Sashimi Salad was amazing The Pechanga roll was excellent The green Matcha ice cream dessert was complementary and so delicious. Great service. read more

The salad is very fresh, the pink sauce has a little sweetness to it but also creaminess that balances well The Malibu roll is great, it has a little smokiness that adds to the overall balance, it is a soft roll that has spicy tuna, spicy crab, avocado, shrimp tempura, salmon on top with spicy mayo I think it's very yummy but maybe a freshness or crunch is needed The sushi pepper was not what I was expecting, the tuna had the same consistency as ground turkey and there wasn't really much spice to it, it had a crunch but not super crunchy I was expecting the jalepeno to have the crunch ; no flavor, not enough white stuff (cream cheese?) was very confusing The udon is quite good, I got the nabe so not a super creamy broth but it had a great flavor, just enough salt and umami, the chicken was easy to eat with none of those weird pieces that are hard to chew, and they had salad pieces as well as egg and fish cake which complimented the dish well The service was great, they made sure our water was full and when we sent back the peppers they took it with no problems. They also made sure we got refills for our Diet Coke. The ambiance was nice, it had an Asian vibe and the seating was great read more

Went here with my wife for date night. The inside was very clean and the lighting was comfortable. The servers were quick and were very friendly. The couple rolls that I had were ok, nothing special. The croquettes and the takoyaki however were exceptional. This is one of the only places around that makes proper takoyaki, and is the only place around that serves croquettes. If you find yourself at the mall or in the area this is an easy pick for somewhere good to eat. - Mr.Narrwahl read more

This place has quickly become my go-to sushi spot in the area, and for good reason. From the moment you walk in, the staff make you feel genuinely welcome -- attentive without being overbearing, and clearly passionate about what they're serving. The sushi rolls are delicious and creative, with fresh, well-balanced flavors in every bite. But the real showstopper is the nigiri -- the portions are incredibly generous, which is rare to find at this quality level. You actually feel like you're getting your money's worth. Whether you're a sushi purist or love a beautifully crafted roll, this place delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend! read more

Had the pleasure of dining here at least Twice with Ralph as the Sushi Chef. Over the years a great Sushi Chef remembers what his clients like, so I just sit at the Sushi Bar with his other Regulars and have Ralph build me Three Custom Rolls. Ambiance is nice, not very loud.

Sushi Boat is easily a 5-star spot. The food was super fresh and tasted amazing, and everything came out looking really well made. The atmosphere was fun and different, especially with the boat style setup, which made the whole experience more interesting. Service was great too quick, friendly, and everything just felt smooth. Definitely one of the best places to grab sushi, I'd 100% go back. read more

One of my new favorite sushi places in Temecula. The sushi was fabulous and the teriyaki chicken bento box was delicious! The hubby does not like mayo and our server worked with him and gave him options on other dressings. Our server Steven was super sweet and very attentive. They offer a small complementary sample of Edamame which is a nice touch. The inside is super cute with traditional Japanese decor. read more

A nice little sushi place at the mall. I usually get the Crunch Scallop which is usually good, but it can sometimes vary, probably depending on which chef is in the kitchen. At times, it can be drenched in sauce, but it's nothing horrible. Service is great as well. I like that they give us ice cream near the end. read more

This place never disappoint us and this is one of the reason we always come here all the time. Complementary edamame and matcha ice cream always been a sweet touch Kevin, the staff, always being sweet and foods always been in great quality. Price is always been competitive read more

Still one of our go to favorites for lunch dates when we are in the area. They always have the best customer service whether it is empty or busy! On top of everything, their prices remain reasonable and unlike majority of other sushi restaurants, they still give out complimentary edamame at the start and green tea ice cream at the end of your meal. Highly recommend to everyone, ordered the Temecula Roll for the first time and although I was nervous to try something new, it was so good! read more

The establishment has been here for 10+ years and there have been some major changes/improvements. They have changed interior to make it look more intimate or private for customers. It's better for domestic couples or for a family meal (would advise against coming here for a date as there could be more places to get to know someone with a better setting). As it's located in a mall, you can park in a structure or in a nearby spot in the parking lot. My party ordered the Lunch Box (Bento Box), Mixed Tempura, Winchester Roll, and the Chirashi bowl. The total price, with tip, came to about $80. In reference to the food, we had edamame that was served cold (yes, it can be prepared and served either warm or cold, but the taste was not present and the flesh did not break/flatten easily). The side salad was a little bland due to the vegetables used. I've found that spring mix is better vs. the cabbage used in their salad (doesn't absorb the dressing as well). The chirashi bowl prioritized looks over the ability to eat and blend ingredients well. It was hard to eat with all the food stacked in large portions on top. There was no nori, shiso, or roe mixed with the rice. Bonus: You can get complimentary green tea ice cream after your meal. The servers were nice. The environment was a generally clean and well-kept place. However, with a large amount of options, the food could still be improved upon. read more

Went for lunch for the first time and the place is really good. We got a couple sushi rolls and a bento box.

