As someone who only likes cooked food, this is my favorite sushi place. I always come here when I'm at Haven City Market to order the Baked Lobster Roll. They use langostinos, bake sauce, masago (fish roe) and eel sauce, on top of California rolls. So it's a better California roll, and they don't skimp on the meat, either. If you don't like sweets, then ask for no eel sauce. It's a melt-in-your-mouth heavenly experience. Just a heads up, it takes a while for them to prepare though, like 20-30 minutes. But since almost everything else is fried at this venue, it's worth the wait. read more

i was looking for a omakase in the IE for a special day and found this. Upon arrival i was kind of stunned to see that it was in a food plaza but i was pleasantly surprised.!!!!!!I highly recommend coming here for omakase! i opted for the 13 item premium course for 80$ It was more filling than i anticipated and the fish was exquisite with the finest quality. every bite i took was savory , buttery and smooth. I will definitely be coming back . The chef was also very informative so i knew what i was stuffing down my mouth. Despite not usually choosing fish like albacore , theirs was very delicious and changed my perspective . Overall price is worth it , service was great and DONT BE OFF PUT BY THR LOCATION It's actually very nice because u can get drinks or dessert after as well!!! DO NOT HESITATE TO COME AND I WOULD SAY PLACE RESERVATION read more

Updated review after going here 4 times Shokunin tastes and flavors are still pretty good. They do indeed switch up the fish and toppings so it feels fresh. Unagi is still a perfect buttery finish. However, going on an apparently busy Monday night, service and overall experience took a hit. Our chef forgot to tell us what the fish was 2-3x Then when we went on another Monday, the seaperch combo was so bitter. Also don't like the fact that they serve escolar (aka butterfish aka white tuna) which for those uninitiated, can cause GI issues I hope shokunin doesn't cause a downturn read more

PLEASANTLY surprised that there's actually a VERY good omakase spot inside Haven City Market. Straight to the point - HIGHLY recommended sushi omakase restaurant. Small, cozy, private, delicious, authentic, friendly, and you might even forget that you're in a type of general, open area food market because you'll be too deep into the savory taste of every single delicacy served by the sushi chefs. Located in Haven City Market, parking can be rough during rush hours so best to go early and avoid the stress. Reservations can be made via Open Table app. Accommodations are difficult with babies but the staff here is very helpful and make it work for families. If you're not familiar with omakase - don't be afraid to try it! It's a fun and memorable experience where sushi chefs will simply make a course of their own specialized selections. You don't get to choose what you want - that's the best part. Relax, sit back, and enjoy not having to think. Just eat! You'll have a wooden tray in front of you. Keep that clear as your chef will place each sushi on it as your omakase course goes on. Don't want omakase? Don't fret! Feel free to select your own sushi at your convenience similar to any other sushi restaurant out there. Biggest tip I can share for omakase newcomers - do NOT dip your finely presented sushi into any sauce. Don't use soy sauce or any other sauces that aren't served with your specialized sushi. Sushi chefs will prep it perfectly as intended, so my best advice is to simply eat it as it's served. Don't add or take anything away from it. Enjoy the wholesome of each sushi at this spot - these sushi chefs know what they're doing and they've already applied each sushi's unique ingredients to elevate your omakase experience! I'll be honest, I had low expectations for an omakase spot located in an open market as I'm typically familiar with these being more private, isolated, hole in the wall scenery, and outside of Rancho Cucamonga. From the first bite to the last, my family and I were SHOCKINGLY surprised at how succulent, delicious, and authentic each and every sushi tasted! This place severely exceeded our expectations and it's incredible to know that such an omakase course can be enjoyed close to home! As usual, we started off with a warm dive into hot sake. It was beautifully served in small cups of koi fish and we enjoyed every drop. For omakase, we went with the premium course of 13 pieces, and each sushi served did NOT disappoint. If you're super hungry, just enjoy the course, submerge yourself into the experience, and if still hungry there're many other options in the food court of Haven City Market. Staff was fantastic, service was prompt and friendly, reservations were easy to make via Open Table, parking was simple in the early hours, sushi was authentic and may delicioso, sushi chef was down to earth and excellent, and their cozy ambience allows you to forget you're even in an open food market! Hands down highly recommended sushi omakase. I've had the fortunate opportunity to experience a Michelin Star sushi omakase and I must say, this spot may be close to Michelin Bib Gourmand! read more

