If I could rate this a negative star I would because they didn't customize my order like I asked when I placed the order. Asked for no sauce my food was covered in sauce. The price of the food was not worth it and the taste of the food was nothing special or good. read more

Food and service was good! Will try again and I highly recommend you this place! If I have one complaint, it's very crowded and be sure to make reservations because it gets busy in there read more

I come here all the time for lunch so I just decided to do a review. Great place with food always coming out fast and as expected. It's an ideal place for lunch with friends if you want good service and food. Bertha always checks in with me although I get the same thing. The NY steak with fried rice. I ask for it spicy as well. The owner came across the restaurant right when I came in to seat me. That was a really cool thing to do. Not many places do. Seems like he cares and Bertha is a great reflection. Overall I'll continue to come here. read more

Service was horrible, our server had the biggest attitude the moment we walked in until it was time to pay and leave a tip. Also had only one server working in the entire place that took a long time to even notice us or make it aware we were there. read more

Ok. We're visiting from Carlsbad where we have some of the best sushi around. And we took a chance with this place since the average was 3.5 which now that we're here makes no sense. Amazing miso soup, garlic edamame is fire! And our tiger roll is wow! Must visit! Love the little sauces and fusion of Japanese and Mexican. read more

I went to dinner on Wednesday for the all you can eat, and I had the worst experience. Food never came we were there for two hours. It wasn't even full. The restaurant was hot and there was flies everywhere and it's a very small and tight place so hard to move around. Won't be going back. read more

Food was delicious amazing worth it. Service was excellent the only thing I would say prices are a little high. Overall i will definitely recommend. read more

Fuego Hibachi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

Food was ok but not great and definitely not worth the money. Veggies consist of a couple pieces of zucchini, a couple mini corns and probably a FULL onion. Way overpriced for what you get. The real kicker is the 3% surcharge they try to sneak in because the owner wants you to help pay his employees over inflated wages in addition to his overpriced food. But don't worry, the wait staff will be sure to point out that all goes to the owner and you shouldn't think it's part of the tip. What a joke. If you can't afford to run a business, don't open one. read more

The food is really good, the flavor is there and the portions are generous. Location is very easy to find and the service is great . The Steak and shrimp combination plate comes with fried rice , veggies and noodles which were all on point . Drink presentations are very appealing . Can't wait to eat here again! read more

I hate giving low reviews but I honestly expected more. Maybe I went on an off day. So I was invited and expected hibachi type seating when we got there the tables are super crammed up next to each other , and you don't get to see the cooks cooking like at Benihana Ooka type places. The place is cute, but very crowded with tables. Servers were pretty attentive and nice. . The food. It was okay. Nothing to go home and brag about. I got. Sushi roll, Mexican bandera and the habanero dip was the best but I just didn't feel like habanero goes with sushi. When asked our server for spicy rolls she said all of them could be, because could be dipped in the sauce. The pkace just didn't have authentic sushi flavor?.. like I felt I was eating sushi with Mexican salsa, I know it was a Mexican bandera roll but it still just didn't feel it was plated and served as sushi normally is. My husband got the steak, shrimp chicken hibachi combo plate, again it was okay- fried rice was the best. The proteins were okay. Not the worst but certainly nothing to go home and brag about. The drinks. They were nothing above average either. I honestly didn't like them and was told they were only beer and wine licenses so the cocktails wouldn't be as strong? As regular, so why would the pricing not reflect that? They were average priced cocktails, $15-/+ and they tasted okay, again not bad, but not like cocktails you get that you really enjoy the flavor even if they are not as strong liqueur wise. These were neither, just okay. I didn't like that all our food came out at completely different times, one person in our party didn't get his sushi roll until some of the rest were literally done eating! I did not like that at all. I would come here again if I was invited but I don't think I would go again on my own. I love an authentic sushi place nearby and if going to pay Ooka near prices might as well get the full hibachi dining experience. But I wouldn't decline an invite here, I just wouldn't initiate the plan to go. So that's why gave 3 stars overall. read more

