29 Best Sushi Bars in Costa Mesa

“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.“

“Been coming here for 2yrs. Always fresh, clean and delicious. James is a Master.“

“So glad I found this little gem. I had their omakase. Every course was beautifully presented. The clam soup had a hint of orange peel that felt so fresh. It was also my first time trying musk melon, which was such a lovely way to end the meal.“

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

“I came here because I was nearby in the area craving sushi and it was a divine experience! I highly recommend. My husband and I had the wabi sabi sampler; it was very delicious. All sushi was hand made and prepared in front of us at the sushi bar with the chef explaining what everything had. I also had the yuzu and matcha sake which were very delicious and decently priced. Even the miso soup something so simple, tasted nothing like I’ve ever had. It tasted homemade.“

“Unit shots and Madai with yuzu kosho“

“If you’re looking for a place to eat, please check out Yubuya! They have the absolute best yubu ever! Not only is the family that runs the business absolutely incredible, but the food is to die for!

I typically order online and pick-up in-store. Everytime I order, they make sure to wait until I arrive to pack up my udon to ensure that it stays hot. The dedication and care that goes into making the food and packaging everything is beyond incredible!

My go-to order is their Soy Marinated Salmon Yubu and Creamy Onion Salmon Yubu. I also always grab Udon with my order as well. It is perfectly sized so that you have enough room in your stomach to enjoy the udon and yubus!!

If you’re looking to support a small, local business, please please please stop by Yubuya! They deserve all the support in the world 🫶“

“One of my favorite family-owned, hole-in-the-wall sushi spots! 🍣 Been eating here for over 10 years and the quality has always been amazing! I usually get the rolls or combination specials (which comes with a lot of food). The owners are very kind and provide great service! If you’re craving sushi, definitely check out this authentic, yummy restaurant!“

“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 👍🏼“

“Excellent sushi with incredibly fresh, high-quality fish. Every visit has been consistently outstanding; the quality, flavor, and presentation never disappoint. I've tried so many sushi spots in OC and Yuzu easily tops the charts if you're looking for exceptionally fresh sushi and unique exciting cocktails.“

“I posted these 2 photos because this was literally my face as I was enjoying my meal. Every bite was loaded with flavor like I have not experienced Sushi nor Tostadas in this way. This restaurant is truly one of a kind and I will be back for this exact order 😄“

“Please go support this business. The sushi always turns out very good and the lady who works in the front is the sweetest she’s very patient, we wanted sushi and came in but we were recovering from the flu but we wore masks and we ordered baked spicy lobster roll & popcorn scallop sushi and she ended up giving us two miso soups for free 😭 ❤️ and also a 4.13 discount!
Thank you so much.“

“Very good“

“Super solid sushi spot. The fish tastes really fresh, everything is well-prepared, and you can tell there’s real care behind the food. Nothing feels rushed or overdone just simple, high quality sushi done right. Definitely a go to if you want something reliable and consistently good. Thank you so much sushi sho!! & The lovely host tonight.“

“Great service, My friends and I come from Germany, and our English is so so, most of this I had to use Google Translate. However, there was a kind young lady who was able to help us in German with a name something along the lines of Jessi, and she was very helpful, especially for my friends who can't really speak English well. So I wanted to give credit, and the food was great.“
