Best Japanese Restaurants in Temple City

We celebrated our anniversary at this exceptional restaurant and were delighted by the experience. The steak and duck were among the finest in the area, and the food was simply exquisite. The drinks were customized to our preferences, and the staff provided top-notch service, making us feel truly welcomed. The complimentary sweets at the end of dinner were a delightful surprise, with the cotton candy being irresistible even if you're full. Highly recommend for any occasion!

Fabulous Food, Drink, Service (thank you Jessie) and ambience.

If you're craving authentic Japanese food, Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori & Men-Ya in Alhambra is a must-visit! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with an authentic vibe that transports you straight to Japan. I started with their famous Japanese meat skewers—absolutely delicious! The yakitori was perfectly grilled, with just the right amount of char and tenderness. The flavors were spot-on, and each skewer was a delightful burst of savory goodness. Next, I had the ramen. The broth was rich and flavorful, with a great depth that comes from hours of careful preparation. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the toppings (from soft-boiled eggs to tender slices of pork) really elevated the dish. It's easily one of the best ramen bowls I've had. To round out the meal, I enjoyed a glass of cold sake. It was smooth and refreshing, a perfect complement to the meal. Overall, everything was great. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly without sacrificing quality. Whether you're a fan of yakitori or ramen, this place does it right. I’ll definitely be back for more!
