50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Chino Hills

“For over a decade, Ojiya has been my local go-to for Sushi/Sashimi. Sick of its long waiting-list and really want to try something different. This one turned out living up to its good review. Friendly waitress, fresh fish and reasonable price. Will absolutive come back.“

“I ordered carry-out but the atmosphere & vibe was so cute & authentic that I wanted to stay. Food was ready fast & service was excellent. I had to ask them a lot of questions on the phone & they were so nice. Food was very good, I loved the unagi sashimi & tofu salad!“

“Marugame Udon in Chino Hills is such a comforting spot; especially on a cold, rainy day. Their udon soups are absolutely delicious, warm, and full of flavor. You can really taste the freshness in every bowl.

As a first-time visitor though, I will say the ordering process was a little confusing. A clearer sign or simple explanation for newcomers would go a long way. The layout of the tables also feels a bit uninviting and could definitely be improved to make the dining experience more comfortable.

With that said, the staff truly made up for it. Everyone was warm, kind, and welcoming, which I genuinely appreciated. Overall, great food and great people; just a little room for improvement in the flow and layout. I’ll still be back for that amazing udon! 🍜“

“The staff here is all super friendly, the one time they gave me a wrong order the sushi chef sent over a free appetizer for my table and then my food was out quickly after. Regardless the staff is great, love the atmosphere, good music, it's a smaller restaurant yes but they have great quality in each dish and even when it's super busy you don't wait long for your order.“

“Had an amazing time at Heemo Sushi in Chino Hills! 🍣
We ordered the Sunkist, Mystery, and South rolls, plus some Udon—everything was super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Chef Sung-in & staffs were so kind and attentive 😊 They made us feel really welcome the whole time. We finished with their macaron ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. 🍨

Cozy vibe, generous portions, and great service all around.
Highly recommend if you’re craving delicious sushi in Chino Hills! 🌟“

“GOD TIER. Everyone keeps getting the ramen, BUT THE MAZESOBA IS WHERE IT’S AT!!! RAMEN FOOLS!! GET THE MAZESOBA!!

Super decadent, generous with the sauce (you can request a small scoop of rice for free afterwards to finish off the sauce), great noodle texture, amazing taste!! The first bite was heaven.

Looks small at first but that’s just because the bowl is big/I was struggling to finish halfway through.

AJ, our server, is super friendly, chill, and attentive! He brings amazing vibes.

10/10 will come again“

“Ordered the chicken and shrimp teriyaki bowl with a crunch roll on the side. Food was delicious, fresh and reasonably priced. Additionally, the owner was nice and the restaurant is super clean. Definitely worth a try. I wish I lived closer to visit more often. Thank you!“

“Very friendly service. This place gets really busy on a Friday and Saturday evening and the staff handles it wonderfully. Food is also very good, one of a few places that serve kizami wasabi. Our favorites include the beef udon, energy roll and the sashimi platter.

Drink specials always on point. Plenty of parking.“

“Ginkgo Katsu is a hidden gem for anyone craving crispy, flavorful Japanese katsu. The chicken and pork cutlets are perfectly fried — golden, crunchy on the outside, and tender inside. Portions are generous, especially with the bento boxes that come with rice, salad, and sides.“

“love this restaurant, even I am not a fan for raw food. I ordered beef and chicken teriyaki. It is good and delicious, and the service was excellent. Really want to recommend to friends.“

“Me encanto el lugar muy agradable el personal no se diga muy amables“

“Great place!! The food is amazing and is such a fun place to have a birthday dinner! I have been coming here for so long and it never disappoints. The service is amazing with the cooks giving a little show! The place is a bit small, but they make it work! I love the vibe inside and now how they seat outdoors since the place is so popular! 1000/10 recommend“

“Came in on a Monday and the vibe was very calm. Server was attentive and quick to bring out food. Food tastes great all the way down to the miso soup. I got the chirashi and my partner got the bento box and we enjoyed the quality of the fish. Will definitely be coming back when around the area again“

“I order takeout from here all the time because the food is very very very good. The service is always very excellent My only concern is where it's located. I usually get delivery because I don't like the location of where this is. If it wasn't located where it is I would definitely be going there quite often. But if you know anything about this location you know what I'm talking about. But I do keep them busy with delivery I'll tell you what.“

“You came back hungry and got the perfect welcome — a spread that looks both filling and delicious. 🍣🥗

On the long plate, you’ve got a mix of sushi varieties:
• A beef-topped gunkan (ground or marinated beef wrapped with seaweed).
• A spicy minced topping, likely spicy tuna or spicy salmon.
• Grilled eel (unagi) with that glossy sweet soy glaze.
• Shrimp nigiri with a touch of sauce.
• At the bottom, wrapped in plastic, looks like a musubi — rice with grilled meat or spam, perfect for later.

On the side, a fresh salad with crisp lettuce, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and dressing — and best part, it’s unlimited. 🥗✨

By the last picture, you’ve also got a dipping sauce ready and a sushi roll off to the side, so you’re set for a feast.

