Authentic Japanese food. Staffs are very friendly and the fishes are fresh. Price is reasonable. Will definitely visit again soon.
Amanda Nesbit
Food is very good, not a huge selection of different types of food. The service isn't great, they do take quite awhile to get out food

I’m an avid Sushi lover. Kens Sushi has the best quality sushi I have ever had. They take pride in their cuts of sushi and how they prepare them. You can taste the quality. They do not do “All You Can Eatâ€. If you want a sushi place that when you eat a piece of Sashimi you close your eyes and say “Yum†too. Go no further. Ken and Leo do a great job and put in a lot of work of providing us the quality pieces of fish. Great friendly place to take some friends and also a nice time for you to take a date.

Although it is a little pricey it is the freshest sushi in the Inland Valley. Love their white board specials. Cannot get enough. Love their sushi chefs.
Yolanda Olguin
I highly recommend it. Always FRESH Sushi!! A must try (#1Toro, #2Rocky, #3Fireboat) you will definitely come back for more!

Ken and his son, Leo, have the best Sushi restaurant within 25 miles of Rancho Cucamonga. We've been customers since the mid-90's.
Jason Wolf
Excellent quality sushi and service, people come from all over SoCal to eat here. A little gem in Rancho and Ken's been here over 30 years. Mom and pop type environment, not the typical modern fusion look most sushi places have. One of the best sushi spots in SoCal.
Cole Frazier
We always feel loved when we come here. Amazing sushi options.
Tiffany Cross
If you're looking for authentic, super fresh sushi and terrific service this is the place to go. The owner and staff go out of their way to make you feel at home.
Rudy Sanchez
My favorite place to eat when im in RC

The taste, flavors and preparation will blow your mind. I will never eat sushi anywhere else. The staff is equally amazing as the sushi. My sisters and I meet here regularly for dinner together. Always fresh. Always good. Ask them what's fresh that day and they'll guide you. We've had everything from soft shell crab to the traditional rolls, to their special soup. Can't go wrong here.

We will drive from Long Beach to Santa Ana for their brawts and pretzel rolls. Several times we have gone with large groups and have gotten to sample much of the menu. Options range from classic IPA cheese to alligator to Wagyu beef.

Very good service delicious food and grliid prices. Wish they didn't close around 2 then open later. Or else 5 stars.

This place was 10/10 I simply cannot explain to you how great this is but I am going to try, the food was not only beutiful but flavorful, fresh, and the staff was incredibly friendly and warm they gave us allot recommendations one we tried: "the fireboat" we eat a lot of sushi, we've easily been to 10-15 local (30mins or closer) places, and this sushi roll is utterly impossible to describe. It's like good Italian pasta is pretending to be sushi, and it's an experience. Honestly if you want a nice warm outting, without worry of getting sick, or disappointing overside over prices rolls, this is a good safe bet. Not to be repetitive but this place really is 10/10.

Oh my goodness my all time sushi place! Great quality of sushi! Beats having to drive to LA for over priced mediocre sushi. Ken's has been here for such a long time and I don't know why I haven't discovered him any sooner. My favorite to order their blue fin toro it just melts in your mouth! Me and my co workers come here often. Tip! Make sure you sit at the bar so the chefs can recommend their specials for the day
David Helms
Fantastic and tasty food, I like the mood the place has, and the employees were helpful. Will surely visit here when I’m around.
Allan Crocker
Simply the best place for sushi in and around Rancho Cucamonga ... Ken's is always fresh and the menu is updated almost daily. The food is exceptional and you wont find better sushi anywhere around.

