Walking in the restaurant was clean, and I really liked the decorative touches. It took a moment to get seated but once we were settled the food came out quickly. I came with a friend and we were able to have their lunch special which comes with a small salad and soup. Of course, I like the classic items and tried their Popcorn Langostino with their fried calamari as an appetizer. The food tasted fresh and I finished the langostino in one sitting. We walked in at 1pm and left at 2:30pm because the food, company and ambiance was great! Just make sure you are aware of the hours because they do close for two hours during the day (2:30-4:30pm). Will be back for another luncheon. read more

Having sushi here is honestly life changing! I don't know what kind of magic they're doing in the kitchen, but every bite felt like my taste buds were being hugged by angels. I've had sushi before, but never like this; the flavors are so unique it's like the fish went to culinary school. The service? Absolutely exceptional, friendly, fast, and they somehow knew when I was ready for my next roll like they could read my mind. 10/10, would happily risk chopstick fatigue again. read more

Youandi is solid spot to grab sushi. We snagged a table easily upon walking in around 6pm on a Saturday night. Service was super attentive and friendly. They serve complimentary soup and salad which I'd recommend- it was tasty and the lettuce was fresh. The crispy rice is a large portion and the tuna was delicious. The Yellowtail was okay- a tad fishy and the roll was a little sloppy. The Salmon Sushi and Shrimp Tempura were great. The Spanish Mackrel was the star for me- it melted in the mouth. It was a tad pricey ($10), but the quality was definitely there! I would come back next time I'm in Temecula. read more

I was shockingly surprised to find this amazing sushi restaurant In Temecula. It was the closest place to where I was staying I went to get a sake and couple hand rolls. If the fish was fresh. They must fly in their fish fresh, it is definitely amazing. The hand rolls are a phenomenal deal but the fresh nigiri they have is also very special. Highly recommend definitely will come back Service was on point and ambiance is cozy and small. The sushi chefs interact with you directly which is phenomenal read more

Truly excellent sushi is typically hard to come by in Southern California. In Los Angeles or San Diego, you'll be paying an arm and a leg for the privilege to experience the pinnacle of sushi -- fresh fish, perfect rice, thoughtful construction, and a bonus of lovely ambiance. YouandI is an extraordinary gem that transcends expectations without the exorbitant cost. Wonderful service a well. We're lucky to have them! read more

Came across YouandI when searching for a sushi restaurant in the area. The outside looks totally dark and the restaurant may even look closed, but the inside turned into a really nice vibe with the lighting and decor! Portion sizes were big and our rolls came with a miso soup and a small side salad. The rolls are generally bigger than your average sushi restaurant, but not to the point where it's mainly rice. We got nice cuts of fish on our Candy Cane Roll and Burning Your Stomach Roll. They were too similar in fillings so I wish I got something different, but I did like the Candy Cane better. It had yellowtail and tuna on top and the other roll has jalapeños and albacore on top. For appetizers, we got the Lava Stones which is basically crispy tuna rice. They were nice bite size pieces and delicious. No idea what the chef's special sauce is, but it tasted like a ponzu mixture of some sort. I did like it with my roll though! Overall, I do think presentation could be a little better, but our rolls were tasty and we had leftovers! Definitely check this place out for a hefty list of sushi rolls and combinations. read more

Been to this sushi spot 1 time so far and I really enjoyed the food. The jalapeno bomb appetizer was great, tasted fresh, and the krab filling to jalapeno slice was great (no skimping here). I also had a salmon roll and that was very good, salmon was baked perfect, the rice to filling ratio was 40% rice 60% filling, which i prefer (hate when it's all rice) and it was served piping hot. Spicy Tuna roll was ok, i think it's mixed with spicy mayo instead of just chili sauce. During lunch special is the time to go! read more

Super fresh fish!!! Really really yummy, and best place I tried in riverside! The restaurant is japanese-run and the sushi tastes authentic to restaurants in japan. A awesome place to go if you like authentic sushi and high quality, fresh fish. I don't normally write reviews but I felt like this place was really a GREAT sushi restaurant and I want to say it stands out from others with great quality and a high selection of luxury fish. Thanks for everything, I had a great time dining here! read more

From the outside, you wouldn't think how beautifully decorated this place is. The service was awesome also. BUT BABY, the sushi was sooo fresh and good. ORDER the mussels and a roll called taste like my ex-girlfriend. Promise it will be good and the washungton just a good salmon roll, but they use pickled carrots omg. I wanted a different sushi place, and I found one. Pricey, but what sushi isnt. 2 rolls, baked muscles delicious, 2 hand rolls, 2 drinks, and fresh Wasabi cost us 80 before the tip is not bad, and I'll be back. read more

Used to be good. Service has gone down. Food quality fell to inflation. I hope they make it.

