38 Best Japanese Restaurants near Loma Linda

“This place is a true neighborhood gem! It's the kind of hole-in-the-wall you hope to stumble on and then want to keep the place a secret all to yourself. The sushi was outstanding, clearly made with care and skill. Every piece full of flavor.

The staff made the meal even better. They were warm, attentive, and genuinely polite without ever feeling stiff or overly formal. The kind of service that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit.

The atmosphere is a little rough around the edges, as it won't win any design awards, but there's a well-worn, lived-in charm to it that fits the vibe of the food. It's clear this is a place run with love, even if the decor hasn't caught up to the cooking.

If you're after Instagram-perfect ambiance, this might not be it. If you're after excellent sushi and people who genuinely care about serving you well, this is a must-try.“

“Taste good and all employee awesome 👍👍👍👍“

“The food is very delicious. Big portions and not too pricey. Great customer service.“

“All you can eat sushi.!!! Delicious..!!!!!“

“A classic sushi/Japanese experience. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely fresh and amazing. I enjoyed the vibe here, the interior has a traditional Japanese feel and the tiny pop culture additions makes it feel homey. (The ken figure and the curtains) I ordered the combo miso soup with 3 hand rolls. 3 HAND ROLLS. each was fantastic. I'm geeking out cause you just don't see that in most places.“

“A restaurant we stopped by on the way from LA to the Grand Canyon! Maybe it's a local restaurant, but there are a lot of local customers. The store is clean and the raw fish is fresh, so it seems like a good place to stop by while traveling.“

“Friendly staff, immediate seating, and the sushi was perfect. The rice was tender with exactly the correct amount of vinegar, the fish was incredibly fresh and well prepared, and every single thing that I ordered was made with careful consideration.

I had the octopus, escolar, and surf clam nigiri, spicy scallop hand rolls, salmon carpaccio, and seared escolar. They were all incredibly well prepared with well-balanced sauce/togarashi.

I love that the sushi is also sized correctly, each piece is actually a single bite the way they're traditionally intended to be served.

Incredibly happy with my service start to finish and will absolutely be coming back.“

“this spot is so amazing! we got the Tempura California Roll($7.98), Golden Philly Roll($9.98), and Ichiban Roll($11
48), all of which had 8 pieces and came out within 10-15 minutes! the prices are insanely good for the quality of food you receive! the hostess was the kindest older lady and helped us choose our rolls! she also told us that they make all the sauces, wasabi, and majority of the ingredients theirselves! i highly recommend you visit this spot!!“

“Food was great. The steak could’ve used a little more seasoning, but it was still good. Portions were solid. The chicken and shrimp were both flavorful. Just a heads up, the noodles are pretty spicy, so if you’re not used to heat, you might want to skip them lol. Overall, a solid choice and I’d definitely go back.“

“The place is clean, and the staff and owner are incredibly friendly. We ordered two chicken teriyaki plates and the fried Oreos, and everything was amazing. The chicken teriyaki honestly reminded me of home in Seattle. It was juicy and tasty. We recently moved to the area from LA, and this is by far the best teriyaki spot we’ve found so far. This place definitely just gained three loyal customers. 10/10!“

“I ordered a bowl of seafood ramen, the ramen was chewy and the soup was thick but not greasy. I will come again next time. . . .“

“I didnt have any expectation when I came in, just finish up the gym and was just super hungry!

Surprisingly, the sushi quality are way better than I expected. The portions are way generous! For $12 dollar fried baby octopus they give like 8 pieces, for the salmon skin salad, i thought I would see this small bowl but it’s actually so huge that I can be full just by eating alone. And of course the main sashimi bowl, with gorgeous display~ Look at the picture and you’ll see!! Happy happy stomach!

