11 Best Japanese Restaurants in Alhambra

“Great food and great quality“

“Last minute pick for a business dinner, and my colleagues weren't disappointed. The rolls were good, but the sashimi was amazing. One colleague said the best she's ever had, and I'd place it among my top 3. Their fish is on point, so is their service. Spaced out tables let's you really soak in the atmosphere and enjoy your table's conversation. Visit this area pretty frequently and will definitely be back. Thank you!!“

“I highly recommend getting the premium package and ordering all the premium dishes. Everything is so fresh and tasty—definitely worth the upgrade. After that, you can order the regular sushi you like. They accept both credit cards and cash, and there’s a restroom available. It can get busy on weekends, so see if you can make a reservation.“

“Absolutely love Nabemono Shabu Shabu. We were finally able to enjoy a dine in experience, and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful space and great service. I highly recommend their sukiyaki and spicy creamy pork bone broth. Absolutely superb with their ramen, fresh veggies and sauces (ponzu and sesame). Can’t wait to go back to enjoy their cold noodles! Yum!“

“Wa is a lovely restaurant with excellent service and delicious sushi. My girlfriend and I come here pretty regularly and are always treated wonderfully by Hara, whose got an amazing memory. We come for date nights , work lunches, birthdays and especially when it’s raining and you need some udon. Reasonably priced, quaint ambience and now that the in n out fixed their parking, it’s easier to get to.“

“The food here is spicy but really tasty, especially the fried chicken. The people and the boss here is friendly.Find a good spot for my whole family because the noodle here is my children’s favorite. Recommend beef soup noodle and the tomato egg noodle for the kids. The noodle is handmaded and fresh!“

“If you are in the San Gabriel Valley area you must stop here if you want amazing Sashimi. Started with fatty Tuna that melted in my mouth so fresh delicious then moved on to giant Clams (Mirugai) it was sweet & crunchy I could have gone for second order not many sushi restaurants have (Mirugai)The fatty belly Salmon was buttery & the spicy Tuna hand roll sashimi was perfect coz I’m a spicy food addict it was just heavenly for me. Yum yum 🤤 ended with Kumamoto Oyster 🦪 it was so sweet like cotton candy in your mouth made me wanting more which I did order more. Lol 😂 The house hot Sake was good for a cold night paired so well with my amazing Sashimi! Great way to end my Friday night here! Thank you Chef!“

“the food never disappoints! and it just makes you want more.“

“I love that they give a lot of free stuff. I call this the one stop shop because we ate, talked and played games. They actually have pretty good games there. I brought 4 friends now and they all loved it! Maybe I should get a commission, hee hee!“

“I had a great experience at Yoshinoya, and I want to recognize Domingo for his outstanding customer service. From the moment I walked in, he greeted me with a friendly attitude and made me feel welcomed right away.
Domingo was very patient while taking my order, making sure everything was correct and even offering helpful suggestions. He was efficient and kept the line moving, but never made me feel rushed. You can tell he genuinely cares about providing great service.
My order came out quickly, and everything was fresh and well-prepared. The food was hot, flavorful, and exactly how I expected it to be.
What really stood out was Domingo’s professionalism and positive energy. He maintained a clean and organized front area, stayed attentive to customers, and handled everything with a great attitude—even during busy times.
Overall, excellent service and a great experience. Domingo truly made a difference, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“
