Simply the best sushi experience in the area hands down. Making a reservation is really a must here even on a weekday night as they have a lot of walk in business. This area of the mall has already some of fav food so this just adds to it This is like the very popular Sugar Fish style in OC. Basically your best bet is taking one of the omakase sets. I've been here three times now and I'll say while the food is consistent the service is not. Some of the servers can't explain the food like others do but this is a small issue that I hope they fix otherwise this is an amazing find in the wine country area that's use to rather generic sushi rolls with a ton of sauce to drown it in. This is nigiri to a very level and everything is worth trying read more

For the price expected cuts to be larger and sushi rice double the size. Miso soup no tofu and lower grade. Small menu font size hard to read. Set selections leave out fact only one sushi piece per described fish. No substitutions so mercury ladened tuna not consumed. Service was top notch. read more

What a hidden gem that I found ! Ok, if you understand what real sushi and Japanese food taste like, you will love this. However, if you are searching for the Americanize teriyaki , California rolls, and saucy spider rolls, this is not for you. This Japanese restaurant specializes in hand rolls, sushi and nigiri and they even make their own soy sauce and miso soup. It's for the people that loves and enjoy fresh clean sushi. We ordered the set that cost $55 that comes with all kind of nigiri's,sushi and hand rolls. It's absolutely delish and plated cleanly and up-class. I could taste the little details of stuff they added to the rice, the fish, the soy sauce and even the edamame. The edamame is not your typical sea salt , but it has salmon powder and it taste yuzu over it. This place brings in the Japanese culture with providing a wet towel for your hand before eating, Japanese miso soup with a lid and it reminds the time I'm in Japan. By eating their food, I can tell that the chef put love and effort on creating This menu and I really appreciate it. This is totally a vibe that you will want to bring you foodie friends and to impress the awesome Japanese food in Temecula. The toro..blue fin hand rolls..the maguru fuke(aged marinated tuna) , halibut, sea balls with a hint of yuzu on it..absolutely gorgeous. Services could be a bit better since we have to keep asking for water, ginger and soy sauce , but overall, they did their job and they are friendly . Really good Onori , really good. I'm impressed read more

Excellent foods and services Onori provided a good sushi bar experience!! They offers some combo set for sushi hand rolls!! I did ordering the 5 hand rolls on sushi bar!! Each roll was so greasy, tasty n delicious!! Plus the pricing was really fair n not too expensive .... Because I was so hungry, I ordered another Toro cut roll on the side. Toro meat was smashed inside the roll, tasted like butter!! There are several menu including tasting menu, Al la carte items and some set menu!! Providing all kinds of customers, I will definitely recommend this sushi bar!! Nice n grooming by those Japanese ladies sushi chefs!! read more

Finally went to Onori as it was very busy since they opened. I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I wasn't thoroughly impressed. The service was good, but the food was average. The restaurant smelled very fishy, which yes, it is a sushi spot, but as someone who goes to many sushi restaurants, this was an unpleasant fishy smell. The location definitely looks nice and was very clean, but it felt like an overly modern design that didn't feel authentic. I think Onori is a niche sushi spot for a certain type of customer who enjoyed that esthetic. Nothing against them, just not for me. read more

First time here, hubby and I just ordered the hand rolls and they didn't disappoint. I ordered the 5 piece hand roll for $26 and he got the 6 piece one for $30. Honestly I think they're well priced. I always love the crispiness of the seaweed wrapper with freshly wrapped hand rolls :) Excellent service!!! Friendly and attentive! Lots of parking, next to Somisomi. read more

I'm shocked I haven't stopped by to try this place before. Hands down best sushi I've had in the past year and unbeatable prices. Parking is plentiful right in front and being seated was a breeze especially before dinner time. When seated, we were served water immediately. The server asked if we intended to drink anything more. We then ordered three large Sapporo beers. We ordered salmon sashimi to start. Then, my fiancé and I ended up ordering the Taste of Onori Menu to share. For $55, we received about 14 items, omokase style: Edamame & Miso Soup Tuna Sashimi (so good as a starter) Albacore Sushi (1 piece) Seared Black Cod Sushi (1 piece) Shima Aji Sushi (1 piece) King Salmon Sushi (1 piece) Toro Handroll Sea bream Sushi (my favorite piece) Halibut Sushi (1 piece) Japanese Yellowtail (1 piece) Hokkaido Scallop (1 piece) Kinme-Dai Sushi (1 piece) Ottoro/Chu-toro (1 piece - phenomenal) Salmon Handroll We weren't full after our shared meal, so we ordered a salmon cut roll. It was one of the best cut rolls I've had and it only had salmon, rice, and seaweed. Food here is magnificent. The servers are quick to take plates away and give more water, if needed. The interior is also very zen and relaxing. It's a beautiful restaurant with fantastic sushi. Again, it was truly amazing sushi and sashimi. I'm delighted to come back again when I have a craving. Truly well done!! read more

