Sushi Area 909 — Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga

A Refined Sushi Experience in the Heart of Rancho Cucamonga Tucked unassumingly along Foothill Boulevard, Sushi Area 909 delivers a dining experience that far exceeds expectations. The atmosphere is understated yet welcoming, allowing the food to take center stage. From the moment you're seated, the service is attentive and sincere—prompt without ever feeling rushed.

The menu, while familiar in its offerings, is executed with precision and finesse. The Spicy Tuna Roll offers a perfect balance of heat and umami, with the tuna finely chopped and impeccably fresh. The Yellowtail Roll is delicate and buttery, its flavor lifted by just the right touch of citrus. Perhaps most surprising is the Eel and Cucumber Roll, where the rich, caramelized eel is complemented beautifully by the refreshing crunch of cucumber—a textural harmony that lingers.

What truly elevates the experience is the evident craftsmanship of the sushi chef, Frank, whose knife work and plating reflect both discipline and artistry. Each piece is a study in balance and restraint—a hallmark of traditional sushi philosophy.

This is my most favorite sushi place! They have the best salmon in town and I have driven for miles just to get their baked green muscles. The waitresses are kind, cheery and prompt! The atmosphere is cozy and great for reunions or small study get togethers. The sushi chefs(who are incredibly handsome, btw) will tailor your order to meet your needs and unlike other sushi restaurants, will actually communicate with you. They're also very interesting and funny, it's very nice when I'm enjoying some of their plum wine, they make me laugh the whole time and make sure I never feel too lonely. I especially enjoy when they are testing new rolls and I got to try one! Very good! The new booths are super comfortable, I gave them a test bounce just to check. I love the hand wipies the provide and oh oh oh!!!! The Ramen is the best ramen I've ever had! Do try the spicy pork toro!!! I hope I can go here at least twice a week. They have big, excellent oysters as well. I...

Diving into this sushi spot was like hitting the flavor jackpot, especially if you're a fan of garlic. Their garlic overload roll was a solid 8/10—packed with enough punch to ward off vampires and win over garlic lovers alike. And the Philly roll? It's a classic done right, the kind you'd recommend to anyone who wants a safe yet delicious bet.

The real pearl of the evening, though, was our server. She brought such a fun and caring vibe to our table, it was contagious. Her sincere personality sparkled brighter than the wasabi, making us feel right at home. You can tell she's just going to keep getting better at what she does. Overall, I’d give this place a well-deserved 4.5 stars. If you’re in the mood for some tasty sushi and even tastier service, this is...
