I gotta tell you... I really liked this place Took my son to take care of the all you can eat and it really was good. Price is good and the quality of the sushi is solid. Don't go ready to eat, what I will day is you will wait a little while BUT it because they were busy, I went in today on a Monday 12pm. Service was kind so it wasn't bad. I will come back for sure

Sushi Asahi has great deals on Grub Hub. Buy one get one! I couldn't skip out on the awesome deal. When I got there to pick up my order, it wasn't even a second later that I was greeted and confirmed my order! I love that kind of service. The space was nice, although I got my food to go. I got their baked mussels, yum!!! I can eat 4 orders of there's. I also ordered their rainbow roll and their crunch roll. Both were just okay, but I'm find with that. All in all, very delicious and I'd order from them again.

I've been to Asahi Sushi five times in the last month, and I think that alone says how much I love this place. Every single visit has been consistently amazing. The fish is always fresh, the quality never disappoints, and the albacore has become my absolute favorite. What really sets Asahi Sushi apart is the service. Since gratuity is included, every staff member helps take care of every table. My drinks are constantly being refilled, empty plates are cleared right away, and someone is always making sure we have everything we need. It feels like a true team effort, and I've never felt ignored. I also love that you order directly from your phone. It makes the experience so much more efficient because you're never waiting to flag someone down to place another order. Even when the restaurant is packed--which it usually is--the food comes out surprisingly fast unless you're with a very large group. For around $40 all-you-can-eat, I honestly think it's one of the best values around. The biggest compliment I can give this restaurant is that I never used to like raw sushi until I came to Asahi Sushi. Now I crave it and keep coming back. Five visits in one month later, I can confidently say this has become my favorite sushi spot. If you're thinking about trying it, do yourself a favor and go--you might end up becoming a regular like I did.

Back After 10 Years -- Did It Still Hold Up? I used to eat at Sushi Asahi - Riverside every Friday for lunch, so after nearly 10 years, I was genuinely excited to return while I was back in the area. We arrived just after the lunch rush and initially found plenty of open tables, which made for a relaxed start to our AYCE sushi experience. The ambiance was good: Lots of seating outside as well. Ordering on your phone was also easier to keep track of what we ordered and still had coming. We kicked things off strong with the Baked Mussels, Diablo and Volcano roll and the limited-to-one-order-per-person carpaccios. As the restaurant filled up, the energy picked up and so did the wait times between rounds. Pretty typical for a busy all-you-can-eat spot, but worth noting if you come during peak hours. Once we moved into the nigiri portion, we both felt the fish quality dipped slightly compared to the opening rounds. Nothing bad at all -- just not quite on the higher end of sushi we've had recently. Of course, that didn't stop us from ordering six more rolls... which officially did us in. We managed to narrow it down to five pieces of Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna and Salmon before finally tapping out. Elite Tip: If your party has fewer than six leftover pieces total, they'll let you take them home without an extra charge -- a clutch move when AYCE ambition exceeds stomach capacity. Overall, it felt like revisiting an old favorite -- nostalgic, satisfying, and still a solid option when the sushi craving hits. Glad we made the return visit after all these years.

It was our first time here at Sushi Asahi and it will definitely be one of our top places to visit! We came here for my hubby's birthday and our waitress AEY was super friendly, knowledgeable, and gave good recommendations. She was absolutely fun and provided good service. Her bubbly personality made our dining experience quite memorable and pleasureable. I love how they turn the lights off and play fun music while bringing out a slice of cheesecake for my hubby. Top notch service for sure! We came here for their $29.99 weekday AYCE lunch special and it was so worth it. Sushi comes in 2 pieces and Rolls comes in 4. My favorites included the spicy tuna with crispy rice, yellow tail carpaccio, rainbow roll, and their large fried shrimp. I also ordered the honeymoon roll which actually had no rice which was good as I am watching my carb count. Basically, each round of orders are made fresh and you can order another round after 10 minutes. What I like about this place is there is no limit to rounds so that was nice. Their gyoza was lightly fried and delicious. We got the calamari but it wasn't as good as the other dishes. My hubby likes the karaage and katsu but I feel like the sauce was too much. Next time I will ask for sauce on the side. I was quite thorougly surpised at how light and tasty the mango avocado salad was. Overall, great memorable experience thanks to AEY. I hope she will be our waitress next time we visit! This restaurant is located in the Albertson plaza and next to Daily Brew Coffee house! Plenty of parking in the front and it also has a Yelp waitlist so thats convenient!

