38 Best Sushi Bars near Murrieta

“We love Joons, only place we go in Temecula“

“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 🍒 !“

“We visited this sushi place for the first time, and it was fantastic! The staff greeted us warmly and seated us right away. They were attentive and gave great recommendations.

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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“I freaking love sushi and this place has to be the best in the area when it comes to quality of food. Now normally I will crush an AYCE because I love to eat a lot of sushi, but if I’m looking for great tasting quality stuff, this is the spot. In my recent visit, I sat at the bar and the chefs were very nice and friendly. There was a list of items of fresh fish that they offered on the wall and they all exceeded my expectations. One of my favorites was the blue fin spicy tuna hand roll. I will definitely be back for that.“

“food and service are awesome !@“

“The food is great but service is lacking and frustrating.
We've ordered through their app to pick up twice. The first time we got there right at our pick up time they told us our order had been erased/cancelled. They were able to put it in again and we were out the door in less than 10 min.
The second time we ordered and went to pick up they were behind by over 20 min. Not fun when you go as a family to pick up and you're stuck waiting with your 8 month old and 5 year old. They weren't busy but had only one cook/chef at the time.
Don't get me wrong, we've found their sushi to be the best in the area but they need to fix the app or something to display realistic pick up times.“

“Good place and staff 👍 I’m recommend this place“

“One of my go-to spots for sushi in Temecula!
Sushi Boat at the Promenade Mall never disappoints. The fish is always fresh, the portions are generous, and the service is quick and friendly. I love sitting by the boat and picking out what looks good in the moment – it’s such a fun and unique experience.

Some favorites: the spicy tuna, salmon nigiri, and tempura rolls are always solid. And their miso soup hits the spot every time. Prices are reasonable for the quality you get, and it’s a great place to grab lunch or dinner while shopping or before catching a movie.

Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving sushi! 🍣👌“

“Came here after leaving the gym next door. Let me just say this will forever be my go to after finishing my workouts. Shout out to Trinity who recommended some of the best rolls and sushi. One of the best experiences by far thanks to her fun energy. They also have ramen options for those who have a spouse who doesn’t like sushi.“

“Recommended! Great delicious food and great service!“

“Delish sushi selections . Our family’s favorite“

“Excellent service great food“

“Always a good time with amazing staff! And being pregnant the thoughtfulness of the chef offering different items for me will have me and my family coming back! Keep it up!!“

“Took both my kids here. My 11 year old son is not a fan of sushi partly because mom gets him the Starter brothers brand. I told him to have an open mind and so I ordered him the crunchy rolls. At first he was hesitant but once he took the first bite his eyes lid up and he tore through his dish like there was no tomorrow. We got the Mexican, Philly cheese, salmon and crunchy rolls and all were amazing!!“

“Very large array of unique sushi! Definitely recommend if you want to spoil yourself“

“Amazing sushi. The unagi could be dinner all by itself“

“Great place and great service“

“This place is the best sushi place in town!! We ordered 3 sushi rolls and they were all so good and fresh and I really liked the salmon volcano roll! The service was so amazing and servers were so friendly. I will definitely come back soon.“

“I was in need of some serious comfort food. As a lover of asian cuisine, this place sounded perfect. From my first step in Christine was not only attentive, professional and helpful, she made my meal much more enjoyable. I had all you can eat sushi from her recommendation. SHE WAS NOT WRONG! As I made my way through the menu it was evident that the ingredients were fresh and the chefs are true professionals. An absolute GEM here in the city of Temecula CA!
INKed approved! Highly recommended.“

“Always AMAZING service. Sweetest folks work here. Best poke place I’ve ever tried. Always fresh, always tasty. Better come get some.

Special shoutout to Rey. He makes the best poke bowls, has exceptional customer service skills.“

“Prepare yourself for an experience that transcends the ordinary. From the moment I stepped inside, I was utterly captivated by the flawless harmony of every element in this remarkable establishment. It was as if I had been transported into another world—a world where every detail has been meticulously crafted to create a symphony for the senses.

The sushi… where do I even begin? It was nothing short of an astonishing masterpiece. Every bite was a delicate balance of textures, an explosion of flavors so sublime that it left me speechless. The freshness, the precision, the artistry—each piece felt like it was prepared with the utmost reverence for the ingredients, turning a simple meal into an unforgettable experience.

The staff, too, are not just kind—they exude warmth and professionalism in every gesture. Attentive without being intrusive, they make you feel as if you’re the most important person in the room. Their dedication to service is a testament to the care this restaurant pours into every aspect of its guest experience.

And the ambiance? It’s more than decor—it’s an atmosphere that wraps around you, inviting you to stay just a little longer, to savor every moment. The thoughtfulness behind the design, the soft lighting, the elegant yet inviting furnishings—it all blends together into something truly special. The vibe is nothing less than a reflection of the restaurant’s soul: stylish, refined, and utterly magnetic.

To say the food is of high quality and flavorful would be an understatement. It’s an experience that goes beyond taste—it’s a journey that awakens your palate, challenges your expectations, and leaves you with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for having discovered such a hidden gem.“

“Delicious food. Super friendly staff. Will definitely go back!“

“Sweet Sapporo roll was very good. As well as the salmon roll. The salmon sashimi was very fresh and tasty. The service was good and the atmosphere was good too. I recommend this place very much.

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat“

“We love this place!!! Incredible quality and value !!!“

“From the moment I walked in, the gentleman who assisted me was both courteous and patient. I don’t order this type of food very often, but I found it frequently more and more delicious. This place did not disappoint me! All that’s left, is for me to come back again and again.

And they make boba!!!! ? pow ?

The boba was great!

They were a little busy but handled my order pretty quickly.

Overall. This place, as they say, slaps!“

“If you want authentic Japanese food for a small group of friends, family, or coworkers then eat here. The prices are decent, the food is delicious if you're in the mood for flavorful, spicy, or just miso soup. The restaurant is small so not the best place to host a large gathering.“

“I absolutely love the atmosphere of this place. The staff is so friendly. I love that they greet you when you come in. The food is amazing and there is always plenty to take home.“

“Highly Recommend! I've been coming to this delicious spot since they first opened their doors over four years ago! A great family run business with amazing food. Just ate here again today when I was in town, and they are just as good, if not better, than I remember. You must stop by and try their Tonkotsu Ramen! And the server, Loren, was very kind and attentive. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Fresh raw oysters. Sashimi was delicious. Nice portion“

“Excellent and promot service !“

“I’m always skeptical of poke places as they need to be very clean for me to feel
Comfortable eating there. Upon walking in the store smelt fresh and the counters and tables were clean. They have two sizes, a small bowl or a larger option. We got the larger option for $17 and some change. The portion sizes were very big. They give you lots of rice and or salad- I got half and half. You get 3 protein choices. The tuna chunks tasted very fresh. I also got albacore with corn, edamame beans, cucumber and crunchy topics. My finance got all rice with crab and spicy tuna and some fruits and veggies on top. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back! Even though it’s a lot of food it’s fresh and healthy so definitely a good option.“

“We love Benihana. We are always excited to find one in the town we are visiting. The Benihana in Temecula was by far one of the best we have been to. The host, the server, the chef, the food….everything was on point. Very impressed with the Temecula Benihana. We will be back for sure! Thank you for a great experience.“