If you walked into this starving, that first bite must have hit the spot.“

“Big bowl of deliciousness! Authentic ramen we've been searching for in the I.E. We had the Naruto chashu ramen with medium spice and everything about it was perfect.
If you're a Naruto fan, this is your spot. Anime themed decor.“

“Truly authentic Japanese restaurant! Food, service are excellent!! The quality is very much like in Japan. I have spent a lot of time in Japan over the years. Hard to find a better Japan restaurant than this, especially being far away from L.A., Torrance, and Costa Mesa. It's definitely my favorite place to eat sushi and anything else!“

“Hidden gem! This Japanese restaurant is amazing.
You order at the register with great staff, they have pictures of the food so you know what you’re getting yourself into.
We ordered the veggie gyozas that were delicious, cream shrimp udon noodles that were amazing, and two sushi rolls that were surprisingly amazing.
The ambience is great and their music selection is top tier.
Definitely recommend the curry and sushi.“

“Wow this place surprised me so much, I went on my birthday it was a Thursday mid day and it was lonely. Not sure if that’s good or not but as we walked in, we were greeted and welcomed to a nice beautiful atmosphere.

Open concept, nice design. We were serviced beautifully everything was clean and squeaky clean floors.

Menu was okay to read, but we were able to order a few yummy rolls.
Ocean roll
Super salmon roll
California roll
Vegas roll

Wow the my favorite was the Vegas roll the combo with the crispy outer layer and the fresh fish on top with avocado with sauce oof it was delicious a must order option!
Everything was delicious and what made the difference was freshness.

I would definitely come here again or order out, but it seems a lot of people order out. Dining in was a great experience and more need to come and experience everything as well at least when they can.

Parking was a bit difficult, one level and easy wheelchair access.

You can get vegetarian options here or ask what they have :)

Overall my experience was pretty great and those who love sushi definitely need to try this place out.“

“Saw a picture of the Yakisoba Katsu sandwich and I had to have one! It was awesome! The Katsu was crispy and the meat tender. In short it was perfect! (not dry at all!) the yakisoba noodles was a nice addition as it absorbed the tonkatsu sauce and the cole slaw dressing! I also loved the brioche bread! A perfect touch. The sandwich was delicious and not like anything I have tasted before! This with a side of the curry fries! (YUM!) I'll definitely be back for more!“

“Read my post it's the best around“

“Located right next to Cal Poly college, Jinza Teriyaki is a great spot to eat after classes, my all time favorite is the Loco Moco bowl. The people are incredibly nice and especially early the place is a nice quite area to eat in. My only wish is that they would open earlier as someone who's out n about by 7am, but I understand not wanting to open at the crack of dawn.“

“Excellent foods and excellent service every time“

“Have been coming here since the 80s, always have Excellent sushi 🤟👊👊“

“Been craving teriyaki bowls lately. Decided to stop in and try this place out. The portion was good. Tastes was good. Price was competitive. Place is decent. Would recommend if you crave teriyaki chicken and are in the area. They have plenty of options to choose from.“

“Best Japanese restaurant in Yorba Linda. Our family has been coming here for 22 years. Food is consistently good. It is family owned quality place. I highly recommend it. It is better to make reservations ahead.“

“This was the best teppanyaki spot in the inland empire. I was blown away by the food and show. Alex was our chef and he was amazing. There was a special sirracha he made for us that was the best I have ever had. The resturant is very cute inside and my family had a blast.“

“The take-out box was convenient, if not finished in restaurant. The beef and chicken were great with the provided salad dressing, rather than the teriyaki sauce. It was placed as side as suggested by the host, especially that I was a diabetic. The water was refilled as needed, which was appreciated. I also asked for a second bowl of miso, which I enjoyed. Overall, it was great to have a meal at the Bento Box in Chino.“

“Everything here was sooo yummy! The sushi was super fresh, full of flavor, and honestly some of the best I’ve had in a while. You can tell they use really good ingredients, and the rolls were put together perfectly. The sea urchin was delicious!!

The service was amazing too, the owner was soooo sweet, friendly and funny! The absolute sweetest, highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Always fresh, consistently delicious, and served with a smile! The team at Amazing Poke is incredibly friendly, accommodating, and genuinely cares about your experience. Whether you’re customizing your bowl or trying one of their signature creations, everything is high quality and reasonably priced. One of my go-to spots in Chino—highly recommend! Their location is always clean too.“

“Had combo chicken/beef bowl and a dragon roll to go. Franks hot sauce and they’re in house teriyaki. Using flame broiler as standard Fugi is a 10 Flame Broiler an 8. Fugi is more $$ but, the food for me is truly next level. Rice is delicious chicken and beef is superb. The dragon roll nice and spicy and fresh tasting.“

“I've been coming here for about 8 months now. It's about 10 miles from my house but totally worth the drive. Last call is at midnight on the All You Can Eat, after pm there is a discount on Forgien beers and Soju. The house Sake is great, all the food is awesome along with the whole staff! Dalia ( the server ) is great and always makes sure we have everything we need and very friendly. The owner Eileen is often working here just as hard as her staff, and the chef is always on point with ever dish!“

“This is a really delicious place to eat on campus. I am really looking forward to the opening. The poke here is really good. I like the bowl option because I can pick one fish and as many toppings as I want. The toppings are unlimited. The boba is good too. I like the milk tea with boba and matcha option.Features: Since this is a college campus, it is required to wear a mask at all times except when eating. “

“Tried Tokido Ramen in Chino Hills and were pleasantly surprised by the flavor and service. We had calamari, fried soft shell crab, and panko shrimp to start—each one crispy and well-prepared. The Tonkotsu ramen with garlic oil was rich and satisfying, and the version with black garlic oil added a beautifully smoky depth. We added extra corn for a little sweetness and it balanced the broth perfectly. Boba milk tea and lychee tea with boba rounded out the meal.

The server was attentive and helpful, and despite the cozy space (only six tables), the food came out hot and flavorful. This spot may be small, but the taste is big. We’ll definitely be back.
