Love this place! Great vibe, great location. Service and management is always on point whether it's at the bar watching a game, or a party of 8. Not to mention the sushi is amazing! Our new weekly spot for sure. Also I hear a speak-easy soon to come.. Thanks to Beau and Eric for always taking care of us And making us feel so welcome. read more

OH SO FRESH...!! Pleasantly surprised at the ultra fresh take on these specialty sushi rolls. Very generous portions, beautiful plating supported by friendly and engaging staff. Will be back fo sure! read more

First off, this is is a different sushi place, with a different address, and they combined the accounts. Secondly, it is destined to close... again. Staff was rude, condescending, a male manager and a female entitled woman that had a weird J name. Came in Monday afternoon and was talked down to when asked about the different locations, etc, basically spoken to like a 5 year old. Picked up our order and it was wrong! Fish didn't taste fresh, AT ALL! There is a reason Old Town doesn't do sushi well. read more

Good for Happy hour. Our server Beau was great. I like the happy hour, the price point for the drinks is good and also some good food choices. They could use a few more sushi rolls on the happy hour menu. We tried quite a few of the specialty rolls but I am not sure the high price justifies the labeling special. read more

Stopped by for the Happy hour, says Everyday from 11am- 6pm I believe. And it's any beer, which they had a pretty big selection. Happy hour included house wines, well drinks & sake. I also got a spicy California roll from the happy hour just to try, so yummy! Need to come back to try more. The service was amazing, quick and friendly. read more

We had a lovely lunch here celebrating my husband's birthday. We got the protein roll, the bubba gump roll and the lemon cilantro; all were fresh and yummy. Service was quick, our server, Janelle was really nice. It's also a beautifully decorated restaurant, they did a great job with the unique decor. read more

Finally came to Tabu since hearing about its grand reopening and loved the layout. Alex helped us with our sushi rolls and they were amazing and he was very helpful (lemon cilantro roll, dragon roll & afterburner). I would highly recommend checking the place out and they even have a speak easy in the back for after dinner drinks. read more

Sadly we are seriously disappointed. Been following their IG for awhile and finally made it in. Service was terrible. Cocktails equally as bad. The food was decent. Unfortunate as there was a lot of opportunity here read more

we love Tabu! the sushi chef's Alex and Adrian give us the best service and are experts at their craft. the recent renovations are beautiful and the whole space is clean and welcoming. every staff member greets you with a smile and goes out of their way to show hospitality. shoutout to Eric, Nick, and Sos for giving us an extra special experience in their new speakeasy "Kagé" as well. the space transports you to Japan and the cocktails are perfectly balanced and delicious. we cannot wait to come back! overall best sushi spot in temecula and the speakeasy is the cherry on top read more

Tabu Sushi is one of our favorite spots. We love the sushi burrito, vegetable tempura, and their nigiri plates are always amazing. The miso soup and ginger salad are great too. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, especially sitting at the sushi bar. Service is consistently good, and we always enjoy being taken care of by Alex! read more

Very disappointing experience. The service was extremely slow, and we couldn't even find our server most of the time. We got sat by the door which I noticed got neglected because its more separated from the main dining area. Our appetizer didn't come out until after we had already finished our rolls. The chicken fried rice bowl tasted burnt, had almost no seasoning, and wasn't even like fried rice at all. We also noticed another family sending food and drinks back, so it didn't seem like we were the only ones having issues. The restaurant also adds a 3% fee to "offset rising costs". The water had a strong tap water taste, and the beer was flat. We weren't served water with our meal until we asked. Slow service, extra fee, and poor food quality made for a disappointing visit. I won't be coming back. read more

Sushi restaurant located in Old Temecula. Their signage says "Tabu Sushi". Sushi was okay, food was 3.5 out of 5 rating. Sushi rice could have been better. Atmosphere is modern but cozy, they have booths. Service was good. read more

This place is fresh and great quality! Their regular sushi rolls are delicious (splash of lemon always makes it better too). For an appetizer I recommend the baked green mussels ! I didn't take a picture of them because I was too excited and ate them before I could remember . If you are not in the mood for sushi their short rib bowl is amazing ! read more

