50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Montclair

“Big bowl of deliciousness! Authentic ramen we've been searching for in the I.E. We had the Naruto chashu ramen with medium spice and everything about it was perfect.
If you're a Naruto fan, this is your spot. Anime themed decor.“

“Omigod I told them I would write a review if I went home and liked what I ordered. Hands down 10s across the board! Everything was delicious! They even gave me a free onion soup! I will be back all the time I’m obsessed with hibachi and yours my friends was delicious! 🙌🏽🫶🏽“

“Excellent foods and excellent service every time“

“Very clean, good service and delicious!!“

“This place was amazing. They have an extensive menu, with unique rolls. The service is great and the atmosphere is perfect, with many TVs. I live in Rancho and have been to many sushi restaurants. None of them are as good as this place!!“

“Ordered the chicken and shrimp teriyaki bowl with a crunch roll on the side. Food was delicious, fresh and reasonably priced. Additionally, the owner was nice and the restaurant is super clean. Definitely worth a try. I wish I lived closer to visit more often. Thank you!“

“For over a decade, Ojiya has been my local go-to for Sushi/Sashimi. Sick of its long waiting-list and really want to try something different. This one turned out living up to its good review. Friendly waitress, fresh fish and reasonable price. Will absolutive come back.“

“Very friendly service. This place gets really busy on a Friday and Saturday evening and the staff handles it wonderfully. Food is also very good, one of a few places that serve kizami wasabi. Our favorites include the beef udon, energy roll and the sashimi platter.

Drink specials always on point. Plenty of parking.“

“We had an amazing experience at Tenmaya Japanese Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious , fresh sashimi, perfectly cooked tempura, and flavorful rolls. The presentation was beautiful and everything tasted authentic. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. Definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants in the area. Highly recommend for both family dinners and special occasions! 🍣✨“

“I ordered carry-out but the atmosphere & vibe was so cute & authentic that I wanted to stay. Food was ready fast & service was excellent. I had to ask them a lot of questions on the phone & they were so nice. Food was very good, I loved the unagi sashimi & tofu salad!“

“Came in on a Friday night, found them through some positive google reviews and did not disappoint. The bowls and portion sizes are very generous for what you pay and most importantly food is fresh/delicious. The owners and staff are very friendly, very much looking forward to coming back weekly.

“It was so good worth it y’all!“

“OMG.... we didn't know the tasty sushi restaurant was very close to us. We had early dinner with in-laws, and my mother-in-law and her sister did not enjoy raw foods, but they both liked the foods. We will definitely come back again. *Next visit, I will try to take food pictures 😂“

“love this restaurant, even I am not a fan for raw food. I ordered beef and chicken teriyaki. It is good and delicious, and the service was excellent. Really want to recommend to friends.“

“I would give this place a 4.5 rating.
The place was clean and the food was delicious. I had the salt & pepper shrimp and my husband had the kung pao. I have to admit that when we walked in, I had my doubts. The place was empty and there were boxes stacked up in the dining area. Most likely bz they just got supplies but it didn't do much for the atmosphere. However, the gentleman who served us was very nice and didn't overly bug us. He would keep an eye to see if we were low on drinks but was not hovering. This is something I always appreciate. He noticed I ate all the jalapeño peppers and even let me know I could request it spicier next time. The missing half has very little to do with them or their food.
They are hidden away in a tiny spot so not too easy to find but the worth the effort. I definitely plan to return.“

“Truly authentic Japanese restaurant! Food, service are excellent!! The quality is very much like in Japan. I have spent a lot of time in Japan over the years. Hard to find a better Japan restaurant than this, especially being far away from L.A., Torrance, and Costa Mesa. It's definitely my favorite place to eat sushi and anything else!“

“Fresh, fast, and served with a smile. And for $0.02, you even get advice! Really great value.“

“Read my post it's the best around“

“Been craving teriyaki bowls lately. Decided to stop in and try this place out. The portion was good. Tastes was good. Price was competitive. Place is decent. Would recommend if you crave teriyaki chicken and are in the area. They have plenty of options to choose from.“

“Tried Tokido Ramen in Chino Hills and were pleasantly surprised by the flavor and service. We had calamari, fried soft shell crab, and panko shrimp to start—each one crispy and well-prepared. The Tonkotsu ramen with garlic oil was rich and satisfying, and the version with black garlic oil added a beautifully smoky depth. We added extra corn for a little sweetness and it balanced the broth perfectly. Boba milk tea and lychee tea with boba rounded out the meal.

