    Food was fresh and delicious. Erica was attentive and provides great friendly service. We watched the dodgers game and enjoyed the ambiance.

    Easily my sushi stop as I sometimes work in the area! The yellowtail jalapeño roll is DELICIOUS and such good value/quality with alot of sushi - totally worth the higher premium. The chicken karage is not the typical crispy type but it's so juicy and tender. The miso soup is delicious, surprised to find out it's made in house which really reminds me of food growing up. And then the MATCHA TOAST omg, if I lived here I would order everyday. Toast is perfectly buttery and crunchy with the most fluffiest cream and matcha powder 10/10

    Absolutely amazing from start to finish. Every sushi roll was fresh, the ramen and udon were incredible, and the appetizers were delicious. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and I would 100% come back for the food. Highly recommend!

    This sushi place is one of the hidden gems of Azusa. They have a great lunch menu with awesome price. The service was fast and nice.

    Got this spot thru Door Dash earlier this week to try a new place - not impressed, unfortunately. While the bento box was a good price (~17 for 3 items, and comes with miso soup, salad, and rice), there was just no flavor to anything. You can see from the pic that the salmon portion was maybe 1/3 of what I'd expect a dinner portion to be. I did like how it was seared, but I could barely taste the teriyaki flavor. The rolls were really bland. I'd expect some flavor for a spicy tuna roll, but there was no kick, and no flavor. We tried this place because the prices were good, so 3/5 just for good prices, but wouldn't come here again.

    The Japanese food is really good and this is the 3rd time I am here .The environment is ambiance and comfortable with very friendly and prompt service from the lady waiter.

    Dragon Roll. Udon.

    Food was good, ambiance was nice, and the worker was very kind and attentive. I got the udon noodles and a dragon roll and enjoyed both. Overall a solid spot and a pleasant experience.

    This place has amazing quality sushi. My go to place!

    Konkutsu Ramen and Blueberry Sake

    The sake is so nice and flavorful and the Ramen is wonderfully light and tasty. Fast service and beautiful waiter who check on us if we needed anything. Definitely would come by with friends to share this wonderful experience!!

You order through their website or the QR code located on each table and pay online. There is no need to do an in person cashier transaction -- hence, there is no requirement for a tip. When we went at 10pm, there was only one man working hard. He was kind and made the food deliciously with care despite being short staffed. The store ambiance and calm and clean. You get your water and utensils at the front. There is a music playing to create that good ambiance. They close late at 12am which is nice for us who have that craving of good sushi anytime of the night. Thank you Aloha Sushi! We will surely be back :)

They are open until midnight, which is great for late night sushi cravings, but I found it odd when we walked in after 10:00pm, there was no server. There was only one sushi chef working behind the counter and there were a couple of other tables there when we arrived. You have to order your food via QR code and pre-pay for it. They have an assortment of beverages in a cooler and they have all of the utensils up at the front counter. I mean, the place was clean enough, but it just seemed a little eerie, as if we were still in the middle of Covid given the way we had to order. Since there was only one sushi chef, we did have to wait quite a while for our food - over an hour. Overall, it was worth it because our sushi was very tasty and it was a beautiful presentation.

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.

    Absolutely loved my experience here!…read more From the moment I walked in, I could feel that this place is run with a lot of care and pride. The atmosphere is cozy but clean and modern, and you can immediately tell how much attention the owner puts into every little detail. The counter, the cutting boards, the knives, even the plates - everything looks spotless and well-maintained, which already gave me a lot of confidence before I even took a bite. The service is incredibly friendly. The owner and staff are not just polite in a formal way, but genuinely warm and attentive. They check on you at the right times, explain the dishes if you're curious, and you can feel that they really want you to enjoy your meal, not just finish it and leave. There's a sincerity here that's hard to find these days. It doesn't feel like a business only; it feels like you're being welcomed into someone's personal space where they truly care about the food they serve. Now, the highlight: the salmon. I've had salmon sushi and sashimi at many places, but the salmon here honestly stands out. The quality is on another level. The texture is incredibly buttery and soft without being mushy, and it has that natural sweetness and richness that only really fresh, high-quality salmon has. You can tell they're very selective with their ingredients. It doesn't have any fishy smell at all - just a clean, delicate aroma that makes you want to eat more. The way the salmon is cut and presented also shows the chef's skill. The slices are perfectly balanced - not too thin, not too thick - so you get that satisfying bite where the fish almost melts in your mouth. When you eat it with just a touch of soy sauce and wasabi, everything comes together beautifully. It's the kind of salmon that makes you pause for a second and think, "Wow, this is really good." They also offer different styles of salmon - like nigiri, sashimi, and rolls - and each one feels thoughtfully prepared rather than just quickly thrown together. Even the rice is well made: slightly warm, seasoned just right, and not falling apart. That alone shows the level of care in this place, because good sushi rice is not easy to get right. What impressed me the most is how clean and conscientious the owner is. You can actually see them constantly wiping down surfaces, organizing their tools, and checking the freshness of the ingredients. There's this calm but focused energy behind the counter. It gives you the feeling that they would never serve anything to a customer that they wouldn't proudly eat themselves. That kind of sincerity is rare and really adds to the trust you feel as a customer. Overall, this is the kind of sushi restaurant where you don't just come for a quick meal - you come because you know you'll be taken care of. Friendly service, an owner who is extremely clean, honest, and hardworking, and salmon that is truly special and memorable. If you love salmon, this place is a must-visit. I would absolutely come back again and again.
