    The delicious and lemony Lemon Blossom
    Tom C.

    We came to SushiYa in San Dimas this past weekend to celebrate a birthday, and I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised by just how much I liked this place. when I hear that a restaurant is part of a small chain, my expectations tend to drop a little. Not because I'm a snob, but because somehow the more locations a place has, the more likely it seems that the food starts tasting like it was designed by a committee. Actually, I am a snob. I lied earlier. First, the atmosphere is great. The interior has cozy little booths and tables, with fake cherry blossoms spread across the ceiling, which somehow manages to feel charming rather than cheesy. It's intimate enough for a date night, but comfortable enough to hang out with friends and spend some time over dinner. There's a warmth to the place that makes you want to stick around for another roll... and then another roll... and eventually you are fatter than a tick on a Texas hound dog. The service was also excellent. We had a couple of servers, but Lily really stood out. She was friendly, chatty, and genuinely helpful. Good service is what I expect when I go out to eat, but when I remember someone's name afterward and feel compelled to mention them in a Yelp review, that's a pretty strong indication that they were doing something right. Nice job Lily and thank you. Everything we had was fresh, flavorful, and really well executed. We tried the Lemon Blossom, Salmon and Mango Delight, and Venice Roll, and all three were excellent. We tried some drinks and appetizers too, but I already know you're thinking this review is too wordy. Each had its own thing going on, and everything tasted fresh and super flavorful. For sushi at this price point, I think SushiYa is a terrific value. You get a nice atmosphere, genuinely great service, and food that makes you immediately start thinking about what you're going to order the next time you come back. And apparently I'm already thinking about that. In fact, I may be driving there right now as I write this review. Which, in retrospect, is probably not a great idea. If the police see me, I'm probably getting a ticket. Whoa, I just ran a stop sign. So if you're reading this and there's a noticeable lack of punctuation at the end, just know that the final sentence of this Yelp review was probably written through tears as I look at how much this citation is costing me. Anyway, check out Sushi Ya. Good stuff.

    We've been coming here for a few years and the one thing that stands out is their high quality fish and the care the chefs take in their craft. I'm always impressed and always say Thank You when we leave. Everything from the sushi, to the ramen, to the uni, and the wonderful sake selection. OH! And the Kurobuta sausage is divine! I've tried uni several times and didn't like it, but the uni here surprised me!!! I appreciate that they choose fresh quality uni. I love how they plate all their food. Feels great when the food is amazing and looks amazing. Also, their staff is always smiling, super attentive, and the most friendly. Thank you for taking such good care of us when we come in. Oh! And they change their menu often, or add new items to try. I look forward to each visit. Also the place is so cute! Very well decorated. Love the vibes. Very clean. Also, the Yuzu sake is fantastic!!! Looking forward to coming here for many more years. Thank you!

    We discovered this cute little place for sushi! The interior was so cute, like walking under Sakura trees at night :) the lunch specials Tuna lover & albacore lover (nigiri & cut rolls) were fresh and delicious. Edamame came in a big bowl and the shishito peppers too, which I loved! Service was on point, very pleasant. The wasabi was in a daisy shape. Cute. Would love to return to try other items. Parking is easy.

    9-piece omakasi sushi
    Simon C.

    Pretty fresh and authentic sushi in a nice Japanese izakaya setting. The place was pretty full on a Sunday night. However, our Yelp reservation got us a table ahead of a few groups. The hostesses were friendly and enthusiastic. The raw fish were of high quality, whether in the omakase or the chirachu preparation. The Berkshire sausages were interesting in presentation, but they were a little salty to our taste. I guess because of the quantities of food we ordered (3 appetizers, 2 omakases, 1 chirachi, and one hand roll), we were also given a complimentary uni order, which was really fresh!

    Spicy pepper salmon roll - delicious!
    Lina T.

    The food is still consistently fresh. I still love the spicy pepper roll (might ask for lighter ponzu, it was a bit too drenched today). The lunch bento is such a great deal with a 4 pc sushi combo. Chicken was nice and tender! The eel and avocado was a bit disappointing today because the eel to avocado ratio was not great in some pieces but decent in others. I'm still supportive of the restaurant though! Always glad to have a solid sushi spot in the area though.

    Edamame and Miso Soup
    Ashley N.

    Stopped by Sushiya and had a great experience! We ordered the popcorn crawfish, seared pepper salmon sushi, shrimp tempura roll, miso soup, and edamame, and everything was super fresh and delicious. The prices were very reasonable for the quality, and the restaurant itself has such a cute, cozy vibe. Customer service was great, as well. My only small critique would be the music. The loud pop hits didn't quite match the cool, moody atmosphere. I think some chill lo-fi or mellow instrumental music would fit the space so much better. Either way, we'll definitely be back!

