Aey is an amazing server. She is fast, professional with the best personality. And the food is always fire .

Probably the best AYCE sushi spot in the area. I say this because the sushi was fresh. I normally order no rice rolls. They had a very unique menu. I was able to try all the no rice rolls and they were all fantastic. One dish that stood out to me was the seared nigiri tuna. I normally don't like tuna but this one had perfect texture and flavor. They have indoor and outdoor seating. And they have tvs for entertainment. They also have bar seating. There is a service charge of 15% that automatically goes to your check. Dinner for 2 was $95 with gratuity and with no alcohol ordered. Over all Not bad, I'll be back. read more

This used to be the spot years ago! It's sad that their quality has definitely gone down. We opted for all you can eat and ordered a variety of sushi & appetizers. The food came out relatively quick. The quality of the fish was terrible. It was chewy and not fresh at all. Service was nice and ambiance was lively and busy but the sushi itself was not good. read more

My wife had been recommending Asahi Sushi for a while, so when the family was in the mood for sushi, we decided to give it a try. Our first impression was that the restaurant was extremely busy, which usually makes me think the food must be good. When we walked in, the staff appeared to be finishing a quick meeting, so it took about two minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Since the restaurant was standing-room only, we ended up waiting in the doorway, unintentionally blocking people coming in and out. Once we were greeted and seated, we were served lemon water and asked if we wanted to do the all-you-can-eat option for $35 per person. It sounded like a good deal, but I wasn't hungry enough to justify it, so I ordered à la carte instead: a California Roll, an Unagi Avocado Roll, and the Chicken Katsu. The sushi was fresh and enjoyable overall. Unfortunately, the fried Chicken Katsu was a disappointment. The chicken was extremely tough and difficult to chew, making it an unpleasant part of the meal. Because we were seated near the entrance, the dining experience itself wasn't very comfortable. The restaurant was so crowded that customers and servers were constantly brushing against my chair, bumping into me, or tripping over the chair legs as they squeezed by. It made it difficult to relax and enjoy the meal. On the positive side, the restaurant was nice and cool on a hot day, and the sushi was definitely the highlight of the visit. However, between the cramped seating and the disappointing Fried Chicken Katsu, it wasn't an experience I personally would want to repeat. For me, this was a solid 2.5 out of 5 stars. There is definitely potential here, especially if the seating flow and consistency of the food can be improved. read more

What amazing prices to go from stop! I love their luv luv roll and can't not get some nigiri. Plenty of chopsticks, soy sauce, and ginger. The food stayed fresh in my bag even me having a little commute back home. If you can definitely enjoy their AYCE but if you can't, no worries. I think their to go prices are perfect! read more

Sushi Asahi has great deals on Grub Hub. Buy one get one! I couldn't skip out on the awesome deal. When I got there to pick up my order, it wasn't even a second later that I was greeted and confirmed my order! I love that kind of service. The space was nice, although I got my food to go. I got their baked mussels, yum!!! I can eat 4 orders of there's. I also ordered their rainbow roll and their crunch roll. Both were just okay, but I'm find with that. All in all, very delicious and I'd order from them again. read more

AYCE sushi is a great deal. We had a party of 5 and they made room for us with little wait. They have a Jen Jen roll thought that was cool because that's my name. All of the rolls were fresh and flavorful Service was attentive. Loud atmosphere due to the small space. read more

Came here because the wait at Okoku was too long and we were hungry. Service was extremely slow for us, meanwhile the tables next to us were getting hella food the whole time we waited. We did all you can eat and the rainbow roll was 4 pieces. Our miso soup just never came out. We definitely won't be back. read more

Food is great as always! Their customer service is top tier. The severs are constantly clearing plates from the tables and drinks stay filled. Specific shout out to their sever Aey! She's always so kind and attentive. read more

I was really excited to try a different AYCE sushi place. The nigiri and carpaccios were excellent. We got a salmon collar which was baked so no crispy skin, definitely do not recommend. The rolls were pretty decent and the price isn't bad, but I've had better sushi elsewhere. read more

