The perfect restaurant to celebrate my birthday with family. The weight staff is very friendly and professional. There were a lot of options on the menu to choose from, which I like, because I’m not the biggest fan of sushi. We got edamame as an appetizer, and everybody ordered what they wanted food wise. The seafood feast is really something to marvel at. I got fillet and lobster and it was delicious. They even brought a dessert to celebrate my birthday. I got two Stellas’s to go with my meal and they hit good. I will definitely come back to celebrate again.Vegetarian options: Vegetarians can easily find something to eat here but I would not recommend this place to vegetariansDietary restrictions: I don’t like sushi, but I found a lot of options to eat here. So can you!Parking: Free parking lot, tons of spaces, quite a bit of distance to the restaurantWheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is inside Pechanga Casino. The casino is wheelchair accessible, which means the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but you will go on a journey to get there.

What can I say... This place is one of my favorites! Not only for the food, but because of the friendly service to match!It's always a pleasure dining here as the service is the best around. Get seated by the nicest hosts, Zarah and Shai. I also have noticed that Zarah always has a smile and makes the experience start off right.If you get a chance ask for one of my favorite servers: Sabrina, Miki or Ernie - they are professional yet friendly and always look out for their customers!If no tables are available, the bar serves the full menu and there's usually no waiting.If you're looking for suggestions some of my favorite dishes are the king crab legs, surf and turf, hamachi cheek, sushito peppers, poki tacos and the beef skewers. They don't have a ton of sushi rolls to choose from unfortunately... But for sushi the salmon and yellowtail are always excellent.

Robert provided excellent service as usually performed by Umi's team with the leadership of Ray's outstanding guidance. My family and I are looking forward to returning soon.

Great sushi, many choices that you can choose from and more choices for appetizers, but the edemame in garlic soy sauce is fantastic. Had a wonderful Old Fashioned with Japanese whiskey made by Ernesto.

It was ok. Ambiance, eh, the place is so full of Pechanga players that it's difficult to have an upscale experience. Most other patrons mingle in wearing sweatpants.Hard pass on the oysters. They think they do you a favor by loosening them, but then gone is the taste of the ocean, one of the main reasons for oysters on the half shell. For all you know,these are canned oysters put on clean shells. Don't bother.Sashimi platter is as expected, though they don't offer any real high-end selections. A handfull of rolls are offered, the orange roll was tasty. The lobster crunch roll. I give it 3 stars.

My partner and I decided to have dinner here with golf friends, I was quite surprised at how reasonably priced this sushi restaurant was… the portions were huge, we ordered way too much. The food did not come out fast but we were busy enjoying ourselves, when it did come out the rest of the dishes were rollin out quickly.OrderedBeef stickCrunch rollSpicy tunaVeggie TempuraAs mentioned, it was more than enough for the both of us. One of our friends ordered the lobster roll and it was absolutely huge. Partner said it was delish, fresh and had a nice crunch. P.S Random – Ask for sourdough rolls, they are delicious and pairs well with the clam chowder!

I attended a concert in The Summit and made a reservation for dinner at 8:45pm. Lucky for me I did because the hostess was turning away prospective diners stating that the earliest opening would be 10:30pm.I was led by the hostess to a nice booth for two (thank you!) even though I was dining alone. I ordered a Hendricks and tonic and the sashimi platter and the sushi platter.My server was apologetic about the wait for my food ... no problem, I was in no hurry. The sashimi platter came first; the only item I didn't care for were the two pieces of seared fish. I prefer my sashimi sans any preparation.There was a long wait for the sushi platter but it gave me an opportunity to people watch. The sushi could have been arranged more artfully because there was a large empty space on one side of the rectangular platter. I managed to finish all but three pieces of the crab roll. I thought the rice was a little mushy; I was in Japan for 3 weeks and came to appreciate the firmness of the rice there.Did I expect world-class Japanese food in Temecula? No, but it was fresh and, with a few exceptions, tasted good. I thought the price was reasonable ($126.36 + $28 tip) and the service was great. Four+ stars.

Great customer service! We arrived to our dinner reservation 15-20 min late due to heavy weekend/Halloween traffic. The restaurant was able to still honor our reservation. They also gladly seated us even though half of our party was still looking for parking. As soon as we were seated, we were greeted by our wonderful waiter. Our waiter gave us the menus and kept checking up on us even though our party had not arrived yet. Eventually when our whole party arrived, we began ordering food and drinks. We ordered the Grilled Mushrooms, the Fried Shishito Peppers, the Sushi Platter, the Temecula Fire roll, and the Umi roll. In addition, I ordered the Garden Moscow Mule. Our whole party enjoyed our food. It was very fresh and satisfying. I highly recommend the Grilled Mushrooms. They were greatly seasoned. The Garden Moscow Mule was also very refreshing. It was made with muddled fresh ingredients such as mint, cucumbers, and blueberries. It was also my friend's birthday and the waiter brought out a birthday dessert. It was chocolate covered, chocolate mouse, with raspberry sauce, and raspberries. The dessert was delicious! Great balance of sweet and tart. Overall, I enjoyed the food, service, and free parking. I'll most likely return if I am ever in the Temecula area again.
