Excellent service small sushi bar. Great food and drinks. Love having them near. Don't forget CLOSED MONDAYS.

This review is long overdue. I've been coming here on and off for the past two years since moving to the area, and every time I give the sushi another chance, it disappoints. This last visit (April 18) was the worst yet. The drinks are actually great, the bartenders know what they're doing. That's the only redeeming part of this place. Now the sushi... completely different story. It took an hour to get a lobster roll, and what showed up had little to no lobster. It was mostly shrimp, not even a mix, and to make it worse, there was visible shrimp vein (yes, the poop tract) still in it. Completely unacceptable, especially for something being sold as a lobster roll. (See photo.) It also took another hour to get just three types of sushi, and the yellowtail was cut poorly, chewy and full of muscle, not clean or fresh. At this point, this isn't a one-off experience, it's a pattern. I've given this place multiple chances, and the food quality and timing consistently miss the mark. If you want good sushi, skip this place. If you want solid cocktails, sit at the bar and leave it at that. read more

Etcetera Sushi & Thai Bites - Shrimp and shrimp poop in the so called "lobster roll" - Sushi Bars Near Me - Corona, California

Stopped here after seeing this spot while visiting in the area. Although I do eat some sushi, I was feeling like some Thai flavor. I came here on a weekday (Tuesday). I could see before entering the business was pretty full. I was not starving so having to wait quite a while after being seated by the host wasn't bad. I found it to be bad service after being seen by the host and my server not stopping by (not a big place) to acknowledge the delayed service. I do have to give credit to my server that she did apologize for the long wait when she was ready to serve me. I arrived just before sundown and when I entered the only spot that look comfortable was the booth/chair table seating. I thought it was comfortable until I sat on the booth side and the table is just a tad higher than I thought it should be. I always find anything that I have to raise my elbows at chest level to put my silverware to my plate is just not comfortable and annoying. The corner I sat in had poor lighting so trying to review the menu was a challenge. I even took my glasses off to see if that was the reason. I looked up and there was no lighting above me nor on the table. The ambiance looking around the room is nice . The bar is eye catching with the pretty colors and shapes of the bottles that were displayed. A plus, is the many TV's around the room. Great for the sports enthusiast. The food was ok. I ordered the Soft Shell Crab and Thai Wings. I enjoyed the Soft Shell Crab, with its light, breaded crust. The wings were plentiful, meaty, but a bit overcooked/burnt edges of the pieces. Apparently it's a good place with people/families enjoying the food. So I hope to have the same experience the next time I visit. This business is part of the strip mall. So plenty of parking if you can't get front parking. read more

Please don't support this business Update to previous rating: After sitting outside for 20 minutes wait for the table to be "cleaned" I walked in to check and there was someone sitting in what was supposed to be our seats. I was informed it was the owners and they bumped my reservation. Host issue * not food I've been going here since it opened. Love the food. Today I came in and the hostess was super rude because I have a service dog. He explained dogs aren't allowed and I'd have to leave. I explained to him he's a service dog and he said well idk I have to ask my manager he doesn't have a vest. He then informed me the wait was at least 35 minutes. I said okay, please ask your manager the dog is allowed here and please add me to the waitlist. A table cleared, I asked if it would still be 35 minutes since there is an option table and he said yeah it's going to be another 10-15 mins because we have to clean the table. I was like okay can we sit because it's cold outside and he said no sorry you can't. I've ate here a thousand times and never experienced someone so rude and I have sat many times at this restaurant while they were cleaning with no issue. Please get more informed/less rude host staff. Food is great, service aside from this has always been great. read more

Usually packed. Price point is kind of high, special rolls between $20-$25. Definitely gives more of a vibe to hang, have drinks and some bites of sushi. Fresh, quality fish. Flavors were good. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty happy. Unfortunately they don't have lunch deals and happy hour starts at 2 pm. We ordered two sushi rolls and they came really quick! It was very delicious and large. I ordered the mango roll which tastes very unique while my dad ordered a fried roll which was cooked amazingly. The service was amazing! read more

