Love Love Love RIYOMA! Moved back from Austin TX and found this place. Always the freshest fish and wonderful service. Try the lobster roll although everything is good here! read more

Riyoma is by far the best sushi restaurant in east El Paso. I've tried several and while tasty, nothing has had the freshness and creativity that Riyona provides. I would recommend sitting at the sushi bar. We've gotten to know KC, the sushi chef, and don't even bother with a menu. Below are some of the items he created based on our pallets. That's the best part and what sets Riyoma apart from others with it's more traditional sushi bar service. It's a staple in our meals out. read more

A very nice authentic feel to the restaurant. The sushi was very good although I'm not a big fan on wasabi on the Nigiri. Hand roll was really good. The price was slightly more compared to others. read more

Riyoma - Special: 9 Nigiri 1 hand roll - $25 - Japanese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Whoever the waitress is that worked tonight should be FIRED. I come to Riyoma every other week with my kids. We always sit in the back corner room. When the waitress finally greeted us, I told her that I wanted our usual spot and she gave me a hesitant look like she was about to say no. I told her that we sit there all the time so she finally said ok. I ordered immediately because the kids were starving. Chicken katsu, tonkatsu, su udon and a volcano roll. I'd say everything except for the volcano roll came out in a reasonable time. She didn't bring any napkins, so I had to ask. The kids ate all their food while I waited for my roll. No refill on the water until I asked. It took 55 minutes for them to bring my volcano roll. After which my kids were already done eating so they got to sit and watch me eat. Again, asked for napkins and she finally brought them out after my kids were done with dinner. I even had to ask for ginger, wasabi and soy sauce for my roll before she brought it out. Prices went up on the menu. They were already expensive before, now they're just ridiculous. Overall she didn't have a completely bad attitude but she didn't have a pleasant one either. She even charged me a tip on my receipt for when no one else's receipt had a pre charged tip (saw it at the register) Granted, I probably would have left her a $10 tip anyways but I hate that it was pre charged on my receipt like that. They completely lost me as a customer tonight. read more

This place is good. Server was quick and nice. Got the appetizer of steamed dumplings and they were so delightful. Ordered four rolls: rainbow, dragon, California, and caterpillar. Each one was better than the last. If you want miso soup, be sure to order it because it comes separately. Otherwise- this is a home run. read more

This authentic Japanese style restaurant is the best!! I LOVE sushi & this place has the hookups lol The cook was super nice & was inquisitive on our experience. To me that shows he cares about the quality of his food. The server knows her stuff!! We just told her what we felt like eating & she delivered!! It can be a bit expensive but well worth it! read more

First of all, there is only one chef and one waitress. After ordering our food, it took almost 40minutes for our sushi to be ready! If the food was above average, I would have not left any review and would probably come back. But the food was mediocore and the portion was super small. I am not done! Getting the attention of waitress was so difficult!!!!! The waitress didnt check on our table even a single time while eating. In fact, one food came out wrong but we just ate because no one even bothered to stop by. Not coming back.! read more

Coming by really good sushi can be a bit of a task when in El Paso. But fear not, your search for an amazing and high quality sushi has come to an end! I was so excited to have discovered this place. The simple decor and the japanese style inspired walls gave the restaurant a very authentic feel. The agedashi tofu was amazing. it was fried perfectly and the seasoned soy sauced balanced the dish. The Crown Roll was amazing. Each bite was full of flavor and had a crispy crucnh to every bite. The sashimi was well worth it. Each bite was full of delight. You can tell that the fish is fresh and high in quality. The only downside about the establisment was the servers. They kind of seemed loss. However, the restaurant may have cut back on servers and had family or family friends hired to help out with the restaurant due to COVID19, so it was not a big deal and totally understandable. I would definitely recommend all sushi lovers to come here! read more

Most authentic Japanese food in El Paso! The lunch options are very good! The fish is very fresh!

