I'll definitely be a regular here." read more

Oishii Sushi - Great taste and freshly cut! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

I love trying new places and hoping they live up to the hype and this one definitely did! I checked the reviews beforehand and saw far more positive comments than negative ones, so I decided to give it a shot. When we arrived, it was packed and we were told there would be about a 20 minute wait after signing in, which we were fine with. Surprisingly, we were seated within about 5 minutes. Our waiter was amazing very attentive and on top of everything. The food came out in stages, which was actually great because it gave us time to enjoy one roll before the next arrived and kept the table from feeling crowded. The ambiance was perfect as well. This is definitely a new favorite! read more

Disappointed! They have changed hands and what we have ordered before is 1/2 of what we received . Plus , they have increased their prices . We picked up our order tonight , which was a teriyaki chicken bento box . There was no teriyaki on the chicken , no salad dressing on the salad and the quantity was half of what it used to be. They did however , say they would refund me when I called them . Or make another small bento box . So they were accommodating. Still disappointed . read more

***2nd update!!! This is the third year of recreating our first date dinner at this wonderful establishment Grateful for the incredible sushi and even more so for the warmth and joy that Stacy brings every time we walk through the door. This year, we were lucky enough to share the love with our in-laws, and Stacy made them feel just as special with her kindness and generosity. From shots to dessert, her hospitality truly makes every moment unforgettable. Here's to tradition, amazing food, and the people who make it all even sweeter! read more

I had to come back--and honestly, it was just as good if not better the second time. I kept thinking about the food after my first visit, and it definitely lived up to the memory. The sushi is incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and I can tell the chefs really care about what they're putting out. Every bite felt intentional and high quality. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the people. The staff is so warm and welcoming, and there's a genuine atmosphere here that's hard to find. I felt taken care of without it ever feeling forced. I'm really glad I came back, and I already know this is going to be one of my regular spots. read more

Great service! Kid friendly. Abundant menu and they offer AYCE! It can be a bit noisy during peak times. Excellent drink specials!

If you're looking for variety in Riverside, this is the place. We tried everything from the basic salmon and tuna to some of the more elaborate baked rolls. Everything tasted fresh and the service was attentive they kept the water filled and the next rounds of orders coming out at a good pace. The appetizers (especially the gyoza and tempura) were hot and crispy. Great value for the price! read more

We use to come here a lot when I lived nearby. It had been a few years since I had been here so decided to stop by for AYCE lunch. The staff were as friendly as I remember. The ambiance is a casual vibe. The stuff I got was pretty good. Im not a sashimi person so I can't speak to the super freshness of it all, but they have good spicy tuna, if that helps. Something new to me is a 15% service fee they added to the bill. I dont remember seing that advertised on the menu so it seemed shady to me. It could be in small print somewhere, but I didnt see it. I hope that service fee goes to the servers since we only left a couple extra bucks to get to 20% tip. If not, then that really sucks for them because I feel it will affect their tips. read more

Oishii Sushi - Ikura so fresh - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

My view of this place keeps diminishing every time I visit. The first time the service was great, the food was delicious and I had a good time. the 2nd time I visited, the food was decent and service was fine, but the bill was for some reason more expensive. The third time was not the worst. Server was rude, food was bland, and then I noticed they had included a service fee of 15% on my individual bill! I see that they state they add gratuity for a large group, but for an individual bill, they add a service charge too? It looks like they want customers to double tip them by adding that service charge and also a tip line along with the bill. Done with this place. Definitely not Oishii. read more

We LOVE coming to Oishii!! It is one of our first sushi places that we tried and we love to come back here. The vibes inside are always so great! They have some cool, colorful lighting, and they also have music playing -- which makes it a really great spot to hang out with friends, family, or a partner. The service is usually pretty decent as well. This place can get pretty packed on the weekends, but they do their best to get everyone seated in a timely matter! The restaurant was almost full when we went and we were only waiting for about 10 minutes or so. We typically don't have any complaints because the food is always SO flavorful. However, we weren't too impressed with the spicy garlic edamame because it had too much garlic for our liking. Also, although the rolls were great, we noticed that they would fall apart when we picked them up and/or dipped them in sauces (which made it kind of messy). This is really the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, I think it's still a great place and recommend it for anyone looking to try! read more

Oishii Sushi - Sapporo roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

The place located in quite 'dim' establishment. At the front, it has mentioned all you can eat. For dinner (weekday) we get charged $35, 15% gratuity will be included. Unlike other AYCE, this place is different as they serve full portion each order, while other place will only serve you half portion to give you more chance to experience other menu. The baked sushi has too much mayo till you cannot taste a proper sushi. Aside from the portion, they are generous when we order lobster sushi and scallops, it's all over the sushi abundantly. Server was attentive, we were offered pickled ginger when it was about to finish. Assuming this is a family business everyone work in harmony to make customers leave happy. The place inside is quite cozy and very zen. We'll come back next time for ala carte for sure. read more

I have been coming to this location on and off for about a dozen years. The atmosphere is always nice and welcoming and the floor plan is open and well lit. Staff are sweet. The other day my family came here for dinner to enjoy the AYCE experience. I currently have 4 kids under 10 years old and this was going to be their first time trying rolls outside of the normal California, Crunchy shrimp, etc. as they had expressed an interest. Lucky for us this spot offers a $20 AYCE price for the kids - a lot of place don't do differing prices for kids/Adults. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive and engaged with speaking with our kids and asking what they liked. She kept my husband soda refilled without prompting. The sushi rolls were very good, and our kids experienced eel and spicy tuna and the various sauces/styles. We will continue to frequent this spot for as long as they are here read more

