Where to Eat & Drink in Temecula Valley - Eater San Diego

"Helmed by Tokyo transplant and self-taught chef Kiyokuni Ikeda (who worked under Iron Chef Morimoto in Philadelphia) Umi Sushi & Oyster Bar was voted second best casino restaurant in the country by USA Today in 2018. While raw bar selections, sushi, and sashimi are all top-notch — including the oyster shooters and hotate ceviche — don’t miss the robata street corn with kewpie mayonnaise and togarashi, or seafood steam pot – a winning combination of crab, shrimp, fish, mussels, clams, corn, and potatoes in a fresh herb white wine broth." - Keri Bridgwater

I was at Pechanga for some conferences, I did not see this restaurant earlier because I was only playing at the casino after hours and I was distracted, until the last day that I was staying there, (after losing and winning at the casino hahaha) I happened to go back and see this medium-sized gem restaurant, it is stunning the cleanliness and the decor is on point. After we waited around 7 minutes to be seated our waiter was polite and knowledgeable on every question about the menu, The pictures I posted are for his recommendation which we kindly followed after some talk with him, From the appetizers to the main dishes everything felt original, You can see in the middle of the restaurant how the prepare your order, the raw tuna was amazingly fresh and tender, like butter melting in your mouth, the same with the wagyu beef, even the experience to cook it was nice, it was our first time doing this, the pork was savory, tender and juicy they were pair with some sweet potatoes fries with honey glaze dip. If I return to Pechanga Resort I definitely would eat more than once there!!! Ohhh! And please try the sake it had a taste like melon it was refreshing but be careful with the alcohol percentage haha.

Awesome service! My eyes got a little bigger then my stomach. Very delicious and extremly attentive staff. Tasted like japan. Tried the Temecula roll which is pretty much a Califora roll with spicy tuna and tons of sauce so american sushi. The macha mille crepe cake was 100 percent japan green tea cake. Will be back!

Umi is a hidden gem in Temecula seriously. Located inside Pechanga Casino. Food : By far this place has one of the best fried shishito peppers I have ever had! I actually went back twice just for that! It is a must! My husband ordered a steak and lobster.I know it’s a sushi place but as a sushi lover like I am but he doesn’t eat anything raw,So I’m glad they have this option for him and it was great as well! All sushi and sashimi are fresh and delicious! Service : So far we have had a great servers and not disappointed.They always came by and make sure everything was good,Never have to ask for anything twice. Vibe : Modern,Light and bright! You can sit at the bar,Gambling,Have some drinks with food as well. Do we wanna come back for the third fourth or fifth time?! Heck yes!

The perfect restaurant to celebrate my birthday with family. The weight staff is very friendly and professional. There were a lot of options on the menu to choose from, which I like, because I’m not the biggest fan of sushi. We got edamame as an appetizer, and everybody ordered what they wanted food wise. The seafood feast is really something to marvel at. I got fillet and lobster and it was delicious. They even brought a dessert to celebrate my birthday. I got two Stellas’s to go with my meal and they hit good. I will definitely come back to celebrate again.

One of my favorite places to eat at Pechanga. I ordered the shishito peppers as a starter, and as you can see in the photo, it's definitely shareable. I recommend the Salmon Crunch roll and the Pechanga roll. They also start you off with bread, something you don't see at every sushi restaurant, the bread is always fresh and warm, and the butter that they serve it with is Amazing. The prices are equal to most sushi places, so not bad considering this is a high-end sushi place inside a casino. I definitely recommend making reservations online. I've ate here multiple times and have never had a bad experience.

My partner and I decided to have dinner here with golf friends, I was quite surprised at how reasonably priced this sushi restaurant was… the portions were huge, we ordered way too much. The food did not come out fast but we were busy enjoying ourselves, when it did come out the rest of the dishes were rollin out quickly. Ordered Beef stick Crunch roll Spicy tuna Veggie Tempura As mentioned, it was more than enough for the both of us. One of our friends ordered the lobster roll and it was absolutely huge. Partner said it was delish, fresh and had a nice crunch. P.S Random – Ask for sourdough rolls, they are delicious and pairs well with the clam chowder!

