First time eating here and we will definitely be back. It is a small place and seems to get packed pretty fast so we did have about an hour wait. They have this online waiting update which is really cool so you know what place you are in line. The food was delicious, service was great and they have a large selection to choose from. It was worth the wait. Loved the albacado ball and even the desert was great! Definitely a must try if you are in the area.
First time customer. Went to eat here on the suggestion of our son's baseball coach. He gave it rave reviews and said we wouldn't be disappointed. Boy, was he right! Loved it. Small but quaint hole-in-the-wall. And like most hole-in-the-wall, it's da'bomb!!! Service was very attentive! Servers were very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. Happy Hour starting at 8:30pm! Sushi was so fresh, melt in your mouth yummy, beautifully made and price was lower than other sushi places. Vanilla Fish is now our go-to sushi place.
Popular sushi joint. Lots of rolls, both raw and cooked variety. Limited seating, so reservations are recommended. Beer, wine, and sake available. Ample free parking and conveniently located close to the 71 freeway.
Fantastic. Great atmosphere, more contemporary than most traditional sushi joints, but amazing. Get there early as it fills up quick. Excellent thick cut sushi and sashimi. Fast service and fair prices for what your get.
I love vanilla fish! It’s been consistent every time I go ! The Ichiban Roll was something new I tried and it did not disappoint! Definitely something new to try!
We have been going to this place since it first opened. Took my girlfriend here for our first date 6 years ago and it still lives up to their reputation. Always visit this place when we come back to southern California and we love it!! Get the Butterfield roll yiu can't go wrong and all the sashimi and fish is so fresh!
Excellent service, food, ambience. Food was very tasty. We ordered Salmon teriyaki and Chicken cutlet curry. Both of them were awesome. Chicken was perfect fried same for salmon, curry was awesome. This me being Indian, telling curry was tasty , it means something Besides all these it was cheap too.
