This place is located inside a shopping center. It wasn't very busy. It was easy to make a reservation. We tried their omakase here and it was tasty. The fish melted in your mouth. Nothing was overstated. All the flavor profiles were very well-balanced. I usually don't like uni but this wasn't too salty. They also added a little sprinkle of glitter which made it a little magical read more

Went here on a first date and it was a mistake. Restaurant was empty, besides the family that owns the place there. The AC was either broken or not being used. They didn't have a liquor license so no alcohol. The miso soup tasted watered down and the 3 sushi rolls we got were so small and barely had food inside that you could see two layers of rice overlapping. The inside of 2 of the rolls only had imitation crab. The sushi rolls also lacked flavor; neither the sauce or the fish. Maybe could use salt? Seems like I'm not the only one who knows and they might be cutting corners? The rainbow roll had cheap cilantro just thrown on top... The service was good though but that doesn't make up for the terrible experience and bad food. read more

I had very high expectations upon reading the amazing reviews but sadly left dissatisfied after my meal. My partner and I were craving sushi and wanted to try a new place so we decided to come here. We came on a Thursday evening & to our surprise, it was completely empty except for us. It was quite stuffy & hot inside, which made the overall meal experience not as pleasant. We ordered the nigiri combo, a salmon skin salad, California rolls, & two pieces of salmon nigiri. The salmon skin salad was drenched in this ponzu sauce & overpowered the entire dish. The seaweed salad on top didn't complement the salad well. The nigiri combo was subpar, nothing really stood out to me. The best pieces were the salmon nigiri with the worst being the tuna. There was an enormous piece of tendon running through the entire fish, making the piece inedible. The California rolls weren't wrapped tight enough so there were gaps in the roll. This made it difficult for us to grasp the pieces up in one swift motion without it falling apart. Overall, I was pretty disappointed. I had better expectations especially since they offer omakase here as well. The service and ambience of the restaurant was great though! read more

This place exceeds its criteria to be a sushi restaurant. Although it has a small(ish) menu, the sushi and fish are out of this world! The service was the best I've ever had in a while. The main chef was so nice and cheerful. You also have to order that Matcha Ice Cream. Overall, the place was clean and would come here again. read more

Took my mom here for omakase for her birthday and we had a lovely time here. Exceptional attentive service and food is on point. Every single course was great except for the last mixed sushi that tasted weird. We also didn't like the gold sparkles blown onto the dish straight all over me, but otherwise great presentation. Great experience here for my mom's first omakase. Location is a little hidden and is on the inner side of the plaza. Plenty of parking surrounding the area. read more

I'm pleasantly surprised and really glad to stumble upon this amazingly good sushi place. Top notch quality of sushi with fresh ingredients using top grade certified seafood, similar to the what you'll find at upscale sushi places. For best experience, sit at the bar and the super talented chef Jeff will treat you to an omakase experience that you will remember for a long time. This is a good place to take out of town guest who appreciates good sushi and a lively conversation with the chef as he expertly prepares your food. Let the chef work his magic and you'll leave happy and satisfied. read more

We decided to come here for dinner on a Sunday night and have been looking for a good sushi spot to try out. I am from the South Bay and feel like I have pretty high standards when it comes to sushi. We got sat at the bar, right in front of sushi Chef Jeff, our favorite place to sit when at a sushi restaurant. Personally, I love watching my food be prepared. I was blown away by how fresh the sushi was and how hospitable our server and Chef Jeff were. Jeff asked what we liked and provided some recommendations. He was very funny and personable and I really enjoyed talking with him. We started with the Happy Time Roll which was wonderful! Salmon is my favorite so I loved that this roll had shrimp tempura, salmon and tuna. It was decorous! I also ordered salmon toro nigiri which was nice and fatty, just the way I liked it. My bf had the chirashi bowl which was amazing! We will definitely be back! Thank you Chef Jeff for the amazing experience! read more

I ordered the chirashi bowl and the server was pushing me to try their omakase instead. I almost caved before realizing that I didn't have the stomach space for it, and was glad I stood my ground. The chirashi came and instantly the fishy smell hit me in the face. I was hoping maybe the taste would be better, but it was not. Only the salmon was tasty. All the other fishes were too fishy for me. Even the sushi rice itself was more al dente and hard than nice soft pillows. I was hungry and had to eat what I could as I didn't want to waste the food. We told the server the issue and the reply was an awkward, " I'll let the chef know." Needless to say, I won't be returning. read more