Bryce our server was awesome; everyone one of his recommendations were on-point. Compliments to the sushi chef; every order was unique and delicious. Bartender is deserving of a raise too! Thoroughly enjoyed the Japanese Old Fashioned's. Thank you.

I attended a concert in The Summit and made a reservation for dinner at 8:45pm. Lucky for me I did because the hostess was turning away prospective diners stating that the earliest opening would be 10:30pm. I was led by the hostess to a nice booth for two (thank you!) even though I was dining alone. I ordered a Hendricks and tonic and the sashimi platter and the sushi platter. My server was apologetic about the wait for my food ... no problem, I was in no hurry. The sashimi platter came first; the only item I didn't care for were the two pieces of seared fish. I prefer my sashimi sans any preparation. There was a long wait for the sushi platter but it gave me an opportunity to people watch. The sushi could have been arranged more artfully because there was a large empty space on one side of the rectangular platter. I managed to finish all but three pieces of the crab roll. I thought the rice was a little mushy; I was in Japan for 3 weeks and came to appreciate the firmness of the rice there. Did I expect world-class Japanese food in Temecula? No, but it was fresh and, with a few exceptions, tasted good. I thought the price was reasonable ($126.36 + $28 tip) and the service was great. Four+ stars.

I finally got a chance to try some food here. My husband and I were staying at the resort and stopped here for a late night snack. The steak sticks were so flavorful and tender! The mochi ice cream was colorful and not too sweet. The bartender was fabulous and attentive, even with it being mothers day. Next time I would love to try some actual sushi. Ambiance was pretty busy, since it was a holiday.

Stayed one night here and wanted to try this place out. Sadly I was very disappointed, I ordered the sushi platter, japanese sweet potato fries, the spider roll, and poke tacos. The tuna had a very fishy taste, most of the fish felt dried out and the king crab sushi piece was so bland. I normally don't use a lot of soy sauce but i had to add flavor somehow. There was a small piece of plastic on the first of my nigiri pieces. I assumed it was a fish scale but looking closer it was a rectangular piece of plastic. They were closing and did last call, so I ordered poke tacos to go so I could eat it in the room. When I opened the container of poke, there was a short white hair on top of all the poke. I brushed it off and tried to enjoy to poke but then I found another hair deeper inside the poke. I felt so nauseous I had to stop eating. The best pieces were the scallop nigiri, spider roll, japanese sweet potato fries, and water. For the prices they charge, this was not worth it at all. There's better AYCE sushi places in LA for much cheaper than the sushi platter.

Casinos and Sushi go together like Casinos and Steakhouses... most have both and they're usually a good choice. Umi Sushi at the Pechanga Resort and Casino did not disappoint, at least on the food. Cocktails here were OK, but nothing was super great. I had a wasabi mezcal cocktail, a Japanese whiskey sour, and a Japanese old fashioned and they were drinkable, but I didn't want another one of any of them. Food wise, we had an assortment at the table and the following 6 items were enough for 3 guys and 1 girl: Pork Belly - It wasn't crispy, but it was good, nonetheless. Poke Tacos - These were great and bigger than most I've had Tuna Carpaccio - Wow at the crunchy garlic which made the dish UMI Sunset Roll - The soy paper was a nice change of pace from a normal roll, and the real crab was awesome Orange Ray Roll - This had a nice fresh flavor Temecula Fire - Nice Spice and excellent roll. Loved the blistered peppers. We didn't partake in the oyster bar portion, but it didn't look anything like a classic Las Vegas Oyster Bar (like Palace Station or South Point). But for Sushi, I'd go again... and maybe stick with Sake or Beer unless you have a cocktail that is calling your name... I hate when that happens!

I've been here many times and I've not reviewed this yet! Inlove the inside and decor of this place. Its vibe is chill and pleasing aesthetically. The oysters here are indeed very good. I ordered some sort of lobster roll and a spider roll type. The sushi is small but it was pretty good. When its less rice and the meat quality is good, you want to order more! My server every time I come have been great. On top of refilling water and making sure I'm good. It is very pricey here, but then again it's in a casino.

