50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Diamond Bar

“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).“

“Everyone this place is a hidden gem. Ordered a bento box and the portions are very large, has so many different sides, all tastes good and the price is reasonable. Food is super fresh not premade, and the pork katsu w cheese is delicious. Recommend to dine in cuz it tastes the best when it’s hot. I’ll definitely try other dishes next time!“

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

“Read my post it's the best around“

“Went to Wabi Sabi with a friend on a weekday night, and honestly, the plaza felt really quiet and almost deserted. From the outside, it was also hard to tell if the restaurant was even open because the inside looked so dark.

I’ll admit, I almost suggested leaving after seeing some less-than-great reviews on Yelp. But since my friend picked the restaurant, we decided to give it a try. Turns out, we were actually the only customers there that night!

We ordered:

Red Tonkatsu Ramen
Miso Tonkatsu Ramen

Both ramen were actually tastes okay, the broth was flavorful, although I found it a little on the oily side, so I didn’t end up drinking much of the soup. Red Tonkatsu got spicy kick but not that spicy as others mentioned.

One thing I noticed was that the pork wasn’t the traditional Japanese chashu. Instead, they use a pan-fried pork belly, which is still as tasty.

The service was attentive and friendly, and since the restaurant was so quiet, we had a very peaceful dinner and plenty of time to catch up.

More like 3.5 stars but I rounded up to 4. Not bad but not the best ramen in SGV area.“

“Really fresh and tasty hand rolls! The quality of the fish and rice are good. The place itself is small and meant more for take out. There is outdoor seating in the outside area as well as some limited seats inside but I'd recommend taking it to go. The have the seaweed packaged in a way that it stays dry during while you transport it. Definitely a great place for a quick and healthy lunch. Use the website to pre-order and avoid lines/waiting. Their presentation is also fantastic and a nice touch.“

“Delicious 😋 Best chicken bowl I've ever had!! The sauces they have are perfection and the salad surprised me!! They have milk tea bobas and freshly squeezed lemonade its a great place to grab for lunch or dinner and the staff is awesome very kind and helpful 😊“

“I've been coming here for over 10 years and absolutely love this spot. Hideo has been making sushi ever since I've been going here and he is excellent. Service is always good, the place is a little small, but always busy. They have the best muscles, best albacore capaccio and rolls. Nice vibe in there. I highly recommend as this is my favorite sushi spot in the SGV.“

“Was visiting from out of town and decided to pick up food for the family. The service was great and we were able to talk to who I presume was the owner, and he was friendly and patient with us. The food does take time to get but only because everything is made fresh to order. I much rather wait and get freshly prepared food. The food it self was delicious. Very generous portions. I would highly recommend this place. Great environment with amazing food. If you looking for some great teriyaki and delicious Mexican food then come check this place out. Food worth the price. I am definitely coming back and looking forward to enjoying their food again.“

“Friendly and amazing owners. Food is wonderful“

“Excellent foods and excellent service every time“

“It was so good worth it y’all!“

“First time here. Service was excellent! William helped us decide on our order and was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The food is delicious and the presentation was perfect. We had the spicy miso ramen with gyozas and salmon teriyaki with tempura. The gyozas and tempura were perfectly crispy. My husband loved the ramen and he could make it as spicy as he wanted. The miso soup is one of the best I've had. The salmon was excellent and all the sauces were delicious. We will definitely be back!“

“Came in with zero expectations, just wanted to destroy a mountain of food. Surprisingly solid meat quality and selection. Most of the sides were good too, just not the corn & cheese and the golden oyster roll. Those missed.

Service was fine at first, then a wave of people hit and everything slowed down hard. Only two people running the host stand and dining area, so that tracks.

Also found out you can get scoops of ice cream even though it’s not on the menu. Only knew because we saw the table next to us get some. Hidden little win.

Better than expected for a random “feed me” mission.“

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

“I have never been to a restaurant like this.
The food is amazing! Each plate I order always has flavor, the best flavor I've tasted! I swear this place has exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend to come here. Try monkey brain sushi 🍣!“

“I was literally surprised that the place was empty when we went! It was my first time there, and I’m so glad we decided to give it a try. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious! Everything was great, and I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend! ❤“

“Amazing food and amazing customer service!! I shared it on all my social media’s so all my friends would know about this place and be able to have their own experience at home. My whole family loved it and enjoyed it. Definitely recommend this place!“

“Best 🍱 sushi, best service, #Lynnandherfathertraditionenoughsaid. Cubi“

“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.“

“Good food and good service“

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

“Amazing Menu. The food melts in your mouth. Every bite I took was WOW! I had the Peruvian Ceviche, Parmesan scallops, tiger scallops and the Bluefin Tuna antiucho was so good I order 2 more orders of it. YUM. As a Peruvian a myself I totally recommend Akashiro. Will definitely come back and bring friends and family with me. Viva el Peru! 🇵🇪“

“A favorite restaurant for our friends and family. Food is always consistently good and the atmosphere is fun!!!“

“My go-to has always been the Saikoro Mazesoba and I like how much meat was given. The sauce is thick but it's not too intense to the point that it becomes too much, which is good for me. The vegetables added texture to every bite and it does well to prevent us from getting tired from eating the same texture and taste. I like the condiment choices they provide on the side as well. I feel like the price is fair and the atmosphere in this restaurant is pretty good. My only criticism is that the meat is a little dry. I gave it a 4/5 stars but on a 10-rating scale I would give it an 8.5“

“Everything their soup is delicious“

“It's pricey but that's because the quality is that good. The food was amazing and the chef was a real good host(they cook in front of you). He was very friendly and entertaining even cracking jokes. And on top of that he had an animatronic ratatouille in his hat! So the kids were entertained too. Went for a birthday and the service and overall experience was above and beyond“

“The sushi and sashimi at this restaurant are incredibly fresh. The presentation and tableware are thoughtfully chosen and beautifully done, which I really appreciate. The combo meals are a great value as well. If you live near Chino, I highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“Sakura Tokyo is genuinely one of my favorite sushi restaurants, and I can’t recommend this place enough! The food is always amazing, fresh, and consistently delicious, but what really makes this place special is the people.

