“Best sushi in Upland Highly recommend“

“This place is so INSALEY delicious! You can tell they take care with every option you choose to order. My server Susan was VERY kind and attentive. My food was prepared BEAUTIFULLY, and absolutely delicious!!! I'm definitely coming back here. Thank You to the chefs and to Susan ❤“

“One of my family's favorite sushi restaurants! Sushi is always fresh and well-balanced in flavor. Tried their cold cha soba and I thought it was pretty good! A nice treat to have on a warm spring or hot summer day. Their fried ice cream is SO. GOOD. too! If you have enough room in your belly after packing in all that sushi, definitely try it out.“

“This place was great. I love the fact that the AYCE sushi was not a rice buffet with a little fish. Took my coworker here for a nice lunch and enjoyed the food. Easy to order with the phone app, no need to try and out it all on a paper menu. They informed us there was a 90 minute limit and I can't image eating sushi for 90 minutes straight. The selection was great and the quality was awesome, it just felt like it melted in your mouth. Will be bringing the wife and friend her next week.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had such a great experience at Yoshinoya! The food was absolutely delicious and served nice and hot, which I really appreciated. The portions were very generous—filled all the way to the top with plenty of meat. I wouldn’t mind just a little more teriyaki sauce and a few extra carrots, but overall everything tasted amazing.

The tempura shrimp was fried to perfection—crispy and flavorful—and the clam chowder soup was surprisingly delicious with big, hearty pieces of clam. Definitely exceeded my expectations!

What really stood out to me was how clean and peaceful the restaurant is. It’s much quieter compared to the Garey location, making it a perfect spot to relax, get some paperwork done, or enjoy some alone time after dropping off the kids. They also offer plenty of condiments, which is always a plus.

I didn’t try the boba yet, but they have a great selection that I’ll definitely come back for next time. today had a chance to try the Tokyo fried chicken. It was so crispy to perfection and Sonia was so nice. Let me try two different sauces the chipotle or Cajun sauce and another teriyaki sauce. It was delicious. She was very accommodating and helped me choose my order for my Twins sensory disorder. All the food was delicious and Cook proportion. I was really kind of her to help me. I appreciate it. Thank you for making Customer Service a satisfaction at this location in Upland.🙏🩷🤩🍗

Honestly, this location is worth the drive—I came all the way from Garey, almost 30 minutes, and it will now be my go-to Yoshinoya. Highly recommend!“

“We came here on a Monday around 2pm. There was no wait and a few tables were taken. The service was good, both our server and the runners were friendly. The selection during lunch was good as well, not too much and not too little. My kids enjoyed this Wagyu Factory in Rancho.

My only issue is that the bathroom was that the bathroom wasn't as clean. And when you have young children it makes things difficult.“

“Had a delicious meal here at Tenmaya!! The quality of fish was excellent, and my favorite piece of the premium sashimi platter was the uni. Very generous portion. Staff is very nice and the playlist is exactly what I wanted while eating japanese food. I'll be back.“

“Was visiting from out of town and decided to pick up food for the family. The service was great and we were able to talk to who I presume was the owner, and he was friendly and patient with us. The food does take time to get but only because everything is made fresh to order. I much rather wait and get freshly prepared food. The food it self was delicious. Very generous portions. I would highly recommend this place. Great environment with amazing food. If you looking for some great teriyaki and delicious Mexican food then come check this place out. Food worth the price. I am definitely coming back and looking forward to enjoying their food again.“

“First time here. Service was excellent! William helped us decide on our order and was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The food is delicious and the presentation was perfect. We had the spicy miso ramen with gyozas and salmon teriyaki with tempura. The gyozas and tempura were perfectly crispy. My husband loved the ramen and he could make it as spicy as he wanted. The miso soup is one of the best I've had. The salmon was excellent and all the sauces were delicious. We will definitely be back!“

“Food is delicious 😋 and service is great 😊 we are going back again soon 😃“

“It was so good worth it y’all!“

“An absolute carnivore paradise!
The quality of the Wagyu beef here is outstanding. Every cut was incredibly tender, juicy, and literally melted in my mouth. The marbling on the beef was beautiful. If you love high-quality meat, this place is heaven. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent foods and excellent service every time“

“The best Asian Cuisine I've had here in Pomona coming from Los Angeles I expect a lot of flavor and just good food which is hard to find here in pomona unless your eating Mexican food. So this is my go to place anytime I'm craving Asian food. You will not be disappointed 😌“

“Excelente food and service“

“Stumbled upon this new little spot by accident and I'm ever so glad that I did! My little guy and I enjoyed a very nice lunch, a very welcoming atmosphere and great food! Servers were so fun, as well as the chef! We will definitely be back!“

“They have a fun Naruto theme with some Dragonball Z mixed in. They have a huge screen that spans length of the sushi bar with theme images appearing.

The service is friendly, attentive for drink refills, and helpful with all other needs.

The chashu in the ramen was delicious. The broth was pretty good, but some of the toppings could have been prepared better. Nevertheless, it was tasty. I also tried a hand roll that was yummy. The fried chicken was pretty good, but it needs a better dipping sauce to accompany it.

