The sushi was fresh and prices fair. No complaints from either of us. Perfect location from the hotels

I was really disappointed with my experience here. We arrived at 2:53 PM and were told to sit anywhere. No one came to take our order until 3:00 PM--which, conveniently, is when the lunch special ends. When I brought this up, I was told no, which felt unfair since the delay wasn't our fault. We ordered a dinner box with 3 fresh rolls and 3 baked rolls. The baked rolls came out fairly quickly, but we waited about 40 minutes for the dinner box. When I asked the waitress, she said "2 minutes." Five minutes later, I asked another waiter, and he said "5 minutes." In my family, we don't start eating until everyone has their food, so our baked rolls just sat there getting cold for about 20 minutes. I did bring up my concerns, but nothing was done to resolve the situation. At the very least, I expected some kind of gesture--maybe a small discount or even a complimentary dessert. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and I won't be coming back. read more

2026/02 Ok I HIGHLY recommend sushi for Vday. We wanted to steer away from the traditional steak and chicken and try something we know we love: we were not disappointed... no hassle.... No RSVP... we literally walked in at 5pm and sat down. Once we did it became busy. The rest. Was full. We ate good, had good conversation. KIRO made our rolls tonight and the did not disappoint. Shout out to the neighbor by us having me try the house sauce... highly recommend if you like it spicy. Oh man still very full and so happy. Thx Red salmon staff- Happy Vday! 2026/01 Best 1st date night of the year with my husband. Service was so great we sat at the bar got complimentary edamame. The sushi was so fresh it melted in my mouth I highly recommend the lollipop for a freshness of flavor. I come here so much. read more

The service was good, the wait for a table was not long, the drinks and food was served quickly. The soju cocktail was really good and enough for two people to share. I will be coming back and I recommend Red Salmon. read more

The baked salmon was awesome so satisfying. The customer experience was wonderful. Food was prepared on time. The atmosphere was on point.

My Sushi go to when I am in Lancaster. Service is great and the Sushi Chefs know how to make a roll. The fish is always fresh and the oysters are too. read more

This a cute little sushi joint. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and were able to choose where we wanted to sit. The food was really decent. The uni was really creamy and the taste was great. That was probably the star item for me. I ordered the chicken karaage for appetizer and it definitely was not what I expected lol. It was good, but it was more so like a giant basket of popcorn chicken and not the chicken karaage I'm used to at other sushi joints that's give me about 5-6 nice sized pieces on one plate. I ordered the scallop tempura roll and the dragon roll. My friend ordered the ono roll and the red dragon roll. The eel on the dragon roll was tasty. No complaints for the food other than how overwhelming the basket of chicken was. Ultimately, I give this place 3 stars because the service was lacking. Not very attentive and I've had to sit a while with an empty cup until my friend or myself stopped someone to help us. read more

I used love this place since they are sister sushi spots with goldfish (they even have the same menu) but this one has gone down in quality and portion sizes. read more

Glad a local recommended this place to us. Had ramen and sushi and udon and sashimi salad and lunch special. My daughter loved the salmon sushi and I particularly liked the miso broth of the ramen. read more

This was our second visit. The food was good both times. Service, on the other hand.... severely lacking. Horrible, actually. We had to call the wait staff over to give our drink order. About 20 minutes later we called them, again, to advise that we were ready to order! When the server finally made it over, didn't introduce herself, or apologize for not paying any attention. The owner/ manager needs to evaluate the competency of the servers read more

Moved here a little over a year ago and have tried to find good sushi to eat here in Palmdale. My husband and I decided to try out red salmon the sushi was delicious and reminded us of our favorite spot out in Encino and we were so happy to find a place close to home. The ambiance is great and for a Friday evening dinner we got seated pretty quickly and food was brought out quickly as well. Not pictured is the shrimp tempura which was perfectly cooked! Our server was great & attentive. Definitely returning back read more

This place does not serve a real temperature sauce. There house temperature sauce is the worst I have ever had. Will definitely not come back. read more

The food is generally good and service was good. Ambience not bad. What i was most disappointed with is that they are not using real wasabie but a cheaper replacement that includes food die. Many Japanese places have turned to this and it is disappointing. read more

The food was off the chain and creative. The Service wasn't too shabby either. Our weightier made sure we had extra ginger with our Sushi. I am definitely coming back here!! The environment and ambiance were pleasant as well. You can sit at your own table or grab a booth for your family. If you want a more personal experience with chefs then you can go that route as well. I was too busy munching to any pictures but here are some screen shots from some other people. read more

Red Salmon was good. Only been here once. Im a sushi snob but this wasnt bad for being out in Lancaster. The place was clean and welcoming. Staff was friendly. Attentive too. The food was on par. Crunch rolls was good. Basic crunch roll fare. California roll was good too. However it's not traditional. Where a little may is mixed in the imitation crab. This was a whole imitation crab stick. Not bad. Loaded baked mussels. Definitely yum. Get this if you go. Tasty and well dressed. Heart attack was good. ON par with other places. Good amount too. Ono and Albacore roll was better than I had anticipated. Lots of fried fresh onion on top. Delicious roll. Volcano toll was ehhh. Probably wont get it again. It was decent but lacked flavor. It was pretty plain tbh. read more