Back After 10 Years -- Did It Still Hold Up? I used to eat at Sushi Asahi - Riverside every Friday for lunch, so after nearly 10 years, I was genuinely excited to return while I was back in the area. We arrived just after the lunch rush and initially found plenty of open tables, which made for a relaxed start to our AYCE sushi experience. The ambiance was good: Lots of seating outside as well. Ordering on your phone was also easier to keep track of what we ordered and still had coming. We kicked things off strong with the Baked Mussels, Diablo and Volcano roll and the limited-to-one-order-per-person carpaccios. As the restaurant filled up, the energy picked up and so did the wait times between rounds. Pretty typical for a busy all-you-can-eat spot, but worth noting if you come during peak hours. Once we moved into the nigiri portion, we both felt the fish quality dipped slightly compared to the opening rounds. Nothing bad at all -- just not quite on the higher end of sushi we've had recently. Of course, that didn't stop us from ordering six more rolls... which officially did us in. We managed to narrow it down to five pieces of Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna and Salmon before finally tapping out. Elite Tip: If your party has fewer than six leftover pieces total, they'll let you take them home without an extra charge -- a clutch move when AYCE ambition exceeds stomach capacity. Overall, it felt like revisiting an old favorite -- nostalgic, satisfying, and still a solid option when the sushi craving hits. Glad we made the return visit after all these years. read more

I had a server with the worst attitude I have ever experienced at a restaurant in years. I was told her name was Jenn or Jenny She was shockingly rude. I wanted to pay for my leftovers because I ordered too much food, and she kept threatening to charge me. I literally wanted to pay extra for a to go box. She literally said I couldn't talk anyone but her at the restaurant since the manager wasn't there. Servers need to at least try to treat customers like customers. It seemed like she was having a bad day from the moment we walked in, but that's not an excuse to be rude and self-justified. She started accusing me of having a bad attitude because I wanted to talk to another server. Insane! When you are rude to your customers, they will be upset. We come for good food and to relax, not to deal with waiters having a bad day. One of the other servers apologized to me but she was storming around acting like the owner. Unacceptable. read more

it is so disappointing, from their slow service, and the fish just is not fresh. Shrimp boat super fishy . just not worth it anymore. They used to be really good. one of the server i think she just woke up from a nap... daze looking and keeps touching her braided hair and touching to serve food just gross. Save your money and go somewhere else read more

Awesome service by all the staff here! Wonderful welcome and attentiveness during our visit. Delicious sushi selections. Ayce (all you can eat) option is $35.99 per person. Definitely worth it. Apps, rolls, and everything in between is included with the ayce menu. We indulged in some no rice, tempura, baked, fried and fresh rolls and apps. Luv the large selection of no rice options. So fresh! Scan the QR code to place your order. Rolls are categorized just as shown on physical menus provided at your table. Take a look at the pictures to see what each roll looks like. Once you've made your selections and quantity of each, send your order and it'll come out shortly. After ordering a few rolls we had to wait a few minutes before ordering a second round. Try as much as you want. They've got the games on and music playing inside. Luvd the music selections playing. It's a joyous occasion for ayce sushi. Shaded patio seating also available. Large lot right in front with neighboring shops. Next to daily brew coffee shop and near the van buren drive in theater. A must visit! read more

It was our first time here at Sushi Asahi and it will definitely be one of our top places to visit! We came here for my hubby's birthday and our waitress AEY was super friendly, knowledgeable, and gave good recommendations. She was absolutely fun and provided good service. Her bubbly personality made our dining experience quite memorable and pleasureable. I love how they turn the lights off and play fun music while bringing out a slice of cheesecake for my hubby. Top notch service for sure! We came here for their $29.99 weekday AYCE lunch special and it was so worth it. Sushi comes in 2 pieces and Rolls comes in 4. My favorites included the spicy tuna with crispy rice, yellow tail carpaccio, rainbow roll, and their large fried shrimp. I also ordered the honeymoon roll which actually had no rice which was good as I am watching my carb count. Basically, each round of orders are made fresh and you can order another round after 10 minutes. What I like about this place is there is no limit to rounds so that was nice. Their gyoza was lightly fried and delicious. We got the calamari but it wasn't as good as the other dishes. My hubby likes the karaage and katsu but I feel like the sauce was too much. Next time I will ask for sauce on the side. I was quite thorougly surpised at how light and tasty the mango avocado salad was. Overall, great memorable experience thanks to AEY. I hope she will be our waitress next time we visit! This restaurant is located in the Albertson plaza and next to Daily Brew Coffee house! Plenty of parking in the front and it also has a Yelp waitlist so thats convenient! read more

