If there was a place or restaurant who acts like your mom, this is it. Given I had ate there one before, it wasn't bad. Rice was steamed twice again but the shrimp made up for it. Service was good. But when we tried to order more drinks they refused. I rarely see it busy but now I know why. This is happened with my friends around the holidays as well. read more

The sushi is bad and the customer service is poor. There's no quality assurance nor management. Items will be served missing ingredients and neither the servers nor the chef notice nor care. That's unacceptable given the price points and surcharge added to the check. This restaurant is probably staying open just off the bar crawl crowd that it catches through the weekends. There's no atmosphere, it's just EDM/club music on repeat. read more

Easily the worst service I've ever experienced -- 0/5 stars if possible. DO NOT come here if you plan to have a large group! We called multiple times a week before to ensure they could accommodate a party our size and provide us with indoor seating; the manager Santos assured us we would be seated inside. Upon arriving, we found that the restaurant threw together some tables for a makeshift outdoor seating area that had no overhead covering. We didn't want to upset the birthday girl, so we tried to roll with the punches. 1 of the 2 waiters tending to us was visibly annoyed with the size of our party and extremely rude (I believe her name was Monica). I understand that serving a large party can be a handful, but this is why we called multiple times to ensure the restaurant could handle a party of 15+ people. Within 35 minutes of being seated, it began to rain, which is why we requested indoor seating! The manager did a terrible job offering a solution. Multiple guests in our party had to ask about being moved in before the manager finally suggested that we wait for other guests to finish their meals so they could clean tables and separate our party across different tables indoors. This defeated the point of us confirming beforehand that they could accommodate a party our size. When we decided to move to another restaurant, staff insisted that our party pay for the few drinks that were ordered before it began to rain. Any decent manager would have offered to comp the small bill since it was clearly the restaurant's poor planning that led to us to leave, but whatever. At this point, we'd been there for 1.5 hours with no food. I'm currently expecting and didn't have the energy to move to a whole different restaurant, so I decided to just take my L and place an order to go. I would have been better off hitting a drive thru on the way home! My meal was completely wrong -- I ordered filet mignon & lobster and paid extra for fried rice; I was given a filet mignon & shrimp plate with white rice AND Monica (?) didn't give me my proper change. I tried to call the restaurant 3 times to remedy this and they aren't answering their phone. Do not waste your time or money here. read more

Great, amazing food and drinks. Service was so amazing, the recommendation given by Santo was spot on! Loved it! Will definitely come back.

I'm really disappointed with the service and quality of the food. The portions were tiny and the food was over cooked. I requested a copy of the check but apparently they can't provide an itemized copy until after they process your payment? After paying I finally got a copy of the receipt and there were a few service fees they added without my knowledge. 18% gratuity fee and 3% surcharge fee. In addition to the 15% tip I left. Almost $200 for 2 adult & 2 children hibachi dinners. Definitely not worth it. read more

I've dined here twice now and each time has been a great experience. Their lunch time prices are such a steal and their dining experience is great. The ambiance is nice as well. On my second visit I came with friends and all our meals were delicious. We also ordered the panda panda mojito which came in such a cute panda cup-the mojito was so delicious. It did take a little longer to receive our meal but it wasn't a big deal. We were too deep in conversation to be bothered. Will be coming back ! read more

I went there yesterday and the service is mediocre. The Kale salad that comes with the hibachi order was disgusting, I let the waiter know and asked if they had different options they said " no, they recently changed their menu and that was all they can offer" they didn't even try to offer anything else. It was my first time and last time coming here. Needs improvement: service, food. read more

My friends and I came here tonight to celebrate our friends birthday. From the moment we walked in we had a great experience. Our waitress Bertha was very professional, attentive and nice. The food was delicious! And the drinks were great. We are definitely coming back again soon! Thank you for the great experience! read more

Service was so horrible, place was empty got seated fast but nearly waited 30min to even get ask if we wanted a drink My toddler was getting so cranky on waiting for food & kept saying am am am for the past 40 min Finally they brought the food out but with no utensils! Asked 2x & ended up asking another server No napkin as well Food was a 3/10 I would never go back nor do I recommend this place read more

Better customer service , schedule more employees. Your food just sits there while server is helping other tables. By the time you get your food it's cold. read more