This spot has fallen off hard. I used to pick up orders here and it was fine, nothing special, but at least edible. Today? I came during jury duty lunch thinking I'd treat myself. I should've just eaten the courthouse vending machine snacks instead. I did AYCE and honestly... for what?? The sushi rice was rock hard like they cooked it yesterday and prayed no one would notice. Zero flavor. Tasted like the clearance sushi you get at a sad grocery store at 9PM. And the baked green mussels?? They didn't even TRY. It was literally just torched, reheated, naked mussels. No sauce. No toppings. No effort. And THEN... the audacity... the 15% service fee. For WHAT service? For traumatizing my taste buds?? For making me waste my lunch break AND calories?? Be serious. Yeah, no. Never coming back. Not recommending it. read more

Oishii Sushi - 113. Salmon Teriyaki Bento - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

My favorite sushi place in all of Riverside! The food is always good no matter what you order. You don't have to wait long for a food to arrive. It's really great as you rarely have to wait to be seated and your server is at your table within minutes. Unlike some places that make you wait 10 minutes before you see someone. The ambience is really great very casual. Lots of decorations. Music is not too loud. You can have a conversation. All you can eat is reasonably priced as is all the items on the menu. So if you're tired of the bad service at R 91 come here and get treated right ! read more

I came in with a group of people and Oishii Sushi knows how to take care of a crowd. Their staff was accommodating, quick, and kind. The baked sushi rolls were pretty large too. My only "complaint" was that our hot tea was more lukewarm than steamy. Overall, I'd come again just for the service and quick bite. read more

Second review I first reviewed this location 2 years ago, and this was a repeat visit. Like last time, a very typical sushi AYCE location here in Riverside. A moderate selection of fresh sushi (nigiri) and a selection of fresh and prepared rolls. The fish to rice quality was outstanding, especially round one. The first was fresh, and was distinctive from the other fish on the plate. The yellowtail (limit 2 orders, 4 pieces) was exceptionally tasty. Could use a few more regular sushi options, but most of the quality options were there. The gyoza was quite tasty as well for a nice appetizer. The pieces were larger than expected. The miso soup was very hot, too hot for about 10minutes. The service was great... fast refills, and the sushi came out within about 5min of putting in the order. The attentiveness made me feel valued as a customer. The location itself was on the older side, with a slightly complicated design. The sushi bar was completely open, and the sushi chefs happy to talk to you about options. The restroom floors were sticky and needed attention. Overall the lunch price (27.99 for AYCE) pushes this location into the five star area. Short of some limited options, and a dirty floor in the restroom, I was impressed by my visit. 5/5 read more

Wow wow wow!! This is quickly becoming a favorite go-to for AYCE sushi!! Everything we've ordered is delicious & you basically cannot go wrong. Love their self ordering system, helpful & allows you to order with ease. The dinning room is open & welcoming. Staff are great. We have not had a bad dish/ dinning experience yet & we've been quite a few times Highly recommend as a permanent place to frequent when the hankering for sush kicks in! read more

Felt like an updated review is in need. I don't understand why this place doesn't have a higher rating! The food is sooooo good and you can tell they use quality items and the fish is super fresh! The salmon melts like butter, I could eat it everyday if I had the funds to do so haha. Monday thru Friday from open until 3pm, they currently are offering a Happy Hour promo special on AYCE for $27.99! I haven't found anything I don't like, but still have to get the Hector roll every time. (Another honorable mention was the Timon!) Another plus that I personally love... whoever is in charge of the aux cable and playing their Playlist: kudos! I get to enjoy listening to Panic! At the Disco, My Chemical Romance, All Time Low, etc. My emo heart is happy I will most definitely be back many times! read more

Service was excellent. We were allowed to pick our table but then the server was looking out for us when she suggested a better booth across the room, and it was better. The hot tea came in a little pot and was soothing and the cold iced tea was good. We did NOT get AYCE All You Can Eat, but we could see the folks next to us did. At the end they got to take a hot roll home to go. We ate the Super Oishii Roll and the Mexican Roll. The Super came with flavorful eel sauce, wasabi and fresh ginger. The other one had a nice hot button of mayo and chili sauce on top. Everything was delicious! The rewards card and friendly parting greetings by the chef and two servers was a nice touch. We'll be back! read more

We stumbled on this little hidden gem while trying to get our workout on at Chuze next door but the gym is "coming soon" it's not open yet, so we decided to eat instead lol It's a cute little spot. Small but cozy, clean and has all the features a sushi spot needs. I love being able to sit at the sushi bar to watch the sushi being made. We sat at a table but they do have a sushi counter area. They greeted us as soon as we arrived. Super friendly, we noticed they greeted every single person that goes in the establishment. We went in on a Friday a little after noontime and the waitress let us know they were having happy hour. We decided to do the ayce (all you can eat). We started with the appetizers soups, salads and edamame. For small plates they had big flavor, yum. Then we moved on to the baked rolls. Yum, yum yum!!! The first two that came to our table were the lobster roll and scallop roll. Please note the first round of rolls are whole rolls so 8 pieces. Round two you are able to order half rolls. We ordered about four baked rolls our first round then next round we ordered cold rolls and ordered half rolls to be able to taste different ones before getting too full. I love sushi and have been to a lot of ayce's I will say this place moved to my favs list. The food was amazing and the price was so affordable. For the price I was skeptical of the quality but this place is just a win, win! Great price, the food is the bomb, the place is cute, clean and they top it off with great service. I will be back! read more

I used to frequent Oishii many moons ago for celebrations, sake bombs, and AYCE. I haven't had them in a while and ordered a bento box for the first time. It was huge for $15.95, which included chicken teriyaki, 4 piece tempura, 4 CA rolls, steamed rice, ponzu, and salad with that delicious ginger dressing. It was a huge value and you can easily get 2 meals from this portion. read more
