I wrote a review after the restaurant had been purchased by the new owner and decided to give it another chance. In my first reviews I mentioned how bad it was that for the last 3 times even when we made reservations. Last time we ended up going to another Tappan Grill for my family and I were sat at a table to have the owner asked us to get up for he had made a mistake and sat us at the wrong table. Then he sat two other women at a table for 12 not even asked if there whole party was there which they weren't. We waited a while then my husband asked what our wait would still be and were told another 20-30 minutes and we already at the time waited about 15 minutes. I couldn't wait I am diabetic. The owner didn't care at all and never even apologized. This time there was no wait, we were seated right away. The first thing we noticed was new menu's and all the prices went up. The chef we had sucked he over cooked everything.He burned the fried rice in spots and he only cooked it in oil no butter or garlic butter it tasted nasty like oil and no flavor at all. The shrimp was hard over cooked and crunchy I couldn't even cut it much less bite it. My husband and my calamari was over cooked, almost burned on the back side and rubbery. My son in law and granddaughter steaks weren't medium rare. My family and grandkids ate very little of anything. The whole meal wasn't good it was a waste of money. We also had some sushi and the man that made it didn't even know how to roll a tight roll it kept falling apart and no it wasn't Edofo. I have came to Kishi for over 30 years it used to be really good. It's sad to say but I won't be back. This is my 3rd attempt with the new owner. Oh, also talked to the Chef the old owner the Joker who told all the jokes passed away.... how sad.... we really liked him. Before he left he had told me that he was going home to see his mom well he got sick and never got to make it. RIP

2. Sushi Shiro

If you order 3+ items from the special menu, you get 50% off everything. Any time, any day - I was told. It is a great deal! Leaving money aside, baked salmon roll is the best sushi experience I've ever had. You'll want to come back just to have one more roll.Non-specialty rolls/sushi are simple (half the price or less) but taste good and are made of fresh ingredients.3 rolls (1 special + 2 non-special) are enough to feed 2 people lunch. The total bill in this case will be less than $20!Finally, one of the chefs is so much fun to watch! You can tell he is great in what he is doing, he enjoys it and takes it seriously.
3. Mora Japanese Grill and Sushi Bar
Reviewed By Rosie S
This is my husband's favorite restaurant of all time. He always wants to come here. Apparently it hasn't been discovered yet, because it's always quiet and not too busy. The dinner show at the grill varies depending on the chef, but the food is always great and the hostess and wait staff are soo attentive. They often give my 2 year old a little extra food or a little something to play with and he's happy. Nicely decorated. We love to come here.
4. Kuma Sushi
Reviewed By VintagebyVera
Nice small restaurant with good, fast service. It has a sushi bar that sits about 20 patrons as well as small booths for 4 and larger table/booth combos for large parties of 8 to 10. Good quality sushi, tempura and sukiyaki. They have a moderate size menu and I never have had a bad dish here! They have a good selection of beer and saki. large screen TV behind sushi bar can be seen throughout the restaurant and they usually have sports on without sound. Good for friends and family but probably not a first date kinda place.

I don't even want to tell you how much I love this place, because then the line will be longer. I'm going to be shooting myself in the foot for writing this review...but each time I'm in Upland, I crave to stop here. This restaurant is newly taken over, and the food is delicious. They have the $20 AYCE, which I see several people coming in for, but I have not personally tried. I enjoy the Volcano roll, which is no raw fish, but salmon on top of Calif. roll. Wow. Something about that sauce "makes me mouth water". They servers are real nice. They bring a huge water right away, and cucumbers with ginger to start you off. They are attentive and want to please you. There is a long line Friday/Sat. nights, out the door, but daytime is ok so far. Not much to the restaurant...it's located in a strip mall, in front of the Lowe's near the massage place and the gas station. You'd never know it was a gem.