I've been seeing this Thai-sushi fusion place all over Instagram, mainly because their cocktails kept popping up on my feed. And yes, before anyone judges me, I swear I'm not an alcoholic -- the drinks just looked that good. My husband and I went for one of our little dinner dates. The place is clean, simple, and we were seated right away since it wasn't too busy. Sushi-wise, everything we ordered was pretty standard. Nothing really stood out, but it wasn't bad either -- just... sushi. Now the drinks? That's where they got me. I tried the Nashi martini, the lychee martini (basically the Nashi but with lychee liquor), and of course my usual lemon drop. All three were solid. I appreciate a bartender who doesn't skimp on the alcohol -- everything had a nice balance of booze and sweetness. Will I go back? Maybe. If I do, it'll probably be for another round of those drinks. read more

After all these years of being a patron at Etcetera, this place continues to be my favorite go-to sushi restaurant for top quality fish, fancy cocktails, and attentive service. I can roll in in my party dress or in my sweatpants yet never feel like I'm out of place. Hubby and I dined in on Valentine's Day and sat at the sushi bar in the presence of the greatest sushi chef in the IE--Isaac. You can always expect generous cuts of sashimi and atheistically pleasing presentations of sushi and rolls. You really do get what you pay for--quality, variety, ambiance, and service. read more

I really enjoyed Etcetera, it was the best sushi I've had in a while. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the presentation? Absolutely stunning. I was so impressed I wanted to shout, "spectacular, give me 14 of them right now!" For appetizers we got the edamame, crispy tuna and yellowtail with jalapeños - all perfect! The rolls were a great size and stuffed with fish! I highly recommend the el narco roll and the Sundays best roll. Prices were great too, worth it! Each bite was perfection, loved all the saucy details and commitment to quality. read more

Food is fresh and delicious. Service was wonderful. Both the host and the server were excellent, kind and friendly.

So I gigged a star We love the food and most of the servers Haley and Jessie are awesome. But there are a couple "hostesses" that ALWAYS have a sour demeanor and pissy face. She was there today 5/25 at opening. She's there a lot. Not someone you want to be the face of your establishment. read more

A friend and I came just before opening at 12p and we were the first ones in. Staff was very friendly our server Quincy was great! She had awesome recommendations and was very attentive (she had us drinking old fashioned cocktails and shooting oysters at noon) Everything we ordered was delicious and very fresh I recommend the spicy garlic edamame, rainbow roll, salmon and yellowtail sashimi were super buttery. The place quickly filled up for lunch, the booth seating against the wall is very comfortable and there is plenty of seating to accommodate groups of any size. If you are in the area definitely check this place out! read more

I highly recommend Etc! Had the pleasure of dinning in and they had packed house. Even with that we were still quickly seated. We ordered the ETC Edamame which was great not overly garlickly or too spicy. Fresh on Foothill is delicious whether you are watching your waistline or a true diabetic while trying to enjoy sushi without killing yourself iykyk! Seared Lemon Pepper Salmon this roll was excellent I enjoyed how the roll was not heavy in rice and the salmon so fresh. It was just enough tempura and I asked for light sauce. We ordered one more role I think Living Colors. He ate the whole thing without sharing the sushi all looked so fresh. Overall great experience and we will back as I left feeling not super stuffed from rice and overall satisfied. See you soon! read more

Great food. Terrible staff and service. I'd rather pick up and take it to go. Don't expect quality service.

Best oysters i ever had . I like it it was really good . The sushi was fresh and I'll Come here again . Thank you read more

Usually big groups like the dinner party of 9 we had are tough to get everything right but our server Taylor got it spot on from the beginning. He was very attentive and gave plenty of recommendations for the whole table. I'm half Thai so naturally I had to try a few of their bites and I am pleasantly surprised at the quality and presentation of the food. For the taste, I was shocked at how good everything was. So much food at the table I couldn't get all the pics but the highlights were the Thai sausage, the lamb, and the crunchy fried chicken. Sushi was quite good but the table was leaning more towards rolls which I don't really do cause all the sauces hiding the quality of the fish. I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

This place is the worst service I have had in my life. The server took my order, the drinks, appetizer and my daughter's food came out. 45 minutes later, I asked were was my order which was one roll. I asked him for an appetizer well I wait. He replied, will you be ordering anything else our kitchen is gonna close. I thought "are you kidding me" he has to be joking I've waited 45 minutes before I asked for my food. The server had passed many times by my table, even asked if I wanted a refill and never followed up on my order status. The host walk by and I asked him to check on my food or tell my server because this was ridiculous. This should never happen. When the server brought my roll to the table no apology, no excuse. Yet the customers sitting at the bar were receiving their orders. I think the server never put in my order. Sad this WAS my favorite sushi place. read more

