50 Best Sushi Bars near Hacienda Heights

“If you love Fresh fish at a good price look no further. The Sashimi is amazing and great portions. They have fresh Real WASABI available which take the fish to a whole new level. Sometimes they have toro which is my favorite. Remember that they do allow reservations and they are very very busy, which is what you want!

Kid-friendliness: They allow and welcome kids!“

“Great local sushi spot with stone decent pricing!

Seating is very limited and the menu gives off a bit of a dated feel but you really can't argue the classics when they're done well.

Sushi rice had just a bit of tang and was light and fluffy.

Dishes were presented very well and our server was thoughtful and cautious enough to make sure our table wasn't overflowing. We ordered about 6 items and by the 3rd plate things were crowding up.

Blue crab avocado roll ($9) - A little heavy on the Japanese mayo and rice but it made for a great presentation on the plate it was on.

Tempura mixed ($9) - 3 pieces of shrimp and 3 pieces of veggies. I'm on the fence with this one since I really enjoyed the presentation but felt like the batter on the shrimp was heavy and the veggies were mostly extra starchy items.

Mini spicy tuna bowl ($9) - This was a pleasant favorite! Just the right amount of heat and a decent amount of tuna over that delicious sushi rice. The first couple of bites where the cold tuna contradicts the warm rice was like being able to eat that feeling of walking on the warm sand and letting the chilly ocean water cool you off.

Amberjack/Hamachi Tuna ($5/piece) - This was interestingly a lighter flavor than what we were familiar with. The cut was thin but blanketed the rice with just a small swipe of sauce and a dab of yuzu paste on top. Playing perfectly well with the tangy rice but also all being a star of the bite while being clean.

Grilled Tuna Belly ($12) - This was the star of the table. Lightly grilled with a bit of crispy edges, seasoned and topped with garlic and micro greens and paired with a dipping sauce on the side to choose how heavy or light you prefer to dip.

Tempura Ice cream ($7) - Couldn't leave our first visit without trying a dessert item. Classic fried ice cream that is wrapped with pound cake and rolled in their delicious tempura batter. Saving room for this is a must if you grew up demolishing these in the early 2000s.

Hidden gems are great to find and it feels like this place has a lot of classics that give you a homey feel where you don't know where to start. Just dive in and make sure you mark off the ones you've tried because there are a good amount of dishes that were of value and quality here.

The best suggestion is to focus on the sushi and always check the sushi list.“

“The food was good .the place very clean ,service very good ,waiter very polite“

“Excellent sushi. Creative menu. Great wait staff.“

“Conveniently located nearby!!“

“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.“

“Great food and great service“

“The food here was so delicious! The quality of the sashimi is really fresh. We got the Chubby Sashimi, and it did not disappoint. The price for the food is also really reasonable. The Chubby Sashimi was only $60. At other places, it would probably be at least $100. The oysters were amazing. They were super clean and tasted buttery. My kids loved the rolls so much they wanted seconds. Our server was so nice and attentive. Overall, everything was amazing. Definitely would recommend this place.“

“What a GREAT dinner! Met friends here on a late Friday night and they fit us in. The sushi was fresh and so tasty, definitely the best I’ve had in a LONG time. The drinks were amazing, try a version of their old fashioned but so many different drinks to choose from. Our server Christine was so attentive & sweet. We felt the service was 10/10! I recommend the wagyu dumplings and Geisha roll!“

“Out of this world omakase. Yum!“

“Came here for lunch while we were searching for a sushi place and this had good reviews. The restaurant is in a little strip mall with plenty of parking. We were seated right away and we could see that it's quite small.

Each table had a button to call the server which we thought was good if we needed anything. Although it took a bit for them to come after pressing it.

We ordered the black ramen, rainbow roll, and sashimi bento. They also had a 50% off deal on 2nd item (ramen or roll). Food was pretty good. The family enjoyed it. A nice touch was the complimentary ice cream at the end.