Service was 10/10 because of Thien we'll be coming again! The salmon carpaccio was probably my favorite! As well as the Kiss of Fire was the best roll we got! Overall it was so fun and cute! Thanks Thien!! read more

First time eating here, went for the AYCE on the weekend for lunch time. During the week, it's $30 a person and $35 for dinner, but $35 all day on the weekends. The restaurant is pretty open-spaced with lots of tables which are pretty close together. TVs for viewing and they have physical menus with a QR code you can scan and order on your phone and they will bring it you, which is pretty cool. They have lots of fresh roll options which unique combinations and classic rolls you would expect. They also have Nigiri, but my only complaint would be that the Nigiri's are packed with rice and that means the fish to rice ratio is off (it's mostly rice). Besides that, the fish is flavorful and tastes very fresh and for $35, is an amazing price! They also have plenty of appetizers like Calamari and shrimp which were pretty good. The service was fast and easy, but they do limit the carpaccio to one order per person. I saw reviews complaining about the service but we came when it was packed and did not have any problems. Lastly, the restaurant is located in a big plaza with plenty of parking and next door to Albertsons so parking was quick and easy and it was nice to stop by the market after. Overall, a great and quite reasonably priced AYCE spot, will be back! read more

This hands down is one of my favorites!!!! Been going here for yearssssss. Ngl, it had been a cool minute since I was last here. Decided to do an ayce date with a good friend of mine. Oh boy did we eat. Also realized that a few things had changed. Change is good. In this case, the new ordering system is amazing. So fast & convenient. And we can even pay that way. The sushi here is always on point! They had a few new items, that's probably why we ate so much, we wanted to try all the new items!!! Always busy, always packed but the staff still remain kind & helpful. And for the pricing, still one of the best with the best food & service. read more

My wife and I decided to dine at Sushi Asahi on a Sunday--which happened to be the day of the World Cup Finals! Needless to say, the restaurant was packed, but we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were seated. Our server took our drink orders right away, and we really appreciated the setup: you have the option between All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) or ordering a la carte. A huge bonus was the convenient QR code ordering system right at the table, making it super easy to order directly from your phone without any delay. Both the food quality and the service were top-notch despite the busy crowd. If you're craving sushi and bringing a big appetite, Sushi Asahi is definitely the spot for you! read more

Everything was on point. Only thing I'll add is please cut the mussels so they are easy to remove from the shell. Service was great. Ambience was excellent. Thank you. Bomb. ! read more

They do get busy.. but they are friendly and food prep is fast and accurate. Gets a bit loud inside but food is great.

First time coming here to this spot and I'm glad I found it. Everything is so fresh and yummy. Yes Saturday it does get a bit busier but it is so worth the wait. The music that they play it's so upbeat and it takes me back to my raver days. This is now my new sushi spot. read more

I've been to Asahi Sushi five times in the last month, and I think that alone says how much I love this place. Every single visit has been consistently amazing. The fish is always fresh, the quality never disappoints, and the albacore has become my absolute favorite. What really sets Asahi Sushi apart is the service. Since gratuity is included, every staff member helps take care of every table. My drinks are constantly being refilled, empty plates are cleared right away, and someone is always making sure we have everything we need. It feels like a true team effort, and I've never felt ignored. I also love that you order directly from your phone. It makes the experience so much more efficient because you're never waiting to flag someone down to place another order. Even when the restaurant is packed--which it usually is--the food comes out surprisingly fast unless you're with a very large group. For around $40 all-you-can-eat, I honestly think it's one of the best values around. The biggest compliment I can give this restaurant is that I never used to like raw sushi until I came to Asahi Sushi. Now I crave it and keep coming back. Five visits in one month later, I can confidently say this has become my favorite sushi spot. If you're thinking about trying it, do yourself a favor and go--you might end up becoming a regular like I did. read more

Aey was an amazing help. Not only took care of us but anticipated our needs. Not only is the food good, the service is amazing also.

