19 Best Japanese Restaurants in Riverside

“My favorite ramen ever! I have a preference to chicken based broth which is quite hard to find but I have found it here! My kid loves it to and I'm so glad to have found a better ramen place that what I grew up eating in LA.

Parking: Plenty of parking as it's in a large shopping center with other restaurants and a grocery outlet.

Kid-friendliness: Very roomy restaurant with booths that are great when bringing along kids. They also offer us forks and were very accommodating.“

“the California rolls are awesome highly recommend it.“

“My favorite Shabu place. Great selection of broths.“

“I tried the 3 roll combo from their Togo Special menu and the food was better than expected. I got the Dragon Roll, Amagi Roll & Hot Night Roll, and by the time I finished half a portion, I felt full already. The Togo Special is an awesome deal, and I'll definitely come back next time when I'm craving rolls.“

“I ate the noodles and they're way better than what's next to them. Love the noodles I've tried the fried chicken just wish it was spicy ? but so far it's been great the few times I've stopped by

Vegetarian options: There's steamed vegetables“

“Found this gem when I fist moved here in march! Reasonable prices and quality of fish is good. I always sit at the sushi bar and the sushi chefs are always so nice and on top of it. Cajun salmon is delicious! Definitely recommend“

“DO NOT JUDGE THIS BOOK BY ITS COVER. I'm going to be honest , we walked in, saw it was empty, and the furniture and lighting look older so we totally judged and we almost walked out. Now I see the money is spent on the fish, it's quality fish for sure. This restaurant apparently has been here for 17. Absolutely delicious and fresh. The slices are thick and just heaven. We drive 35 minutes with decent traffic to come eat here. I am soooo happy we found this place. This is our go to sushi spot. The staff is sooo friendly and the chef is a pro. I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant. Chef is always so sweet to our son when we come in and he is always so gracious and grateful for our drive to eat at his place. I had the One Night Stand it's always delicious. The edamame is fire too. Never disappoints.

Kid-friendliness: They love children and welcome them.“

“Food was super good we got to sit with a fun table chefs are very interactive and fun. They had a very good drink menu my wife and I both enjoyed a few cocktails. The place could use some cleaning but with the amount of food that flies around that place I guess it's kind of hard to keep up with“

“Great service and food 🥘👌💯“

“Delicious sushi and vegetarian options too! Some "Secret Menu" dishes from the Dragon House was on Magnolia in Riverside for 43 Years with Charlie and Joanne Sun. Thank You for a Wonderful Birthday Banquet Eric and Brian!!

Vegetarian options: We ordered ahead and asked for a series of vegetarian dishes. Eric and Brian made it happen in a delicious and beautiful way! Thank You Eric, Brian and April also for a beautiful birthday presentation!“

“Sushi was really good. It was a Friday night and service was fast. The only complaint is their mandatory tip that they charge all their customers. I don't like this practice. Raise your prices and pay your servers more. If it's mandatory, it is not a tip! Even worse, they didn't bring me an itemized receipt showing the tip was already paid. They just have the total price (which already includes 15%) and then leave a line for a tip and total. Horrible business practice! Luckily for me, I look out for things like that. I'm sure they get many suckers who tip more than they wished to on accident.“

“Order ahead this place gets packed

“if you are in the riverside area near the magnolia center and in the mood for sushi 🍣, you got to give this place a try. the food is fantastic and the drinks, wow! prices are fair, beer is cold, service is very good and lots of choices on menu. they got karaoke on Fridays atv6 and it's just a cool hole in the wall.“

“The wait between one serve to other is long which makes you feel full fast and before you get your full order items. It took long time to serve the food

Parking: Parking available on the site

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair access“

“Honestly the poke here is amazing, I kinda looked down on it at first due to the price and comparing the portions to panda next door but the amount of fish/protein you get for a normal is amazing. Definitely a more healthy alternative to the more greasy food around. I would argue that its better than some poke places off campus. Like other reviews have said the line does get long around 12-1 pm so I have always gone around 11am or 2pm+. Depends on your schedule obv. Thank you to all the student workers!“

“Went here on the recommendation of a coworker and my son and I liked it. Despite what many have said, despite it being busy service was quick and polite. Sushi was very good for the IE, good rice ratio, tons of variety for ayce. Yes, they automatically add a tip depending on group size but it's reasonable. They were so good I added a few bucks more. Will be back.“

“It’s delicious and friendly staff.“

“First time visiting this location, and the bartender was the person who did amazing for us tonight. He greeted us as soon as we arrived and gave us a place to sit. The drinks that he made for us were on point. Super nice and friendly guy. If we come back,it will be to have a drink . The food was ok. Also no happy that they still charge you a 3% extra on your bill for a law that pass on July first for business to stop doing that.“
