    Finding a sushi place that consistently delivers is rare, but Mikomi has been reliable every time…read morewe've gone. The sushi tastes fresh, and one thing I appreciate is the rolls are always made well, nothing falling apart halfway through eating, which honestly says a lot about consistency. My kids were big fans of the tonkatsu ramen and finished it without complaints (which parents know is its own review category). The happy hour prices are also worth mentioning because you can order a decent amount without feeling guilty afterward. The biggest standout for us was our server, Bang. Friendly, attentive, and especially patient with my kids' food preferences. He was accommodating when we asked to modify dishes and gave recommendations. Service like that makes a restaurant memorable. This has become an easy choice when we want sushi in the area, especially for family dinners.

    On a Thursday night, around 8:30pm, we thought it would be a good idea to order one roll over the…read morephone and pick it up. How difficult could that be? We placed the phone order for (1) roll and (2) macron ice cream things. (Which are already made and sitting in a freezer) We were told 25 minutes and so we waited about 20 minutes before I walked in to pick up my (1) roll, the only thing that required someone to make it. The front reception area was chaos with large parties waiting to be seated and scattered smaller groups of 3 or 4. I bypassed all that to get to the front and instead of a person is a tablet. All the human workers were scrambling around which told me they were "behind". I asked a worker about my phone order and she told me five minutes and took my payment. 35 minutes later I'm still waiting among the crowd who are also waiting to be seated. Workers are scrambling around like they just got trained that day. Confused looks and panic ruled the evening. Workers continued to jog past me to handing out drinks and trays of items and never checking back in with the small crowd. Confusion over clarity remained the theme as large parties asked why they haven't been seated yet. Small parties asked when they would be seated and I waited for (1) roll. A purely bad experience from start to finish from a place I've enjoyed in the past. The moral of the story is to expect the unexpected. Even though I've had pleasant experiences in the past here, I have to report the details of this visit based on its own merits and not prior visits. I ended up with my roll and it seemed like it was sitting back there somewhere ignored, like the groups waiting to be seated. It seemed not so fresh and like it was made 25 minutes earlier.

    This is our go-to local sushi spot. It's a small place, but it's always packed -- for a good…read morereason. The sushi is consistently fresh and delicious, and the Japanese side dishes are very authentic. You can really tell they care about quality, not gimmicks. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, which makes it an amazing value. If you're looking for great sushi without the hype or inflated prices, this place is a must try. Highly recommended!

    Wow, I came here Friday night around 8:30 PM with two friends and we had such a lovely time. It was…read moreour first visit and we instantly loved it, especially the sweet elderly ladies who served us. Huge thank you to Yumi, who was an absolute angel and made us feel so welcome (like we were her grandchildren and wanted us to stay). The food was genuinely great quality and the portions were way more filling than expected. At first, I thought we hadn't ordered enough and i was mentally prepared to order more... but by the end, we were so full. Truly a lovely experience. They also give you complimentary edamame and cucumber salad, which was such a nice little bonus before the main event. One of my friends ordered the chirashi bowl and it looked like a bouquet of all kinds of fish. We also got the chef's assorted sashimi (amazing assortment) the ankimo special (SO good), and the 4 piece hand roll special (could probably skip this one and save stomach space). For nigiri, we ordered uni, toro, tai, and yellowtail (all amazing.) The uni was especially creamy and delicious. The salmon belly was mesmerizing, the yellowtail belly melts in your mouth and did I mention the ankimo? We also ordered a fish only tempura, and they even gave us our own tempura dipping sauce. It's the small details like that that really make a difference. 10/10, come hungry, leave very full and slightly emotionally attached.

    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.

    A small and unassuming restaurant located in Diamond Bar. We came on a Friday afternoon shortly…read moreafter opening and the restaurant was already quite busy with a wait of about 20 minutes. I ordered their "Sushi and Sashimi Combination" from their Lunch Special menu which came with 6 pieces of sushi, sashimi and a half order of a tuna cut roll. The combination plate is very reasonably priced especially for the quality of fish which was fresh and delicious. The lunch special combo also comes with a bowl of miso soup and salad so you definitely get good value for the price. Service is standard, and there is a decent amount parking within the plaza.

    First of all, the food was ok. Not great, but ok. However, for the price point it's acceptable. We…read moreordered pork tonkatsu, teriyaki salmon, karage and teriyaki chicken and sushi and sashimi lunch. The tonkatsu set comes with rice, salad and miso soup. The pork was over cooked and dried. The katage and teriyaki chicken was ok. The salmon teriyaki has a good portion of salmon. The sushi rice was too hard and the way the fish is cut is sloppy. We've had better at other Japanese restaurants. Like other reviews mentioned, the service is questionable. There were only 2 waitresses for the restaurant. When we sat down, they want us to order everything all together. We later added salmon teriyaki, they took the order, but the waitress was taking to the owner sitting in the back table in Japanese that we are not ordering all at once. Looks like the owner/manager does all the calculations by hand for the check so they don't want people to add on to the order. It's a small restaurant and a bit tight between the tables. Seems like a good amount of regular people come here and pick up to go orders. We are not regulars here so seemed a bit like an outsider.