I've had sushi in this area before but nothing tasted quite as good as this. Me and my husband stopped here on a whim after doing some shopping and boy are we glad we did so! It was not too long of a wait at all and a great stop overall for us. Every roll was DELICIOUS. Not only was every single thing good that we tried, but there was a more plentiful amount of fish and nori seaweed sheet than I expected in each hand roll. It made the price worth it for me. The spicy tuna lingered on my tongue in the best way possible and was a sensation of good flavor. The Toro was one of my favorite hand rolls too but the salmon and yellowtail were gooood too! Seriously everything we had was delicious! I also really liked the edamame as an appetizer and palette cleanser. Only $3 and very worth it. The salt on the edamame was super flavorful, like a yuzu salt or something. It was delicious. Staff was also attentive. Moki double checked my order and continued to refill my water the whole time we were there. She was super nice and I'm so glad she was helping to serve us because she made our experience extra special. The vibe here is nice and relaxed. The lounge-like music and chill atmosphere really made it a perfect stop for us when we just wanted to enjoy something good to eat together. read more

after moving out of OC to temecula, one of the things i knew i'd miss most was the fooood. ROL was one of my favorites in oc... but thats changed after finding this gem right next to somi somi. dare i say.. its even better & less expensive compare to ROL. top quality sushi, service, and so worth it. i've been lucky every time i drop in with no waits (the line usually comes in after ). they have bar seatings and table seatings. although there is a menu (hand roll set) thats not available at the table & only bar. the servers are really attentive, always checking up on us & making sure we're goood. i've taken most of my friends from OC to here & they love it as much as i do that every time they visit, we're heading here for dinner! i love their taste menu. for the amount of food & what you pay? sooo worth it. i usually get the little onori ($28) or the onori signature set ($40) and my boyfriend always gets the taste of onori set ($55). they have hand roll sets at the bar for (3/$16, 4/$21, 5/$26, 6/$30), they are sets & cannot sub out /change which is just a tiny bit disappointing. other then that, everything is perfect. the quality is always fresh. my top favorite here would be the seared black cod. ITS SO GOOD. the hand rolls are fat & their fish to rice ratio is perfect. if you're looking for good quality sushi + superb service, put onori on your list to try! you will not be disappointed :) read more

Tonight was great. We selected our favorites. Sea Bream, Seared Black Cod sushi. Hand rolls- Spicy scallop, soft shell crab and spicy tuna. The nori is crisp and delicious because the rolls are quickly made & served. There's not a lot of fillers in Onori rolls - just perfect rice and fresh fish. On a Saturday at 5pm, very busy & we chose a table over the bar. Service was a little slow because they were full, every seat. We ordered sake & Sapporo & had no problem because their food is worth the wait. Our server took good care of us. Our rolls & sushi were perfect. read more

Ever since it opened, we've already been back multiple times because the food is that good. I've honestly never had hand rolls like these before, they're even better than most regular sushi restaurants. We've tried the shrimp tempura hand roll, blue crab hand roll, and toro hand roll, and every single one was delicious. Their cucumber salad is fresh and flavorful, and the salmon sashimi is a must-have every visit. The restaurant itself is clean, well put together, service is great at the bar and has a nice casual, cozy vibe. read more

Ever since it's been opened, I got at least once a month! Been wanting an omakase style restaurant in town and happy there finally is one. The quality of the food, service, and ambiance at this place is amazing. Any chance I've gotten, I take people here to eat at. They end up loving it as well! Whenever I go I always get an order of their crispy rice. It's so cute and the crunch of the crispy rice with the freshness of the tuna always hits the spot. Depending how I feel that day, I usually do their omakase sets. The one pictured in the to-go is their Onori signature set. Not picture is the miso soup it also comes with as well. If you wanna get full and worth the money. I say get the omakase set and one of their appetizers. It always fills me up and leaving happy (whether dine in or Togo)! It's in a lot connected to the mall. There is plenty of parking! There is also a somi somi next door for dessert heh. read more