Stopped into Red Salmon while visiting Lancaster for a few days. It was the only restaurant within a close walking distance from our hotel, so we initially made the choice to stop in solely for convenience, but left satisfied and excited to have found a new spot we enjoyed! The rolls were tasty, a great size, not stuffed with rice, and priced fairly. We ended up ordering takeout from them one evening a few days later on our trip because we enjoyed their rolls. Definitely a solid spot for sushi. Red Salmon is located along a small strip of businesses in the parking lot of a hotel. There is plenty of free parking shared among the businesses for customers. Their inside space has several tables and a sushi bar for patrons to dine in. They seem like a popular local spot and were busy with customers on both occasions we stopped in. As noted above, our food was good. I especially enjoyed their Baked Salmon Roll and California Tempura Roll. The Baked Salmon Roll seemed to have a unique, perhaps, garlic tasting sauce that made Red Salmon's version of this roll standout among other places I've tried. Loved it! Red Salmon is our new spot when visiting Lancaster. Everything looked delicious that landed on our table and surrounding us. We're looking forward to coming back again the next time we're in town to try even more of their rolls. read more

This will be a little biased because I have a fav sushi spot that I didn't feel like driving across town for. The rolls tasted good, but were not rolled well, kept falling apart on me. They did great with the sauce, I feel like a lot of to go orders kind of skimp on that or think I don't notice but oh I do. Lastly, I asked for wasabi and ginger, and it was marked on my receipt, but there was no wasabi and ginger to be found, sad day for me. Also, ima need them to update their website. I'm like a 5 year old, I need pictures lol. Anyway, still good. read more

Just moved to the area recently, and I came here with my cousin and his god mother. The food was delicious! Best sushi I've had in a while. Our server was super kind, and she made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was very nice and entertaining. They played some good music, and I honestly wouldn't mind coming here again sometime soon! read more

Food was amazing. Service was very much improved from a few weeks ago when we were last here. And the ambiance was good. The music could be brought down a notch. Besides that it was perfect. read more

When we walked in, the first thing that hit us was the noise. It was so loud we had to yell across the table, and even then, our server couldn't hear us. Honestly, it sounded more like a Super Bowl party at a sports bar than a sushi restaurant. Right away, we noticed another odd thing: items listed on the menu weren't even on the order sheet. Our server had to scribble them down just to try and get them in. Then came the letdowns--one after another. Everything we ordered seemed to be "out." Every few minutes the server returned with yet another item they didn't have. By the time we pointed out how surprising (and frustrating) it was to have half our order unavailable, she basically stopped coming to the table altogether. At that point, it was obvious she was avoiding us. When food finally started to show up, we thought maybe things would turn around. We were so wrong. The halibut was rubbery--honestly, I didn't even know fish could be that hard to chew. The salmon collar somehow tasted completely burnt, even though it didn't look burnt at all. The tempura shrimp inside the rolls was old and stale, and the "crispy rice" was anything but--it was just stale rice. And to top it all off? When we asked to speak with a manager, we were told there wasn't one. No one in charge. No accountability. I've never had such a bad experience at a sushi restaurant. The noise, the service, the food quality--it all screamed of carelessness. Truly disappointing. Be better. read more

Decent sushi spot. The vibe is chill. They have tables and booth. Service is quick and friendly. Good spot to come with a group of friends.

I had the dinner box with sushi and tempura. Nothing bad to say. I ordered takeout, they called when it was ready, it was a much bigger portion than I expected, and it tasted good. Tempura was crispy, sushi was fresh. read more

Worst sushi in ALL of Southern California. They weren't really that busy for a Saturday night so we thought an hour and a half would be enough time to grab a few rolls before our movie. Nope not the case at all. We were sat with no menus and no tableware. At first we got 1 menu to share between 5 people. We had to ask for plates, chopsticks and napkins. The rolls took forever to come out. I could've driven to Big Tuna in Palmdale and gotten a roll before they got ours out to us. They came out all on the same plates. The rolls fell apart. They basically disintegrated when we tried to pick them up. The baked salmon was absolutely disgusting. It was just a warm cream cheese roll. The other rolls were mid and that's being nice. They offered to take off 1 roll. I didn't even care at that point. We got what was edible to go. Not even sure why, probably just because I paid for it and at $200+ for dinner it was a waste. We all left the restaurant hungry and ended up late for the movie. Never again. Don't waste your time or money. Walmart has better sushi rolls and you'll get better assistance. read more

My favorite rolls from this place are the Philly and the rattlesnake roll. When it's super packed they'll put you on the waitlist and text you when your table is ready, so it's easy to go check out the little boutique next door. The waiters are always great too. There's bar seating that's almost always taken, but I'm sure up there with the sushi chefs is a blast. read more

This place is getting worse. Ordered 5 rolls last night and dinner box. It took almost 2 hours. When we placed the order, we had some specifications and sure enough they never fail to disappoint. 1 of the sushi rolls was totally different. I called and no one answered. Called again and phone was now off the hook for it was a busy tone for 30mins. Called after they closed hoping someone would answer, still off the hook. I pay the amount they want therefore I expect my food to be what I paid for! Being busy is not an excise to fuck up one's order since we were willing to wait! read more

Excellent food great service. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. My wife doesn't even like sushi, but she wants to eat her now.

Good quality food, amazingly friendly staff, average pricing. Quiet, and just dark enough...

I'm never one to leave reviews but the service was horrible. We waited around 45 minutes and the sushi never came out people who arrived 20 minutes after us received theirs. Owner tried nothing to fix this issue. read more

Im going to rate this place a 2/5. The food is good but one of the waiters was rude and never helped us. I don't know if its because she believes "teens don't tip" but im all for tipping when the service is good. The guy in the sushi bar even told the people i needed helped and still didn't come to assist me. Crazy how it's came to this when my family would always go and enjoy ourselves. read more

Tried this spot today Phone service was slow but not a terrible item, busy happens Ordered vegetable chicken bowl If wasn't for the endless amount of onions there wouldn't have been any vegetables Sashimi was decent, salmon, yellow tail was ok. Interestingly the octopus smelled fishy A first for me. Expensive for the amount of food and taste Go elsewhere read more
