50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Fontana

“The best sushi in Fontana“

“Always loved their sushi here, friendly good service and good food. They make the sushi while you wait. The space is small, however if we end up dinning there we always have a table, didn't remember going there and being able to dine in. Parking is a little difficult as its busy, the store/restaurant is outside superior grocery so its a shared parking lot“

“Really good food great service“

“The Summit Avenue exit on the 15 North before the Cajon Pass has only ever been a refueling spot but yesterday I experienced a minor medical issue that required a lengthy respite from the usual 5pm traffic nightmare. I’d never noticed the Sushi sign on the side of the building as I exited to Summit Avenue but today in desperate need for a safe spot to rest and recover from my medical malady I decided I’d enjoy sushi once I recovered from my health issue. Lo and behold, I discovered a hidden gem that I never imagined was tucked away at the Falcon Ridge shopping center, SUMMA SUSHI!!!! They immediately offered support as I dealt with my health issue and I realized I’d dropped into a place that would have made Cheers, the old tv show restaurant, proud. I sat at the sushi bar next to a wonderful repeat customer who would have made Norm proud. The sushi-rolling experts Kevin & JK knew her well & they joked and enjoyed the experience of sushi dining as only well-acquainted friends do. She was a regular and once my medical situation subsided with their patient support, she suggested I try the seared salmon roll, something I’d never tried before at any sushi restaurant. Servers Michelle & Valerie who’d been quite understanding of my situation when I’d arrived took my order with great service and smiles. The seared salmon roll was the perfect antidote for what had been a difficult health recovery. The salmon was seared perfectly and I wasted no time in savoring its deliciousness. By that time, I had the wonderful experience of meeting Dave, the congenial and gracious owner of SUMMA SUSHI who sat with me and my grandson and shared great stories about baseball and the restaurant’s origins and naming, explaining that he thought of Summa Sushi as the Latin origin of the word summa means peak of excellence. Without a doubt, the salmon and crab rolls were excellent as well as the conversation, banter, service and atmosphere. I don’t often review but when I do I can assure you that it is well-deserved. Dave has created a sweet spot, a hidden gem of sushi awesomeness! It isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a place “where everybody knows your name and you’re always glad you came”, to borrow from the Cheers theme song. I only wish I’d discovered SUMMA SUSHI years earlier. They’ve earned my loyalty for their food, their camaraderie, kindness and fun, unforgettable dining experience. So if you’re wondering where to dine before facing the Cajon Pass north traffic or after making your descent, don’t hesitate to drop in and be sure to interact with this wonderful team that not only offered excellent cuisine but a rare glimpse of truly caring individuals who love what they do and share that spirit of good food and company at a place where they will remember your name. My sincere gratitude and respect to Dave, Kevin, JK, Michelle, Valerie & Victor (kitchen prep) for a wonderful dining experience and new friends that I will definitely be returning to visit, not just for the excellent sushi but for the vibe of a place where they appreciate you and care.“

“It was good, id recommend it, would like to try and come back again someday. Ranks with the average price and taste around the fontana and rialto area. Would like to try some of their specialty foods next time. But just stopped for lunch, and ordered a white boy and subbed the topping for salmon. Not too busy for lunch so I'd recommend lunch. Service was par, never was offered a refill on drink so that can use some practice aside from that the server was kind and brought out orders on time, chef was cool seemed to know a regular. I overhead they even do catering. Might change score next time I try it but for now a solid 4“

“I love hibachi and this place definitely filled that craving! The sauces were amazing with the food and the service was super friendly. I think the location of the truck could be better as parking is complicated but the food makes up for it!“

“not all you can eat for a reason, very focus on great quality sushi. ask for the Toro the chefs are awesome“

“Great Service 😋🙌👌 Very Clean Place“

“We came here on a Monday around 2pm. There was no wait and a few tables were taken. The service was good, both our server and the runners were friendly. The selection during lunch was good as well, not too much and not too little. My kids enjoyed this Wagyu Factory in Rancho.

