Happened to be the last people to leave... so thank you so much for being patient with us! The Wagyu fried rice: amazing Fried SSC: definitely will order again Hamachi Kama: not bad, wished it would have been scaled a bit more or skinned cooked. Edamame: average, wanted it to be pieces of garlic and something more but did the trick. NO Roll: fresh, good flavor and I'm a sucker for lemon pieces with the rind for depth. Loved this Inside was clean, soft music and overall the experience was great.

Fried Calamari
Brian D.

Well, this place was a bit disappointing. If you look at my other reviews, I'm pretty generous with my scores, giving the benefit of the doubt to the place, but this wasn't the best experience we could have had. We were seated pretty quickly, which was nice. The server came right away and asked for our drink order. I asked for a water along with tea and didn't get the water until I reminded the server, when he was refilling drinks for people in my party (which is a pretty long time). The calamari was pretty hard and crunchy, but not in a good way. The inside was chewy and wouldn't break apart when you bit it. The katsu was okay. Not a fan of the sauce and the bottom of the chicken was pretty greasy, but it was juicy. I did like the salad, and we never received our miso soups, which are supposed to come with the meal and didn't realize it until part way through eating our entrees, so at that point it wasn't worth it to ask. The tonkatsu ramen, wasn't my son's favorite and he loves that stuff. My wife wasn't a fan of the fried rice, but said the teriyaki chicken was okay. I think what put the icing on the cake was that it took forever to get the bill picked up. My wife ended up getting a host to pick it up and run it. I do the like interior, it looks nice, but at this point I would rather go to Wabi Sabi Eastvale for food and service to our expectations. I will try this place again to see if it was just an off day for them.

My wife and I have been wanting to try this place for the last 3 years. We got the Premium Chirashi Lunch Donburi and fried calamari. The lunch donburi came with soup and salad and it was all delicious. The fish literally melted in your mouth. The calamari was decent but we prefer the other type of calamari that are not shaped like onion rings. The service was excellent. Jacob took care of us and was always friendly and checking up on us. Environment and area are great. It's located in a great plaza of other restaurants. We will definitely be back.

Sake Roll
Vera L.

Pretty good sushi spot around this area with reasonable prices. We ordered the sake roll (shrimp tempura with salmon), chirsashi bowl, soft shell crab tempura, and some yellowtail sashimi. It also includes complimentary salad and miso soup with the bowl. The place was clean and looks upscale. Overall good dining experience.

Sushi & Sashimi Combination Sashimi Deluxe

Fish quality here is Superb! Tenmaya is located in the Hamner Place Center. My boyfriend and I, came here on a Sunday night for dinner. Once you step in you are greeted by the host, who offers you a VIP loyalty card which is free to sign up for (if you visit their restaurant and spend a certain amount, you get a discount on future dining). The interior of the restaurant is modern and elevated, it is a great place to take a date, or dine with a group of 4-6 people. What we ordered: Pink whisper drink 7/10- light & refreshing Ankimo 9/10- fresh &creamy Chilean sea bass 8/10- I like to try CSB at every restaurant I visit that has it on the menu. Their seabass is good, but I've had better. Truffle udon 7/10- creamy & udon cooked al dente (just how I like it). Sashimi deluxe platter 10/10: my boyfriend and I had not seen any photos of the sashimi deluxe pot that we ordered, so as soon as the server brought it out, our eyes widened and jaws dropped. First of all, the platter was absolutely beautiful , there was dry ice that was cascading out of the bamboo fixture, like a waterfall, over the bed of ice, and pieces of the sashimi weee decorated with fresh wasabi and 18K gold. Our server gave us a presentation, so that we knew what we were eating, and once we picked up the first piece of sashimi with our chopsticks and ingested it, it was LOVE at FIRST BITE! Although most of the items were tried were good. The Sashimi was the definite star for us. My boyfriend and I agreed that our main focus to order on our next visit is the sashimi. Tenmaya has become my favorite Sashimi restaurant in town!

