    FEB 2026 - AYCE prices.

    Red Wasabi is solid spot for some affordable sushi options. They do offer AYCE as well. Side note if you pay cash you get 10% off the bill. They are tucked away in the corner of the business complex. The staff here are awesome. They are genuinely kind and welcoming once you walk in. The location is quite spacious with a mix of booths, tables and of course the sushi bar. We opted to get some their regular rolls and a specialty roll to shared amongst ourselves. The location was not busy so we sat in a booth. We opted for two Salmon Rolls and an Alaskan Roll. The salmon rolls are $9.99 each which is a great deal in today's time. The rolls came to table all at the same time. The 3 rolls were perfect for us. The salmon looked fresh and we finished all of it no problem. Staff is very attentive and constantly make sure you're taken care of. I think Red Wasabi is a nice low key spot with some decent Sushi roll options. I'd definitely wanna try the AYCE one time to see how more of the specialty rolls taste. Come by and try them out! Thanks, Red Wasabi Sushi! ( ^_^)b

    Boat

    My friend and I met up for dinner on NYE. I saw that Red Wasabi was open so we met there. The inside is very spacious and has space for different sized parties. My friend and I were both going to get a roll, hand roll, and some nigiris. I saw that they had a Love Boat which included a rainbow roll, a crunch roll, a California hand roll, a spicy tuna roll, and several nigiris. The boat arrived about 10-12 minutes later. The presentation was nice! The fish tasted fresh. The portions of fish on the nigiri were generous. I definitely recommend trying the boat if there's at least a couple of people eating. Overall, good food and good customer service! Give this restaurant a try if you're in the mood for some sushi!

    I stopped by Red Wasabi in Covina for the AYCE sushi, and overall, it was a pretty pleasant experience. I'll start with the positives: parking was super easy, which is always a plus in this area. I thought the tuna was really good, definitely the highlight of the meal. However, the fish quality was a bit hit-or-miss for me. Some of it was great, but a few pieces tasted very fishy. My group didn't feel great after eating there, so I'm not totally sure which item caused the stomach upset, but it's worth noting. My other main gripe is the rice ratio. The rolls are huge and the rice is a bit heavy, which fills you up way too fast. Since each roll is about 10 pieces and they don't offer half-rolls, I felt like I was "done" after only 2 or 3 rolls. I'd probably go back for the tuna and the convenience, but I'll definitely be more selective about what I order next time!

    Food was good, service was very attentive, and the J-pop electro-pop music were bangers. Oguri Cap approves.

    This place is a must visit if you like high quality all you can eat sushi at a reasonable price. It is located where my old favorite AYCE place used to be years ago in a strip mall off Grand right by the 10 freeway. The restaurant has been beautifully decorated in what I would call Japanese pop art, although I'm sure that's not the correct name for it. We tried several different rolls, including the red wasabi roll, the spicy lobster roll, and the mango avocado roll. All of them were delicious. The fish was fresh, there was just the right balance of rice .I highly recommend the mango avocado roll. It is a breath of fresh air for your mouth! The service is great too, our server Isobella was very helpful in helping us choose a plum sake to go with our meal. We finished up with some green tea ce cream. I will definitely be back.

    We came here for the all you can eat sushi. However, our experience wasn't what we expected. The server was very sweet, but the quality of the sushi, especially the raw fish, was not fresh. If you came just for their vegetable and unagi hand rolls or there regular rolls like spider roll or Philadelphia roll, the quality is okay. Unfortunately, we wouldn't come back again I wouldn't recommend a place for those looking for fresh sushi.

