4.0 of 5 stars. If you like mirugai, ask them for their Tsubugai here...it's not as expensive as mirugai but to me pretty similar in taste and texture. Also try their tako nigiri, normally octopus is really chewy...

Yelp.com Review - by Nghi D.

4.0 of 5 stars. Let's face it, we all know that some of the better places we've eaten at are hole in the walls. Yamakawa definitely falls into this category. Although the location is in a decaying plaza, they make up...

4.0 of 5 stars. Yamakawa is a decent Japanese restaurant in the San Gabriel Valley with moderately priced sushi, yet they show no moderation in quality and taste. Be forewarned! Do not go to Yamakawa and expect to...

2.0 of 5 stars. Sorry but I was not impressed by the Sushi Quality. Not very sure if its the same owners as previously mentioned. The sushi quality was below what I usually get at Little tokyo. My husband and I had...

Yelp.com Review - by Victor K.

5.0 of 5 stars. Located in the middle of a run down, and somewhat deserted shopping plaza but do not let its surroundings fool you. It is a hidden gem. This small sushi restaurant with a 7-8 person sushi bar and...

Yelp.com Review - by Leslie H.

5.0 of 5 stars. What a sin is good sushi. I believe that this restaurant will single handedly be the reason that I am heavily contributing to the extinction of fish. There's plenty of parking because this place is in...
