7 Best Japanese Restaurants near Apple Valley

“One of my favorite low key sushi spots. The workers are always friendly and welcoming upon arrival and quick to serve.
Justin the sushi chef is absolutely the best. He’s sweet and funny and we always sit at the bar to enjoy our sushi and convo with him.“

“Very good for happy hours.“

“My mind was scrambled eggs. Dusty from the road less traveled and a little worn for wear. I need to clean my boots. A sign. Tokyo, like the city, Glowing in the dusk of polluted desert skies along a busy street 2 hours from nowhere. Dining alone I walked to the bar, may I was in order. “Ichiban, tall.” The chef, Kazu, careful not to be seen in his quick study of customers, cleaning the skin from a salmon filet, sharp is his knife, asks if I’m ready. I order off the menu, otoro and uni sushi. “If you have it.” He does. It’s glorious. I ask for a plate of sashimi, his choice, “I like everything from tamago to saba” indicating my adventurous side despite my American heritage. Again he obliges. Textures, flavors, chile, wasabi, playing with my senses so delightful. Im floating now in the ether, buying a beer for the chef which he opens to a cheers, the universal language on a plate, a shared emotion, his love for craft apparent. I almost forgot my jacket by the time I cleared my plate. I never the question the price of the experience, as it is priceless. And this man, in this place, at this time in my life is worth every single penny. 2 thumbs up, a cheers and an applause. Thank you chef. Thank you. “In a little hilltop village, They gambled for my clothes, I bargained for salvation, And she gave me a lethal dose, I offered up my innocence, I got repaid with scorn, Come on she said will give ya, Shelter from the storm.” - Bob Dylan“

“indoor dining, Dim sum $5“

“Came with my daughters to eat lunch. We ordered a lot of food. It came out in a short amount of time. Service was really great. Food was fresh and well prepared. Even though they were short staffed, they went the extra mile to keep the great food coming, and to keep our drinks filled and plates cleared. This family owned restaurant is a must try, in my opinion. Would definitely reccomend.“

“Service is slow but food is good, food comes out quickly“

“I have been to so many sushi spots across the US. I'm a bit spoiled. To be honest, Yoshi is ok for locals. It couldn't stand on its on in the big city. The presentation was great. The rolls I had didn't hold up to its expectations. I left feeling a little let down. The rice was over sweetened and fish bland. For the price of the rolls, I don't see the value. I'm more critical in experience than in stars. If the service wasn't excellent, this place would fall apart. Every team member checked on us and was attentive to every customer, not calling for any of the patrons to need for anything. If I could give the team 10 stars , I would. I don't think I will visit again. This is a spot you have to try for yourself. I admit I am a sushi spot snob.“
