    Another hidden gem. Can't believer there are 2 AYCE sushi places in Chino. Dono Sushi in a welcoming spot for fresh sushi and Japanese comfort food. The menu features a great mix of traditional nigiri, sashimi, and creative specialty rolls, along with hot dishes like ramen and teriyaki. They are similar to Sake 2 Me sushi in that they ahve a discount on their rolls and sushi. However, the best part is that you can order a half roll and still get it 50% price. That's a better way to try many different flavors for a great deal! Top menu highlights include the Rainbow Roll, Tiger Roll, and Dragon Roll, which are not only flavorful but also beautifully presented. All are delicious. The sashimi is fresh and generously cut and the sushi tastes so frech. We got our order to go but can see how busy and popular it is here. The restaurant is clean and inviting, and the staff is attentive without being rushed. Portion sizes are satisfying, and prices are reasonable for the quality. Overall, Dono Sushi in Chino is a reliable spot for both casual sushi nights and a sit-down Japanese meal with friends or family. They also have ice cream that you can order. I got some to go and ate it on the drive home.

    Miso soup

    Just driving by this place and looking for a place to have dinner. I saw the all day happy hour for 50% off. Almost sounds too good to be true. But it's true! Many things on the menu is really half off. (Maybe overpriced to start, but still 1/2 off). Every sushi roll is half off and it's basically 8 piece. It came with a bowl of miso soup. I have the salmon roll and the yellow tail roll. Since the price is so good I ordered another set of salmon roll to go. Place is not that big but enough to fit many customers. I applaud the one server girl who works so hard spinning between tables to serve everyone. I know they're probably understaff. I compliment her that she's doing a good job! Because they're understaff they closed on takeout. Understandable. The sushi roll itself was wrapped not tight. If anything it's the chef's fault. For the price I would come back again.

    My grandson and I are trying out all the sushi spots in the area. Dono is in an easy location with plenty of parking. The vibe is worn down and boring. The gal serving us was nice. Sushi was fresh but nothing overly exciting. We got a rainbow role and eel roll and crunchy scallops. Miso soup was on the house.No drinks, bill was just under $40.

    Kids Dinner

    We stopped by Dono Sushi while at the plaza after seeing their 50% off deal on all sushi and rolls, plus all-day happy hour. It sounded like a great deal, so we decided to give it a try. It was around 2 PM on a Saturday, and the place was pretty quiet, with just a few tables taken. We ordered: Volcano Baked Roll - The roll was pretty small, even with the 50% discount. Unfortunately, the portion didn't feel like much, and the taste was just okay--not bad, but not memorable. I definitely wouldn't order it at full price. Kids Dinner Set - We got the teriyaki chicken, which came with French fries and nicely cut orange. The portion was decent, and my kid liked the teriyaki sauce so much that he ate a bowl of rice with it. However, the chicken itself was super dry and hard to eat. The fries and orange were fine, but the dry chicken was disappointing. Combo (2 Items) - We went with California rolls and mixed tempura. Both were very standard--nothing special, but nothing to complain about either. Overall, the 50% discount made the price reasonable for what we got, but I wouldn't pay full price given the taste and portion sizes. The food was okay, but not enough to make us want to come back anytime soon.

    Energy Roll. Awesome.

    Damn. I've been going here the better part of 20 years and this might've been my last time eating here. The food has lost all flavor and taste. This includes everything we ate. From the knock of sriracha hot sauce to the garlic edamame to the 4 rolls my gf and I ordered. There was no flavor to anything! I liken it to convalescent home sushi... where all the food is tasteless as to not upset the elderly folks' stomachs. I don't know if it's the prep, the chef or if the owners are buying cheaper versions of what they used to buy. Either way, it doesn't matter. I probably won't be going back. My gf said the same thing. The sushi and all that we ordered had no flavor. It's a shame. ** UPDATE** The Day After... Well, me and my girlfriend have been ill overnight and into this morning. We've both had CONSTANT diarrhea with lots of fish oil involved. (Sorry for the semi-graphic description.) The stomach cramps are intense. Looks like my 17 year love affair with Dono Sushi has come to an end. They have great servers and Albert is a good guy and great chef. He always took care of me. I'll miss them.

    Dono sushi is genuinely the best sushi place i've ever had! I've grown up coming here since 2010 and it still is just as tasteful!! The service is amazing and the staff are so friendly! The parking is easy to find and the restaurant has as great atmosphere and the chefs are great and sweet! 10/10

    Had to send this back.
    Zoey M.

