50 Best Sushi Bars near Corona Del Mar

“I wish the servers could receive tips because Felix always goes above and beyond in his service. The sushi ? is consistently fresh and melts in your mouth. If you visit, be sure to look out for Felix; he is one of the most exceptional servers you can encounter. He is friendly, remembers you, and makes every effort to ensure you feel valued and cared for. My husband and I love this place.“

“Everything was excellent! Service was top notch as well.“

“Absolutely amazing! This is the spot I’ve been taking everyone. Place inside is kinda small but super cozy and cute. You order at the kiosk and it’s super easy/convenient. They make the food in the front and it definitely adds a personalized touch. My favorites are the seared salmon and unagi yubu! They look small but 3 of them is the perfect amount for meal for me

Dietary restrictions: They prepare the food by the kiosk and you can ask them any questions directly“

“I was conflicted about whether to give Rol 4 or 5 stars. I’m a sushi and hand roll aficionado. I’d eat it daily and I’ve been to most of the places in SoCal. The fish quality here is very good. I got the lunch special and at $16 for 4 rolls that’s a very good price. But the rolls are very small. Usually I can have enough at 5 rolls to be full. Here I had 6 and I could have still eaten more.

Other than that, I have no complaints. It’s a clean restaurant located right off beach blvd in main part of city. The servers were attentive and nice. I’m just a big eater and I would have to order 7-8 rolls to feel satisfied.“

“Their Omakase is one of the best.“

“Great little hole in the wall to fulfill your raw fish cravings. If you are tempted to try without breaking the bank or overcommitting to something new, I suggest you come here during the happy hour between 3 and 5pm and get their hand rolls. Its a little early for beer for me, but that is also on special at that time.

Parking: Shared with a lot of other places in the Walmart center, can get busy but can usually find something a few rows away.“

“Sushi Shunka is our go-to spot for celebrating special occasions and also our fave sushi spot in OC. Located in a strip mall at the corner of E. 17th Street and Tustin Avenue in Costa Mesa, the restaurant specializes in authentic sushi and Japanese cuisine. "Shunka" means "Flavor of the Season", so they of course select their fish depending on the season and in addition to customer favorites. The sushi chefs are veterans and the wait staff are polite helping to provide an unforgettable dining experience to their customers.

I highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar and ordering one of the omakase options. On our recent visit, I ordered the Chef's Omakase which included 10 pieces of sushi including sea bream, Japanese sea bass, mackerel, amberjack, toro and bluefin tuna among others. The sushi is always top-qualify and practically melts in your mouth. I have a big appetite so I also supplemented my meal with a toro hand roll, blue fin tuna hand roll and fried Hamachi Kama. Everything is made to order and is so oishi! Having said that, this is fine dining so expect to pay a high price but know that it’s worth every penny. As I mentioned before we only visit on special occasions, so I’m already hoping we’ll have a reason to celebrate again soon!“

“fresh, delicious and best service! will definately be back!“

“Well worth the wait! GREAT sushi, service and quality.“

“One of my favorite sushi bars in CM!!! 2 orders 3 roll Maki special Tuna Lover, White Tiger, Shrimp Super Crunch, Soft shell crab, baked scallops, Newport special Salmon 👍🏽“

“Some of the best sushi I’ve had outside of Japan. The lunch omakase goes toe-to-toe with some very pricey sushi meals I’ve had at a fraction of the price. Total bill including a 720ml bottle of Juemon sake was less than a single person’s omakase elsewhere.“

“Very fast service but still thoughtful (waited till I finished my salad to bring the miso soup and then to bring the rolls). Super affordable… house salad plus miso soup plus two premium rolls all came out to $44. Fun atmosphere, laid back and food was tasty.“

“This place is AUTHENTIC! If you can’t spare a trip to Japan, make a trip here! They have your standard menu items (salmon, tuna, eel) but also some exotic items (Hokkaido uni) and even off menu specials (flounder cheeks). I didn’t get a chance to try many items, but the ones I did, were extremely memorable.
I highly recommend the steamed egg (Chawanmushi). It is full of well seasoned seafood that compliments the truffles and steamed egg, leaving a lasting memory that begs you to order again.
Another recommendation is the monkfish liver (Ankimo). While not for everyone, if you enjoy foie gras (duck liver), you will definitely enjoy this dish. The flavor profiles is unique, as the ankimo is prepped in-house with a chef’s special blend of seasonings and spices. It is also served with a special blend of sauce and seaweed that compliments the firm, yet creamy texture of ankimo that melts in your mouth.
UPDATE: Having visited this establishment again, I have modified my review. The consistency in both food quality and flavor was not there. I ordered salmon collar and it smelled foul upon arrival; tasted that way too. The Chawanmushi was lighter in flavor as well.“

