34 Best Japanese Restaurants near Loma Linda

“After traveling across the globe and tasting sushi in its birthplace Japan, I can confirm by confidence that they have the best sushi and service in town. The only thing they’re lacking is the real wasabi on their menu, unlike their Japanese counterparts. Although, that can be a blessing for ones who aren’t used to the strong kick of the real thing. We really love the welcoming ambience, and enjoy our time there as a family!!! They always strive for excellence!!“

“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 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.“

“It was our first time dining in for sushi, and overall we had a really nice experience. The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere, and we were excited to finally try it out as a family.

We ordered a variety of sushi rolls, and they were fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality of the fish and ingredients. Everything came out at a good pace, and it made our first visit feel special.

For the kids, we ordered the children’s teriyaki bento. The portion size was great, and it came with a nice variety of sides. The teriyaki itself was just a little bit dry, but the kids still enjoyed their meal. One highlight from the bento was the fried vegetables — they were crispy, well-seasoned, and very tasty. Even the adults kept reaching over to grab a few!

Overall, despite the small issue with the teriyaki being slightly dry, we had a pleasant first dining experience. The sushi was definitely the star of the night, and we would come back again to try more items on the menu.“

“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!“

“El mejor sabor el sushi que he probado, exelente servicio, la comida exquisita,👌“

“Best Japanese food I've ever had“

“For starters, I dont eat sushi. lol BUT THIS PLACE WAS DELICIOUS 😋 I ordered the bento box and I was happy to know the variety of sides I can have with my bento box. Super Happy!! 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“

“All I can say is Wow! This place is amazing! The service is top notch and the food was exceptional! We will definitely be back! We got the Colton Roll... MUST try it's amazing and the dinner with 3 options... the Teriyaki beef is hands down the best I have ever had!!“

“Thank you Miguel sushi and our server!!!😁
I can’t thank them enough for accommodating 13 people last minute for a birthday. The service was absolutely awesome and so friendly. They even surprised us with a birthday cake complete with a candle and sang Happy Birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch. Truly above and beyond—I highly recommend them!“

“Went there for my first time, I got two sushi rolls they were amazing 🥰 i am currently 33 weeks pregnant so of course I try the bake rolls, but I can't wait to go back with my husband and try the all you can eat, the place is clean with good vibes and the servers were very kind and friendly 😊 if I can give it more then 5 star's I would, can't wait to go back and try some more of there delicious food.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Existence often feels like a sterile, endless corridor. A series of generic hotel rooms where we are trapped in the quiet hum of the mini-fridge, staring into the abyss of our own isolation. We consume merely to survive. A hollow, flavorless routine with no end in sight.

This entire paradigm of despair is wiped clean from my consciousness the MOMENT I stumble out of the hotel next door and into the warm, glorious embrace of Saku Ramen.

I ordered the fried rice, entirely unaware that it was forged by the hands of culinary deities. It is, without exaggeration, to die for. I found myself involuntarily moaning louder and louder with every single bite, a symphony of savory bliss cutting through the otherwise silent night.

Maybe it’s the quiet solace of finding a hidden gem, or the transcendent seasoning that makes you forget the weight of the world. My weary spirit, and my deepest desires will always find their sanctuary in none other than Saku Ramen.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