I saw that it was a 3 1/2 star however this might just be the stars aligning .... to be fair on MY experience. It was between lunch and dinner, and not really busy at all. Maybe 4 tables seated and eating when I walked in. I sat at the sushi bar and ordered there. Just a water to drink and got my normal go to roll. Spicy Tuna. I also ordered the Magic Mikes as I want to see what can do with their house recipes. Ok, the waitress filled my water three time. 000000 complaints on service. She was on top of busing the table and drinks. My rolls came out in a decent amount of time. The rice was very good... sticky enough to hold the roll together and a soft mild flavor. The magic mikes presentation was excellent. Looks like a work of art. This thing is spicy!!! I could feel a little crunch as I was chewing down on the roll. The sliver of citrus gave it a nice finish and there was plenty of fish in the roll to justify the upper end price. The spicy tuna at 6$ is not a bad price for that roll in this town either. All and all my service was great, the speed of service was great and the food was really good. Please understand this was at a real dead time of day. I can see why there was a lot of negative comments during the busy times... but my personal experience was dead on delicious and enjoyable. I will take my wife here and maybe we can give a review during a more packed time. read more

Walked in last Friday around 5:30pm without a reservation. The hostess took our info and politely asked us to wait outside or in the car because It would be about 45 - 1 hour wait. After 45 min or so, they called and sat us right away. We were quickly greeted by a young kid (sorry can't remember the name) Really outgoing young guy suggested some drinks. The service was top notch and the food was delicious! We will definitely be back but more prepared for a dinner rush because we were starving after the wait!! read more

Came here on a Sunday to Old Town Temecula. Due to COVID19, we had to sit outside. The staff displayed good service. The sushi was of good quality, nice size and the price was reasonable. The magic mike roll was good but I think over priced at $16 or $17. The other rolls I purchased were good overall. I would come back and would recommend for people to try this spot. read more

This place was awesome! My husband and I were getting his car worked on and needed to kill 90 minutes. When we arrived our server Matthew was extremely welcoming and fun! He took amazing care of us! I don't know how much he gets paid hourly but the man deserves a raise! Best server! Ask for him! I know I will. I didn't catch the sushi chefs name but he was wonderful and welcoming as well! The food was amazing too! The baked mussels are to die for. Oyster shooter was great! And the sin city roll was perfect! What a wonderful experience! 5 stars! read more

I have been to Tabu Sushi a number of times now. I had a late lunch here 2 days ago and it was great! I enjoyed the bento box with beef and broccoli. The beef was incredibly delicious and oh so flavorful. The sauce was absolutely perfectly balanced - best I have had to date. The box comes with choice of soup ( I got Miso) and salad with very good ginger dressing. Within the box there is also tempura shrimp and veggies, steamed rice and 4 California rolls. Topping everything off was our server, Ashley, who was amazing! She was extremely engaging and took great care of us. She really made it a fun late lunch. Wonderful customer service - Thanks Ashley!! I can't wait to try other items of off their expansive list. read more

I came to this sushi place based on yelp and Groupon recommendations. The place can be pricy but so others sushi places. So they have a lot of different Dishes. They also have specials throughout the week and also others during happy hours. So I had the veggie yakisoba which was a lot of food and very tasty. Ordered two sushi plates and GTS edamame which was really good. While my cousin and I were tryin to see what to order, they have the salmon skin and I was wondering what that was and the chef heard so he told us he would make us a sample to try it. I thought that was very sweet of him. It was a lot of food, very filling and tasty. I highly recommend them. The service is outstanding and fast. I went back again to get their GTS edamame again because it was too good. It's a must try. It's garlic teryaki and spicy read more

Very nice servers and sushi chefs here. Atmosphere is calm and open. The bar is very impressive and well stocked with many different types of Sake. The menu has the classic rolls such as the California roll, Philly roll, Salmon skin, and Tuna, but also several special rolls. They also have vegetarian dishes and wonderful flavored lemonades. read more