They truly care about their customers. They remember you, make you feel welcome every time you come in, and always treat everyone with so much kindness and respect. That kind of customer service is rare, and it’s one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back.

You can tell they take pride in both their food and the way they treat people. I’ve had nothing but great experiences here, and they’ve always been so good to me. In my opinion, this is the best sushi place around. Amazing food, amazing people, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like a valued customer every single time.

If you’re looking for great sushi in West Covina, definitely give Sakura Tokyo a try. They deserve all the support! 🍣❤“

“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.“

“They have a fun Naruto theme with some Dragonball Z mixed in. They have a huge screen that spans length of the sushi bar with theme images appearing.

The service is friendly, attentive for drink refills, and helpful with all other needs.

The chashu in the ramen was delicious. The broth was pretty good, but some of the toppings could have been prepared better. Nevertheless, it was tasty. I also tried a hand roll that was yummy. The fried chicken was pretty good, but it needs a better dipping sauce to accompany it.

If you want to have a good laugh, tell your friends to try and order miso soup with their bowl of ramen.“

“This place is good! Came in randomly and I left satisfied. The prices here are very reasonable. Great value. I didn't get sesame seeds, don't know if it's an option, but overall the food was still good. I kinda wish they charged a little more and gave more proteins in their meals. I had the chicken and beef combo. Their teriyaki sauce is goof and what you expect it to be. The char is nice on the chicken and the beef was tender. I will be back and I guess I'll ask if extra meat is a thing? Oh and I'll ask for sesame seeds and green onions.“

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

“A top ramen spot in Orange County located minutes from Downtown Fullerton. Go to dish is the Tonkotsu Ramen. Love the consistency of the noodles and the rich flavored broth. Service is always exceptional with a welcoming atmosphere. I drive past many ramen spots just to come here. That alone should say a lot!“

“Went to Midoh in Rowland Heights today after finding out Umi Buffet was closed due to a power outage. Since it was already in my bookmarks, I decided to give it a try. Ordered the tonkatsu loin, hamburg steak spicy curry rice, karaage, and takoyaki. Everything was delicious and extremely well‑flavored. A solid spot for comforting Japanese dishes.“

“I can't recommend this Ramen spot enough. Everything is so fresh and delicious. The service is very friendly and fast. They can get busy at times and you'll experience a short wait if it's only 2 people, if you're going to have a larger party, I highly recommend making reservations as this is a small restaurant.“

“I went here about 10+ years ago. We didn't like it at all. Recently I went with a buddy. It was fantastic. Rolls are great. Large cuts of sushi. Great quality. I've already returned for another visit. New favorite sushi place“

“Came here randomly on a Monday and was back by Friday to have more of their delicious sushi tacos. I tried both the tuna and the salmon taco...both were delicious and full of flavor! So delicious I had to come back 4 days later. The portion and size is just right. We also tried one of their other rolls and also their hibachi style spicy chicken with fried rice special that also come with a miso soup and a salad. We were all satisfied and I am currently craving it again 😋“

“Great food I would recommend“

“This may be one of the best sushi deals in Southern California. I know that once the word is out that it’ll be harder to get in, but they deserve the recognition.“

“The best-quality sushi I’ve had. Honestly, it’s on par with Nobu. I’ve had sushi at Nobu that wasn’t even that great, but this place is consistently incredible. The sashimi literally melts in your mouth.“

“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.“

“Shabu Shabu good prices with great quality meat. My kids and I loved the ribeye, beef belly, and pork belly the most. All of the meat were good but these three were the table fav. Their appetizers were amazing as well. The fried squid legs, shrimp eggrolls, the blue crab, and the potato wrapped shrimp were sooo sosososososo good. you can tell a restaurant knows what they're doing when the fried appetizers are on point. I got one regular house soup and I got the mala for myself. They were bot so delicous. Also, the prices were very 2016 even in this infaltion. A must try. we went to chicha san chen right after. it was only 3 minutes away. Love this spot on the edge of rowland heights!“

“Great customer service, fresh food and a local spot!“

“this place is bomb.!! and the service is incredible..“

“The Kobe stakes is so testy . Assassins was as“

“Amazing food, quick service, and such a great atmosphere! Everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff were friendly and efficient. I really enjoyed the overall vibe of the restaurant as well—it’s a great place to enjoy sushi with friends and family. Definitely highly recommended! 🍣🔥“

“Ultramen is easily one of my top 3 go-to spots for Japanese food. I usually get their rolls and Japanese ramen, and honestly, everything I’ve tried here has been delicious.

What I really like about this place is the value. The prices are really affordable for the portion sizes, quality, and taste you get. You can have a really satisfying meal without spending too much.

I especially recommend this spot for students who are on a budget but still want good-quality Japanese food. Definitely one of those places I keep coming back to!“

“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.“
