Had an absolutely amazing experience at UMI at Pechanga! We tried a variety of items throughout the meal and genuinely enjoyed every single one. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and delicious. I have to give a special shoutout to our waiter, Dylan! He was phenomenal! Not only was the service top notch, but Dylan was hilarious, personable, and kept the energy of the meal alive the entire time. He knew when to check in, made us laugh, and genuinely added to the experience rather than just serving our table. I also want to recognize the hostess, Kelsey, who was absolutely amazing and made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The hospitality from beginning to end was exceptional. Fantastic food, great atmosphere, and even better people. read more

Whenever I go to Pechanga, my wife and I have to eat at Umi Sushi and Oyster Bar. If I stay for 4 days, 3 nights, I always go two nights. Their food is just that delicious! Their sushi is so fresh and they have a wide selection of dishes. I always ask for Ernie and Angelica. Ernie especially always remembers our favorites and gives great recommendations. If you get them, you are guaranteed to have a wonderful dinner and pleasant night! The three hosts at the front are also very warm, friendly, and as helpful as "Charlie's Angels"! Umi Sushi and Oyster Bar is a must-eat in Temecula! read more

Happened upon this place during my stay at Pechanga Casino... The restaurant is beautiful and very well maintained. The dim lighting and layout makes the restaurant look very relaxing and they have plenty of seating whether it's for a small or large group. I got the spicy tuna roll and my partner got the california roll... very good sushi. Flavors are great and presentation is nice. Our server Jonas was very kind and provided exceptional service, the manager also walks around the place checking on each guest which I think is very kind and shows they really care about each guest. 10/10! I will be back :) read more

The wife and I are back at Umi this evening. Had to wait a little while for our table but not that long. We were seated at a very nice corner booth at the back of the restaurant. A quiet place in spot away from the busy bar. Today we ordered the sashimi platter, vegetable tempura, and pork belly udon. The sashimi was presented beautifully and was very fresh. We ordered the vegetable tempura again and it was nicely battered and crisp not oily. The wife was cold so we ordered the Pork belly udon. It was tasty and warm. Our server was very professional and knowledgeable; and on top of everything. All in all a great dinner. read more

This is my go to spot whenever I'm at Pechanga casino. It's located right at the beginning of the entrance into the main casino. They have two sections of the restaurant. They have the main dining area and then they have the bar area with the gambling machines on the other side with a tv. You'll usually catch me on the side with the machines just chilling. I'm not a heavy gambler (my wife is) so she'll be out on the floor somewhere trying to get the big bucks and i'll be watching sports highlights playing quarter blackjack, sipping a drink and eating some sushi hand rolls. The are is always pretty clean and the bartenders are always pretty cool. They partake in small talk with the customers sitting at the bar and are usually engaged with the conversation. You can tell they like their jobs. As for the food, I usually order from their lunch menu since their restaurant is closed when I'm usually there in the afternoon. I like their handrolls, which have been pretty fresh everytime I've ordered them. I've also ventured out and had their beef skewers and their lobster rolls which are also pretty tasty. The lunch menu is pretty limited and they can customize sushi rolls depending on what's available so it doesn't hurt to ask. Overall, its one of my favorite restuarants in the casino and i'll always stop by if I'm there. OOOO 4 out of 5 Adros read more

Stopped in for lunch with family. I didn't realize they served lunch because every time I tried to make a reservation online it would only allow for dinner. They have a really small lunch menu. We ended up ordering most of the items on it. The portions are pretty small but we ended up sharing a little bit of everything with the group. The food was pretty good overall. Want to come back for the dinner menu, they had way more to choose from. Our server was great today as well. read more

It was a great time, we absolutely will come back. read more

It was our first time dining there, the place and ambience was beautiful. Robert's recommendation was on point. He was a great server. The whole experience was wonderful. read more

The atmosphere was lively although a little loud for my taste. It IS in the middle of a casino though so the noise is more than forgivable. Especially when the product is this good. Delicious sashimi, especially the blue fin and salmon. Try the calamari, very fresh and served piping hot, crispy and well seasoned and paired with hot saki it made for a delicious treat. The service was good, I never had to look for the server. She was present without being overbearing. I can't justify 5 stars but 4 is definitely fair and worth the visit if you want decent sushi at a very non traditional location. read more

