Ishi Sushi, Rowland Heights CA

This is my new go to sushi place. It’s a little far from where I love their sushi and the service. The sushi is just top notch! It’s just feel the same eating anywhere else if I can’t eat here.

The food served by the Chinese Japanese restaurant is probably a bit below average in LA area. The Wagyu beef fried rice wasn’t worth the $28 price tag as the beef was quite hard to chew. The sashimis were okay, but could be fresher. The Chowanmushi was pretty bland. The food overall wasn’t terrible, but certainly falls short of expectation.

Last year I came here and ordered a foie gras rice dish, the foie gras had a bitter taste and a strong fishy odor. It was the first time I had such a bitter foie gras in a foie gras rice dish. The teriyaki sauce in the rice couldn't mask the bitterness and fishy taste of the foie gras. I have never eaten such a bad foie gras before. After finishing the meal, we even asked the owner if there was something wrong with the foie gras today. To our surprise, she told us that foie gras itself has that taste. I find it absurd; they must think the customers are fools. We were speechless, and we definitely won't come again. It's expensive and tastes awful. We ordered a few items for two people and it cost $220, and we still couldn't get full. I suggest avoiding this place. Not recommended.

Great experience overall, from the food, the environment and the customer service. Thanks for everything:)

We had okay food here. Service = OK, food = OK but $$$$.
but don't support a place that buys obviously fake reviews. See the 5 star reviews from months ago with Arabic or fake names by people who probably have never been to Rowland Heights, much less this restaurant.

Excellent customer service. Staff were very kind and we were served very quickly. I 100% recommend eating here.

Been here few times now and enjoyed every moment! Amazing food, great staff & top notch service. No doubt will be coming again.

I had a sit down experience that was great. Sushi was fresh and came quickly. This was our first time and definitely won’t be the last!

Small, quite authentic Japanese restaurant. Sushi and sashimi were fresh and yummy. However, I couldn't say the same on the supposed grilled big octopus which was rubbery and does not taste fresh. The tempura was not crunchy enough and bland to taste, quite different from what I had before. Service is ok considering there's only one Japanese lady getting the orders and serving the food. I guess because they are not that busy. Nevertheless, service is a bit compromised. Overall, I think it's ok to give the restaurant another chance, so I will come back and try the food again.

If I could give this place zero stars I’d would it was my first time coming here and will be my last never going back, Food is ok, service wasn’t so good, the waitress only went to the table once then abandoned us for a while till I got up to ask for more soda cans, since there’s no refill’s! & a purchase of a sushi roll, ok that’s fine i guess, afterwards I went to asked for the bill and payed after handing the cash and everything the man from the back said “no tip” in a obligatory manner like what!? I thought that was up to the customer! I then give him some & he still shakes his head of unsatisfactory, so selfish and ungrateful, never going back.

Really good and really fresh. Super friendly staff and the arrangements were all beautiful. Will definitely be back:)

Absolutely delicious sushi, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Would absolutely go again:)
