10. Joe's Sushi Japanese Restaurant

I had heard many years ago that this place had excellent sushi. Tonight my son and I tried it out. They have AYCE dinner for $23.95. I tried 3 rolls, two of which were the fried kind which I usually enjoy. However, these were so hard and crunchy that it was difficult to enjoy them. The other roll was pretty good though. My son had a roll that was baked which he said tasted good. The employees (waitress and cashier) were very nice and helpful for our first visit. The environment inside the restaurant is lively and inviting (with excellent music) which is in stark contrast to how it looks on the outside. So overall, our visit was pleasant.

Although the food is good, not sure I'm a big fan of all the raw meats on ice at a kiosk for customers to get themselves. Too many opportunities for cross contamination. Most of the Korean BBQ restaurants I've dined at, the service staff bring the meat to you from the kitchen, where it is handled by the professionals. The other options on the buffet line were great. Of the meats we tried, the Bulgogi and Spicy Chicken were the best. The bay scallops were way too small the grill at the table. They did drink refills and changed the grill out a few times. However, all the dirty plates were on a cart right next to the buffet line. As well, the ice cream my wife had was very soupy.

My work associates and I were visiting clients in Riverside and this restaurant came up as a recommendation for lunch.We arrived around 11:30 AM and were seated promptly. The place is in a little strip-mall and parking is at a premium Get there ahead of the lunch rush as the place filled up very, very quickly. The service is casual and friendly and the menu selection is top-notch. We ordered the Ginger Beef and the Chicken Satay and both were excellent dishes. I had the cucumber soup, which I'd never had, and was very pleased. My companions took the "safe" route and ordered the salad.When we left at 12:45, there was a line waiting in the parking lot. It's been a while since I've had Thai food this good. Sometimes, it comes out like Chinese food so this was a refreshing and excellent change. Obviously a popular place. If we have occasion to be in Riverside again, we'll definitely stop here!

P.F. Chang's is a restaurant concept that honors the 2,000-year-old Asian tradition of wok cooking and believes in making food from scratch every day in every restaurant. With a Farm to Wok food philosophy at its core, P.F. Chang's chefs hand-roll dim sum

6. Elephant Thai Cuisine

My friends took me to Elephant Thai for my birthday. We ordered a round of delicious vegetarian noodle, curry, salad and fried rice dishes. They were so good we ordered a second round. That's when our experience started getting odd. We were informed that the kitchen had no more tofu (!) and all of the dishes in the second round were much, much smaller and tasted nothing like the first ones. For example, the pineapple fried rice was incredibly salty and tasted like the cook had just dumped a packet of ramen seasoning on top and the papaya salad tasted like it had been soaked in some kind of cleaning product. To be fair, I've been here many times since it opened and the food was always good, but I'm going to avoid Elephant Thai in the future.

Walking up to the front door, you start to wonder why does a restaurant owner want his customers to see dead plants, outdoor furniture that has seen better days, cigarette butts, peeling paint, etc..It makes people say to themselves, Does the kitchen look like this?The worse part is they have good food and good service, but i have to say I don't feel like i will return.Sitting the restaurant the other day my wife and i are looking out the window and there is a chain link fence, with a dog barking, more dead plants...I hope the owner reads this review and spends a few bucks to make his place appealing.
