Food 5/5 My first impression was that the fish was high quality, I was happy to see that the rolls didn't include imitation crab. The sushi was delicious and practically melted in my mouth. The rolls are a bit on the smaller side; usually one roll fills me up, but here I had to order two. I also really enjoyed the miso soup. The edamame was good, though a little too salty for my liking. Customer Service 5/5 Customer service was excellent! Our waitress was super friendly and welcoming, and I loved that she gave great recommendations. She really knew the menu, which is always a plus and so helpful when ordering, especially at a new spot. Loved, loved, loved it! Ambience 5/5 I was shopping at the thrift store next door and never expected the inside of this place to be so nice. It's a hidden little gem, the interior is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully put together! Cleanliness 5/5 Super clean during my visit ! Wait Time 5/5 We were seated immediately, and since it wasn't busy at first, our food arrived quickly. Once it got a bit busier, the wait was longer, but still completely reasonable. Cost 4/5 It was a bit on the pricey side for the portion size, but considering the quality and flavor, it was understandable. Just keep in mind that rolls are around $20 each. Appetizers, like the spicy edamame, are $10, the miso soup was $4, and extras are listed on the back of the menu for an additional charge.
First timer here! I had a wonderful experience! Omakase was really good! The price point is average for quality sushi. Omakase is a dining style where you trust your chef to choose the freshest ingredients and curate your dining experience. The chef didn't let us down! We usually bring a bottle of wine with us but the corkage fee was $25 so we opted to just get a bottle of their Sauvignon blanc. I forgot the name but it was in the $35-$40 range and I enjoyed it! Maybe a little too much as I was buzzed pretty quickly lol. The staff was nice and welcoming. I always recommend sitting at the bar. I love being able to chat with the chef and observe how he cuts fish and makes nigiri. The inside of the restaurant is clean and modern with sleek lines and simple yet elevated features. The ambiance was really nice. The appetizer plate was a great start. There were so many things on the plate and I must say my favorite was the cute little deep fried crab! It looked a little intimidating at first but it was love at first crunch. The fish was fresh. The sushi rice was made perfectly. The servings were nice. The chef even asked us if we were still hungry and he'd make us a hand roll. Usually I would want to try but I was stuffed! I finished the meal with matcha mochi ice cream. Yum! Can't wait to visit again!
I came here with my hubby around 8 PM on a Saturday night and it was fairly quiet. The atmosphere was pretty chill and you could see the sushi chefs making the food behind the counter which we appreciated. Even though it didn't close till much later, they were more focused on prepping for the next day, then providing good service. For example, we were never given any soy sauce, one of the rolls that we were excited for did not come with the sauce and the server mentioned something along the line of it no longer coming with it and that they were gonna phase out the menu, but he told us after we had ordered. Lastly, we were not offered refills on our water or soda as he was more focused on the football game on the screen. Onto the food we had the edamame with garlic and truffle oil. It was addictively good because of the saltines and the garlic flavor was very present, but what I didn't notice as much was the truffle. I would not let that deter you from ordering it as it was still very delicious and we finished the whole plate. They were out of the oysters when we came in, which was pretty unfortunate but we did end up getting the Shishito peppers as another side. In my opinion they needed a little bit of acidity and salt, but otherwise they were OK. The miso soup tasted fresh but it was lacking toppings. I got one little piece of tofu. The two rolls that we had were pretty fresh and that was the most enjoyable part of the meal we had the lemon roll and the Momo special. Our favorite of the two was the lemon roll. It was refreshing and the tuna melted in your mouth. The momo special was okay and this was the roll that was missing the sauce. The soju bottle did come in a cute little barrel bucket but unfortunately, even that wasn't cute enough to save the overall meal.
Was in the area for Castlepark, and family was craving sushi. Out of the several options in the area, we found this location and it didn't disappoint. I wouldn't expect quality and tasty sushi out in Riverside, but this place exceeded my expectations. Each roll was made with attention to detail, good portions and fresh ingredients. Staff were friendly, and they mentioned whether we had made reservations. But we did not, and they were still able to get our party of 9 in with no problem. There is a separate side room good for larger parties as well as a huge group if needed. Decor is modern, and clean. Our server was wonderful, she was friendly, good at explaining the dishes, and was prompt with refilling our drinks or letting us know it's their last call. Cost is roughly $20+ for each roll, and they also offer an Omakase option which is pretty cool to see. This place is above the standard sushi places I've visited before, as each dish stood out and tasty.
An Unforgettable Omakase Experience with Chef Garu Hands down one of the best sushi omakase experiences I've ever had. Chef Garu is truly a master of his craft. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, impeccably fresh, and beautifully presented. You can immediately feel the passion and precision behind each bite. Chef Garu takes the time to explain the fish, the sourcing, and the technique, which makes the experience feel intimate and special rather than rushed. The balance of flavors, textures, and temperature was flawless--each piece melted in your mouth and somehow outdid the last. This isn't just a meal; it's an experience. From the warm hospitality to the attention to detail, everything was elevated. If you're a true sushi lover or looking for a memorable omakase, Chef Garu is an absolute must. Worth every penny, and I can't wait to return
Always an amazing experience! The fish is amazing and the best I've ever had anywhere! We've eaten at Nobu too and this is such a special treat that I wish more people knew what a gem we have here!! As I eat the salmon, I close my eyes so that I can focus on the texture and taste of the fish. It takes me away from my stresses to just focus on this one piece of perfection! That's the gift here- Bliss Order anything and you'll be amazed how much better it is here than any other sushi place you've been! The inside is nice too they decorated for Christmas lol
Save your money,save yourself the trip ,it's not even not even mid it's subpar at best ,the food was was edible ...that's all I have to say I understand taste is subjective but for the price i expect alot more ,highly let down .Service was okay ,they weren't that busy when I came and the waitress didn't check in with us at all which is whatever that's not impactful towards my review,my review is mostly in reference to the actual food. Ambiance is chill and cozy .

