My husband ordered a steak and lobster.I know it’s a sushi place but as a sushi lover like I am but he doesn’t eat anything raw,So I’m glad they have this option for him and it was great as well! All sushi and sashimi are fresh and delicious!
Service : So far we have had a great servers and not disappointed.They always came by and make sure everything was good,Never have to ask for anything twice.
Vibe : Modern,Light and bright! You can sit at the bar,Gambling,Have some drinks with food as well.

"Awesome service! My eyes got a little bigger then my stomach. Very delicious and extremly attentive staff. Tasted like japan. Tried the Temecula roll which is pretty much a Califora roll with spicy tuna and tons of sauce so american sushi. The macha mille crepe cake was 100 percent japan green tea cake. Will be back!"

"One of my favorite places to eat at Pechanga. I ordered the shishito peppers as a starter, and as you can see in the photo, it's definitely shareable. I recommend the Salmon Crunch roll and the Pechanga roll. They also start you off with bread, something you don't see at every sushi restaurant, the bread is always fresh and warm, and the butter that they serve it with is Amazing. The prices are equal to most sushi places, so not bad considering this is a high-end sushi place inside a casino. I definitely recommend making reservations online. I've ate here multiple times and have never had a bad experience."