    Sushiya continues to be consistent both in restaurant and to go. The quality of the ingredients and service continues to be fresh, flavorful and welcoming.

    Good Service, good sushi, and good vibes! Definitely a great hidden gem in San dimas! One of my favorite dishes was the garlic edamame

    Chirashi bowl
    Tommy F.

    An absolute gem for sushi lovers. The standout of the meal was the chirashi bowl, which featured an impressive assortment of exceptionally fresh fish imported directly from Japan. Every bite showcased the quality and care that goes into sourcing their ingredients. Beyond the food, the service was attentive and thoughtful without being intrusive, making the entire dining experience feel effortless. Although, beware, this is one of the only sushi restaurants I've been to that doesn't offer refills on green tea. The restaurant itself strikes a perfect balance between modern and inviting, with a chic atmosphere that elevates the meal. If you're looking for top-quality seafood in a stylish setting, this place is definitely worth a visit.

    The servers were great and they did the best they could do but the chefs were watching a movie while cooking and it took 45 minutes to get our food. While my son was in the bathroom the lights turned off and he was stuck in the dark for 2 minutes but luckily he had a flashlight.

    Nice place. Food was tasty. Variety of sushirolls. Fish sashimi was very fresh. Servers are friendly.

    We got immediately seated. Food came out quick. Service and food was good. I can't complain! Affordable pricing among sushi places too. Accommodations of no avocado and no green onion was also made without mistake. Nice cozy restaurant with okay parking Everything was nice. Thank you.

    Do they have all you can eat and if so how much?

    They don't offer AYCE sushi.

    Are there Happy Hour specials and, if so, what days/times?

    I believe happy hour is on weekdays, but call the restaurant to see if they have happy hours on weekends, too.

    Is this an AYCE sushi place?

    No it's not. However, the portions are more than enough to get the job done. Go in ready to eat. Stay hungry my friends 😋

    Is the sushi bar open to sit at?

    No I don't think they let people sit on the bar

    Been coming here for YEARS and at one point, I would have given this a full five stars. While the…read morefood has remained consistently good, the staff has not. I feel like the service used to be a lot better and now there just seems to be more staff turnover, so whenever I come every few months, there are always new faces, with the exception of the two managers/supervisors. The food is good and sushi always tastes fresh. They use a fairly minimal amount of rice on the nigiri, which is a plus, so I can eat more of the fish...hahaha! One of their best things is the baked mussels and to date, they are still at the top of the list compared to all other sushi spots I've been to (and there have been A LOT). They are almost always busy, (unless you come during odd hours between lunch and dinner) so be prepared for a wait. And if you do come during the busy hours, it can get a bit noisy in here, but I don't mind this at all; it just means everyone is enjoying themselves, and I'm all for people being out and socializing. (Get outta the house and off those phones!) Overall, a reliably good sushi spot, if you don't mind 'just okay' service.

    Unfortunately, I definitely wouldn't recommend this place based on our experience. We waited almost…read morean hour to be seated even though they didn't seem very busy. I was also confused about why they offer a regular menu if they're going to push everyone to do the all-you-can-eat option. I was fine doing all-you-can-eat for the adults, but I asked if I could order bento boxes for my kids and was told no, they also had to do all-you-can-eat. It just doesn't make sense or feel worth it for a 5-year-old who is barely going to eat enough to justify the price. Overall, the long wait and lack of flexibility made the experience disappointing.

    I kinda made a little tradition of going to teppanyaki places when my kids were little to celebrate…read morethe end of the school year or promotions. The food is generally decent, but I don't go so much for the food, as I like the concept of a dinner and show for our celebration. So when my youngest had his 8th grade promotion, I found Shogun in La Verne that I made reservations for. I've been to the Pasadena location several times in the past so I am confident with their food and service. The La Verne location is in a big shopping plaza with plenty of parking. We arrived and were seated immediately. I guess our reservation time at 6:00 pm was early enough to avoid the crowds since there was hardly anyone there yet. FYI, there's a happy hour from 3:00 - 6:00 pm. Our server was great, he got us everything we needed and stopped by frequently to check on us. We each ordered a combo, and was so excited to see the "show". I don't know if our chef was new or what, but he was so soft spoken and not very enthusiastic about what he was doing. I couldn't hear anything he was saying and even the train whistle that he blew was so quiet. I clapped and cheered in the beginning to get him going, but he wasn't really engaging, so I was really disappointed. It was so boring. To top that off, our "yakisoba" that came with our meal was linguini noodles. Seriously? Can you get any less authentic? If Panda Express can get Chow Mein noodles in Alaska, you can get yakisoba noodles in SoCal.
