    Sushi was wonderful, fresh and delicious. Service was fantastic. Love the self service sauce bar. Price was decent. Ambiance was clean and vibrant. Some of the sides and tempura need a bit more flavor. Garlic noodles were a little in the bland side. Tempura a batter on the dark and over saturated with oil. Overall, the Nigiri was the big winner. And kept me wanting more. Enjoy!

    Pleasantly surprised. I love everything about sushi and was skeptical when we found this place in Corona. Boy were we wrong. The food was delicious, came out fast, and great pricing!

    The quality of food here was a 10/10. I loved all the appetizers that they had to offer, especially the fried squid legs. Those are so good. The baked mussels! AMAZING!! Honestly, I ate the appetizers way too fast for my own good. I didn't even have a chance to take a picture of them. We ordered: fried squid legs, takoyaki, fried soft shell crab, jalapeno poppers, miso soup, and baked mussels. I mean yes of course we ordered the sushi and sushi rolls, but to be honest I feel like a sushi place has to have good apps for it to make me think it's good!! For the sushi, the rice portion was fair! Additionally all the fish we ordered was very fresh. We also were offered carpaccios on the menu. So delicious. Very cool to have a Mexican Japanese fusion with sushi! The avocado sauce that topped some of the dishes was super delicious! One of the things I did not like were the salads. The pictures of the salad were a little misleading. I ordered avocado salad and it was pictured as like 2 avocados sliced on a bed of lettuce but when received it, there was actually a lot of salad and only 3 slices of avocado. The service was really fast! They responded quick to our needs and requests. We were part of the first group of customers and I was worried the staff would have been overwhelmed with way too many orders at the very start of the day, however it was really swift and organized. The restaurant is super clean and there really is a lot of space in between the chairs and tables. I always have a bit of a complaint when the restaurant feels crowded but this one is perfectly spaced. I don't have any complaints for the interior. Parking is also very easy! Spacious and lots of spots! Price was very fair. Lunch special pricing is $30 a person and kids are charged by height. Parties of 5 of more have an auto gratuity.

    My friends and I waited about an hour to eat at Sushi Loco, which made it feel like this place was really going to live up to the hype, and it definitely did. The sushi was so fresh and flavorful, and the staff was incredibly kind and attentive despite how busy it was. There was a small mix-up with another table's order. The AYCE policy is one soft shell crab per person, but we accidentally received another table's plate. We didn't realize it until we had already eaten some of it, but once we noticed, we let the server know and gave them the ticket it came with. It was a little awkward, but the staff handled it calmly and professionally, which we appreciated. One thing to note is that there's no strict order limit, so we got a little excited and ordered a ton of nigiri all at once. Because of that, it did take a while for everything to come out. The appetizers tended to arrive first, so I recommend pacing yourself when ordering so you're not waiting too long between rounds or getting full too quickly. Aside from that, everything else came out correctly and was absolutely delicious. The rolls were creative, well made, and definitely a hit with my group, everyone kept talking about their favorites. Even with the long wait, the overall experience felt worth it. The music was very early 2010s, which honestly added a fun, nostalgic vibe to the whole night. It made the atmosphere feel lively and a bit more memorable. All in all, this is a solid spot for sushi, great food, friendly service, and a fun ambiance. I would definitely come back again, just maybe plan ahead for the wait next time!

    I love the variety of appetizers , sushi, hand rolls, dessert included and that a cute robot serves it . The price is affordable and I love the location . The Mexican Japanese fusion is fun and interesting. Food tastes very good and kids approved . Reserve on yelp first

    Trang T.

    Finally a spot in Corona where the sushi is really good and the fusion actually works! We came here for lunch with the kids over the weekend. When we got there, we signed in and waited for our text message to be seated. The wait was about 25 mins for a table of 4. The pricing for AYCE is reasonable. The kids usually don't eat much sushi so we never do AYCE for them and always get à la carte items but pricing for AYCE for kids is very reasonable and pretty worth it since à la carte would've been more expensive. The waiter was very helpful. Appetizers for AYCE is smaller but you can order multiples. Everything is included in the AYCE menu minus the bento box so it wasn't bad to just do AYCE for the kids too. The food ordering was simple, you scan the QR code, look through each section and order on the app and the food comes out. They also have a sauce bar and ice cream area. The sauce bar, I think I can do without it since ppl always tend to drop things onto other areas within the bar and it just gets mixed together and gross. I rather just ask for ginger and get it brought to me without have to dig or move things since the area where the wasabi was, was right next to the ginger and it was literally getting mixed into it. Not a pleasant site so that really deterred me from wanting to grab any other sauces there. Overall, sushi was fresh. Everything tasted great. Pricing is reasonable. The process to order was easy. Definitely will come back.