The only snit I have is that the music was too loud and not exactly what you expect to hear at a Japanese restaurant, and the woman next to us had the most annoying laugh ever, and of course the guy must of been a real comedian because she couldn't stop the whole time, but that's downtown Riverside on a Friday I suppose. Aside from that it was great! I got the fuego steak and salmon, and it was cooked to perfection. (I can't eat raw fish anymore). Our waiter, Santos, was awesome, and made sure we were well taken care of. And if you haven't seen the ambiance there yet, with the cherry blossoms and such, you're missing out if you're into that sort of thing. All in all a great night. read more

The service was good. The ambiance was nice with cherry blossoms. However the food was not all that great. We ordered hibachi trio, the chicken was dry, the steak had no flavor. My husband order the Riverside roll, it had a disappointing after taste. It's highly unlikely come back here again. I would not recommend this place. read more

Great food, we had salmon, shrimp, filet mignon, and scallops. Great ambiance and music. Our server, Santos, took it to the next level.

Terrible, i went to this restaurant for all you can eat sushi came out disappointed. Took over an hour to bring 4 rolls to our table and the sushi was not good either. the menus states that for all you can eat is 90 min max. So its not worth the money on this restaurant. The service was bad even that the restaurant only had 2 more families. Not recommended dont waste your time and money. We had to take them to go because they were taking so long. read more

Not what I expected, we went across to Palenque kitchen by Mezcal and had a better experience there.

Great customer service, Great food, great time. Santos went out of his way to help us pick the best options.

So hear me out. This is one of my family favorite restaurants. We come often, for the food. When it's good it's FIRE. However, there are a few critiques I have. I have had similar experiences almost every-time we go. 1. The service is absolutely shit. There is usually 1-2 waitresses on the floor at once. Even when it has just been us and another table the service has been horrible. The girls who work there usually have bad attitudes. They only get chipper, or helpful when you're checking out. It's like they know the need to put on a face for a tip. 2. This may not apply for all but if you are choosing to dine in and you have children, bring your own cup for them. For some reason they NEVER have lids or accommodations. Even though we were told over and over we will order more lids for next time. This may seem picky, but my daughter has tipped her drink almost everytime. Sure enough we catch an attitude from the waitresses when there's a spill- even tho we've said. She's going to spill it. One waitress said " oh since she spills do you really want to get her a drink " wtf yeah sure let me not get my daughter a drink with her meal. Like are you dumb or just bitchy? This might be due to them hiring green waiters but still. I'm not going to keep justifying the bad service experience we continue to have. 3. The food: like I said this is one our current favorite restaurants. The shrimp egg rolls have me in a chokehold. That is if they have them. The last time I got them they were significantly smaller than usual. The edamame is my daughter's favorite and the riverside sushi roll is one of the best I've had. However, I really think it's stupid that there is an up charge for fried rice at a hibachi restaurant. With these 3 main critiques, we will probably not be dinning in anymore. I wish I could say I'll just pick up my food to go, but even that. We've had experiences where we've ordered dinner portions and the meals were significantly smaller portions than we expect to receive when dining in. I hope everyone has better experiences than we have but this review has been a year in the making. read more

On Saturday my family and I decided to try this spot. Let me start with why I am giving it two stars because of the atmosphere, good music and the waitress was nice. Let's talk about the food, it was not good. They didn't even use sushi rice for our sushi rolls we ordered, I was so disappointed. We also got the habachi plates the chicken was over cooked, the noddles and veggies were cold. The food tasted rushed. My family overall said the food was okay. This restaurant is very small so if you want to try it don't go with a large party. read more

food was whatever and drink are mid , they take super long i had order the lunch special and took more thank 2 hours not to mention we were the only ppl in there. read more

