About this business

Orange County is home to many traditional, hole in the wall sushi joints that get the job done. Riptide is not one of those places. If you are looking for a sushi experience unlike any other in Mission Viejo, look no further than Riptide Rockin' Sushi and Teppan Grills. The energy is high with family and friends, the food always fresh. The menu is an inventive expression that perfectly combines a hint of tradition with modern creativity, all from the minds of chefs with decades of combined experience. The sakes bomb nightly,... read more

Good food, poor service – My wife and I decided to try Riptide for her birthday. I made online reservations and filled in the box that lets you tell the Maitre D' of any special requests. I said that it was my wife's birthday. This was a total waste of time. We arrived early and sat at the bar to enjoy a drink before dinner. The base speaker was so loud that we could not carry on a conversation. Not really a deal breaker but needs to be corrected. We were seated with a nice family of four and the waiter took our drink orders... read more

Best Sushi in Southern Cali!!!! – I LOVE this place!!! I live in San Diego and wish we had one closer. Riptide has given me by far the best sushi and dining experience! I recommend it to everyone. I love that they offer sushi and other food choices as well for those who don't eat sushi. The owners greet their customers and are really friendly. It's a great place for a party or big group of people. I also just recently went there for breakfast and ate some awesome peanut butter and chocolate chip pancakes! Yummy!!!

The Only Sushi you want!!! – This is the only sushi my friends and family will go to anymore...The rolls are huge and so delicious..The price is just right especially for happy hour and Thurs. nights. Are you kidding me all the food was great..it was kinda strange that you can get other types of food there, but I guess not everyone loves sushi or teppan. The service has always been fantastic, we have come many times with a large party and with children. Everything is always perfect. If you want a place that has a fantastic a... read more

A Pleasant Surprise – I have to say when I walked into this restraunt I was shocked. The place is beautiful. With gorgeous decor, beautiful waterfalls, and a stunning full bar which also includes a waterfall it looked amazing. I couldnt wait to see how the food and service could match the ambiance. I put my name on the wait list expecting to wait an hour or more, but i was in a booth in less than twenty minutes and the place was packed. Our server was prompt to greet us and offer us drinks. The menu was huge it took me 10 mi... read more

Awful place to work! – I used to work here...the place is wrong!! Anyway, you work ur booty off, and because the place is sooooooooo huge, and ur tables are far apart, it is highly impossible to give good service!! Outrageous!! Management is awful, and deserves sexual harassment suits, and the captains aren't "A" waiters, they are the mean ppl of the joint...no one is straight with you, and the customers think they are all that, can't even tell you what they want...they tell management then you are screwed...I came here to w... read more

My Favorite Restaurant – I enjoy the louder music like STP and pop songs from KIIS, the food is fantastic the best thing is the tornado roll and the teppan volcano, plus the full bar. It has a fun atmosphere for the younger crowd who likes to spoil themselves with a nice dinner. I am not a big fan of the service 2/3 times it has been less than great, but i'm not at the restaurant for the waiter.

Food is good, the service ruins everything – I have been to this place twice; trying to prove the whole "first impression says a lot" wrong. Well, unfortunately, in this place, my first impression is right. The waiter/waitresses are just rude. The first time I was there with bunch of friends, the waitress that was hosting our table accused us for not paying enough when we were leaving, harrassing on of my friend by grabbing his hand and told him that we didn't pay enough. The funny thing is, she counted again in front of my ... read more

Terrible service – Food is good but it's not a real sushi restaurant but if you like sushi rolls with sweet and syrupy sauce they have plenty of options. I've been there twice and both times, they fell really short on the service side. The host/hostess should be trained to greet customers when they come in! They seem more interested in talking to each other. I don't consider Riptide a fine dining (the name says it all) but it is a "nice" restaurant and I would expect more refined service from the staff. There are so many goo... read more

I WOULD GO EVERYDAY IF I CAN AFFORD IT! – BEST SUSHI PLACE I HAVE BEEN SO FAR! VERY FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND BEAUTIFUL ATMOSPHERE. HAVE A LARGE SUSHI BAR WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE CHEFS MAKE YOUR MEAL, NICE DINING AREA AND BIG COMFY BOOTHS AND TEPAN TABLES ALL AROUND. THEY PLAY FUN MUSIC AND PLAY SPORTS GAMES ON THEIR TVS POSTED UP THROUGHOUT THE PLACE. THEIR FOOD PRESENTATIONS ARE SUPERB AND NOT OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE. AVERAGE PRICE IS AROUND 12.00 DOLLARS A ROLL AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE SUSHI THEY HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF OTHER GOOD FOO... read more