We have slowly become more discerning about what we consider good sushi. After three visits, we found Sushi boat to be priced right sushi. Food: vibrant colors in the fish, a fresh aroma, sticky (not mushy) rice, sufficiently firm fish, and all served visually appealing. You get a bit more than what you pay for. Also, just for sitting down you get free, tasty edamame. Service: prompt but not rushed, friendly, willing to respectfully assist with menu, and seemingly non judgmental towards fork or sugar users. Ambiance: great for dates, family, or solo bar service. It didn't feel like you are at a mall. The booths give a feeling of privacy. Price: this was a great bang for your buck. Though everything tasted great, it was also understandable that this wasn't made by Jiro Ono with fish right out of the ocean. It was a great Temecula meal. read more

Another great experience here. This time tried the Jay Special 2 no rice roll, salmon sashimi, 911 roll and gyoza Food came out quickly and was fresh. Staff was friendly and greeted us upon entry. Inside was clean and not too loud. The jay special 2 was good but not my favorite because the Cucumber was a little too thick for my personal taste. I liked the other no rice roll better. Presentation was very good. The 911 roll was pretty good and a little spicy. read more

We haven't been to this place in awhile, but we were craving something healthy at the mall and sushi was the first thing that came to our mind. The owner? Manager created us right away as he always does each time and we were quickly seated. Service was impeccable and attentive as always and this is probably my favorite part about this restaurant. The sashimi portions are generous and the plate was beautifully served. We order 3 rolls on top of the 15 sashimi pieces and it was more than enough for our party of 4. 2 kids and 2 adults. Our kids love sushi so they can eat as much as a grown adult on good days. We came early before the dinner crowd so it was not very busy and quiet. The restaurant is always so clean and the bathroom as well was very clean and tidy. read more

Good service and fresh! Not overpriced at all. The complimentary ice cream was so rich and creamy. Overall no complaints.

Our experience here was pretty solid. They offered us a special table for our infant child. Very accommodating and food was good. I ordered the combo plate for dinner with teriyaki salmon and tempera. Tempera was crispy but the salmon was just okay. Hot Night roll was also pretty good! Quantity was good and fish tasted fresh. They offered ice cream at the end too! read more

I really wanted to love this place, but it fell very short from my expectations. We were seated promptly and were given iced lemon waters, but we were a party of three and we waited over five minutes for the third water to arrive. Food was delivered at a reasonable time. All three rolls were missing flavor. The spicy tuna in particular lacked flavor, not spicy at all and was presented so messy! Not visually appealing at all. Teriyaki chicken had burnt areas causing the chicken to taste burnt overall. Salmon was over cooked. Originally we asked for the spicy pork, but that was not available. Reasonable competitive prices compared to other sushi establishments. Great choice of music playing in the background. Also, they do offer a complimentary matcha ice cream, which was delicious. Sadly, I don't think I will come back. Presentation and flavor is the biggest part of the dining experience and this restaurant missed the mark. read more

I havent been here in quite awhile now but i felt that a review was long overdue. I have gone to this place for literal years when i have the chance and always had a really pleasant time. The inside of the restaurant is pretty and clean and the servers are always very nice. All the food ive tried here has been good but my go-to sushi are the spicy tuna roll, white dragon, and volcano scallop. Ive also tried the bento box which was tasty too. Many times ive been there the owner has been working and bussing tables and has even said hello to us acknowledging that he remembers our faces, which is always nice. I dont know if they still do this but they used to give you a small scoop of ice cream complimentary if you dined in. read more

