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

Just recently found out about this place. Really good sushi and good prices, probably the only bad thing about it is that it's right behind my house so it's hard to resist the temptation lol. This will definitely be my go to sushi spot! read more

This place is a gem. Great food, great drinks, and great atmosphere. Defiantly best sushi spot in Glendora.

This is THE place to go for sushi. I've never had better sushi in my entire life. Some people might whine and complain saying that food takes too long to come out but the only reason that might be the case is because they take their time to insure that every plate you get is perfect. That kind of attention to detail is so rare today and I really appreciate it. If you've got a sliver of patience and looking for some amazing sushi then this is the place. This is the hill I will die on. read more

Great food call in before for the food cause everyone goes here!! Also my family comes here's once a week tthey are savages read more

Anaba Sushi - Outside Anaba sushi - Japanese Near Me - Glendora, California

Very small place but I loved it. Came here on a Saturday night at about 9:30pm with my friend. Homare Yuzu sake, oyster shooter, seaweed salad and an assortment of rolls. Server-recommended sushi was delicious. There were three other couples there while we dined and the place seemed full. They played my jams and the service was great. This is a hidden gem. read more

Amazing delicious sushi!!! The best in SGV for sure!! The quality of the fish is super super fresh. I can tell that the chef really take pride of every dishes he made which is rare in todays world. Me and my girlfriend come here at least once a week, we really enjoy the sushi and atmosphere. It is very cute and cozy. The food can take a while because Richie is the only chef but who cares just enjoy your family or partner while waiting for delicious sushi. This is a hidden gem. If you are in Glendora you must try and experience for yourself. So many people drive far away to dine at this place.I feel very lucky to have this restaurant so close to my home. Thank you Anaba you guys are the best!!! read more

We ordered the bento boxes, a roll and scallop sushi, everything came out good. Waiting time was minimal. Attentive server. Will definitely go back again! It's true to its name "Anaba"! read more

This is the best sushi I've ever had. The owners are very friendly and go out of their way to make you have a great experience, I highly recommend this place! read more

So so good! Super fresh and absolutely delicious. Be sure to get there early cause it gets busy fast! Small, quaint place with 90 r&b music playing every time. The best vibe read more

Hidden gem. I definitely don't mind the wait and definitely will return. Richie provides quality service every time I've came. I enjoy watching his art when he's cutting the sushi. Very generous man as well! It's also really reasonably affordable. Thanks for having us... See you again! Updated review: Only because I haven't came back in years but... I wanted to share that this place is still hands down the best and fresh sushi place I've ever been to in SoCal. It's a hidden gem and my fiancé and I love it sooo much. Thanks Richie for always providing us with fresh. Btw for those complaining about the wait for their food, there only one sushi chef because he doesn't trust anyone else to do it... quality is really important. So be patient. There are really loyal customers that come here because of the quality and the personable experience... so if you're not patient and want ayce sushi, go somewhere else. We love this place, we'll eat on your behalf! read more

Horrible experience. I don't understand how this place got 4.5 stars. Server was defensive to serve customer. She just asked mandatory questions but I didn't think she was willing to help. Also when she brings food, she dropped them on next table, not our side so I had to pick it up myself every time. Plain Udon - Not worth at all. Just soup and noodle. I thought it was made by true udon master. but the truth is - Market Japanese udon without any piece of garnish. Legend Roll - Muddy and sour. I don't want to eat ever after. Trouble Maker - I think their rice has problem. MUDDY!! It is crunchy roll but still MUDDY!! read more

I like this place but yelp says it opens at 5pm and we are outside waiting. It's now 20 mins passed 5pm still no one inside. The door is locked and no one is picking up the phone. There's no hours of operation shown anywhere. Today is a Saturday, not even a random week day. What's going on? read more

Anaba Sushi - Waiting.... yelp says it opens at 5pm. No one here. No one picks up the phone. AND it's a Saturday? No sign of the hours. - Japanese Near Me - Glendora, California

went with family last night. it was busy when it opened. i understand it's a small place with one person taking and providing food and one sushi maker. we ordered the bento beef and it was very bland. the black snapper carpaccio i believe it's called. the sauce was not very tasty the uni was very fresh and roll that we ordered was good. we were there for almost two hours and service was very slow. we could have ordered more but it took soooo long. it's our last time there. read more

Still operating during Stay at home orders. Placed my order over the phone and 40 min later it was ready. Please help support them during these tough times. I need them around post COVID life! I'd comment on the quality of the food but ya'll already know it's the bomb. read more

The best Sushi in Glendora . The food is always fresh and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Oh man.... was I surprised about this place!!!! Anaba Sushi is located in a sad and lonely plaza where the only other restaurant is a Chinese budget restaurant. When I first drove into the plaza, I was very skeptical about this place, and was debating if I should go in or not. However, since this place only opens in the evening (5:30 - 9:30pm) it must mean something. When you walk into the restaurant, it gives you a nice comfortable feeling and in the cozy side. The entire dining room is well-decorated with Japanese decor. Looking through the menu, I see they have a large selection of Rolls, and also a good variety of Nigiri and Sashimi combinations. Be sure to try their Glendora Roll; it is extremely tasty and the best part is the sauce it comes with is not sweet like many other places that only use Sweet Sauce on their rolls. You get to choose which fish you want on top, and the sauce it comes with is excellent with a touch of lime and other ingredients. Their Sashimi Combo fish is very fresh and it really does melt in your mouth. Since I arrived here at 5:30, when they opened, I was seated right away, and during the dinner, I noticed this place filled up pretty quickly. My overall experience here was spectacular. Don't judge a book by it's cover. This plaza does look strange, but once you try their dishes, you will be so glad you came in. Anaba Sushi is great. I will definitely return here. read more

