For a 8 piece sushi roll this is NOT enough wasabi! Also their spicy edamame is not all the gorge at. It's cooked to with chili paste, however it tastes more like tomato paste. There's NO garlic flavor read more

Idy Sushi Rolls - NOT enough wasabi! - Japanese Near Me - Idyllwild, California

Food was great, the waitress was very nice, and the fish was very fresh. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food.

Ridiculously overpriced!! $12 for a basic avocado roll is outrageous!! Shrimp bowl was pretty basic too, and the spring rolls were mushy on the inside (as if they'd been in the freezer too long. We came here out of pure desperation. Won't be returning. Back to this avocado roll. If you're going to charge the price of a bag of avocados for a roll, at least spruce it up. Not even 1/4th of a roll was used read more

This small, tucked away restaurant is slightly off the beaten path but well worth finding. The staff was friendly and welcoming, taking their time to explain everything since they knew we were first-time dinners. The menu is very inclusive and contains a few items that i haven't seen in years. The service was fast and the food was incredible. The drinks were the standard restaurant selection with no adult beverages offered but they are considering adding them. We added them to our "Go to" places in Idyllwild and you should too!!!! read more

Great spot in town to get sushi. A bit over priced but hey you don't have a lot of options here in Idyllwild. Overall yummy take out! Fast service read more

There is parking right in front of the restaurant. The place is small, capacity is 17 people. The staff was really nice. The bathroom is outside of restaurant. We had gyoza which was fried, we would have liked it steamed but it was fine. We wanted to try the shumai but they were out of it. We had the avocado and salmon roll which was poorly made, the roll was falling apart as we ate, overall taste was average. We had the Hot night roll which was really good. read more

We want so badly to like this place but each time we go it falls short. The space itself need to be updated and De-cluttered. Right when you walk in there is a storage spot that makes you a little unsure before even ordering. We asked for a crispy rice spicy tuna roll which was a spicy tuna roll topped with tempura crumbs. My husband couldn't finish his sushi as the fish wasn't fresh at all, first time I have ever seen him spit sushi out! It has so much potential as Idyllwild is one of our most favorite spots, but we aren't sure we will be back any time soon. Fingers are still crossed that something changes. read more

Damn tasty! Loved the rice on the rolls ... which rarely ever happens. Proper moisture and chew. Fish is fresh. Loved it!

Very disappointing. Visiting from out of town and was excited for some sushi. Walking in the door, right as you enter, there is a desk on the left COVERED with boxes, supplies, and even an old sushi roll sitting there in a container. Seemed very unsanitary. Ordered salmon sushi and yellowtail sushi. Both were VERY fishy, had to throw away. The waiter was nice but I won't be back. read more

Loved it. Great service. Let them know we would be next door for a few minutes waiting for food and they came next door to let us know our food was ready. read more

We ate here on the patio on our first Covid-vaccinated trip out of town. The food was delicious and fresh. Service was friendly and accommodating. Lots of people were getting takeout; we sat outside. read more

Great food - always fresh. Excellent service and very cosy when dining in. We regularly order take out from here and are never disappointed. Reasonable prices too. read more

After moving up to Idyllwild, my girlfriend and I were in a sushi mood. Thankfully Idy sushi Rolls exists! We've enjoyed their food multiple times now and every time is a treat. The sushi, sides, soups, chefs specials, everything is great. Every time I've gone there (for pick up) the service is spot on, attentive, and rather speedy. The convenience of being able to order online, walk right up to the door, and head out is beautiful. Whether you're an Idy local or a traveler from far off lands looking to scratch that sushi itch, swing by Idy Sushi Rolls. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!! read more

The service was terrible, I was waiting for three rolls for 45 minutes and 15 minutes before the waitress can even start to take the order and I look over there was three employees just sit there and on their phone and they said they are backed up on order like what????. Go help or do something there was like 2 table to serve and you can't even serve it ??? RUINED MY WHOLE WEEEKEND DONT EVER COME HERE read more

Worst service that I have ever experience. And we were there for lunch and it was not busy. I ordered the special for lunch and my wife had miso soup and something else. Her order came at least a half hour before I recieved mine. I had to go into the kitchen as I saw their cook walking around outside the restaurant well after my wife recieved her order. The waiter totally should be fired and the cook as well. I have been in the restaurant business my whole life and have never seen such bad service. Please let me know when they are both fired so we can come back. Daniel Shoden read more