Yellowtail roll took 30 min on a Tuesday night. I don't mind waiting for good food but this wasn't it. The restaurant was empty inside and there was no line, my fault for ignoring the warning signs. The roll was a disappointment, it was drenched in ponzu sauce and the fish didn't look fresh, falling apart at the seams. read more

Came in Tonight for Mother's Day just to grab dinner with Friends! Made a reservation for 4 relatively Easily using Open Table. This is Definitely a smaller Intimate seating Arrangement so Big Parties please be Aware. They offer Omakase and A La Carte as well as Togo. ( we visited Rancho inside of Haven city Market) We opted for A La Carte! We tried nigiri, handrolls, and a Chirashi Bowl! The fish was All Fresh and rice nice and warm. Portions of fish were very Fair. They were a bit Understaffed so we were understanding of the wait times and checking out at the End. Everything was so good! Highly recommend but Be mindful of busy times. The staff were very kind despite a few Hiccups! 10/10 will visit again and try the Omakase. read more

Ive eaten here once but have tried a few times. The one time I actually got their omakase bento it was pretty good, but kinda pricey for what it is. Their restaurant always looks messy and not quite premium with a lot of clutter. I can kinda overlook that if the food was good. It was just ok, with the Haven City Market markup. Then I tried to just order another premium bento priced at $70.00 because I wanted to treat myself. Was second in line and after the person was done ordering, the lady at the register then oeft to go into the kitchen immediately and didn't really come back out for a while. Even the sushi chef said aorry well be with you shortly. She definitely wasnt so I just left. And Ive noticed that this place never really has anyone readily available. The place is messy, inattentive service, and priced high. If this is such a premium place why the messy and cluttered restaurant? Why inattentive service and why the high prices? Make it make sense price wise. I can condone the messy and cluttered restaurant and poor service but while youre charging 70 for a sushi bento....yeah I will be expecting good service. I dont think this sushi place is worth the money or time. It gives generic sushi place but charges MORE than Little Tokyo LA prices. No thanks. read more

We went here many times and always order the omakase. In the beginning it was delicious, but later the quality went downhill. I feel like the fish aren't fresh at all. There weren't much flavor. The nigiri were always the same. The rolls they change it up. I'm not sure if we will continue coming again. read more

We opted to dine in and walked in and weren't welcomed at all. Basically it's an amakase place where it's the chefs choice of sushi. So we then ordered take out and sat in the market instead. We got a yellowtail roll, Philadelphia roll, tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll, unagi sushi, and Ikura sushi. I didn't like the sushi rice at all. Was the sushi fresh? I think some of it. When we were driving home with leftovers the imitation crab smelled like canned tuna. Ok they don't put eel sauce on the eel sushi super weird you have to pay 75 cents for it and it was already expensive. Would I return? Probably not honestly. It's a pretty confusing spot. Maybe if this changed. read more

A hidden gem. I would never think to go to omakase in a food court (a nice food court though) but my family and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. It's great when your taste buds are feeling fancy but your face & body are feeling casual. Delicious pieces of sushi in an intimate setting, and I felt like it was pretty affordable as far as omakase goes. read more

have you ever had a sushi chef ASKED you for free sake? usually, the customer buys/enjoys the sake and at their discretions, sometimes, they would ask if the sushi chef would like to have some. NOT HERE. we sat down, ordered the sake, waited for at least 5 minutes without getting any attentions so we were just drinking sake on our own and chatting away... finally, the chef gave us some gingers and said hello... first course finally came and what came also? the chef put his sake cup on the counter and said 'sake!' my friend complied... I was puzzled and asked my friend 'did you ask him if he wanted some sake?' nope... he asked for it. and did it happen only once? NO! at the end of the meal, he again spoke loudly while he put his cup in front of our counter 'sake!' - that was the last shot of our sake. the meal itself was ok, some pieces had too much unnecessary oil/seasoning, since it was at a food court, there wasn't any 'ambiance'... the whole place had a very strong fishy smell at times... at least the chef remembered I did not want wasabi the entire night. I would not go back. read more

