We were greeted by VANESSA. She provided excellent customer service with her smile and professional attitude... MIXED TEMPURA PLATE: 9/10 My favorite tempura was the JALAPENO tempura! What a great idea and rare to find in this area. I also liked the pumpkin, sweet potato and zucchini tempura as well... BENTO BOX SALMON: 8/10 The salmon was really thin and on the small side. The CALIFORNIA was good but, the rice was a bit on the cold side. It doesn't come with tempura so you have a choice of sashimi or California rolls... SHRIMP FRIED RICE: 8/10 The green sauce is usually the reason why I order this dish in the first place. I feel like the recipe or chef has CHANGED over the years... AMBIANCE: 9/10 Great ambiance! I love the new modern decor. Great place for a date night, family and friends gathering. They also have 2 big screen TVs so you never have to miss a GAME!!! FIRE FISH SUSHI AND MORE IS ON FIRE!!!!

This area of the mall has already some of fav food so this just adds to it This is like the very popular Sugar Fish style in OC. Basically your best bet is taking one of the omakase sets. I've been here three times now and I'll say while the food is consistent the service is not. Some of the servers can't explain the food like others do but this is a small issue that I hope they fix otherwise this is an amazing find in the wine country area that's use to rather generic sushi rolls with a ton of sauce to drown it in. This is nigiri to a very level and everything is worth trying

All of the servers were friendly, attentive, and quick to check in on us. We never had to flag anyone down or wait long for assistance. The menu offers a great variety of options, making it easy to find something for everyone. We ordered the Black Garlic Ramen, Shrimp Tempura Udon, Garlic Edamame, and a variety of rolls. Everything came out quickly, was fresh, and tasted great. The ramen and rolls were especially enjoyable, and there wasn't much left behind except for the broth. The only item that missed the mark for me was the Garlic Edamame. It was coated in quite a bit of sauce, which ended up overpowering the flavor of the edamame itself. I'd recommend ordering it with less sauce or asking for it on the lighter side if possible. Overall, the prices were reasonable, the food was good, and the service was attentive. If I'm back in the area, I'd definitely stop by again.

I was hoping for soy sauce and spicy tuna, not a front row theater seat of political stress-induced nausea. Food may have been fine, but the atmosphere completely ruined my appetite. There are enough places in the world pushing politics at us all day long I don't need it with my California roll too. Unfortunately won't be coming back. There are many other sushi restaurants to enjoy in temecula. This is not one.

This time, I specifically tried some dishes I hadn't tried before. The omelet rice had a very soft egg crepe, and the rice inside was incredibly fragrant; it was a perfect match with ketchup. I also recommend the kimchi fried rice, topped with a fried egg--very appetizing. The lean and fatty roll was also refreshing and healthy, suitable for those on a diet. The grilled fish and fried shrimp heads were also delicious, fried to a crisp, and made a great side dish. Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal and give it a five-star rating! One small suggestion: On my previous visits, the restaurant had a faint, unpleasant odor; hopefully, this will be improved next time.

So disappointing. I've been here a few times and enjoyed the food but the owner must've changed. As…read moresoon as I walked in, it smelled like sewage. I should've walked out then. We sat down and the menu had no prices for the sushi. The waiter said I would need to ask the price for each item...Why?? Why not have the prices listed on the menu. Seems odd. The sushi itself was mediocre. The fish was ok, kids said they liked their rolls but you can't go wrong with rolls, right? The amount of ginger and wasabi they provided was ridiculous. Price for the quality is ridiculous. It was a Saturday night at 6pm and the place was empty. This place used to be so busy! That should've been a red flag when we walked in. A few rolls, 6 pieces of sushi, and 2 handrolls...we paid $150 including tip, no alcohol. We'll def be finding a new sushi spot in Temecula.