If you want to have a good laugh, tell your friends to try and order miso soup with their bowl of ramen.“

“The food was genuinely life changing I plan on coming here often service took a minute or two however its very much worth the wait the rice is very good none of it was dry or half baked rice was also seasoned well the rolls themselves are very thick rolls with alot of filling the drinks were also good the soda tasts better then at other restaurants“

“My husband and I first came here in December 2025. Our dog was having dental surgery in the same plaza and while we were waiting , we walked here to have dinner. The interior is basic and they do have indoor seating. We were really impressed. We tried both the beef and chicken and ordered a crunch roll to share.

Fast forward to today, we've eaten here 3-4 times now and every time has been excellent. My husband has been here one more time than me lol.

The combo comes with soup and either a California roll or spicy tuna. Great to support a small family business.“

“This cafe lives up to its name, Tasty food fast service. Quiet calm atmosphere. Good for small parties couples or eating alone/enjoying a snack and a book at the same time.

They have sake , bottled beers, canned sodas, iced teas and bobba teas. There is a loyalty program and various types of seating from both type to chair&table, couches and counter style (on the north wall side).“

“Service is fast, food is good, price is fair“

“The sushi and sashimi at this restaurant are incredibly fresh. The presentation and tableware are thoughtfully chosen and beautifully done, which I really appreciate. The combo meals are a great value as well. If you live near Chino, I highly recommend giving this place a try!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Truly the perfect hidden gem here in Pomona. Let's me just start of by saying hands down best bowls in all of Pomona and surrounding city's. My favorite is the combo with chiken, beef and meatballs. Yes the meatballs balls are packed with ao much flavor its my favorite protein 100% but dont get me wrong the chiken and beef is absolutely tender and fresh. Service is on point just like the food and you can also call the food in or go thru the drive thru. Thank you“

“Exceptional service. Alyssa was the service. I saw her going from table to table, she still had a smile. How? Not sure. Didn't ask. If you get Alyssa the service, probably will since she was going from table to table, ask her for me will ya? Sushi roll was good too“

“Upscale sushi, pure fresh fish. The art of this place in cuisine is impeccable. You won’t find a better sushi restaurant if you are looking for quality sushi 🍣. Very authentic. We love Kens ♥️🙏🏼“

“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.“

“Like many sushi restaurants this is one is quiet small, gets vey busy on weekends but that's because the sushi rolls, yaki and ramen are so yummy. I have to admit, the yaki could use more flavor but the sushi rolls are my favorite good portions and they give you a 10% discount if you pay in cash“

“Thank you so much for the fresh delicious delivery...#supportlocalbusinessescovid-19“

“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“

“Bengee Sushi was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The fish was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully prepared, and you can really tell that they care about quality and attention to detail.

The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The atmosphere was also comfortable and inviting—perfect for either a casual dinner or a special occasion.

If you’re looking for high-quality sushi and excellent service, Bengee Sushi is definitely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“delicious!! highly recommended.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great experience!! Love the food!!“

“So good and service is very nice 👍🏻👍🏻“

“Got recommended by coworker and been coming here for half a year. Hands down it's one of the best sushi spots I been to. They stay open till midnight so if you work late an want sushi this the place to eat at. The spicy/garlic edemame is delicious and just the right amount of spicy to hit you and still want to keep eating it. Also, the Seoul chicken wings are bomb. Hands down best rolls and I would recommend to anyone is the Citrus Roll. I order everytime I come here. The service is great and the staff is really friendly. They make you feel welcomed. Devina is an excellent server. She always greets us and knows that we get extra ginger, ponzu and Sriracha. Shout out to her, we are always glad to see her. Would recommended“

“BEST sushi ever! So fresh and noticeably better/fresher than other sushi. Loved the blue fin Mmm👅 Chill atmosphere. Perfect place, fast service too with plenty of options. They can make it anyway you want it 👍“

“I absolutely love this place. I’ve been going here for years and the quality has never once dropped. The mango habanero salsa is a must try and everyone is very friendly and welcoming. If you haven’t tried amazing poke you’re missing out!!“

“Cute and cozy spot for some good sushi! The owners are kind as well. ^_^ I came here a couple years ago with my friend for dine in and we loved it. I decided to get some sushi togo and remembered this spot! I got sushi combo #2. It’s so good :) Definitely will come back. I included a pic of what I got and something I thought was cute in the restaurant hehe.“

“My husband and I try not to eat at restaurants often. Even since 2020, we feel the quality of food has gone down, while the prices keep going up. And customer service, more often than not, is lacking. However, we recently went to Wabi Sabi and were beyond impressed. The chef was great, everything was cooked to perfection and the wait staff was phenomenal. Everything tasted delicious and all the employees were so attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“Our 1st coming here and it’s so delicious and fresh. There was a new girl working there that was super nice but was nervous but she did an excellent job with us. Also I think the manager was also nice. The only thing I didn’t like was the tune it tasted and looked weird. Everything else was so delicious.“
