    The food is always great, although sometimes the sushi rolls and presentation are inconsistent per expectations. We are frequent patrons, but to be honest, it is HORRIBLE in service when you get a booth there with family. They never manage the booths well. Sit at the teppan tables, the sushi bar, or bar to get better service...the booths are just not managed well ever. However, we only go to Riptide for sushi/Japanese in our neighborhood because the food is that good.

    I made the reservation through OpenTable and once we got to the restaurant they said they were no longer taking any online reservations and that we would have to wait an hour for a table so we left and found a great Sushi place nearby. Very dissapointed to say the least. I I will not be returning to RipTide.

    Prices are very high and the food was not outstanding for what you got. Service was very poor and no one was there, so no excuses.

    Horrific from start to finish,-in spite of reservation, had to wait 20 min to be seated. inattentive wait staff. Everyone's meal served at different times. Food was awful-spicy tuna soooo spicy inedible. Drinks were watered down. Just awful... DON"T waste your time or money here.

    This was a our first trip to Riptide and the food was outstanding. We ordered family style house chicken and the chicken fried rice and it did not disappoint and the portions were gigantic!! We also had the artichoke appetizer which was great as well. The pricing was very much in line and we'll certainly be back for more!!

    Nice ambiance, but more of gringo Japanese fare. Fun for a night out with friends, just don't plan on being wow'd with the food.

    Huge sushi bar, teppan tables, and a sit down menu. We have been here a bunch of times for teppan and it's always good. We stick with the basics (chicken/steak) at the teppan tables and have never had a bad experience.