Updating my review because it's been a couple years and this is still the best sushi in the IE hands down. I can't recommend this place enough, and I love bringing friends and fam here because they always leave impressed. I always look forward to uni and unagi, but anything Tony decides to make is going to taste amazing. I haven't had one bad meal from here ever, even if it was just take out on a random weekday. They expanded their drink list with a variety of unique and familiar offerings. The only thing they need is some chamisul fresh. read more

Just stopped at this place after looking it up on Yelp. Walked right in at about 8pm and was immediately served with their full omakase dinner. It punched far above its weight and Peter the sushi chef was great. Go here before you go to Sushi Chitose in Long Beach or Nozomi in Torrance. It's better than both. read more

Located inside the Haven city market, small little sushi spot. Fire sushi, chefs were great as well. You'd expect it to be mid inside a place like haven city market but nahh , certified. If you order alchy, make sure you give the chef some like you should. Could have wait at times since spot is small, plan accordingly. read more

This is the most disappointing omakase experience I've had. I had high hopes for what seemed like a hidden gem but should have known that premium omakase for $75 was too good to be true. Not only did our omakase chef minimally interact with us, but we also noticed he was wearing a ring and no gloves which doesn't seem to be the best food safety practice when directly handling food. Overall, the quality of the fish was pretty subpar and sliced thinly. We felt that, at times, the lack of freshness of the fish was disguised using the blowtorch, sauces, and garnishes. The halibut was pretty stringy and we even found small pieces of bone embedded in the fish. The ootoro had large stringy sections as well and was not buttery soft. Everything else was passable enough but not comparable to nicer restaurants and a far cry from Michelin star omakase like other reviewers mentioned. read more

Shokunin - Premium Omakase - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Our group decided to treat ourselves to a nice lunch and my friend suggested a temaki & nigiri bar in Haven City Market. I took the initiative and made a lunch reservation via OpenTable, although it turned out to be unnecessary since there were only two parties dining during lunch hours on Saturday. [Parking]: Haven City Market offers convenient parking options with a large and free private parking lot. [Menu]: Two omakase options - basic Course (10 piece course) for $55.00 or Premium Course (13 piece course) for $65.00. Additionally, they also provided a variety of a la carte options to cater to individual preferences. *** Premium Course (13 piece course for $65.00: Our party had bluefin tuna, salmon, hamachi/yellowtail, escolar & garlic chips, sea bream, albacore, amberjack, agedashi tofu, halibut, squid, seared toro, eel (unagi), and spicy hand roll. Each fish tasted fresh and the warm sushi rice was great. Personally, I particularly relished the unagi nigiri since I have a sucker for eel. The whole experience felt like I was being transported into the depths of the ocean. *** The service provided was friendly as expected from an omakase experience. However, like many other omakase meals I've had, our party felt around 75% full by the end of the course. While the overall omakase experience was quite solid and met our expectations, I couldn't help but feel that it lacked a few standout items like sweet shrimp and sea urchin, which would have elevated it to a five-star dining experience. read more

One of my 3 favorite sushi places in Rancho so far. Nigiris were fresh and good service. On my second visit i tried the Omakase and for sure i can recommend it. read more

A must stop whenever I'm in Rancho! I have been coming here since they opened! Tony is amazing, we won't go unless we're seated with him lol. The omokase is 10/10. They never miss! The spread of sushi has always been so fresh and well proportioned. They always feature different fish depending on season as well! I love their spin on their sushi, super refreshing and unique. Service has always been great and food comes out at a great pace. Everytime I introduce someone here, they always come back! read more

