About the restaurant

Here at Shokunin we serve traditional omakase styled courses.
Omakase is a Japanese phrase that means "I'll leave it up to you”. The chef chooses the fresh fish selection daily and garnishes it into a 11 or 13 course meal. Our mission is to deliver a fine dining experience in a casual environment all at an affordable price.

As a disclaimer, we do not sell any rolls that are baked, fried, or contain eel sauce or spicy mayo. We also do not sell any kitchen items, such as teriyaki bowls.

We have eaten here many times in the last few years. The service is always excellent and our food came out quickly. I ordered the teriyaki chicken, which was excellent but my baked potato was cold and the butter didn’t melt. The others ordered prime rib which was also excellent and cooked to order. Also, 6oz top sirloin cooked perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It is quite loud in there but that just means everyone is having a good time. We will definitely be back.

I hadn't been to Spaggi's in 20 years. Not sure why I waited. I was meeting 2 friends from high school. Each of us enjoyed our entries. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Service was very attentive. A great evening. Will be back soon.

Had a lovely evening at Veuve Noire. Was a very romantic and high end ambience. I’ve never been in a place like that, where the actual bar was offset from the rest of the restaurant and had a separate entrance where they escort you in. It added to the mystique and fun. My romantic date and I enjoyed the service, drinks and appetizers (you have to try the bacon wrapped dates!). It came up as one of the best romantic bars in Rancho Cucamonga when I did my search and I would definitely agree that it is. Made for a very nice date.