Easy parking, spacious tables, yummy food, you got all the reasons to come!!!“

I was able to venture in exploring my sushi experience and try to lobster roll, it was delicious. We were a big party and the server was so amazing in checking in with us! Thank you for the experience“

“Found this gem when I fist moved here in march! Reasonable prices and quality of fish is good. I always sit at the sushi bar and the sushi chefs are always so nice and on top of it. Cajun salmon is delicious! Definitely recommend“

“the California rolls are awesome highly recommend it.“

“My husband and I have been meeting for lunch here during the work week over the last year or so. We probably go at least once every two weeks to Sushi Miguel's. We have gotten to know the server who always takes good care of us. He remembers our ice tea orders. Food is insistently good! Today in honor of my retirement they treated us to a special dessert! Yum. Good people! Definitely recommend.“

“Always a great experience at Miguel's, service is always the best. Friendly and inviting, atmosphere is awesome. We tried the HEAVY ROLL which has been added as of the last 2 weeks. That real is awesomely great, it has everything!!! Thanks Miguel's“

“Hidden Gem Alert!!!

I’ve had sushi from so many places, but THIS spot blows every other one out of the water. The food is insanely fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic — like melt-in-your-mouth good. The sushi chef (I didn’t catch his name, but he deserves a trophy) is not only incredibly skilled, but also so kind and welcoming. It was my first time here and he surprised me with a free roll on the house — who does that anymore?!
This place is a diamond in the rough and I’m honestly shocked it’s not already famous. If you’re even thinking about trying it, GO. RIGHT. NOW. You’ll thank me later.“

“We took my grandma and her friend to try sushi for the first time and the staff went out of their way to help serve my grandma's friend who has a severe gluten allergy. They were able to make her a gluten-free fried rice that was delicious and made it possible for her to eat with us. So thankful for their efforts and kindness ❤️“

“Great restaurant at the Riverside Plaza. Always a fun time at the hibachi. Great service, generous portions, and delicious food. Cocktails are a plus!! Love this place and definitely recommend. Sitting at the sushi bar is also highly recommended if hibachi isn't your thing. The sushi is delicious 😋“

“Best Japanese food I've ever had“

“My first visit on Monday, the gentleman taking orders was very helpful. He explained the menu and what he would recommend due to all my answers to his questions. I ate there as they had two tables available. Took my daughter there. Saturday for dinner.“

“I got the Steak and Shrimp bowl with brown rice and veggies…it was really good and flavorful but I wasn’t pleased that the shrimp wasn’t cleaned…the mud vein clearly visible on the 5 shrimp in the bowl…I picked the shrimp out and ate the steak…paid $12 for a bowl been nice if the shrimp were cleaned…won’t stop me from eating there again, I just won’t order any shrimp.“

“Floors were FILTHY & slippery“

“Honestly the poke here is amazing, I kinda looked down on it at first due to the price and comparing the portions to panda next door but the amount of fish/protein you get for a normal is amazing. Definitely a more healthy alternative to the more greasy food around. I would argue that its better than some poke places off campus. Like other reviews have said the line does get long around 12-1 pm so I have always gone around 11am or 2pm+. Depends on your schedule obv. Thank you to all the student workers!“

“Great for a quick stop if you want something more healthy.

The staff has always been friendly and quick. I can order online and pick up fast, earn free add-ons, and the food is good. The inside is plain and kind of dark, but clean, however I rarely eat there.“

“if you are in the riverside area near the magnolia center and in the mood for sushi 🍣, you got to give this place a try. the food is fantastic and the drinks, wow! prices are fair, beer is cold, service is very good and lots of choices on menu. they got karaoke on Fridays atv6 and it's just a cool hole in the wall.“

“A huge selection! Everything was really good and the staff was polite, professional and fast! I want to try the dinner buffet! the lunch buffet is stacked!“

“I haven’t had Saku Ramen in over 2 years and I’ve been craving the dip broth sooo bad, well I finally came in today and was a little disappointed to find out they no longer serve the dip broth!
PLEASE BRING IT BACKKK!!!

Needless to say I had the spicy miso brother and it was still oh so very delicious. 😋 I can say with confidence that Saku Ramen has some of the best ramen I’ve had in the IE.
(Although it is on the pricy side, 3 ramens came out to a total of $76)“

“Tasty….. great veggies …. Teriyaki chicken….. sweet n sour dipping sauce is outstanding“

“Amazing restaurant in Riverside! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the entire visit. You can really tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. The atmosphere was great, the service was excellent, and everything exceeded expectations. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and amazing people. I’ll definitely be coming back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