The ambiance is great, with trees painted on the walls and the. Branches and flowers mounted to the walls to give them a 3D feel, but it is a little bit cramped. The servers are all friendly, but the responsiveness is lacking. Finally, the food is not presented in a traditional hibachi fashion, so if you're hoping to get a show like Ooka or Benihana, you're not getting it here. When we first arrived for our reservation we were asked if we wanted a table, or to sit at the bar. The tables don't get to watch the food get cooked, but the bar does, so we elected to sit at the bar. We ordered two of the hibachi meals, and two miso soups and the waited to watch our food get cooked in front of us. The bar sits directly across from the hibachi grills with a large glass pane in between, so there is zero interaction with the chefs. There were three grills that I saw, and honestly they're just cooking on them as they would be if they were cooking in the kitchen. We were expecting someone to come and cook our meal on the grill in front of us, but all we ever saw then cook was a large batch of vegetables, and then our food came out. We never received utensils and had to ask several people, multiple times for them so we had to wait about 15 minutes from when our food came to even begin eating, and during that time we watched a younger cook cross contaminate food by cooking raw chicken and steak at the same time going back and forth with the same knife and fork and spatula. Someone is going to get salmonella poisoning. Once we finally got our utensils and got to dig in we found everything but the vegetables, and soup to be bland, and over cooked. My medium rare steak was well done, our shrimp, chicken, and scallops were all dry and over cooked. The sauces were good, especially the mango habanero, that sauce alone is why I gave this more than one star. My wife pointed out that it seems like they're trying to give a high end appearance, will using low quality ingredients. For example, I would expect udon noodles in soup, and chow mein noodles from the hibachi grill, but they both looked, and tasted like standard ramen noodles. Overall we were disappointed in the experience, which was a bummer because it's so highly rated. I'm assuming we just came on an off night, but considering the quality of the ingredients that may not be the case. Considering the price they're charging is on par with a place like Ooka, I would expect a similar experience, and quality of food, and this absolutely was not that and we will not be returning. read more

Well shoot. I was really hoping for a great experience here. I don't even know where to start. Servers look like high school kids and had no idea about any of the drinks. I really wanted to like this place as they offer sushi and hibachi. We only had the garlic edamame and that tasted like it was out of a jar, so I can't really say anything about the food. But overall the first impression, we won't be coming back. I really don't understand how you have employees/ servers who really can't answer basic questions about the food or the alcohol they offer. Just blows my mind. read more

This place was ok. The food was good, not great. Definitely not your typical Hibachi place. We sat at the bar hoping to watch the chefs put on a little bit of a show with the cooking, but that didn't really happen. The fried rice and noodles aren't made to order like other hibachi places. They make a big pot of it then serve each plate a portion. And PORTION is what you get when it comes to the meat. I got the chicken and NY steak and got maybe 5 little cubes of steak? Husband got the scallops and steak and got I think he got maybe 4 scallops and his cubes of steak too. Not worth the price tag. Drinks were okay too, but it took the server maybe 10 mins to come by and take our drink order. And again we sat at the bar so... We'll most likely hit up our local hibachi food truck next time we're craving it. read more

Great meal while staying at the Mission Inn, we just walked right over! Entrees are large.

Hours say open until 10pm. We walked in at 8:56 and they told us they had already done last call and were closed. If you want to close early, fine, but change your hours so people don't drive here, pay to park to then be turned away. read more

Sushi was mostly filled with cucumber and the rice was grainy. The servers kept forgetting what I asked for previous, I had to ask a couple times after to remind them. I will not be returning. read more

The food here was on point. We ordered 2 appetizers, the spicy garlic edamame which was delicious and the shrimp egg rolls. We got two specialty rolls as well which were fresh and tasty. I got the chicken hibachi dinner that came with fried rice, veggies and noodle. The chicken was juicy and tender. I did not order a drink but will come back next time to try them out. Our waitress was amazing and provided excellent service. My only complaint is I had made reservations for a party of 5 but when we arrived the host advised I was going to have to wait 20 minutes because there were no tables available at that time. The restaurant is small inside and we noticed there was a party of 12 that took over several tables. I personally would not bring a big group since it is an intimate setting in my opinion. read more

Bertha was really good with her service! The food was decent. It had a nice ambience.

