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.“

“Their Omakase is one of the best.“

“Amazing Japanese cuisine in Costa Mesa, CA. This place is one of the best Japanese restaurants in all of Orange County. The interior style resembles what all Japanese restaurants should look like, and most importantly, the food and service was top notch. They have an extensive sushi menu and it has always been very fresh and also Japanese imported. Hands down, my top 5 favorite Japanese restaurants in California.“

“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 👍🏽“

“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“

“Yet another winner from KEI Concepts. The hand rolls are served warm, one at a time, so you get the full flavor of the roll. They advise you eat them as soon as they are served + follow that advice. Consider the yuzu kosho sauce to complement the rolls. The lunch special of four rolls, miso soup and edamame is a great bargain, and they will substitute if you have allergies. The cucumber salad and crispy rice tartar are a nice way to start.“

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

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

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“Most underrated, sushi spot for miles around, HB/FV (trust me, I eat a lot of sushi and i know what's up). I live in DT HB and drive to fountain Valley just to come here. Great rolls, great prices. Small place though, so it gets busy sometimes. I'm shocked there isn't an hour long wait every night. They keep to the basics, for the most part. Nothing too exotic, just solid, solid rolls and sashimi. Best salmon skin roll I've ever had. Best Hamachi kama. Best fresh, hot green tea. Fire in the hole roll, 747 roll, yellow rose roll, baked lobster roll... you can't go wrong. Karen and Daniel put it down for FV. Not a fancy place, but best value by far in the HB area.“

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

“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.“

“Unit shots and Madai with yuzu kosho“

“What a wonderful restaurant! The food here is incredible! We especially love the California Rolls and Japanese soda. When they prepare tuna it's quite a show and so much fun! What's best is how kind they are to children. My son has become friends with the owners/ staff over the years, and always leaves with a huge smile on his face. 5 stars!!!“

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

“We were visiting Labor Day weekend from Chicago, happened to walk by this place and stumbled in. The host/server was courteous and friendly. The rolls were great. They even made me a custom roll I asked for not on the menu. The chef was fun to watch! Great little date spot. No line to get in, delicious, and great atmosphere. You can’t go wrong here!“

“The food here was good. The spicy edemame was great. They have some decent lunch specials. The service was not the greatest. I was finished with my drink and couldn't find anyone to help replace it so I enjoyed half of my meal without a drink which was a little unpleasant. I would go back to give them another shot.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Our meal was delicious and the service was amazing“

“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.“

“Hard to pick. menu great! even a half of list! was perfect to show grandson lil by lil different choices with smaller portions. He enjoyed it all. :)“

“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!“

“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 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.“

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

“This is some of the best sushi in HB, and maybe in all of OC. Some of their specials are pretty mind blowing (the price tag is too, but that's sushi/fresh fish!). Service is great. As others mentioned, if you want to be certain of a table, it's best to book as they are pretty regularly busy. You can go for a great lunch too. Parking is easy. My only negative is the restaurant smells very greasy to me, but that only bothers me upon entering, after that I stop noticing it. Not a lot of ambiance, but this is not unusual for sushi especially in a strip mall.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best of the Best Dining at this restaurant is nothing short of an exceptional experience. Every plate is crafted from scratch by highly talented chefs whose creativity and attention to detail shine through in each bite. The flavors are refined yet original, making this the most exquisite and memorable sushi I have enjoyed in my entire life. Over the past six weeks, my family and I have returned five times, and with each visit the quality has remained consistently outstanding. The menu demonstrates an extraordinary balance between authenticity and innovation, and every dish feels both comforting and inspiring. Equally remarkable is the service. From the warm welcome at the door to the attentiveness of the servers and the seamless support of the runners, every member of the team embodies professionalism and genuine hospitality. Their care transforms an excellent meal into a truly unforgettable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking world-class cuisine, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that makes every visit special. It has quickly become our favorite destination, and we look forward to returning again and again.“

“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 😭“

“Delicious sushi, always fresh! Friendly and efficient staff. One of my favorite sushi places!“

“My wife and I absolutely love coming here for Omakase. I have no idea why someone would think that this place would be all you can eat... do a little more research. We've especially enjoyed the atmosphere here because yes you can buy the chefs drinks and watch them enjoy what they love doing.

I recommend getting reservations at the bar for Omakase, the host and servers are always so welcoming and attentive.

We typically come here for special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries with friends because this is premium priced dining sushi experience but we have always left satisfied and excited for the next time we come back.

Their appetizers and sushi have never failed to be amazing, from the special agedashi tofu to their beautiful cut nigiri, this is somewhere we will always return to.

We will be back soon enough!“

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

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

“Absolutely amazing! Poki Poki in Huntington Beach is my new favorite spot! The food was perfect! Super fresh, flavorful, and made just how I like it. The service was so kind and welcoming, you can really tell they care about their customers.“

“The taste of fresh fish with warm rice and crispy nori is unbelievable! If you want to try something different from hand rolls, try cryspy rice tartar, it's good. And my own lifehack for those taking care of calorie intake: I eat miso soup before my meal so I'm not that hungry anymore. Green tea is also a great drink because of its health benefits. Sometimes you have to wait for about a half of an hour to be seated, I believe you can check in on the website prior to arrival.“

“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!“

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

“완전 best 최고👍“

“This is easily the best sushi restaurant I have ever tried! I visit very often and can always expect high quality, thoughtfully made products! The owner is very kind and creates a lovely atmosphere in the store. I have tried numerous types of sushi, the miso soup, and some of the bakery items here, and everything is delicious. There are a wide variety of menu items for all types of paletes, and even people who don’t usually like sushi absolutely fall in love when I take them here! Everything is put together very quickly which makes it quite convenient to visit even when you are busy. I would recommend this restaurant over and over again for anybody in the area! : )“

“Food here is ok, sushi was good and generous portion, but they didn't use the right sauce for the takoyaki and the mango on the rolls were not good. The dumplings were overcooked and had some burnt pieces. It was empty for Sunday lunch, but I would maybe give it another chance and order differently.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Even if you spot a line outside, it moves fairly quickly, plus the meal is absolutely worth the wait. Their pork katsu stands out with its crisp exterior, juicy center, rich flavor, generous serving size, plus a level of quality that’s rare to find. It reminded me of classic katsu spots overseas, which is high praise. I’d return without hesitation.“

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

“Hands down the best fish taco I’ve ever had in a long long time. Talk about flavorful packed explosion of flavors. Easily hands down a contender for one of the top bites to eat in 2024. The sushi looks incredible and will be back for that in another visit. I love how it’s light and not greasy and they have a record 30 different sauces that are made for each menu item! That’s crazy and the cilantro jalapeño cream sauce wow.“
