Sushi Asahi

Great all-you-can-eat sushi! The food tasted amazing and ordering was super easy you can place your order straight from your phone and it goes directly to the kitchen, which is really convenient. It does get a little loud inside, so I personally chose to sit outside where it was less crowded and much quieter. Overall, a great experience and I’ll definitely be back again!

The BEST sushi spot in the IE! I’ve been a customer here for over 10 years and I try to come as often as I can (I was coming here at least once a week at one point for the best roll ever—the green goblin roll). Their sushi and service are top tier! I was happy to see their new menu changes and wasn’t surprised by how good the new rolls are (for the new rolls, I recommend the Yoshi and spicy sexy rolls). Even though the gratuity is included in the final price, I always give them an extra tip because the staff consistently goes above and beyond. Our server tonight was Adrian and he was fantastic! He checked on us at just the right times and you could tell he genuinely cared that we were having a good experience. One of my favorite things that makes this place special is how they celebrate birthdays: they turn off the lights, crank up fun music, and play a happy birthday song. Whether you’ve been coming for years or you’re deciding on whether or not to try this place, know that the birthday celebrations alone are reason enough to come. They truly make you feel special, and the whole restaurant joins in to sing—it’s such a fun vibe. Aside from the birthday celebrations, they always play great music. I can’t recommend this place enough—you won’t be disappointed!

Will happily be back! I saw some people complain that the price if all you can eat went up, but i honestly dont mind it, it's 30$ before 3pm and 35$ after, drinks not included so needs to be bought separately, but i can get about 10-15 plates and unlimited sides, thats a steal! Their average sushi is about 18$, so over all if you get a side or two, roll, and a handroll you're already over 30$, so the price works really well for me The Eel was really good, octopus was very fresh, and overall the food is amazing, and the place is super clean. Your staff was super nice, and lovely to talk too Ill definitely be coming back Thank you!

Lester is a great person. Gave great recommendations. It’s been a min since I have gone to Asahi. Beautiful restaurant!

We have been regulars here for almost 6 years. We love the carpaccios, garlic salmon sushi, and LuvLuv roll. Always great food and service. We like the change they’ve made in the last year or so to be able to order the AYCE from our phones/QR code. I like their new policy that for the AYCE it is 4 pieces for 1 order of cut rolls, and for sushi it is one piece for 1 order. We love getting a variety of options this way and never over order. Some may be confused by this though if it’s your first time going. Just order more if you want more!

My friends and I came here for the first time and had an amazing experience, especially thanks to Aleida's recommendations and great service :) We'll definitely be back!

While the food was good and the first round ordering came within 15 minutes, after the second round it took an hour for the rest of our appetizers and sushi to come out. We asked two different servers what happened to our food, and one server claimed the kitchen was backed up while the other claimed we failed to submit our ticket into the kitchen. We were given a 20 percent discount for our troubles, but then we got the bill THEY ADDED 15% AUTO GRATUITY ONTO OUR BILL. so it went from 14.00 off to 0.70 off our total including tax. We would have argued for them to remove the gratuity but we were too tired to stay longer for that conversation. The server tried to claim there were signs posted outside that stated gratuity is included on the bill, but both my friend and I did NOT see signs that detailed this. For the outdoor seating, they didnt turn on warming lights until 9pm. By then my friend and I were miffed since we have been sitting outside since 7:30pm in the cold. They could have turned on the lights earlier so they do not leave their customers cold.

Can't go wrong with the AYCE, each roll is an absolute banger. Green Goblin is my new personal favorite. Visited this place many times, will return for quality of food and service for sure. Different folks enjoy different flavors and the menu makes sure to hit all the taste buds!The variety always seem to satisfy no matter what my mood is. 💯

Came in tonight and our waiter Andreas straight up crushed it. Dude was on point the entire time -- super friendly, actually knew the menu, gave honest recommendations, and made the whole experience feel way better than your average sushi spot. Food came out fast, everything was fresh, and Andreas made sure we were taken care of without ever hovering. You can tell he genuinely cares about his job and the people he's helping. If you go, ask for Andreas. He's THAT guy. Will definitely be coming back.

very delicious I like it A lot sushi options I very like the salmon welcome come here

Food is amazing! Staff is very attentive! Inside and outside seating is very clean and nice.

