I am always looking for good bento boxes in the area and came across Joy Cook Grill. It was pretty easy to find and there was plenty of parking. Inside looked inviting and was very clean. It was my first time here, but I had an idea of what I wanted. I walked in and as I approached the front I greeted the older man at the register and he just stared at me. He was very to the point when taking my order which was great because I was on my lunch break, but it was really difficult to understand what he was saying because he had a mask on. He was asking if I wanted green onion on top and I just couldn't understand him. He had to point at the menu and I finally understood. I placed my order for the chicken and beef lunch bento box and that comes with a side salad, miso soup, 2 fried gyozas and I opted for the 4 piece spicy tuna roll. Price is a little up there, but you get a good amount of food. My order was ready in a decent amount of time and I took it to go. The food itself was very delicious! The chicken and beef were both fresh and made with good quality. I absolutely loved the dressing for the salad and the soup and gyozas were good too. The sushi was maybe my least favorite, but wasn't bad. I ultimately enjoyed everything I ate. I wish my interaction here had gone a little better, but I think that's just because the man's mask made hearing him difficult and he was prob smiling at me and I couldn't tell lol. I will for sure be back though and recommend coming here for some good teriyaki! read more

Food: We absolutely love the food here. The veggies are always cooked to perfection. The chicken is always good chicken. It is made to order so it may take a few minutes for the food to get done but it's worth the wait! Service: We've been here multiple times and each time we have gone here the service has been so great. They are so nice and patient! Answer all questions with respect! Inside: The inside is a decent size. You go up and order then side down and then they will bring the food to you. Outside: They have a lot of parking. It is easy to find. And no outside seating. read more

I stumbled upon this place on yelp when I was looking for a place to eat and I am glad I found it. Tucked away in a plaza in Ontario, this is such a little hole in the wall in my opinion especially when it comes to teriyaki chicken. The workers here are so friendly and the main boss man is so accommodating as well. The food itself is delicious. The chicken is tender, the rice is soft, and the sauce is perfect. They also have combo options which is a bang for your buck! read more

I'm on my second visit, and this place never misses. Definitely superior to the majority of chains, such as Flame Broiler and Waba Grill. The food is always fresh and the staff is really friendly. The restaurant was also clean. I came here for the lunch special, which was a fantastic deal for less than $20. The beef and teriyaki chicken were delicious and not too sweet. The gyoza was well-fried, and the sushi was good. You can only choose between a California roll and a tuna roll, but I wish they had the crunch roll as an option. If you're looking for something quick and high in protein, you should definitely stop by this place. read more

Joy Cook Grill - Lunch special with Spicy Tuna Roll, Miso Soup, Gyoza, Salad, Chicken, and beef. - Japanese Near Me - Ontario, California

Really great flavor & portions! The service was quick, food came out hot and flavorful. They have a very organized method of providing the food and all utensils and sauces needed for to-go orders.. no worries that you won't get what you need. The insides clean and it was pretty quiet when I was there. read more

Wasn't in the mood to cook, I remember driving past and since my partner was in the area I asked her to stop and get a bento to go which was supposed to come with the beef/chicken and rice with sushi, salad, 2pcs fried dumpling, and soup. Thankfully my partner looked in the bag and called me which I then requested it should be a bento because we decided to share. Probably a bad idea, the fried dumpling was good, salad super small, soup typical and sushi not good at all - it was warmer than it should be. I would love to come back and give them a second try for now 3.5/5 read more

It's new (to me) in this S. Ontario shopping center near the on ramp from Vineyard Ave. to 60 Freeway. Grilled chicken is cooked to perfection & extra sauces is a treat. I was pleasantly surprised by the large American portions. I'm definitely stopping by again and this time I'll eat indoors. Parking is free & clean. read more

Wanted to try this place out as my daughter was craving Japanese type food tonight. Place was located in a normal strip mall and was well lit and clean inside. Menu isn't huge which is a good thing sometimes. I want to say that this is similar in style to flame broiler, but better. Portions for the plate dishes are a lot bigger and a lot more flavorful than other chain places. Our order was placed and the dishes were ready a little over five minutes can't beat that. I don't know what they used to marinade the beef in (what i ordered) but it was oh so good and you got a lot of it. I can see this place do well for takeout and for people wanting a quick lunch. Prices are reasonably priced for what you get. read more

the service was great! teriyaki bowl was one of the better that I have had. Probably wouldn't go for the sushi again. I had the spicy tuna roll and couldn't finish more than one piece tasted off. read more

Tried this spot for the first time and ordered the bulgogi fries--solid choice! The portion was good and definitely filling, perfect for sharing or even as a meal on its own. The bulgogi was flavorful and well-seasoned, and it paired really nicely with the toppings. What I appreciated most was that the fries stayed crispy; there was just the right amount of sauce to add flavor without making them soggy. read more