My only issue is that the bathroom was that the bathroom wasn't as clean. And when you have young children it makes things difficult.“

“I’m really happy we have a place like this in Jurupa Valley. The sushi was so good, everything tasted fresh, and the service was seriously amazing. Everyone was so kind from the moment we walked in. I love supporting local businesses, especially when they deserve it. If you’ve been thinking about trying Ryoshi Sushi, this is your sign. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Had a delicious meal here at Tenmaya!! The quality of fish was excellent, and my favorite piece of the premium sashimi platter was the uni. Very generous portion. Staff is very nice and the playlist is exactly what I wanted while eating japanese food. I'll be back.“

“Fresh, fast, and served with a smile. And for $0.02, you even get advice! Really great value.“

“Restaurant is a little small and it's very bright inside. Went for happy hour and got the regular combo ($15) and premium combo ($22). The premium combo was a little disappointing- got the baked crawfish roll and the roll was dry and rice tasted old. Happy with the standard combo though. The salmon kama was well cooked and juicy and so was the soft shell crab. The greens and sauce that came with it were also very good. Saw most people there ordering soup or ramen so maybe that's what's good here? Decent Japanese spot but not filling, especially for the price. I wouldn't get the sushi again but would get other items.“

“Stumbled upon this new little spot by accident and I'm ever so glad that I did! My little guy and I enjoyed a very nice lunch, a very welcoming atmosphere and great food! Servers were so fun, as well as the chef! We will definitely be back!“

“Excelente food and service“

“Please go here at least once in your life. The individual quality of each ingredient is unmatched. The price for the portions is unfathomable. I wanted a rice bowl and ended up with the dinner combination plate. I couldn’t be happier with the service, the atmosphere, and the food.“

“I’ve been searching for an actually good sushi place in the IE and have been let down by pretty much every single one…until I came to Osaka House. Fresh and flavorful in a beautiful restaurant with good service. So impressed. This is my official sushi spot now.“

“Great experience!! Love the food!!“

“Food was great. The steak could’ve used a little more seasoning, but it was still good. Portions were solid. The chicken and shrimp were both flavorful. Just a heads up, the noodles are pretty spicy, so if you’re not used to heat, you might want to skip them lol. Overall, a solid choice and I’d definitely go back.“

“Hands down the one of the best fatty salmon and fatty yellow tails nigiri’s I’ve ever tried this is my go to spot when you want a good really good sushi I would also highly recommend the potstickers which are insanely good 👍🏼“

“El mejor sabor el sushi que he probado, exelente servicio, la comida exquisita,👌“

“This was my first time here. It was our company Christmas luncheon. Really great time. the food prepared in from of you was excellent and quite the show. Both the service and food was exceptional.“

“delicious!! highly recommended.“

“great dinner for my birthday“

“So delicious and the prices are right. $2 Sapporo on draft happy hour prices. Yes!“

“Sushi Miguel’s Style is a great local spot with a welcoming atmosphere and a spacious, comfortable dining room. The restaurant is clean and well kept, with plenty of seating and a fun sushi-themed interior. The storefront is easy to find, and there’s also a nice outdoor area nearby with tables and palm trees. A great place to stop for sushi and enjoy a relaxed meal.“

“Found this gem when I fist moved here in march! Reasonable prices and quality of fish is good. I always sit at the sushi bar and the sushi chefs are always so nice and on top of it. Cajun salmon is delicious! Definitely recommend“

“For starters, I dont eat sushi. lol BUT THIS PLACE WAS DELICIOUS 😋 I ordered the bento box and I was happy to know the variety of sides I can have with my bento box. Super Happy!! I was able to venture in exploring my sushi experience and try to lobster roll, it was delicious. We were a big party and the server was so amazing in checking in with us! Thank you for the experience“

“Great food as always. Fresh fish.“

“Nice food not expensive good flavor“

“Don't get the donkey Kong it's the vein of donkey Kong's legacy it's absolutely disgusting, in my opinion if you like barely fried food there you go and the bathroom absolutely stinks but other from that the food is good try not to get donkey Kong okay just get one in the order and don't after okay but the salmon roll was good and my family really like the muscles you should try but if you don't really like fishy food don't get it okay make sure bring somebody that can eat a lot because the rolls are big and I'm warning you don't get the donkey Kong okay“

“We all enjoyed our time here on Saturday, February 18, 2023 to celebrate my 40th birthday that's on the 21st. Thanks to our main server Daniel who got everybody's order right and did an excellent job!“