Service was amazing! Got sat down properly and they have an amazing AYCE menu selection. :) Jenny is the sweetest server, super prompt and attentive to our orders and drinks! The vibes are so good! :)

They have lowered the AYCE price, however they still charge a gratuity fee. The portions per roll are smaller 4 pieces. They use a tablet kiosk to order the food. Can be a long wait time to get seated especially during rush hour. Friendly staff and fresh sushi and fish.

ordered takeout, the presentation was not great. The rolls only come with 5 pieces instead of 8 and they are really chunky and not closed all the way through (rolls are open on their side). The owner said they should come with 6 although that is still not what we received. The scallop sushi is not nigiri, but two small rolls with bay scallops on top (the way it the sushi section is depicted on the menu is as nigiri, so that is what I expected). From my understanding, bay scallops are not typically used for raw sushi but rather cooked food dishes. Perhaps the restaurant in-dining experience is better as evidenced by others' reviews; however, this was my experience with TOGO here. If coming here for AYCE I can see the price and quality being sufficient. For takeout, price/quality/quantity wise, I still believe Ralphs has better presentation and bang for your buck as these 2 rolls and 2 sets of sushi still cost $20. If the owner's response is not open to criticism as evidenced by his response to my experience then this is definitely not a place I would return to.

Good food great service and satisfaction .. was a pleasure eating here. Thank you Aey

Everything was perfect food drinks the soju green grape was the best Also the service was all the time checking the best good work guys

Visited for the first time in many years. I noticed they upgraded the menu with new options and I believe they made portion size more manageable. Overall, we were not disappointed with the AYCE option. My main gripe is this restaurant is extremely small, and it feels like you're sitting shoulder to shoulder with others in all directions. Obviously, they're constrained by what they have to work with in space. Service was pretty good.

I did the all you can eat option and tried a variety of rolls and appetisers. All the food was amazing and I definitely had my fill. The staff was super friendly and always made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed.

I visited for $29.99 AYCE lunch and had a great time. The service from Patricia was friendly and helpful. The carpaccios were very delicious, but only 1 order of each per person. They have a variety of flavorful rolls and orders are placed online using their QR code. There's also patio seating if you want to sit outside. I'd just suggest management giving the restrooms some TLC.

Best service and Best Sushi in Riverside ! Katelin and Aey was a great part of this, they made it so enjoyable

The AYCE here is fantastic! Quality is surprisingly high, everything tasted fresh, and the service was quick and attentive. Clean and cozy place. Definitely coming back!

An update to my review from 15+ years ago. Yes, this place stays busy. At first I intended to order a la carte but ended up deciding on AYCE because of the price. They have a new QR system vs. paper method which helps speed up the process of getting your food. I appreciate that the rolls were half-sized to reduce waste. Some of the seafood was not the freshest so I didn't consume it. I also noticed the amount of my total bill was originally different than the final bill due an involuntary increase to the mandatory tip so customers, please be aware.

First of all, shout-out to our waiter Lester for being patient and attentive! He was very accommodating and good at explaining the ordering process. Always served with a smile too! Thank you! I haven't done AYCE here since pre-Covid, so it's been awhile and there's definitely been some changes! Gone is the ordering via pencil/paper and no more 3 rounds limit. Now, you scan a QR code and place your order that way. Rolls are generally 4 pieces/order (some exceptions), nigiris are 1 piece/order. Menu items are slightly different from what I remember (again pre-pandemic). There's some special nigiris now (like garlic salmon and lemon pepper tuna which were both yummy). Was sad to see one of my fav non-rice items gone, but it's been awhile, change is expected. The place was packed on a Friday night, but wait time wasn't too bad. Estimated 30 min, but I think we got a table in 20 min. My only negative is that I got a bit of a stomachache soon after. Considering how much I ate, it wasn't too bad, it could have just been 1 bad piece rather than a bad batch or prep. That's the risk with raw seafood.

One of the best AYCE in SoCal! David was a huge help getting our next orders! Thank you to so much for a great experience! The place was a great vibe with good music as well! The food was all delicious! Nigiri was all worth the price!

Let me preface by saying, the new and revamped menu is great and everything was delicious. We went on Veteran's Day for lunch and they were definitely not staffed well for the rush. Apparently something happened with the online ordering system and it never received our order. We just figured service was really slow. We had been there an hour and only had ever received the carpaccio (which was delicious might I add!) The sushi chefs did forget on a few rolls though, to not put cucumber due to a food allergy. Hopefully it was because of the system glitch, I will give them the benefit of the doubt. For the inconvenience, they comped us a salmon kama for the inconvenience. I will definitely return, hopefully on a less congested day to really let them shine!

Andres had excellent customer service. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and the food taste great I will be going back. Atmosphere was nice and the walls were clean.

I came in solo for all you can eat. The food was good, standard AYCE. I thought they closed at 9:30 but it's actually 9 so I had to hurry. My mistake. The server told me it was last call so I ordered everything. A little too much actually and I am very grateful the manager let me stay to eat as much as I could. What made it a 5 star experience for me was the service I received from the manager (possibly owner) in telling me to take my time. Thank you so much for your amazing customer service and support.

