Kishi Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Upland

Make a reservation no matter the day!!! Otherwise they'll tell you 30 mins (on a Tuesday) and you'll wait two and a half hours for a table that had been empty for two hours and be seated. Our waitress took out beverage order with attitude. And when she took our food order we learned quickly it was best not to ask questions. If you need napkins, silverware,vetc ask for everything at once. She did not like making trips. We were a party of six and we met a lovely fun couple who joined out table. Luckily this was not my first experience or I'd never be back. Our chef was great and good was yummy. I wish I could tell you the waitresses name so you won't have to endure her, but she never introduced herself and I never saw the bill to see her name either. 🤞you won't get her but if you do try not to hold it against the restaurant..Oh did I mention we were there celebrating a birthday and the couple was celebrating their anniversary??!! We sang, no staff came to sing or offer...

I had one of the most wonderful experiences eating here… This place is a treasure! I had the traditional spicy roll, the spicy tuna roll and my friend the resident expert had several different types of fish and one type of eel they were also delicious… The chef is incredibly keen and very intelligent he knew how to read his audience well when you’re sitting up at the sushi bar this is an art that goes beyond any level customer service I’ve ever seen and I am truly an admirer! The service was beyond excellent I have to admit but if you would’ve given me one of those spicy crab rolls I would hope it would never end!

They also have several other types of options for seating you can seat yourself at a table that has a hot plate where they do all the cooking in front of you that was neat but we had to go straight to the sushi bar lol I found this place to be incredible I can’t see why anybody would pass...

We are here right now tried this place for the first time, and normally we are hesitant to try new places for this reason. We ordered deluxe combo Teri beef and chicken omg chicken was raw , they have teppan grills and nothing about our food was grilled. Raw under cook chicken...they flood the food with teriyaki sauce Maybe to hide that their is no flavor. Benihana is over priced but the food is absolutely delicious. Esp there chicken. Then the cherry coke was flat very flat....server was rude probably cause of language barrier they hardly speak English..... we normally drive far to gardena to get outstanding Japanese food but weaved here 2 years ago and don't really know of all the good eaterys so we took a huge risk. From.now on we stick to what we know ...we will never...