Shokunin - My absolute favorite - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Super unique pairings and flavors with a contemporary twist! Be sure to make a reservation though! This place is located within Haven City Market. It's surrounded by other restaurants and shops, so the experience isn't like walking into an isolated restaurant building. We ordered the premium 13 piece course for $65. For the quality and presentation of the fish, I think this is super worth it. If this place was in DTLA, the price would be way higher so you're really getting your money's worth. Some of my favorite pieces include the scallop with sea salt and yuzu, salmon sushi with lemon, and escolar with truffle oil and a garlic chip. I will say the experience feels slightly rushed because the pieces come one after another really quickly. However, for the price point this is definitely a must try place! read more

I've tried this place twice now so I feel like I can give it a fair review. I am not sure what the omakase sit down experience is like but this is for my take out orders. The first time I had the sushi bombs. The photos looked super appetizing but when I actually tasted them, I could only think of one word. FISHY... and that's never a good sign for sushi. I gave this place another try recently and ordered the spicy tuna and yellowtail roll for $17.95. I forgot the name but again my partner and I were hit with that fishy taste again. No mater how many sauces you try to cover the fish with, when it's not fresh, it's not fresh. That's unfortunate but for the same prices, you can just hit up the other plethora of sushi places around. I don't know if they save the good stuff for omakase but the take out fish is not it. read more

Awesome I had the 8 pieces nigiri set. It's $37. I think it's worth it. Fresh. Found a good place in Rancho can have sushi read more

The food was really good I would definitely recommend this place to eat at. It feels like you're in Japan. The only thing that I really didn't like was that you had to ask for soy sauce every time you wanted more soy sauce. I wish they would have kept a bottle of soy sauce in front of you. read more

Came here during the pandemic but forgot to hit post. This has been sitting in my drafts for almost 2 years. Seated outdoors with lots of flies buzzing around. Food is meh. Rice is probably the worst I've had for an omakase place and that is 70% of what makes a nigiri sushi good. Ordered otoro and the fish itself was frozen in the middle. literally as hard as ice. Wasn't edible.. Good effort from the young chef though. 1 star for courage. read more

Absolutely exceeded our expectations. A omakase in a food hall sounded interesting and we were lucky to grab a last minute reservation (which is recommended). Everything was super fresh and prepared by Chef Sam. We ordered the 13 course premium omakase. Our favorites were the eel with mascarpone cheese, lemon pepper salmon, seared escolar, and halibut. The omakase comes with a handroll at the end and platter of ice cream mochi for dessert. Super friendly staff. Shokunin has some dividers that somewhat separate it from the rest of the food hall making it a surprisingly intimate experience. Would definitely come back to try their other items as at our reservation time it was omakase only. read more

I think that Shokunin is one of the better places to dine at in Haven City Market and I think that they offer a fair omakase course. I would rate it at a 6.7/10. I went with the premium 13 course omakase which was priced at $65. There were some really good pieces that stood out like the escolar, the eel with the mascarpone, and the salmon with lemon pepper and miso; the others were a little underwhelming. I would say my favorite piece was the escolar and I even re ordered it after the course ended. I think one of the downsides on this course was that many of the courses were sprinkled with lemon/lime zest. While that isn't necessarily a bad thing, I felt that I was getting the same flavors every time. The spicy tuna hand roll they offered as the 12th course had a flavor that overpowered the taste I was expecting from the tuna. Total time for the course was about 1 hour and 15 minutes and I didn't feel rushed. I believe the chef we had was newer and training under the main chef. She did well throughout the course, no complaints. I wish our server balanced their attention throughout the customers and didn't focus on having one conversation throughout the whole course. I didn't really get a refill on my water until around the last course... I think that this is a good restaurant if you had never tried an omakase course and you're on the edge about spending over $150 on a course or if you want to get into trying omakase style menus. I would recommend making reservations as well! read more