We went here as we were deciding on where to eat. My wife and I had $55 dollars worth of food comp and on top of that another $48 dollar worth of points we accumulated while playing for that day. This place is pretty pricey, but we needed to use the comps. We got the oysters and the sushi platter. The oysters were $50 dollars and the sushi was $55 dollars if I can recall. We were not that hungry however for dinner as we ate at Knott's Berry Farm before arriving here. Service was excellent and we were well taken care of. It was not much food as shown on the picture, but we were able to make due and we were not too hungry.

When we first arrived here, we were seated promptly in a booth. We ordered fried shishito peppers, beef skewers, a spicy tuna roll, a garlic fried hamachi roll, poke tacos, and a tuna carpaccio. My favorites were the beef skewers and the tuna carpaccio. The beef was so tender and juicy. Delicious! I felt the rolls were underwhelming compared to the places I've eaten at in the San Gabriel Valley. The spicy tuna rolls were not spicy at all. Overall, I really liked the service here. I would definitely come back for the beef tenderloin skewers, poke tacos, and the tuna carpaccio.

Per usual, service was phenomenal. As for the food we started off with the beef skewers. The meat was super flavorful and tender. Then we had an avocado roll and the sushi platter. Solid cuts of fish. All the pieces were large. We ended it with the Japanese cheesecake which was light and fluffy and we highly recommend! Will definitely come again.

Located in Pechanga casino off the 15 freeway, the Sushi bar is a welcoming restaurant with a fully stocked bar. That is what brought me in to watch a Sunday night football game. I sat at the bar and ordered a cosmo and the Chilean Sea Bass. The cosmo came out fast and was good. On the pricey end at $17, but that is to be expected. The food took a little longer than usual, but the staff were nice. The fish, however, was really good. The one downside was there was way too many broccoli on the plate. It would have been nice to have another miso inspired side paired with it in lieu of all the broccoli. All in all, a good dining experience and I would definitely recommend and return.

Looking for a unique dining experience for 2025? Well look no more! This place is wonderful! When you come ask for Dylan to be your waiter. He has the best suggestions and truly empathizes with allergies. We had the lobster roll, shrimp tempura, poke tacos and Pinot Grigio (Santa Margarita) Dress up or don't but come and enjoy. You will not be disappointed.

Dining at Pechanga is always a treat, especially when eating at Umi Sushi and Oyster Bar! We got their hamachi crudo, sushi platter, sashimi salad, beef skewers, and Pechanga roll! I've never had a hamachi crudo with watermelon, but it was so light and refreshing and probably my favorite appetizer! Their sushi and sashimi was so fresh, and the beef skewers were very tender and paired well with the pickled onions and sauce that came with it. The service was really great and they have amazing drinks to pair with your meal as well. It's so convenient when Pechanga has so many delicious restaurants on property, so you can play on the game floor, get a quick bite to eat, and head up to your room to relax!

Food was actually better than expected. We loved everything we ordered except the Matcha Mille Cake. It needs more cream and crepes should be more thinner for a buttery texture. Service was amazing, ambiance is nice and clean. Thank you!

Located in the Pechanga Casino and Resort, near the Casino Tower and in a pocket of the resort where you'll find a couple other eateries, you'll find Umi. Umi means sea/ocean in Japanese and the wonderful backdrop wall of the waves/ocean hints to this. Our server Jade did a great job with us this past holiday weekend and was on top of things. We ordered some hot saki and some Sapporo to wash down the following we ordered. Everything was very good. Fried Shishito Peppers Tempura batter, eel sauce, spicy aioli, togarashi These were excellent and loved the sauces that went with it. They were all good sized and I loved that it was tempura battered. Clam Chowder Potatoes, bacon, celery, onions, fennel Sushi Platter Tuna, yellowtail, salmon, red snapper, scallops, sweet shrimp, king crab, spicy salmon roll Lobster Roll Lobster, avocado, mango, wasabi, cream sauce, eel sauce, deep fried Spider Roll Softshell crab, avocado, crab, cucumber, eel sauce, spicy aioli

We ate here last night with a large group and everything was so amazing! We ordered the oysters, pork belly, hamachi crudo and chicken wings to start, and for entrees we did the ribeye, sea bass, and a few rolls. My all time faves I'll be back for are the sea bass and the Temecula Fire roll, and the pork belly too! I'm already craving the flavors of the sea bass, which was cooked to perfection and flaked just how I like it! Our server was great and the ambience/decor were nice. Definitely make reservations if you can - it can get packed on weekends!