“All I can say is this place has earned and deserves every star! I dont write reviews, but this establishment has earned a loyal customer for life. Not only is the flavor so rich, but the service is impeccable. They never miss, which is a rare combination now-a-days. Usually you have to sacrifice one for the other, but not here. Big Thanks to Angelica and John for going above and beyond with their customer service. (Chefs kiss) Last time we were helped by Tyler and same outstanding service. Like I said, this place never misses with their service. My family and will be returning soon.“

“Today, I picked up lunch and it was outstanding! If you have not been, I suggest you go! Excellent lunch or dinner.“

“Great restaurant at the Riverside Plaza. Always a fun time at the hibachi. Great service, generous portions, and delicious food. Cocktails are a plus!! Love this place and definitely recommend. Sitting at the sushi bar is also highly recommended if hibachi isn't your thing. The sushi is delicious 😋“

“Came for lunch and I can’t say good enough things about this place. Everything we had was full of flavor, especially if you order a side of Miguel-style pickled onions. The sauce is tangy and spicy enough to add a kick to the food. Hand roll portions were very generous and only $8 per hand roll. Less than $20 and I was full! My new favorite spot for sushi nearby!“

“Everything was good even the cook asked if I wanted more sauce!! The chicken was okay still edible the rice and veggies were good too!! Only thing I wish I didn’t get charged $17 …. They should add combos to their menu so it won’t be so expensive…“

“Always good time here, good drinks, good food, fast service, hai price is right.“

“We found this place on a whim and found a gem in this area. They have a homemade sauce that pairs well with our meal . We even bought a bottle and the chef in the back gave us some chili oil that had a lot of heat. We got seafood and it was satisfying. Definitely coming back.“

“Hidden Gem Alert!!!

I’ve had sushi from so many places, but THIS spot blows every other one out of the water. The food is insanely fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic — like melt-in-your-mouth good. The sushi chef (I didn’t catch his name, but he deserves a trophy) is not only incredibly skilled, but also so kind and welcoming. It was my first time here and he surprised me with a free roll on the house — who does that anymore?!
This place is a diamond in the rough and I’m honestly shocked it’s not already famous. If you’re even thinking about trying it, GO. RIGHT. NOW. You’ll thank me later.“

“My first visit on Monday, the gentleman taking orders was very helpful. He explained the menu and what he would recommend due to all my answers to his questions. I ate there as they had two tables available. Took my daughter there. Saturday for dinner.“

“I went in for lunch time around the time they opened and was greeted upon entry. I was offered a table almost immediately and the employee was kind to offer time to decide before ordering. They immediately checked up on me not too long after. I was offered suggestions as well when I was hesitant about my order. The food was ready in a timely manner and was delicious. The restrooms were also really cleaned and stocked up on supply. I would definitely come back and suggest this place to others.“

“was driving home late night 🌙 close to midnight and saw this truck still open and decided why the heck not. ordered a chicken plate and ut was amazing 👏 great job guys. fried was good... chicken was juicy and flavorful- veggies were my favorite- just make sure you ask for sauce - they wont include any sauce you have to ask -“

“if you are in the riverside area near the magnolia center and in the mood for sushi 🍣, you got to give this place a try. the food is fantastic and the drinks, wow! prices are fair, beer is cold, service is very good and lots of choices on menu. they got karaoke on Fridays atv6 and it's just a cool hole in the wall.“

“YOSHINOYA FOR THE WIN AND RESCUE!!! Totally Honorable and Commendable Customer Satisfaction Experience here with Yoshinoya Employees Ana and Stephanie @ Santa Monica and Vine HOLLYWOOD YOSHINOYA!“

“I came in about 10 PM and ordered the Chashu pork ramen. The wait is about 10 minutes and for about 27 dollars it’s worth your money. The pork tasted good with a salty flavor and just right texture not too hard not too soft. The ramen broth was heartwarming with seaweed and Chashu flavor. I ordered the spicy option but they also have a non spicy option. FYI they also blast rock music if that’s your thing. The restroom is a little dirty with graffiti but overall a gem for Ramen in Riverside. Definitely will visit again.“

“Here in Ontario CA traveling for work from Houston TX. So glad that this restaurant is inside the mall across from the hotel. Love this restaurant that has all of my favorites. I had the Taiwanese beef noodle soup. It was so delicious and the beef was so tender. The Kani salad was very good. I know I will be going back to get more yummy foods. ..including boba teas.“

“Great sushi great service cool vibe“