    Went in 25 mins before closing. Our server was extremely friendly, she immediately let us know that last call would be coming up shortly. Which was not a problem at all. The restaurant was clean, and would have been inviting if not for the sushi chef who was noticeably upset to see us walk in. The menu was inexpensive, and had lots of options to pick from. Since it was late we kept our order simple. We did get miso soup along with our rolls. Unfortunately after receiving my simple salmon roll, I had to immediately send it back. The way that this role was made was just insane. It was not only falling apart but just completely mushed. As to not further annoy the chef, I declined to order anything else or a replacement. I'm sad I didn't like this place. I would not recommend.

    Bugolgi combination
    Joel S.

    Came with a few friends that recommended this place for lunch today. Tried their bugolgi combination plate. Came with rice, salad, qyoza, and California roll. Also comes with miso soup. $14.99 not bad and they give you a good portion for the price! My friends got lunch 3 item combos and noticed how big the portion sizes were. Good stuff! Our server, Hailey was awesome. We had great service along with our delicious meals. Prices seem very reasonable and they do have happy hour specials! Will be back again to try other menu items in the near future.

    There's always a first for everything, right? Tonight I had my first experience where I got charged $2 extra for asking to change my spicy salmon roll to NON spicy salmon roll. They said because they put more salmon in it. Hmmm, okay. It's very bizarre to me, also they didn't notice me in advance. It's not about the $2, it's about the notification if you need to charge your customer extra. That's not cool at all. The food is mediocre, and took a while for our food to come, and there were only us and another table at the restaurant. Overall experience 3 out of 5. Definitely not my favorite sushi place in Chino Hills. DONO sushi. Sure, I will DO NO(more) sushi with you.

    Chino's hidden gem! Everyone go try Bengee Sushi!…read more We were in Chino over the weekend for some board games and randomly searched for a lunch spot nearby. Ended up at Bengee Sushi and... wow. Completely exceeded expectations. I honestly didn't know Chino had such solid Japanese food We both ordered their Lunch Specials -- around $25 each, which is such a great deal. Since I'm not a big tempura person, we skipped the bento boxes and went straight for the good stuff. We got one Chirashi Bowl, and the moment it came out we were shocked. So much sashimi! Thick cuts, super fresh, and none of that fishy leftover-trim vibe. The sushi rice underneath was really good too -- not overly sweet or sour, just balanced. The other dish we ordered was the Sashimi Lunch, and again, super generous portion with way more variety than I expected. No shortcuts, no skimping. It also comes with miso soup and salad, both clean and tasty. We added hot tea, which hit the spot on a colder day. That feeling of "randomly picking a place and accidentally finding a great spot" is honestly unmatched They also offer a $79 omakase, plus a more premium $135 one (reservation required). After seeing how generous they are with their lunch portions, I'm definitely coming back for that next time. In short: amazing value. If you love sashimi and find yourself in Chino, this place is absolutely worth the visit.

It wasn't very busy when we arrived--just a couple of other tables--so we were seated immediately. While they seem to have a massive selection of rolls (likely their specialty), we were in the mood for hot food. We ordered the Yaki Beef Udon and the Teriyaki Beef Bento set. A nice feature is that you can upgrade to a combo for an extra $10, which lets you choose between California rolls or tempura. The food was decent, though we found both dishes to be a bit on the salty and greasy side. One thing to note is that unlike most Japanese restaurants that provide complimentary hot tea, they charge $3.50 per person here for green tea. The service was okay--the servers weren't particularly warm or friendly, but they were attentive enough and came over whenever we needed something. I'd probably come back again just to try the rolls since that seems to be their main focus, but I'll skip the hot kitchen items next time.

They have Lunch (open-3pm), Dinner (3pm-close), Fri-Sun & holidays, Kids, and Premium AYCE options. What I appreciate about their sushi menu is that each order comes with one piece to avoid wasting food. Our favorite items to order are everything from the premium menu, Smoked Salmon, Ikura, Cajun Yellowtail, Cajun Salmon, Salmon Skin Salad, Rolly Polly, and Salmon Skin Skewer. If I had to pick just one from this list, it would be the Cajun Salmon. I cannot have enough of it. It's so fresh, silky, and has that perfect hint of smokiness. Their fish to rice ratio is less rice, more fish. The staff are all attentive and friendly. If it's your first time, they'll explain the menu and how to order. You also have a 90 min time limit. Overall, I have had a great experience each time and will continue to dine here.