Little overpriced but a decent experience. All of the fish that we had tried was very pungent and fresh. Little small slip up that I just so happen to notice while ordering my beverage. There was no beer selection on the menu whatsoever. This is a Japanese restaurant, and no Asahi in sight. But in the end they actually did have Asahi. You just have to ask your waiter/waitress, and they will bring it from the back. Not sure why it wasn't on the menu. One star deducted for not having a beer selection on the current menu. Almost ruined my experience while eating. I've been to Japan about 4 times now, and I always drink with my sashimi/sushi when visiting.

This restaurant isn't worth the price. The atmosphere is (obviously) casino-esque with noisy gambling and multiple tvs. The food is overpriced for the small portions, though the cod and hamachi was at least tender. They had friendly service, but unfortunately, that's not enough to bring me back.

While the employees are incredible, Pechanga is not the CA resort you want to visit. Other resorts within the area are much more player friendly and focused. Over the past few months, you will observe fewer jackpots and smaller wins. Unlike other local CA resorts and Las Vegas resorts, you seem to get a much better chance to break even or maybe even win. Pechanga on the other hand, it seems that you cannot even have fun anymore. There is no "win a little" that allows one to enjoy some back and forth play time. It seems that over time, they have become too big for the casual playing individual. we all know that you don't play to win, but at least you should be able to enjoy a few hours of entertainment.

My wife and I went to the UMI bar to have cocktails and play Video poker around 2PM. Our bartender Justin prepares excellent martinis. We were talking about dinner and he suggested If we wanted meat we try the Mishima American Wagyu. The Tenderloin(aka Filet Mignon). It was part of their Surf and Turf menu item. He talked to the Chef and did a filet only. Food was not served until 5PM. We shared a Mishima Wagyu filet Mignon and I requested that the steak be cut in 2 pieces (buttered flayed) The chef did it perfectly. The potato was large enough for more than 2 people which we split. It came with broccolini and baby carrots, they were grilled and lightly seasoned. The steak was served over a carrot purée with a delicious demi-glaze sauce for the steak. For an appetizer, we ordered the rock shrimp tempura , it was hot crispy and had a wonderful flavor. It was served with a delicious Ponzu sauce. Justin was not only an excellent bartender, but an amazing server, clearly, five star service, and food. Went back the following night for drinks @ the UMI bar. Stephanie the bartender made my wife what she called the perfect martini with delicious ice crystals, chilled to perfection. Margie's review was (5 star) for that martini.

Great customer service! We arrived to our dinner reservation 15-20 min late due to heavy weekend/Halloween traffic. The restaurant was able to still honor our reservation. They also gladly seated us even though half of our party was still looking for parking. As soon as we were seated, we were greeted by our wonderful waiter. Our waiter gave us the menus and kept checking up on us even though our party had not arrived yet. Eventually when our whole party arrived, we began ordering food and drinks. We ordered the Grilled Mushrooms, the Fried Shishito Peppers, the Sushi Platter, the Temecula Fire roll, and the Umi roll. In addition, I ordered the Garden Moscow Mule. Our whole party enjoyed our food. It was very fresh and satisfying. I highly recommend the Grilled Mushrooms. They were greatly seasoned. The Garden Moscow Mule was also very refreshing. It was made with muddled fresh ingredients such as mint, cucumbers, and blueberries. It was also my friend's birthday and the waiter brought out a birthday dessert. It was chocolate covered, chocolate mouse, with raspberry sauce, and raspberries. The dessert was delicious! Great balance of sweet and tart. Overall, I enjoyed the food, service, and free parking. I'll most likely return if I am ever in the Temecula area again.

