I came here for lunch around 1 o'clock and it was never too busy. There was plenty of parking space in the lot. The customer service was always good. The asked me if I wanted any extra condiments and reminded me to grab some utensils. The bento boxes are so worth it! I got the teriyaki chicken plate which came with chicken rice, a side salad, 4 CA roll pieces, and some tempura. The chicken wasn't dry at all and you also got the option to choose which type of salad you wanted. I was also able to ask for all vegetable tempura. I love the CA rolls and the tempura as well. It tasted pretty fresh and not like it was sitting out. This place is definitely worth trying if you're looking for a cheap and quick lunch. :)

I give this place a very well earned 3.5 stars. I got the beef teriyaki lunch plate that came with salad, half a California roll, and tempura. The teriyaki was marinated well so if you like to add teriyaki sauce to your meat you won't need much if any. For the salad you get your choice of 3 plus a choice of around 5-6 salad dressings. The tempura was ok and had its own dipping sauce. Inside the place was clean and the service was pretty quick. I'm sure I'll be back again

Chicken & Beef teriyaki $6.50 with CA Rolls (4 pcs) add $2.50 I ate 2 pieces before taking the pic lol

3.5 Stars This place is located on the south side of Arrow Hwy, west of Irwindale Avenue. It's right next to Pitas To Go. They open at 10:00AM which was convenient for me because I was going to pick up food and have an early lunch with my friend who works down the street. I came here yesterday to pick up lunch to go. My friend wanted Beef Teriyaki ($6.50) and I decided to go with Chicken & Beef Teriyaki ($6.50). I added the 4-pieces of California Roll for an added $2.50 to our meals. It also came with a side salad and there were a few dressing to pick from. With tax, our total was $19.58. The man who took my order had a Korean accent so I asked him if they were Korean and immediately he seemed to warm up to me. My husband is half so I used a few of the Korean words I knew. LOL My to-go order was ready within 5 minutes. I thought both the beef and chicken teriyaki were pretty good. Next time I would ask for the sauce on the side though because there was too much for my liking. He did give me the option to put it on the side and I should have went with it! The California Rolls were just okay though. I've had better and these fell apart when I tried to pick it up with my chopsticks. Overall, decent food for a decent price. (We're in Irwindale after all.....) 28/100 Reviews 2017

Chicken teriyaki & mandarin salad w/sesame dressing. Yum
chito m.

I used to come here pre-pandemic and their teriyaki sauce was spot on delicious. I loved ordering the chicken teriyaki plate with mandarin salad & sesame dressing. Just came back here for lunch after many many months, expecting the same great quality I experienced before but something changed. The chicken seemed bland. The teriyaki sauce was dull. It was slightly more gelatinous. It lacked the sweetness and pow it previously had. So sad because this was once one of my favorite places nearby. I hope he improves the quality of the plate so I can come back for more. Just finished eating it and I'm still craving the old recipe.

Great food

Really good service we had a small misunderstanding on the credit card bill but it got cleared up easily the food is great the prices are amazing. If your looking for great food with excelente customer service this is the place to be.

Teriyaki Beef and Chicken with Rice

Really good sushi at a reasonable price. They have lots of variety, from $9 bento boxes to $6 rolls and rice dishes. It's a great place for people to go during lunch break, especially on a nice day where people can sit outside. I've tried the spicy tuna, the crunch (tempura shrimp), and the salmon rolls, which are delicious. The curry and teriyaki rice dishes and bento boxes are a big pricey, but they are all very filling.

Don't try to do a group order because it will take an hour to get your food. While people who came after you get served .

The food was the real highlight. The uni was incredibly fresh and rich, easily one of the best bites of the night. What really surprised me, though, was the tiramisu. I didn't expect it to stand out as much as it did, but it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and an ideal way to end the meal. Between the standout dishes and the excellent service, this is definitely a place I'd come back to.

Unfortunately, the food here has not met the mark. I came in at 6:40pm on March 7th, 2026 to only 2…read moreother tables and while the service has been good, the food is to be desired... I ordered 1 hand roll, 2 appetizers, and 2 rolls. I have never seen chicken karage not be crispy ours was almost wet for some reason. This appetizer arrived at 7:10. My rolls arrived at 7:40 and the salmon on them was icy cold. The table next to us received their salmon frozen... It baffles me that the sushi "chef" had managed to cut the salmon and fail to realize that it was frozen. I've spent so much time waiting for my last item (appetizer) to arrive that I figured I would write out the review now. This place is in the area and I figured I would give it a try. Do not make the same mistake I did. This place is empty for a reason. Now I get to go home hungry and moderately upset. Update: 8:05pm, I do not want the appetizer. I'm leaving.

Came here with my sister after a little shopping day because she was craving sushi for her…read morebirthday, and honestly this place ended up being such a good experience. The happy hour specials are phenomenal and probably one of the biggest reasons I'll definitely be coming back because the value for what you get is actually really good. On top of that, the customer service was amazing. Jared was super attentive and kind, and the other gentleman helping us was also incredibly welcoming and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. My sister barely eats these days because she's on Ozempic, so we honestly didn't expect her to eat much, but she LOVED the food. I loved it too. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling overly heavy. What really made the experience memorable though was how they went out of their way for her birthday. They sang happy birthday to her, brought out a birthday hat, and made her feel celebrated without us even really expecting anything. Usually we're too shy to ask for birthday celebrations at restaurants, so the fact that they did it on their own made it feel extra special and honestly made her night. The only reason I'm mentioning this is because I think it's something that could easily improve an already great experience, but there was a noticeable smell inside the restaurant that seemed like maybe a ventilation issue. If it wasn't for how good the food and service were, this probably would've been a four star experience for me. But the staff really went above and beyond and the overall experience was still worth five stars. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

You can tell they use solid ingredients, especially with the fish. They have a lot of sushi options, plus lunch specials and combo plates which are actually really filling for the price. Definitely a good spot if you want variety without spending too much. One of my favorite parts was the drinks -- I tried a matcha IPA for the first time and it was actually really good. They also have fun Asian-inspired cocktails with flavors like soju, ube, honeydew, and matcha, which makes it feel a little more unique than your typical sushi spot. Service was good and the place itself is clean and pretty spacious. Overall, it's not a super high-end sushi restaurant, but for a casual American-Japanese spot, it's really solid. I'd definitely come back.
