KOPAN SUSHI & RAMEN_ WEST COVINA

The place is small. Seemed cozy and we sat at a booth. There was a table with a different party very close to us. So we were speaking quietly out of respect for the other customers. Not my favorite. Found myself whispering. Angel our waiter was rude in more than one way. He also did not know what an IPA was. No big deal. But we felt extremely rushed by him and he also forgot our sauce. The rolls had very small portions of fresh fish. Didn’t like the taste of their Salmon sashimi. I’ve had better. Way better at Marui Sushi in Corona. Yes, it’s a drive but definitely worth. Their octopus is also amazing and they always serve the freshest fish in my opinion. (At Marui). Our visit was short and unpleasant!

I’ve been here a few times, even before the remodel and change of name. The food is really good here, service is fairly slow, usually 1-2 servers and pricey. Small portions and it’s really pricey but food is good. I bought the large sashimi boat and I felt that it wasn’t really worth the price. Definitely will not get it again. Jalapeño bombs were decent but very very small. It’s basically 2 jalapeño cut into halves. I really enjoyed the Sapporo roll, volcano roll, and the zen was great. I’m not a fan of baked salmon roll and the super Philadelphia roll is mid, just small portions. Most of the premium rolls are $14.95-$18 each and are about 6-8 rolls but small rolls. Definitely not our go to spot but we will come sometimes if we going to the movies next door. Under the new ownership, this place is definitely much better than Damu. The new remodeled interior is amazing. Really pretty and unique.

Updated Jan 28: Came here again on Jan 27, this Kopan location really is by far the best! Both in taste and presentation. Really recommend this location!!! Original: Really like the atmosphere of this Kopan location!! All the waitresses were super super friendly here. They pay attention to your drink level and ask whether you needed refills and whether everything is alright. The presentations of all the food we've ordered was amazing! Sushi comes with the correct size and fish is fresh. Rolls comes in good portion sizes and have their own unique flavors to them. The only thing I wish they can improve is their wasabi, it feels a bit too grainly and powdery and not enough flavor to it. Would definetly recommend and come back here to dine again!!!

This is one of the prettiest Japanese restaurant I’ve been to. I was told it’s the newest Kopan restaurant. The setting feels really Japanese. The vibe and the decor are really nice. Food was great. The yuzu sashimi is extremely nice. Also my frist time trying ramen without noodles. They’re full of seafood and delicious broth. The yuki sake is very good, a little sweet. Service is very nice too!

Very good sushi rolls, with a buy one get one 50% off deal. Went for the mango and oyako rolls. The mushroom was also really good; sauce was slightly different from the Rowland Heights location but good in its own way. The ramen was also really good.

Conflicted about this place but I stand by my rating. They were very understaffed, with no one acknowledging us or communicating how long the wait would be. Additionally we had to wait outside in the cold when we could clearly see a lot of available seating. Wait time was over an hour. Food was great but not enough to make up for all the time spent waiting and the amount of money we spent. Would never recommend this spot.

I use to go here when it was Sushi Damu. Have to say I love this place better. The food is great and the presentation is ridiculous, in a good way. The atmosphere is also really nice. Only thing is the booths along the wall are a little small. I took my kid and it was a little uncomfortable for her to sit on my lap while we ate. Other than that everything is great, highly recommend.

My friends enjoy going to the Kopan in Whittier. It is a bit of a drive, but when we found out there's a Kopan in West Covina, we went running. Same quality of food and service. Weekends can get crowded, but I've never experienced a long wait or bad service with the place being busy. Honestly, it's a great spot for sushi.
