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

“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!“

“It was so good worth it y’all!“

“kenny and Ken 👍The food was very delicious and the service was great. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing. I really enjoyed my meal here and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend! 😊“

“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.“

“We were in town for the weekend and wanted a light, sushi lunch. I always feel like I'm gambling a bit when I go somewhere based on a quick maps search, but this place is delightful. We enjoyed our rolls and chicken fried rice and we're sad we were traveling and couldn't take it with us. I wish I took more pictures, but I only thought to leave a review at the end of our meal when our server surprised us with these adorable oranges. What a treat! Definitely give them a try!“

“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.“

“It’s a really cute and homey atmosphere. Imma take my friends here someday. They got a few good ramens and they got vegan options as well. They got good dessert options too. Some steamed custard buns that look like little piggies. Come give it a try and give them some business.“

“Hands down one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had locally. The fish was incredibly fresh and clearly high quality, and the pricing felt like excellent value for what you’re getting.

We had the toro, A5 wagyu, shima aji, the Oyishi roll, and the BG salmon roll—every single bite was outstanding. You can really tell the care and skill that goes into the food.

On top of that, the chef was personable, welcoming, and genuinely nice, which made the whole experience even better. This is officially my new favorite sushi spot and has earned a permanent place in my go-to rotation. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Read my post it's the best around“

“Service is fast, food is good, price is fair“

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

“Very authentic in atmosphere, food, and service. I got the chirashi bowl and it was absolutely delicious. Fresh. Excellent texture. I was such a huge fan of their sushi rice as well! They have lunch specials that I clue miso soup and salad. Highly recommend coming here for lunch. Your whole party must be there to be seated and it gets busy (always a good sign).“

“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.“

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

“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).“

“This was extra special day Mama time sweet day! because it was our mama time while the kids were in school—a chance to slow down, catch up with a friend, and enjoy a peaceful meal together. We loved this cute little corner we discovered in Walnut. The space is cozy, clean, and thoughtfully arranged—perfect for relaxing and chatting without feeling rushed.

The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and polite. The hospitality really stood out and made us feel at home.
Delicious small bite & beautifully prepared dish! We tried the mini yubu sushi, which were fun, flavorful, and perfectly portioned for sharing.
The donburi bowl with seared salmon was so good—fresh, satisfying, and beautifully balanced. We also enjoyed the sweet shrimp & tobiko combination, which tasted very fresh and light.

Everything felt small enough to sample more, yet still filling and satisfying. Wanted to tried 9 yubu sushi. Owner said stop tried 4!! Too much food for beautiful ladies to handle LoL 😆 it is true. Honestly, we wanted to try even more items, but our stomachs were already full!

Looking Forward to Trying More Next Time😋

There are so many items on the menu we’re excited to come back for—especially the specialized sushi selections and the Chef’s Combo Rice Bowl. This is definitely a place worth returning to when you want thoughtful food, a calm atmosphere, and friendly service.

Such a lovely spot for a casual meet-up, a quiet lunch, or foodie exploring. Just a recommendation bigger tables for people who want to order more food and for bigger group size. The only suggestion I would appreciate so I can bring more friends over. Next time I’ll try different drinks. I thought mine was a little bit sweet. With mango and matcha tea.
Highly recommend — we will absolutely be back!“

“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.“

“This is hands down the best sushi spot in town. The food is exceptional, and the service is just as impressive.
What really stood out to me was how attentive the staff were. They were constantly sweeping, wiping tables, refilling soy sauce, and making sure every customer was taken care of.
Overall, such a great experience. I definitely recommend the all you can eat option. It comes in reasonable portions so you can try a little bit of everything.“

“Excellent foods and excellent service every time“

“I was looking for a place nearby on my lunch break - and was craving teriyaki. Price is decent for portion. I got a chicken and beef teriyaki bowl, and the food was very savory. I just wish they added a scoop of veggies to make it a more balanced meal. But still tasty.“

“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“

“This place doesn’t try to be trendy, which is honestly why I like it. The fish tastes fresh every time and the cuts are generous compared to a lot of other spots nearby. Service is straightforward and quick, and the menu leans more classic than experimental. If you’re expecting over-the-top fusion rolls this isn’t it, but if you want clean, reliable sushi, this hits.“

“Upscale sushi, pure fresh fish. The art of this place in cuisine is impeccable. You won’t find a better sushi restaurant if you are looking for quality sushi 🍣. Very authentic. We love Kens ♥️🙏🏼“

“Like many sushi restaurants this is one is quiet small, gets vey busy on weekends but that's because the sushi rolls, yaki and ramen are so yummy. I have to admit, the yaki could use more flavor but the sushi rolls are my favorite good portions and they give you a 10% discount if you pay in cash“

“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.“

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

“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 👍🏻👍🏻“

“I absolutely love this place. I’ve been going here for years and the quality has never once dropped. The mango habanero salsa is a must try and everyone is very friendly and welcoming. If you haven’t tried amazing poke you’re missing out!!“

“Stopped by with a party of 13 for late lunch on our way home from the mountains. The Tonkatsu ramen is quite good with a creamy broth. The noodles are good, the pork belly is a bit bland and dry. The yellowtail collar is over cooked and dry. The Sashimi salad is average.“

“Had dinner at Habachihana Japanese Grill and it was honestly a great experience. The food was amazing everything came out fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You can tell they really care about the quality.

Also want to give a big shout out to Claryssa for the awesome service. She was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. Service like that really makes the place stand out.

Definitely recommend checking this spot out if you’re in Chino Hills. I’ll for sure be coming back. 🍱🔥“

“When I went inside here I was amazed of how authentic this restaurant is, it almost feels like you’re in Japan! Well anyways, You don’t have to wait that long . The food is great! I love how they serve the sushi in those plates(Note: the food is authentic and not Americanized and the staff here is nice!) This place is recommended for kids and stuff and they also serve free samples, like strawberry sake and etc. You should come here if you’re looking for an authentic non-Americanized Japanese restaurant. (Edit: why is this place 4.2 stars it deserves ether 5 stars)“

“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! 🙌🏽🫶🏽“

“I recently tried Bengee Sushi and was honestly impressed by both the presentation and freshness of the food. The sashimi set came beautifully arranged in a wooden box with a great variety of seafood. The atmosphere was casual but clean and modern, making it a nice spot for both a relaxed dinner and a small gathering with friends. Service was friendly and the food came out looking exactly like something you’d want to photograph before eating. If you enjoy fresh sashimi with beautiful presentation and a good variety of seafood, Bengee Sushi is definitely worth trying.“

“I’ve driven past this place hundreds of times and never stopped in—but that changed after a friend kept talking about how good the teriyaki chicken bowl is. My wife and I finally decided to give it a try… and wow, we’re glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious! Safe to say we’ll be back again soon. Highly recommend giving this place a shot!“

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

“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👌“

“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.“

“Very clean, good service and delicious!!“
