The quality just isn't as great as it used to be. The best thing here is the salmon or unagi nigiri is their all you can eat (AYCE). I could eat a dozen orders of this. The salmon is usually very buttery and good quality. They do give a little too much rice for my liking though.Some disappointments lately were the scallop, sweet shrimp, and escolar. The scallop is not the custardy fresh hotate I am used to... It is cooked tiny scallops inside a gunkan maki. Not appetizing at all. The sweet shrimp is also blanched or cooked. Not sweet at all. Very misleading. My recent visits they have also put sriracha on the escolar. It really ruins the flavor of the fish. Not a fan at all.Another downside is that their flame throwers make the whole restaurant SMELL like propane! It is a big turn off when you're trying to enjoy some sushi.
The salmon sushi here is a total surprise! Smooth, thick and savory fatty. However, the rolls are a bit too salty as the sauces are overtaking the true flavors.Service is sometimes ignorant, too.
First time visit. Prices comparable to other sushi places. Great service. Friendly & attentive staff. Tried AYCE, $33 for dinner. Food delivered promptly, as ordered and delicious. Loved their side salad, I believed it had shredded crab in it, light flavorful dressing, nice surprise how filling a small side salad could be.
We were given menus when we we're seated and ordered Ala cart from menu card. Lobster roll was excellent. When we were given bill the price on one of our items was $2 more. The cashier said " Oh the menu isn't updated, we have been told that before. Did u want to speak to a manager." REALLY, it was my birthday and my daughter didn't want to wait.
Let me start by saying that I am rarely inclined to write a review— however, this establishment impressed me quite a lot. I've loved trying different sushi places in every state I go to for over 15 years. Very few establishments burn a mark In my mind but this place has succeeded in becoming one of my favorite places to eat. The speed at which the food comes out of the kitchen is surprisingly fast, and the quality itself is both beautiful in presentation AND astonishing inflavor, both in enjoyability and depth. There is no doubt I would come here again to eat.
Absolute best sushi in Riverside hands down. Always fresh and delicious with a great selection or rolls and sashimi from the unique to the standard. They are a top quality operation all around, not to mention the patio is a beautiful space with greenery and wooden latices. The music is great but not so loud you can't hear your dining partners. 10000% would recommend to any sushi lovers used to orange county beach side quality.
Funny thing is we went to eat at the Chinese restaurant across the way. It was closed so we decided to eat sushi. It’s a fairly large place. Didn’t know they offered “All You Can Eat”! I never can eat enough to get that but my husband can. He ordered a plethora of things and I ordered their chicken teriyaki bento which was pretty good! My husband got a few rolls, a hand roll, a few sushi pieces, oyster shooter, mussels and edamame! He definitely got his worth! He said it was tasty. I tried some edamame and it was good. Will definitely come back to try their Poke! Can it compare to Hawaii? We will see!
Sushi rolls are good, service not the greatest and there is a serious lack in staff. We've been coming here for about 7 months and it's unfortunate that the service has steadily declined. From the get-go the staff seemed overwhelmed, it took a long time to get our drink order out, the waitress forgot my kids food order and once we placed our second round of AYCE they completely forgot about us. More than 20 minutes had passed and there had been no indication of food coming or any certainty that the rolls were being prepared. We got up and started to walk out, we explained to the waitress that we never received our second food order. If the staff increases and the attention to customers improves, I would gladly return, but until then I don't see us returning.For anyone willing to try them, I would recommend the Hummingbird and Banana roll.
This is the BEST around this area i have gone to by far !! I will definitely be coming back here again!! Everything we had was delicious and fresh.. My husband and I had the All You Can Eat and it was his first time and he also Loved it!! The food coma afterwards was not very fun however ?
Absolutely the best sushi I have had in Riverside. I love their All You Can Eat.