Fantasy Roll. Delish and creamy.
Dorris T.

Stopped by today to have lunch with my husband and we were craving Japanese food. And this place didn't disappoint. I ordered the fantasy roll and my husband had the chicken bento box. Both were just delish. And Alyssa was just super. She made a great suggestion for my husband's bento box. We thank her for doing that. The iced matcha green tea with lemon was delish. Alyssa suggested that too. The decor inside is just very clean and beautiful. We will definitely come back next time we are in the area. Great food great service and a beautiful feel to the restaurant.

Sushi & Sashimi Combination
Melissa C.

Came here on a weekday afternoon with my toddler and I was one of the only two parties there, which I absolutely loved. I ordered the sushi and sashimi combination from their lunch menu and everything came out so fast. The fish was fresh and tasty. I ordered their fried oysters too and they were delicious! Bonus points for the beautiful plating. The waitress was super helpful and kind. I'm definitely going to have to come back to try the toro uni.

Omakase.
Christel H.

The taste of Japan, after missing the omakase there this hit the spot. Service was on point and they seem to be pretty busy but such a cute spot. Definitely one to come back to.

Sashimi Deluxe
Patrick Y.

I ordered the Filet Mignon and Colossal Shrimp. The taste is great and the Filet Mignon was cooked to my specification. Our waiteess Allyssa was great and took good care of our table. I will come back again.

Sushi is the best, great customer service since the moment we walked in. Our server Reese was great! Would definitely recommend coming here to eat!

Crispy onion albacore

If you love sushi with a nice presentation then here it is! The food is so good and the vibe is friendly . It is a hidden gem. The staff is amazing. The jumbo scallops are a must try. We had the premium platter and the uni toro! The beer tower was great too.

100% recommended! My manager decided to surprise me with a lunch with my team members for my birthday. This place has plenty of parking on the front and it has a very clean feel and brightly lit. The have plenty of options in the menu. We each ordered whatever we wanted, a few appetizers and a big sushi dish. We were unclear as to which dishes included soup/salad but we got a few and shared since we didn't all get one. The spicy edamame to share was really good with just enough spice. The miso soup was nice and hot with little bit of tofu and seaweed. I ordered the soft shell crab for myself and it came without much to it just the crab and a sauce, but that's all it needed the sauce went really well with the crab. The sushi platter was amazing! I liked every single piece I tried and we enjoyed the experience. It comes out in a beautiful presentation but not too versatile for sharing in a big table so we did have to take some of the decor off. At the end, they brought ice cream with a star shaped sparkler for my birthday. Overall we all had a good time, the staff was super friendly and helpful and the food was delicious!

Uni and Yellowtail belly sushi

Wonderful place for dining out. The place is a bit pricey but you get high quality food and great service. The fishes were all very fresh. Highly recommend the Sushi Pizza. It's has a nice crunchy bottom, and full of flavor. The Habachi is a good portion. The steak and shrimp were cooked really well.

Great food is important, but great service is what turns a meal into an exceptional dining experience, and he delivered both. From the moment we walked in until the time we left, he was attentive, prompt, respectful, and genuinely kind. I also noticed how he interacted with the other tables around us. Every guest seemed to feel like they had his full attention, which is a rare quality. I work in an industry where I do a lot of hiring, and Luis is exactly the kind of person we look for. His professionalism, attentiveness, and customer service made a lasting impression. Thank you, Luis, for making a great meal even better. We'll definitely be back!

You can get Australian Lobster tail and a flat-iron steak, or you can get fish and chips, or a burger. It's really nice inside, but you'll see many guests in shorts. My recommendations: Apps- ahi tostadas, crab cakes, or calamari Entree- miso black cod (like Nobu), braised short rib, or chicken Marsala. Dessert - creme brulè or carrot cake

Yesterday I had one of their seafood salads, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and you could tell it was made with care. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for authentic, fresh, and delicious seafood, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!