Absolutely the freshest sushi ever! Ive had a lot of sushi lol. But Richie is the best. Melt in your mouth perfection. Amy is so sweet and attentive. Any time i stray away, im disappointed and come back. The best! read more

Best sushi ever! Rich is amazing! All his sushi dishes have so much flavor. I've been going there for years. Highly recommended if your in Covina and want some amazing sushi! read more

Food was good but we arrived at 6 pm and didn't get first item for 45 minutes. It took 2 hours to complete 6 rolls. Service was horrible. I'm sitting in the restaurant right now for 15 minutes waiting for them to process my credit card. 4 people cost $152 + tip, which will be almost nothing due to the lousy service. read more

The best quality in town, I don't mind waiting for my food I just make sure I'm not starving when I go in there so the chef can take his time read more

Wow, my new favorite local sushi spot. Mouth watering. Fresh sushi, melts in your mouth. Sushi sashimi, ono sushi, ebi, unagi... ugh, all of it was honestly so good. Salmon skin roll was so crunchy. Even the miso soup was salty goodness. Good prices as well. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Amazing sushi and excellent & friendly customer service! I've been here several times already and I'm never disappointed. Yesterday, I came in with a party of 4 and we ordered: yellowtail sashimi, salmon basuga, Harry Potter Roll, Incredible Roll (not my fave but still good), Mango Salmon Roll, mackerel sushi, and salmon sushi. Everything was delicious. We ended up spending about $60 per person and it was totally worth it. I'll be back soon! read more

2nd time going. Never impressed... they dont have any Ramen on the menu except for spicy seafood. They got our order wrong not once but twice. And to top it all off we were overcharged for food we didnt order! Closest spot to our house and Im Never going back read more

Having lived in Asia for most of my life, I can safely say that this is the best sushi I've ever had. The decor, service and even the music selection was all great. Will definitely be back. 10/10 read more

My boyfriend and I love Anaba. This is our go to sushi place in the area and are never disappointed. It is a very cute small place, but we have never had an issue with waiting. I love the style and the service and always appreciate the time they put into making the food delicious. Besides the amazing rolls, we have had their katsu chicken and green beans appetizers which are both very satisfying. This is by far the best sushi in Glendora and can be easily missed because it isn't in the most lit-up area, but it is so worth it. read more

Warning!! Please, please reconsider your choice in dining here. I was bamboozled by the Yelp reviews. My fellow yelpers have let me down. I went to this sushi restaurant, thinking I found a hidden gem in Glendora, boy was I mistaken. This is a non-exaggerated account of what happened: Small place (fits 20 people at the most, including sushi bar) Arrived at 7pm- Friday night, 2 adults 1 child 1 sushi chef, and 1 waitress, a party of 7 and a party of 2 at the sushi bar We waited 10-15 mins to order DRINKS, by that time, I had already wrote out my order on the ordering sheet We order several sashimi platters and 1 entree (from kitchen) A few more parties of 2 and 3 walked in around 7:30pm It was 8:05 when we received our MISO SOUP and EDAMAME 8:30 (1 1/2 hours later), we receive 1 of our orders (yellowtail carpaccio) -Mind you- party of 7 was there before us, and received their first order along with ours. By 9:30 (2 1/2 hours later), we received our last plate of food (all of which was ordered at 7:15). Crazy-- that's all I can say. Sushi chef behind? Yes, clearly..... then hire a 2nd one.. sigh. Oh.. quality? Didn't taste fresh, and was butchered, clearly chef was in a rush. I didn't care to even wait for our food any longer, as each dish was served 20-30 mins apart from each other. Please choose another restaurant to dine at. read more

Love love love.. Try all the special nigiri sooo damn good!! Just ask Richie for omakase style he will hook you up just be good to him you are in a good hand , damn richie you sauce so good!! Keep it up guys!! read more

Anaba Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Glendora, California

My husband and I used to stop at this little sushi joint once in awhile when it was Fusion Sushi 313. When it closed we were a little bummed out, especially since our other local sushi spot, Tokyo Bay, closed around the same time. Fear not, Anaba Sushi is here. To get you started, they have 52, count 'em, 52 rolls to choose from. At least four of them are rice-free options, if you're watching your carbs (which I often am). Creative appetizers, salads, and sushi dishes. Anaba Sushi earned that elusive "5th star" in my book after I ordered the Hawaiian Poke salad. Poke Tuna on the mainland just doesn't match Hawaiian standards, in quality or size. Anaba was generous in their portions- and delicious. I know where I'll be getting my Poke fix on the mainland! read more

Amazing sushi! We don't order rolls we just go nigiri. Salmon yellow tail ahi are amazing. What's even better is the belly of all these fish if you are lucky enough to go when they have it. Our favorite might just be kampachi. Separate paragraph for this ! This is the only place that I know of that uses FRESH wasabi ! Seriously the only places that do that are high end omakase sushi places in high end markets. Richie and Margaret are awesome! They remember their patrons and remember what we like to order. Who does that ? read more

Fake reviews !!!! Don't believe the most recent bad reviews claiming they came and it's not the same as the restaurant in Oxnard ... First of all , you can't steal someone's recipe ... every sushi bar has spicy tuna rolls etc . Second , the sushi bar has been closed for 3 weeks due to an emergency ... My husband and I are huge sushi snobs . We go to Nobu and other high end sushi places . Richies (Anaba Sushi) sushi is the best quality . It's so good . So worth the price and wait . Can't wait till the reopen . read more

This place is hands down the best quality sushi place in California. I'm hoping they open back up soon. Hope Richie is doing well.

BEST SUSHI OF ALL TIME!!! My god parents invited me and my husband for dinner. The fish was fresh and all the unique flavors set this sushi restaurant apart from any other. Definitely recommend! read more