Honestly Horrible experience!!! Please keep in mind it was 7:40 pm our order was not taken till 8 pm. and we didn't leave close to 10 pm and we are sitting outside patio and this place is not big restaurant. Also beware 3% surcharge paying cash or card. It don't matter it already applied on your ticket! Our waitress was gone for every 10 min (I get it was busy) we waited for 20 min just for water after we sat down. Water!! She disappeared again. She came back another 20 min to take our order. We had our little one with us, and we already been waiting for over 30 min just sitting and waiting on her. Plus every where else was already packed. So my husband and I just sucked it up and stayed little bit longer. We order our drinks (which was soda from The glass bottle) with our food. This is the part kinda ticked me. The food came out, went to the wrong table luckily before they sat the plate down the group said no. So plates weren't touched and they brought it to us. Our waitress had our little one plate in her hands. I saw her, stop pull out the machine took the tables order while holding my child food in her hands. O... I was so done with this place when she did that. That's my kid food you are holding and it's getting cold and taking someone order. No!!! My husband told me, it's fine, we been waiting over 40/50 just for this. It's fine, I was so angry!!! (If you have kids or little children with you. Would you be calm? If so please let me know) after that happen she place the plate down. Matter of seconds she disappeared AGAIN!! I said forget this I won't be waiting another ten min. I went inside asked someone behind the bar may I have a fork. Our little one didn't even have chop sticks. Nothing, Like come on what's my child suppose to eat. With his hands?!No!!! She finally came back after, and asked is there anything else we need. I looked at her said yes, our drinks that we ordered. She just looked at us like "huh" and she left again. She finally brought our drinks and cups of ice. I notice lipstick on the rim of my cup. I was already fired as it is. My husband knew he kept telling me it's fine just pour the water in the dirty cup because she won't be back for another 15/20 min. My little one was not fazed by it at all. He had my phone and he was just eating his food. She finally came back I told her this cup is dirty it still have lipstick on it. She was like oh... stood there and keep saying I don't want to leave it here. Umm... so don't, just take it back so your boss know. (Like umm.. what was she planning to do leave it at my table so I can stare at the dirty cup) So we asked for the check and again disappeared for another ten minutes. Here what through us, we got our check ( we always look at it first, because you never know they can add or miss something.) she just stood there and waited for us to pay right then and there. Like watching over us. I was already ticked and annoyed by her already. We told her can we have a minute to look over. My husband was taking his wallet out annoyed. So I look at the ticket 3% surcharge??? Above the taxes and food price. Come on!! Have a sign that says it. We didn't have an issue paying for it. Come on it's DTR. You're not paying for the food you are paying for the experience. But come on. No wonder she was hovering, many people would just look at the total and say okay here. Call it a day. You are probably thinking why didn't you say or make a scene about it. For starters it was late, we were cold and hungry. I didn't want to make a fool out of myself front of our little one. (He's at the age of he can eat from adult menu but he still orders from the small plate) I use to work in food industry and I still work in customer service industry. I know about angry customers but come on!!! Just over all bad, horrible experience. Having a beautiful, fun day and end it with this. No! Ugh, Never Again!!! If I can put zero stars I would!! read more

Terrible food me and my friend didn't like anything. Terrible after taste on everything. Got the surf and turf the lobster was fishy and didn't taste good. Got the chicken and salmon both dry and salty. Sides were not good and the California roll was the worst I ever had. 2 because it was actually a nice looking restaurant that might have potential. My waitress was not good either. read more

Had a reservation for patio seating and my party was sat inside because "there were no tables available for at least 25 more minutes". Food was bad this time. Very inconsistent. Then the bill came and they charged me 18% gratuities of $55 on a $227 bill. 18% of $227 is $40 so the math isn't mathing. They charge at 3% surcharge as well. Not happy at all with how my birthday dinner went. Stressful and not worth it. Definitely not coming back here after this experience. read more

The food and drinks are Tasty. We had sushi and appetizers the first time we went. The second time we went, we had steak and shrimp hibachi. We are definitely going back again. This is our new date night spot because it's so chill and in the heart of downtown riverside. read more

Our little gang of coworkers went to @fuegohibachi for lunch on 4/28/23. Pros: so many laughs, good food, nice ambiance, pretty decor. Cons: 5 cups of water toppled over server's tray and onto our table, leaving a puddle under the table. We had to ask to be moved. After our lunch, two of us left with wet shoes and another with wet clothes and a backpack soaked with water. Worst con: Server showed little apology. Embarrassed? I'll give her that. Been there, done that. But the worst part was that no manager came to address the accident, nor was there anything offered as a "sorry and thank you" for the inconvenience. Nothing. Please know that if you are reading this, @fuegohibachi , I understand your soft opening was a couple weeks ago, but do better with your customer service. This comes from a former hostess, cashier, server, bartender, manager, and well over 2 decades of customer service. read more