We have tried other local sushi places around the area and we always find ourselves comparing everything to this place. It's not a fancy high-end expensive sushi place where you need reservations days or weeks in advance. On the contrary, it's a small sushi restaurant that's part of a several chains of restaurant in town in a strip mall and it's a first come first serve basis. The environment is very pleasant and quite intimate. It's got just enough lighting and ambience to make it feel very homey and comfortable. There are a few TVs around to watch sports if you need to, but otherwise it's a nice place for dinner with family or friends to just enjoy good food, beer from the tap and chill and have conversations. Over the years, they have changed some of the menu pricing and different types of specials but nonetheless everything here is top-notch in my book. If you are ever craving for fresh oysters, this is the best right here! The rolls are a good size as well as the sashimi which is always fresh and highest grade and taste excellent every single time. The staff are always friendly and attentive. This is the only place I recommend for family and friends for sushi in town.

Came here for my birthday (like everyone else, lol, there were at least 10-15 other birthdays…read moreduring the short time we were there). The server was great, very attentive. My daughter asked for another cherry and she brought a whole bowl. I took off a star for two reasons: 1) the women's restroom was very messy and dirty (clogged toilet, paper towels and toilet paper everywhere). When you go to the restroom right before dinner and this is what you see, it is very unappetizing. 2) our chef was very boring and did the bare minimum, even after I requested a chef who is extra good with kids when I made my reservation. I grew up going to the Shogun in Pasadena, and those chefs knew how to put on a show. The remodel really elevated the ambiance. The wallpaper is beautiful. The food was delicious, no complaints there.

It came out to about $50 each person because the tip was already priced in. I had the teriyaki chicken which ironically was the worst part of the meal. The place was very busy and looked elegant and the style with the waitress and cooks were totally different and very fast flowing than the last time I came here. They all were nice and happy. It was a bit hot in there and the cook with the knives we really sweating. If I thought too much about it then it would have grossed me out since he was wiping his sweat on his sleeves which was close to the knives. He did a lot of magic tricks and I think he expected tips because I saw his tips jar with money in it. However no one tipped because most were teens which was a good thing since they forced an 18% tip into the final price anyway without asking. I had a problem with the garlic butter and the jokes about it which was said to be the secret ingredient. As you can see in the pictures it was huge like a cake,! Not healthy at all since it was used for the rice, vegetables, lobster, noodles, chicken, and salmon. (More garlic butter than oil) This was definitely not Japanese style-or Korean style for that matter. When you got Gen restaurant and cook for yourself, you're not throwing garlic butter on everything. It's a good party time if you have the money for it and not annoyed about all the garlic butter being used in every dish.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted right away and seated promptly. Service was attentive, and the restaurant looked clean and welcoming. We started with a few appetizers the spicy edamame was delicious with the perfect kick and a hint of sweetness. The fried tempura was fresh, crispy, and had that satisfying crunch. We also tried the rainbow roll, which was fresh and tasty. We ordered the spicy ramen as well, but it was extremely salty for my taste. I mentioned it to our waitress, and she was very kind, appreciated the feedback, and took it back right away. Great customer service goes a long way. Overall, a solid spot if you're in town and craving sushi. Worth stopping by!

I've been meaning to write more in my reviews, but nothing lately has inspired me to do so. Toro…read moreSushi made me feel enlightened! There's something honest about a new sushi spot finding its footing, and Toro Sushi leans into that simplicity in the best way. No gimmicks, no overreaching, just clean cuts of fish, thoughtfully plated, and priced like they actually want you to come back. The sashimi (even the "small") punches above its weight, fresh, clean, no nonsense. You taste the ocean, not the freezer. That's already half the battle won. The sleeper hit here is the bento box. It's the kind of meal that reminds you value still exists, generous without being sloppy, filling without feeling like a compromise. The kind of plate that earns repeat business. Come in around 5:30 and it's still catching its breath. By 6, though, the place finds its pulse, busy, lively, the kind of energy you want in a neighborhood spot that's clearly starting to click. Service was kind, and quick, food came out decent too. The tempura shrimp and veggies was crisp and not too oily. The room itself? Polished. Modern. Spotless. Someone cares, and it shows. But like any place finding its stride, there are gaps. The men's restroom is a one-person situation, and if you've got a kid, you're out of luck, no changing table in the men's room, us millennial dads are not afraid of a poppie diaper. Not a dealbreaker, but a miss in a family-heavy area. Still, Toro Sushi doesn't try to be the loudest spot in the room, it just quietly does enough things right to make you want to return. And honestly, that's the kind of place that lasts.
