We went to Rip Tide Sushi for a networking event and we left it thoroughly impressed.The sushi at Rip Tide is undeniably delicious, with each roll bursting with flavor and expertly crafted. Whether it was the classic favorites or the chefs special creations, every bite was a culinary delight.What truly stood out, however, was the impeccable service provided by the staff. Despite the bustling atmosphere of a networking event, they remained attentive and accommodating, ensuring that everyones needs were met with a smile.Their friendly demeanor and willingness to go above and beyond made the networking experience even more enjoyable. Whether it was refilling drinks or offering recommendations from the menu, the staff at Rip Tide Sushi truly made us feel like valued guests.Overall, our experience at Rip Tide Sushi exceeded all expectations. Delicious food combined with exceptional service made for an evening that was both enjoyable and productive. Well definitely be back for more yummy sushi and friendly faces.

We visited this place about 5 years ago, and we enjoyed the teppanyaki table very much along with the food and service. As a result, we decided to visit again in November for a relatives birthday and were very disappointed.To begin with, when reserving the table there was a misunderstanding and we were not seated at the teppanyaki table as we wanted and were seated at a regular booth. The issue was that there was about 12 people in our party and we barely fit at the table even with additional chairs placed on the sides.The rest of the night kept getting worse and worse, from attitude from our waitress to mediocre food, it didnt seem like the same place we visited before at all. Our cutlery was dirty when it arrived and when we asked for replacements the waitress hesitantly took the dirty forks and finally returned around 10 minutes later only to have grabbed the forks from the empty table beside us. Also, despite it being a Saturday evening, the restaurant was not as busy but the waiters took forever to serve us and provide us with our food and many of the fish were unavailable impacting the number of sushi choices you could pick from or any of the lobster rolls. Just seemed a but odd to make half of your menu unavailable on a weekend night when your primary cuisine is seafood.I wouldnt recommend this restaurant for special occasions, maybe for an occasional outing but I wouldnt bet on them having all their sushi options or even good service.

Everything was perfect.. However our chef made a few inappropriate comments.. Maybe not on purpose but the moment was awkward.. The food was awesome.. Hope he is well..

I absolutely love this place for any occasion and especially like the sushi!!! Theyre large rolls, very filling and you get your moneys worth.The teppanyaki table is always a blast and the chefs that are preparing the food are hilarious 🤣 I would give this place an A++

This is my favorite spot for sushi in SoCal! Rigo plates the rolls so beautifully. The sushi is always fresh and tasty! I’ve never been disappointed with any of the rolls. Rigo has the best recommendations. I would definitely recommend stopping by for a roll or two!

Dinner here was enjoyable and lively. While the sushi was decent, the Teppan experience was particularly enjoyable and entertaining. The portion sizes were generous, making it a great choice for a birthday celebration or similar occasion.

Due to some eccentricities in our schedule, boyfriend and I value restaurants with late-night hours. We frequent this restaurant. We checked online and Riptide is posted as open til 11pm. Got there last night 3/16/24 at 1034 pm and was greeted by a rude, condescending young man who informed us that the kitchen had closed 4 min prior. He was rolling his eyes and very nasty, obviously wanting to get rid of us and go home. We asked about the hours posted and he simply repeated himself and added snidely sorry, thats how restaurants work. We left and went to Cheesecake Factory (who also closed at 11) and were greeted warmly. We ordered quickly, asked nothing extra from our server, quietly enjoyed our food, tipped well and left. BECAUSE THATS HOW RESTAURANTS WORK.I doubt Riptide is training their staff in customer service and might not even be invested enough to read their reviews if last night was an indication.Its too bad really. The food is lovely and fresh but we are never going back. They need to change their hours posted online and train their rude, ignorant staff in customer service and decorum--even if the answer is no theres a way to say it. Because that also is how restaurants work.

During my eight years stationed in California while serving in the Marine Corps, no place compared to Riptide for sushi. Each visit was marked by top-quality food and an exceptional dining experience. I miss eating here and eagerly look forward to visiting California again in the future. When I do, Riptide will be a must visit! Thank you for consistently outstanding service and delicious sushi!

The food at this place is marvellous. The restaurant are well decorated it’s a open kitchen and bar. It serve sushi and grill food. The Chef is super friendly and funny, handsome, and he speak Japanese. The price here is fine, 80$ for 5 dishes. !!! Lifetime experiment!!!

This place has survived many years which speaks for itself! Made reservations via Yelp for Teppan. Very packed on a Friday night! Service was a little slow, but nice and friendly and the fried rice was delicious. I want to try the bread pudding dessert next time, need to save room!