This place is getting slept on, are you kidding me? Came here on a random Saturday evening because my three year old wanted sushi. Just happened to be in the area, so popped in only to find we were the only group during prime dinner time. Y'all.... GTFO. We initially just wanted a few of our usual, not even anything fancy or big -- salmon, tuna, yellowtail, cali roll. Sushi so butter, we had to order more. Scallop, salmon toro, and ikura for round 2. Then I had to ask about a chef rec to keep it going. Breh. Lemme tell you about Chef Jeff's rec, the coveted seasonal AKAMUTSU. I thought I knew my nigiri's, but apparently not. This premium fish was crème de la crème. I know for a fact I'm coming back here for omakase. What was I thinking? Our server, Josh, was a G. Super attentive, conversational, and felt like we were long time buds. Chef Jeff oozes passion for the craft. Hooked it up with that kizami wasabi AND green tea ice cream to cap the night. He really made the atmosphere feel like family (and even had his family there in the restaurant with him -- love it). He took our photo to be put up on the wall at the end of our meal, so we really felt like the belle of the ball. Everything about Oyishi is top-notch. Selfishly, I'd love for this place to always be this low key so it's a hidden gem we can always go back to without having to wait a long line. Realistically, what are y'all doing?! How is there not a long line for this place already??? Wild. read more

Fresh Uni and Spicy Tuna HR. My son enjoyed it. He gave two thumbs up! We also got the Teriyaki Chicken and rice that came with a salad and miso soup.

They were very attentive and the ambiance was quiet and calming. read more

Me and my wife are new to the area looking for a great place for sushi that didn't focus on the variation of sushi rolls that many modern spots love to push. To our surprise we ended up finding this spot not too far from where we live. We walked in on a Friday night around 730pm, in a near empty restaurant. I was skeptical at first but the sushi chef had us sat at the bar. He offered us the 17-course omakase which we gladly obliged. We started with tempura vegetables and carpaccio, and then when onto the Nigiri, sashimi, grilled sushi and ended with scallops and Amaebi dishes. The quality was AMAZING, it was one of those moments where after the first few courses I asked "where do you get your fish from?" The chef replied passionately that he ships the fish from Japan, using 1-day shipping. It all made sense as I wouldn't expect the fish that we were eating to be domestically caught and frozen over long periods. The Chef and the manager made the experience amazing as well. Dishes bussed immediately in between courses, chef cracking jokes, drinks flowing. I was thoroughly impressed. Being that it was fairly empty I'm not sure how they would perform if they were booked, but I was satisfied with the service while I was there. This will be a regular sushi spot for me! read more

I've been here twice already and the sushi is fresh and delicious. I didn't get the 17 course omakase set but the regular one on their menu, added some eel and it was so good! I'm already thinking of my next meal there. The staff is also kind and professional. It would be really nice if the restaurant turn the AC lower. It was warm inside. I don't drink ice water at restaurants cause I get too cold but I needed it here to cool down. read more

Spicy tuna in our chirashi bowl literally tasted rotten. We let them know and they did absolutely nothing about it. The Unagi bowl I ordered was very mediocre and not worth the price. If you're stuck in Chino maybe this is your best option but way better sushi options if you go west to Diamond Bar like Hikari Sushi. read more

I ordered the premium chirashi don and it was fantastic -- fresh, generous portions of fish and beautifully presented. What really stood out was Chef Jeff, the owner.

