Yashima Restaurant in Covina

This is a small but quant Japanese restaurant. Ive seem this place get very busy because its very popular with the locals. Their food is delicious and they serve other things that are not on the menu. You may just have to get that info from someone whites been going there for years though...They have limited hours, so I would check before you go, dont plan this last minute, earlier you go the better off you are.

Good spot for some sushi. Food comes out fast and the staff is super friendly.

Update 9/22/23Definitely still recommending this place but had to round down based on my latest visit.Two dishes that didn’t live up to my last visit were the cold noodles and Kalbi ribs. The cold noodles had a different flavor and texture to the broth. Good, just not as good as I recall. Not a deal breaker. The Kalbi ribs were even more disappointing. Fatty and chewy.On the positive side, the two new dishes we tried were awesome. Jjajang mien, which was sold out las time was amazing. Great flavors, actually had meat which some places stopped adding, and was a very large serving. No wonder they sell out! Also tried the soon tofu soup which was equally amazing in flavors, meat ratio and portion size. Definitely must tries.Service and self service banchan was still great. Almost makes up for the self service pick up and clean up :)————One of the few legit, Japanese run and owned sushi restaurants around. Appreciate the quality of the seafood and daily specials. I used to complain about the attitude and service, but that is now a thing of the past. Service was friendly and efficient during times of Covid. Nothing was missing from our order and everything tasted fantastic. Should not have waited so long to come back. Will be part of my regular rotation now that we have rediscovered this place.

Sushi was nicely prepared, fresh ingredients, and hospitable service. It’s very intimate atmosphere and clean dining tables. Authentic.

Very good japanese food in the neighborhood. Owner and sushi chiefs are very friendly. Best Katsu Don ever. Love it. 😋

Great home style japanese cuisine. I really loved the customer service and had great tasting food to back it up. Definitely a small place but perfect for a small family. Definitely recommend if your in the area

Our long-time sushi restaurant (Bishamon) suddenly closed. We found Yashima nearby and gave it a try. Everything was excellent! It has a nice family atmosphere. Im very happy with our dining experience.

Yashima is a great restaurant. The fish is fresh and tasty, the prices are reasonable, and the waiters are friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend the dinner combination with sushi and sashimi.

Best place to eat Sashimi is at Yashima. They serve you with abig cut of their very fresh and buttery yellowtail sashimi that melts in your mouth, mmm yum.!!

The food is good, ate what I ordered which I dont usually do. The food taste just right, not salty. The eel is a winner. Most of all price of the food is reasonable. Good customer service too..