First off Bryce was absolutely amazing. He was personable and knowledgeable. I also appreciated the manager visiting the tables to make sure all guest were pleased. I haven't eaten here in a while and it was nice to know the quality was the same. I ordered an unagi roll and a Temecula Fire roll. I enjoyed the fire roll more than the unagi. The unagi was a bit one notes and was missing a contrasting flavor and texture. My gin and tonic was yummy but it didn't have extra like requested. I tried the shrimp cocktail and it was really good. I prefer my cocktail sauce a little more spicy but that's just a preference. The ambiance is tranquil and soothing. I like the dimmed lighting. It can be very romantic for some. Also, Dylan who took over for Bryce was also fabulous! read more

I have always enjoyed the food and cocktails here. I come everytime I am at Pechanga. Its a nice bar.

This was the ONLY restaurant left that we have not tried at PECHANGA and to be honest we were not too THRILLED to try it bc we had very LOW expectations for a SUSHI RESTAURANT inside a CASINO. I mean, how good could it possibly be? SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From the moment you were greeted & welcomed with a BIG SMILE by the lovely hostess to the moment the extremely welcoming and friendly waiter BRUCE took your order. I was blown away at the EXCELLENT SERVICE. It felt the most sincere it of all the other restaurants. There was no slight expression of moodiness or tiredness. VERY PROFESSIONAL. LOBSTER ROLL: 10/10 STAR OF THE SHOW It's actually made with REAL LOBSTER and not Crawfish or worst imitation crab meat. This is one of the only sushi places that actually makes it with LOBSTER and the best part is they also fry it!!! YES YES & YES!!! YAKI TORI COMBO: 9/10 Tastes Great! We loved the Beef & asparagus but, the shrimp or prawn was a bit tricky to get off the skewer! MISO SOUP: 9/10 Was it worth $10 My husband says HELL NO but, for me it was the perfect balance of sodium level. Most places either make it too salty or bland. 1 point off because it could have used more umami flavors from more miso and bonito flakes... AMBIANCE: It was quite beautiful inside with Cool Vivid theme colors. Almost like you were eating under the ocean kind of vibe. Great place for a date night or group gathering. They also have a full bar!! I shouldn't have underestimated this place. It was great! ROCK ON UMI SUSHI & OYSTER BAR! read more

I came here for a quick dinner in Pechanga resort while staying there. The ambiance was very nice and seating was comfortable. Dylan provide phenomenal service. He was very attentive and provided excellent service. I ordered spicy edamame, tuna carpaccio, and California rolls. The food was fresh and had good flavor. The disappointment was with the price and portion size was definitely bad. Thw tuna carpaccio was $28 for a small portion of it. The California rolls cost $12 and the rolls has a significant amount of rice. I guess you are paying for the convenience of the restaurant being inside of a casino. I would only consider this place if you are forced to eat I side the hotel, but don't go out your way to eat here. read more

Your choice -a seat at the bar, at the booth or dining table. Regardless of where you are sitting, you still greeted with a friendly smile and the waiters are very attentive. At the bar, there are lots of varieties of alcohol you can choose from. We have visited this restaurant on many occasions. 10/10 times it is serves great food and it is very consistent. Customer service is excellent and so is the food there. My favorites are the sea bass, poke tacos, fries, fried shishito peppers and UNI! read more

Oh my... where to start?! We met the new manager, Rafael here at UMI. He is so professional and has definitely ungraded our experience here at Umi. He is so funny, outgoing and very hands on. Not to leave out, welcoming. We have been coming here consistently for the last few years, almost every week and never met the last manager. This is the second time coming here meeting Rafael. The staff here is always so amazing and Chef Chuck is also so awesome and professional. This is 100% what customer service should be. So proud of Pechanga for such a great hire. read more

The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The only thing worth noting is that the Chilean seabass came out overcooked and a bit rubbery. We mentioned it to our server, who immediately offered to remake it. The manager also explained that the belly cut can sometimes be tougher, and kindly offered to remake it or exchange it for a different entrée. Although the seabass texture wasn't ideal this time, the flavors were wonderful, especially the broccolini and mushrooms. I've ordered this same dish before, back in October 2024, and it was absolutely outstanding. The poke tacos were great, and the Hamachi Carpaccio was exceptional...definitely a must-order! read more