Don't get me wrong--the food here is always high-quality and delicious. We usually visit on Sunday evenings when it's busy, and we've never had an issue with the service. However, this time, I went for lunch on a Tuesday when it was much quieter, and the experience wasn't as great. The hostess was direct but not particularly friendly, which made me wonder if the less busy shifts are staffed with employees in training. To make matters worse, I had no idea there was a Happy Hour menu available in the afternoon. It would have been nice for the server to mention it, but instead, I only found out by chance. When I did, I let the server know I wanted a Happy Hour item. However, when the bill arrived, I noticed I was charged the regular price. As a former server myself, I would have at least apologized and offered a small gesture, like a complimentary dessert, to make up for the mistake. Instead, the server consulted with the manager, who decided that since my order was placed just minutes before Happy Hour officially started, I wouldn't receive the discounted price. This experience left a bad impression and makes me hesitant to return for lunch in the future. Also, keep in mind, the food here is not cheap or is it inflation!? For example, some rolls and bento boxes are $20. Therefore, I would hope this review will let management know to better train their lunch staff. read more

The main reason it got 4 stars was because of the atmosphere and drinks. The food is 3 stars and is a hit or miss. Some of the sushi is good other rolls are just ok. I also tried their lamb dish and it was not hot and the lamb was dry. I still need to try the Thai food and if that happens to be a miss I will lower to 3 stars. Other than that it's local cool spot read more

This is probably my favorite restaurant when I'm visiting Corona. The food, ambience, presentation and service is always excellent. I love the appetizers and last night had the garlic edamame, crying tiger (filet mignon) and the izumidai tempura which are all delicious. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant. read more

The food here is soo good. I love this place they have such unique and different food options compared to other spots I have been too.

It's important to support local businesses! read more

Came for lunch today and everything was so good!! Wish I remembered our servers name but she was very sweet. I had chicken teriyaki bento box, and gramma had the beef teriyaki bowl. Everyone else got rolls that looked so good!! The chef came by and dropped the food off. First time there and can't wait to come back! Garlic edamame was probably my favorite tho... so good! read more

We came a while ago but I'm finally getting around to write the review. We came on the Friday before Father's Day weekend and it was PACKED. Talking to the host, it seems normally there isn't that much of a wait but regulars were dining for 2-3 hours before leaving. We ended up having to wait 45-50 minutes for our party of 7 (4 adults and 3 kids). The place is pretty small, even with bar seating there just aren't that many tables. However, we appreciated the two hosts in the front working really hard to get people seated in a timely manner. They were keeping us posted and overall, just really friendly and helpful. As for the food, we enjoyed it. We ordered a couple salmon ikura bowls and the quality and portions were both great. My kids enjoyed their salmon teriyaki kids meals and miso soups. We also ordered a whole bunch of rolls and appetizers to share. We liked the soft shelled crab appetizer in particular and ordered two. My father in law was surprised by the portion of his vegetarian special roll and was pleased with it as well. We'll definitely come back. read more

The food, the service, the ambience, everything about this restaurant is amazing!! we had the sassy roll and the assassin roll and it was so yummy! we went for valentines and they had the valentines deal where we were able to pick 2 rolls, selected apps, 12 piece sushis! the staff were honestly so sweet and amazing! we will definitely be back again! also the pricing for their sushi is very good and fair for really good quality sushi! this place is such a hidden gem here! read more

Don't sleep on the lamb chops here! I've never had chops like this before. What a sleeper menu item. They've got great sushi here. And they've got a unique thai menu as well. A great bar seating as well. Very clean and open space. The service was superb and the chefs brought the vibe. Can't go wrong with a crunchy roll. The shrimp roll special was delicious too. I got my kids the chicken teriyaki which was cooked perfectly. Glad Corona's got a great Asian cuisine to visit. read more

I wonder when the health department think about this employee putting on her make up at the bar. I have eaten here dozens of times. I've always been happy with the food and the service. However, I've been sitting here for 15 minutes watching her put on her makeup which included face powder. I hope the gentleman next to her did not get any extra powder in his food. She's still going at it as I write this. Sunday; April 6th 2025 @ 5:41 pm read more