We had dinner here for Father's Day. Went up to the hostess to ask for a wait time on a table for two,she couldn't provide a wait time was waiting on someone to be able to provide that time. Sit down area looked busy but bar area had open spots. We sat at the bar area and were acknowledged shortly after. I didn't save the receipt to add my bartender's name here but he was very helpful and professional. All of the other staff who checked in on us as well had amazing hospitality. We ordered spicy edamame, lobster roll, spider roll and a ribeye steak. The bartender also offered us a basket of rolls to eat while they prepared the order. The rolls were warm and crispy. The basket came with a side of warm butter easy to spread. Bartender brought us a dish with ginger and wasabi. The spicy edamame came out and it was delicious. The lobster roll was next out and it was amazing and the crunch was satisfying. The spider roll came out and although it was good I was disappointed with the roll structure. The roll fell apart when picked up and the portion cuts were bad. The ribeye finally came out and it looked amazing. I sampled the ribeye and it was good perfect medium rare. The ribeye came with carrots and mash potatoes. I did sample the carrots and they were good nothing special. I didn't get to try the mash potatoes but they said they were pretty good. We ended our dinner with the bartenders dessert recommendation which was the Spring Fruits Vacherin and that was definitely the best dessert we have tried so far in our stay here at the resort. Not overly sweet it was perfect, the ice cream and the fruits were delicious along with the hard shell you crack open. Paid $148 and some change we didn't order drinks we had water. Would definitely come back again and try other menu items. The ambiance at the bar area was nice they had two tvs playing sports highlights and you can see the slots area as well.

I dined here after the Jung Dong Ha / SoHyang concert so the place was packed at 8:45pm. Luckily, I made a reservation because the hostess was telling those without reservations to come back at 10:30pm. I waited a bit but the hostess took me to a very nice corner booth ... thank you! I started with a Hendricks gin and tonic and ordered the sashimi platter and the sushi platter. The sashimi was good to very good ... the sushi was fine but nothing special. The crab roll was just okay. I managed to eat all but three pieces of the crab roll ... if it were special, I'd have finished it. Did I expect world-class Japanese food in Temecula? No, but it was fresh and tasted good. I thought the price was reasonable ($126.36 + $28 tip). Four stars.

The next time you visit pechanga be sure to stop at umi sushi restaurant. My favorite is the bar attached to the right. It's the service that is most important. Special mention goes to Andrew, Frankie, Stephanie, Justin, my man David, and a great manager Cole. It doesn't get better than this!

Umi sushi and oyster bar is a fine dining table service restaurant with great friendly staff. The restaurant is warm and lively. The ambiance was fun, energetic and a bit louder than normal but we loved it. The yellowtail crudo and poke tacos appetizers were incredible. They exploded with flavor and deliciousness. For dinner I had the iconic surf and turf. The Australian lobster was enormous, and yummy. It was paired with a perfectly cooked and seasoned filet mignon. This was an amazing meal from start to finish. We absolutely loved everything about this innovative restaurant. They were serving up expert culinary art.

Surprisingly delicious sushi in the middle of the casino. Recommend sitting at the bar - the service is super attentive and friendly. The bar chairs are also extremely comfy, you'll want to sit there all night. Sushi was very fresh and generously cut. Poke tacos were fantastic. Crispy shell filled with fresh ahi tuna and a side of guacamole. The surprise gem are their tempura peppers - perfect balance of crunch, heat and flavor - and it is a generous portion! The picture was half the order because we dove in too fast before I got a picture . Looking forward to our next visit!

We have been to UMI so many times and we have always had the best service! David, literally the best person there is always so attentive, friendly, and just so welcoming. We usually sit at the bar but today we sat at a table in the bar and he went out of his way to come and say hello and make us feel welcome. I am adding 5 stars to the review, but if there were 100 stars, I'd give him that. This guy deserves a raise and more, just awesome! Everyone else there is super friendly as well, he has just gone above and beyond every time and we love running into him. Check it out, best place to dine! Food and service is the best!