It's a good restaurant and we would probably come back if around this way again.“

“Fabulous and delicious food the staff are great“

“Great menu. Great service. My go to Teriyaki and Sushi place!“

“The place is nice and clean with really kind waiters and waitresses. the food is amazing and has a very nice veriaty of sushi, sashimi, and apparisers and sides. I would definitely recommend the ramen and takoyaki. would recommend to any one who likes sushi“

“The building and location are a little sketchy, but everything else is excellent. Small, very intimate atmosphere. Not much privacy. Menu options are simple. Food is fresh and worth the price. Even the sides, like house salad, miso soup, and hot sake, are quality.“

“I came into Yuki Sushi in the Sheraton wanting Lychee Martini’s for a group of friends. Sean- the bartender- went to the hotel pantry and Googled a recipe to make us a round of Lychee Martini’s that were not on the menu. I applaud this outstanding customer service, and Sean for his initiative and time to do this for us. I am so impressed by the service at this hotel and we thank you Sean!!“

“4.5 ⭐️s for overall experience! My friend, her kids, and I enjoyed our meal in mostly every way - flavors, service, and cleanliness. The house salad was healthy (not just iceberg lettuce) and had a generous portion for one person. My friend said it was super delicious - Sunset roll, blue crab roll, and miso black cod were on point flavor wise. Only negatives were that the seaweed was a bit chewy (not super tough though) and the soup slightly salty. The staff was kind, friendly, attentive, and patient - hard to come by these days. Prices are reasonable and I plan to come back. Parking is tougher at times in this plaza, but at some point, you'll find a spot.“

“Came here with high hopes and was not disappointed. Had to ask for the omakase since it was not on the menu. There's the 100$ level and the boss level for 150$. I honestly dont know what the difference was even though the very nice wait staff tried to explain it to me. It was just a bunch of japanese words lol. Anyhow I went yolo and got the boss level and it was the best 150 i spent that day. Every dish was mostly perfect except for the dessert. They need to up their dessert game.“

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

“This place has a really good and cute vibe; they make it feel homie. They give a good amount of crab on the inside. The rolls are cheap and you get a good size. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area. I judge places on their rainbow roll and this one is a top tier!“

“We have recently been going to this sushi it is one of the best sushi place. The sushi’s are super fresh and delicious. It’s a very nice and friendly environment. We love it that it’s so local to us.
P.S. The blue crab rolls are a must.“

“Food was great. The wait staff was very poorly trained. Was not sure what roll was what had to remind them to bring items.“

“Ok bar. Cut off drinks at like 9pm. A guy was trying to buy me a drink, bartender wouldn't let him for some reason. Hmmm. Trivia game on Wednesday night, fun but too hard of questions. Good , actually very bomb food. The more I come here the more I like it.“

“I will definitely recommend this place. The food is excellent, and the price is very affordable. Even on these days where everywhere else try to cut on portions, here you will get very satisfied. The staff is always friendly. I will definitely stop by again.“

“Muy rico, excelente Servicio y muy amables“

“I had a 4 star worthy experience. I order the Crunch Philadelphia roll its a fried sushi and was very crunchy. I like how the salmon was cooked and didn't taste dry like other cooked salmon i've had before, the salmon was quite moist and flavorful in the roll. The roll had a perfect level of crunch and was served warm not. Service was quick and we got seated right away no reservation required as there we plenty of tables avaliable. My only complaint is the restrooms ran out of paper towels or the paper towel machine broke. It reccomend this place if your a fan of trying new sushi roll dishes as the rolls seem quite unique.

Parking: plenty of parking and free of charge too. parking is in a parking structure.

