“Came in on a Friday night, found them through some positive google reviews and did not disappoint. The bowls and portion sizes are very generous for what you pay and most importantly food is fresh/delicious. The owners and staff are very friendly, very much looking forward to coming back weekly.

“It was so good worth it y’all!“

“Excellent service and food! Our family are regulars there and we joined them for lunch and had a delicious meal. Shout out to Abel and the entire lunch crew. You all were wonderful especially with our large group (including babies). The ramen, various sushi rolls, tempera, asparagus appetizer, miso soups and rice were all excellent and full of flavor! Highly recommend! Excited to go back. Oh and would love to see a vegetarian broth option for the ramen if ever possible! That would be an awesome addition. Thanks again!“

“Food is delicious 😋 and service is great 😊 we are going back again soon 😃“

“The service at little Tokyo exceeded all expectations. The staff was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also displayed a genuine passion for the culinary creations. They were attentive without being intrusive, and their recommendations were spot-on. Special dietary requests were accommodated with a smile, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. The pacing of the courses was perfect, allowing us to savor each moment without feeling rushed.“

“It couldve been because I was early, dining in and the broth didn't develop a bitter after taste from over cooking, but it's been awhile since I've had good ramen. The champion ramen had a good mixture of wet and dry flavors. Chashu + seaweed had a subtle fish dry taste vibe which is new. Noodles were chewy and not clumpy mouth feel. Broth and ground pork were rich but not overly. Overall taste + texture was superb and especially warming during the winter. Also the waiter Rick is such a homeboy and service is amazing.

Last time I liked having ramen was when I was running around in an orange jumper. Hope the guys and gals stay in business.“

“Food was amazing! Tried the chefs combo(turns out the chef I had was also the owner) to which every piece of sushi had a good portion of their choice on top. Miso soup was good and tried their double salmon roll special. Very flavorful and good portion on the inside and out. Place inside is small but doesnt feel cramped, servers and chef are hospitable and ambiance is calm. Great for a date or even just to relax. Definitely returning!

Edit: Have returned numerous times and never disappointed. Pictures included“

“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!“

“Read my post it's the best around“

“Excellent sushi! We found this place using Google reviews and were not expecting it to be so good. The fish itself was high quality and handled well, and it seems like they make their own wasabi and pickled ginger - both were super fresh and did not taste like they came pre-packaged. The service was helpful and welcoming. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, it may be some of the best sushi I have ever had.“

“Third time there tonight. Always delicious!“

“Chicken Katsu lunch special is really great value. Spicy katsu sauce is the right amount of spice and flavor, and the salad dressing makes the salad pretty good. Taiyaki was made fresh and tasted great. Wish there was an option to buy less Taiyaki though; 5 is a little too much for even two people.“

“The meat Quality is good, coming from someone that really doesn't know Wagu.we got the platinum tire, It was tasty, but we came looking for KOREANbbq, and they are not. Portions compared to a KBbq are minimal. You can order more and more, but it's bite size compared to what a KBBQ would give you. The side dishes are ok, little different then we're used to. I know it my fault for not reading more and noticing they are Japanese not Korean.
You can order 5 meats at a time, same with sides, and get 90 minutes to eat.
Meat Quality, good
Service, attentive
Price , ok for the quality but not the quantity.“

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

“The service and food was super good. One of the best Ayce sushi spots I’ve had. I would call myself a sushi connoisseur lol and I give it a 10/10. Fish quality was there and they even gave complimentary ice cream at the end. I recommend getting the premium menu if you truly enjoy sushi, it is worth the extra 10 dollars. The oyster is a must try!!“

“Had the opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal at a Naruto ramen–themed restaurant, Ramen Ichiraku, and it was such a fun experience 🍜✨

The moment you walk in, you can feel the Naruto anime vibe—from the wall art to the neon characters, it truly feels like stepping into the show. The atmosphere was cozy, lively, and perfect for anime lovers.

The food did not disappoint at all. The steam pork ramen was rich, flavorful, and had lots of seasoning and toppings bamboo shoot, red ginger, corn , mushroom etc. , and you can tell why this place is well known for its Naruto-style ramen. We also tried the squid tempura and vegetable tempura, which were surprisingly very affordable and absolutely delicious—crispy, light, and perfectly seasoned. Next time I want to tried shabu beef ramen and onigiri tuna mayonnaise ( 6 rice ball wrap with crispy seaweed)
With seaweed)

Everything we ordered tasted amazing, and the portions were satisfying. Great food, great vibe, and such a fun experience overall. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you love ramen, anime, or just good comfort food 🍜💛“

“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.“

“Not many places in LA offer hard to get fish from Japan. I was impressed with their unique fresh fish and the quality of sushi. I will definitely return for another great experience. I sat at the sushi bar and had great service from the chef.“

“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.“

“This cafe lives up to its name, Tasty food fast service. Quiet calm atmosphere. Good for small parties couples or eating alone/enjoying a snack and a book at the same time.

They have sake , bottled beers, canned sodas, iced teas and bobba teas. There is a loyalty program and various types of seating from both type to chair&table, couches and counter style (on the north wall side).“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent foods and excellent service every time“

“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.“

“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 their soup is delicious“

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

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

“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! 🍜“

“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.“

“Great experience!! Love the food!!“

“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.“

“Yummy food! Very nice atmosphere and friendly service ☺️ Got the broiled salmon bento box and the sashimi soba bowl! Large serving with all the accompanying side dishes. Our server was very sweet and gave us ice cream and a new dessert to try as well. Will come back again to try other menu items for sure“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“So good and service is very nice 👍🏻👍🏻“
