“Very Vegan/Vegetarian friendly place!!! ??✨ There's lots of rich and flavorful tofu options, not just Miso soup and Spicy Tofu soup (which are loaded with tofu!!) But also marinated tofu triangles, rice, rice noodles with veggies, kimchi, fruits, and other dishes as well ? lots of sauces and condiments offered to make it just the way you like!! ?? initially I thought I was just going to enjoy a simple miso soup or rice noodles, which as a Vegan not having a lot of options is something you're used to at most restaurants especially ones that specialize in serving meat but I was pleasantly surprised to find enough plant based goodness to have my fill!! ????✨ Service is nice and solid, you are attended to regularly but it's not overbearing in anyway my party of 3 and myself had a great time!! ✨✨✨ I live like 38 mins away but this is my new spot for Korean BBQ, thank you for catering to plant based people!! ???✨ Awesome place!! ???✨Vegetarian options: Lots of tofu, veggies, fruit, rice noodles, sauces, salad. You can get a complete plant based meal without any issues ???✨”

Thompson Brewing Company 9900 Indiana Ave #7, Riverside Brewery • $$

“The food here is delicious. I ordered a Mac and Cheese with Brisket and Fried Pickles. The reason for the 4/5 stars is the price to ratio of food. For those two Items it came out to 29 dollars, 10 for Mac +8 for brisket+ 10 for Friedpickles. I was rather disappointed in the portion mac and cheese, if i had to guess I would say it was 1 1/2 cups of delicious mac and cheese, which felt rather small for 18 dollars of mac and cheese with brisket.”

Hopefully you bring spectacular company with you because it'll make for a time to remember.We enjoyed the signature drinks like the Beekeeper (soft and delicate), the Rustik Old Fashion (unique and exquisite), and the Jekyll & Chai (exotic high). Appetizers included the roasted brussel sprouts, the village bakery bread and the Leche Verde Scallops (yum!). Dinner included the Rustik Burger (holy smokes!), the Wagyu Sirloin (like melted butter), and Creamy Bianca Pasta (c'mon!!). Nothing was boring. Nothing was lacking. Everything was spectacularly delicious.Dessert included generous servings of creme brulee and the chocolate brownie. Oof. People please. I became a VIP tonight. Woof!Reservations not required.

Ambiance was normal restaurant vibes (not fancy or intimate). Chips and salsa is fantastic. Chips are light and crispy, they were perfect. Table side guac was great, it's a little pricy but felt like it was worth it. Carne asada plate was amazing, steak was tender and the flavor was so good. Best steak I've had at a Mexican restaurant in a long time. The chimichurri sauce was on point. Pork Chili Verde was great, the FIL loved it. It was tender and flavorful. Beans and rice were good probably above average. This place is on the higher side of an everyday Mexican restaurant but well worth it. Definitely check it out.”

“Let me be clear this is the location on hole and California not the magnolia location where the servers are lazy and they don't have a clue how to provide decent basic customer service! At this location service was good not great , food was tasty and hot, the only reason why I gave 3 stars to the atmosphere of the place is for my own personal opinion that having live music in such small place is not necessary, not all of us like eating while we have the musicians blowing their damn instruments in my ear lol again this is my own personal opinion, I will definitely come back here but just not when they have live music going on.”

2955 Van Buren Boulevard Suite #D2, Riverside

“The sushi was very delicious and the place was clean, with friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor dining is available and they have an all you can eat option at times. The staff informed us that gratuity is automatically added for all dine in customers, but if you pay by card, there is still the option to add a tip, which I'm sure confuses diners. Especially those that have had a few adult beverages. ?All-in-all, this is the best place I've been in IE/Riverside and I will definitely be returning.”

“Had a birthday party for my two sons here. The staff was very friendly, our party host was great and there was another employee that made balloon swords for the kids. The buffet is nice, everyone was able to find something they liked.There was surprisingly a lot of choices of games and rides. Both my seven year old and my fourteen year old ( that thinks he's too cool for anything) had a blast. I was very happy.The single con I can think of is that it is pricey. The only reason we could afford to have a party here was because of our tax return.”

“Great experience. We came to the Mission Inn, specifically to have dinner at Duanes. We ordered the bone in ribeye/ blackened shrimp,with garlic mashed potatoes and garlic green beans. The sourdough bread was delicious, nice and warm. The green beans were nice and crisp. The mashed potatoes, great flavor. The ribeye was juicy and cooked to perfection, exactly how we ordered it. Made me want to eat the bone! The blackened shrimp was a little too spicy for our taste but good flavor, probably wont order that again. Armando and Marcos were our waiters. They did an amazing job! Very attentive! Come check it out. Great service and great options to fill not only your stomach but you mouth too. Open up!!!!”

I ordered hot level and it was not hot at all. The side I chose was macaroni and cheese, and it was good. Service was good. Baba' is located at the food lab in Riverside. So there are many other places to choose from as well. It's pretty loud inside but there's a lot of outside seating as well that is not loud.”

Romano's Chicago Pizzeria 285 Alessandro Blvd, Riverside Italian • $$

“Romanos has the best Italian food in the area. Their manicotti and chicken Parmesan is just perfect. My only complaint is with their take out. When we have food delivered from them about half the time they forget something in the order. The salad, the bread, once even the meatballs on our spaghetti and meatballs. It makes us pause sometimes before ordering because the omissions are so random and frequent, and disappointing when ordering is a treat after a long day. Still, the food is top notch and I highly recommend, just be aware of the likelihood of an omission on a delivery order.”
