50 Best Sushi Bars near Duarte

“I recently tried Koki Ku Sushi, a newer Japanese restaurant in Duarte, and came away pleasantly surprised.

I stopped by for their lunch special and found the service attentive and welcoming throughout the meal. The 5-piece chef's choice premium nigiri was fresh and enjoyable, with each piece offering a nice variety of flavors.

I also ordered the Salmon Teriyaki with Spicy Tuna Roll combo. The teriyaki salmon was flavorful, although the slices were a bit thinner compared to what I've had at other sushi spots. The spicy tuna roll was generously portioned and filling enough to make for a satisfying lunch.

The restaurant itself has a clean, modern design and is conveniently located in the Target plaza, where parking is plentiful and easy. Overall, Koki Ku Sushi is a nice addition to the Duarte dining scene, and I'll be back to try more items from their menu.“

“Everything I had here was absolutely fantastic. The presentation is beautiful, especially the way they serve items on unique, flower-shaped plates.

The quality of the fish is clearly top-notch. I was blown away by the freshness of the uni and the rich, delicate flavors in every bite. It is rare to find a spot that pays this much attention to both the taste and the plating.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the creative touch of seeing their logo on the sake cups. This place is a gem and I cannot wait to come back for another meal.“

“Food was delicious!!! We had our two great granddaughters with us, they treated them so nicely, gave them extra tofu and attention!!! We will be visiting again soon!!“

“Umebana has amazing food! I'm currently pregnant and I have been looking all over for a sushi place to make food accommodations for me when I have my cravings. Umebana is always so kind to me, the atmosphere is clean and enjoyable, and the food is always made exactly how I requested it, so delicious! Thank you for taking such great care of me“

“Great food and great service“

“Overall 5 stars:

Rationale:
- tons of treats, snack, to choose from
- raw fish quality looked decent and fresh
- sushi quality is superb for being made in advance
- prices : very reasonable

Only suggestions for a better overall customer experience:
- better organization for the refrigerators
- it's too tight and not enough space to open refrigerator doors without bumping people or bothering others while shopping
- the Yama in LA felt like it has a better organization to it, the space size appears to be similar from what I recall, I may be wrong

Having said that:
- this place is phenomenal and you should definitely give it a try
- staff is incredibly nice
- the quality is top notch
- variety/options are decent
- you won't be disappointed and you'll definitely find yourself returning for more“

“A Delightful Sushi Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sushi was outstanding—fresh, expertly crafted, and beautifully presented. The chef’s special sashimi, were bursting with flavor. The nigiri was a standout, with perfectly seasoned rice and melt-in-your-mouth fish. Service was impeccable; the staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They even made excellent recommendations based on my preferences. One thing to note: Fillet doesn’t have a liquor license yet, so if you’re someone who enjoys pairing sushi with sake or wine, this might be a consideration. They said it’s coming soon, I can’t wait to come back here again.“

“Quality food & service at reasonable prices 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“We were in the mood for some good ramen and sushi and ended up coming here after looking at the reviews and pictures. Needless to say this place was delicious and has a good variety of different options. Definitely recommend checking out the mixed tempura, soft shell crab and the spicy tonkotsu ramen. Hard such a hard time deciding on a roll but ended up going with a caterpillar roll that was very delicious and fresh. Good price and good quality for the location. Definitely coming back for more.“

“Came here based on recommendations from our friends and it did not disappoint. We ordered the sushi boat for 2 which came with thick cuts of sashimi, deep fried soft shelled crab, shrimp and veggie tempura, fried chicken, and teriyaki (we got the beef and chicken mix). There was so much food it was probably enough to serve 4 people!

They offer miso soup and edamame for the table when you get seated. The restaurant itself is pretty small but we came for a late dinner on Fri and was seated immediately. Sashimi is very fresh and portions were generous. Our friends really recommend the chirashi bowl so that’s what we’re gonna get next time we’re back. What a hidden gem of a restaurant! :)“

“Sooo good! The garlic edamame was outstanding! I always order an eel avocado roll and this was one of the best I’ve had. Stopped in for an early dinner while working in the area. Service was prompt and friendly. Ambience was charming. But go for the food!“

“Every bite feels like an artful blend of freshness, flavor, and precision. Good place for catching up with your favorite person�“

“I really loved this place! Such a good spot for date night. I really enjoyed the bbq ribs appetizer. My boyfriend had the fried oysters appetizer all to himself. I loved the albacore served with very thin slices of onion and a small bed of rice. The California roll was superb. Washed it all down with their Nigori sake & crème brûlée. Love that they are open late on Saturdays too. 10/10 for me 😍“

The place has a clean, modern vibe and the staff were friendly and attentive. Great spot if you’re in the mood for sushi or Japanese food“

“We had a wonderful experience at Yashima. The food was fresh and beautifully prepared, and everything we ordered tasted amazing. The sushi and sashimi were especially high quality. The atmosphere felt authentic and cozy, and the service was friendly and attentive. It’s clear they take pride in their food. We will definitely be coming back!“

“This place is amazing! Great food and service is excellent. Thank you Mikomi“

“If you like Sushi like I like Sushi this is the place with their AYCE menu. Laura is an amazing person to know, great energy. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable, I always enjoy going there. When you go tell them you read Don's review, thanks! Enjoy“

“Me encanto muy amable elpersonal“

“Wonderful restaurant, inside eating and pick-up, and store for plant based eating including for dogs (omnivores). And it is good enough for bringing non vegans. Although no fooling carnivores they seem happy and willing to come back too. Very casual no frills small place inside eating but I find room if you need a spot for a small group (4 or less).“

“The fish was sliced beautifully, and the citrus-soy dressing was light enough to let the natural flavor come through.