Located inside Haven City Market. Parking was plentiful but it's super crowded and we still had to park a bit far away. Shokunin is fairly priced omakase but honestly the quality of the fish is not good. I would say the quality of Sugarfish is comparable but slightly better, so if you don't mind the drive to LA, you're better off going there. But if you're looking for a place in the IE that's decent for a date night, this will probably be your spot. Some of the fish had too much going on topping wise. It didn't really highlight the fish so just goes to show how subpar the quality is here. The best piece of nigiri of the night was definitely the scallop. Overall, I would recommend coming here if you are looking for a nice spot to go that's affordable. But you get what you pay for. read more

Shokunin - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

This may have very well been the best meal of my life. My wife and I shared a bottle of their "Southern Charm" sake and each got the premium, 13 course, omakase. It amounted to $65 per person for the sushi, and $50 for the bottle of sake. After tax and tip, we spent a little under $280 and it was worth every penny. Every single dish was incredible. I didn't catch what all of them were, but I can say that the eel, the o-toro, and the salmon roe were highlights for me. There were some flavor combinations we had never had before. The service was excellent. They'd refill our water or palate cleansing ginger as we went through it. For a no-reservation Omakase seating on a Thursday, we were sat within 20 minutes. There are only about 12 seats every 90 minutes, so I definitely recommend making a reservation unless you're taking away. But, truly, I recommend you sit and enjoy the food the chef prepares at his discretion. You can let them know any allergies, strong dislikes, and heat tolerance ahead of time. There were three allergies at my seating, and the chef would sometimes prepare a speciality dish to substitute for the party who couldn't share the dish. The chef was friendly. We shared sake and compliments with him, and he ended up giving us closer to 15-20 dishes. He definitely gave me some extras and leftover portions. My wife enjoyed the Omakase at Sugarfish before, and said this was exponentially better and for a fraction of the price. It's unexpectedly fine dining for the farmers' market sort of environment, but absolutely worth a trip or visit for a special occasion. This is a place you want to splurge and go with the flow! All I can say is that from Japanese, Shokunin translates to artisan or craftsman, and that is absolutely the proper name for this restaurant. This wasn't just the best sushi I've ever had, it was some of the best--if not THE best--food I've ever had. I can't recommend it enough, and I will definitely return! read more

My wife and I dined at their new location in Redlands. It was the best sushi we've had and it's so much closer to our home. The owner Daniel and his team are super friendly and attentive. We chose to try omakase for the first time and our food was amazing. The chefs are very knowledgeable and they make every bite full of flavor. It's located in the lower level of the Redlands food market and it's like a hidden away oasis. They don't have a Yelp up for the new location yet but once they do I plan on posting again there. This is our new go to spot for sushi. read more

Came here for my birthday lunch and really enjoyed my time. To be honest I wasn't expecting too much because of the great price of the omakase but then again it is in a food hall so it makes sense. However, after the whole dining experience it makes me forget that I was in a food hall since the whole environment was rather private. And it worked out because there are so many good dessert choices in the food hall afterwards. Since their omakase no longer offer dessert anymore. We ordered the premium omakase with 12 pcs of sushi and one hand roll, also added an order of scallop at the end since that was the only sushi we didn't get to try. Chef Tony took really good care of us and we even had a great convo about where to get good sushi. He gave us some great recs. Each piece of sushi has a little bit of their own twist with different sauces and toppings. I liked the escolar sushi that had truffle oil but I ate that too fast before taking a photo. I actually had smoked sushi before at another omakase but I liked the garlic chili that went on top of the albacore. The shrimp sushi was good and I like how they fried the shrimp head and comes out with the sushi. One sad thing is that they didn't have my favorite uni that day. But I really enjoyed the sushi and it was really great value. I will definitely be back to try more fish again. read more

