9 Best Japanese Restaurants near Calimesa

“Went for an early dinner and arrived before the dinner rush! Our server was absolutely incredible, very attentive and friendly! We did the all you can eat sushi which is the best way to go!! Overall an extremely wonderful experience and can’t wait to go back!“

“A restaurant we stopped by on the way from LA to the Grand Canyon! Maybe it's a local restaurant, but there are a lot of local customers. The store is clean and the raw fish is fresh, so it seems like a good place to stop by while traveling.“

“Was a little slow but could be a lack of chefs on shift during my visit. Had BBQ pork ramen and I would give it a 7/10 for American Ramen. When compared to Ramen in Japan it's a 3/10. Is it worth it? I'd say yes, I enjoyed it. Would eat again.

Dining area is small. 5 full booths, 2 half booths and 3 tables with chairs.“

“Without a doubt this is the best sushi I’ve had in the IE! The ingredients were utterly fresh and everything melted in our mouths!
They’ve got a great selection of beers, Sapporo, Kirin Ichiban, Orion and Asahi, and a dozen or so delicious rolls to choose from!
Our favorite was the yellow tale, it was the most simple roll we ordered, which let the flavor of the fish shine. But everything was excellent!
The staff is so friendly, patient, and genuinely nice. The whole experience from start to finish was perfect. I’m already looking forward to returning!“

“For starters, the staff is amazing. Not once did my drinks not get refilled. Staff is always on point. Sushi chef's are amazing. They deliver quality, tasty savory food. Highly recommend the Monkey Balls and Lemon Tree!“

“This Saturday I came to this location for my first time, and must I say it was an extraordinary experience. Out of all the sushi restaurants I’ve visited over countless years this one has by far, had the best customer service. There was a female server aswell as this younger boy and they were extremely kind and friendly. The food made by the shared chefs was absolutely delicious as well. Overall a wonderful experience.“

“This place is a-mazing! As we walked in we were immediately welcomed by friendly staff and were seated quickly. We ordered an array of unique and amazingly delicious sushi. This sushi chef has been here for over 30 years making delicious delicacies. You can immediately tell the love and care put into each dish. They are works of art. Wow. If I could, I would leave 10 stars. This is truly a hidden gem. They also gave us a complimentary dish, which was just a huge bonus. I highly recommend eating here and bringing your family. Also, the volcano roll was on point. Thank you again to the wonderful owners here. They are very kind people.“

“We just had dinner at this location. 1st off, the young guy cashier, who took our order was very friendly , good job! We ordered two katsus, one regular and a mini. Everything good in our food, except that there were chicken fat and we didn’t like it. Kinda gross flavor, sorry. My husband had to let them know, the manager i should say, coz she was wearing different color of shirt, she immediately fixed the issue with no problem, we appreciate that a lot, very friendly lady, thank you for that as well. Thank you for the love, especially today, we were feeling down coz tomorrow my baby boy would’ve turned 18 but unfortunately he is now in heaven. Once again, MAHALO! A hui hou kakou!“

“Great rolls, pleasant spacious restaurant, and polite staff. This is our favorite local sushi spot!“