    One of the BEST sushi spots in the IE! SERVICE: This place is POPULAR by the locals. So expect to wait an hour if you're go between 3-7pm. If it's packed, you'll need to go inside and check yourself in through the machine. When it's not packed, service is pretty quick! ATMOSPHERE: The space inside is pretty large, and the servers have been pretty attentive. You'll see a robot rolling around serving your sushi too! There's also a little condiment station at the back where you can grab some ginger & sauces (love that!). FOOD: The sushi is fresh! I've never had a concern. This spot has a great variety of specialty rolls. They also have ramen, poke, and great appetizers! Definitely worth every penny! I love ordering the Strawberry Cheesecake Roll, Red Dragon, Firecracker Roll, Candy Cane Roll, & Black Dragon Rolls. AND you can get free icecream after you've paid your bill. PARKING: Plenty of parking spaces. You might have to circle a bit if you go during peak hour (4-7pm OR the weekend).

    Hosted a Sunday birthday lunch for a party of 16, and it was a great experience. Docking a Star for the loud music and lack of a system to track which items have been delivered and which are still to come out. TLDR: highly recommend, especially for lunch before the crowds arrive. Service was friendly and attentive. Cassandra and Jonathan were our primary servers, and they accommodated our large party (4 tables of 4), half of whom were seniors who found it difficult to hear the ordering instructions and needed additional support to place their AYCE orders through their smartphones. The restaurant has a mix of booth and table seating that can accommodate large parties; arriving as soon as they opened made it simpler to sit together without a wait. We used 1 device per table to order, which they consolidated into one ticket at the end. Our table started with the nigiri before diving into the appetizers as the restaurant charges for leftover sushi. We maxed out on the carpaccio and soft shell crab, and limited the number of rolls and "filler" . While our receipt was one of the longest that the server said he'd seen, we did really well with our order, with nearly no leftovers. The Mexican-inspired/fusion items were a big hit, especially with the different sauces (aguachile, jalapeño, chili garlic). The tuna, salmon and white tuna were fresh and the soups well seasoned. We ordered one baked roll that I wasn't a fan of, but others liked. Other favorites included the creamy ramen, seared beef nigiri, shrimp tempura, crispy squid, nacho French fries and green mussels. I'd pass on the salmon poke on wonton chip. Our orders were delivered by hand and by a robot server. As I mentioned earlier, it was difficult to keep track of which dishes had already been delivered -- the servers would ask if everything had come out, but we'd lost track since no one told us what the dishes that did come were. I think there might have been a mixup with the initial delivery, with our table receiving some of another table from our party's order. It would be nice to be able to look at our order online and see which had already been made and sent out so we could gauge whether to order more. As we were preparing to close out our order, they asked if we were celebrating anything. When they learned we were there for a birthday, they brought out a slice of cheesecake with a sparkler candle and sang happy birthday, which was sweets All in all, a nice addition to this shopping plaza, which includes Thai, Korean and Mexican eateries.

    Garlic Noodles, Sauteed Garlic Edamame, Chicken Teriyaki

    Wait time was about 30-40 min on a busy Sunday night, AYCE was $34.99/person which honestly is a better value than if you were to order individual items for a small party of like 2. You order through your phone(AYCE) by scanning the QR Code on the table. You can order as much as you want at once. Few items limit to one per person. They'll take your order if you aren't. Food was really delicious, all of the sushi we received that night tasted fresh, the apps were good as well (non sushi) except the chicken karaage, it just came out sad. Would skip out on that next time. Food also comes out quickly as the sushi bar is big and there's plenty of staff prepping the sushi as they come out. Place is pretty clean, with plenty of seating and spaced out walk space to get though the restaurant.

    Carrisa J.

    Don't get me wrong, this place is the place for AYCE--great price and great quality. There is always a wait so be prepared and put your name on the waitlist before you get here. Menu has so much variety, which I love. There are sushi options and also kbbq and ramen if you'd like. Our favorites were all the carpaccios and the salmon rollin no rice roll. Here are some things that made me rethink my 5/5 stars: When you get here, you have 90 mins total, including 75 mins to order. They are veryyyy strict with the time and we weren't reminded until the very end. They have a countdown and will be eyeing you like a hawk. There was also a huge gap between our food orders, meaning many didn't come until near the end. I get that there are many people waiting but I wish there were more flexibility in their policies, especially when we ordered some rolls in the beginning which didn't come until the very end. They really will charge you for each piece you don't finish so be extremely aware of that. Because of the long wait between the rolls, we were pretty rushed by the end of our time, which was frustrating. Other than that, if you abide to their many rules, I think you'll have a great experience.