I never expected to find an amazing sushi spot in a Temecula strip mall until I found Youandi sushi from a random Yelp search months ago when we were in town. We were so impressed that we've not only been back several times ourselves, but have brought our friends and family around too. Everyone has really enjoyed it! Highly recommend the sushi combo, sashimi combo, hand rolls (spicy scallops, blue crab, etc. Tbh they're all good), and specialty nigiri pieces (ask for what's current). If you come during lunch, they give you a complimentary salad (super crisp and refreshing) and miso soup as well. Also, I really appreciate that they use freshly grated, REAL wasabi - makes a huge difference! They offer an impressive variety of fish, everything is always very fresh, and the cuts are also very generous. Coming from LA, we're pretty spoiled with high quality sushi options, but this spot has wowed us. The staff is always pleasant and the chef is fantastic. From quality to value, they tick all the boxes! Highly, highly recommend! read more

My wife and I absolutely love this place. It is our go to sushi restaurant every time. The miso here is the best I've ever had, service is always polite and speedy, and they always have a bangin playlist going. Never had a bad experience here and been coming for years. We order some complicated food items at times and they always accommodate and never get it wrong. I'll add that we are a gay couple and are very welcomed here. read more

The hidden gem of Temecula. You need to try this place. I honestly can't believe there's this good a quality sushi in Temecula! This is one of my all time favorite sushi restaurants (I've been to many) staff are friendly, I always recognize the blond girl from my first time there for my birthday, I'm so bad with names but she's always delightful. The chefs are the bar even made me and my girlfriend a customized roll (his own creation) just because she said she liked salmon skin. Delicious btw. Now the FOOD! It's always great quality and fresh. Plus you get free salad and miso soup. I can tell this place prides itself in its authenticity, it's family owned so you should definitely support them and they have a cute cozy ambience. read more

Great place for sushi in the area! My other fave is Nekko. Being from LA/OC area and now living in the vicinity of this area, I'd have to say, it's really hard to find good sushi restaurants. Kam our server is great and so attentive! Better service than many places here. Forgot to take photos of our Unagi nigiri and yellowtail order. Food and sake were tasty for sure! Will be back on our next sushi craving day! read more

Had the Chris' Special, second time here. The roll is delicious. I really enjoyed the grilled shrimp and jalapeno, which was spicy but for me it was perfect. If you are allergic to spicy, try it without the jalapeno. It's topped with yellow tail, another favorite of mine. Yumm! Can't wait to try some of their other specialty rolls. Their service was excellent. Servers very attentive and the chefs preparation and dish presentation was on point. Ambiance was lively, soft raggae playing in the background, inviting, overall feeling right at home. read more

Thank you Yelp reviewers, for leading us to YouandI Sushi. We got a little turned around getting there and were pressed for time. The service was friendly and accommodating. We ordered 7 items and they came out quick but not all at once. Their timing was perfect. They did let us know that the rolls that are deep fried will take a little longer. They served us each complimentary miso soup and to die for salad which was super simple but the dressing made it amazing. All the rolls were fresh and ingredients matched well for each roll. A few of the names are kinda funky...lol. I loved the decor and set up of the restaurant and it was clean. Love all the rolls with the Kitchen Sink Roll being our favorite. read more