“Everything best food good service very nice staff. We are coming back soon!!❤️“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem! I'm absolutely obsessed and eager to taste their entire menu. The sushi and eel rice I tried today blew my mind as the best Japanese cuisine I've ever encountered in Orange County. And the kicker? It's incredibly wallet-friendly – you're dining on fantastic fare at just $15 a person.“

“Always great sashimi whenever we’re there. This place NEVER disappoints.“

“Good food, good service, okay atmosphere. Oh and good prices too! This is a local spot for me. I love customizing the spicy tuna roll to include cilantro!

My 2 gripes:
1) The specialty rolls are overloaded with sauces (I don't order anymore)
2) I wish they had a menu for making custom rolls (I always have to ask the server for my custom order)

Having to ask the server is more work and leaves prices/options ambiguous. Leading me to a more simple customization.

Parking: Parking all over.

Kid-friendliness: As kid friendly as sushi gets. It's not a place made for kids, but the atmosphere is conducive to bringing kids along.“

“Found by accident great food and service excellent. Patio and in four dining. Had beef teriyaki with tempura and miso soup and salad and California roll. ReAsonable priced too“

“It was lunch time and I wanted something tasty and light. I found this sushi spot in a shopping center. There was a lot of parking and I came in to get a to go order. The place looked nice inside, trendy, and clean. There were sushi bar chefs making the food fresh on the spot. I ordered the ponzu roll for myself and crunchy roll for my fiancé. The host was nice he took my order and gave me the extra sauces I asked for. It was a 10-15 minute wait. They were both good rolls, I really liked the ponzu roll with the sauce. The crunch roll was basic. Although these 2 rolls were good, I don’t think it should be $20/roll. That’s pretty pricey for rolls I can get just as good somewhere else. But besides the price, everything else was good!

Parking: A lot of parking“

“This is my favorite sushi spot to regularly visit. While it's not fancy, it's unbeatable for the price. Appetizers and Sushi quality taste far better than most places that are double/triple the price. The server Karen is kind and attentive - my partner and I are always happy to see her! When a mistake has happened (infrequently), they have resolved the issues wonderfully. The bottled beer is also cheap.

Some of my favorites include the baked mussels, kalamari, dragon roll, yellowtail sashimi, fisherman roll, fire in the hole roll. I've tried most appetizers/rolls and have liked everything.

Only requests would be more options for hot sake and beer on draft.“

“Our meal was delicious and the service was amazing“

“Impressive array of the best ingredients unavailable in most Japanese restaurants in the US prepared in different styles“

“This was my first Omakase experience and man, I picked a great one. I was quite surprised that I had to take a car ferry to get here, but that was a cool experience. There are no on-site parking but, parking was available nearby and it's free after 6 pm. The food was incredible. They were on point with presentation, delivery, and taste. I highly recommend it and it's pricey! But, worth the price.“

“Fresh fish expertly prepared by friendly chef with equally cheerful service staff! We will be back“

“Had an excellent lunch here as a work function, and the service and food was just excellent and felt so authentic and high quality. The place does not have any signs so it’s hard to find if you’re not paying attention, and seating is a bit tight but other than that you’re in for a great experience equal to fine dining. My pics are from the omakase offering.“

“Unit shots and Madai with yuzu kosho“

“Nice little sushi restaurant located in a plaza. Food is good and reasonably priced. We ordered a few rolls a spicy tuna bowl as well as a chicken teriyaki plate. All had good flavor and I feel the portions are reasonable. Recommend you give them a try.“

“Sushi Koto is always a treat for me. I love to come here for what I feel is the next best thing to eating in Japan. There is always a wait for Sunday brunch, but they do take reservations. Excellent service and friendly staff. This is definitely not your ordinary neighborhood Japanese restaurant. Highly recommend it!“

“Yukino is one of the kindest, most hardworking people I’ve ever met. She and the team at Sea Butter Laguna Beach treat me like family every time I visit. The quality of the sushi is amazing, but it’s the warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back.