This was our first time here, and it was not very pleasant. I can assure you, we will not be returning. We were seated right away but the service was terrible it took 45 minutes to get two rolls my fiancé had already had his noodles and finished them by the time the rolls were brought out. Service was absolutely terrible, our waitress never checked on us, even when our drinks were completely empty. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Slow service. Price and portions are ok. But expect a long wait. There was only 2 other groups before us (2 ppl and 6 ppl groups) who were already eating their appetizer when we were seated. Took another 40 minutes before we got our first plate. Maybe i was unlucky, but not a good impression. read more

A piece of steel wool was found in their udon. Of course I could not finish the noddle- but no one came to me to apologize. So disgusting. Sushi is okay but not high quality. Pretty expensive. read more

This quaint, very clean restaurant served nothing but quality tasty food. I ordered appetizer, main dish and dessert which was all reasonably priced and well worth it. Even though it was packed during lunch hour which included regulars (hearing chef and waitress converse with them) and professionally dressed customers I did not feel underdressed or uncomfortable in my shorts and flip flops. This would be a great place for dates or bringing family and friends to. There are 2 tv's on the wall so if you are sitting at the sushi bar so ou can catch up on sports or news. Bathroom was clean and temperature was comfortable. They also have dining rooms to traditionally sit on pillows. I choose to sit at sushi bar. I'm definitely coming back. read more

I love this place and I would definitely be come back here. The service was great and the food was fresh and tasted fresh. I ordered the udon soup and a spicy tuna roll while my husband ordered some tuna and tako nigiri and a steak that was cooked to perfection. We were very pleased. read more

This place is awesome. We've been there twice in the past two weeks, and can't wait to go back again! First of all, the atmosphere is very calm. The decor is understated, but orderly, and there are actually multiple rooms. (I think the low tables in the other rooms are for large parties. We've only eaten in the main room.) There are many tables, and also seating at the sushi bar. You have your choice. We've always gone early in the dinner hours, and we are always seated immediately. Service is very quick and friendly. The sushi at Riyoma is amazing. We particularly love the Yellowtail and Red Snapper. The consistency is outstanding, and the fish is very high quality. It's all delicious. We love the rolls, too. Last time, we tried the caterpillar roll and the tropical roll. Both were outstanding. As far as artful presentation, the caterpillar roll is top notch. It tastes just as good as it looks, too. Great care is taken in preparing every type of sushi served. No detail is overlooked, and the result is amazing. Last time, we also ordered some noodle dishes, thinking it would help hold our kids over until the sushi got there. These were also delicious, and the portions are huge! We could definitely have ordered just one for our family of four. I think this place is good for many different types of customer. I know it's good for families. Where we go, our kids go, and they love Riyoma just as much as we do. My kids love the cucumber rolls, california rolls, and maki rolls. They have been willing to try everything we've ordered, including raw stuff. There may not be a kids' menu, but who needs that? There are plenty of dishes there that are suitable for kids and adults alike. All around, I have to say this place is great. read more

I've been trying a variety of different sushi joints since moving to El Paso in 2010 but ever since I found Riyomas in 2011, I have never been more satisfied. I love it because it's the food is classic!! I cannot get enough of the deluxe sashimi platter and their Udon always leaves me stuffed!! The atmosphere, calming. The food always tastes amazing and the service is wonderful. They always great you with a warm hello and smile whenever you walk through the door. Number one in El Paso!! read more

Riyoma is perhaps my favorite sushi restaurant in El Paso. The understated elegance of the decor is well matched by the courteous staff. Neither is out of place, but neither try to take attention away from the food. The sushi is excellent. It always smells appetizing, it always has the right texture, and the flavor is wonderful. The miso is light and tasty, and the green tea strikes the right accent. You can find the popular choices here, such as the california roll and the rainbow roll, but the depth of the menu offers much more than that. I've only had sushi here, but I have seen other entrees waft past me to the appreciative noises of their intended recipients. read more

The atmosphere is fantastic and the hostess is very considerate of everyone's palates. What's great is that the beer is served in a chilled glass. The food is very traditional and there are options that aren't easily found in other parts of the city like natto or ika read more

Good staff good food clean place. The sushi are great. Try the tekadon. I go here almost every week. And it never disappoints me. read more

Riyoma - Japanese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Found this little gem serving authentic Japanese food. Even my Japanese friend loves the Japanese dishes here. I had a Gyu Don while my friend had a Katsu Don, and we shared a deluxe sushi set. The Gyu Don tasted great though the beef could be a little more tender. The Katsu Don was delicious, according to Japanese standard. The deluxe nigiri Sushi set included expensive Otoro (fatty tuna), besides the usual Maguro (tuna), Salmon ("Sake") and Snapper ("Tai"). I will definitely visit this place again during my next work trip. Oyishi Des! read more

Visited on 5/7 Tue at 9pm.. Barely made it to finish before they close sharply at 10pm. Tried the Sashimi chef selection, it was great ! (Except for the octopus, which I don't care much for in its raw state). Overall a good experience for a fair price. read more