This is one of those places that really needs your Yelp help. It is located in an eclectic…read moreneighborhood, a very rural area called Mira Loma, but on a well-known, main thoroughfare. Google Maps turns you into a dusty asphalt driveway where, in the front is one stucco building that might have been someone's house at one time, and in the back is one very worn, almost sleazy, one-story building where three tiny Mom & Pop businesses compete for space. There is nothing fancy to see here, with the exception of the tiny, covered patio at the entry and a claustrophobic ordering counter on the other side of a sliding glass door. The patio walls are lined with bamboo, a couple taxidermied blue marlin, and some seaside-themed, tropical decor. There are maybe 4 tables and a cluster of chairs. I imagine, in the heat of the summer, it gets pretty hot and uncomfortable in here. And yet, reading the food reviews will make your heart go pitter-patter. Their specialty is mariscos with a Baja spin. Ceviche, shrimp cocktails, fish soup, fish tacos and burritos, to name a few. They also have swordfish and salmon on their menu. We came for the fish tacos and were we in store for a surprise! The chunk of fried fish in each taco was as big as a huge chicken tender. Our tacos were filled with moist, great tasting white fish (not tilapia)! The tortillas, hence, had to be the larger size, not street taco sized. The batter was crispy and exceptional, with a light, herbal flavor. The finishing touch was a pile of toppings, including shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, finely chopped cucumber, and an insanely delicious white crema-mayo sauce. I think the unexpected cucumber added a unique, refreshing element to an already excellent taco. The only downfall was that the corn tortilla fell apart before I could get it into my mouth. Heh, I can live with that...just give me a fork. If you thought the price of 1 taco ($4.50) was too expensive, you are wrong. One taco here is the equivalent of two tacos elsewhere. That's a great deal! This is not fast food. The fish is cooked to order. Plan on a wait. Although this is essentially a covered, outdoor dining enclosure with a dutch door style gate, please note. Pets are not allowed. There is no pet-friendly section, nor shady areas to park in their bleak parking lot. The irony of this was the number of off-leash dogs we saw wandering around the parking lot. We saw three small to medium sized dogs, and no owner. We ended up bringing our food and personna-non-grata pup home. They did a nice job with the fish tacos, and one of their customers assured me the fried and/or grilled shrimp tacos and mojo de ajo shrimp were excellent. This means only one thing...we shall return, but without the chihuahua fur baby.

When we first walked in, the place looked empty, and my wife and I almost considered leaving. Just as we were about to head out, a server came over, seated us, and explained the menu. The $45 menu is extensive, featuring a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes such as escargot (ốc), pho, and bò né (Vietnamese sizzling beef steak), among many others. We ordered escargot with tamarind sauce, oysters with cheese, a lobster special, rau muống (water spinach) with garlic, glass noodles, and a ribeye steak. This isn't a typical buffet--each dish is cooked to order. It took about 15 minutes since there were only two chefs, but the wait was absolutely worth it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. The lobster was a whole lobster with claws, and the ribeye was a generous cut served sizzling at the table. The portions are large, and our server kindly warned us ahead of time--we're glad we listened! The owner was friendly, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. My wife and I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. It's great to have quality Vietnamese food nearby without having to travel all the way to OC.

FANTASTIC PLACE FOR FOOD AND A PARTY!…read more I had the privilege of being invited to a party with some friends who had booked their event with Sea Queen Restaurant and I cannot deny that I was only impressed with the food, decor, staff, and the entire experience. If you are interested in booking your own event here, I recommend it. If you have no events coming up and just want some amazing food, still come here for that too! Amazing dishes are cooked and served here. It is mostly Vietnamese cuisine that you would find here, but hey... who doesn't enjoy this kind of cuisine? There is so much this restaurant has to offer. Not to mention there are weekly events; even a karaoke night. Lastly, if you enjoy sea snails, escargot, and don't want to drive out of the IE to the OC for some... just come here!
