Sushi Ok Riverside

Sushi Ok Riverside offers a reliable sushi experience in the heart of Riverside’s Arlington neighborhood, just a short walk from the scenic Riverside waterfront. Housed at 5228 Arlington Ave, the restaurant blends modest Japanese décor—soft lighting, traditional paper lanterns, and a few Japanese umbrellas—with a clean, casual vibe that keeps the focus on the food. The menu highlights classic rolls such as the salmon roll, spicy tuna hand roll, and the crowd‑pleasing 911 roll, alongside more adventurous options like the spider roll and the Chef’s Special roll, which balances sriracha heat with fresh jalapeño. Regulars also praise the chirashi bowl, lunch bento specials, and warm noodle dishes like seafood yaki soba. For dessert, the house‑made green tea ice cream pairs perfectly with a selection of hot and cold sake. Opening hours run from 11:30 am to 9:00 pm Monday‑Wednesday, closed Thursday, 11:30 am to 10:00 pm Friday‑Saturday, and 12:00 pm to 9:00 pm Sunday, making it ideal for both weekday lunches and relaxed weekend dinners. The staff, led by owner‑chef Sam, are known for friendly, attentive service and accommodate both dine‑in and take‑out orders with equal care. Wheelchair‑accessible entrance, parking lot, and restrooms ensure comfort for all guests. Price range is moderate, with most rolls priced between $8 and $15 and combo meals offering good value. Whether you’re a local sushi lover or a traveler exploring Riverside’s culinary scene, Sushi Ok Riverside delivers fresh, consistently prepared sushi in a welcoming setting.
