Stopped here for lunch since I was in the area. I ordered the Poke bowl with 3 protein it comes with miso soup for $20, miso was good but fish wasn't too fresh. Forgot to take a pic of the food sorry since I was starving and ate it right away lol. Probably won't come back here, lady was super nice tho, so great service but [[HIGHLIGHT]]place was empty around 12ishpm on a Tuesday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I am a Pomona native and finally tried this GEM out and let me say it was THE BEST i have ever had. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came on a Sunday night and my partner and i were the only two in there, felt like we were in V.I.P.!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've never had a baked salmon hand roll before and it was delicious. From being skeptical of this little spot, it is now at the top of my list.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean and bright family owned sushi shop on Mission in Pomona.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is very friendly and kind. Reasonably priced combo meals with miso soup and salad. We ordered the pork katsu and the sushi combo #4 with 3 salmon sushi and 6 pcs spicy tuna roll. I appreciated the salad was mixed greens rather than iceberg lettuce, with refreshing ginger dressing. The miso soup was hot and not too salty. The sushi was very fresh, as was the wasabi. The pork katsu was a generous portion, and could've used a little more sauce. Overall a pleasant dining experience! read more

Super cute local mom and pops sushi spot! Came here for dinner one night and it was very pleasant. The whole place was super adorable. Our sever was nice and attentive. We ordered 2 of the combos to share and one of the rolls. The menu is very simple and has all the standard sushi items. The combos are great deals. We go A and B. Portion size is pretty good and the ingredients is fresh, the quality of the fish is an average cut. Easy no frills, reasonably priced meal. Parking was very easy in the adjacent lot. read more

We finally went in! Don't let the outside scare you away. You walk in and it's like another land. We always pass by and after the encouraging reviews on yelp we went it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Oh looked so clean, and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was such a graceful lovely patient lady. She even explained the food as she brought it out. Prices are not bad.i fell in love with the green mussels. My son liked his veggie egg rolls. Miso soup was good. My husband loved all the sushi he ordered. We added pork belly dish. She said it's spicy, not at all. It was perfect heat ratio. Geez so worth $18. Cooked fresh!! I would say the only thing that bothered me was they use alot of green onions on everything. But we will definitely be back, to try more items. read more

Spicy Fish - mothers roll - Japanese Near Me - Pomona, California

Must come. Located in a quiet corner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super clean, great service and food was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Glad I found this gem.

Was craving sushi and found this cute mom and pop place to try. Got the combo 2 ($15) which came with miso soup, salad, spicy tuna roll, salmon skin hand roll, and 3 pieces of nigiri. The roll and nigiri were fresh and had a great rice to sushi ratio. The salmon skin hand roll was my favorite! It was crunchy, flavorful, and packed with fish and other veggies. So happy to have found an affordable and delicious place for sushi near home. read more

A hidden gem in Pomona honestly. Come here when you are craving some family owned sushi or you just want to enjoy a nice miso soup. The stuff we had today we Spicy edamame Black sesame poppy seed salad Combination 2 (California roll, spicy Tuna, spicy crunchy tuna) Mother roll ( baked lobster with eel sauce !) Paid a little over $25, and I would pay more for the level of service I receive here. Helping local businesses that have GREAT food is always a plus right ? Slide through ! You can also order over the phone :-) read more

Omg how cute is this place? My fiancé and I were looking for a sushi place by my house, which is really hard to find a good one in Pomona, and found this spot. At first I wasn't so sure bcus it was located in the corner and it was dark at the time. But you should never judge a book by its cover! So glad we gave it a shot. This place looks to be owned but a family, and they are so sweet and attentive. We ordered way too much but finished it all bcus it was so yummmm!! The sushi tasted so clean and fresh. This is def #1 for Pomona. read more

Spicy Fish - California roll - Japanese Near Me - Pomona, California

Unfortunately this place was a big let down. I got a very simple spicy tuna roll which is usually my favorite but here it was bad. The tuna wasnt fully mashed up, it had larger pieces of whole tuna which ruined the texture. Also, the rice of the roll was mixed with bread crumbs that also ruined the texture & made it taste bad. The worse part was it was so pricey for 6 freaking pieces! Not the normal 8 most restaurants offer. Never coming back sadly read more

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to try a fish spot that has been under my radar for a few months. My partner raves about this place so I thought it was finally time to give it a try. Initial impressions are as follows: - small yet ample parking - interesting purple building - beautiful indoor area, seating and overall atmosphere. The main lady that runs the space was very kind, welcoming and patient as we flipped through their cute photo album menu. I ordered the kimchi fried rice without pork, a spicy tuna roll and an oyster shooter. The oyster shooter was first. The smell was fresh like the salty Pacific. The Roll was fascinatingly spicy. The kimchi fried rice... it was spicy, tangy, ferment-y-- all the yummy goodness to be expected. Safe to say, this is my new Japanese seafood cuisine spot. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS!! read more

Looks like a small, family owned place with cute decor and solid sushi. Service was attentive and friendly. We tried the Spider Roll, Philadelphia Roll, Hawaiian Roll, vegetable and shrimp tempura, spicy garlic edamame, and donkatsu. We were pleased with our meal and would come back. Maybe it's because we had a late lunch, but we were easily able to find parking in the small parking lot. Not sure how things are at peak times. Overall, would recommend if you happen to be in the neighborhood. read more

