SOHO Modern Japanese

This is a great spot. I came here for brunch on a Wednesday. I made a reservation but the spot was pretty empty. To eat I got the chicken and croffle toast and it was amazing. The toast is light and airy and the chicken is perfectly fried. I enjoyed every bite. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The service was also great. This is a great pick if you’re in Fremont.

Just to start - we thought the food was incredible! Great Premium tasting menu but I certainly have a few things I'd like to point out that made my birthday dinner which my girlfriend planned very unfortunate .. First - when we ordered a hot sake, instead of letting us know that the particular one was almost empty, we were served just two shots of it at a discounted rate instead of the option to make another choice (we ended up buying a whole other bottle of sake) it would have been nice to know the situation and have a change of decision before being served it and having no decision if we wanted it at the discount or not. Second - According to the promotion, parties of 3 or less are supposed to have a different $108 pricing - when this was mentioned our waiter told us that the instagram was a mistake and we had to pay the normal rate of $148. At the time we did not want to make a big fuss but definitely feel that the promotion should be removed from social media since it wasn't honored. We ate there the night of April 3.

We had a wonderful brunch date at SOHO Modern Japanese in Fremont and absolutely loved everything we ordered. We tried the Short Rib Poutine, Chicken Croffle Toast, Puff Pastry Corn Chowder, and Side Mochi Pancake, and every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared. The flavors were unique and comforting at the same time, and you can really tell that a lot of thought went into each dish. I also had the Mango Ginger mocktail, which was refreshing and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, just right. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, perfect for a brunch date. The service was also excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, perfect for a brunch date. We truly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back to try more from their menu. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a modern Japanese brunch spot in Fremont!

🌹 We spent Valentine’s Day here and it was honestly perfect. They only serve a fixed tasting menu, and you can tell how much care goes into it. Every course was beautiful, fresh, and just insanely delicious. The nigiri and uni were standout favorites, and the whole meal flowed so well from start to finish. Nothing felt rushed — just a relaxed, intimate vibe that made the night feel really special. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and the perfect place to celebrate with my wife. We’ll definitely be back. 🌹

This review is focused on their brunch menu only, and it’s hands down one of the prettiest and tastiest brunch spots in the area. The space is beautiful and relaxed—perfect for catching up with friends. Presentation is stunning, but more importantly, the food actually delivers. This is not one of those “looks good but tastes average” brunch places. Every time I’m in Fremont and have the time, I make a point to come here. Must-order items are the Ube Mochi Pancakes and Matcha Waffle—and a special note on the fruit served alongside them: they’re incredibly fresh and high quality. You can genuinely taste that the fruit is freshly sourced, not something that’s been sitting in a fridge for days, which makes a big difference. If you’re a mushroom lover like me, don’t skip the Wild Mushroom Truffle—so flavorful and satisfying. The Brussels Sprouts are also a standout: crispy, well-seasoned, and surprisingly addictive. For drinks, I really enjoy the Lavender Latte and Rose Latte. Pricing is very reasonable. Most of the time, it’s around $35 per person, and with ~$50 you’ll be very full. Great value for both quality and experience. Highly recommend for a beautiful, delicious, and genu