Amazing food and great service. Jenni was very attentive and helpful, made our dinner experience memorable! The luv luv is amazing t

Amazing customer service, the food came out quickly and was very delicious. Favorite sushi spot in Riverside

Love the food here, plus they have new items on the menu! The rice less options are amazing...this is the place to go. Yum

Food was great, service was just poor. I understand people make mistakes that's okay, but when we tell you we ordered yellowtail and you try and gaslight us into believing you gave us the right order then it becomes something else. After a bit of back and forth the waitress only seemed to tell us what we wanted to hear so she can just push it onto someone else, even when she told us it's the chefs fault for giving us the albacore and that she'll go get us the yellowtail right away. 20 minutes pass and she's no where to be found, we ask one of the wait-staff "excuse me we're still waiting on our sushi" he nods and tells us "okay let me check on that for you" (very professional young man btw) When she finally does come back she says very confusedly "Were you wanting to order more sushi?" "No, we're just waiting on our yellowtail" we say "OH yea, I'll go get that for you." 5min later she comes back with a plate of ALBACORE!!! Albacore tastes like bologna to us, we know the difference! Not only that, but it was warm how long had it been waiting to be picked up for!? It sounds like a small thing I know, but it's consistent. I like to bring groups with me when I eat, sometimes 4 - 8 people and that's why I said at the start people make mistakes. We're a big group and we're ordering a lot, it's okay if you forget something or bring us the wrong things we're all people. BUT I only brought my girlfriend and my girlfriend's sister this time and on a slow day. It's not an issue of being overwhelmed now, it's lack of training and I'm sorry, but small things like (what I've stated) can make or break it for some spots for us and from what everyone said after this experience we won't be coming back. Lesson: Get your sushi from sushi people, otherwise you'll just get warm sushi you didn't order. (Please show photos to staff)

It feels like it's impossible to get one person to stay long enough for you to order and get when you need. Definitely not with the price

My server, Andres, was amazing!! Very patient and attentive, plus his recommendations were solid. The quality of the salmon is always excellent. AYCE is definitely worth it. Loved the carpaccio

Super good! Thank you to the chefs! The waiters were super attentive and kind as well. Came on a Tuesday 10/28 around 4:30 and everything tasted fresh and was nicely prepared! Thank you!

The quality of the food and efficiency of service here is AMAZING! Also, whoever was on the aux/playlist that day, kudos to them. The staff were also very attentive. So I regularly frequent the Corona location (I don't believe this location is associated after some research?) but I came to this location with some friends recently. We got there on a Sunday right at 11:30AM when they opened and it filled up quickly but we were seated fast as a 6 person party. The QR code ordering is a game changer and I wish more locations did it this way as opposed to paper and pencil. I actually love the fact that each cut roll only has 4 pieces so you don't get too full and essentially taste everything. The seared lemon pepper and Cajun salmon nigiri, THE BEST and highly recommend. Every roll we tried was delicious and the carpaccio options were the best bites of sashimi fish I've had (and I've lived in Japan). I will be back with my whole family. I see this location becoming our go-to AYCE place once they've experienced it themselves.

It's been a long time since we came here! Tonight it was me and my wife and two grandkids! We ate like it was our last meal! Lots of help all over the place keeping up with all the dishes coming out of the kitchen! The fish was fresh and good!

Excellent food, good atmosphere! The service that the waiters have hear is so sweet! Definitely a good spot to satisfy your sushi craving. Daisy was very attentive and felt like she went out of her way to make my experience really enjoyable.

First time here. It was delicious. Service was fast, especially for a Friday evening. Food was fresh & flavorful. Our server Daisy was great! She checked on us often & was friendly. The vibe was super good too! Great music (throwback R&B) Will definitely be back!

Came here many years ago for my birthday, moved and now I'm back. Still just as good. I came here for lunch and I also ordered from here.. it's definitely a fave. I If I could eat here every day I would. I ordered the baked scallop roll 4pcs twice because it was soo yummy! It's fresh and a decent size. I also ordered the spicy tuna, and I gotta say I think this is the first time I ordered a spicy tuna roll 8pcs and it was actually spicy.. they use real spices.. I was pleasantly surprised.. I have also ordered to go here too, I got the roll combo and it came with 23pc of cut sushi rolls and a miso soup... ahh the best share meal or for one.. In the roll combo it included the Crunch Roll 5pcs, Tuna Roll 5pcs, Salmon Roll 5pcs, Spicy Tuna Roll 4pcs, California Roll 4pcs and they were all delicious the miso soup good too.. all were great and I would definitely order again! Service was great, for both dine in and take out. I was attended quickly and my food arrived promptly. The restaurant had plenty of seating both inside and out. They do have tvs around and bar seating.. it's great to grab lunch with a friend or a casual meal.

