“Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options available

Dietary restrictions: GF items available, not sure about strict GF prep area

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped spot right in front. Ramp nearby. The door is not automatic but is made of glass, so staff can see if you need help.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Thankfully I remembered to take a picture 1st lol. Nevertheless im gone keep it simple the rating was too good to be false and my 1st bite didn't disappoint. I will definitely be returning to experience their other items on the menu. Notice I said experience and not 'try' it is truly that good.“

“It was so good worth it y’all!“

“I decided to order some Tonkatsu from Ginkgo Katsu, on a food delivery app based on the good reviews. Thankfully the reviews were on-point this time! The Katsu arrived in this kind of fancy, big box with the meal in different sections - the Tonkatsu, rice, cabbage salad, Katsu sauce; then separately was the curry sauce (I ordered extra), pickled veggies, dressing. Everything was delicious with generous portions. I would most definitely get a meal from Ginkgo Katsu, again and again“

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

“I would give this place a 4.5 rating.
The place was clean and the food was delicious. I had the salt & pepper shrimp and my husband had the kung pao. I have to admit that when we walked in, I had my doubts. The place was empty and there were boxes stacked up in the dining area. Most likely bz they just got supplies but it didn't do much for the atmosphere. However, the gentleman who served us was very nice and didn't overly bug us. He would keep an eye to see if we were low on drinks but was not hovering. This is something I always appreciate. He noticed I ate all the jalapeño peppers and even let me know I could request it spicier next time. The missing half has very little to do with them or their food.
They are hidden away in a tiny spot so not too easy to find but the worth the effort. I definitely plan to return.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This place is incredible. Everything I ordered was amazing; the fish/shellfish was fresh and cooked perfectly when applicable, the sauces were great, and the portions and pricing are beyond reasonable. I’ll definitely be coming here frequently.“

“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.“

“Read my post it's the best around“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fresh, fast, and served with a smile. And for $0.02, you even get advice! Really great value.“

“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.

“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.“

“Excellent foods and excellent service every time“

“Third time there tonight. Always delicious!“

“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.“

“Everything their soup is delicious“

“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.“

“my 1st time. food was off the hook good. I will be back again“

“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.“

“Came here for my post graduation dinner they were friendly and attentive though the front desk was a bit blunt when we were asking about if our table would be ready soon after waiting some time for our reservation. The food is good nothing out of the ordinary, I got the tonkotsu ramen it wasn't bad.“

“Can't believe I just discovered this place! Great Japanese food place! They have ramen, sushi, teriyaki bowls, etc. Got the Crunchy Dragon Roll and also tried the Fried Shrimp Spring Roll, which were great. Going back to try other delicious menu items. Love the atmosphere and the customer service was superb! They were friendly and welcoming. Great location too. Definitely recommend this place in Downtown Ontario!“

“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.“

“Omigod I told them I would write a review if I went home and liked what I ordered. Hands down 10s across the board! Everything was delicious! They even gave me a free onion soup! I will be back all the time I’m obsessed with hibachi and yours my friends was delicious! 🙌🏽🫶🏽“

“Most fresh and flavorful sushi I've had in my life! Their cooked dishes are very good too. I like the broiled cod and baked muscle. I have been coming here for almost 30 years. If you're seeking a top notch, authentic, and Japanese-owned restaurant, look no further.“

“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.“

“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. “

“Great experience!! Love the food!!“

“Delicious and affordable food 👍🏻And the staff is very friendly.“

“Today will be my third time I will be visiting here with friends and family
This place is b00mb, no discrimination, food so good , above all they are all nice and polite to their customers. I highly recommend this restaurant for your friends and family👌“

“Very clean, good service and delicious!!“

“This was our first time at Ichi. From the moment we walked in we were happy. The decor is great and inviting. The employees were nice and attentive. If you feel like ordering poké can be intimidating you can use the extra large tablets to order all the goodies you want and take all the time you need. The servings are generous and delicious. We will definitely be back for more.“

“This place was full when we came but one staff immediately cleaned a table for us... nice! Food was superb & so with the service. I love their Orange Sushi... it's was one of the best sushi I ever had! Love this place. We're sure to come back.“

“Best Sushi ever! Thank you for always having quality seafood and a wonderful dinning experience!“

“Everything is perfect. Best sushi I have had in any area of San Bernardino, LA, or Riverside county. Cooks and owner all appear to be Japanese, so it is almost certainly the real deal. They are all so Friendly. It is not a dine in restaurant. They do have a couple chair and tables but it is rather small. It is stricly take-out mostly. Small but effective menu. All the food. Absolutely all is a A+ in my book.“

“Food great but they need to train all the waitresses“

“My work moved near the area so was looking for some food spots. Came across this place. Man has food gotten expensive nowadays. Anyways it's still comparable to other places. I ordered the beef soft sofu and a salmon skin salad. I didn't eat the salad yet but I tried a piece of the salmon skin and it tasted good. As for the soft tofu its decent. I ordered medium spice but it's not spicy at all. Maybe I try spicy next time. This is a nice cozy spot. Not bad for lunch“

“This place is really clean
Minerva nervous is very attentive
Food was it actually delicious. The sauce wasn’t too overpowering. You could actually taste the meat.
Their sauce for the shrimp is really good ! They had some salad with the meal that was really refreshing. Everything was freshly made. Great job guys!“

“One of our favorites for family night or date night!“
