10 Best Japanese Restaurants in Murrieta

“We are here for the first time this month and they were so friendly and the food was amazing! Upon walking in there is no fish smell (huge plus with a sushi restaurant) and the sushi masters and servers were so friendly. We will definitely be back. Tried the dodger roll and garlic edamame and they were delish!“

“Our food was delicious! Employees were very nice and helpful. We will definitely go back!“

“esta bueno , el servicio bastante rápido, hay mucha variedad“

“The sushi was good and beautifully presented. The fish tasted good but was oddly a little dry. The wasabi and ginger looked old and dry like it had been sitting for a while.
The portions were good. The staff and atmosphere were both excellent. Food was priced well. I will go back and try it again.“

“Beautiful presentations and super delicious dishes such as awesome sushi combination plates, a huge sushi salad with more fish varieties than veggies 🥗 🍣 🍱 and a special birthday surprise which is my new favorite birthday cake with mouth watering green apple covered with caramels and chocolate and nuts all sliced up into thin pieces forming a caterpillar 🐛 topped with whipped cream and cherries 🍒 !“

The sushi was fresh and delicious, and everything was beautifully presented. The atmosphere was cozy, making it a perfect spot for a nice dinner. We had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to come back with our children!“

“Food is good. Favorite chef Iggy is great. HOWEVER... I had a very bizarre experience eating there last night... I came in about 5:30 and ordered my food - all you can eat from a sushi list menu. Everything good so far. Two other people came in separately sat in the chairs next to me. They ordered their food and ate. We talked for about an hour. The server brought me a bill which included all three tabs. I told the cashier that I had ordered individually and expected to pay for my own meal as I always do and not for the other two. The woman, who said she was the manager, told me that I could not pay individually as it was their policy not to split tabs on three or more people who were apparently together on more than two credit cards. WHAT? I have eaten there many times before, talked to others near me. This is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. There were no signs on the wall indicating that if you ate next to other people and collectively tried to pay with more than two credit cards, they would not allow you to do that. The others said they would pay their tabs on a single card. I was off the hook. As far as the manager/server goes, what kind of an intellectual genius would make up and try to "enforce" a policy like that? I've eaten there on and off for years. Make no mistake. I'm never eating there again.“

“I think the food is ok, over priced for dinner. 200.00 for three people. Yikes, they use breast of chicken which can get hard after grilling, the beef is ok, but not tender. The only that was good was the veggies“

“Sapporo Sushi – Murrieta

If you’re looking for a solid AYCE sushi spot, Sapporo Sushi is the move. Tucked in a shopping center in Murrieta, this place has been our go-to sushi fix for the past 2 years and for good reason.

We always go for the AYCE and try a variety of rolls, nigiri, appetizers, you name it. The service is always super friendly, and even when it’s busy, they still manage to keep things moving fast without cutting corners. Everything comes out fresh and in a good rhythm, so you’re never just sitting there waiting and getting hangry.

They did recently bump up their prices, which is a bit of a bummer but honestly, the quality is still on point, and you get what you pay for. We’ve never left disappointed — always full, happy.

Definitely recommend if you’re craving sushi and want that AYCE experience done right.“