Best fresh sushi and seafood in Temecula. You can always find the best combinations of surf and turf on the menu here. To round it out the beverage and appetizer selection is the icing on the cake. We have always had the best service from both the bar and table side of the restaurant. Ask for Dylan if you're headed to the restaurant side, he is attentive, personable, and accurate always! If you're more in the mood for a great cook tail see Andrew at the Umi bar. We are here often and felt compelled to leave a review to help those trying to decide. Cheers! read more

Umi Sushi & Oyster Bar - Miso cheesecake - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temecula, California

We went on a little one-night getaway to Pechanga and decided to start the evening with dinner at Umi Sushi & Oyster Bar. It is located at one corner of the casino near the check-in area and café. It is hard to miss the exterior of the restaurant with its floor-to-ceiling gemstone features in front of transparent beige drapes. They have a good sized bar at the entrance with several TVs playing sports. There are a good number of tables and booths throughout the main dining area. You can also eat at the sushi bar. The inside wall is mostly illuminated and looks really cool. The round swirled globe lights over the sushi bar are a nice feature as well. Overall, the restaurant has a trendy and slightly-upscale feel. We had an early dinner at 5:30pm and sat in a booth along the back wall. The noise level was low at this time, and we had a nice view of the entire restaurant and the casino out front in the distance. We decided to have some drinks and just order a variety of appetizers. I started with the Yuzu Blossom (Haku vodka, Joto Yuzu citrus sake, Meyer lemon, lemon bitters, $16). This was kind of like a lemon drop but with citrus sake replacing the orange liqueur, and it was an absolute lemon lover's dream cocktail. The Meyer lemon adds a little sweetness so it it's not just a sour bomb, and the sugar rim was the perfect complement. It was light and refreshing, and I could have had these all night long. She started out with the Gin & Ginger (Roku gin, Giffard Ginger of the Indies, Meyer lemon, ginger bitters, $16). As lemony as the Yuzu Blossom was, this drink would similarly be a ginger lover's dream cocktail. It had great ginger flavor without being over the top, and it was also light and refreshing. I have been keeping my eyes out for drinks with ginger ever since we enjoyed this one. For appetizers, we started out with the spicy tuna crispy rice. This came with two pieces of a crispy rice rectangle on the bottom, topped with a slice of avocado, a good sized scoop of spicy tuna, and a few other small toppers. The crispy rice square was good and had a nice texture, but the spicy tuna had barely any spiciness to it and was a little bland. Make the spicy tuna spicy and it would have been a lot better. This appetizer is very expensive at $17 for just two pieces which were somewhere between ok and good. Next, we had the fried shishito peppers. The dish came with a good number of peppers, and we liked that the tempura batter was very light, which didn't make this appetizer heavy. The sauces drizzled over the peppers were good, but we could have done with a little less of it as the peppers were borderline drenched. This appetizer was more reasonably priced at $15. Instead of getting another cocktail, we decided to share a bottle of sake. I usually enjoy Kikusui sake and wasn't familiar with any of the sakes on the menu. Our server Jacob made a good recommendation of trying the Hiro Blue sake which he mentioned was one of their most popular sakes, and should be somewhat similar to Kikusui. His recommendation was spot on, and we really enjoyed the Hiro Blue. Next, we had the grilled prawns. The prawns were a good size, grilled nicely, and served on a skewer. The parsnip puree on the plate was delicious, and the arugula and pineapple compote added a little sweetness and freshness. The dish was good, but it only came with two prawns, and again seemed a little pricey at $18 for a small bite. We decided to finish with a spider roll. This was just your average spider roll, but it only came with five pieces, and they seemed thinner and not as big as what you usually get at a typical sushi place. This was priced at $17. Our server Jacob and the few other staff members that we interacted with during our meal were all very friendly and provided great service. The hostess was also very friendly, and gladly accommodated our request for a booth. When you eat at a casino restaurant, you expect inflated prices, so it wasn't a surprise here. Having said that, we did enjoy the drinks and appetizers and our time here was a nice way to start the evening. read more
