Criminally underrated sushi spot in Rancho Cucamonga!…read more Girlfriend was craving sushi, and we decided to give KUWADA a shot on a whim... May have just found our new favorite sushi restaurant! The atmosphere and decor were modern and classy, and whoever was in charge of the music had phenomenal taste! The sushi itself was amazing, fresh and flavorful with so many different options to choose from. Same goes for the cocktails, I love a mojito and the Sakura Mojito may have been the best mojito I've ever had. Our server was lovely and fun to talk with, attended to our every need and allowed for a great dining experience. 10/10 will be revisiting!

I had a good experience at Kuwada (Rancho Cucamonga). My family and I ordered about 12 dishes on…read moreour visit. The selection felt limited (mostly rolls, nigiri, and appetizers). The rolls came very saucy, and most plates had an aesthetic appearance. Personally, if I were to ever revisit this location, I'd only order the garlic noodles w/ shrimp & the nigiri. For this review, I will focus on the Lobster Tail Roll ($36), Gyoza ($14), and Monaka Ice Cream ($7). I arrived at Kuwada (Rancho Cucamonga) on Sunday (around 12:50PM). Parking is very easy. The lot is HUGE. I had a reservation for 1PM, but a reservation felt superfluous since the restaurant was VERY empty. Throughout the entire dining experience, I only noticed one other group arrive. Staff is the HIGHLIGHT! Staff (receipt says JoJo) was the MAIN superstar. JoJo charmed the table; JoJo maintained a professional, kind demeanor; and JoJo worked very hard. JoJo gave excellent recommendations, and JoJo maintained a friendly, bright smile throughout our visit. Regarding food, it felt inconsistent. The food in the beginning was plated elegantly and carefully. However, as time progressed, it felt like the kitchen was beginning to rush despite the lack of customers. Food arrived very slowly, and later plates looked a little splattered and untidy. Thankfully, most of the food was very good. It's a journey of texture, fresh ingredients, and light & bright flavors. The Lobster Tail Roll ($36) had fried lobster bits, asparagus, avocado, masago, eel sauce, and mayo. It tasted like a vegetable roll at times. The Gyoza ($14 - 6 Piece) was panfried with seasoned pork and vegetables. Tasty!! And the Monaka Ice Cream ($7) is tiny with Macaroon Shell and a small scoop of Green Tea Ice Cream. All in all, these dishes didn't feel special, but they were prepared well enough. On ambiance, Kuwada (Rancho Cucamonga) is very attractive. The location is dimly lit, very clean, and spacious. However, the music is awkward at times. There were moments where light, lovely music was playing... only for random yelling music to briefly appear... to then suddenly be replaced with a country-style song. It all felt surreal. I don't think it was intended, but I think their music playlist was accidentally switched to the wrong track. Overall, Kuwada (Rancho Cucamonga) is an interesting experience. Honestly, the only reason this review is "5 Stars" is because our waitress was EXEMPLARY. Although the ambiance and cooking staff was lackluster, the front of house is MAGIC. This is a not bad, pricey place. 4.5 out of 5

My friends and I came here about 45 minutes before they closed (so sorry! We had finished watching…read morea movie and this was one of the only places open we don't usually do that) regardless of this though, all the staff was super friendly!!! They checked in on us at throughout our meal and were overall super nice. The place is very clean and super nice also! As for the food, we thought it was very good! My first time trying a roll with chili oil on it like that and it was really good! (Tataki roll) the cilantro albacore has a very nice yuzu taste and I always love a good cucumber roll. Everything we had was really good and there's not much bad I can say about this place! Would definitely go again when I'm in the area!

Shokunin | Visited 6/29/26…read more - Food: The fish was super fresh, I appreciate that the flavor profile was simple! I find that sometimes places will overcompensate with adding different touches when it's not necessary. I would have liked if the course ended with tomago since thats what I am used to at more traditional places. We received complimentary cheesecake at the end one matcha and one yuzu. If you had to pick, I would definitely opt for the Matcha! - Ambiance: The vibe was casual, I felt like they welcomed you as you are. No need to dress up, the focus is on the food. I did appreciate the chef made people waitlist so his attention could focused on my party of 4, this was a nice touch. - Service: We love the two chefs that were there, they explained each fish and put on a show when they brought out the smoke!! The waitress was amazing and hilarious she always made sure that the sake didn't stop coming! I would like to note that making a reservation is 100% the way to go so you don't get turned away and so the chefs are prepared for you. Also come earlier when we arrived at 8, they were out of blue crab.

