We came to Anaba Sushi pretty late at night (an hour before closing). They restaurant itself is small and intimate. It was also the perfect setting to have date night with a sleeping newborn ;) We ordered the following: Tamago - I usually don't care so much about tamago (I'll pick a little bit off for taste before passing to the hubby), but you could tell how fresh the tamago was and I left less for the hubby :) Seared Black Pepper Tuna - if you've never tried seared tuna, it's a must. Anaba's seared tuna had a wonderful presentation and it had a great flavor profile Black Snapper Sashimi - amazing! The snapper just melts in your mouth. Definitely get it as an appetizer Super Philly Roll - generous amounts of salmon and they did not skimp on the cream cheese. They probably used a whole brick of cream cheese (a little too much for my preference). Spider-Man Roll - I'm a sucker for tempura soft shell crab and especially inside a roll. This is a go to roll of mine and it was prepared very nicely. Yellowtail & Ono Rolls - for simple rolls, you really can't go wrong with the classics. Both fish quality were very fresh. SERIOUSLY, all of their fish was fresh and worth every penny. If you are looking for a quality sushi restaurant that isn't crazy loud, you must try Anaba!! read more

It's been awhile since I came here. Service is still kinda slow. Sushi Is about 6/10. Ambiance 5/10.

I don't like to try new sushi places because of the raw fish but omg was this a great surprise treat! They were busy and we waited a little but we found out why there was a wait. The food was great! read more

Yes!! Absolutely the best Sushi spot!! In my 20 years of sales, I've entertained a number of Hollywood clients in the Burbank area, so as you can imagine Sushi lunches are a big deal. Well, let me tell you, Anaba is by far one of the best spots I've ever eaten at! Wednesdays and Thursdays are your best opportunity to get a seat at the sushi bar with your host Richie the sushi master! read more

The best sushi in Glendora and nearby cities! I don't consider going anywhere else since we found this gem!

I Don't recommend it The sushi chef / owner Rude and Disrespectful Acting like he doesn't need your money . Instead of thanking you and try to make you happy his moody and Rude . Never again read more

Anaba has been a sushi stable for my husband and myself for the last 3 years since we've moved to Glendora. It's seriously a HIDDEN GEM in the SGV area. Since COVID, we have been ordering take-out from them at least once a month to satisfy our sushi cravings. The fish (salmon belly, yellowtail, and bluefin) is always so fresh--they always have special sashimi offered for the day with my favorite (hotate: jumbo shrimp)! The selection is reasonably priced as well. A small nuisance is to expect the wait time to be longer than normal since it is run by just two people (not sure if they are husband and wife) but they are super friendly! The short wait is definitely worth it :) read more

It's a small place with 4 tables and a sushi bar. My 5 year old loves salmon sashimi and was excited to eat some sushi. Place was busy but once again...there are 4 TABLES!!! We waited an hour for our food and my daughter fell asleep waiting. We cancelled our order and they wanted to charge me for everything. Ridiculous read more

Anaba Sushi - Sushi bar - Japanese Near Me - Glendora, California

We were so hungry and the food was good, so much so, I forgot to take pictures of everything. Well priced, sweet employees, smaller place but def worth the trip. They had a very large selection of rolls and sashimi. They had something on the menu I wanna say it was a tempura type fried mozzarella (basically cheese sticks) which was unexpected but my son absolutely loved them! Would definitely come back and try again. read more

Fantastic food and service. Small interior but was very light crowd . All food came out fresh and everything was amazing. read more

Small and intimate. Came for the first time on valentines day and it was actually too busy that day but I will come again for the food and hopefully a less chaotic service. I am giving it a benefit of the doubt for now and will update again on my next visit. read more

Best sushi in town. I haven't been able to find tuna on crispy rice anywhere but in LA, but Anaba has it and it is delicious! Small place for a sit down, but you can always take out. They also have dine in lunch specials. Worth the wait! read more

Dont forget to order the Bonita sushi if they have it (daily special)! I've never had before but wow was it delicious! Richie also made us a special off-menu snack that had rice, crab meat, spicy tuna, avocado, ponzu, and scallions that was super tasty! read more

