    The best Japanese restaurant in the Inland Empire, in my opinion, and we've tried many. We're so glad we found this place. It's a small place, but the ambiance is traditionally Japanese, which takes us back to our Japan visit. The sashimi is always fresh and sweet tasting. The service is quick once you're seated, although this time our server forgot to serve our soup & salad until we asked her about them . We were also busy that we didn't notice until our food was served. There usually is a long wait if you missed the window of opportunity, so be patient. It's worth the wait.

    Always consistent with high quality ingredients. This restaurant does not disappoint. Great service, small but cozy & warm. Reasonable pricing for the quality. Seems to care about their customers.

    This place is great! I would highly recommend sitting at the bar for Omakase. Did it recently and would 100% do again. The place gets quite busy, so getting there early or making a reservation is a must if you want to be promptly seated.

    很喜歡這段話,建議給所有的女生,千萬不要看到別人發光,就覺得自己黯淡,他強任他強,清風拂山崗,每個人的生活節奏不一樣, 3分鐘的泡麵有人愛, 3小時的煲湯一樣有人做,只要是在變好的路上,慢一點沒有關係~ 日本料理, 住在東區Diamond bar的 , 沒人會不知道這家Makomae, 一樣是老店, 一樣是堅持傳統, 以不變應萬變的日本師傅, 他家的omakase真的也是走cp 值超高的路線, 以前就不貴, 現在更顯得便宜, 東西好吃,新鮮, 完全不走花俏路線, 但是, 缺點就是, 去吃10 次都是一樣的菜色, 魚片, 沒有任何變化是要小小抱怨的地方, 他家的熟食, 我也喜歡, 每次去除了生魚片覺得不過癮, 還會貪嘴的多點兩道熱菜!