I came across Youandi a couple months ago while looking for a sushi fix, and I have not been able to get it off my mind since then! The parking is easy and plentiful, the decor is appealing, the service is great, and best of all, the food is delicious and comes in generous portions. Youandi offers complimentary miso soup and salad to start. In addition, I enjoy their hand rolls ($5.50/per) and Lava Stones appetizer ($10.95). The hand rolls are made just like how Kazunori does theirs, which I am obsessed with! They are served right away to ensure that the seaweed is still crispy, which is a must for me. Though they are all great, my favorite hand rolls are the salmon, toro, and yellowtail. As for the Lava Stones, it's basically crispy rice topped with spicy tuna and jalapeno. I've had this dish at several sushi or ramen restaurants, but Youandi has been the best in terms of taste and portion. Most recently, my partner and I ordered the Fried Calamari appetizer ($8.95) to switch things up. We were so surprised by the mountain of calamari and tempura that we were given. It's always a treat to eat at Youandi. I'm hoping to try the Chirashi Bowl or Unagi-Don some time soon, which I have high expectations for. read more

New owners. Not what it was. Better options in Temecula. Tried favorites from the previous menu but, they changed them for the worse. Sad.

this place is so good! The omakase is literally out of this world. I don't know what magic they used on the rice but it's perfect lol. Must try if you're looking for good sushi in the area. read more

Place is exception truly a must try sushi spot. I have anger had sushi like this! Our server was so sweet and recommended some amazing rolls

I've been in Temecula for two years now and the sushi I've had so far was subpar. Ran across this place and was pleasantly surprised. The quality of the fish was excellent as well as the variety. Looks like I don't have to drive to Irvine or LA anymore. read more

We really loved this place. The ambiance and food were great! We recently moved to the area and found this gem. We will be back for sure!

Me and the husband have been going here for 3-4years. We have always been satisfied with the service and the food. Usually I order to go for lunch since time is limited and dine in for dinner. Never a complaint. Just these past few months- dine- in is so slow. My take out orders are ALWAYS missing some things. Last week, NO RICE on my combo! Today NO WASABI!! Now there are many other times which I do not complain about. Also, If you dine in, you get your soup and salad. But if you order to-go you get none. Miso soup is made in a big ass pot before service hour, and the salad is premade and dressing place before serving. These things cost cents. Skimming on things that barely bring in the money only lose customers . Not the way to go. Will be looking for other options. Makes me sad. read more

Ok, I am not going to lie. Based purely on the look on the outside of the restaurant I was a bit skeptical about the 4 1/2 stars this restaurant got. It's not a place I've heard a lot about either, so I kind of wanted to try it just to see what the "hype" was about. Let me just say, that this place deserved all the stars. They have a very large and varied menu so I was happy to have a lot of options on the specialty rolls. I had the Skinny Fat roll and my mom had the Alaska roll. The fish was so, incredibly fresh! I could not get enough. Skinny Fat was just the right amount of fish to be satisfying since it had no rice to bulk it up. The staff was nice and attentive and the restaurant itself was quaint. Also, they gave us a complementary bowl of miso soup and some sort of salad. Truth be told, the salad, which was broken up iceberg lettuce and some sort of yellow, watery, paste, was not my favorite. I hate to even knock it because complementary anything at restaurants is hard to come by, but the salad was a bit unappetizing and left a little to be desired. The miso, however, was great! I will for sure be taking the hubby here to try it. read more

Hands down the best in the Valley. Period. From the execution to the delivery of well treated sushi. Sat at bar, enjoyed Chef Chris! He was very helpful in explaining tastes and nuances to my wife who's never really been into sushi. This was very appreciated. Chef Chris said omakase dining experience will be started by the end of the month. This is a treat to anyone that knows! Enjoyed the Chris special, blue crab hand roll, toro hand roll and 4 different nigiri selections from Chef Chris. All of these items completely blew our minds! Will be back soon. Will be back often. My chopsticks have found a new home! read more

Seriously the best sushi spot in the valley. For anyone who knows sushi they know this is the best place Chris has been a gem to this valley. He always puts out a great product and even though he sold the place he is still here working with the new owners to keep the menu perfect. If you had a bad experience give it another try I promise they fixed up a few things and got the recipes and fish quality dialed back in read more

The sashimi is a great go to here. Today we decided to order to-go. The sashimi was still great but I DO NOT recommend getting the lava stones to go.... It must have cooked on the 7min ride to the house it arrived and looked gross and tasted not so great. Maybe the people over the phone can give a warning. I had never ordered or had it there before so I didn't know. When I have had spicy tuna crispy rice before and this was NOT it..... everything else was decent. read more
