“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.“

“It was so good worth it y’all!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Third time there tonight. Always delicious!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Read my post it's the best around“

“Excellent foods and excellent service every time“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything their soup is delicious“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great experience!! Love the food!!“

“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. “

“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.“

“Poke was pretty good, could've used more sauce though. But the portions are really good compared to what we get where we live and the prices are even better. The medium is even bigger than the large we usually order in Elk Groven and $5 cheaper. We ordered on the kiosk and didnt realize we could just walk up to the counter and order there which would have been better for us since it was our first time there.“

“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! 🙌🏽🫶🏽“

“Nice place, pretty busy by locals. The food was good but not great, I had the beef bowl. The rice and meat were a little dry in texture. But the flavors were good! Maybe I went during the lunch rush.. they have lots of options so I’ll for sure be trying other items.“

“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👌“

“We always have a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The service is truly excellent, friendly, attentive, and thoughtful from start to finish. What stood out the most was how kind they were with our baby, Mila. Highly recommended for families!“

“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.“

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

“This place is a treasure. Even the avocado roll was amazing.

A spider roll was the roll that made me become a sushi enthusiast, and for years I've searched to find an equal to that sublime roll. This did it, flavors and textures that were a perfect balance in every bite.
