    The food here is so delicious and the variety is amazing if they don't have your sushi, they can customize the kind you want! The prices are unbeatable

    Salmon lover roll. Love this one

    i called in to make sure if they had uni & sweet shrimp & the waitress said theres a new rule which is 2 pieces per person but when we get there the Chef changed the rule during our meal and says its 1 order per table, it seems they made this rule on the whim. So if i had more than 2 people at my table then we would have to share & split the 2 pieces amongst all of us like peasants? i asked the waitress and she confirmed yes we only get 2 pieces per table no matter how many people is at the table. i have never experienced this at a sushi place thats not AYCE not sure if this rule was only for us or its going to be like this but this made me extremely sad because we come here weekly. im really dissapointed.

    Stumbled upon this place by accident, and I'm glad I did. Overall, it's a solid Japanese restaurant with fresh, flavorful food and excellent service. The prices are surprisingly affordable for the quality and portion sizes you receive. The atmosphere has that classic Japanese sushi restaurant feel--comfortable and inviting. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the experience exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely return and would recommend giving this place a try.

    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
    Cecilia C.

    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

    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.

    Had to send this back.

    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.

    Food was ok and service was ok as well!…read more Seemed very rushed to get us in and out, food came out super super quick but tasted that way as well Got the uni udon, it was good! Can't complain. Got the baked green mussels but these were baked, just warmed up almost. The omurice curry plate wasn't good, the curry was super watery and lacking any flavor - the omurice omelette was over cooked and bland as well

    This place is unreal and every time we come here we are blown away with how good it is!…read more This review is long overdue! The rolls are stuffed so big that they can barely fit in your mouth, the fish is incredibly fresh, and the variety is top notch. Some of our favorites include... the sunset, 4 corner, the crunch hand roll, the Cajun yellowtail, the samurai , and the salmon belly. Holy cow the 4 corner roll is our new favorite! What the heck the magical seared Cajun salmon literally melts in your mouth. And because it's Cajun it has those smoky flavors that mesh so well with the sauces. Our eyes were rolling to the back of our heads with this one. Sunset is our go to. Salmon outside and crab inside. Perfection and the bite size portions are huge! The crunch roll was ginormous!!! So good! I was craving a shrimp tempura roll but wanted the nori so this hit the spot. It had shrimp tempura, avocado, and an overflowing amount of crab! We loved the 4 corner roll so much, our server recommend the Cajun yellowtail nigiri.... Insane. The samurai was really good too. Shrimp tempura, crab, and avocado inside and spicy tuna and fried eel outside. The salmon belly was crazy good. I've never tasted salmon so soft and melty. Asha our server was so so amazing! She brought us the salmon belly on the house, she was patient, kind, attentive, and so friendly :) Please do not hesitate to come here when you are craving some good sushi, great service, and the best ambiance!!!! Our favorite hands down!

    i dined here about a month or so ago. service was poor. i…read morewas served FROZEN toro. not at ALL worth the $14/piece pricing. it was so beyond disappointing. but the main point for my review: it seems that there are management issues in this restaurant. during my meal, an employee came in asking for their paycheck. i think the "argument" had something to do with the employee's earned tips as she was demanding to see tip calculations. in response, one of the chefs, i'm assuming the owner and manager of the place, was yelling and seemed to be making threats.. something about sending a lawyer to the employee's house. what was weird was that this was an open argument in the front of the restaurant. everyone, including me, was looking at the both of them. it seemed fishy to me. although i don't know the full situation, it looks really bad that the chef (manager/owner??) was yelling at their employee, to the point where she cried. whatever the situation is, making threats and yelling in public space isn't acceptable. must've been so humiliating and traumatizing for the employee. i didn't bother leaving a tip.. the service wasn't great either. the chef (most likely the owner) seems to be taking advantage of their employees. WILL NOT BE RETURNING. poor food quality and service, but on top of that, terrible management.

The first one the lights went down and party music played and the staff came out with neon lights and a dessert for a table. It was lively and very fun. I think after one the other tables magically had birthdays too bc it happened a few more times. Definitely brought character and a fun vibe to the room but maybe not the best for a quiet meal. We enjoyed it immensely though!