Chef Jeff!! Amazing and personable chef, he was definitely a highlight for us when we came to visit at the opening hour on a Saturday. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and modern. Plenty of surrounding parking in a quiet plaza. We were seated right away and ordered two omakases, the premium chirashi, a the fish collar meal, and one sashimi plate. I forgot to take photos of most of them because we were ready to dig in but look how beautiful the omakase was! You can tell Chef Jeff plated and dressed these gorgeous nigiri's with care. The fish quality for all dishes was really good! I loved the variety of the omakase and their yuzu and fresh wasabi seasonings were perfect pairings. We had a very interesting experience with their Ikura, it was the first time I've ever had Ikura that was not salty and did not pop in your mouth, it had a more chewy texture! My friend said she actually liked that more than the salty version but it was definitely different! Amaebi was great and we had plenty of tempura shrimp heads to go around. What I appreciated about Chef Jeff was his humbleness and his desire to obtain feedback, you can tell he's very interested in improving and making sure customers are enjoying themselves. Their shishito peppers were less blistered than I've seen in other places, it was more plump and chewy than I was used to but it was good with the sauce and Benito and the perfect amount of spicy! The edamame was also fresh and just the perfect amount of salt was placed on them, they were warm and didn't taste frozen at all like maybe some places do. Bento was nice and hearty, my aunt said she would've liked a little sauce on it but it did come with lemon wedges as most do! Staff was attentive and quick with serving food, I think we'd want to come back to try some of their rolls and this yuzu peach drink I was told about (I couldn't order it because I'm allergic to peaches but it sounded good!). Overall a pretty solid place for sushi. Thanks for a great experience Chef Jeff! read more

Small. Hidden. Quality! I came with a friend last Saturday and my expectations weren't very high. I don't expect high quality sushi inland. HOWEVER, the service was great. We started with the Blue Fin Tuna Don - it melted in our mouths. We also had the crispy rice sushi, although it was not what I expected because it was battered, it was tasty. We then had the O toro - WOW. It's imported from Japan and then chef surprised us and added uni with silver leaf. What a delicious experience!!! There was a special, I think it was Jeffery's special with seared salmon, yellow tail, and another delicious seared fish. It wowed us again. I've never had such high quality sushi in the IE. Bottom line- this place is for TRUE sushi lovers. Go for the sashimi experience. read more

This is a new restaurant that opened up & we love sushi so we had to try it. I ordered the Omakase sushi set and it was delicious! Sushi was fresh & quality was great! Jeff, the owner & sushi chef, was really great in explaining everything. However I felt it was very odd that no miso soup or salad came with it & it's listed under the "sushi combo" section of the menu. So what does that really mean? Lol My hubby ordered the Sashimi platter A & same thing no soup or salad came with it. Good thing we ordered the hamachi Kama meal which came with soup & salad & rice. Food was delish. Quality of sashimi was on point. Price is good too. I hope they decide to put lunch combos. read more