This is my absolute favorite sushi spot! I always find myself craving their mango salad and seared lemon pepper salmon. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and the quality of the fish is consistently rich and flavorful. Their seasoning is amazing, and you can tell they put a lot of care, effort, and attention into both the presentation and quality of every dish. My only complaint is the size of the restaurant. It's very small, and when it gets busy, the seating can feel cramped. I personally prefer sitting at the bar because the tables are packed so closely together. If you're seated elsewhere, you often have to squeeze past other guests to get to your seat or leave the table, which can be a little uncomfortable and awkward. That said, the food is absolutely worth it. I recommend coming during less busy hours if possible to avoid the crowded seating situation. Despite the limited space, the sushi is outstanding, and it's a place I keep coming back to again and again.

First time eating here, went for the AYCE on the weekend for lunch time. During the week, it's $30 a person and $35 for dinner, but $35 all day on the weekends. The restaurant is pretty open-spaced with lots of tables which are pretty close together. TVs for viewing and they have physical menus with a QR code you can scan and order on your phone and they will bring it you, which is pretty cool. They have lots of fresh roll options which unique combinations and classic rolls you would expect. They also have Nigiri, but my only complaint would be that the Nigiri's are packed with rice and that means the fish to rice ratio is off (it's mostly rice). Besides that, the fish is flavorful and tastes very fresh and for $35, is an amazing price! They also have plenty of appetizers like Calamari and shrimp which were pretty good. The service was fast and easy, but they do limit the carpaccio to one order per person. I saw reviews complaining about the service but we came when it was packed and did not have any problems. Lastly, the restaurant is located in a big plaza with plenty of parking and next door to Albertsons so parking was quick and easy and it was nice to stop by the market after. Overall, a great and quite reasonably priced AYCE spot, will be back!

This hands down is one of my favorites!!!! Been going here for yearssssss. Ngl, it had been a cool minute since I was last here. Decided to do an ayce date with a good friend of mine. Oh boy did we eat. Also realized that a few things had changed. Change is good. In this case, the new ordering system is amazing. So fast & convenient. And we can even pay that way. The sushi here is always on point! They had a few new items, that's probably why we ate so much, we wanted to try all the new items!!! Always busy, always packed but the staff still remain kind & helpful. And for the pricing, still one of the best with the best food & service.

If you're looking for great sushi in Riverside, Asahi Sushi is a solid choice. The flavor is consistently on point--fresh fish, well-balanced rolls, and everything tastes like it's made with care. What really stands out is the all-you-can-eat option. The price is very reasonable for the quality you get, and the portions don't feel "cheap" like some AYCE spots. You can actually enjoy a variety without sacrificing taste. Service is friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe is relaxed--perfect for a casual night out or grabbing sushi with friends. Definitely a go-to spot if you want good sushi without overpaying.

This place has decent sushi. We came here for all you can eat. Service was nice. I like how they give you smaller portions so you can try more items. They have decent appetizers. Some of the sushi was oddly salty. I think it was the imitation crab mixture inside that was salty. It's not a huge place so expect to wait a little. It's a decent spot if you're craving sushi and are in the area.

This all you can eat was the best. forgot to take a picture of the rolls but this restaurant was busy all night, which is always a good sign, but the atmosphere still felt fun and welcoming with really great vibes throughout. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly even with how packed it was. Everything we ordered was delicious. A huge shoutout to our waitress Aey she was phenomenal. Super friendly, and made the whole experience even better with her great service and positive attitude. You can tell she really cares about the customers. Definitely one of the better sushi experiences I've had in Riverside. Will for sure be coming back. Goodnight food coma Zzzz!

After a hike, we decided to have lunch as a group of three. We arrived at 11:20ish, right before it opened. It was perfect timing because they put out a waitlist screen 5 minutes later and were seated within 10 minutes after that. We were quickly seated, and our server was very nice. They helped explain how the menu works since we mentioned it was our first time. We decided it would be best to do the AYCE menu for $35/pp and they also let us know it included gratuity. We quickly got started and ordered with the QR code they gave us. There were so many options, but I definitely recommend mainly going with the sashimi for the best bang for your buck. The fish itself tasted very fresh and great quality. It was so great to be able to taste the different flavors of each fish. The rolls were also very creative and just the perfect ratio of flavor and textures. The sushi all came out at a good pace, so it was nice that we didn't have to wait too long, but we did time our orders to help ensure that. Based on the price, quality of food, and quality of service, I would strongly recommend this spot! We definitely want to come back again!