For the price you pay, the quality isnt bad. It was surprisingly good. My boyfriend and I decided to go try the handrolls but ended up doing the omakase. We sat at the counter but looks like they don't exactly have sushi chefs manning the counter. There was someone making hand rolls for the whole counter (though it wasn't exactly fully) and then another chef doing the nigiri. The service for counter seating is the same for table. You don't get the nigiri one at a time and it makes sense since there's no sushi chef at the counter. They serve it to you multiple pieces at a time. Some fish quality was better than others in terms of texture or taste/flavor. For the price I'm not surprised but it wasn't terrible. Would recommend if you want a cheap omakase. Would come by to try the handrolls if I'm ever back in the area! read more

My new favorite sushi spot! So fresh here. Their hand rolls are absolutely amazing! You can even order cut rolls to go as well! Heads up, you can't order hand rolls to go since they believe in the quality, and it would be soggy by the time you are home. If you are into all the added toppings other sushi places have, this isn't your place. I personally love just fresh fish and rice so this is perfect! I also appreciated they had gluten free soy sauce, you just need to ask your server. I love the salmon sushi, spicy tuna hand roll and the blue crab hand roll. Their miso soup is so good too! It can get very crowded during dinner time on the weekends. But during the week is usually great and you can get seated right away. There's bar seating and some tables in the back. Plenty of parking too! Overall their sushi is a must try! read more

By far the best sushi in town! My friend and I stopped by last week. We were seated as soon as we arrived on Friday at around 1pm and we ordered their specials. She had the Onori Signature Set Menu and I had the Little Onori. The food came out and I was very impressed with the selection. The food was delicious and perfectly timed. I really liked the Tuna Sashimi and the Seabream Sushi. The servers were attentive and explained each item as it came out. Highly recommend because of the food quality, clean environment and welcoming staff! read more

This is one of my dad's fav places. He's been praising the owner and his food for years back at his previous restaurant. I've only eaten Chris's food 2 or 3 times compared to my dad's hundreds, but each of my experiences has been positive and delicious. My dad and I got the Taste of Onori and my mom got the smaller $40 version. Both were phenomenal and a great variety. I ordered some extra handrolls and wagyu nigiri since I'm a glutton. All the sushi was amazing. If there's any minor criticism it's the restaurant is elevated past its appetizers. The miso, sunomono, and gyoza get outclassed by the rest quite starkly. They're perfectly fine for a standard casual Japanese place, but for an elevated tasting menu vibe, they are a bit lacking compared to apps at other Japanese places of this tier. Overall was a great first impression. I live out of state but will return whenever I'm back in Cali. read more

Oh man this place is AMAZING! I have not had sushi or hand rolls as good anywhere (even Japan!). We live nearby and have been wanting to stop by, esp with the great reviews. We thought it would be more of a fast food/grab and go type place but there is restaurant seating at the bar, or at the back of the restaurant. Beautiful and clean. We sat at a table in the back and were given waters right away, and she took our drink order. We opted for one of the pre set meals, for $40. Great mix of appetizers and main courses. Small portions but made so pretty and fresh. I also ordered a spicy blue crab hand roll and the spicy tuna crispy rice. I think prices are very reasonable, but the hand roll portions are smaller than other places. The quality though of the rice, the seaweed, the ingredients - makes a huge difference in taste and we were loving it all! Sushi was divine, the most fresh and flavorful fish we have had in a long time. I would probably sit at the sushi bar next time to check the vibe there and just order a bunch of hand rolls! Do yourself a favor and check out this restaurant ASAP! read more

This definitely has to be one of the freshest variety of fish I've had and was definitely worth the trek. My sis and I got here right when it opened and glad we did. After maybe 10 minutes of being seated, there was already a line out the door. That's a good indicator that place is well liked and delicious. I had the crispy spicy tuna, halibut/hokkaido scallops/salmon nigiri and the soft shell crab roll. Everything was DELICIOUS. Loved the minimal decor and the attentive staff. We didn't have to wait too long for anything. If you're in the Temecula area and want to grab some fresh sushi, this is the spot. read more

Drove out from south SD to spend our first wedding anniversary eating delicious hand rolls here at Onori, and oh boy was it worth that trip! My wife and I love to try out the hottest/newest spots offering fresh Japanese fish, sushi, poke, omakase all over San Diego, and we were stoked about a new hand roll spot not as far as LA. Onori is still new but we were impressed. There was a short line inside but reminiscent of most restaurants in Japan, most people seem to stop in to eat, be served quickly, and then leave, so the wait was less than 10 minutes. Love the vibe of the inside with the sushi bar right when you walk in (recommend sitting here if you're getting hand rolls to guarantee peak freshness) and a quaint and modernly furnished back room with more tables good for families or more intimate dates. Food was amazing for the price. My favorite items tonight were the albacore, toro, and the spicy soft shell crab hand roll. Fish portions were great and the soft shell crab hand roll really amazed me. One of the smaller and cheaper omakase menus that you will find, which is great because that leaves room to try other items. Service was excellent. Food and bill came out quickly upon request and servers were kind. Already telling my friends about this place via word of mouth so definitely wanted to write a review as well! read more