The food was very good! I got the sushi and sashimi combo and tempura. The tempura was really fresh and the flavor of the spicy tuna roll was really good. Also great miso soup comes with the combo. No complaints about the service; they're really friendly and attentive. read more

Food Quality: Mothers Roll: Honestly was surprised about the quality! The sushi here tasted very fresh and it came out so warm that the food just melts in my mouth. Theres no need for soy sauce too as the flavors are already so popped out. The sauce added on the roll was so good I kept wanted more after I finished everything (5/5) Caterpillar Roll: The roll here was also very fresh and blended in well with the soy sauce included! I preferred the Mothers Roll over this, but both are still good options! (5/5) Service: Service was amazing! It's ran by a mom and pop so they are basically doing all of the work. The time for both of our orders was within 15 minutes so not too long! We were checked up upon and also the mom was very sweet to us during our lunch here. (5/5) Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside gives you this comforting and cozy vibe, almost like you're at home eating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have little cute decorations around and lights that fits the mood perfectly. (5/5) Value: So worth it considering how cheap many of these rolls are, but the quality was amazing and everything was fresh. I would consider going here again for a quick lunch grab! (5/5) Location: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Location can definitely seem off putting as this is a hole in a wall type of restaurant. It looks a bit small and hidden, but don't let the outside deter you from trying![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking was small but good too since it wasn't busy at all. (3/5) read more

This place was really good for some basic Japanese food! I really think the sushi combos are a good deal for around $14 to $15 dollars! They aren't the most complicated rolls and are really basic, but they are really good and some of them come with sashimi. We also tried the shrimp tofu soup for around $12. It isn't the most flavorful, but I still enjoyed it! Maybe getting it with more spice! I got a mild and it barely had a kick to it. The service was great as well and it really is a hole in the wall! I will be back to try the Katsu and other combination rolls! read more

This place needs to be busier. As a La Verne resident and Asian food seeker, I have a really good gauge of Japanese food in the area. Most are decent sushi mills that hit the spot but aren't special. This place is the opposite of that. It's small, quaint, traditional feeling and mom and pop run. The food is made fresh and with love. That's the biggest difference from sushi mill Japanese restaurants, the "other food" is just ok. Here, everything from the salad to the miso soup to the mixed tempura and kimchi fried rice, to the chicken katsu and egg rolls were all made fresh and with lots of love. They have pictures of pretty much everything they have, making it as accessible as possible to try all of their delicious offerings. Sadly, I heard the owner say it was slow. This isn't right. Everyone should prioritize restaurants like this. They do not serve alcohol so that might be a drawback to some (not me). Please come and try this place. I know you won't be disappointed. read more

This was my second time trying this place out. The food is fresh tasting, they make it then and there. The service is kind and helpful. There is plenty of seating and the ambiance is relaxing. Try this place out. Prices are great. read more

I'm usually in agreement with the overall yelp score of a restaurant but this one seemed a bit off. They have their own little lot shared with a liquor store on the opposite end so parking was a breeze. I was seated right away and service was on point. Restaurant seemed clean for the most part. Tables are pretty private to the point I had to peer around to see what the seating situation was like outside of my booth. Unfortunately I was underwhelmed by the food itself. The salmon poke dish was not what I expected and I've seen poke presented in many different ways. This one was half salad with a dressing I didn't like at all. It didn't mesh well with the red sauce on the salmon either. The salmon was drowned in the mild red sauce and though they were generous with the chunks of salmon the sauce was not very good. I can't imagine the spicy sauce is miles better but could be? They also sprinkled the salmon with sesame seeds and I personally think sesame has a strong flavor which takes away from the fish. Just didn't give off that fresh poke feel. I also got the chicken teriyaki. The chicken was pretty tough and not very flavorful. Teriyaki is so easy and basic that I scowl inside when it's not done right. I tossed half of it. Miso soup had a good amount of tofu and flavor was decent. The portions were a good amount and service was friendly but i doubt I will go out of the way to go back. read more

A diamond in the rough this Korean owned mom and pop sushi place is located near my work and based on Yelp reviews I wanted to support them. If you are looking for omakase or recently imported fish from Japan you will be mistaken. This is a joint for a decent cost effective meal that will taste good and leave you full. Ordered a combo #3 and I was delightfully surprised by their spicy tuna roll. It's their take on spicy tuna and the crunch added makes it enjoyable. Definitely will be stopping by again and if you are in the area looking for a quick, clean, good deal check this place out! read more

Can I just say that this restaurant was an experience! I'm originally from Seattle with a lot of Asian culture as part of my childhood. I'm also fluent in Japanese, so the fact that I'd moved here almost a year ago and hadn't had either Korean or Japanese cuisine yet was mind-boggling. From the outside, the restaurant seemed very quaint. But when we walked in it was like being transported to a loving home! The decor and seating is so comforting and warm, and our waitress was very sweet. I got the spicy soft tofu seafood soup and there was so much variety (you can adjust the spice level). Mussels, calamari, shrimp galore! We also tried their boba which was good but not great. All of the rolls were superb and exceeded expectations. My only wish is that I had gotten two orders of Shrimp Tempura because OMG the crunch was addicting. Definitely making this place a consistent date night place for us read more