Stopped by for a snack after some gambling and celebration lol. Arrived 30 minutes before closing time, they accepted us and welcome us in. Friendly staff over all and front hostess. The restaurant is right before you enter the casino floor from the resort side. It's a good place to remember if you're lost and need to go back to your room lol. Pechanga is a really big casino/resort. We got some drinks when we sat down at the bar area. They have a good variety of drinks to choose from. I got the clam chowder, edamame and lobster roll. I totally forgot what my cousin ordered but it's in the picture attached to the review. It was a raw sushi roll, I don't eat anything raw but I tried it that night and it was actually pretty good! At the end, our waiter gave my cousin a chocolate cake with lighted candle in celebration for his birthday. Our waiter was really helpful and interactive with us. The menu have variety of soups & salad, smalls plates, entrees, cut rolls, sashimi and a sea food platter. A little something for everyone in your party.

Umi Sushi is located within the Pachanga Casino and Resort (kind of near the front desk...so a good location) and I was totally incredulous when I was told this place had really great sushi. Spoiler: I should have listened to my gut We made reservations and were seated after a small wait (despite there being many tables open). The décor was very modern and sleek looking. The menu isn't very expansive...so we ended up ordering the beef skewers, pork belly, shishito peppers, lobster roll, spider roll, and temecula fire. When everything arrived at the table, I noticed that most of the items were deep fried....innterressting.... The beef skewers tasted fine. They came in a pair and were pretty tender. The pork belly was drowning in a soy-based sauce and was INCREDIBLY tender, but I think the sauce almost washed/diluted the flavor. The shishito peppers were good. Instead of being blistered, they were deep fried and served with a dipping sauce. The lobster roll (also deep fried) tasted okay, but the flavor was very muddled. The spider roll was good, but the soft shelled crab (deep fried) was not as crispy as I thought it should be. The roll itself was good, but nothing to write home about. The temecula fire was probably my favorite (but that isn't say much). It was advertised as spicy, but wasn't very spicy. It contained its own serving of shishito peppers (deep fried) plopped in the middle of the sushi roll. The sauce that peppers and sushi roll were slathered in was pretty tasty, but also took away from the more delicately flavored seafood. This place is definitely good for those who are trying to get their deep fried fix.

This is one of our most frequented restaurants in the Temecula area. The food is excellent, the ambiance is fun and service is always phenomenal. Some of our fave menu items include the Hamachi Crudo, Beef Skewers, Spider Roll and Temecula Fire Roll. The Ribeye is absolutely amazing too! If you are dining here be sure to ask for Bryce...although all of the servers are amazing, he is our fave!

Another destination restaurant inside a casino. Seems like sensory overload. We started with the oysters and you could taste the sweet freshness. Things just kept getting better, it made my head spin. We felt very special, the wait staff was very attentive without feeling like they were rushing us along. Thank you for the total experience.

Great sushi, many choices that you can choose from and more choices for appetizers, but the edemame in garlic soy sauce is fantastic. Had a wonderful Old Fashioned with Japanese whiskey made by Ernesto.

This is the second time that we have dined here. The first time was about seven months ago, but on this return visit, we went back as our first meal was really good. It was just as good this time. Although this resort has lots of restaurants, this is one of our favorite. The quality of the sushi, creativity of the dishes, and excellent service are the reasons we would return again next time. We got just one of the items that we had last time, but all of the items we chose were different. And they were all delicious. We got a mix of some carpaccio, rolls and sushi - you honestly can't go wrong with any of them. Our server was outstanding and made some great recommendations on dishes. Some of our favorite dishes are: - hamachi crudo - sushi platter - scallop sushi - pechanga roll - crunch salmon roll The decor and seating is modern and upscale. There's also a bar if you prefer to eat there. I was not expecting to find such incredibly good quality sushi and creativity in Temecula, but they have absolutely nailed it. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful anniversary meal at Umi on Saturday evening. Robert provided perfect service. Attentive but not bothersome. He even provided us with a nice little dessert for our celebration. The atmosphere was perfect. Not too loud but busy. The food we ordered was presented beautifully and so tasty. Thanks for a great night.

Excellent meal, most memorable eel sashimi that melts in your mouth, house salad that pleases the eye as well as the palate. Also loved grilled mushrooms and prawns. High end food and first-class service.
