Arigato Sushi — Restaurant in Upland

So the 3 stars is for the food. It was actually quite delicious! I say actually due to the fact that when entering the restaurant and waiting for your food, it looks as though the place is going through a renovation or as if they're about to go out of business. That was my initial assumption (we had never been here before), however, I've read reviews from quite some time ago that demonstrate that to be not true. They apparently always have the inside this way.

Then, when we got home and checked our food we found out our edamame was not in the bag, but there were 3 small cups of miso soup. I didn't know what it was though and due to allergies we called the restaurant. The staff remembered us (expected as there weren't many customers) and apologized and explained what happened. They also told us to mention it next time we come in and they'll give us an edamame. Appreciate the courtesy and immediately acknowledging the issues. Very professional. I think because of this service after experiencing an issue and how they resolved it, despite the look of the restaurant inside, I'll give this place another chance to redeem themselves in the future. I'm hoping they clean up the inside and make it more like a sushi restaurant. Currently it's mostly just the bar and then a bunch of tables and chairs stacked in corners (that are apparently always like that). Foods good, restaurant not so much. There's a lot of...

Picked up some vegetarian food for dinner and was trying it for the first time. Person who answered phone was easy to talk with and took the order right away. We picked up 15-20 minutes later and staff had it ready to go. Nice staff and enjoyable looking place to try eating in at next time. I didn't see a patio so we'll have to leave the dog at home to come here though.

Food was good. We got Avocado cut rolls, veggie cut rolls, and tamago (egg) sushi. All were tasty. Rice was fine. My favorite sushi rice is from Hayato in Claremont but this one was better than most in the area.

It's likely going to be my go to sushi place near...

Sean has brought the inland empire the best quality of both fresh sushi and a great environment. After trying from place like Martinis, one spot, Takumi among other locations; Sushi Arigato Trumps them all. Sean is an artist, nowadays I just sit at the bar and he knows exactly what I want and need, and all rolls are varied. This is hands down the best location in town, and perhaps in the region. Thank you Sean and staff for always providing elite service. I could over sell this place and it will always over...
