15 Best Japanese Restaurants in Riverside

“El mejor sabor el sushi que he probado, exelente servicio, la comida exquisita,👌“

“Found this gem when I fist moved here in march! Reasonable prices and quality of fish is good. I always sit at the sushi bar and the sushi chefs are always so nice and on top of it. Cajun salmon is delicious! Definitely recommend“

“the California rolls are awesome highly recommend it.“

“My wife loves the shrimp burrito. Plus the yakisoba chicken plate was too good to be true. I highly recommend this.“

“Food was excellent! My only complaint is the packaged Wasabi tasted weird. Also, the ginger was spicy?!?! Their garlic spicy edamame was delicious!! I’ll give it 4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This spot is a hit! Lots of things to like. The menu is a little different and seems confusing. But order something! We tried one of every ramen. One pork ramen, one pork ramen kick, one chicken ramen, one vegetable ramen, each one had a distinct broth full of flavor.

I have to say this is the first time I go to a ramen place that offer a medium spicy which they call “kick” if you want a little spicy go with that.

But honestly just the regular ramen taste great! Highly recommend it!“

“Great restaurant at the Riverside Plaza. Always a fun time at the hibachi. Great service, generous portions, and delicious food. Cocktails are a plus!! Love this place and definitely recommend. Sitting at the sushi bar is also highly recommended if hibachi isn't your thing. The sushi is delicious 😋“

“Great service and food 🥘👌💯“

“PLEASE READ ENTIRE REVIEW :

The sushi here was absolutely incredible. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The quality of the fish was excellent, and every roll we tried exceeded our expectations. The chefs clearly take pride in what they do, and the food alone would definitely bring us back.

Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by something we couldn’t ignore. While we were dining, we overheard the manager training several new employees. Constructive coaching is one thing, but the way he spoke to them came across as rude, disrespectful, and unnecessarily harsh. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere for both the staff and the customers.

A restaurant can have amazing food, but a healthy organizational culture matters too. Employees deserve to be trained with respect, and the way leaders communicate sets the tone for the entire workplace. I genuinely hope management reflects on this because the kitchen is doing an outstanding job, and the staff deserve leadership that builds them up rather than tears them down.

I still highly recommend the food, but I also hope the restaurant takes steps to create a more positive and supportive work environment. We also learned that the manager at this time is the cousin of the owner of this restaurant.“

“Wow! What a great experience. I was visiting family in Riverside and I was invited to attend their regular ritual of all you can eat sushi. I like sushi, but this group is hardcore. First, it was crowded and we had 11 people. We waited for just a short time and then got a table in the middle. The atmosphere was awesome! Sushi everywhere! What was super cool was they give you a sheet with all the available options and you just fill it out for the table. So we had our designated sushi leader fill it out as we let him know what we liked or wanted from the menu. I was in sushi heaven when the food arrived! I loved everything we tried, and I wish I could remember some of the specifics but I know the capaccio was amazing, and I really liked the stuffed fried jalapenos. They had to roll me out because I ate so much.“

“if you are in the riverside area near the magnolia center and in the mood for sushi 🍣, you got to give this place a try. the food is fantastic and the drinks, wow! prices are fair, beer is cold, service is very good and lots of choices on menu. they got karaoke on Fridays atv6 and it's just a cool hole in the wall.“

“It’s delicious and friendly staff.“

“I gave them 4 stars because the service was a little slow despite having 7 servers and a half full restaurant. The sushi was good, but the other items were just so/so. I would definitely go back, but I'm only going to stick to the sushi.“

“I came in about 10 PM and ordered the Chashu pork ramen. The wait is about 10 minutes and for about 27 dollars it’s worth your money. The pork tasted good with a salty flavor and just right texture not too hard not too soft. The ramen broth was heartwarming with seaweed and Chashu flavor. I ordered the spicy option but they also have a non spicy option. FYI they also blast rock music if that’s your thing. The restroom is a little dirty with graffiti but overall a gem for Ramen in Riverside. Definitely will visit again.“
