8 Best Japanese Restaurants near Yucaipa

“For starters, the staff is amazing. Not once did my drinks not get refilled. Staff is always on point. Sushi chef's are amazing. They deliver quality, tasty savory food. Highly recommend the Monkey Balls and Lemon Tree!“

“A restaurant we stopped by on the way from LA to the Grand Canyon! Maybe it's a local restaurant, but there are a lot of local customers. The store is clean and the raw fish is fresh, so it seems like a good place to stop by while traveling.“

“Was a little slow but could be a lack of chefs on shift during my visit. Had BBQ pork ramen and I would give it a 7/10 for American Ramen. When compared to Ramen in Japan it's a 3/10. Is it worth it? I'd say yes, I enjoyed it. Would eat again.

Dining area is small. 5 full booths, 2 half booths and 3 tables with chairs.“

“Without a doubt this is the best sushi I’ve had in the IE! The ingredients were utterly fresh and everything melted in our mouths!
They’ve got a great selection of beers, Sapporo, Kirin Ichiban, Orion and Asahi, and a dozen or so delicious rolls to choose from!
Our favorite was the yellow tale, it was the most simple roll we ordered, which let the flavor of the fish shine. But everything was excellent!
The staff is so friendly, patient, and genuinely nice. The whole experience from start to finish was perfect. I’m already looking forward to returning!“

“Really good sushi house, the fish was fresh and delicious. The servers were not very attentive, but not so much so that it made it a bad experience. Just maybe if they had more clearly defined roles. Like this person was getting the drinks, this person picked up your order, etc. We kept having people come to the table and ask the same thing as someone else just asked. But in my opinion that isnt always a bad thing.“

“This place is a-mazing! As we walked in we were immediately welcomed by friendly staff and were seated quickly. We ordered an array of unique and amazingly delicious sushi. This sushi chef has been here for over 30 years making delicious delicacies. You can immediately tell the love and care put into each dish. They are works of art. Wow. If I could, I would leave 10 stars. This is truly a hidden gem. They also gave us a complimentary dish, which was just a huge bonus. I highly recommend eating here and bringing your family. Also, the volcano roll was on point. Thank you again to the wonderful owners here. They are very kind people.“

“We just had dinner at this location. 1st off, the young guy cashier, who took our order was very friendly , good job! We ordered two katsus, one regular and a mini. Everything good in our food, except that there were chicken fat and we didn’t like it. Kinda gross flavor, sorry. My husband had to let them know, the manager i should say, coz she was wearing different color of shirt, she immediately fixed the issue with no problem, we appreciate that a lot, very friendly lady, thank you for that as well. Thank you for the love, especially today, we were feeling down coz tomorrow my baby boy would’ve turned 18 but unfortunately he is now in heaven. Once again, MAHALO! A hui hou kakou!“

“Great rolls, pleasant spacious restaurant, and polite staff. This is our favorite local sushi spot!“
