Kakurega: Sushi Tapas Sake is a hidden gem in Costa Mesa, offering incredibly fresh and delicious Japanese cuisine. The menu features a variety of sushi and cooked dishes, all bursting with flavor reminiscent of Japan. The staff is friendly and attentive, making guests feel welcome and comfortable. The cozy atmosphere creates a sense of a little getaway. Many customers praise the fresh fish and quick, friendly service, which makes every visit enjoyable. Popular appetizers include agedashi tofu with eggplant and shishito pepper, along with crispy tuna rice, which some consider the best. The sushi options are diverse, with favorites like seared salmon, yellowtail belly, red snapper (especially when seared), orange clam, and uni. The uni is particularly praised for its sweetness and clean taste, melting in the mouth without any bad aftertaste. Servers and chefs go out of their way to ensure a pleasant experience, even fixing the heat lamp on the patio to keep guests comfortable. The omakase is described as a delicious mystery tour, with each bite offering a new surprise. Many customers mention the great service, beautiful sushi, and the lowkey yet elevated atmosphere. The seared Red snapper with shishito peppers is a standout dish. Whether visiting with family, friends, or alone for a personal adventure, Kakurega is a must-visit in SoCal for a satisfying and memorable dining experience.
