It would have been helpful if the online platform was updated to reflect the current offerings accurately.

One standout dish was the signature Sushi Times Roll. Packed with a generous amount of salmon, avocado, and spicy mayo, this roll was a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. It was truly a delight for the taste buds. The restaurant also offered vegetarian and vegan options, catering to a diverse range of dietary preferences.

Sushi Times is located near Ten Ren and Cha2o in Riverside off University Ave and Iowa Ave - very close to UCR.

This sushi restaurant has a wide selection of hot and cold appetizers, salads, rolls (fresh, tempura, and baked), hand rolls, sashimi, bento boxes, and they even have omakase. In addition, they also have ramen, bowls, and a variety of boats and platters for large parties. Did I mention they also do catering? The only thing they don’t have here is AYCE.

While they offer a variety of tasty dishes, they lack with staffing — at least the day I came in for dinner. Our server was very nice and checked in on us from time to time, apologizing for the slow service. However, he really needed help because every guest was waiting for something.

Presentation of the dishes weren’t consistent all the way through. What I mean by that is we were served our appetizers (Seaweed Salad and Cucumber Salad) on both plastic and styrofoam plates and rolls were served on a typical sushi platter with a beautiful orchid.

Here is a list of what we ordered: Seaweed Salad - Good, cold and crunchy! Cucumber Salad - Usually my “go to” appetizer over edamame but this was slightly too sweet for my liking. Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice - This was tough and sorta burnt. It did have a good taste though. Popcorn Lobster Roll - I can tell it wasn’t freshly fried. This was my least favorite. Rainbow Roll - Classic. Good. Sexy Roll - One of my top two favorites. Baked Salmon Roll - Classic. Warm. Good. Salmon Skin Roll - Good and crunchy. I loved the textures. This was my favorite roll here!

We dined in and the restaurant was very clean. You can tell they really followed the COVID-19 regulations.

Parking is a bit hard to find because it’s located in a busy plaza. I did make sure to come before the dinner rush so that helped me secure a spot right away. They do have a parking garage in the back of the plaza.

Overall, I was happy to satisfy my sushi cravings. Sushi Times offers a wide selection and I’d love to come back and try other dishes here. Service was slow...

The food here was super duper delicious, it has been one of the very first sushi places we have tried in this area driving on the way.

We stop to take a break and eat and my ooooh my I’m speechless. Yes a few people say you have to wait a bit. Trust the process the food is freshly made straight out of the kitchen the lettuce sides and everything was so fresh and mouth watering.

We eat until we where full. Then decided to order more because it was really tasty and delicious to the point we over ordered and added dessert on top.

We order the mango rolls yum !!!!! And crunchy shrimp roll and The crispy freshly made jalapeños pieces battered in cream cheese and tuna fried and cooked with it. This is a definite gem place to come. My rating is 5 starts if I had to offer more I would.

People you have got to come and eat here, you won’t regret it, it’s definitely a treasure place to cherish it.

My Child review below:

The food was so good that my mom forgot to take a picture , because as soon as the food came she dived in and did not wait to eat.

And my mom and I loved the jalapeños battered crisp. And next time we come here we might over order.

And my mom and I love this place food. And I think they should make it one...