been doing take out more and more now they still offer the 3 for $24 deal but also includes the mandatory gratuity sauces come separate when ordered to go

Amazing food! Second time here and we had a great time celebrating a birthday! This will be a our go to place for AYCE sushi!! Thank you Sushi Asahi staff! Like my nephew said David's aura was popping! lol

The food here was amazing--everything we ordered tasted fresh and the nigiri was absolutely worth the price. The atmosphere really stood out too, with great music and a fun, energetic vibe that made the meal even more enjoyable. On top of that, the service was excellent; David Martinez was super helpful and kept our orders coming without long waits. Easily one of the best AYCE sushi spots in SoCal. Can't wait to come back!

‼Stay away‼!!!DANGER!!!‼Stay away‼ Staff takes no ownership even when raw chicken is served. They just say that is what their chicken looks like. No Manager available so they do not take care of the customer and act as if nothing happened. Riverside Health inspector will be notified CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION Avoid the male server that wears glass and has facial hair. Physically in the building, mentally checked out. Watch for facial hair in your food ‼This is one of the restaurants that charge auto tips, no matter the size of the party.‼ Would rather drive to Chino, Montclair, even Tustin, but will NEVER BE BACK. The risk is not worth it to get sick from raw chicken. Please share if you are reading and I will share with my co-workers, church members, and tennis team out of Andulka Park.

Great sushi, fast service. I would highly recommend this place! 10 out of 10! We always do the all you can eat and it never disappoints.

Everything was great. Food was so delicious! Service was exemplary, thank you to our server Katelin who was very attentive. Will definitely be returning again soon!

OH MY GOD I always come down to this sushi restaurant and it honestly never fails me. Today we got the sweetest server (Jenni) she honestly made the experience here so nice. She made sure we always had waters and made sure our orders came out really fast! I will definitely be coming again!

Our go to spot for some BOMB Sushi, TONS of options, friendly staff, quality food. 10/10 Andres the best waiter

The food was great. It came out quickly and it seemed fresh. The staff was friendly. We got the AYCE, so they give you this little QR code that you scan and then you can just order everything in your phone. It was so convenient and then you can call your server over that way and request the check. 10/10 will return soon.

I've been coming here for years!!!!!! But today Katelin was the sweetest girl ever. She has the best hospitality mood I've seen thus far. And the chefs, kisses to you gentlemen for always giving me the best of the best.

Very disappointed in this restaurant. Service was very slow, we didn't get most of our order, and we needed to leave suddenly due to an emergency. They were able to package part of our order, and didn't charge a to go fee, which was magnanimous si ce yhe bilk for 4 was $170. We were regulars for years but will not return.

Great service tonight! Had a lovely server, Katelin who was very attentive and friendly. She made great recommendations on rolls and we loved them . Highly recommend waiting if you see a line they are usually quicker than your quoted wait time.

Great ayce spot at pretty good prices. Really enjoyed eating here and service was quick with the orders that you do through a QR code.

When I tell you that this is some of the best sushi I've had!! Seriously, we were impressed with the quality and richness in flavor of this sushi. It was our first time here and it'll definitely not be our last. We came with friends and did the all you can eat option. We got to try several items on the menu and everything was so good. The veggie tempura was one of my favorite sides! The service was great. They refilled our waters constantly without us having to ask. The spot itself had the AC on and it felt nice compared to the warm weather outside. The tables, just as in most similar restaurants, were close to each other making the aisles a little tight to get through, but it was manageable.

I've been coming to this location as a riverside local for 15 years. There was a recent change to using online ordering with QR codes. Since this change, it's nearly impossible to get someone to your table. I left the restaurant tonight and let the staff know I was leaving after barely eating because I couldn't get service and he said he would give me a discount next time. I'm not sure how he knows he will be there next time I go and who I am. Highly disappointed and won't likely be back any time soon.

We had such a great experience thanks to our waitress, Katelin! She was incredibly attentive and friendly from the moment we sat down. Katelin took the time to walk us through the new menu and explain some of the new items, which really helped us decide what to try. She also gave fantastic recommendations--everything she suggested was fresh and delicious. I really appreciated how she made sure we understood the new ordering process and checked in often without ever making us feel rushed. Excellent service like this makes a big difference.

Jenny the waitress was awesome great services was so nice! 10/10 Great food and good atmosphere and they work so fast if you want great service hospitality and great food this is the place for you Ty Jenny

Servers are always nice, been coming every Friday or so now for a month or so because it's really that good, and we have sushi money of course!! today I tried the new menu and all you can eat special, it was delicious, our server Adrian was extra nice! They play all kinds of good music here, gets crowded but luckily I've never had to wait for a super long time.
