Top Asian Fusion Restaurant in San Dimas
Teriyaki House
1415 W Arrow Hwy, San Dimas, CA 91773, United States
Weighted score, 5.1, explanation below. So, this is a very earnest food establishment. The shop gives off a vibe that the staff have a strong desire to please with their product. The furnishings and decor are nice, dated, such that you feel you are in the 90s or 00s, which isnt bad here as it is clean and in good shape. Environment inside cuts out the outside in a good way, could easily spend a few hours with company and not realize how much time had passed outside. Food is very good. Though I like my teriyaki chicken with slightly more salt and garlic, but was just fine, some would likely appreciate it more as is anyway. Macaroni salad was great. House made thousand island dressing, was fine. Picked ginger and cabbage were good. This meal was all around very good, felt like going to someones home for a meal. Last bit that put it over the top for intent to please (weighted addition), they give an individually wrapped wafer in a plastic bag sealed with a thank you sticker. I cant think of another food location that has gone to such lengths to please, amazing, got .5 added to overall score. Will come again, will bring others, anytime want teriyaki am coming here, best teriyaki plate that I know of in So. Cal., cannot recommend enough. Thank you for the delightful meal.
WaBa Grill
1036 W Gladstone St, San Dimas, CA 91773, United States
Waste of time. I made a pick up order for 6:30pm on 9/14 for right when I get off of work. Got to the store and called the curbside # to get my order. The girl who answered made it found like she lost my order or something? She said my order would be out in a FEW minutes in a confused tone. As I sit and wait 3 other people who did not have online orders went in- places their order waited for it to be made and then walked out and drove off. I know this because I could see through the window of the waba grill. Finally I get an email that says my order has been completed yet my order was never given to me. I go inside, ask about my order. It's not ready- she has to get everything together still. What's the point of setting a pick up time if they don't care about it?! On top of that- food was cold and the order was wrong.

This is probably some of the best sushi that Ive had in the area. The sushi is always fresh, and Ive never had fish that seems like its old. I always get the sashimi personally, although I have also had the tempura which is equally as good. Its breaded nicely and its not overly greasy or anything. The rice is basic but a classic. Its never been poorly done for me, so Im happy with that. They also bring you free edamame.As for drinks, their tea is amazing. The glass that they serve it in keeps it really warm without burning your hands, so props to them for that.The staff is always friendly and helpful. They come over quickly, refill the edamame, and refill teas. The food always comes out fairly quickly.The interior is pretty nice. Its you run of the mill sushi restaurant decorations, but its not like it looks run down at all.This is probably one of my favorite sushi restaurants in the area. I really enjoy the food and I come here quite frequently. I would highly recommend.UPDATE: They no longer offer edamame for free and the outdoor seating isn't the best at all. If it keeps going downhill I'll have to change my rating :/
ocean house fish grill
559 W Arrow Hwy, San Dimas, CA 91773, United States
We found this place a little while ago while looking for fish and chips. They have a pretty big selection of food, but I have got to say they do some of the dishes pretty well. The most interesting thing we got here was definitely the sweet corn milk drink, which at the time of this review comes free with a check in. I love how it is easy to pay with Apply Pay, and how easy it was for me to order both times. They seem to get the food ready pretty fast, so just make sure you get the timing right if you plan to get it to go.FoodLike I mentioned before the food is pretty good, and to find this place in San Dimas, lets say it is awesome. Great to see so much more different types of restaurants like this open up in this city.We have tried :Fried Calamari - This comes with a cocktail sauce and was quite tasty!Fried Zucchini - Comes with a ranch dip, would probably prefer it was less breading.Cajun Salmon Salad- The salmon was just cooked to perfection, not too dry, just right with the Cajun Seasoning.Clam Chowder - If you want Clam Chowder this place has a pretty good oneShrimp Garlic Noodle- this was just ok.. again maybe if we ate it when it came out it may have been more tastierSmoky Seared Ahi Tuna - I believe this was one of my favorite dishes here, sweared Ahi, not too cooked or too raw. YumCrusted Swai Caesar salad- I liked the different breading they used for this. It was pretty decent, but the sauce was too thick.Pacific Cod with Miso Glaze - The cod was pretty good, I was just not that big of a fan of the purple mash potatoesThe only comment I would make is that their salad dressings, I wish was not so thick. It just tasted more like a dip instead of a dressing .Both of the times I ordered to go, and like I said it was quick and easy. Both times I had to get my food at different times, once late, and once on time... and definitely you know fried food taste better when it just comes out. We will see if we will get to try something else next time. Until then!
Kotsu Ramen & Gyoza San Dimas
969 W Arrow Hwy, San Dimas, CA 91773, United States
Not horrible but would not re-visit.Ramen was too creamy and the quality of the pork wasnt great. Pork was 20% fat, chewing into the fat was unpleasant. The pork wasnt cut and I had a hard time trying to eat the ramen and other ingredients.Perhaps if the owner focused more on the food rather than the looks of the place, I would give it a higher rating. Ive had much better ramen in small places ran by mom and pop shops.Personally, I prefer the small mom and pop shops when I eat ramen. The quality is definitely noticeable and you can tell they pay more attention to the quality of the food. Heres a place I love as reference for all you ramen lovers!Fukuoka Hakata Ramen: Located in Chino hills CA.