I'm basing this review on one dish that is so amazing I had to yelp about it. Just stopping by Temecula from Pasadena en route to San Diego. Decided to go for a lite snack. I chose the creamy lobster appetizer. Wow! Slightly crunchy with the sweet creamy lobster steaming inside. Light sauce over it. The deep fried lobster is not greasy at all. I assume everything else here is fresh and scrumptous. Even if you plan on dining elsewhere I suggest you at least stop by for the creamy lobster appetizer. Kaylee was my super nice server and offered up great winery suggestions and places to see in Temecula. This place is at the far end of the strip. read more

Ok Covid-19 has been such a ...... well won't go into that. What I want to brag about is the customer service at this place. For me not so good food often makes or breaks an experience, but with good service I probably would give a place another try. So is the case here. The food was ok, nothing I would say, "Yeah, lets go there again." But I definitely would try the place again just because of the customer service. The hostess and waitress were welcoming, pleasant, attentive, and over all just made the experience great. I'd come to eat out in the patio with friends or family. The food was what it was, teriyaki chicken, tempura shrimp, calamari, spicy scallop hand roll and a spicy tuna hand roll, definitely not bad. Over all had a great time with my husband. read more

A sushi gem in Temecula! After a long day in LA, my family and I were searching for a sushi place for dinner on our way home to SD. I'm very picky where I take down my sushi but when you're craving sushi and it's getting late, I went with the first place that popped up closest to the direction we were driving. Tabu was quick to seat us and took our order, considering how busy they were getting on a Saturday night. The joint was very clean, had a solid bar (sushi + alcohol), and vibe was great! But more importantly, the sushi did not disappoint! We had a few rolls (especially the lemon cilantro roll!), and GTS edamame - to die for! For a Saturday night, they also had a decent amount of specials in their menu! I've been to a few sushi spots in Temecula, but Tabu is by far my favorite! read more

Gaby. Gaby, Gaby & Mike. I was in today for take away lunch. Gaby made sure I was very well taken care of. I felt like an honored guest, if you want to know. In these difficult times; it was more than a pleasure to be welcomed as I was. Gaby, from my heart... My sincere thanks for doing all the things to make me feel special... AND now, I've had the good eats that Mike prepared. Just fabulous, nothing less. Ladies & Gentlemen (and everyone in between and younger)... We need to protect the restaurants we love and new ones we have not yet been to. Do not take for granted that they'll just continue. This is the time to go out there order something to go (including your adult beverage if you like). And I'm not kidding... You can take your drink to go!! Well done ABC!! It's Tabu Sushi deserves to be on your list. So, in closing... Gaby, Mike: My heartfelt thanks for being a highlight of my day... From your friend... Bruce... read more

This is my second visit (once at dinner, now at lunch), and I'm still impressed. The staff are all so friendly, from sushi chef to waiter to manager, and we were even recognized for our second visit and told, "Welcome back!" The sushi here is wonderful. It's plated well, tasty as all get out, and the ingredients seem fresh. The salmon kama lunch special is also exceptionally well cooked. Serious kudos to the kitchen staff. Please try the GTS Edamame - it's garlic-y spicy goodness! Dessert (pictured) was such a masterpiece, it made me want to actually review the place. Thank you, sushi tabu, for the two great dining experiences. We plan to become regulars. read more

The server we had must be new, otherwise I can't see why she would still be employed. She got a few things wrong with our order, didn't bring an item or two at all, and caused the manager to check on us a couple times. The sin city roll I ordered had a little too much cream cheese. Otherwise, it wasn't bad. My mom ordered the chicken teriyaki bento, and everything was good but the chicken was a little dry. My sister's roll was good as well, though I can't remember the name of it. The mochi was delicious. Definitely the best I've had in Temecula, and also better than some places I've bought them in San Jose. They weren't frozen solid, but soft and chewy, without the sorbet being melted. We will definitely be coming back to use our second coupon. read more
