Today, for lunch, we took my uncle to Kuma Sushi in Upland. His birthday is tomorrow and this is one of this favorite restaurants. I've been dining here for years and the place never seems to disappoint. We all ordered bento boxes. I chose the ribeye and the Katsu chicken with a side of ponzu sauce. The food was delicious. Everyone was happy, especially my uncle who ordered tempura shrimp and sashimi. For some reason, I ordered fried rice today. After thinking about it, I never do that here. Next time, I think I will stick to the plain old white rice. I love the fried rice at teppanyaki restaurants. This was... okay. Both servers were very nice and quite attentive. The service was excellent.

We’re sashimi lovers,since we’ve been to many Japanese restaurants in this area,what I have to say is Kuma provides with the best sashimi regarding the freshness and variety.

We have been coming here for many years. The sushi and all entrees are amazing. The owner and the entire staff are very attentive to all details. We recommend the hand rolls, although everything else is very good. If you are looking for the sushi, you must come here.
