restaurant was treating us as the beggars to beg their food. Eating in a restaurant suppose to be a happy time, but instead being treated badly, and suffered a lot of disappointments.

Yukis is a very small sushi restaurant, and also quite popular. There is a long wait to get a table, and an additional wait to get your sushi. However, both the freshness and the quality of the sushi is excellent, I have never had better sushi anywhere else. Their non-sushi items are also quite delicious, including ramen and baked entrees. Our server was also quite friendly and very helpful in explaining what different unfamiliar items were. I would definitely want to eat here again, but Id have to reserve some extra time for the wait.

Theyve been around forever and I wouldnt be surprised if its the oldest sushi restaurant in Fremont. You get what you pay for here. Food is fresh and the service is great.

Visited on a weekday dinner time. There was no sushi chef at the restaurant so no sushi was available to order. What kind of Japanese restaurant has no sushi or nigiri to order?We walked out after learning of this.

Came in for a quick lunch, since I was having stomach issues and wanted some plain rice. Also ended up ordering some miso soup and some vegetarian rolls. Service was fairly quick, but the wait staff was contrary; one was friendly, the other one was pushy and impatient; guess which one served me. First time in a while Ive felt rushed and unwelcome.

One of the best places to go to for fresh anything really :) I love going here for their sushi, combinations, and udon!Theyre only open from Tuesday to Saturday, they close Monday and Sunday. I would always recommend getting their sushi because its really fresh! The restaurant is authentic japanese and they really care about the quality of their fish which is why the food here is delicious.Some of my favorite dishes are:Nabeyaki Udon: The flavor of their broth is amazing. Its sweet but savory and there is just a ton of flavor. The Udon size is small but they pack it with a lot of stuff! The noodles were nice and chewy and I also like the tempura that comes with it because I think they make really good tempura!Grilled Mackerel/Saba: They make really tasty fish. They grill and smoke the fish so you can taste that smoky flavor which makes their fish so delicious.Ginger Beef: This is one of my favorite dishes to get in the dinner or lunch combinations. The beef is really tender and full of flavor. The beef is thinly sliced and sits on top of a sizzling platter!Sushi: I cant remember all the different sushi i got here but I remember them being really good and fresh.They always have daily specials on the white board near the sushi bar so look out of those because there always some really good things on there! The wait can get pretty long because there isnt too many seating but its cute small restaurant.

Yuki has been around since more than 25 years ago, and the food has always been tasty and fresh. One of my favorite authentic Japanese restaurant in the Bay Area.

My friends and I come here often as it is close by to us. The service is great, staff is friendly and food is good. The place is priced just right. Overall, great value, I recommend the Katsu Curry when they have it, large portion at a great price.

Yuki is one of only a couple of authentic, Japanese-Japanese restaurants in Fremont. It often gets low marks on certain review sites because people go in expecting Crazy Super Gonzo Rolls and they throw a fit when they dont get them. Well, too bad. Its not that kind of place. Here you will find Japanese home-cooking-style dishes (nabe, croquettes, etc.), basic but good sushi (nigiri and maki), basic but good sashimi, a very short selection of California-style sushi rolls, and a handful of unfussy fusion items because, as the Japanese friend who introduced it to us said, the chef likes to experiment. Their Cali-style items are actually pretty good; they smoke their own salmon, as I recall, so the smoked salmon and cream cheese roll is unreasonably delicious. Their mackerel is excellent and its the first place I ever really liked it. Ramen is not a specialty, though; I would get that somewhere else.Service can be slow. Prices are fair; combination meals are pretty large.Adjust your expectations and you will have the best Japanese eating experience in Fremont. If all you want is multi-colored rolls with lots of sauces, though--and I admit those can be tasty--please go somewhere else.

Seated immediately. Courteous staff. Clean restrooms. Reasonably priced. No standout dishes that I tried, but my companion says the spider roll is top notch.

Located in a strip mall and small in size but this place has staying power. They serve traditional style versus fusion. Great quality at a good price. It gets crowded fast due to its small size but its worth the wait.

Im certainly not an expert on Japanese food, but this place definitely smacks of authenticism, and the tamagoyaki (which I had never had before) was really excellent. Definitely met my jiro dreams of sushi induced expectations of how good sushi can be. also, for business travelers, the only one of five sushi places in the Fremont area I tried who actually takes american express.

Went for sushi on a whim, was given a menu and seated, took a few minutes, was given tea and then when I ordered sushi was told they dont serve sushi. But its in the lunch menu over half the right page and then was told only on certain days and left as they didnt seem want to serve sushi at said eatery.