    1st time here & it was outstanding!!!! I was searching for a new sushi place to try near me & this one popped up so I was intrigued to check it out. Service here is PHENOMENAL; all staff greeted, attended and checked up on us very frequently! I never had an empty glass of water, had all the condiments replenished and was even offered a complimentary green tea ice cream (de-lish) :D Food was SUPER tasty! I ordered the 3-Item House Combo Plate--Gyoza, Spicy Tuna Roll, & Beef Teriyaki. It even came with a salad & miso soup! For just $20.99, I view that as a WIN! ^.^ The STAR of the plate was the Beef Teriyaki, my goodness, it was delectable & SAVORY! The miso soup was the runner up; BEST miso base I've ever tasted! The sushi was definitely great, I can tell it was fresh! The Thai Milk Tea actually tasted like Thai tea which was a PLUS! Other places have them watered down or too milky, but this one was perfect. The atmosphere here was very cute! I loved all the decor and art they had around! The cutest one was the black cat frames eating the cuisine right by the door hehe! Ordering here was super simple and they even offer AYCE. Staff are super helpful, I had a question about ordering and what was good on the menu and was guided step by step! (: Definitely worth a trip to Red Wasabi Sushi! I'll be back for sure! (:

    If happiness had a flavor, I'm pretty sure it would taste like Red Wasabi Sushi. Came in hungry, left questioning if I've ever truly appreciated sushi before this moment. Every roll was fresh, flavorful, and dangerously addictive -- like "we should probably order one more... okay two more... alright last one for real" kind of good. But let's talk about Lucas -- the real MVP. This guy didn't just serve food, he served an experience. Attentive without hovering, funny without trying too hard, and somehow always showing up right when we needed something (I'm convinced he has ninja-level awareness). He made us feel like VIPs instead of just another table. Between the incredible sushi and Lucas making our day, this place isn't just a "we'll be back" -- it's a "how soon is too soon to come again?" situation. 10/10. Come hungry. Leave happy. Probably plan your next visit before you even hit the parking lot.

    THE BEST VALUE / BANG FOR YOUR BUCK item is the Chirashi bowl! $18 and you get 12 pcs of fish, 3 of each kind of the big 4 fish , seaweed salad, red and yellow radish, avocado , masago, and sushi rice. This is probably a pricing error on their end so RUN to get this while you can. My photo is my TAKEOUT order and you can see how large it is compared to the other places that skimp on your order

    1. Chicken Teriyaki Plate
    Christine M.

    Food was good and service was great! The ambiance had a lot of talented art on the walls. The price was great for the portion given.

    Restaurant was very clean! The service is always top notch and so super friendly. Food is always so beautifully plated. If you want a great date night for a great price..look no further!! It is our family favorite sushi restaurant. If you want to have a intimate dinner or lunch experience come try it out for yourself

We ordered chicken katsu curry, the wagyu steak rice bowl and the kiddo has his usual curry udon. All our dishes were delicious, although the clear winner was the wagyu steak rice bowl. The steak was thinly sliced and super fatty and had such great mouth-feel and really held the curry well. My kid had a little issue with his curry udon b/c he can't handle the spice level. Service was great. They were extremely patient as it was our first time there and we had a large party. We have a peanut allergy in our party and they made sure that none of the ingredients used for our dishes had any peanuts or cross contamination. At the time of this review, we had been back twice, and this place will definitely be on our rotation of good eats in the WCovina area!

Between the two of us, we shared a Baked Salmon Roll, Mango Special Roll, Rainbow Battera, and Salmon & Ikura Donburi. Everything tasted delicious. The baked salmon roll was very creamy and savory, whereas the mango special roll was sweet and indulgent. As for the rainbow battera, the flavors of each fish really stood out in every bite. With the donburi, the salmon tasted clean and fresh, making it a good contrast to the salty ikura. The seasoned sushi rice and seaweed salad created the perfect balance to the bowl. This is the place to go for high-quality Japanese food with a broad menu that caters to everyone. The menu has plenty of traditional sushi options as well as more inventive ones.

I knew what I wanted already and ordered almost immediately, but didn't get my food until about 1:50pm.