my boyfriend and i ate everything in 15 minutes...not exaggerating. even our waiter mentioned it HAHA this place is amazing. the ambiance is more upscale than a typical sushi restaurant. there is lots of variety of sushi that i have never seen before. my boyfriend even compares the sushi to the ones he ate in japan :) starting off with the handroll set, everything was so delicious but i would say the second and the fourth one are my favorite (not sure what they are ). each one is so unique. i would love to come back and reorder this again the protein roll was also very delicious. (sadly no photo sorry). i love that there's a roll with no rice and just fish and avocado (for my gym rats out there!!) but i felt like it was missing something... it was still very delicious though lastly, we ordered assorted nigiri. salmon from norway, hamachi, engawa (THE BEST!! don't leave without trying this), jumbo scallop, and eel. each fish is fresh but im still thinking about the engawa. the jumbo scallop was definitely interesting but had too much wasabi for my personal liking can't wait to come back and try the omakase read more

OMG this is the freshest sushi I've ever had!! I ate it without soy sauce as the chef recommended so I could taste all the exquisite favors. It was beyond amazing. This place is for sushi connoisseurs only. It will spoil you forever and you won't be able to eat "all you can eat" sushi again. The prices are reflective of the quality, but I for one don't mind paying for quality. The presentation and customer service are also superb! I will make this place my "celebration of me" spot. read more

OMAKASE is where it's at! We did the 8 course meal and every bite was delicious! The only thing I didn't eat all of it was the egg soup. It was good but filling and I wanted to save room in my belly! The service was great and our server told us about everything they were serving. The place is roomy and nice. Definitely going back to do the bigger course! The fish was so fresh and they even had monkfish liver which is one of my favorites! read more

Second time here, it's the best sushi I've had including LA, San Fran and Tokyo, quality of the fish is excellent. Omakase (trust me) is the way to go. Garlic edamame is a must. You will pay a little more and be happy you did. read more