Anaba Sushi - Anaba's Specials - Japanese Near Me - Glendora, California

Bomb af, so good I'm sitting here Rn & had to leave a review. just decided it's my favorite & best sushi in California & I drove in from North Hollywood We ordered the Heart breaker for appetizer The hamapeno which was the best yellowtail sashimi Ever & American dragon & Black jack rolls 10/10 read more

Favorite sushi spot in Covina area! Very fresh traditional rolls as well as creative specialty rolls. Cozy atmosphere. My new go to spot.

First off, they're only open for dinner right now and there's always a line but it's totally worth the wait. Every roll is delicious and no matter what combination, the flavors are fresh, innovative and different. This is real sushi made by a sushi chef who knows what he's doing. Here are my favorites: Harry Potter roll is baked crawfish basically on top of a California roll. Lemon roll is spicy tuna with a sliver of lemon, avocado, and fresh tuna on top. (The lemon sounds weird but it's really delicious and fresh) Spicy tuna on crispy rice is exactly what it sounds like, only topped with avocado. read more

This place is small but packs a punch. the food here is amazing. if you don't mind paying for premium sushi then visit this spot. Not a lot of seating l, but thats ok with me, it keeps service a little tighter and more active. Large portions and big cuts of fish. they will make you custom rolls that are not on the menu and have blue fin tuna. read more

Honestly, this is the best sushi I've had in California. So much so that since I've eaten here, I refuse to go anywhere for sushi! They're amazing cool and the sushi speaks for itself. read more

Anaba Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Glendora, California

We found this place on Yelp. Driving by we were like, meh, but when we checked inside there wasn't a strong smell of fish and it looked cool so we decided to give it a try. We...were...not...disappointed. This place is awesome. Try their specials. Even their Miso soup is bomb. I forgot exactly what we ordered but it was blue fin tuna with chimchuri sauce, scallions, and cilantro, it was the best sushi I've ever had. read more

This rating is not for the food, it's for the service. You are in great need of HELP, hire some servers PLEASE! patrons should not have to wait 30 to 45 minutes to be able to pay their bill and leave. Not to mention taking my order and getting it served to me. One server is just NOT the way to treat your customers. read more

Anaba Sushi - Tostada de Anaba .... I could eat this all damn day! - Japanese Near Me - Glendora, California

This place is quaint, intimate and has such a lovely, romantic atmosphere. The food was great and quality was quite nice. My only gripe is that when we went for dinner, they over watered the rice so the sushi rice was mushy. Otherwise, Everything we ordered was good from the seaweed salad and the Karaage to the sushi combo and Negitoro hand rolls. I would come back! read more

O M G !!!! I decided to take my girl out here this evening for a bite to eat after a hard days work and let me tell you it is absolutely breathtaking here the moment you step in. I'd like to give a tremendous shoutout to the chef who not only shows outstanding skill but elegance in every plate he sets to serve. The environment in this small building is spectacular but most importantly ROMANTIC. The food was fresh as fresh can be and more. I will most definitely tell my friends and fellow colleagues about this place and highly recommend it anytime its brought up or spoken about. I cant believe i was lucky enough on a Friday to find a gem such as this one. Thanks again i enjoyed the food and the experience most of all I'll definitely be back for more. read more

This is by far the best sushi in San Gabriel valley. Four seasons roll and golf pro hand roll are our favorites. The sticky fried rice spicy tuna is amazing as well! Rich is an amazing chef. The service is great, everything is pretty clean also. read more

