K Sushi Bar and Grill Temecula — Restaurant in Temecula

We splurged and did the AYCE (all you can eat) for $44 per person. In summary, I gave this place 2 stars because they don't honor their promotion, the food quality was lacking, it took too long to receive our food, and they weren't on top of their inventory. You want more details, read on.

NOT HONORING THEIR PROPROMOTION They had a big sign outside (see photo)"Draft beer AND large hot sake for $5!!" We inquired and conveniently, they 'ran out' of CO2. We asked for a bottle of Sapporo and they were out of that too. Not a good start imo. We settled for a bottle of Asahi. When the bill came, sake was $5 but the beer was $10.95. This is a big pet peeve of mine-- when a business does not honor their promotion posted on a giant sign hanging right above their door! The promotion was an incentive for us to order drinks. Had we not seen the sign, we would have stuck to water.

TOOK TOO LONG TO RECEIVE OUR FOOD: We gave ourselves 1.5 hrs to eat here before heading to the movie theater. This should have been more than enough time for such an establishment. There were a total of 3 tables during our entire dinning experience, start to finish. There were 2 chefs at the bar and 2 servers. My husband received his AYCE items first, mostly Chef's Specialty rolls. My husband continued to receive his items while I stared longingly. It took nearly 1 hour for me to receive all items from round 1. By this point, we had 30 min left before we had to leave for our movie. I weighted out my odds and with a $44 AYCE price tag and an unsatisfied belly, I talked myself into ordering one last roll for a 2nd round. I asked for the mango roll (it's called something else on the menu but I don't remember). Server came back and informed that they were out of mangoes . I hastily picked another roll off the menu, which was the Rainbow Spider roll. I like rainbow rolls, and I like spider rolls --I noticed the icon next to it and I chalked it up to the spicy tuna. This decision was a disaster and you can read more about it in the next section below.

FOOD QUALITY WAS LACKING The fish and oysters were not fresh. My baked mussels came out so shriveled up, overcooked, and devoid of flavor. I can't imagine dying as a delicious juicy mussel, only to arrive at the table looking like a stale raisin What a tragic way to go. My baked lobster roll was overly smothered in mayonnaise. The first bite was decadent but by the 2nd piece, the globs of mayo grossed me out. The Rainbow Spider roll came with a spicy chili oil that was excessively spicy! I love spicy food and handle it well. I expected the heat to come from the spicy tuna which would have been enough and appropriate. However, fish is generally a mild flavor. To drown it in such a spicy heavy-handed oil, it completely overpowered the roll. I could not taste the fish! I started to wonder if the chef had a vendetta against fish. Why so aggressive with the sauces and chili oils? He skills might have been better suited for a Mexican, Indian, Chinese, or Thai restaurant. Sushi requires finesse The only things I enjoyed were some of the nigiris, (the fresh ones at least) and my miso soup. My daughter got the chicken katsu from the kid's menu, which was decent, but it came with a sauce that had a weird bitter aftertaste. Oh, and I never received my seaweed salad

NOT ON TOP OF THEIR INVENTORY If you made it this far, you might have gathered that we struck out on a few items with the most egregious of them all -- the CO2! How do you promote draft beers and not have CO2 to run the tap?? How are you a Japanese sushi restaurant and not have Sapporo? Not even bottled? Why have a mango roll on menu, and not stock the mango? I don't know who did the orders but they dropped the ball. The big sign out front boasts ikura, oysters, toro, bluefin, & halibut, which I can attest that they did indeed have, but FYI -- its for only 1 round, 1 order per person. It comes off stingy for a $44 AYCE but I've seen this at other sushi...

This is the second time i asked for no cucumber on the rolls I got, and guess what, we got cucumber again. My Wife is allergic. I told the guy My Wife was allergic and what if I had not caught that and had to rush her to the hospital, I believe I spoke with a guy named Brandon was very rude and didn't care that My Wife was allergic only offered 10% off the next time I come in like that's going to happen. did not offer to refund the rolls I told him I'd bring the rolls back to him, he said I don't want your rolls . I said I was going to leave a one star review. He said go ahead I don't care. This person should be fired. Does not care about this business and when I asked to speak with a manager or an owner, he said they don't have one there I said, when will the manager or owner be in, he said we don't have one at all. It's just the staff that runs the restaurant. Will never go back to this place nor will anybody that I know I will make sure of that. I look forward to watching this place go...

I had an amazing dining experience at this sushi restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal.

The food? Absolutely delicious. Every piece of sushi was fresh, beautifully prepared, and bursting with flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and the attention to detail in the presentation was impressive. The specialty rolls were creative and perfectly balanced, and the nigiri melted in my mouth.

Whether you're a sushi lover or new to Japanese cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Great ambiance, top-notch service, and food that truly stands out. Highly...