Yukino goes above and beyond for every guest—she’s attentive, gracious, and genuinely cares about the experience. Sea Butter is lucky to have her. Highly recommend this spot—not just for the food, but for the heart. ❤️“

“Fresh fish! I can’t imagine my life without Sushi Murasaki in US😘“

“Exceptional service and exceptional food! We decided to eat outside and it was a little chilly. Our comfort was of the utmost importance to the proprietor and his staff. They made süreç the outdoor heaters were in working condition and that we were comfortable and gave me a wonderful bowl of soup to add to my warmth Cheerful and friendly. I highly recommend this wonderful place. Thank you!“

“H.B. Roll for me. Beef udon(noodles on the side) for my wife. This is our usual go-to. But I got really sick last week 😭“

“Best sushi locally by far unless you are looking for a super expensive (over $200 per person) and elite experience. Amazing and creative sushi items ($15-20). Some unique and fabulous food creations. Weird and dated vibe but very pleasant and charming if you are not a clean freak. Lots of decorative items are part of a 30+ year experience that makes this place like home. Probably my favorite food experience!“

“This sushi restaurant perched on the pier of Newport Beach’s Lido Peninsula is a must-visit. The waterfront marina views are stunning, especially at sunset, and outdoor seating comes with heaters. The atmosphere is dimly lit and intimate. Reservations are recommended. The sushi was excellent and surprisingly affordable. Service was a bit slow, but maybe understandable with a large group.“

“Food is good, pricing is fair, most of the wait-staff is friendly with the exception of the male host at the front who handles phone orders. His customer service is lacking extremely, so much so, I would think twice about ordering take-out from here“

“Fresh and authentic. An amazing delight and will be back!“

“This place was amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever received such good service in my lifetime at a restaurant! There was one sushi, chef, fair, and he made us feel so special not to mention how fresh the food was. Growing up in New York City, my family us to wonderful restaurants and the best food so we are pretty particular.! I’m so excited that this place just opened in Newport Beach.

Dietary restrictions: I think most restaurants have dietary restrictions if you ask. I actually work in the food, industry, and most people, especially in Southern California are pretty savvy when it comes to food, allergies, and restrictions.“

“As far as sushi spots go. This is worth driving to. It has a friendly vibe and is never very busy. They have a great selection of all kinds of sushi. Whether you like cooked, baked, raw, traditional, tempura, whatever. It's all very good. I almost always get pick up from here and when I walk in the chefs always greet you. This place is also very clean.“

“It was excellent! We’re big fans of sushi rolls, and this place was recommended to us by friends — we loved everything! Especially the Los Angeles Roll and the Bluefin. The fish was incredibly fresh and just melted in our mouths. Highly recommend to everyone!“

“BigParm is an excellent source stop. great tasting pizza plus more!“

“I came here after work to get something to eat I was so thankful it was open. The food was absolutely amazing!! The service was amazing!! Julia was so nice and welcoming I’ll definitely be coming back . Thank you Julia for being so sweet to me.“

“The salmon roll and beef miso soup were good. The salmon seemed very fresh and had a good texture. There was a decent amount of beef in the soup.
The wait staff seemed very eager for us to order and also the clear the table while we were still eating. I think it would be better if they were a little more patient“

“완전 best 최고👍“

“Kobe Sushi is one of my favorite sushi spots for as long as I can remember. The Black Pepper Tuna roll and Sashimi platter are our top choices. 100% recommend!“

“I found this sushi restaurant while I was walking down the streets of huntington beach, they serve a vast assortment of different types of sushi there, i ordered my food. They brought me some wasabi and ginger and my drink, then they brought me my sushi, and it was very delicious, i give sushi on fire a five star rating for meeting my standards and delivering a delicious midday meal for me, i would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good sushi while they're at huntington beach.“

“Beautiful place, guys are gentle. Clean, good flavor. Fresh is fresh, crunchy is crunchy. You can be aware the make everything in the right way. Prices are fair you pay $16 and cents for a regular poke bowl which is more than less the standard price. I just came to the market and decided to try it, and no regrets at all. Thanks for the service, and for the good product and nice environment. I'll be back to try other plates“

“I got the chicken bento box with green salad, potstickers, and salmon roll, and for 16$ it was amazing. Overall everything in the bento box tasted fresh, especially the sushi rolls! The bento box can definitely be enough food for 2 meal. Will be returning back, staff/owners are very nice.“

“We ate dinner here last night. Probably the best sushi we’ve ever had. The staff was great as well.“

“One of the best real EDOMAE sushi in area. I was used to be sushi chef.“

“This is a wonderful place to come and eat. Everything tasted fresh and was ready quickly. If I had to complain about anything, it was with the amount of rice with my Tamago, shrimp, and tuna pieces. It just didn't hold up very well. Other than that, everything was wonderful!“
