I was able to try all the no rice rolls and they were all fantastic. One dish that stood out to me was the seared nigiri tuna. I normally don't like tuna but this one had perfect texture and flavor.

Dinner for 2 was $95 with gratuity and with no alcohol ordered. Over all Not bad, I'll be back.

I have found my favorites and have them most often, but I like to venture into new rolls and I'm never disappointed. The staff is always welcome, friendly and provide amazing service. During the pandemic we ate here once a week to keep supporting local businesses and they knew me by name. This is a hidden gem If you go for a birthday they have flashing neon lights and crazy music that plays that make you feel emboldened and special all at once. Always very clean with multiple tvs that don't mess with the ambience because they keep the volume down.

You could also sit at the sushi bar, if you prefer. And there are a variety of tvs. When we went, it was featuring the world cup; no audio and some tvs had captions. Music was playing at a good level. Menu features lots of options. Some of us were craving sushi and the other half had bowls (beef bulgogi, spicy pork bowl, orange chicken). Our meals were served around the same time and waiters regularly checked on our refills and if we needed anything. At one point, music turned loud and lights flashed, to celebrate someone's bday so something to be aware of that they do. Overall, our dining experience was satisfying. I was a big fan of the salmon carpaccio and the super sexy bowl. The fish tasted fresh and portions are large so you get your moneys worth. My companion did mention that their bulgogi had more onion than meat which was visibly notable. Definitely aim to visit again and will recommend this spot to others.

After reading some of the reviews my girlfriend and I were slightly hesitant to go for the first…read moretime but decided to give it a try and a few things to note. We went on a Saturday at 6pm without joining the waitlist as yelp said we didn't need to. Our experience vs recent yelp reviews was overall pretty damn positive. The only thing that is true that every other review mentions is yes they add auto gratuity so when you get your check the option is there to still add a tip which if you don't pay attention can lead to you giving a 25%+ tip without realizing it. The service we had was fast, I still don't know who our server was because about 6 different people kept asking us if we needed anything. Our tablet worked fine and we were able to order everything from it without having it malfunctioning or not working as some others have stated. One odd thing to mention is the soda cup is about 2x as big as the water cup. The sushi itself tasted good, however my girlfriend and I try to get our moneys worth so we normally only pick nigiri and the standard apps, and avoid any kind of rolls. Our take is on the carpaccio, seared salmon, tuna, and escolar, and fresh water eel. All the nigiri we had weren't "fishy" or tasted not fresh or whatever some of the other reviews mentioned but again we didn't have any of the items other people have complained about. So if you're looking for an AYCE sushi place and are tryna get your moneys worth I'd say it's a good place to go.

Well, that all came to an end today when we decided to visit our old friend and she acted like she didn't even know us. We purchased 3 of our favorite rolls off our list but none of them tasted the same, they were bland at best and the best was no better than 'just okay'. Even one of our favorites, the Tokyo roll, was a big disappointment. I'd like to say that I was surprised, but I really wasn't. I started to see the writing on the wall last year but like a relationship that is past its prime, you get comfy and hope against hope that things will change but you know you're just fooling yourself. This evening, I chose to take a moment and look around remembering better times and memories made, I felt like Norm from Cheers on their final day. So, as I took my final lap I dabbed the "allergies" from my eyes, left my doggy bag on the table, turned and walked away. We're going to miss you, Big Oak. It was good while it lasted.

I ordered a glass of Chardonnay with my lunch order which is $13 and not only that, the glass was filled to less than half way!? If you're going to charge that much for a glass of wine at noon in the middle of the week.. at least fill the glass! I had the 5 piece salmon sashimi and rice. It was delicious but I asked for more wasabi which took 10 minutes to receive. Again this is what happens when you've got only one waitress serving a full dining room. My first experience at this establishment was not a pleasant one and not one that would convince me to come back. For the cost of this mid week lunch for one being $65, I would say it was not worth the price! There are a lot of reasonably priced , great quality sushi places around the area I'd prefer going to.

Miso Soup was clear, with onions and beef broth but no mushrooms. Our grill master made a bountiful batch of egg-added Fried Rice. Of more importance, he cooked melt-in-your-mouth medium rare Filet Mignon. Noodles and grilled vegetables were in plentiful supply. And while the grill master only tossed small chunks of corn on the cob instead of shrimp toward diners' mouths, some grilled shrimps were loaded onto plates by the grill master's spatula. And food portions were generous. The meal generally went smoothly, but our waitress was not very attentive. I had to ask four times for knives before receiving them. Our grill master had good knife skills and put on a pretty good understated cooking show, including fashioning and lighting an Onion Volcano that ultimately looked like a fire-breathing dragon. This was a very good dining experience overall.

I had to explain to the manager why I did not feel comfortable eating the second 1/2 of my roll. He explained and didn't care and said it's policy. Maybe their policy should be not losing a customer over a $7.50 roll. LOL This place is so wanna be LA and not in a good way. Save yourself the high prices they charge and poor service and go to R91. I've never had a bad experience there, ever, after years.

I ordered the spicy salmon onigiri, spicy tuna, and musashi roll without avocado (I have an allergy to avocado) Onigiri was warm, fresh and filled with taste. Will order again.

Our waiter was amazing very attentive and on top of everything. The food came out in stages, which was actually great because it gave us time to enjoy one roll before the next arrived and kept the table from feeling crowded. The ambiance was perfect as well. This is definitely a new favorite!

This was my second visit to Kotsu and it didn't disappoint!

I've gotten the Tori OG with chicken chashu twice and it was really good both times! My boyfriend had the Tori Kick the first time and then the Tori Matcha Madness this time and those were both good as well. The chicken chashu has always been VERY flavorful and not dry. The broth is so flavorful as well and has depth. I feel a lot of broths I've had lacked richness. I also feel like the toppings on the ramen are perfect; a ramen egg, kikurage mushroom, green onion, and the meat! The service has always been very friendly and I've never had a bad experience with any of the employees. The place itself is kept clean and I notice the workers cleaning off tables and other things as soon as they can. The restrooms are also very clean (big plus for me). I feel like this is easily becoming one of my go to places for ramen!

That said, the quality of the food made it worth the wait. We'd definitely come back for the ramen!

I highly recommend coming here with a group of friends. They have plenty of seating, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back again!

First Visit Experience…read more My wife and I tried Sushi R 91 in Riverside for the first time, and overall it was a good experience with a few areas that could be improved. I ordered the beef ramen, and the flavor was great. The beef tasted really good, and the broth had nice depth. I do wish they offered more condiments on the table so you can adjust the broth to your liking--spicy, savory, etc. My food took a little while to come out, but it ended up being worth the wait. The price was also a big plus: $13.99 for a bowl of ramen, a sushi roll, and a drink is a great deal. My wife ordered two rolls--the Salmon on Fire and the Caterpillar Roll. Both were tasty and comparable to what we've had at other sushi spots. We also tried the gyozas, which were average. Customer service could use some improvement. Our waitress wasn't rude, but she seemed rushed and tried to take our order almost immediately after we sat down. Since it was our first time, we needed a moment to look over the menu. Overall, the food and value were solid, but the service and small details could be better. I'd rate Sushi R 91 a 3.5 out of 5.

The bento boxes allow you to select sushi and non-sushi combos (surprisingly hard to find) 3. Excellent non-sushi (my wife doesn't do fish) 4. Reasonable prices 5. Nice ambiance. Cons: 1. Sushi fish seems a little smaller than Marui. I was still full tho, and maybe Marui was just that generous. 2. No terriaki short ribs (flanken rib). That was our favorite non-sushi item at Marui besides the tempura.
