“The staff is super nice service is reasonably fast without being too fast. Great atmosphere and being able to order pickled cucumbers as side to my burger is a massive plus. It's one of the few places I know whose side list isn't 5 variation of fries.”

“Wevhave always came here and enjoyed it. Well recently we went to a highly recommended place in san dimas(won't say any name) and theirs was warm, service was bad and slow , and salmon was fishy so it reminded us how amazing the food is here at one spot and what great service we get everytime even when they are busy. I don't think we will try another AYCE again.Oh and i forgot to mention they have gluten free soy sauce and dye free wasabi.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free sauce and dye free wasabi.Downside.....no sashimi AYCE if on a diet”

“We went here for my cousin's birthday with a set menu of options. My husband had the wet chile colorado burrito, I had the chile colorado tostada, and my mom had the fish tacos. Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were huge. The inside of the restaurant is dark, quaint, and comfortable and the service was great. We will be going back, but next time we might need to split a plate unless we want to take home some leftovers (which is very possible).”

“My wife and I have been dinning at this restaurant now for about 8 years and the food and service have always been top notch. Everything is always delicious and reasonably priced. We gave only 3 stars for atmosphere due to their restrooms which show great neglect as looks, ventilation and lighting, a little investment in refurbishing them would pay off dividends in keeping more clients coming back.”

“Visited on Monday night for ayce. It’s pretty chill, great customer service. However, there’re many items that we ordered didn’t come. For food quality, fish is fresh, but the sushi rice is a little sweet and sticky that doesn’t go well with fish. Chicken katsu very thin and small, mushroom miso soup uses white mushroom but tastes uncooked??”

Applebee's Grill + Bar 9241 Monte Vista Ave, Montclair American • $$
9241 Monte Vista Ave, Montclair

“This is my favorite Applebee’s and I just want to say that I went in one day with an oxygen tank with me, and not only did they not question me like all of the restaurants do to see if I was safe to be in there (this was in 2024 so a little after Covid) they made sure to have a clear path to my table so that my tank could roll by and instead of taking me the quick way to my table, which would be up the stairs, they took me to the ramp which was a little longer, but I appreciate it because it showed me that they were willing to go above and beyond to take care of someone with certain needs. I am also autistic so it’s hard for me to speak sometimes and I don’t remember the waiters name but he was very understanding when I tried to speak it was hard, and I was trying to get my point across and I just pointed to things and he understood. When he asked me how I like my steak cause I got bourbon street steak all I said was med… and he was like “ medium you got it” I was so impressed with how he handled the situation, mostly because I couldn’t pronounce the full word as I was struggling. I was also a one person party so the fact that they were nice enough to understand that it was hard for me without asking what disabilities I had like a lot of restaurants I go to do. This was hands-down, a great experience for me. Thank you.”

Los Portales Mexican Grill - Montclair 10244 Central Ave, Montclair Mexican • $$
10244 Central Ave, Montclair

“This place was a 1st time try for us on a recommendation from my husband's coworker. The staff was so inviting and kind no wait and our waitress was amazing. She had a big smile and checked on us frequently. The food was so good, delivered nice and hot to the table in no time. Our drinks were made very well to our liking as well, so kudos to the bartender. My husband got the Cadillac margarita, and I ordered a strawberry daiquiri, and I always substitute the rum for Malibu rum (try it, you won't be disappointed). We got a small Albondigas soup to try because we love a good soup spot for cold days, and it was so vibrant, hot, and full of flavor. We got the Chili relleno and cheese enchilada combo plate. Both were packed with plenty of sauce and lots of gooey melty cheese, and the rice and beans were phenomenal as well. We ordered dessert to go as we were full from dinner. We got a slice of carrot cake, a slice of chocolate cake, and a slice of the turtle cheesecake. All 3 were delicious. We live in Covina, so we're not super close, but we will definitely be back again. Thank you to our amazing waitress and staff for a wonderful meal.Parking: Lots of spots located in a strip mall.Wheelchair accessibility: Very easily accessible with a wheelchair all of the tables are easy to maneuver to as well.”

5295 N Montclair Plaza Ln, Montclair

“Massive chain restuarant with good food. The dining room and bar seem to take up a city block. This is not a place for a quiet, peaceful dinner. The host takes your name and cell to let you know when your table is ready. They were prompt and accurate with the wait time. Male host was unfriendly. Waitresses were spectacular. Table was under a vent and she moved us. Very pleasant. I had the sticky ribs. Fall off the bone with an excellent plum sauce. Great fries. OK cole slaw. Ahi tuna salad was very large and tuna perfectly cooked. Fish n chips was 3 large pieces of freshly battered fish and a mound of fries. Childs dinner was a little disappointing. Big bowl of pasta with butter and a slice of watermelon. Cinchy for $8. Enjoyed the food. Very attentive waitstaff.”