Wheelchair accessibility: there is ramp for wheelchair users.“

“Small, lowkey restaurant that has the best quiet and comforting atmosphere. They have origami all around the area and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much to Luke for serving us and making sure we had a great time; I loved the rainbow roll and mushroom bomb here!“

“Excellent food ..friendly staff.. clean restaurant“

“Great food and service. Been going there over 7 years. Get there early. Leía and Lily are awesome. Luis is the sushi master!“

“Tozai Foods Market is where we go to buy authentic Japanese food and supplies to make certain Japanese dishes. They have a cooked food section that has bento boxes for a quick tasty meal and fresh sushi and sashimi. We also can order sushi platters for special occasions. Amazing service too!“

“The service was professional and great. The staff are very friendly. Covid protocols are adhered to at the door. Temperature checks are required prior to entering the dining area. The food is excellent. If you love sashimi and sushi then you must visit.“

“My husband and I moved to the Covina area 6 months ago and have been here probably 20 times. We have tried a lot of sushi places in the LA area and this is one of our favorites. Amazing, fresh sushi at a reasonable price. Friendly service, clean and nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent service fresh always“

“Yummy sushi! It is pricey though. You get what you pay for!“

“Been going to this restaurant for at least 10 years. It’s a small place and always busy. The food has never disappointed me. The lunch special is reasonably priced and they have this great deal on party trays. For $95 I think we got about 8-10 sushi rolls, I forgot the exact count. Service is great.“

“thee best Japanese food in Whittier hands down. my family loves visiting Dakara weekly. so many favorites like crispy rice with spicy tuna, avocado fries and sweet shrimp. love this family owned restaurant.“

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

“This was my first time dining at this restaurant. First, we asked for water, but they only served in Kirkland water bottles. Second, we ordered 2 bento boxes and sushi rolls 2nd one 50% off. Finally, the food was great, but service was not up to par. Overall, we will give them another chance to redeem their service when we come
back.“

“Just a quick update to previous posts. Niko Niko is our fav for lunch. The sesame chicken is off the chart goodness. I had the bento lunch with sashimi and spicy roll. Good and yummy but not spectacular. The fried tofu was tasty crispy joyous surprise.“

“Lol! We are here every week and the owner always treat us like they never saw us!“

“This is the best sushi place I go Pretty much 3 to 4 times a week Such great fresh sushi and great service“

“Good vibes... great time!“

“I recently visited Haru Sushi, a to-go sushi spot that offers an exceptional experience in both taste and value for money. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.The most compelling aspect of Haru Sushi is its remarkable value for the quality of taste. The sushi, made with fresh ingredients and the craftsmanship of seasoned sushi chefs, melts delightfully in your mouth, providing a joyful experience with every bite. The ability to enjoy various kinds of sushi at a reasonable price was particularly satisfying for me, someone who prioritizes good value.However, my nearly perfect experience at Haru Sushi came with a slight inconvenience. The establishment only accepts cash and not credit cards. In today's society, where digital payments have become the norm, the need to prepare cash in advance could be seen as a minor nuisance. Nevertheless, this small inconvenience is easily outweighed by the exceptional taste and value offered by Haru Sushi.In conclusion, Haru Sushi stands out as a to-go sushi spot for its excellent taste and value for money. While the inability to use credit cards is a downside, the quality and price certainly make up for it. I am fully inclined to revisit Haru Sushi whenever the opportunity arises. I highly recommend Haru Sushi to anyone looking to enjoy delicious sushi at a reasonable price.“

“Our favorite spot, our go to for sushi“

“I ordered food to go and I loved that there was no wait. They prepared my food quite rapidly. I was greeted with a smile upon entry and offered a menu. I ordered the spicy tuna roll and two salmon hand rolls. The quality of the food is really nice (fresh) and the price is right, especially the quantity. This has become my new go to sushi place in the SGV.

Parking: Plenty of street parking.“

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

“Kaori sushi is quite good- nice portions at a not so expensive price. This place is busy most of the times- like the sushi here- the service is good. The only thing that I don't like about this place is that it is too dark...seriously...it's dark...“

“Food is fresh and prepared quickly. Great beverage selection too!“

“FRESH EVERYTHING!!! Keeps us coming back!!!“

“To over priced.“