The server was attentive and helpful, and despite the cozy space (only six tables), the food came out hot and flavorful. This spot may be small, but the taste is big. We’ll definitely be back.

“Third time there tonight. Always delicious!“

“Hidden gem! This Japanese restaurant is amazing.
You order at the register with great staff, they have pictures of the food so you know what you’re getting yourself into.
We ordered the veggie gyozas that were delicious, cream shrimp udon noodles that were amazing, and two sushi rolls that were surprisingly amazing.
The ambience is great and their music selection is top tier.
Definitely recommend the curry and sushi.“

“Wow this place surprised me so much, I went on my birthday it was a Thursday mid day and it was lonely. Not sure if that’s good or not but as we walked in, we were greeted and welcomed to a nice beautiful atmosphere.

Open concept, nice design. We were serviced beautifully everything was clean and squeaky clean floors.

Menu was okay to read, but we were able to order a few yummy rolls.
Ocean roll
Super salmon roll
California roll
Vegas roll

Wow the my favorite was the Vegas roll the combo with the crispy outer layer and the fresh fish on top with avocado with sauce oof it was delicious a must order option!
Everything was delicious and what made the difference was freshness.

I would definitely come here again or order out, but it seems a lot of people order out. Dining in was a great experience and more need to come and experience everything as well at least when they can.

Parking was a bit difficult, one level and easy wheelchair access.

You can get vegetarian options here or ask what they have :)

Overall my experience was pretty great and those who love sushi definitely need to try this place out.“

“Delicious noodle joint with great sides. The potato croquet and chicken were perfectly fried. The broth was delicious and the udon noodles had great texture. Overall I really enjoyed this spot and I'm adding it to my regular noodle joint list. If you're in Chino Hills make sure you stop by for a great bowl of noodles!“

“Located right next to Cal Poly college, Jinza Teriyaki is a great spot to eat after classes, my all time favorite is the Loco Moco bowl. The people are incredibly nice and especially early the place is a nice quite area to eat in. My only wish is that they would open earlier as someone who's out n about by 7am, but I understand not wanting to open at the crack of dawn.“

“Everything their soup is delicious“

“This was the best teppanyaki spot in the inland empire. I was blown away by the food and show. Alex was our chef and he was amazing. There was a special sirracha he made for us that was the best I have ever had. The resturant is very cute inside and my family had a blast.“

“my 1st time. food was off the hook good. I will be back again“

“Always fresh, consistently delicious, and served with a smile! The team at Amazing Poke is incredibly friendly, accommodating, and genuinely cares about your experience. Whether you’re customizing your bowl or trying one of their signature creations, everything is high quality and reasonably priced. One of my go-to spots in Chino—highly recommend! Their location is always clean too.“

“Came here for my post graduation dinner they were friendly and attentive though the front desk was a bit blunt when we were asking about if our table would be ready soon after waiting some time for our reservation. The food is good nothing out of the ordinary, I got the tonkotsu ramen it wasn't bad.“

“The staff here is all super friendly, the one time they gave me a wrong order the sushi chef sent over a free appetizer for my table and then my food was out quickly after. Regardless the staff is great, love the atmosphere, good music, it's a smaller restaurant yes but they have great quality in each dish and even when it's super busy you don't wait long for your order.“

“This is a really delicious place to eat on campus. I am really looking forward to the opening. The poke here is really good. I like the bowl option because I can pick one fish and as many toppings as I want. The toppings are unlimited. The boba is good too. I like the milk tea with boba and matcha option.Features: Since this is a college campus, it is required to wear a mask at all times except when eating. “

“Most fresh and flavorful sushi I've had in my life! Their cooked dishes are very good too. I like the broiled cod and baked muscle. I have been coming here for almost 30 years. If you're seeking a top notch, authentic, and Japanese-owned restaurant, look no further.“