This was my very first omakase experience and I am so happy that Tony was the chef. You can definitely taste the quality in each fish. Tony really took the time to make the overall experience a memorable one, not only with the sushi, but with his recommendations of the sake to pair with the fish. I cannot express how good each fish tasted. The quality was better than I expected or anticipated. I definitely expect to be back again because it was a great experience. Each piece of sushi just got better and better. I highly recommend this place for good quality sushi. I would also recommend making reservations! With the reservation we were able to really get the full omakase experience with the chef. read more

While writing a review for another restaurant, I realized that I hadn't written one yet for Shokunin. I really should have written this review many months ago. So here is my long overdue review. I've been to Shokunin now a total of 3 times with my wife. Twice for our anniversary and once for my birthday. Every single time has been an absolutely amazing experience. We both get the omakase each time. The 1-on-1 interactions with the chef really elevates the entire experience as he explains to us each piece as it comes out, what it is, where it comes from, and how he prepares it. Each visit is slightly different from the previous. What they serve is entirely up to what ingredients they get fresh that day. For the price, you are really getting so much more than what you're paying. They are located in the middle of the Haven City Marketplace, surrounded by numerous other food options. Out of all the food options there, Shokunin is the best in terms of food quality and care of ingredients, in my opinion. Make your reservations if you come here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Interesting omakase spot inside a food court. It was a bit too loud for my liking and the chef did not really interact with us like he did with the other group. Not sure if there was a time limit but we felt really rushed. The nigiris were piling up on our board before we got to it. Fish was fresh but sliced really thin so the rice to fish portion is quite off. $55-60 per person for 13 pieces which is pretty cheap. It was the first time I had gochujung inside my handroll. I don't think I'll be returning. read more

I live in Las Vegas and whenever I come to the IE for work I always think about coming here. Thankfully tonight I did again!

It is such a great spot that I cannot recommend enough. read more

Fantastic omakase sushi join in the mall. For 13 pieces of nigiri, it's only $55 per person. Not an expensive meal by San Francisco standard. Toro was amazing. I had a couple of extra pieces. Melts in your mouth kind of good. You can also get a 10 piece nigiri. Slightly less. The spicy hand roll was delicious to cap the evening off. I understand the chef makes up his omakase based on what's in season and what's the freshest on the market, which makes the visit so much more fun as you don't have to try the same thing twice. I imagine if this was in SF it would be much more expensive. Each piece was well prepared by the chef. Hands down an experience not to be missed in Ontario area. read more

Not even sure where to begin but here we go. The front area of this food hall sushi spot is beyond uninviting and super confusing. First thing I was asked is if I was dining in or carrying out? I opted to dine in and was immediately told I could not order anything off the menu and had to order the omakase (chefs selection of sushi) which was weird. I was told to sit anywhere as I was the only person in this spot and throughout the entirety of my meal, all this while there were hundreds of people eating at other spots. The chef spoke very little English and was hard to understand but he did know his craft and was super nice. The server told me I could go for the regular omakase 10 pieces $80 or premium 13 pieces $90. The food is not fresh and although each piece is presented well I had stomach issues following this trip. I received 13 pieces of very mediocre nigiri sushi including blue fin, scallops, squid, salmon, and others. This also included 1 small maki hand roll. The price tag of $90 for very little food is absurd not to mention there were flying insects all over which forces this spot to add little fans all around. Overall opinion is that they are trying hard to be a premium omakase spot and failing hard hence only one customer during lunch time. read more

This is where you say... "I died and went to sushi heaven". Basically, yes it's in Rancho and it's in haven city which is mostly casual eateries, but this place is like having a true taste of Japan locally. I've eaten at Nobu, Zuma, sugar fish, and countless other spots in LA, and the sushi here is next level. The omakase experience here is absolutely worth it. The sushi Ala carte is also incredible. My favorites are the bluefin, the seared salmon nigiri (ask for it), the Japanese scallop and of course the torro. I will say I'm not an eel person but the best eel role I've had is here. read more