Hidden in the plaza this little gem! They don't have a sign yet but it's right next to subway. HUGE parking lot so you don't have to worry about parking. I ordered the chicken and beef combo plate which came with salad, gyoza and my protein with rice! Im a big rice fan, so rice was sticky yet fluffy! Yum! Both the chicken and the beef were packed with flavor! When I do go next time though I'll be getting the beef combo next time! Service was excellent! All the employees were so sweet and nice! It makes me wanna go back because it's just that friendly to order and they care about what you want. Music selection is great not too loud. Seating area is clean and plenty of space to sit down! I'll be coming back. read more

I saw that this place opened up recently near the 60 fwy and the Kaiser permanente hospital. I wanted to try their chicken and beef combo ($14.99) which comes with sides of salad and fried dumplings. The portions were filling and I had plenty of leftovers. The meat was tender and chopped finely. The sauce was not too salty. I also bought their 8 piece California roll ($7.99), very filling and the rice was not too mushy. They have outdoor seating and a good amount inside. The staff was nice and the menu has a good variety to choose from. read more

I recently ordered take out from Joy Cook Grill and highly recommend it. Not only are the portions really generous, but the quality of the food is amazing! I got the beef & chicken combo and was surprised at the quality of the meat. They also offer sides, salads, and rolls. Perfect spot for lunch! read more

Definitely eating this when I'm in the area again. The food is clean, flavorful and the veggies are cooked perfectly. That's all I need in a high protein meal. The service was great and menu was easy to modify and understand. read more

Food and service was great! Good alternative to a fast food meal. Everything tasted home made. Easy to get to right off the freeway.

This place is okay. $15 for a dry chicken plate with no extra included is not worth it. Could've had more meat and include veggies.

It's essentially flame broiler under new management. It's not bad. They give decent portions. The inside is the same as before when it was flame broiler. I'd still recommend. They're nice, fast, and have a few extra options with larger portions. read more

Yo! The chicken bowl slaps so hard after the gym. def a great spot to get a quick on the go meal. Chicken bowl fuego!

We have been coming to Joy Cook Grill for some time now and have always been happy with the great food and wonderful service! The owner always treats us kindly and with a smile. Every time I call in my order, it's always right and made fresh and delicious. The beef and chicken combo plates are a good large portion even with gyoza and salad on the side. We've also tried their sushi's and they are good as well. Portions are really good and most of all the service. Please come support this local restaurant who are doing an awesome job!! read more

Love this place. I work in Ontario once a week, and I literally go every single time I am in town. Love the flavors, and the meat to rice ratio. Super friendly staff. Would recommend this to anyone that is in the area. I love waba grill and yoshinoya but this place is 10x better. Also very reasonable prices. read more

Great food. I used to live in the area so stopped in this strip mall to get Flame Broiler. Well, Flame Broiler was no longer here but this place was, so I tried it. It's much better than Flame Broiler, the meat was tastier and the vegetables were perfectly steamed. read more

Love the chicken bowl and steak combo the teriyaki plates and bowls come with this dressing that mixes in well with the teriyaki sauce.

This place is something else! I work down the street and am very glad Joy Cook Grill is in the neighborhood. The food is on another level. Cooked to order, and served hot! Great customer service. Have been three times now and the food never disappoints. Have had the Spicy Pork combo, Beef and Chicken Combo, and the Chicken Teriyaki Fries. Portion size is great. Plenty of delicious food. The meats are cooked well. Not overcooked and all are seasoned really nicely. The Spicy Pork was so tender and flavorful. One of my favorites. read more

Very good food made by korean owner. Prices are good and portions are big. I always get togo

What a nice surprise! Hard to know how the local "new place" is going to go but what a great new local option. Sort of like a Flame Broiler / Waba Grill / Yoshinoya vibe but good flavors and great service, definitely recommend a try!! Will be back. read more

I don't how I'm barely finding out about this place!! I feel like I've missed out this whole time eating here :( If you want authentic bento or teriyaki, then this is the place for you ! I ordered the half chicken and half beef bento lunch. It came with a side choice of either California roll or spicy tuna roll . My lunch also included a small miso soup, salad and a couple gyozas. The food was bursting with flavor, seasoned just right and the meat was tender. They don't skimp on their portions either! I didn't eat at the restaurant because I called in my order for pick, but the place looks very clean and would be nice to sit down and have a meal there. They had my order ready when I arrived and they included all of the sauces and utensils without me having to ask for them. The lady at the register was very friendly. This place will be visited by me frequently! lol so happy they are close by ! read more
