This is our go-to local sushi spot. It's a small place, but it's always packed -- for a good…read morereason. The sushi is consistently fresh and delicious, and the Japanese side dishes are very authentic. You can really tell they care about quality, not gimmicks. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, which makes it an amazing value. If you're looking for great sushi without the hype or inflated prices, this place is a must try. Highly recommended!

Wow, I came here Friday night around 8:30 PM with two friends and we had such a lovely time. It was…read moreour first visit and we instantly loved it, especially the sweet elderly ladies who served us. Huge thank you to Yumi, who was an absolute angel and made us feel so welcome (like we were her grandchildren and wanted us to stay). The food was genuinely great quality and the portions were way more filling than expected. At first, I thought we hadn't ordered enough and i was mentally prepared to order more... but by the end, we were so full. Truly a lovely experience. They also give you complimentary edamame and cucumber salad, which was such a nice little bonus before the main event. One of my friends ordered the chirashi bowl and it looked like a bouquet of all kinds of fish. We also got the chef's assorted sashimi (amazing assortment) the ankimo special (SO good), and the 4 piece hand roll special (could probably skip this one and save stomach space). For nigiri, we ordered uni, toro, tai, and yellowtail (all amazing.) The uni was especially creamy and delicious. The salmon belly was mesmerizing, the yellowtail belly melts in your mouth and did I mention the ankimo? We also ordered a fish only tempura, and they even gave us our own tempura dipping sauce. It's the small details like that that really make a difference. 10/10, come hungry, leave very full and slightly emotionally attached.

This place is perfect place for sea food lovers at the most reasonable price!…read more Especially, very friendly services making to always welcome and sincerely care for customer's needs. They are professional people who know how to treat the customers. We enjoyed it every time, and it is worth it to even the difficulty of road close to get in there. We recommend this place to everyone who wishes to have fresh and high quality at an affordable price. We greatly appreciated that we could have this kind of restaurant in local.

Dont miss it by pulling into the market plaza, but im sure you may park there. The place is small and not too busy when i visited. They offer a physical menu with limited selections, along with a QR code on the wall to scan that includes additional dishes. Before we even ordered, they quickly brought out complimentary salad, miso soup, and steamed edamame. What a nice surprise! Uni Rice Bowl was listed as market price but was very reasonably priced . It had about 4-5 pieces of uni, served in a very presentable sea urchin shell. It was light and very good. I can never pass up uni when it's on the menu! We also ordered some rolls, a variety of sushi , and toro sashimi. They do prepare sushi with a lot of rice, but I loved that they generously portion with large pieces of fish along with it. The fish was fresh and were great quality. Oh and free yummy green tea icecream to end our meal too!

Everything here--from the quality and cuts of fish to the service and ambiance--is a perfect 10/10…read more I ordered the premium chirashi, which includes sweet shrimp, and they even let you choose whether to have the shrimp head fried or added to your miso soup. While it's on the pricier side for sushi, it's absolutely worth it. This is still my favorite chirashi bowl to date.

Ambiance: Dim environment, what some would describe as trying to have an elevated sushi experience…read more Service: the fastest I have ever seen. If you are coming for a quick lunch this is the place. Food: It is excellent for the price. You get so much fish and the portions are incredible. Other than that it is not the best. The cuts of fish can be done by anyone with a knife. It felt more like just eating blocks of fish than sushi. Flavors of everything felt Americanized as well.

A small and unassuming restaurant located in Diamond Bar. We came on a Friday afternoon shortly…read moreafter opening and the restaurant was already quite busy with a wait of about 20 minutes. I ordered their "Sushi and Sashimi Combination" from their Lunch Special menu which came with 6 pieces of sushi, sashimi and a half order of a tuna cut roll. The combination plate is very reasonably priced especially for the quality of fish which was fresh and delicious. The lunch special combo also comes with a bowl of miso soup and salad so you definitely get good value for the price. Service is standard, and there is a decent amount parking within the plaza.

I'm honestly really disappointed with my experience at Makomae…read more We were seated for about 15 minutes and no one even brought us water. We tried waving at our server multiple times, but she just kept ignoring us. Meanwhile, other tables who were seated after us were already getting their drinks and food. There are only about 7 tables and 3 servers, so it really shouldn't be this difficult to at least serve water. I eventually had to walk to the kitchen myself just to ask for it. Even then, no one came to check on us for another 10 minutes. When the server finally took our order, we politely asked why it took so long and why other tables were being served before us. She completely ignored the question and didn't respond at all, the attitude was incredibly rude. This level of service is unacceptable. I will not be coming back.

can't believe I only just tried Kyala for the first time this year!!…read more I've been once for lunch and once for dinner happy hour time. The portions are perfect, and the service is amazing! I love the cozy intimate vibe, it's great for small groups or date night. my favorites have been the nigiri sushi (the lunch set is delicious), and the Kama karaage is cooked to perfection with a generous portion. I'll definitely be back soon~

I think I came in with too high of expectations given the reviews. I thought it was just ok…read more Definitely a good amount of food for the price, especially the bento combo, but I was not wowed. I still enjoyed my meal and the service was very friendly and attentive with my water getting refilled several times. The fried food was nice and lightly crispy. The salmon collar was tender and a large piece. The baked lobster roll was too sweet with too much mayo. The sashimi and California rolls left a lot to be desired. Maybe it's because these are just the items that came included in a combo, and maybe it's because I didn't order the right things...but I wasn't too impressed given all the reviews about how this is the best Japanese food that needs to be discovered. I may be too spoiled by the higher quality sushi in South OC but to me the quality is more of a 3.5...but I rounded up.

