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.

Got the baked green mussels but these were baked, just warmed up almost.

All very kind and friendly! Thank you Heemo Sushi!!! Definetly a great spot to dining with friends and family.

Stopped by Heemo Sushi in Chino Hills for lunch this past Sunday. The restaurant is very spacious…read morewith plenty of seating at both the sushi counter and tables. 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.

We went here for date night. My wife and I enjoyed the dinner very much. I got the chefs choice…read moresashimi platter and they allowed me to specify no fatty pieces. I was wanting leaner protein. My wife got some sushi 8pc sushi and we shared a gyoza. They brought us out two gyoza and said one was in the house. Bad for my macros but delicious and appreciated!! We also shared a bottle of sake and instead of having dessert we got the seared waygu (I'm not a huge dessert fan and my wife indulged me!) and it was delicious. All in all dinner was fantastic and we will definitely be back! There was also multiple birthdays. 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!

Working close by this week, and want to try a new place. This place did not disappoint. I got spicy…read moremiso soup, and the sashimi platter. The spicy miso soup was really good, and came with shrimp, but it had no tofu in it. I've never had miso soup with no tofu in it. But if it's on purpose, I guess that's OK. The salad was really good, some type of peanut dressing. And I believe there was fresh grated wasabi on the tuna that came with the sashimi platter. Very good. I also got a nigori sake. Nigori style is unfiltered, you shake it up before you drink it. It is the cheapest of the sake's, but it's also my favorite so that's great. Service was quick, and amazing. And the place is very clean. I'll be back.

The service was good but there was a little bit of a language barrier. They do not have gluten free soy sauce, but I carry my own so it worked out.

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

An updated review is looong overdue…read more Ojiya has been a family staple. This is our go to spot when we want miso sea bass. My go to order is their three item combo- chicken teriyaki (basic I know but I always pack it for lunch), miso sea bass (because it's absolute perfection), and their crunch roll (no avocado since I tend to eat it for dinner and detest brown avocado). So yes, I basically order this huge meal to spread it out into three meals. The up charge for the miso sea bass is worth it! Don't even think twice. The sea bass is packed with flavor and melts in your mouth. My go to salad dressing is their miso, it's pretty darn good. Service has improved a ton, though they do get busy so I tend to get there right at opening. I love that I still see the same servers from when I first came here a little over ten years ago. Ambiance is rather cozy and warm. I like that it's a nice, intimate restaurant. If you're in the area, I would highly recommend Ojiya!

It's hard to find that perfect price to taste ratio. Portions are big for the price. Came here with my family ordered 4 bentos few appetizers and sashimi plates. The bento boxes are cheap but they get you by adding cost of certain selection such as sashimi etc... I got the pork tonkatsu and the meat was terrible. Bland and dry. I could make that in my sleep at home and it'll taste better. I think the quality of pork they use is poor. Also got the crunch roll and that was okay. Nothing special. Bento boxes at Ojiya was way better, but they're like double the cost. I'd rather pay that than eat here though. Miso soup was good though.

The restaurant is spacious with many tables and booths good for a group a two or more. They share parking with other businesses in the plaza and can get packed. Sometimes, you'll have to park behind the restaurant. You can join their waitlist via Yelp. Average wait time is about 20 mins from our experience. 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.

I would rate this a 4.5, especially for an AYCE in the area. This is the closest AYCE sushi spots…read morenear us and it's been our go-to. Obviously, this isn't super authentic or the best sushi, but for the area, it's our favorite. It used to be busier so we would try to get there before 6:30 pm or there's a wait, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. But the last time we were here on a Friday night, there wasn't a wait. Must be the economy. My son loves this spot because he loved their kids bento box, but he's upgraded now to the kids AYCE and gets 2-3 orders of teriyaki chicken and shrimp tempura. The decor is dark with modern-ish black walls and Japanese inspired murals. The sushi bar is fairly large and there are at least 4-5 tvs showing basketball or baseball games or fish tanks. The wait staff is usually pretty attentive but the last time it was kinda slow, but we had to flag a waitress down to get refills and the check. We love their fusion nigiri - pepper salmon, pepper tuna, garlic albacore! We just wish the rice was less.

4.5 out of 5 stars…read more Dono Sushi is one of my go-to sushi spots in Chino Hills and is a hidden gem. They have all-day happy hour pricing, with HUGE servings and great service. It's a great casual sushi spot, perfect for smaller groups/families. Here is what I recommend ordering when you visit: - Chirashi deluxe, $29.99: this is an AMAZING deal for a chirashi bowl in today's economy. It even has ikura and uni with the assorted sashimi in the bowl. Highly recommend for the price! - Salmon kama (collar), $8.99: this is a HUGE salmon collar portion for the price, and it's absolutely delicious. It takes a little longer for them to make, but is so worth it. - Spectrum roll and salmon lover roll: these are our 2 favorite rolls to order. Spectrum has albacore with crispy fried onions, and salmon lover has is... well, packed with salmon. Miso soup comes with all orders. Service is always extremely friendly and food comes out quickly. Plenty of parking as well. Will be back to visit again soon!

i called in to make sure if they had uni & sweet shrimp & the waitress said theres a new rule which…read moreis 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.

We ordered the spicy tuna roll--freshly made and very good. I also highly recommend trying their lobster roll. My steak was cooked exactly how I requested and paired perfectly with the chicken and flavorful fried rice.