I love this place. Good food, friendly staff. It's hard to give a mountain sushi place five stars because it's just not the same as being close to the ocean, but they do a great job and their fish is delicious. I'd love to see a few more banchan offerings with the Korean dishes, but their kimchi is the bomb. read more

This was the third time we ate there. First time (right after they opened) took too long but was good enough. Some months later we went again and had quicker (food)... still good.This time, though, rolls came quickly and were EXCELLENT. prices were reasonable. they've taken each step to get better. We can't wait to see what their next improvements could be!!! read more

Omg the vegetable udon and vegan ramen are SOOOO good here! Especially the udon... absolutely DELICIOUS it's mind blowing. The broth and noodles taste very fresh. Only thing that would make the noodle soup dishes better is if it came with plant protein like tofu. Can't believe there is such a great family owned Asian restaurant out in Idyllwild, yet I struggle to find a place remotely close to this in Palm Springs. Our server Jae was very sweet, helpful, and accommodating. There is an outdoor dining area which is dog-friendly. I can't wait to be back! read more

This place was solid. If you are craving sushi this place for sure will get the job done. We decided to take out a bunch of sushi due to COVID and eat it once we got back to our place. Salmon avocado, tuna avocado, salmon nigiri, veggie roll, all for two people. The nigiri was good, the veggie roll good but there was some fishy-ness with the two others. We still ate them, it wasn't going to get us sick but it was what we expected as far as quality. It has to be really hard to get quality fish here and I think they did a decent job. The woman working there was so very nice and ran the food out to the car and we really appreciated it. If we came back to town we would probably take out from here again. We might get 2 veggie rolls and the salmon nigiri. If you look at the salmon nigiri, don't mind how they were smushed together, that was due to my driving, but you can tell that some of the cuts are a little off. For sure this is a great spot if you're craving sushi after your hike. read more

Tried this place a second time. Super disappointed and frankly disgusting. The place inside was filthy!!! Clean the place man! It's so tiny it shouldnt be that hard. The food was so expensive and not good. We all had the teriyaki box. The salad had thousand island dressing, the chicken was awful, the tempura was definitely some other kind of batter,the Calif roll that comes with was ok not fantastic, miso not half bad surprisingly. We ordered edamame it was not fresh. So needless to say paid 80 dollars for crap food and dirty dinning experience. . read more

The sushi is really good, plus the yaki soba! :) The drive might be long but the views to get there is a spectacular view. I love the nature vibe I get here! read more

Walking in, this place doesn't look like much. And it isn't. We walked in to an empty restaurant with no host or wait staff. Finally someone came from the kitchen and sat us. Took our order which was two rolls, a soup, and two waters. The food was bland, and our waters were never brought to wash down their swill. I found a dead insect in my soup halfway through the bowl, no one checked on our table, and an employee was on the phone chewing loudly next to us, but my favorite part of dinner was when this employee loudly burped. The only time the server came to our table was to ask us to pay the bill, still no waters. Horrible service, terrible food, and unsanitary. I wonder how long the soup sat in the back for a bug to climb in the pot and die. read more

This place is such a hidden gem! I love it here. Came here for my first time and I was a little apprehensive, because sushi when you're not near the coast can be a daunting. But they go above and beyond for the care and quality of their fish/food. It's beyond amazing and it's a small, cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff, incredible quality of sushi, and overall a trip worth making! Highly, highly recommend!! read more

Not for me or my wife . Came here for lunch Lil pricey for teriyaki bowl California roll taste like it was there for a while . I'm not saying all their food is bad all I'm saying is I had a bad experience it just wasn't for me read more

Idy Sushi Rolls - Japanese Near Me - Idyllwild, California

The food was amazing! The owner was extremely friendly and very accommodating. Definitely should try it here.

Friendly staff! Decent Chicken Yakisoba noodles. Looking forward to trying their sushi next time I'm in town. Thanks Idy Sushi Rolls!

Amazing sushi in Idyllwild. Everything we had was epic, and I live in San Diego where there's good sushi everywhere. I'll be back!!

Excellent sushi! Fresh & delicious. My boyfriend and I visited Idyllwild from LA and would absolutely eat here again! Fantastic service.