The ambiance was loud and busy. The feel and design of the place was nice. The servers seem fresh and are still learning the ropes (never asked if I wanted a second drink and water was only refilled once, so it was empty most of the service). We also had to ask for boxes and the check (separately since they didn't bring the check with the boxes, waited a good amount for check after we were done eating). They were nice though. The food was reasonably priced. The flavors were decent (though not unique or flavorful). I would say it was great for the price. They are super quick (absolutely perfect for lunch), though I ordered medium rare filet and they brought out well done New York (they did fix it when I said something). The noodles were lackluster, but veggies well done. The filet and scallops were good. The sushi and sashimi I have a hard time rating. They tasted fresh and great, but they looked not so good. I would assume that the person that made the sushi was still learning to cut fish? The cuts were uneven and flaky. The taste was great though. I will definitely be back and give them another try. We were in and out in less than an hour and the price for the taste was well met. I think they are just all new and learning the ropes. read more

New spot here in Riverside, so we had to pass by and grab an early dinner. The place is so pretty and clean, has an upscale vibe. You can smell the food immediately when you walk in. We were greeted and seated right away. The staff was super friendly and always checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. We got the tuna tacos which were perfectly crisped with a fresh tuna filling and light topping to add some extra freshness The rolls we ordered were the DTR, Lobster, and R.P.D. I am not the biggest cream cheese fan when it comes to sushi rolls so the DTR was my favorite of the three. The lobster roll was second since the flavors overpowered the cream cheese for me (in a good way) The ambience was perfect. Music, decor, everything. There was even a cute photo op area that our server ensured we knew about. Bathrooms are well kept and clean too (yay) The pricing is a bit high for the food and drinks but everyone was so friendly so I can't be mad. read more

Fuego Hibachi - The best sushi I've tried - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

Fuego Hibachi is definitely a work in progress. We attended the soft opening for IHL tenants tonight. An email blast was sent to tenants a few days ago and an elevator sign showcased the event. It was definitely a treat for us since we seen the building process over the months. Needless to say we were exciting to attend. We arrived a little late and saw many of our neighbors already enjoying their food and drinks. It was great to see familiar faces. AMBIANCE The Fuego Hibachi screamed new. From the sparkling stainless steel vent hood to the beautifully painted walls of Asian art and the cherry blossom popping from the walls. The ambiance was warm, lively and the music was definitely an inviting experience. FOOD & DRINKS The Soju Old Fashion and Soju Paloma were the first items we ordered. Both were sweet. Something we didn't really expect. It tasted fruity and didn't have a lot of alcohol. I am not sure if the spirit they used has a high alcohol percentage but it tasted like juice. Normally, when I order an old fashion I sip it here and there but their version was very easy to drink. My wife had the same experience with her Paloma. The appetizer we ordered, the Salmon Bomb, came in three spoons. A bite size portion. The appetizer had the option of Tuna, Hamichi and Salmon. It was okay but for the cost of the dish it would be best if you ordered a whole roll. The next thing we ordered was another round of drinks: I ordered a Delirium Belgium and my wife the Soju Strawberry. This round was better. My beer was again on the sweeter side but it was definitely more boozy than my cocktail. My wife's soju was definitely the best option. For a little over $10 you get a 12% ABV option that tastes like juice. The best bang for your buck. As for our main dishes. We ordered the Mexican Flag, Riverside Tempura and the Jefe. All were good. My wife liked the Mexican Flag the most. The rolls were fresh and beautifully presented. As for the next round, sadly they had no desert options as of yet so we settled to some Tillamook Ice Cream at home. SERVICE The service was a little lackluster and definitely needed fine tuning. A few points I noticed was the staff was still trying to figure out the system. The waitress, although nice, mentioned she was getting used to the handheld Toast system and menu. She offered water to start and came back to take our order but the water never came. Where was the water? It came shortly when the manager apologized for the delay in service but that happened 30 minutes into our meal. We asked for wasabi and soy sauce with our sushi and we got teriyaki sauce instead. Thankfully a bottle of soy sauce was a table away so we helped our selves to that. There were little things here and there and all of which is understandable in a soft opening. Everyone is getting there bearings; however, what bothers me is the email blast mentioned a 2 free drinks per resident but we never received them. We were charged full price. For a welcoming event specially catering to the residents of the building I would assume that the promotion would be in the forefront to help stir interests but I am not sure if the waitress knew. OVERALL I would wait a few months and check back so that they can iron out the kinks. It's a great centrally located place with a great ambiance and food. I'd recommend to wait a little longer to visit so your visit won't have issues. **rumor has it their liquor license is still pending so that's why they don't have spirits like whiskey available yet.** read more