Opened the dark door, very underwhelming! Small, stark white walls. No one to welcome you, our friend waved at us, so we proceeded to the table. Our waitress stood at the end of the table. We mentioned it was our first time and may we have sometime to look over the menu ? Ok and she left, she came back 30 seconds later, are you ready to order? NO the menu is huge and we need about 5 minutes please. One minute later she said OK what would you like to order ? My husband said, please can we have sometime to look over the menu I do not know yet. The waitress STOOD there staring at us waiting for us to decide what we want. My husband is on page 2 of the menu it is just so big you can't read it all in 30 seconds or one minute.! she wouldn't leave our friend. Finally looked at her and said just a few more minutes please and she just left.. she comes back and we asked for two separate checks before we ordered. I asked for my soup to go to the daughter and it came to me anyway I just gave it to the daughter instead.. the table area where I was sitting at was so sticky and dirty. It was gross one napkin and chopsticks. Never asked if we wanted more napkins or a fork or knife or anything else once we ordered, and our food was brought to us you never heard or seen her at our table again until we asked for our check & to go boxes as she was visiting customers at the sushi bar and very attentive to them. NOT a great first Impression.! When everyone was finished with their meal and needed two takeout boxes, we asked her for them she said OK but she really was interested in the people sitting at the sushi bar and hugged on them and talked to them and we never got our takeout boxes so then we waited 20 minutes 25 minutes comes and my husband gets up and goes to the owner and says can we have two takeout boxes please? Oh yeah sure so we get them we box up our food we asked for our checks. Another 20 minutes goes by. No check after waiting 30 minutes again we get up and ask for the check, you stand there and stare at us waiting to take our order but we never see you again once our food comes and you never finish what you're doing before you go to the next table if you can't multitask then don't do it please. When the food came, I was shocked at the size the tuna rolls they were so tiny. A snail is bigger. I was un impressed with the food. Nothing had any flavor to it. No salt wasabi that was on my plate was so small it was the size of a dime!!!!! and we love our wasabi! What a joke! The restaurant is so tiny and so loud and then they had a singer to celebrate their restaurant anniversary there which was beyond loud. Tables weren't full, but yet people were standing and waiting to be seated. That made no sense.. I am not a fan of TV's on the wall's at a restaurant. Sports bar's OK but not at a restaurant specifically when there is NO Sound. If you are a local and you come to this restaurant often, then the female waitress will love you! If you're new to the restaurant, she'll stare at you and until you order food and then ignore you once your food is handed to you. We will Never be back? Never ever again you couldn't pay me to come back to this restaurant ..! Do I recommend this restaurant in Covina absolutely not no way know how not even if it was free.!!!!! What was good about our experience, the beer, the company and the fact that we left.! Yay.!!!! FYI: my to box is in the trashcan.

After confirming my name, the employee said it would be a few more minutes while my orange roll was being made--no problem, I stated. I noticed a white, plastic-sealed bag containing six to seven rolls in plastic containers, sitting on the counter, ready for pickup. I asked the employee if that was my order. She checked the name on the receipt and advised that it was not my order. Ok, no problem, I stated. I waited, and waited, and waited some more. Fifteen to twenty minutes went by, and still, no sushi.

I am a mango lover, so I really enjoyed the tropical mango taste which enriched the flavor. Snow White Roll was heavenly, very rich and savory. The shrimp shumai is another highlight. It was flavorful and juicy with perfect texture and perfect shrimp amount.Baked green mussels were savory and fresh we really had such a wonderful dinner. I will be back to try more rolls.