The restaurant is very small inside, but there is some seating outside with wonderful views. My boyfriend and I wanted a quick and light lunch so we got some California Rolls and Philadelphia Rolls. Both rolls were a good size that was very filling and tasty. The ladies serving us were nice and friendly! :) read more

I ordered a takeout Philly roll with a side of kimchi for dinner while vacationing in the area. I was a bit surprised at the prices. For 8 pieces of Philly roll I spent $14. I guess this is a tourist town after all. With that said, the roll was delicious and I enjoyed kimchi as well. read more

Was definitely a skeptic-- I mean c'mon good sushi in the forest mountains? But was delightfully proven wrong. The spot is delicious! We ordered the baked spicy tuna, crunch roll, and veggie rolls and all were excellent. They should upper case GARLIC edamame cause boy you can could smell it a mile away. COVID safe as they required masks and all. Overall def recommended! read more

Really great service! Food is really good as well, especially for the price!! Affordable and yummy. I got a bento box with beef and it came with miso soup and fried veggies :) read more

Idy Sushi Rolls - Bento box with beef! - Japanese Near Me - Idyllwild, California

Really wanted sushi and this was the only place in town. Should have passed. Really wierd vibe, confusing entrance, door opens directly into kitchen area. Just strange. Should have left. Placed our order, started looking around. The place was NOT CLEAN. I really wish we had left. The 'Double Double' roll I ordered was mediocre, uninspired; more like bad grocery store sushi. Hubby had some kind of chicken. Again, lame. A couple more things... had to ask twice for water, my sushi was served without wasabi/ginger. Had to ask for it and received a TINY amount. Bill was about $45 plus tip (no drinks). Oh yes, forgot to mention they had no liquor license. So, no sake or beer. SHOULD HAVE WALKED OUT AS SOON AS WE WALKED IN. My bad! read more

This is like my 5th time in Idylwild but first time having sushi in idylwild. Sooooo good! MK our server was sweet and the food was fire. Good music good vibes would def come back. read more

Bad service all around, I had to ask multiple times for my drink and wasabi and ginger. My fish became room temp by the time I got those items. The food was mediocre. I felt like it was everyone's first day on the job. Took a peak in the back where food was prepared and it looked way to dirty for a sushi joint. I've had better service and sushi a 1000 miles away from the ocean. I would not recommend this establishment. They are just there to take advantage of tourists money and that's it. The table environment was poorly presented and I'm embarrassed that I even went there. I've seen a lot of good reviews on this place however I guess there are a lot of people that just don't know better and like getting ripped off. I don't care about the money but care about the waisted time on these wana-Be restaurant runners. read more

We went here for the second time and absolutely love the food. Everything was delicious! I ordered the teriyaki combo and vegetable egg rolls. My husband had the combo fried rice. I don't usually finish my dinner but I ate everything. So good! Can not wait to go back. read more

It was our first time visiting into town, and we were craving sushi and udon noodles really bad! My husband fell in love with the food quality here we came back a second time before leaving back home. The lady who took our order was also very sweet and you can tell she works hard. Thank you for the amazing food! read more

My wife and I live in Los Angeles - AKA Ramen City - so we are pretty demanding when it comes to ramen. Halfway through this weekend's getaway in Idyllwild, she suggested we try the new local ramen place. I was reluctant, sure we would be disappointed, but we gave it a try anyway. The food was outstanding: Veggie Ramen (Mild): Very flavorful broth, plenty of delicious noodles, a good assortment of vegetables and an egg. This may be the best vegetarian ramen we've tried, including Los Angeles! Despite ordering it mild, it had a definite dose of heat, so taste it before adding chili sauce. Chicken Yakisoba: Delicious, flavorful noodles, nice chunks of chicken and perfectly cooked chunks of cabbage that retained their crunch. Best of all was the hint of toastiness in the sauce - from toasted sesame oil perhaps? - that made the whole dish come together. I added some chili sauce (cuz that's who I am) and that made it even better. Outstanding. The service was excellent and the little space was very comfortable. I assumed a place this small in a little mountain town would be disappointing, but it was quite the opposite! These folks are working at a very high level of professionalism. We will definitely be back! read more

Super yummy. I liked their bench table outside. Friendly service. Quality fish. Enjoyed the sushi rolls here more than I do the ones I usually find in LA read more