Best sushi in Temecula. Love sitting at the bar for the pre-set omikase menu. The hand rolls are fantastic and fresh, but haven't found a thing on the menu I haven't loved. They're very sweet too! read more

My wife and I went to Onori for the first time today. I like sushi a lot, but honestly I generally can't tell the sushi from one restaurant to another. About the only difference I notice is if they use plain white rice, or the more flavorful vinegar rice. I like grocery store sushi pretty much as well as most restaurants'. Onori is different. You get a very large slice of fish on a smaller than usual portion of vinegar rice. I'd say about half the rice and close to twice the fish and it's the best sushi I've ever had. Even the gyoza tastes better. The Lobster roll was also different and delicious. Now I know what quality sushi tastes like. The staff is all very friendly and helpful. Our waitress, Lisa, was eager to share her opinions on the different items. They do not offer any noodle dishes if that's what you are in the mood for. The restaurant is larger than it appears from outside and is well lit and clean. I recommend Onori if you are in the mood for sushi. read more

I've probably been here a dozen times or so in the last six months. By the time you read this, it's likely I'll have been back more. Onori specializes in simple sushi that highlights the quality of the ingredients. I normally gravitate towards nigiri and sashimi, but their hand-rolls won me over - the mix of temp and texture of the fish, rice, and nori really adds to the flavor of the fish (which has always been fresh in my many visits). It's quickly become my favorite restaurant in town. This is a small restaurant, and we prefer sitting at the bar. It isn't a great place for large groups or a long, leisurely dinner. (IMO, sushi as a cuisine doesn't work well in those settings), but for a date night, or a treat-yourself lunch, it really cannot be beat. read more

We came in to celebrate my daughters birthday, this is her favorite place to eat hand rolls. I tried the hakkaisan sake this time it was pretty tasty and complimented my hand rolls well. We sat at the bar and ordered spicy yellow tail, Spicy salmon and lobster hand roll as well as tuna sashimi and goyoza. The rolls were fantastic as usual. I wish they would just make the whole restaurant bar style so we don't have to wait so long for a seat at the bar. The bar is the only place you can order hand rolls. We have tried the other rolls offered here but much prefer the hand rolls. read more

Instantly the best sushi I've had in San Diego/Temecula. What a banger holy crap. When you walk in there's a big beautiful bar that wraps around, definitely sit there so you get to watch everything being made. The lights are a little dim and the decor is so clean and inviting. The service throughout the night was great, everyone who helped us was kind and respectful. Definitely focused on bringing you your items quickly and efficiently. Okay now the food. The quality was unreal and tasted like it to match. The fish was clean, no fishy taste, and melted in your mouth. We got a bit carried away and ordered the spicy tuna crispy rice, tons of handrolls and nigiri. The blue crab and toro were my favorite handrolls but the black cod and aji nigiri??? What??? Insanity. The otoro is a must get. Straight butter just melting in your mouth. I didn't take a photo of everything because we devoured it all. This place just opened a month ago and we are going to be back, many times. We highly recommend you do too. Also, SomiSomi is opening next door so dinner and dessert got you covered. read more

Just pick up and put it in your mouth and melt in the moment of flavor melting in your mouth. read more

Onori Hand Roll Bar - My empty plate. It was so good, I forgot about pictures until after I was done. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Temecula, California

My Mom and I came in on Tuesday around 1 pm for lunch. She's Japanese, and from the moment we both walked in, we were impressed by the sophisticated and understated decor of the restaurant and the clean lines of the beautiful sushi bar. The space is elegant and it is clear that care was taken with the design. We both ordered the "Little Onori" set menu for $28. This was such a fantastic offering and it was delightful to have a meal like this in Temecula! Up until now, there were no other "authentic" sushi places like this unless you drive to San Diego, the OC, or LA. The edamame and Miso soup were a pleasant way to start the meal. We both particularity enjoyed the Black Cod, Sea Bream, and Hokkaido Scallop. So much so that we ordered an extra piece each of the Black Cod and the Sea Bream. Yukiko San provided kind and attentive service and she enhanced the dining experience for us. We will most certainly be back and we are so happy that Onori is here! Here's to many fruitful and successful years in business! read more
