    Receipt from the restaurant

    We dined here on April 20, and unfortunately I had a very bad experience after eating the tiramisu yaki. About two hours after the meal, I started having diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, and felt very sick for two days. I usually order this dish and they normally only serve one piece, but this time they gave me two pieces. While eating it, I noticed the taste seemed a little different, but I did not think too much about it at the time. After getting food poisoning symptoms, I honestly believe the fish may not have been fresh and they did not want to waste it. I just want other customers to be careful when ordering this item.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love this little spot. Always full of life. It's grown on me over time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They put out weekly specials worth trying, and the sushi is fresh. Service is decent, simple, and feels family-style. The flavors here are lighter than many other places, but that's what makes it memorable. Not heavy, not overwhelming--just clean and honest. They offer all the staples: bento combos, udon, donburi. Nothing fancy, but everything steady. For a small old town like Walnut, it's a gem. #LocalFind #JapaneseInWalnut #SimpleAndGood

    It's been a long time since we come here. Older ladies were friendly to serve us. I have the eel bento. My daughter had the miso sauce with cod. Food was delicious. The cod in decoration. was so tender like jello. A bit too salty. But overall it's delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place probably could use some update in decoration but it's still such a hidden gem.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came on a Saturday night and there were still some seats left. A bit small, but homey.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The sushi and rolls were fresh and delicious. Wait staff were attentive and friendly. Recommend you trying this place out!

    Food (5/5): Been coming to this restaurant as a child. This is definitely a hole in the wall and gem located in Walnut. Their amazing quality and authentic Japanese food for their reasonable pricing cannot be beat, which is why my family is a patron here. They typically have unique weekly lunch and dinner specials. Love their wide variety of dishes ranging from rice, noodles, sushi, and etc. I appreciate how they offer either water or hot tea (free of charge). We tried their nijyu roll for the first time, which includes toro, yellowtail, salmon, and blue crab wrapped in cucumber topped with a garlic/ponzu sauce. This was such a refreshing roll and for $21.25 and the quality fish you get, this was so worth it. Would definitely order again. Our other favorite is their Dreyer roll, but I noticed the amount of eel/unagi and avocado on top of the roll has decreased overtime unfortunately. I really enjoy their soba dishes. They offer both cold dipping soba or hot soba with soup, both including a side of tempura. Their hot soba includes fishcake. I appreciate how they are open every day of the week for both lunch and dinner now, with their last call for dinner being at 9 PM. They are even considering opening for breakfast! They are also open on Fridays-Saturday for afterhours (9:30 PM - 12 AM) and serve sushi, ramen, appetizers, and drinks. Service: (5/5) The servers are always very helpful and attentive. They always go out of their way to be as helpful as possible and ensure that you have an enjoyable dining experience by clearing plates whenever possible and refilling your tea/water often. They always make me feel right at home whenever I stop by for a visit. Ambiance: (5/5) [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a decent amount of tables inside, but can fill up quickly during rush hours. They had table and sushi bar seating inside the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have renovated the interior since I started coming when I was a child to keep their fridge hidden by creating a server area before the hall to the restrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their glass tabletops have menus underneath them, including their speciality rolls and contents, and also include diagrams to distinguish each of the different types of fish which is really convenient and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Nigiri deluxe
    Zinnia V.

    Great service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store feels home-y and the staff is very sweet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our food came out fairly fast and tasted great! Would come back again

    Mixed tempura. Perfectly cooked. Not greasy at all.

    We had such a great experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great customer service, clean, and great food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Made to perfection! We will definitely be back!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great hole in a wall sushi place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Came on a weekday and tried their weekday special... it was amazing. Sushi is fresh, chicken teriyaki is cooked to perfection and the side dishes were all yummy. Will be coming back for sure.

    Combo A (teriyaki chicken, sashimi, California rolls)
    Amy L.

    Sashimi is great! Teriyaki chicken not so much. Portion sizes for the combo felt small but it was filling enough. Service was good though.

    Deluxe Premium Sushi/Sashami Plate
    Maggie N.

    Trying this place with my whole family on a Sunday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is like a small mom and pop restaurant and we got there right when they just opened and they were able to accommodate my family with 15 people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were so nice and made sure we were good. We ordered about 12 of these plates and it was pretty good and filling! It came with a small miso soup too! This plate was about $36 which isn't bad at all! I'd come back to try other food there!

    Crème brûlée
    Mike C.

    Holy gem! Their nigiri deluxe is an absolutely steal. For $33.75 you get 8 pieces that includes 2 toro and 1 uni. That in itself is worth the price. It also came with a soup with a shrimp head in it. Every piece was super fresh on there and I dont like salmon eggs and they were nice enough to replace that with something else without making a big fuss about it. I appreciate it. Their fatty salmon is good, special salmon is okay. Its the same price so i'd rather pay $7.75 for the fatty salmon. My favorite piece is definitely the toro. Melts in your mouth like butter. Dont leave here without trying their desserts. I tried 2. Favorite one was the crème brûlée, that was chef's kiss. Fried banana with ice cream was good as well but i was too stuffed at that point. Its located by a vons, so bunch of parking available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior makes me feel like im in Japan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All of the workers were nice and i got my food super fast. Definitely coming back.

    Authentic. Food didn't have the best presentation but it was delicious. Service was excellent - very traditional and seems family owned. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is on brand with an authentic Japanese restaurant with polite and attentive service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    They Sashimi Rollin' They Hatin' Sometimes as parents you try to keep your kids calm long enough for you to scarf down a meal. This was definitely one of those times. The server was great and brought us foam cups with water and spoons and forks. FYI my kids prefer the chop sticks even though all they do is stab the California Roll. We came after church right down the street and before they closed (closed from 2-5pm Sundays). Last seating is at 1:30pm so just be mindful if you're cutting it close to prepare for take out. It's small so when it's dinner time it can get crowded. We ate almost as quickly as the food was placed in front of us. My son love the California roll, my daughter chomped down on the rice from the Lunch Special. My wife and I tried to keep the kids plates full while we took it one roll at a time. My youngest loved anything we put in front of him. Everything tastes very fresh especially the Wasabi. Thank you Ninja Sushi for your patience with the toddlers. We can't wait to roll in for the next ninja sushi.

    The chirashi bowl is delicious! It comes with a multitude of fish and also with a fried shrimp head that they can make into a miso soup.

    can't believe I only just tried Kyala for the first time this year!!…read more I've been once for lunch and once for dinner happy hour time. The portions are perfect, and the service is amazing! I love the cozy intimate vibe, it's great for small groups or date night. my favorites have been the nigiri sushi (the lunch set is delicious), and the Kama karaage is cooked to perfection with a generous portion. I'll definitely be back soon~

    I think I came in with too high of expectations given the reviews. I thought it was just ok…read more Definitely a good amount of food for the price, especially the bento combo, but I was not wowed. I still enjoyed my meal and the service was very friendly and attentive with my water getting refilled several times. The fried food was nice and lightly crispy. The salmon collar was tender and a large piece. The baked lobster roll was too sweet with too much mayo. The sashimi and California rolls left a lot to be desired. Maybe it's because these are just the items that came included in a combo, and maybe it's because I didn't order the right things...but I wasn't too impressed given all the reviews about how this is the best Japanese food that needs to be discovered. I may be too spoiled by the higher quality sushi in South OC but to me the quality is more of a 3.5...but I rounded up.