This place is maybe 3.5 stars - good but not great. We came here on a Sunday night around 7:30 and all tables plus bar were full except a two seater. We were 5 and it looked like the two girls next to two seater were almost done. The waitress told us it'd be a 30 minute wait. Was a little over 20. The waitress was nice but she was the ONLY waitress for the entire restaurant. Granted it was a small place with 4-5 tables plus a bar, but still! There was also just ONE sushi chef and what I assume is one chef in the back to cook the hot stuff. We ordered a Kirin beer (they ran out of sapporo), waters all around and edamame to start. One cool thing was we asked if they had kids cups and they said yes. What they brought out were little to go soup bowls filled with water and a straw poked in. That was a nice touch. We got the spicy tuna on crispy rice (eh), the Jessica albacore roll (good but slightly fishy), the Friday Night Happy Roll - really delicious but my sister in law found a fish bone! (Had saw a Yelp review/photo about finding a fish bone before so I guess this is a thing?) Also got the mango salmon was which was tasty. The kids has the chicken udon which they liked but I thought was average. Overall a nice place - weird Chinese/Japanese Decore, nice but slightly slow service and decent but highly priced for what it is sushi. read more

Back in business some time back and just as fresh and tasty as I remember. I've never been disappointed by anything I've ordered at Anaba. Bring a special friend, family, or friends to enjoy good food , Asiago beer, or sake. read more

Great quality! Everything we've tried is amazing. We come in on a regular basis and never disappointed!

By far the best sushi I have ever had! The sushi chef, Richie, is so skilled and so friendly! The flavor combinations are so unique and delicious! On the weekend nights they can be very crowded, but trust me that is a good sign... it is ALWAYS WORTH THE WAIT! The fish is so fresh, it literally melts in your mouth. No wonder they are so crowded sometimes! But if you stop in on a week night, you can get all the flavor and none of the crowds. The BSCA roll topped with cooked scallops, the Hamapeno dish of yellow tail topped with thinly sliced jalapeños all drenched in ponzu, and the 911 roll are my favorites... so far! I want to try everything from Anaba, they are seriously the best around. They have great specials too. I choose Anaba over any other sushi bar any time! read more

So it any first time here, thanks to Yelp! So this place was understaffed took 15 min to get s menu and another 10 to get out order. At this point I was rest to give them a 2 star. But I have to tell you, as soon as I started tasting the Sushi my rating started going up, had the following: UNI Salmon Monk fish liver Blue fin Giant scallop Black snapper All the sushi was delicious and it totally made up for the service. I hope the service was a fluke because I can't wait to come back. read more

This is a small family restaurant. A definition of "hole in the wall". Richie is a wonderful chef. That said, he is the only chef and takes pride in his creations. Don't come here on a busy weekend and expect prompt service. Yes, when it's busy, it takes a little longer to get your dish. Be an adult and enjoy some appetizers and drinks while your sushi is being made. Richie doesn't disappoint. His sushi/sashimi are delicious and fresh. We try to come to this place once a week, usually during a weekday when it's not as busy. Service is excellent all around and we will continue supporting this small business because we need more quality places like this. read more

I've been waiting for 40 mins and I've only gotten water and one soup for the 2 meals I ordered. The place is cute and I guess the staff is nice even though there wasn't any communication? But the wait was way to long. And there wasn't even anyone coming to say sorry for the wait or we are backed up. I had to get up and ask and she said our food was coming. But what seems to be happening is she's bringing literally one piece out of like 3-4 of a meal to us, to keep us here waiting for the rest. No one wanted to let me know that it was going to be longer even though I addressed that the people before us were barely getting food, so how long was it gonna take to get ours? Answer was , "it's coming". That's crap. read more

One of the most flavorful sushi spots, Food was delicious, my pallet was Happy! I appreciate the recommendations from the waitress, and I appreciate her letting us know to continue to come just not on busy nights since it is a small little spot it can get crowded pretty quick. Our service was great, fast & the food came out pretty quick. So maybe try and take that same advice. We enjoyed some sake & beer a couple of rolls. For the quality of the sushi the price matches accordingly, I'm just sad I didn't discover this spot sooner. read more

Best kept secret in Glendora. Everything is delicious! It's pricey but not your run-of-the-mill ayce mayonnaise bath kind of sushi. It's legitimate. They have a vegan roll with mango and pumpkin tempura that is very unique. I almost hate to blab it all out here because I like being able to get a seat. Rich, the owner takes so much pride. He's doing something special here. read more