This is my absolute favorite sushi spot! I always find myself craving their mango salad and seared lemon pepper salmon. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and the quality of the fish is consistently rich and flavorful. Their seasoning is amazing, and you can tell they put a lot of care, effort, and attention into both the presentation and quality of every dish. My only complaint is the size of the restaurant. It's very small, and when it gets busy, the seating can feel cramped. I personally prefer sitting at the bar because the tables are packed so closely together. If you're seated elsewhere, you often have to squeeze past other guests to get to your seat or leave the table, which can be a little uncomfortable and awkward. That said, the food is absolutely worth it. I recommend coming during less busy hours if possible to avoid the crowded seating situation. Despite the limited space, the sushi is outstanding, and it's a place I keep coming back to again and again. read more

If you're looking for great sushi in Riverside, Asahi Sushi is a solid choice. The flavor is consistently on point--fresh fish, well-balanced rolls, and everything tastes like it's made with care. What really stands out is the all-you-can-eat option. The price is very reasonable for the quality you get, and the portions don't feel "cheap" like some AYCE spots. You can actually enjoy a variety without sacrificing taste. Service is friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe is relaxed--perfect for a casual night out or grabbing sushi with friends. Definitely a go-to spot if you want good sushi without overpaying. read more

This place has decent sushi. We came here for all you can eat. Service was nice. I like how they give you smaller portions so you can try more items. They have decent appetizers. Some of the sushi was oddly salty. I think it was the imitation crab mixture inside that was salty. It's not a huge place so expect to wait a little. It's a decent spot if you're craving sushi and are in the area. read more

I ordered pickup by phone and was told 25 min for it to be ready. That is normally the timeframe for this restaurant so no issues. But I get there 30 minutes later and was told my order wasn't ready yet. It ended up being 1 hour and 10 minutes before the food was ready. I ordered 2 Golden California rolls and 2 Golden Tigers, that was it. I understand they were busy, it was packed in the restaurant, pretty crazy for a weeknight. They apologized and said they were slammed with customers so the food orders fell behind. Had I known it would take that long, I would have cancelled the order. The food was great as usual but it was disappointing how long I had to wait for it. Hopefully this will not be the new norm because I really like the food here. At least they were nice and apologized for the delay, that was very much appreciated. read more

After a hike, we decided to have lunch as a group of three. We arrived at 11:20ish, right before it opened. It was perfect timing because they put out a waitlist screen 5 minutes later and were seated within 10 minutes after that. We were quickly seated, and our server was very nice. They helped explain how the menu works since we mentioned it was our first time. We decided it would be best to do the AYCE menu for $35/pp and they also let us know it included gratuity. We quickly got started and ordered with the QR code they gave us. There were so many options, but I definitely recommend mainly going with the sashimi for the best bang for your buck. The fish itself tasted very fresh and great quality. It was so great to be able to taste the different flavors of each fish. The rolls were also very creative and just the perfect ratio of flavor and textures. The sushi all came out at a good pace, so it was nice that we didn't have to wait too long, but we did time our orders to help ensure that. Based on the price, quality of food, and quality of service, I would strongly recommend this spot! We definitely want to come back again! read more

First time here. Average priced at $35 per person. They have plenty to choose from. What sets them apart from other sushi spots?? They offer smaller portions (4 pieces per roll, 1 piece per nigiri and 2-4 pcs for appetizers) so you can try more options. The seared salmon lemon pepper nigiri also makes this place unique. It's a must try. The place has plenty of seating but is compacted. My only complaint is the service. I feel they were not very attentive and they don't communicate well because one guy took my bill and another lady questioned if I paid or not when I was leaving. Overall, I'd still come back. The food was really good. read more

This sushi spot seriously hit the spot. I ordered through DoorDash for pickup, and the whole process was smooth and easy. My food was ready right on time, neatly packed, and everything looked just as good as it would if you were dining in. I kept it classic with the California rolls, and they were exactly what you want -- fresh, clean, and perfectly balanced. The crab mix was creamy without being heavy, the avocado was buttery and bright green, and the cucumber had that crisp snap that lets you know everything was prepped that day. The rice was lightly seasoned, slightly warm, and held together without being dense. Even as a pickup order, nothing felt soggy or rushed -- every bite tasted fresh. They're open late, which is perfect when a sushi craving hits at night, and they offer AYCE (all-you-can-eat) if you decide to dine in. On top of that, they run buy one get one 50% off deals, which makes it easy to try more without spending a ton. Fresh rolls, great deals, late hours, and a smooth DoorDash pickup experience -- definitely a spot I'll be ordering from again. read more
