    Date-night sushi, solo self-care lunch, or a quick foodie stop--Handroll by Zeppin inside Cravings Food Hall in Eastvale is such a vibe! We went for the Zeppin Set Menu with six delicious hand rolls, then had to keep going with the spicy tuna crispy rice, toro and salmon belly carpaccio, and a spicy tuna bowl to end it all. Everything tasted fresh, rich, and seriously satisfying. Who are you bringing with you?

    Fish tasted super clean and fresh! Specially the salmon and hamachi! The appetizers were also cooked well! We loved the baked mussels and the tempura. Also the rice on the nigiri well seasoned and complimented the fish! The fish on the carpaccios were thick! And they have a no rice rolls if youre on that low carb diet. Server was nice and gave us recommendations. Also had a smile on his face when taking orders. We definitely will come back here when visiting the area!

    Fried squid - AYCE
    Sy M.

    This is my go-to sushi spot for lunch or dinner with a friend. The AYCE is definitely worth it--it's decently priced, has a great selection, and even comes with a small ice cream at the end. The food has always been fresh and delicious. The space is on the smaller side, so it's not ideal for large groups, but I've never had to wait long to be seated. The service is always friendly, and every server I've had has been really nice. Highly recommend--I'll definitely keep coming back!

    I had come upon dinner time with a friend to enjoy the sushi here. She gave me high ratings about the food, and I was ecstatic about trying it out. We were seated fairly quickly, and the parking outside was easy to find. There wasn't a lot of seating inside and there were some seats outside, but it was a bit warm out. After browsing the menu, we had both decided to order a bento box, two orders of crispy fried salmon, and a pitcher of beer. In my bento box, I had ordered the sashimi and fries tempera. We sat around, enjoying each other's company, when the first side dishes arrived! We had our miso soup and salad happily, and continued our conversations. Afterwards, we both received our bento boxes with our food piled high. We were busy eating and having our discussion, when my friend had mentioned our missing pitcher of Sapporo. She ended up flagging down a worker, whom we noticed, needed to input the order in the system. Didn't we order it already!? We received our pitcher of beer, and continued devouring our bento boxes. After our second glass of beer, she mentioned how we never receive our crispy rice... she was right. I flagged down the male server, and told him we didn't receive our order. I asked him to check the system to see if it was inputted. He came back to tell me, no, and asked if we still wanted it. We said yes and it came out after a few minutes. Honestly, the food was really good for the prices. It was fair and it was quite delicious. My rating goes towards the lack of service etiquette and process with the restaurant; we had to check in with the servers twice upon missing items. The female server should have inputted it into the system because we had written it down and she circled it on the paper! Instead, we received our drinks later and the side dishes after our main meal. Again, the food is amazing, so props to the chefs. If the servers can be on top of themselves, this place would receive a full rating from me.

    Carpaccio awesomeness!
    Marc R.

    4 out of 5 stars. Zeppin Sushi is a solid AYCE sushi option in Eastvale with a diverse assortment of options to choose from. You can also order a la carte at Zeppin as well, just FYI. The main reason to visit Zeppin is because of the carpaccio selection as part of the AYCE. There was albacore, spicy albacore, seared garlic tuna, mackerel, tuna, and salmon carpaccio that is included with the AYCE menu. That was definitely the highlight of our meal, along with the uni and amaebi (+ fried shrimp heads). Zeppin is a little pricier than other AYCE sushi options (was $47.99 the last time we went), but given the carpaccio option, I understand why it was a little bit higher. Service was the one thing that could be slightly improved. It was a lighter staff and it was difficult to get the attention of a server at times. There is ample parking where the restaurant is. Just get there outside of the standard dinner rush hours, as the wait can be a little long. Would still definitely go back to visit.

    Nigiri Salmon Carpaccio
    Matthew R.

    This really is the spot when the sushi cravings kick. It's super close to my parent's home so I'll come pretty often, and they just consistently kill it with the fish quality. Haven't had a bad piece of fish here yet. When I do pull up it's usually for the AYCE, it's pretty reasonably priced for what you get and they have tons of options on that menu. Highlights for me are all the carpaccios, the nigiri selection and the various crispy rice selections. I'm already hungry thinking about it. The service is always great here as well, they check in and refill waters and things like that very often. The ambiance is cool, it can get packed as this shopping plaza gets more and more poppin' but it's usually fine and passes the vibe check. Overall this is a great sushi spot in Eastvale, worth a drive out!