Two of us went here for lunch (8/9/24 at 11:30) and had a lovely meal. Someone greeted us as soon as we entered the restaurant and the waitress Monica, said we could sit anywhere. She followed us to our seats and placed a stack of menus on the corner of the table. Each table had a stack of napkins, two forks, two sets of chopsticks and an appetizer plate set up. She brought water right away. We had a lot of questions about menu items and allergens. Monica made several trips to ask about the allergens and the manager even brought out an ingredient in the sauce so we could read the label. The cook made my friends food in a clean pan rather on the cooking surface in order to avoid cross contamination. Monica was great at checking with us about food and refilled our water twice without having to ask. It appeared that Monica was the only server and it started getting busy around noon. She was really hustling. We had the trio Relleno appetizer, a salmon with noodles, and veg (minus the zucchini), shrimp and salmon with fried rice and veggies. Everything was amazing. We will both be back. read more

Amazing service from Bertha! The ambiance was nice. Food was delicious! I will be returning

The concept is super cool but I think the menu needs some work. It's hibachi food and hibachi prices but none of the show or portions! I ordered the steak and chicken combo and it was flavorful! The food was tasty and I like how they also give you some noddles with your food combo. My only complaint would be that the fried rice needs some work. They have beer and wine but no hot sake which is a must if you're going to serve sushi in my opinion. Service was awesome but we went at 5pm on a Friday and were the only table in there. read more

My husband and I tried Fuego this past weekend for a late lunch/early dinner. The restaurant itself is decorated very cute, but the tables are packed in pretty tight, so it's hard to walk through if two tables across from each other are both seated. The cost of the food is similar to what you would expect to pay at a hibachi. The difference is, at a hibachi, part of what you're paying for is the show. There are no hibachi tables, everything is cooked on the kitchen and brought out. I ordered steak cooked medium and chicken. There was zero pink in my steak, it was completely well done. The vegetables were under cooked and the noodles were overcooked. I will say before I review the service that I'm pretty sure they were in the middle of shift change. That said, the service was less than stellar. My husband's drink stayed empty almost the whole time because once we had our food our server never came back. It wasn't the worst meal I've ever had, but for the money you're better off going to Benihana. read more

Fuego Hibachi - Fire Up Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

What a disappointment. Their IG account looks attractive and food looks good but don't be fooled. This place is dirty with mosquitos and flies. Sushi was so plain and disgusting. The fish had a weird smell. The waiters took for ever to serve and never got napkins. I had to get up to look for a waiter to pay. Then they charge a 3 % surcharge of who knows what for. Do not waste your time and money at this place. It was such disappointment after I told my hubby to take me here for our anniversary and we wasted our money and time here!!!! read more

Fuego Hibachi - Noodles!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

This spot is not your typical hibachi place, so don't come thinking you're going to get the full experience. The food is cooked out of your view, but the prices don't reflect that lack of experience. And some of the food is cooked before you order, so expect cold noodles, and dry and crusty chicken. If you unfortunately decide to dine here, expect the worst service you can possibly get with a forced tip. And most importantly, don't be bamboozled by their drinks! According to our server, they don't serve actual liquor, (only beer and wine) so customers are getting flavored water. Lastly, the ambiance includes a half dozen flies. No need to work out the day you decide to make the mistake to come here as you'll definitely get a workout shewing flies off of your plate. read more

Ordered the chicken and shrimp combo and the food came out cold. Almost as if it had been sitting in the kitchen before the server decided to bring it out, didn't bother to complain because the server (who was a male) already seemed as if he woke up on the wrong side of the bed... taste itself was extremely mid. I rarely ever leave reviews but I knew I had to leave one for this. Don't recommend. read more
