Sushi Boat — Restaurant in Temecula

I'm always trying different sushi spots around Temecula/Murrieta area because I've yet to find one I love. Firefish so far is the best of all the bunch. I'm a selective NY-based diner now living here. Anyway, service and atmosphere here were nice.

App - got gyoza. It was fried (didn't see option for any other choice). I don't love them fried since most places have so much dough and so little filling. This place was no exception.

Main course - Chicken udon / Tonkotsu ramen / Malibu roll / cucumber & avocado roll

The udon itself and broth were fine; as expected; decent portion. Didn't love the chicken flavor.

The ramen was fine. My kid's friend ate it with no complaints. Portion is large.

My roll was unsatisfying. It lacked texture and just essentially fell apart when picking each piece up with my chopsticks. I find that the sushi places here tend to have about 25+ "specialty rolls" on the menu which all basically sounds the same. Its the same revolving ingredients in different order. What I wish is in general they would minimize the amount of these specialty rolls and just do them well. It burdens the menu for no good reason.

Lastly, they give complimentary green tea ice cream. It was a no for me. Tasted more like vanilla ice cream with green tea extract instead of authentic green tea flavor.

Overall I think this place is fine if you aren't...

Week ago I took my family from San Diego for dinner. I have been coming to Sushi b Boat for years as I considered it my favorite place and unfortunately it happened to be a bad experience. First of all they messed up the order as they brought the wrong food for my granddaughter as she is allergic to what they brought except for the chicken nuggets everything else she could not have. I am explain to the waiter and he apologized and becaz my granddaughter’s had taken one nugget he said just keep it and I will bring the correct one but when the owner lady found out she took the plate off the table with an attitude (not a problem) but when she brought the bill they overcharged us with the drinks and she automatically added the gratuity as I ask why and she said with attitude that she was entitled to do it when party of 8 or more but we were only 6 people when my wife try to explain she just walked off and left us with no response. Too bad it was my favorite place as I won’t ever bring my family here. People check your bill...

I am an avid review reader so after reading all the rave reviews on this place, I took my family. There were five of us all together so they pushed two tables together. Great! But, we had to keep flagging down anyone that walked by just to take our orders and the refills were the same problem! The food was okay. Not the best I have had by far. I ordered a combo plate with California Rolls that were very small. Teriyaki chicken? Four small slices. My daughter ordered the same and I had to look at hers because I thought they shorted me. Hers was the same. It took forever just to get the check and I had to actually walk to the cash register and waited there for someone to finally get the check! I will not go back here. Not sure if it was an off night but I will not tolerate...