“This was our first time at Ichi. From the moment we walked in we were happy. The decor is great and inviting. The employees were nice and attentive. If you feel like ordering poké can be intimidating you can use the extra large tablets to order all the goodies you want and take all the time you need. The servings are generous and delicious. We will definitely be back for more.“

“The take-out box was convenient, if not finished in restaurant. The beef and chicken were great with the provided salad dressing, rather than the teriyaki sauce. It was placed as side as suggested by the host, especially that I was a diabetic. The water was refilled as needed, which was appreciated. I also asked for a second bowl of miso, which I enjoyed. Overall, it was great to have a meal at the Bento Box in Chino.“

“Great food as always. Fresh fish.“

“This was my first time here. It was our company Christmas luncheon. Really great time. the food prepared in from of you was excellent and quite the show. Both the service and food was exceptional.“

“Delicious and affordable food 👍🏻And the staff is very friendly.“

“Today will be my third time I will be visiting here with friends and family
This place is b00mb, no discrimination, food so good , above all they are all nice and polite to their customers. I highly recommend this restaurant for your friends and family👌“

“This place was full when we came but one staff immediately cleaned a table for us... nice! Food was superb & so with the service. I love their Orange Sushi... it's was one of the best sushi I ever had! Love this place. We're sure to come back.“

“📍 The Poke Place

I walked in expecting a decent bowl. I walked out spiritually awakened. If sushi had a gym membership and went to therapy, it would look like this poke bowl.

The fish? Fresh like it just clocked out of the ocean.
The toppings? Crunchy, juicy, spicy, sweet – all fighting for attention in the best way possible.
The sauce? Sent from heaven. Probably bottled by angels. I got the spicy mayo and now I understand inner peace.

The staff? So nice I wanted to tip them my car. Super patient, even though I stood there like a confused toddler trying to build the perfect bowl. Zero judgment. Just good vibes and helpful suggestions.

Place is clean, and the portions? Let’s just say I waddled out happy.

This spot is criminally underrated. You ever eat something so good you stop mid-bite just to stare at it? That was me. Mid-bite. Existential crisis. Just sitting there like, “Why have I wasted time eating anything else?”

If you are tired of sad lunches and flavorless regrets, do yourself a favor. Come here. Build a bowl. Change your life. 🌈

Big shoutout to The Poke Place. I do not know what you are putting in those bowls but please never stop. I would sell my Xbox before I stop eating here.

💥 Flavor explosion
💥 Fresh ingredients
💥 Chill service
💥 Instagram-worthy

Poke game STRONG. 🔥🐟

“Great experience!! Love the food!!“

“Allen is the man. This place is like eating at home but like they make sushi and stuff. Food speaks for itself and is legit. Best sushi place for miles. Small intimate place easily becomes your go to spot to eat. Very friendly and just like a barbershop open to conversations that end up taking over the place with laughs. Get to know the chefs and they'll become family and take care of you like no other. If I could give more stars I would. I never really write reviews but this place deserves recognition from staff alone. Love the food too. Them rolls man ? . Let's go! God bless.“

“Everything is perfect. Best sushi I have had in any area of San Bernardino, LA, or Riverside county. Cooks and owner all appear to be Japanese, so it is almost certainly the real deal. They are all so Friendly. It is not a dine in restaurant. They do have a couple chair and tables but it is rather small. It is stricly take-out mostly. Small but effective menu. All the food. Absolutely all is a A+ in my book.“

“Best Sushi ever! Thank you for always having quality seafood and a wonderful dinning experience!“

“We always have a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The service is truly excellent, friendly, attentive, and thoughtful from start to finish. What stood out the most was how kind they were with our baby, Mila. Highly recommended for families!“

“Food great but they need to train all the waitresses“

“This place is really clean
Minerva nervous is very attentive
Food was it actually delicious. The sauce wasn’t too overpowering. You could actually taste the meat.
Their sauce for the shrimp is really good ! They had some salad with the meal that was really refreshing. Everything was freshly made. Great job guys!“

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