    I was a little weary of this place at first as I've only been to places in OC. I can say this place was nice. The sushi here can be a hit or miss. The salmon nigiri was frozen and you could tell as the outside was warm but the inside was colder than the outside. Other than that the food was pretty good! Some of the sushi I liked better than other such as the salmon lemon nigiri or the seared salmon nigiri :) Our server Bridgett was so nice!! She was always checking up on us and making sure our orders always went through! 10/10 best service I've had all holiday season :) Overall: would come here again! Service was nice and food was pretty good but not like life changing good

    Sushi Loco is an interesting all-you-can-eat Japanese & Mexican fusion cuisine in Corona. AYCE lunch is $29.99 (till 3pm), and $32.99 for dinner. You do have the option to order by plate, but I feel AYCE is a better value. There is a QR code on each table to place your order. That's a plus feature for an AYCE eatery considering we only have 90 minutes to place orders. I just wish the webpage has a search feature to find a particular item due to its massive options available. I loved it when a robot stopped at out table to deliver our orders. We tried a couple Mexican cuisine inspired sushi items, such as ceviche, sushi nachos, among others. I might have overlooked in the menu, but I would love to have a bowl of ramen or udon. I liked its interior decorations. Tables and booths are comfortable. Service was acceptable but shorthanded in my opinion. We waited much longer than expected since we were the only party waiting and we can see many open tables. I actually put my name on the Waitlist app trying to get someone's attention. Overall it was a pleasant experience and

    My family (me, my wife and my son) are so saddened to find out that Rakki Sushi ended up closing…read morewhen we wanted to go a few months ago. Rakki Sushi had the best ratio of fish to rice. We stumbled upon Rakki when we first moved to Chino Hills in 2023, and took a break from coming when our son was in the oven. It was definitely our go to Sushi spot when we had the energy to make it out there. We loved the various choices of nigiri, sushi rolls and even the appetizers. Shortly before they closed, the owner even gave us a complimentary yellowtail collar which was absolutely delicious, amazingly flavorful and super juicy (we never ordered this previously, since we always went with the AYCE option). The AYCE was very reasonably priced for what you got, and could be considered on the very cheap end, for quality of the food you got and options available. Rakki Sushi got high praises from our foodie friends who would visit us as well. The chef and staff were always super nice, they always came to check on how we were doing when they weren't too overwhelmed with the busyness, and we loved how super friendly they were. Our son loved the staff as well, and he always gave them smiles back in response to theirs. The ambience was more of a local/casual sushi spot, rather than somewhere fancy, which my wife and I greatly enjoyed since we like dressing comfortably in just t-shirts and joggers. The tables, seats, and utensils were always clean when we went there. The men's restroom wasn't the cleanest looking, but given the location it was understandable. Plus, we were there for the food, and not really to strictly use the restroom. We greatly miss you Rakki Sushi and hope you are able to come back one day!

    I read some of the reviews that this is one of the best AYCE sushi places and I've been wanting to…read moretry it. The place didn't look like much from the outside -- a little run down in an older strip mall. But you can't judge a restaurant from the facade. I wouldn't say it's the best sushi I've ever had -- it's not. But for an AYCE place -- wow, it's pretty good. My previous favorite place was tomikawa in Irvine, but this place might be better. All the sushi we had was pretty fresh. And the other stuff we had such as jalapeno poppers and gyoza were very flavorful and tasty. The baked scallop could have been a little less runny, but the flavor was very good. The pieces of sushi are all very small -- I provide a picture with my index finger for perspective. Since the place is AYCE, this isn't a diss... Just something you should know. So if you think you want 4 large pieces of sushi, you might order 6 or even 8 here. In a way, I actually liked the smaller pieces, as they're easier to pop in your mouth and chew, and you can easily order a lot of different kinds to try without worrying that you can't finish all of them. The only thing missing is udon or ramen. I like to finish off a meal with a little warm noodles, and that's a notable miss. I'm not sure it's totally worth a deliberate trip from Irvine ... But we're definitely going to stop by any time we're in the area.

We were sitting at the bar yesterday evening and a rude customer had treated the female staff poorly and caused a scene, the general manager handled the aggressive customer with grace and respect.

The GM had kindly attempted to deescalate the situation but was met with disrespect.

    This review is long overdue…read more I've been coming here on and off for the past two years since moving to the area, and every time I give the sushi another chance, it disappoints. This last visit (April 18) was the worst yet. The drinks are actually great, the bartenders know what they're doing. That's the only redeeming part of this place. Now the sushi... completely different story. It took an hour to get a lobster roll, and what showed up had little to no lobster. It was mostly shrimp, not even a mix, and to make it worse, there was visible shrimp vein (yes, the poop tract) still in it. Completely unacceptable, especially for something being sold as a lobster roll. (See photo.) It also took another hour to get just three types of sushi, and the yellowtail was cut poorly, chewy and full of muscle, not clean or fresh. At this point, this isn't a one-off experience, it's a pattern. I've given this place multiple chances, and the food quality and timing consistently miss the mark. If you want good sushi, skip this place. If you want solid cocktails, sit at the bar and leave it at that.