Very disappointed with the service here. It took over 30 min just to receive our food. We had to flag down the server to receive service. They even forgot to give us the condiments we requested. Don't think I will return. read more

By far, the best Japanese restaurant in El Paso. No doubt about it. The sushi rolls are tasty, creative and with an excellent presentation. The entire restaurant is sparkling clean. And you can enjoy your meals in an authentic horigotatsu seating and/or in a private room. My daughter and I can't wait to be back. read more

Tiny portions for $$ Awkward, loud conversation between chef and other customer for the entire duration of our meal. Our waitress was very attentive, though read more

I had never been to this restaurant so I was excited as I had heard great things about it. First of all, the waitress we had was exceptionally attentive and very nice. But, the sushi selection was expensive for the portion and quality. We each ordered the ginger beef and pork and were not fans. My meat was very dry and definitely not worth the $15-17. The sushi was tasty but definitely over priced. We also ordered a side of Gyoza (dumplings) and they were very tasty. Overall the experience was nice but we both agreed to stick to sushi next time and skip any meat entrees. I personally would not come here on my own volition as I have had tastier and less pricey sushi at other restaurants. read more

It's located in a strip mall, sort of unassuming! The food was very good! They offered soy paper, which I prefer! They didn't have "cheaters", but that's ok I had some in my purse! The server, a young girl, was very funny and cute! Great service. The portions were ample! I liked the miso soup, and she was kind enough to ensure there was no sea weed in it!! read more

This was so good at one time. What happened? Quality of fish is poor. Cleanliness is way low for a sushi place. In my opinion, China Buffet has better sushi, so does Sprouts groceries. What a shame they have let this place drop to this level. Oh, and service does not help this place any. Cooked food and Sushi bar is bad. read more

Some of the best sushi I've had since living in Philadelphia, DC, Baltimore NYC... Pleasant atmosphere , very clean, and the staff are welcoming and super helpful. They know sushi and Japanese food. Serve a big carafe of green tea. Will return next time I'm in El Paso. Soon read more

The best sushi rolls in El Paso without a doubt! Is it pricey? Absolutely, but you pay for what you get. Unlike many other sushi places in El Paso, the fish tastes fresh and isnt drenched in sauces to cover the taste. The quality of the rolls here are top notch and the salmon belly melts in your mouth like butter. read more

Awesome.. Fresh. Best sushi rolls in this town. Great service and friendly. Highly recomend

The restaurant was nice. The service was good. The food was decent. Appreciated that they had hand rolls. Overall it was decent

This is my favorite go to place for sushi. Even when I used to live on the other side of town, whenever I crave sushi I make the drive to this place simply because it is worth it. Recently they came up with new sushi rolls such as the volcano roll, sexy roll and chopstick roll. You must try it! read more

Riyoma - New chopstick roll - Japanese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Its a nice restaurant, they just have some very over priced food. This is not to say all items on the menu are over priced, just some. It is a japanese restaurant owned by a korean. I have been to korea 3 times and many japanese/korean restaurants. Nowhere in my life until here, have i paid $12 for 6 small pieces of short ribs. Heres the kicker, no rice came with it.... Rant complete read more

Simply the best in El Paso. Fish is flown in from LA several times a week. The chef owner is amazing.

Excellent sushi and great service. What a pleasant, random place to find open on a Sunday. Will definitely come back.

LOVE the sushi here. Definitely the best sushi in El Paso and you definitely get what you pay for. If you can afford to spend at least $50 to $100 for high quality sushi then do so. Of course I don't go very often because I can't afford good sushi. Other menu items are decently priced though and very tasty. One of the best miso soups I've had. read more

Riyoma has the freshest sushi in El Paso. If you really want something delicious and healthy, you can order the tuna belly or the yellow tail served sashimi style, where they bring out the fresh fish cut into slices and you ask for jalapeños to be thinly sliced with fresh avocado and lemons...it's an amazing meal. The gyoza is also delicious. The bottom is crispy and the top is tender... with the dipping sauce, it's incredible. The sushi chef has great hospitality. He is very attentive to your specific needs for each roll, so you can ask him to make you a roll that's not even on the menu! read more

Absolutely amazing. One of two of the only places I will even eat sushi at in El Paso. The fish here is always fresh and expertly prepared, plus they have my favorite nigiri, surf clam which is quite difficult to find in El Paso. Service is attentive and friendly and the place is impeccably clean. Portions are great. I do caution that good Sushi isn't cheap- they are a bit pricier than most sushi joints and it can't be an expensive treat, but you get what you pay for. Great sushi , great food. read more