    Went here for AYCE, my wife has been wanting to come here. Not bad for a dinner AYCE menu, the food came out quick and the food was fresh. Definitely coming back for more.

    Good affordable sushi . Come during happy hour if you cant eat that much. Ayce can get overwhelming for some! Cute ambiance and always great service!

    Went out to eat for all you can eat sushi to another location and there was a a wait so we looked up the next closest all you can eat sushi restaurant and Zeppin Sushi came up. Wow what a find, not only was the sushi and other items excellent but unlike a lot of all you can eat places the service was awesome. They never failed to bring more sushi or clear plates away or see if we needed anything and brought complementary ice cream at the end when we could barely eat another thing but that was good also. This place is awesome and we will be back often.

    First time trying Zeppin fri the AYCE sushi. Pretty good experience. Variety of the sushi was nice, they had a few items we usually don't see with AYCE items like tuna and salmon cheeks. Quality of the seafood was very good for a AYCE place. Service was also very good.

    left: oysters on half shell, carpaccios, sushi mix, yellowtail collar, scallops, fried soft shell crab.
    Scarlett K.

    came back to try the AYCY menu, $47.99/person. each sushi piece is smaller than regular sushi restaurant, but the rice portion is also very small (which means we can eat more variety). plus the menu does have many AYCE cooked items like soft shell crab, yellowtail collar, Ramon, fried oysters. service was quick and nice. quality of the fish is also good for an AYCE, we may come back again.

    First time trying new local restaurant for sushi, it was great experience. Food was delicious and everything taste fresh, staffs are friendly and helpful. Definitely come back with some friends.

    Delicious set of sushi from the AYCE lunch menu.

    I took my wife out for lunch here because we love sushi. The interior is quite modern and appealing. The location is great; after sushi, I go shopping at either 99 Ranch or Costco! The selections are delicious and fresh. Our server was friendly and attentive. We are coming back soon!

    Ask the Community - Zeppin Sushi

    How much is the AYCE sushi lunch as of January 8, 2025? What are the hours for AYCE sushi lunch?

    I want to say between $30-$36 dollars

    How much is all you can eat?

    Lunch is $32.99 Dinner is $42.99.

    All you can eat on Sundays?

    They have that option every day, but your whole table needs to get it, or the people that won't be eating all you can eat can only order a Bentox box

    Is there an option to eat a la carte & not ayce?

    Yes. My family and I had A La Carte many times at this location.

    Are you open today? Holiday 9/5

    What's the difference between the three AYCE options? What can you order from each?

    If you look at the Sushi order menu (I posted the front and back) it shows you all the items and whether they are A,B, or C with A being the least expensive and C being the most. The Carpaccio & Sashimi are on the C list.

    How much is the AYCE per person?

    It's 3o -34$ and everybody has to order all you can eat or else they won't serve you😣

    Does this place accept reservations?

    Only for parties of 10 or more.

    Can you please put the all you can eat letters on the spiral menu? We had to reference the spiral menu for descriptions of the roll, then look at the flat laminated menu to see what letter it fell under then find it on the all you can eat menu?

    I don't work there (I just go there a lot), but that's a good suggestion.

We went last night and enjoyed three bento boxes alongside some sushi rolls, and every single piece was perfectly prepared to order. Everything tasted super fresh, and the quality of the meal was simply excellent from start to finish. The ambiance perfectly ties the whole experience together. The restaurant features a beautiful, traditional Japanese look that makes it a very nice and relaxing place to enjoy a meal. Between the stellar service, incredible food, and inviting atmosphere, Toro by Jono Sushi is just a great spot all around. I highly recommend checking them out!