Food 4/5 - Ordered sweet pork ribs, Okinawa sashimi and bento with mixed tempura/eel avocado roll…read more The ribs were delicious, as it almost perfectly falls off the bone as you bite into it, and the glaze sauce gives a little spice. By the time the ribs got to our table, it had cooled down enough to slightly tender. Okinawa sashimi was very fresh, with massive cuts of each variety of fish, definitely the highlight of our meal. The bento with mixed tempura/ eel avocado roll was good. The tempura had a nice batter fry with no excess oil. Miso soups were good but can be served hotter. Price $$ - Price is fair with the portions that are served. Service 5/5 - There were big parties during our visit, and our server did their best to attend to us. We did have to remind our server for drink refills after they were notified. Due to the long wait of other table orders, we were comped miso soups and discounted appetizers without asking, definitely a nice gesture. Ambiance 5/5 - Interior is well decorated and invites you to look at all the detailing, like a mini-step into Japan. Overall - Had a pleasant experience and would visit again.

Tried their garlic noodles today and OMG! Super flavorful it's a must if you're a fan of garlic and butter! The reason for 4 stars is because their calamari isn't the same as before. Not crispy at all, hardly any breading, and too chewy. Probably won't be ordering it again.

Once you sit, you will receive a Kabocha soup (squash soup) - so delicious in my opinion, but I know some people don't love it. The restaurant does have an ordering pad to make orders flow quickly if it gets busy, and the food does come out in a timely manner. Also note the restaurant has Happy hour Mon - Thurs all day and does not make Salmon Kama on Sundays. For starters, my party ordered the beef gyoza and the agadashi tofu. Both appetizers were yummy - the gyoza was hot and crispy and the agadashi tofu was hot and flavorful. I ordered Unaju, which was eel over rice. It was good and would say its pretty standard for an unagi order which is teriyaki sauce over the eel. My party also got 2 rolls which were tasty and 2 bento orders. The bento orders are very good and a good deal with a choice of 2 or 3 items. The sushi/sashimi is next on the list to try! Overall great experience at Kamon and would return.

Came here with my sister after a little shopping day because she was craving sushi for her…read morebirthday, and honestly this place ended up being such a good experience. The happy hour specials are phenomenal and probably one of the biggest reasons I'll definitely be coming back because the value for what you get is actually really good. On top of that, the customer service was amazing. Jared was super attentive and kind, and the other gentleman helping us was also incredibly welcoming and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. My sister barely eats these days because she's on Ozempic, so we honestly didn't expect her to eat much, but she LOVED the food. I loved it too. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling overly heavy. What really made the experience memorable though was how they went out of their way for her birthday. They sang happy birthday to her, brought out a birthday hat, and made her feel celebrated without us even really expecting anything. Usually we're too shy to ask for birthday celebrations at restaurants, so the fact that they did it on their own made it feel extra special and honestly made her night. The only reason I'm mentioning this is because I think it's something that could easily improve an already great experience, but there was a noticeable smell inside the restaurant that seemed like maybe a ventilation issue. If it wasn't for how good the food and service were, this probably would've been a four star experience for me. But the staff really went above and beyond and the overall experience was still worth five stars. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

You can tell they use solid ingredients, especially with the fish. They have a lot of sushi options, plus lunch specials and combo plates which are actually really filling for the price. Definitely a good spot if you want variety without spending too much. One of my favorite parts was the drinks -- I tried a matcha IPA for the first time and it was actually really good. They also have fun Asian-inspired cocktails with flavors like soju, ube, honeydew, and matcha, which makes it feel a little more unique than your typical sushi spot. Service was good and the place itself is clean and pretty spacious. Overall, it's not a super high-end sushi restaurant, but for a casual American-Japanese spot, it's really solid. I'd definitely come back.

Came here with friends who recommended the place. We…read moreordered the 4 person bada special. The oysters were sweet and plump. The agedashi tofu and cheese corn were ok and yummy. We added a 6 count of oysters : they too were sweet and tasted like the ocean. However; when the boat was delivered by John: with the salmon, halibut, flounder, yellow tail and toro...it was impressive. The cuts were very generous abs the fish melted. What was really nice was that John and Michelle taught us how to eat the fish the Korean way wrapped in perilla leaf, ssamjang, slice of garlic and slice of jalapeño...that flavor blew my taste buds away like bossam but much milder. Then came the uni ....just perfect; sweet and salty and creamy. Then the uni rice ...was getting full. Then the congee or juk came out what a perfect ending to the dinner. The place is decorated simply but the service from John and Michelle made us feel like we were at their house and they were so inviting and charming; a very memorable meal. Sorry about finishing all the makegolli that they had. I will return again.

The small plaza tends to get busy during dinner time but there are parking available. This is a small size restaurant but still has nice clean and modern setting. We were a party of two and did a sashimi combo for two. Food was fresh and delicious. The portion was perfect for two. I was really amazed. The fish soup tied it really well at the end of the meal. Service was really great. Owner was very friendly and hospitality was top notch. Would recommend this restaurant for a great meal with no fuss. Great for friends gathering, family meal or a nice casual meal.
