Drink specials always on point. Plenty of parking.“

“GOD TIER. Everyone keeps getting the ramen, BUT THE MAZESOBA IS WHERE IT’S AT!!! RAMEN FOOLS!! GET THE MAZESOBA!!

Super decadent, generous with the sauce (you can request a small scoop of rice for free afterwards to finish off the sauce), great noodle texture, amazing taste!! The first bite was heaven.

Looks small at first but that’s just because the bowl is big/I was struggling to finish halfway through.

AJ, our server, is super friendly, chill, and attentive! He brings amazing vibes.

10/10 will come again“

“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!“

“Me encanto el lugar muy agradable el personal no se diga muy amables“

“I decided to order some Tonkatsu from Ginkgo Katsu, on a food delivery app based on the good reviews. Thankfully the reviews were on-point this time! The Katsu arrived in this kind of fancy, big box with the meal in different sections - the Tonkatsu, rice, cabbage salad, Katsu sauce; then separately was the curry sauce (I ordered extra), pickled veggies, dressing. Everything was delicious with generous portions. I would most definitely get a meal from Ginkgo Katsu, again and again“

“If not one of the best sushi 🍣 bars in Southern California or is the best in Southern California if you are ever in the West Covina San Gabriel Valley area it's a must stop and check it out the owner is so sweet and if the same sushi chefs one of the most premier chefs in the business I consider myself a condasuer now in sushi try the Javier roll and for the begginers in trying sushi go for the lobster roll u won't regret it well it will pinch your wallet u Will definitely enjoy the meat“

“Very welcoming, courteous staff, and super varieties of delicious sushi. Will surely come back with 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!“

“This place is incredible. Everything I ordered was amazing; the fish/shellfish was fresh and cooked perfectly when applicable, the sauces were great, and the portions and pricing are beyond reasonable. I’ll definitely be coming here frequently.“

“Have been coming to Sushi & Roll for a couple of months. My son and i love the sashimi, Sapporo, and rainbow rolls. My wife and sister enjoy the gyoza, baked salmon, and chiken karagi. There services is real good and attentive. Great family restaurant. I have only eaten here but see that they get a lot of phone orders togo. Highly recommended coming here“

“I used to come here regularly and my first visit was back in 2001. The food and service has always been great. Mimi had quite the personality and perhaps some might've thought she was rude but I loved the character that she added. I'm not sure if she's still there but I know today I saw Yohan who has always been the most lovely pleasant server ever. I've heard some people tell me that it isn't the same and it has fallen down hill but today I went in with my father and I still enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. These are the THE BEST California rolls I've ever had. You can't beat the price on the quality of these rolls. Thank you for still making food I enjoy.“

“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.“

“Read my post it's the best around“

“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.“

“Friendly waters and comfortable setting“

“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.

“Very good tasting experience! The food they provided is defintaly totally worth the price, and the boss are always very kind, they've share a lot interesting story with us. When you got time definitely should give a try!!! BTW, it's also pet friendly, they'll assign a place close to the front gate which will allow you to bring your pets and not bother other customer.“

“nice little place... friendly staff... good food.“

“Everything here was sooo yummy! The sushi was super fresh, full of flavor, and honestly some of the best I’ve had in a while. You can tell they use really good ingredients, and the rolls were put together perfectly. The sea urchin was delicious!!

The service was amazing too, the owner was soooo sweet, friendly and funny! The absolute sweetest, highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The Kobe stakes is so testy . Assassins was as“

“Excellent foods and excellent service every time“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It's a hole-in-the-wall kind of place, no fancies. But the food is the star here. I usually have the rich Japanese curry with a side of breaded chicken. My 9 year old is infatuated with the humongous kid meal, and we usually get a sandwich to go. Price is right, and people are friendly without frills. It's a regular on out list.“

“ok I was craving Cali rolls but my usual spot wasn't taking orders at the time on Uber eats. so I looked for another spot. I settled on this one because they had some good deals going plus the Cali rolls looked really tasty in the pic lol. I got 2 orders Cali rolls and a yellowtail roll. I also asked for teriyaki or eel sauce on side . everything was fresh and when I say the avocado and meat melted in my mouth .. it was so amazing . I will definitely be ordering again and trying some other rolls my fave. yellow tal isn't my favorite for sushi but I'm glad I tried it and it was very fresh .

ps.. I poured sauce on the rolls they didn't come like that lol one pic is the yellowtail roll and other is all the rolls together .“

“Thank you again Sanyo staff for being AMAZING to my special needs daughter!! Thank you for being great to us!!!! And thank you for giving us a safe place for our baby after another place threw us out because she was having a hard moment. You guys accommodating us made my heart happy even though i cried outside!! All i have is thank you for making a family with a special needs child feel welcomed. Your staff is the MVP thank you!!“

“I originally went next door to the pita to go place and after standing inside the dark restaurant for 7 minutes a rude guy came out and was so rude I wasn’t going to spend my hard earned money inside this establishment so I went next door to wasabi n roll “sushi “ and I’m so glad I did… I ordered the bento #1 beef and it was soooo amazing and what was even more amazing was the customer service and the cleanliness of this establishment. I’m actually back again for the 2nd time this week lol“

“Great customer service, fresh food and a local spot!“

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

“this place is bomb.!! and the service is incredible..“

“Excellent food and superb service. I give them a 10/10!!!“

“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.“

“Have been coming here since the 80s, always have Excellent sushi 🤟👊👊“

“Wife and I have been coming here and their previous location in Chino Hills for 14 years. It's consistently the best shabu place around. I recommend the ribeye with house for the first time diners. It's what we always get and never regret it.“

“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! 🙌🏽🫶🏽“

“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.“

“I recommended to all my friend come enjoy here. very good delelicious Hot Pot great service all servers veri nice and kind“

“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.“