Get this--we've eaten off paper plates in back-alley food stalls where the only English spoken was "cash only," and we've dined under chandeliers in rooms dripping with Michelin stars. So don't get it twisted. We're not delicate little flowers clutching pearls over a lukewarm glass of water. We're not hard to please. But for the love of all that's good, don't try to pass off a dollop of turd as a dollop of gold. That's the only ask. Show some respect--for the business of restauranting, for the food, for the customer, for yourself. Picture this. Father's Day. We show up with hope in our hearts, stomachs growling, six of us total, including a little kid. We expected a good meal based on the high Yelp score. Maybe even a solid holiday celebration. What we got was a $350 highway robbery. A culinary mugging in broad daylight. Oyishi Sushi in Chino isn't a restaurant. It's a sad experiment in restaurateuring, run by folks who seem like nice people but clearly have zero grasp of hospitality fundamentals. First thing we notice? The floor. Still wet. Just mopped. No sign. No warning. No basic care for guest safety. A lawsuit waiting to happen and a giant middle finger to common sense. Hospitality malpractice. OSHA violation. Day-one restaurant stuff. Everyone on Earth knows to put down a "Caution: Wet Floor" sign. Then came the Lego incident. There were toys on display--right there in the open. Our kid, like any kid, reaches for them. And just as quickly, a pack of random children--maybe the staff's, maybe not--shoo him away like he'd violated some sacred code. No sign. No explanation. Just cold, unbothered rejection. Cue a tantrum that set the tone for the table. And let's be honest--if you don't want kids touching something, maybe don't display it like a shrine to childhood wonder. You can't dangle Legos like a carrot and then swat the donkey. That was the warm-up. We ordered katsudon, teriyaki chicken, two omakase, and two chirashi don. What came out? Straight-up hot garbage. The pork in the katsudon was so overcooked it could've been used in roofing. The teriyaki chicken? Limp, sad, and tasted like depression. We noted the issues and implored--through our eyes, our words, our souls--for a redo. A refund. Anything. Even a flicker of concern. What we got was the glazed over and uncaring stare of people who don't belong in the restaurant business and know it, but are too proud or too oblivious to admit it. Then came the so-called premium dishes. Yes, the fish was fresh. That's the one mercy. But the rice--dear god, the rice--was an abomination. A jihad against the art of sushi. Hard. Dry. Cold. Like it had been salvaged from the back of a fridge and left to sulk. The kind of rice you use for fried rice when you're broke, hungover, and out of options. On dishes like omakase and chirashi, where harmony between rice and fish is everything, this rice was a cultural insult. A complete implosion of what could have been a passable meal. We regretted it immediately. The table fell into silence. Nobody had to say it--we were all thinking the same thing: Why the hell didn't we just go to Sugarfish? And that's the kicker. We didn't expect miracles. We weren't walking into Sushi Ginza Onodera. But when you charge premium prices, you better bring premium execution. You can't price like a steakhouse and cook like a Denny's. So why did we come? Someone saw the Yelp reviews. Five stars. Glowing praise. Clearly juiced. What we experienced doesn't even orbit those reviews. It was culinary malpractice. Hospitality fraud. This place might pass for fancy if you live in Lincoln, Nebraska and your sushi reference point is a Walmart tray with spicy mayo. But for anyone who's eaten in LA, the SGV, or OC, this isn't a hidden gem--it's sushi cosplay, performed by amateurs LARPing as chefs. So here's the deal. If you respect food--hell, if you just respect yourself--skip this place. Don't let your Father's Day, or any day, end the way ours did: embarrassed and depressed. Oyishi isn't a restaurant. It's a mistake we'll never make again. Learn from our trials and tribulations. Stay away from this place like the plague. read more

New sushi spot alert in Chino Hills! Tucked inside a quiet, aging shopping center, Oyishi Sushi is the kind of hidden gem you'll feel lucky to stumble upon for dinner. While the surrounding plaza might feel a little sleepy with its closed storefronts and for-lease signs... don't let the exterior fool you! What awaits inside Oyishi is pure edible art. We had placed a pickup order for a cozy Sunday night at home, and the moment we stepped inside, we were warmly welcomed by the charismatic sushi chef and two of the sweetest staff members. We ordered two omakase to-go boxes ($55 each, an incredible value!!) and were absolutely blown away by the presentation. Each set came arranged in a box tied with rustic twine, filled with edible flowers, gold leaf, and vibrant garnishes. Not only was it eye candy, it felt like unwrapping a curated gift from the sea! You could tell the sushi chef takes great pride in his craft, and that care and talent came through in every detail and bite! While everything tasted delicious and was high quality, the omakase sets didn't include the typical sides of miso soup or salad, which are often offered with omakase experiences. Perhaps this will be something they'll add later on, since they are still currently in their soft opening. My final thoughts: Oyishi Sushi is a rising star in Chino Hills' growing sushi scene! I usually go to Makomae for my omakase fix (which isn't too far), but it's so nice knowing there's another great option even closer to home. With heartfelt service, absolutely stunning presentations, and fresh cuts of fish, this is a spot I'll definitely be returning to. Next time, we'll definitely be dining in to soak up the full experience! read more

We came here for high expectations since the great "reviews". As soon as we walked in and sat down, I didn't feel that welcoming and warm ambiance from the typical sushi place. Looked at the menu and saw the rolls had no explanation whatever is in it. We asked the waitress and she didn't know either what are Scotty's and Jeff's roll. We asked her to ask the chef what kind of rolls are they and the chef answered her in hesitant and looked bothered that she asked the questions. The waitress informed us that usually the chef comes to the table to explaining what kind of rolls are they. Ok, red light, very inconvenient and not productive at all. What if they're so busy and the chef had to explain to every table what kind of rolls are they in their menu??? Anyway, my gut told me just to leave and go somewhere else. I'm glad I did trust my gut. Don't even bother to come back and give second chance. read more
