Kishi Japanese Restaurant

I have eaten at Kushi many times. I normally go with friends to the Teppan Grill. Excellent food always. If on the French about steamed vs. fried rice. Go for the fried. Your table chef puts on a great show before and while preparing your dinner. He will also prep and prepare your fried rice and veggies. I recommend the Sukiyaki Beef or any steak & shrimp dinner. The wait staff is good. They have a good selection of drinks hard and soft available. Be warned that during the show while the chef is warming up and cooking the flames get very warm. All the action is at the Teppan grill. You do not want to miss it.I have also eaten in the Sushi part of the restaurant. I highly recommend the California Roll. No crab salad in this roll as it is straight up crab. And the roll slices are very large. I do have to say the wait staff in this section was not all the attentive. Overall great ambiance and service.

My fam went here to celebrate my Uncles birthday. We've been to a bunch of Teppanyaki grills in the past, and this is so far our favorite. For birthday they do a celebration with a silly hat and some free ice cream, then they take a photo which they put on the wall. My husband had the Filet Mignon, which he said is the best steak maybe he's ever had. My uncle and daughter loved their sushi rolls, they even made a custom one for her since she is picky and she ate the whole thing. The staff was so kind and friendly about making her roll the way she wanted it, and they were also happy to accommodate my Vegetarian by grilling her an egg to eat with her rice! One think that was different from other Teppanyaki grills I have been to, was the salad dressing, other places have this orange dressing I do not like, that has too much ginger imo. The salad dressing here was DELICIOUS. They said they make it in-house. As any self respecting restaurant should do. One thing about the rolls, they. Are. HUGE. We have never seen rolls so big. It's almost a negative since they're kinda harder to eat, but I love some bang for my buck.

I love this place ! Food and service is top tierThe staff is very welcoming and professional This place is a must for birthday celebrations!

Kishi has been here since I was a child. I haven't been here for years. The place is in a great location, right off Foothill Blvd. We came on Veterans day for lunch. They weren't super busy. Our party of 7 were seated right away. The place looks the same. The decor is Japanese themed. You can choose between Teppanyaki or regular menu. We chose the lunch menu. The prices are still pretty high for a lunch menu. The service was quick and efficient. I got the chicken Katsu curry. The chicken was thick and the breading was crispy. The curry was Japanese style. It was good. I didn't care for the chicken katsu though. I prefer it to be thinner. I probably won't get that again. My mom got the salmon tempura lunch special. She enjoyed it. My teens got the Chicken Teriyaki Ala carte. It was nice that it came with rice, soup and salad. The chicken came out in chunks with teriyaki sauce drizzled over it. That was strange to me as I was expecting it to be coated in sauce. Unfortunately, this isn't the Kishi I remembered from long ago. I probably won't return.

This is my favorite Japanese restaurant. The sushi is excellent. I eat at the regular restaurant more often than the teppan. The Daisho meal for 2 is my go to. It'll feed 3 pretty easy. It's super Americanized but I love it.

Always good customer service & always good food.Came here for a birthday with a party of 12 adults and 2 children. Had a good time love the group photos that goes on the wall but my only complaint is is that I made the reservation two months in advance and asked if we'd be at the same table. I even called maybe a week or 2 before and was told yes again then we get there and were sat at two separate tables. Really frustrating

One of Uplands best kept secrets! Or is it ? Newly discovered but apparently has a long history of serving the community. Ambience is great and very friendly. Came here for my sister in laws birthday. We are defined fans of the restaurant and staff !

Food was good but he did no show whatsoever not even a joke no onion volcano no egg throwing nothing so won't be coming back - we're parents who barely get toGo out and a $200 bill on top of it - not worth it at all

I love this place! I love the employees too! The foods are always amazing, absolutely delicious. The Sushi was the biggest you will ever see. And they are insanely fresh. Their floor manager is the best, he will take care of you and your friends and family. I always leave full and satisfied. This sushi place is highly recommended.

My friends and I were in the mood for some Japanese food last night. We usually go to Kobe Japanese House but we wanted a change of scenery. Kishi Japanese Restaurant in Upland was suggested. They've apparently been there since 1982 but I had never been there before. That's where we went. There were seven of us. Several different things were ordered. I had the filet mignon. It was very good. I do wish our teppanyaki chef had used a tad bit more soy sauce while he was cooking it however. Our chef was very entertaining. He put on quite the show. Two of us were celebrating birthdays so they ended up singing to us and snapping a photo for their wall. Oh... and we got a free green tea ice cream to boot. The ambiance was cozy and authentic.Overall, it was a great experience.