We went on a Saturday at 6pm without joining the waitlist as yelp said we didn't need to. Our experience vs recent yelp reviews was overall pretty damn positive. The only thing that is true that every other review mentions is yes they add auto gratuity so when you get your check the option is there to still add a tip which if you don't pay attention can lead to you giving a 25%+ tip without realizing it. The service we had was fast, I still don't know who our server was because about 6 different people kept asking us if we needed anything. Our tablet worked fine and we were able to order everything from it without having it malfunctioning or not working as some others have stated. One odd thing to mention is the soda cup is about 2x as big as the water cup. The sushi itself tasted good, however my girlfriend and I try to get our moneys worth so we normally only pick nigiri and the standard apps, and avoid any kind of rolls. Our take is on the carpaccio, seared salmon, tuna, and escolar, and fresh water eel. All the nigiri we had weren't "fishy" or tasted not fresh or whatever some of the other reviews mentioned but again we didn't have any of the items other people have complained about. So if you're looking for an AYCE sushi place and are tryna get your moneys worth I'd say it's a good place to go.

Well, that all came to an end today when we decided to visit our old friend and she acted like she didn't even know us. We purchased 3 of our favorite rolls off our list but none of them tasted the same, they were bland at best and the best was no better than 'just okay'. Even one of our favorites, the Tokyo roll, was a big disappointment. I'd like to say that I was surprised, but I really wasn't. I started to see the writing on the wall last year but like a relationship that is past its prime, you get comfy and hope against hope that things will change but you know you're just fooling yourself. This evening, I chose to take a moment and look around remembering better times and memories made, I felt like Norm from Cheers on their final day. So, as I took my final lap I dabbed the "allergies" from my eyes, left my doggy bag on the table, turned and walked away. We're going to miss you, Big Oak. It was good while it lasted.

The item we ordered was the Jalepeno Tuna Tempura Roll. Firstly, I always read the ingredients and saw that it came stuffed with cream cheese. They didn't " remake " the roll as you fasley stated Mike. The roll came out just as we asked , without the cream cheese because my man doesn't like it that much. After the roll came out without the cream cheese, we both took one bite and immediately didn't like it and told our waiter we didn't like the taste right after. He asked if we wanted them to remake it & clearly told him no it's okay, we will just have the rest of our rolls that were already on our table & he took the Jalepeno Tempura Roll away. As my man stated, the problem came when they didn't want to remove the charge for the Jalepeno Tempura Roll when 1. We didn't like it & 2. We didn't eat it. We first asked the waiter if it could be removed, we thought it was a mistake that they didn't remove it. He told us no which was completely absurd. So we asked to speak to the owner. She came out with one word and said " problem ? " which is extremely unprofessional & rude. My man expressed that he seems it's unfair that the charge won't be removed since we didn't like it and didn't eat it. He expressed how he's been coming to Zip for 14 years & the owner always sees us there. We were loyal customers and all she tried to do was rebuttal with us which was very disappointing. Eventually they took the charge off but my man was very upset that we had to go through that. I wish the owner would've realized a $12 charge wasn't worth losing a loyal customer. My man simply would've left double the amount in tip for the inconvenience as he always does. In my opinion, I never thought Zip was an outstanding Sushi spot but my man always loved to take us there. I'm very happy we won't be going there anymore & now I can introduce him to 5 star sushi spots! My advice: If you don't know all the facts and information that has happened in a situation please keep your comments to yourself. And Mike FYI, we would never eat an entire roll of sushi & expect not to pay for it! Not the story, not the case.

    My family (me, my wife and my son) are so saddened to find out that Rakki Sushi ended up closing…read morewhen we wanted to go a few months ago. Rakki Sushi had the best ratio of fish to rice. We stumbled upon Rakki when we first moved to Chino Hills in 2023, and took a break from coming when our son was in the oven. It was definitely our go to Sushi spot when we had the energy to make it out there. We loved the various choices of nigiri, sushi rolls and even the appetizers. Shortly before they closed, the owner even gave us a complimentary yellowtail collar which was absolutely delicious, amazingly flavorful and super juicy (we never ordered this previously, since we always went with the AYCE option). The AYCE was very reasonably priced for what you got, and could be considered on the very cheap end, for quality of the food you got and options available. Rakki Sushi got high praises from our foodie friends who would visit us as well. The chef and staff were always super nice, they always came to check on how we were doing when they weren't too overwhelmed with the busyness, and we loved how super friendly they were. Our son loved the staff as well, and he always gave them smiles back in response to theirs. The ambience was more of a local/casual sushi spot, rather than somewhere fancy, which my wife and I greatly enjoyed since we like dressing comfortably in just t-shirts and joggers. The tables, seats, and utensils were always clean when we went there. The men's restroom wasn't the cleanest looking, but given the location it was understandable. Plus, we were there for the food, and not really to strictly use the restroom. We greatly miss you Rakki Sushi and hope you are able to come back one day!

