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

Went to Marugame Udon with a few friends and had to try this SoCal location since I love going to…read morethe one in SF. This was the closest one to us, and it definitely lived up to what I was expecting. I tried their new Bolognese udon, and it did not disappoint. It had a really rich, savory tomato flavor that paired surprisingly well with the chewy udon noodles. It's a little different from the usual udon dishes, but that's what made it stand out. I would definitely get it again, especially since udon is one of my favorite types of noodles. My friends got the Nikutama udon, which was also really good. You can tell the udon is freshly made, with that perfect chewy texture. We also grabbed some of their tempura sides, and they were crispy, light, and super satisfying. The workers were really nice, and the whole setup runs pretty smoothly even when it gets busy. The space itself is pretty spacious with lots of seating, so it's great for groups. It has a casual, lively feel with people coming in and out, grabbing trays, and building their meals, which adds to the overall experience.

I was expecting a comforting, piping hot bowl on a cold night, but ended up pretty disappointed…read more I've had this in Japan and was really looking forward to eating here, but it didn't come close. The nikutama udon was only warm rather than hot, and the broth tasted overly salty with a slight sweetness. I added green onions and flakes, but the flakes quickly became soggy in the soup. I also ordered crispy katsu, which was actually quite fresh and tender, and helped give an extra star. I also tried a battered chickenc tempura shrimp, and battered sausage that was cold and seems left out for a while. I can't say the meal was enjoyable.

Sake 2 Me Sushi is a great option for AYCE sushi in Chino! I've been here with my husband and with…read moreother family. They have a wide selection and have quality fish. 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 was on a solo date with moi. Love to dine with self always! Staff was very welcoming upon entry. Service was top-notch throughout the evening. I went all out on my dining experience. I couldn't resist, but to order the best sushi rolls, sushi + ramen bowls, and iced green tea. Let's just say I was hungry LOL. Everything was amazing! Seaweed salad was the best I've ever had. Between the two sushi rolls, I enjoyed the Carribean Roll more. I think it was the sweet onion that put it over the top. TASTY! Chirashi Bowl had fresh fishes in good cuts. YUM! Ramen Bowl had savory broth and tender chashu pork with all my favorite toppings. DELISH! Refreshing Iced Green Tea was in a large glass. YAY! I dined liked a queen. I would do it again. Of course, I had to pack the leftovers to-go plus order some to-go for my daughters. Overall dining experience was wonderful. Definitely would come back again. If you haven't tried Kazama Sushi, add it to your list to try. Dine-In: *Seaweed Salad - marinated seaweed with sesame oil & seed *Carribean Roll - In: spicy crab meat, avocado, cucumber/ Out: salmon, lemon, sweet onion, cilantro with sweet sauce and cilantro sauce *Old Town Roll - In: crab stick, shrimp tempura, avocado/ Out: seared salmon belly, sprouts, garlic ponzu, tobiko *Chirashi Bowl - Chef's select fishes over sushi rice *Miso Ramen Bowl - Japanese ramen noodle soup with chashu pork, egg, corn, ginger, green onion & seaweed *Iced Green Tea To-Go: *Chirashi Bowl *Miso Ramen Bowl Btw, free parking can be found at the nearby parking garage or on the streets.

Went in with an empty stomach, ordered a water which i only took a sip of. Pros: -Sushi size is bigger than most places -They were very generous w/ the ginger & wasabi -They provided a lolipop w/ your check Cons: -I wish the Eel was crisper I feel like a 7/10 full. I paid $32.36 (before tip) Pretty satisfied with my meal. Still exploring sushi spots to see if rolls are worth the price so no opinion as of right now, However I have been to cheaper spots (just as good) in the SD area.

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.

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.

Finally tried this ramen spot and it's definitely going in our rotation…read more The place is clean, bright, has a few indoor tables, good for small groups. We were seated right away. Menu is small but I prefer it that way. We opted for a Tonkatsu Ramen, a Spicy Miso Ramen, and a roll (sorry, I can't remember the name of the roll). Tonkatsu Ramen: classic ramen. Delicious. Broth was flavorful. Noodles were cooked perfectly. Spicy Miso Ramen: definitely not too spicy. Broth was good. Noodles were good. Toppings were plentiful. I really liked the way the egg was cooked. Really enjoyed this ramen but I think next time I'll get the non spicy version to really taste the broth. Roll: This was a really delicious roll. It had shrimp, benito flakes, maybe an eel sauce(?). It was a great roll. A good sized roll, perfect for sharing. Overall, this was a great spot for ramen. Left satisfied and full. Service could be friendlier but definitely not a deal breaker. Definitely worth checking out.

We were seated pretty quick and I ordered the jalapeño bombs as well as the Tonkotsu Spicy Black ramen. Everything was delicious. The ramen was flavorful and the portion was satisfying. You can selct the spicy level. I got to try both levels 1 and 2. Level 2 is on the spicier side and just on the cusp of being too much. I think 3 would be too spicy to enjoy, imo. The noodles were cooked perfectly. Im glad I got the black garlic addition. It added an extra layer of flavor. I will be checking this place out some more.

The food at Yoshiharu Ramen in Chino Hills is genuinely solid. I tried the ramen and the broth was…read moreflavorful and satisfying, though it does feel a bit expensive for what you get. One thing to keep in mind is that the bowls don't automatically include the salted egg, so you'll have to shell out a few extra dollars if you want that classic topping. While the meal itself was a hit, the logistics of the meal were a bit more frustrating. The service was fairly lackluster and felt mostly absent; we waited quite a while for attention, and the overall pace was very slow. It's the kind of place where you have to be proactive if you need a refill or the check. Additionally, the cleanliness of the restaurant is a major concern. Everything felt "sticky" from the tables to the floors and the bathrooms were definitely not well-maintained. It's hard to fully enjoy a premium-priced meal when the environment feels a bit neglected. On a brighter note, the location is very convenient. Since it's tucked into a large strip mall, parking is incredibly easy and stress-free, which isn't always the case in Chino Hills. If you are a "food first" person who doesn't mind a bit of grit and slow service, the ramen is worth a try, but the management could definitely step up the cleaning