If you're looking for authentic sushi, DON'T come here. We had the worst Omakase experience yesterday. The server told us they are running low on certain fish when we came in. When the sushi came, the fish temperature was very cold, looks like they just took the fish out of the fridge. The rice was flavorless and fell apart when I picked them up with my chopsticks. A piece of sushi is not a whole but a piece of defrosted fish on a clust of rice. Those are just basics for making a good sushi, and yet they failed.
Shafik Erum
Excellent food. Family style restaurant. Extremely friendly owner and his Son. All the staff there are super kind and attentive. They make the sushi exactly to your style and liking. Make the extra effort to have a conversation and create relationships. Highly recommend it
Monty Hunt
I think it was just and off night. We asked for spicy and there was no spice. Our dinner made it out to us very slowly taking more than an hour. We will probably try it again due to other good reviews.
Anne Sanchez
Came to this place and loved how they had first plenty of free parking ,And great friendly service . this is not one of those all you can eat sushi places . This place does offer , great quality food if that is what your looking for . It is pricey but remember that at times quality comes with a price . Was able to be served by Ken the owner a few times . And all the other chefs was amazing as well. Can not wait to come back and try more items .
Ofelia Duque
The sushi portions were very good. But on a Saturday night before the crowd came it got a little delayed.
Jenna Ball
We love ken’s every time we visit
Victoria Johnson
Sushi is delicious and fresh. Love any of their baked rolls.
David Mormann
Awesome sushi quality, would have been a 5 star if the server didnt mess up and not bring an order then closed the kitchen before telling us last call, left hungry still.
Jeffery Okada
Quality is very good. The rolls are a bit small. I ordered 3 to myself. Average price per roll is $15. Oysters are delicious.Must try the burrito roll.
Benjamin Albu
Ken's is the best sushi restaurant that I've ever been to. It's a small, cozy place with ample sushi bar space. I can't emphasize this enough, everything is always very well executed. It's not overly fancy, but everything is just made with excellence. I've never had a bad anything there, and everything just has little touches that make it perfect and nicely balanced, just as Japanese food is meant to be.
Vicente Zepeda
Great food, amazing service and fantastic people. Highly recommend!
David Rodriguez
Love this place it's been here for years and yet they always amaze me .
John S
Chefs are very knowledgeable. Fish quality is top notch. One of the few places that still go down to the fish market to buy there fish. If you love REAL sushi come to Ken's.
Laurie Arredondo
Fresh fish! Great taste! Good service!
Esteban Camacho
Exquisite. If you are a fan of quality fish, come here. They have Toro and O-Toro cuts, which should tell you everything you need to know. The lobster sashimi is to die for.
JND Industrial Services
Great sushi! Not 5 stars because the Kani is imitation and they have cut down on the sashimi bowl contents. Other than that, great place for sushi. Jalapeño poppers are great.
danahageali87
Little hidden gem. Haven't found ANY place around here that has fish this fresh!
Martin Medina
THE BEST PLACE FOR SUSHI!!! IVE BEEN GOING TO KENS FOR YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED. FRIENDLY STAFF AND GREAT SERVICE!!!
Elwood Goldstein
I have been going to Ken's since 1994. It's the best sushi spot in the IE. The service is slow by American standards (Traditional Japanese meals can take several hours) but they keep the tall Asahis flowing and that's what I like. Ken goes to the fish market every night in his truck to pick out the best fish on the dock the way it should be done. I have been to many sushi spots and I always leave thinking "This is not as good as Ken's". When you want quality and traditional service then head to Ken's. They're the best!
Scarlett Cross
It was great! Fresh food and fast service.
Edward Valdemar
Is there fresher sushi in the area? Not that I know of. This is my favorite spot and I drive 30 to get here!
Y Henslee
Always reliable service and good food!
Marcella Nichols Eastin
We experienced great service, yummy food, and a welcoming environment. Our server took the time to explain the menu and was willing to share some of his favorites. He genuinely cared that we enjoyed our meal. We ordered the pan fried noodles with shrimp instead of pork. It was so good! We also had salmon sashimi, uni, and toro. We also ordered the baked lobster roll with avocado (lobster was a bit overcooked, but the rest of the food was good). I loved their ginger salad- such a unique dressing. We were impressed by their selection of fish and the fact that they have two sushi bars.
Robert Yates
Small servings. NO LOW SODIUM SOY SAUCE.?? Waiter said they don't carry it?? That was pretty much a deal breaker there. Service was great. The reason for the one star. They use alot of avacado and carrots to fill the rolls instead of fish. The Caterpillar roll was pretty much all avacado. Hardly any eel. And their baked lobster was small cold and chewy Cheap way to keep cost down. Definitely wont be going back.
Nicky Nick
Man just get the rocky roll spicy ... I can't eat sushi rolls anywhere else now ...
Ilhan Eser

adrian jimenez

Really good sushi, good service!
Jesus Loves You
The best, fresh, tasty, just right. All Fish was so so fresh, it was so good. We even got special Fish from Japan... melted in your mouth. The uni was the most tastiest I ever had it was so fresh it was 14 dollar fresh so good. If your looking to get some Sushi and you don't want AYCE and haven't found a good place in Rancho well this is the Spot . 5 star Sushi. Thank you for the food it was so good.