Sushi Boat has been one of the few go-to Japanese food spots in the area that I enjoy with my family. Its located outside of the Temecula Promenade Mall kind of near the location of the food court and outside escalators. During this visit, I went with my parents during lunch as it opened up at 11:30 in the morning. We were quickly seated in the middle of the restaurant. Sushi Boat is a nice large restaurant with many booths and tables around. I like the privacy of the booths! Their menu has a very large variety of appetizers, udon, sushi rolls, boxes, sashimi combos, salads, and entrees. It made it so difficult for me to pin down what to eat as everything is always so good coming from Sushi Boat. During this visit, we ordered two sushi rolls. We ordered their Albacore Delight roll and to be honest, I don't remember the name of the second roll. Oops! Either way, both rolls were fresh, delicious, and good in size. I ordered their bento box with sashimi, vegetable tempura, and tonkatsu. The tonkatsu was perfectly fried to a crisp but moist on the inside, the tempura was fried with a nice crunch and not oily while the tuna and salmon sashimi was very fresh with a nice clean taste to it. In the bento box, it came with a nice serving of rice and a mixed salad with a delicious sesame-type dressing. With lunch, it came with a nice miso soup. Was great on that cold, gloomy day! Warmed us up perfectly! After a meal, they ended our meal with a nice scoop of green tea ice cream. Always such a highlight! Its creamy, slightly sweet with a nice light green tea taste. Sushi Boat is always a great choice and I wish I didn't wait so long to come back! Service is excellent! Our orders did not take long, the restaurant was well kept and clean and our waiter was incredibly nice and always checking up on us. Two thumbs up for Sushi Boat! read more

Came here unintentionally and i'm so glad I did. Originally was supposed to go to another spot but they were way too busy so we came here and go seated right away. We ordered the Teriyaki Chicken plate and the House Roll. All of it was AMAZING. What also shocked me was how reasonably priced everything was. The inside is very spacious and they also have outside seating as well. From start to finish our host and server were very welcoming and attentive. It was also nice to see the managers on the floor checking up on tables. I highly recommend coming here for quality Japanese sushi, ramen, and rice plates. You will definitely be getting your money's worth. read more

Very nice staff! We liked most of the food we ordered. I had ordered a oyster shooter that took about a half hour to be served because the oysters were frozen however, I didn't really mind because I knew it would be really fresh.. the service there can be very slow, but we were in no hurry. We started off with one waiter. I think he may have been new or ill. I don't know if they sent him home or what however they did send over another person and he was marvelous. The place is pretty big and well taken care of. We will definitely be back. read more

Best Sushi Place in Temecula Valley Does this place need another introduction? Another review? Well, this joint is just so gosh darn good, I simply had to just gush over it. This place is in the perfect mall location, and the decor is just plain perfect. Love the bench seats, the flower decorations, etc. Just love it! Came on a Friday night. So what did we order the right stuff? Takoyaki. Cuter than normal smaller bite size little guys. Some would complain they are smaller than usual Takoyaki. But these are actually full over flavor. Just the right amount of squid inside and not too much batter with plenty sauce: it's the perfect ratio of ingredients. And the nice crunch on the outside was just perfect. Perfect iteration of an izakaya or sushiya staple, this is a must order as tasty app. Sushi Pepper. Jalapeño pepper in crunchy batter, filled with mix of cream cheese and spicy tuna. Super tasty combo that just melts in the mouth. Just the perfect blend of savory, salty flavors with the creamy cheese. Definite recommend. Spicy Tuna Makuzushi. Tasty, not too salty. The mashed up kind we like. Recommend. Spicy Tuna Temakizushi. Hand roll. Good size. Same kind of spicy tuna found in the maki roll. Unfortunately, no crunch option ala places like Kura Sushi. Otherwise has crunchy veggies. Recommend. Agedashi Tofu. Super tasty. While not the best since it was just a touch soggy, and maybe the flavor wasn't as soaked in intense as some others we've had. Still solid. Recommend. Inari and Tamago Nigirzushi. Solid pieces. Good flavor, texture, and well made. (Compare to tamago from Kura, which always falls apart.) Seemingly a bit on the smaller side. Recommend. Overal fantastic experience with large portions overall. And at decent prices. Only paid $68 for a family of three, and we were stuffed. Absolutely recommend this place. And the ice cream is complimentary at the end! read more

The food was absolutely delicious! Unlike other places, this place has an array of choices (baked, fresh, fried, sashimi style). They also have 'new' rolls. Most places carry the same types of fish. Sushi Boat offers more choices. I am always greeted with a smile regardless of how busy they are. Owner comes by and checks on you and offers free ice cream. I absolutely love our server, Kevin. He is definitely on top of his tables, making sure everyone is doing well. Thank you for always making my experience the best one! It's not a small place. You have a choice to sit at the Sushi bar, a table for 2 or a booth. It's always so clean and the Chefs are always so welcoming. This place by far is my favorite sushi place in Temecula. I've been coming here for 18 years now and it's only gotten better. read more
