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.

Super attentive making bang after bang amazing nigiri. We ordered so much, The nigiri quality honestly caught us off guard. Everything tasted insanely fresh and buttery and you can tell the fish quality speaks for itself & the sushi sizes wow!! We had toro,yellowtail, scallop, hamachi seared nigiri these especially melted immediately. One of those places where you accidentally keep ordering "just one more plate." Definitely worth sitting at the bar for the full experience & amazing ambiance and service. The list on their Special Menu is definitely a must have!! 1000/100

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.

First of all, the food was ok. Not great, but ok. However, for the price point it's acceptable. We…read moreordered pork tonkatsu, teriyaki salmon, karage and teriyaki chicken and sushi and sashimi lunch. The tonkatsu set comes with rice, salad and miso soup. The pork was over cooked and dried. The katage and teriyaki chicken was ok. The salmon teriyaki has a good portion of salmon. The sushi rice was too hard and the way the fish is cut is sloppy. We've had better at other Japanese restaurants. Like other reviews mentioned, the service is questionable. There were only 2 waitresses for the restaurant. When we sat down, they want us to order everything all together. We later added salmon teriyaki, they took the order, but the waitress was taking to the owner sitting in the back table in Japanese that we are not ordering all at once. Looks like the owner/manager does all the calculations by hand for the check so they don't want people to add on to the order. It's a small restaurant and a bit tight between the tables. Seems like a good amount of regular people come here and pick up to go orders. We are not regulars here so seemed a bit like an outsider.

foods are fresh and yummy. have been here several times…read more I also loved the salmon and the ramen as well. The matcha and strawberry ice cream tastes very good

Friends invited us here for lunch a few days ago…read more They had been looking for a Japanese restaurant since moving to Diamond Bar area. We were warmly welcomed as we entered the restaurant. Interior was contemporary and clean. Great lunch specials offered . All 5 of us ordered the same meal! Sashimi and sushi roll combo for everyone and was enhanced with meat bento lunch * order the fresh house made horseradish side ! ( extra$ but with it ! ) Waitress was attentive and pleasant . Overall, a great new restaurant to try . They opened in January 2026. Please enjoy the pics of our meal.

In the search of a new Friday date-night spot, my husband and I came across chubby curry on Yelp…read morerecommendations. We both have never tried Japanese style curry and the pictures looked absolutely delicious. Located in the busy downtown Covina area nightlife is loud and busy, in a good way! If you're looking to park near the restaurant, come with plenty of time as street parking, especially during the night is hard to come across. Although, they do have a parking structure that's just about a block away, which is not much of a walk! It's a very small restaurant with not much seating, but we didn't have to wait much on a Friday night-15 minutes max but they do have a Yelp sign up. If you know you're coming I recommend you do this. We were seated, and I should mention that the hospitality was amazing! My husband and I were well taken care of and all of our questions answered. Whenever we try a new spot that looks as good as this we try to get a little bit of everything. As you see from the pictures, we had lots to try from and I can safely say that I will be back to try a lot more! The food was super juicy, meats were tender, the sushi was delicious...... I left absolutely stuffed! My husband says this is easily one of his new favorite spots :)

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

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 but very clean place. There are a few seats. I feel it's more for take-out. There are…read moreplenty of parking since it's located in a big plaza. I got the box set of 4 handrolls. They were delicious and the fish were fresh and generous sized. My favorite were the salmon and hamachi. I love the protective film on the seaweed to keep the seaweed crisp. I also appreciate the little squeezable soy sauce. Attention to details is greatly appreciated. I would definitely come back to try their other items.

The quality of the sushi was amazing. I would say it leans towards the pricier side but you can…read moretaste it as well. The fish was soft, buttery and flavorful. The portion was okay but then again i'm American and we like big portions so they could be bigger imo. I also got the Poki Bowl because I was still hungry after my three pieces of sushi but I didn't get a picture. My friend got the Box set of 4 and he equally enjoyed and rated it high as well. I loved the salmon as a salmon connoisseur it melts in your mouth, I wanted the spicy tuna but they were out for the day though the regular tuna was delicious so I am excited to try their spicy tuna, the spicy scallop was nice and my friend got the tempura shrimp and said it was yummy as well. The customer service was very nice! A very sweet lady I forgot to get her name . The inside of the place is a bit small but they have sitting areas outside. Overall I enjoyed what I ordered, the customer service and experience. I would definitely recommend if you like trying new stuff and or enjoy quality sushi and got the coins to spend. I will definitely be back.

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!