The nigiri platter was the highlight of the night.

The toro melted the moment it hit my tongue, and the yellowtail, salmon, and shrimp were all clean, fresh, and perfectly seasoned.

The baked jumbo prawns were unforgettable — creamy and smoky, topped with masago and green onion.

Every dish was plated with real care, and the service was warm and attentive from the moment we sat down.

The quality of the fish here is something you can taste right away.

I honestly don’t think I’ll ever forget this meal, and we’ll be back soon.“

“What a gem! Came here for dinner on Friday night and food is great!
Chutoro nigiri - Fresh, generous cut. Definitely a bit pricey but that’s to be expected of chutoro cut. It was so good we did 2 orders!
Tuna roll - Very good too, generous with tuna filling
Deluxe uni pasta - Wow, very creamy and uni-y. It does get very rich so recommend 2 people sharing. I was fully almost halfway into the dish because of how rich and creamy it was.

Service is pretty quick and ambiance can get pretty loud. We came on Friday night and there was a big party at a different table so it did get loud but thankfully we still got seated immediately. Will return again.“

“The food is so fresh. The presentation is very nice. Service is outstanding. pricing very reasonable. Best Sushi around for miles.“

“sushiland is truly a hidden gem in hacienda heights. I come here almost weekly with my girlfriend and I never had something we didn’t like. The scallop roll, scallop sushi, and wagyu sushi are absolutely amazing. Toro is always fresh and the beers are cold and cheap. We are always met with a smile by the employees and truly feel the good energy in the restaurant as well as the food we are served. Beyond thankful this is a 2 minute drive I urge anyone in LP or HH to give this place a shot- i’ve eaten at about every sushi place in Hacienda Heights and this one is clearly the best.

much love sushiland,
jeff“

“This is a really good sushi spot in a food court. The tempura, sushi, and bento boxes reminds of the old Sushi on Garfield takeout restaurant in Monterey Park (now permanently closed) before the owner changed its menu, but Sushi In The Box has many more choices.“

“Fresh and delicious! Great local spot!“

“Enjoyed our quiet outdoor meal last night. Everything was delicious 😋“

“I’ve been coming to sushi rolland for a while now, and I’d say, I’m pretty satisfied! I’ve been impressed by the freshness of the their fish, especially their salmon. I LOVE salmon, and their salmon is buttery and very good quality. For their price and quality, I’d say it’s definitely worth it. I’ve tried their salmon delight, crunch roll, dragon roll, blossom roll, salmon avocado combo, combo an and combo c. I tried out their new menu today, the salmon crunch, and I really liked it (apologies for the half eaten picture). Might be my new go to menu item. I really the fried onions on there. I always like getting their miso soup, such a good combination with the sushi. Highly recommend their combo plate, especially combo A!“

“Always a great dining experience with great service. Kanpai!!!“

“Just goggled and found. Good parking yummy food good choices. Abd large servings“

“Bomb poke indeed. First time here, so not sure what it was like before but everything I had was so delicious. The portions were generous and the price was fair. The ice cream was great as well. It all tasted like it was good quality. I'll be coming back for sure!“

“so good!!! yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Great Japanese izakaya in West Covina. The sashimi was very fresh and cut surprisingly thick. We also enjoyed the Wagyu dishes, especially the Wagyu Donburi and Steak Bites. The Cumin Black Snapper was unique and unlike anything I’ve had at a Japanese restaurant before. Nice atmosphere, good presentation, and a great spot for sharing dishes with friends.“

“Good food, portions & service...“

“Such a super fun place with yummy food! Bring your stretchy pants!!

The restaurant is clean and decorated to have a good time! The service was very friendly and helpful!

They offer both KBBQ and seafood boil. We had both and enjoyed each bite.

They also have a bar area offering sides for your KBBQ and so many roll choices.

We had the premium menu and took advantage of their amazing offer of a free boil (deal ends soon, check restaurant). The premium menu had plenty of choice meats offered including seafood choices such as shrimp and octopus.

The servers there were quick to change out the grill for us and make sure we had everything we needed.

The boil itself was generous and tasty. We had the house special flavor, which I recommend! In their boil they offer one crab or lobster pp. we had one of each and wow! Felt special!

We will be back!“

“Sashimi is fresh. Grilled items are tasty. Good selection of sake. And the service is very good. Thank you, Nathan.“

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

“My go-to sushi spot for sure. I’ve been here so many times that they already know my order when I walk in 😂. Great sushi, great service, and they always make you feel welcome. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Fantastic. Great service and even better sushi.“

“Very helpful staff in choosing what to eat. The food is delicious and very fresh!“

“I ordered a few menu items via DoorDash. Unfortunately, DoorDash did not deliver one of the items and, they declined my request for a refund (warning to those who use DoorDash). I want to thank Mgr. Joshua for taking the time to deliver the item to me directly, that DoorDash failed to deliver. The food I did receive was delicious. Thank you again.“

“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.“
