“Third time there tonight. Always delicious!“

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

“I got a Hokkaido bowl. Delicious food, very fresh high quality ingredients, and the owners are super nice. You can tell they are very passionate about their craft, and they care about the quality of their food and the experience of their customers. I highly recommend this place. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Had dinner at Sake 2 Me Sushi and really enjoyed it! We had a good variety of sushi and everything was fresh and tasty. Afterward, we headed over to Bubblicity for some boba on the other side of the plaza. It was a fun way to finish the night!“

“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.“

“Best sushi in Upland Highly recommend“

“I’ve been coming to this place many times, and I finally got a chance to write a review. I have to say, this place is really good! From the food and prices to the service, everything has been great. I’ve always had a good experience here.
The only small complaint I have is about the amount of sauce/toppings on some of the sushi dishes. Some rolls have the perfect amount, while others can be a little too heavy on the sauce. It would be nice if they gave customers the option to choose whether they want sauce/toppings added, or how much they’d like.
Other than that, I really enjoy coming here and would definitely recommend AYCE sushi.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.“

“Excellent foods and excellent service every time“

“It was so good worth it y’all!“

“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!“

“Came in with zero expectations, just wanted to destroy a mountain of food. Surprisingly solid meat quality and selection. Most of the sides were good too, just not the corn & cheese and the golden oyster roll. Those missed.

Service was fine at first, then a wave of people hit and everything slowed down hard. Only two people running the host stand and dining area, so that tracks.

Also found out you can get scoops of ice cream even though it’s not on the menu. Only knew because we saw the table next to us get some. Hidden little win.

Better than expected for a random “feed me” mission.“

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

“I have never been to a restaurant like this.
The food is amazing! Each plate I order always has flavor, the best flavor I've tasted! I swear this place has exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend to come here. Try monkey brain sushi 🍣!“

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

“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 ♥️🙏🏼“

“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!“

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

“It's pricey but that's because the quality is that good. The food was amazing and the chef was a real good host(they cook in front of you). He was very friendly and entertaining even cracking jokes. And on top of that he had an animatronic ratatouille in his hat! So the kids were entertained too. Went for a birthday and the service and overall experience was above and beyond“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place is good! Came in randomly and I left satisfied. The prices here are very reasonable. Great value. I didn't get sesame seeds, don't know if it's an option, but overall the food was still good. I kinda wish they charged a little more and gave more proteins in their meals. I had the chicken and beef combo. Their teriyaki sauce is goof and what you expect it to be. The char is nice on the chicken and the beef was tender. I will be back and I guess I'll ask if extra meat is a thing? Oh and I'll ask for sesame seeds and green onions.“

“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.“

“Excelente food and service“

“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).“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, quick service, and such a great atmosphere! Everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff were friendly and efficient. I really enjoyed the overall vibe of the restaurant as well—it’s a great place to enjoy sushi with friends and family. Definitely highly recommended! 🍣🔥“

“Been trying to find a place with diverse sushi options, reasonable prices and comfortable dining and this place checks all those boxes! Such a cute and cozy place to enjoy some delicious sushi, Emma attended us and was very soft-spoken and friendly she made sure our experience was good as first timers at this restaurant. If you enjoy a peaceful environment like if you’re home this is the place for you! The food and service matches perfectly with the vibe.“

“Please go here at least once in your life. The individual quality of each ingredient is unmatched. The price for the portions is unfathomable. I wanted a rice bowl and ended up with the dinner combination plate. I couldn’t be happier with the service, the atmosphere, and the food.“

“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“

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

“Hands down the one of the best fatty salmon and fatty yellow tails nigiri’s I’ve ever tried this is my go to spot when you want a good really good sushi I would also highly recommend the potstickers which are insanely good 👍🏼“

“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“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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 👍“

“delicious!! highly recommended.“

“Decided to give this place a try today and I am SO GLAD we did! It was amazing! All the staff were so nice, attentive and helpful. The atmosphere was cozy and plenty of room in between tables which I personally enjoy. And of course the most important part - the food! Everything was so delicious and then some! We had the spicy garlic edamame, a
3 item bento box and a few different sushi rolls which were all great prices. Everything was so mouthwatering and then they even gave us a scoop of green tea iced cream to top it all off! Such a wonderful experience all in all and can’t wait to go back!“