    I read some of the reviews that this is one of the best AYCE sushi places and I've been wanting to…read moretry it. The place didn't look like much from the outside -- a little run down in an older strip mall. But you can't judge a restaurant from the facade. I wouldn't say it's the best sushi I've ever had -- it's not. But for an AYCE place -- wow, it's pretty good. My previous favorite place was tomikawa in Irvine, but this place might be better. All the sushi we had was pretty fresh. And the other stuff we had such as jalapeno poppers and gyoza were very flavorful and tasty. The baked scallop could have been a little less runny, but the flavor was very good. The pieces of sushi are all very small -- I provide a picture with my index finger for perspective. Since the place is AYCE, this isn't a diss... Just something you should know. So if you think you want 4 large pieces of sushi, you might order 6 or even 8 here. In a way, I actually liked the smaller pieces, as they're easier to pop in your mouth and chew, and you can easily order a lot of different kinds to try without worrying that you can't finish all of them. The only thing missing is udon or ramen. I like to finish off a meal with a little warm noodles, and that's a notable miss. I'm not sure it's totally worth a deliberate trip from Irvine ... But we're definitely going to stop by any time we're in the area.

    Went for lunch and had the bento box , which came with a miso soup the place was empty…read moreSo we were greeted right away and got our food promptly , the waitress was very nice we were glad we chose this place over The dumpling spot next Door oh the only Thing that took some time was the appetizer we ordered but other than that the food was good the price was decent

    We originally planned to eat at the dumpling spot next door, but we were starving and didn't want…read moreto wait. Yoshioishi Sushi & Ramen had solid reviews, so we decided to pivot and give it a try. First impression: the menu is extensive. It's one of those places where you almost don't know where to start. The fan favorites are marked with a red flower, which helped narrow things down. We also asked our server for suggestions, which made it easier to navigate. We arrived just before 5pm and there was only one other table. We were told to sit anywhere we'd like. By the time we left, the restaurant was filling up and it seemed like there were quite a few regulars coming in. Here's what we tried: Salted edamame: Just average. A bit limp and not as crisp as I'm used to, so they didn't feel especially fresh. Gyoza: Really nice flavor and the dipping sauce was well balanced. These were solid. Yellowtail jalapeño sashimi: This was different in a good way. It had cilantro and a slightly sweeter sauce instead of the traditional garlic ponzu. Unexpected, but a pleasant surprise. Crispy chicken karaage: Slightly over fried but still flavorful. The dipping sauce helped. Crispy rice with spicy tuna: Just okay. One piece barely had tuna on top. Not bad, but not something I'd reorder. Cucumber salad: Served on a bed of iceberg lettuce, which surprised us, but the dressing had great flavor. This disappeared quickly. Nigiri: The salmon was incredibly fresh and one of the highlights. The albacore and toro came topped with fresh wasabi, which was a nice touch. We really enjoyed the salmon and albacore. The toro didn't quite melt in your mouth like we hoped. It was a bit chewy. Crazy Salmon Roll: Good flavor, but note that the salmon on the outside is fully cooked. We expected raw, so just something to keep in mind. Snow Mountain Roll: A fan favorite at the table. Great texture and flavor. Plain udon and plain ramen: Both were excellent. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the portions were generous. We definitely over ordered, but we left very full. One small detail for fellow tea lovers: I always look forward to hot tea at a Japanese restaurant, especially when it's served in a small pot you can refill at the table. Here it was hot water with a tea bag in a metal cup, which was too hot to comfortably hold, and there was no teapot provided. Not a deal breaker, but next time I'd probably skip the tea. Service was strong. In addition to our main server, two other team members checked in and refilled water regularly, which we appreciated. Overall, I'd call it a 3.5 if that were an option, so I'm landing at 3 stars. The food was decent, the atmosphere comfortable, and the service attentive. It didn't completely wow us, but we're glad we tried it.