If you wanted buffet go somewhere else. This is a place of high quality special sushi, the "Omakase". We were sitting at the bar and watching "the" chef preparing every item for us. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. The young man and young lady server must have asked us "everything ok?" more than 5 times. They were very attentive. The black/oak minimalist ambience is very comforting. I will definitely return. read more

This was our first time here and this sushi was such a cut above all the rest. So fresh and so much better than the low quality all you can eat that's everywhere. We feel very lucky to have this place in our own backyard. Such great customer service and an overall really enjoyable dining experience! read more

This place has my vote for the highest quality sushi in the entire IE... and I've been to lots of places. Everything was noticeably fresh and the waitstaff was very friendly. Even the wasabi they serve is premium hand grated wasabi root. I have the bento box, and the veggies below the teriyaki chicken was the biggest flavor surprise. I also recommend the garlic truffle edamame. Hope y'all enjoy this gem! read more

WHAT A SURPRISE IN RIVERSIDE! Absolutely loved the sushi today, so authentic and prepared so well. My favorite was the bluefin tuna, it just melted in my mouth!

Thank chef g San for the passion you pour into your food. It is noticed. We will be back!! read more

I'm very impressed with Momo Sushi! Came in here for lunch and sat at the sushi bar. Peter, the sushi chef, and the other servers were very attentive and friendly! This spot is definitely more expensive than your average sushi spot, but the quality of everything is superb. I highly recommend their halibut nigiri! It was the best! Melts in your mouth! I really enjoyed the handrolls as well. Each of them were so delicious and had special ingredients mixed in with the fish. Also, I got yellowtail nigiri but didn't get a picture of it... man, that was delicious as well! I will for sure make my way over here again! I want to do the omakase next time I visit! read more

Like someone else mentioned, I too have been waiting for this place to open . came in today with my son for lunch a week after their opening and immediately was impressed by the interior design. It is NICE, Like an upscale OC or LA sushi restaurant. It is definitely the kind of place for a date or other special occasion. I've been to most sushi places in riverside. This is on a different level. Note : no AYCE here. The emphasis is on quality , not quantity . Ordered the Uni and New Zealand salmon belly sushi. Fantastic. Impeccable service. So glad we finally have something like this around here ! read more

This place is AMAZING! Not only is the service great but so is the food. After trying it for the first time a few months back, we've been frequently going back weekly. Cindy (one of the servers) is very friendly and welcoming as well as knowledgeable when it comes to their sushi. Let her know what your likes are and they will curate an awesome sushi experience for you. Occasionally when we go in we just ask them to surprise us and they do! The restaurant is very clean and welcoming as you're greeted when walking in by the sushi chefs and staff. If ever in the area, this is a MUST TRY if you've never been. It will ruin any other sushi experience you've had because it is that good and guaranteed you will become a regular after your first try. A true hidden gem in the city of Riverside. read more

Best sushi spot hands down. Amazing attention to detail, warm, friendly service, and the inside of the restaurant is very nice. I find myself coming here instead of going to other sushi restaurants. This place beats out many sushi spots in LA and Orange County too. read more

First time here, and it was a wonderful experience to say the least! I loved the food and atmosphere! Such a great date spot where you can enjoy great food and service without the loud chaos from others. Love their premium sushi! My friend loved their Chirashi as well, I noticed most fishes I ordered are not available in other restaurants in the IE. Go and try their Golden Eye Snapper!! read more

This is premium Omakase sushi in IE! This is not an all you can eat place and it's definitely not the place you want to be if your looking for your typical American style sushi. If you are looking for an actual sushi experience like in LA, Beverly Hills this is definitely the spot! The food was beyond amazing and the quality is something you can actually taste. They do offer a La Carte Sushi and no imitation crab! Cindy our server provided a service that matched the restaurant, premium service and premium ingredients! She offered really great recommendations and we will be back to try other items she recommended! Definitely our next date night spot. read more