I really liked the AYCE here! I honestly wasn't expecting the quality of the fish to be as good as…read moreit was, but it definitely exceeded my expectations. Everything tasted fresh, and I liked that I could try a good variety without having to commit to just one or two rolls. For AYCE, I also think the price is pretty affordable for everything you're getting. You can order a good amount and try different things, so I definitely felt like it was worth the price. Overall, I had a really good experience and would actually come back here again. If you're craving sushi and want AYCE without sacrificing too much on the quality of the fish, I think this is a pretty solid spot!

I was surprised by the quality of the sushi and fish to rice ratio at Sushi Martini! I didn't…read moreexpect to do AYCE but went for it anyways since I was in the area with my friend group. The space doesn't remind me of a sushi restaurant and more of a sports bar, but the space was playing the World Cup and was fit for the occasion. Their AYCE is a great price ($39.99), excluding their premium sushi rolls. Since I refrain from ordering rolls at an AYCE, this part didn't bother me much. We maxed out all the limited items, which was very generous, however, I wasn't sure of how many rounds were available, or how many pieces total were going to be included in the limited items, so we ended up with a LOT of nigiri. Our service was great, but spotty at several times. I loved all the nigiri items, especially the peppered salmon, ikura, and halibut. I'd pass on the red clam nigiri, and the fried appetizers as they were big portions but very filling! Delicious melt in your mouth pieces of yellowtail and salmon were the highlights for me. My friends enjoyed their unagi, and our friend's daughter enjoyed all the cooked items. Overall, I could say I understand the appeal of the restaurant!

We placed our order through Grubhub, and I have to say we were impressed! When the food arrived, it honestly felt like it had just been served to our table at a restaurant. Everything was packaged perfectly and still fresh. I was a little hesitant about ordering the lobster roll since it's usually warm, but I asked for it on the side and they followed the request exactly. Everything we ordered was so good! The salmon was fresh, the teriyaki chicken was a generous portion, and the shrimp tempura roll was delicious. My parents ordered a couple of rolls and other items I don't remember the names of, but they were all super tasty. We'll definitely be ordering from here again!

We started with the ika gesso (calamari) and the Seoul chicken wings and both were great! If I had to pick between the two, I think I'd order the ika gesso as the calamari was lightly fried and the sauce was really good. We followed with salmon carpaccio and it was so fresh and flavorful and the citrus and geisha rolls were also fantastic. The entire staff was kind and attentive, and it was busy but not crowded at dinner time on a Tuesday. Will be coming back next time I'm in town!

My eldest daughter and I came to Sake 2 Me Sushi at Foothill Crossing in Rancho Cucamonga for a…read morelate night sushi dinner. It was our first time visit here. Lots of free parking available. We were greeted and seated right away after entry. Lots of inside seating either at the bar or tables. FYI They no longer have the AYCE option. However, they do offer 30% off selective items. Menu has many great selections. Prices were reasonable. I was surprised they don't have the chirashi bowl. We opted for Combo A Sashimi with 12 pieces of regular fishes... we got 4 salmon, 4 tuna, 4 yellow tail. Salmon and yellow tail were very fresh, but the tuna did not appear to be the freshest. Good size cuts though. We also got a separate 5 pieces of salmon sashimi. We love salmon! So good!! Along with the sashimi, 1 Cucumber Special Roll (no rice), 1 Rainbow Roll, plus 1 Seaweed Salad were also ordered. I know... it was quite a huge late night sushi dinner. We left full for sure and a little bit to take home. Rainbow Roll was in good portion and tasted amazing... I would order this again. Seaweed Salad was delicious... a must get to complement with sushi and sashimi! Cucumber Special Roll was just okay for me... I didn't get the WOW factor from it. I think the cucumber and the rest of the roll just don't go too well together... maybe it's the water from the cucumber... not really sure. Staff was friendly, quite attentive, and provided excellent service throughout. They made our dining experience exceptionally pleasant. Thank you! We may be back to try their other specialty rolls and get more salmon.

It's definitely more of a takeout spot, but they do have a few tables and chairs in the corner. They also sell a small selection of Japanese grocery items inside. I ordered the Hokkaido Bowl, which came with Japanese scallops, ikura, three pieces of salmon, three pieces of seared salmon, imitation crab, blue crab, masago, and cucumber. The wait was definitely worth it. All the ingredients were very fresh, and the sushi rice was prepared well. The portion was generous and filling without being too much and I really enjoyed the variety of fish in the bowl. A very cute mom and pop shop that I would definitely come back to try more of their menu!
