I’ve been exploring different omakase spots throughout Orange County, and this one easily makes my top 3
The speakeasy-style atmosphere makes the experience feel even more intimate and enjoyable, and the quality and freshness of the fish were exceptional. Every piece was beautifully prepared, and the service and drinks were just as impressive. Oscar was fantastic and really added to the overall experience in explaining the preparation of each.

Found this place last minute on a Sunday night — it showed fully booked online, but I called and they were kind enough to fit me in at the counter. So glad I did.
Naisho is a 14-seat omakase counter hidden behind the Highball bar. Every course felt considered: fish revealed from under a glass cloche of smoke, snow crab finished over binchotan charcoal right in front of you, and nigiri that's already seasoned by the chef — no soy sauce needed. The fish was pristine,...read full review

Very hard to get reservations and the courses are served at set times so if you show up early, you won’t get seated earlier. The sushi is very delicious with great unique flavors.
Only downside is that I think experience can vary depending on which chef serves your group. Seems like one chef is more lively and gives out more free drinks than others. Some of our sushi fell apart which wasn’t great. But overall still a really great experience because the food was very...read full review

Naisho Omakase is a 14-seat omakase counter hidden in the back of the cocktail bar HighBall, part of a "reverse speakeasy" setup. The restaurant offers a 12-course omakase for $75 and a 16-course omakase called The Journey for $100. The ambiance is intimate, cozy, and quiet, making it a great spot for solo dining. The fish is pristine, fresh, and well balanced, with most sourced from Japan, and each piece is beautifully prepared and already seasoned by the chef — no soy sauce needed. Courses feel considered, with fish revealed from under a glass cloche of smoke, snow crab finished over binchotan charcoal right in front of you, and nigiri that feels like its own little composition. Service is top notch, with engaged and attentive chefs and servers. The pricing is fair for this level of quality in Orange County. Some notes: fish portions were on the smaller side, the rice was a bit too delicate and kept falling apart when picked up, and the fish was pre-cut. Extras like uni toast and their take on tinned fish are offered at $20 per piece, which felt disproportionately high compared to the value of the main experience. Reservations are super hard to get online, but calling can help. The Journey is already a solid experience on its own.
