50 Best Sushi Bars near Corona Del Mar

“Although it’s a bit of a drive from Garden Grove, it was definitely worth it. The sushi was incredibly fresh and flavorful, especially the “Trust Me” menu, which gave us a perfect mix of rolls, sashimi, and nigiri.

The restaurant is clean and modern, with attentive service and a calm atmosphere. Even though it gets busy, the staff kept things moving smoothly.

Overall, Sugarfish is a must-visit if you’re looking for high-quality sushi that’s simple, fresh, and satisfying — well worth the extra drive.“

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

“Their Omakase is one of the best.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Chef Stanley and the staff served what has been hands-down, the best sushi experience. I’ve had the United States so far.

Words cannot express absolutely delightful. This entire meal was the atmosphere the freshness the choice of ingredients execution absolutely top notch! Not to mention, I have quite a few allergies and they went above and beyond to take excellent care of me and serve me some of the best sushi I’ve ever had“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing staff fantastic food highly recommend. The food here tast fresh and delicious the lady who attended to us always had a smile and great attitude even when bringing the food absolutely very welcoming don't speak there language No problem they have photos on the menu and the staff is very attentive I definitely will come back agian best establishment in Santa ana by far!“

“Sushi Plus is a gem! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the customer service is truly something special. It has that small-town warmth that makes you feel like family every time you walk through the door.

As someone with celiac disease, finding a place that takes gluten-free dining seriously can be hard—but Karen, Yukon, and the whole team go above and beyond. They remember my dietary needs, take every precaution, and I have never gotten sick. I always feel safe eating here, and that peace of mind means everything. (Did I mention the food is DELICIOUS?!)

Thank you for your continued care, kindness, and amazing food! One of the favorite weekly meals with my husband. 😊“

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

“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.“

“Unit shots and Madai with yuzu kosho“

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

“Fantastic! Toshi-san is the real deal. If you want an authentic sushi experience in Laguna Beach, true to its origins, plus a little SoCal flair, this is the spot. Take it from someone who lived in Japan for over seven years and is tough to impress when it comes to sushi. Also lived the innovative appetizers like the crispy rice.“

“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.“

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

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

“Our meal was delicious and the service was amazing“

“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.“

“We had such a great experience at Yuzu Sushi! The service was outstanding—Ann P. was an incredible host who truly took care of us with kindness and attention. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the whole dining experience even better.

The sushi itself was absolutely top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. What I loved most is that it wasn’t greasy at all, just pure, clean taste that makes you want to keep eating more.

Highly recommend this spot to all sushi lovers—you’ll definitely leave satisfied!“

“I cannot understand how Momoyama has anything less than a perfect five star rating.

We weren’t aware that it was single seating omakase as we happened upon this restaurant. We arrived an hour before their seating and they mention we had to make a reservation. We ended up getting the last one for the evening. We shopped around the area until it was time.

When we came back, the manager, Ryan, greeted us by name and guided us to our seat, even allowing space for my purse. There were seven total guests for the evening all seated at the bar in front of the chefs.

Ryan kindly introduced the chefs and everyone made us feel so welcome. He recommended the most delicious sake I have ever had, and continued to monitor our drink levels, refilling as needed. We didn’t need to ask for anything even once.

The food itself was one of the top three meals of my life, and I’ve eaten at many sushi restaurants, and Michelin star restaurants. As a fan of sauces and soy sauce, I was worried there wasn’t any offered, but each bite was so perfectly balanced I didn’t need anything else.

The pacing of the meal was appropriate, and I remarked how smoothly each dish came out considering this can be quite difficult with multiple parties and different eating speeds. But we never felt rushed nor like we were waiting on anyone.

The care and attention to detail was present in every morsel, every moment, down to the elegant quiet jazz music. Ryan and our chefs made warm chit chat without disturbing our dinner. We felt comfortable even with the high quality of food and service (which can sometimes make one feel like they need to “perform formality”).

The evening was the most delightful surprise and I can’t wait to go back. I will never stop recommending Momoyama to friends and visitors for the most elegant and delicious sushi in Orange County.“

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

“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.“

“I’m a sashimi lover and this restaurant offers best fresh fish. Located in the gem of Huntington Beach, Ca next to Trader Joe. Plenty of parking. I always reserve a table before I come because the place is always pack. Also one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Orange County. Owners and Staffs are wonderful“

“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!“

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

“My favorite sushi spot! Every time I've been in, I've had a great time, from great caring servers, to high quality fish, to delicately built plates. Hard to go wrong here. The fish can be a little pricey at times (since they're all market rate), but they do offer high quality options like chu toro, king salmon, and bluefin tuna. Good portion sizes too, whether rolls, sashimi, or other plates. Definitely check this spot out if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed.“

“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 😭“

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

“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.“

“I was very much pleasantly surprised upon walking in. The atmosphere and variety of menu items felt more like a mini food hall! This is my favorite poke place! It's like health food central! You can order an acai bowl too! Or they have smoothies, milk teas and fresh teas! Check out the pictures of their menu!“

“Busy. There was a line before the 11 am open time and there are very few tables in this tiny space. If you are physically disabled maybe call ahead if they can accomidate you.
The food is good. The takoyaki is amazing and the cutlets are crispy. Large portions so come hungry. Went a bit out of my way to come here but absolutely worth it.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Had a most excellent Italian cappuccino with macadamia nut milk. Espresso was so smooth - just perfect. Thanks for the ❤️ you put into your shop.“

“Hidden in a little strip, this sushi place has the sushi you need for your starving belly. Most of their clientele order to-go but there are some tables for dine-in guests. The rolls they serve are made deliciously and presented aesthetically to match what your taste buds will experience.“

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

“Growing up my grandfather frequent Niko and ordered the Superman sushi burrito! 06/06 it was soooo nice to be back and to taste the delicious sushi burrito and then some… the cashier was so nice and chatty I loved it! They were doing renovations so that a why l gave it 3/4 but overall loved it“

“I am in town visiting from across the country and this is one of the best sushi places I have ever been to. I say that as a person who worked for seven years in a sushi establishment. The service is so fast and the employees are so kind. Our sushi was delicious and even their desserts are great. We went back twice and it is truly just an exemplary restaurant. I know I have their staff to thank for my experience, so thank you guys! Keep it up 👍🏼“

“Good food & good service highly recommend no waiting time“

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

“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.“

“One of the best AYCE sushi spots in OC! The fish is always fresh, rolls are flavorful, and the portions are generous. Favorites are the garlic edamame, baked mussels, and their specialty rolls.

Service is quick and friendly, and for the price, the AYCE deal is hard to beat. Always leave full and happy—definitely my go-to sushi spot in Tustin!“