    I almost didn't want to leave a review because the service was great but I do kind of have to share…read moremy experience because it was pretty unacceptable. Firstly, I do want to thank the staff here, they were incredibly courteous, polite, professional, kind and communicative with us. This kind of service is rare these days and while my experience was made a lot better because of their empathetic response, I still think the quality of food needs attention. To start, this spot is at a convenient location - right next to Regal theaters, plenty of parking nearby and none of that street parking metered crap. Definitely a plus. Prices are not cheap, rolls run you about $18 and the size was pretty small. We got a protein roll and a dragon roll as the menu indicates you buy one get one half off. Dragon roll was the skinniest, tiniest, most petite roll I've ever seen in my life and just felt like they cheaped out on it, which is kind of crazy since it's basically just a California roll... imitation crab is insanely cheap, it's not even real crab. Anyway... I ordered a Tonkotsu Ramen, plain - only egg & protein and when it was served to us, all I saw was a puddle of grease on top. For those who are unaware, Tonkotsu literally translates to pork bones, so while it is definitely a hearty/fatty broth, it shouldn't have a visibly separated layer of grease on top. You know when you reheat fettuccini alfredo and the oil separates in the microwave? It looked like that. I've tried various tonkotsu ramens - some better than others btw feel free to DM me for suggestions although the locations are not in close range - but none have had that visible grease layer. To be honest, I'm not really one to send things back, although I have picked up on the habit of not accepting crap food lately, so I didn't really mention anything to the waiter regarding the ramen. I slurped my noodles, ate my egg and chashu - both were OK. The chashu was seared and hard to eat, not the usual melt-in-your-mouth deal, and left the bland, greasy broth behind. Sucks because my favorite part of ramen is, of course, the broth. That's really the whole point. Moving on... I noticed my friend stopped eating her protein roll so I was like what's up? She looked at me a little worried and said she thought the salmon was off. I scrunched my face and was like dammit now I have to try this to make sure. Smell was not off, but took a bite of the salmon and that thing was bitter. We told the waiter and he was apologetic and said he'd talk to the kitchen. They said the fish came in yesterday and while I believe them, and could easily blame the heat we've been dealing with recently, we still felt unsafe finishing the food. I appreciate them showing concern for the issue with the food and no reports of food poisoning so far - been like two days now so I'm sure we're fine. Brings me to our total of about $50. Damn. I know sushi and ramen aren't typically cheap items but the quality was nowhere near standard and unfortunately this experience was enough to dissuade me from coming back. I don't want to nitpick, but I just like giving peeps details on certain things so their experience may not come as a surprise, but the general atmosphere of this spot was also a bit... different. They were playing loud music, I recall hearing 500 Miles by the Proclaimers super loud and I was kind of like dang man it feels like I'm right in the heart of Tokyo... /s There are much, much, much better spots for ramen and for sushi, there is literally an actual Japanese restaurant right across the street from Kopan and I'd bet money you'd get way better food for more or less the same price there. Also Burger Bun is in the same plaza, place is also fire, I'll drop that review separately. TL;DR: food bad, expensive, fish off, service good, decent parking, convenient location

    Honestly great sushi! I would come back if I want to feast on some yummy rolls…read more I have zero complaints. For $38 per person it's a great find! Ambiance was lively and busy, servers were bustling around so it wasn't that hard to catch someone. My favorite roll was the Aloha roll. I wish I was more hungry so I could've enjoyed more! I'll be back soon....

    Been coming here for YEARS and at one point, I would have given this a full five stars. While the…read morefood has remained consistently good, the staff has not. I feel like the service used to be a lot better and now there just seems to be more staff turnover, so whenever I come every few months, there are always new faces, with the exception of the two managers/supervisors. The food is good and sushi always tastes fresh. They use a fairly minimal amount of rice on the nigiri, which is a plus, so I can eat more of the fish...hahaha! One of their best things is the baked mussels and to date, they are still at the top of the list compared to all other sushi spots I've been to (and there have been A LOT). They are almost always busy, (unless you come during odd hours between lunch and dinner) so be prepared for a wait. And if you do come during the busy hours, it can get a bit noisy in here, but I don't mind this at all; it just means everyone is enjoying themselves, and I'm all for people being out and socializing. (Get outta the house and off those phones!) Overall, a reliably good sushi spot, if you don't mind 'just okay' service.
