Genuinely confused how this is highly rated. Probably one of the worst sushi places I've ever tried. The sushi gets drenched in sauce i felt like I was having a salad. We also only ordered two rolls and a soup and it came out 74 dollars?? Seriously a let down. I cant trust tiktok reviews anymore lol

Very good

This was a great little find. Service was top notch and for newbies they do a good job of explaining how to order. They offer half rolls so you can try, and we got some complimentary gyoza. All the food was amazing but we didn't care for the Jessica albacore. Overall we'd come back.

My absolute 💯 favorite sushi place. I have been coming to this spot for years Even before it was Imari. As Imara, it has proved to get better over time. The best service as well.

The sushi is very fresh and above par quality. I loved their torched (which is smoked) salmon belly, bluefin tuna, and unagi. Of those, the unagi was the freshest and smelt in your mouth without the real fishy aftertaste you usually get with the cheaper type. Their tempura is really good without being greasy. My son had the crunchy roll and pork katsu and they were OK. I think their sushi and sashimi are the way to go. Oh, their drinks, lemonade or Arnold Palmer, are large with free refills.

No waiting time to get to the table. But it takes time to make sushi.

Been there twice and it's always good

Maybe the best affordable sushi in Costa Mesa. Fresh and yummy. check it out for yourself.
I came here just in time for the last call. The service was very kind and asked us if we needed anything at regular intervals. We ordered 3 rolls and they all tasted great. We never felt rushed even though it was closing. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere and the parking and location are both very convenient. I will definitely be coming back again to try more of their menu.

Worst sushi I’ve ever had. All the rolls fell apart as soon as it was picked up to eat, the fish questionable, tasteless and farm raised. Inferior ingredients and I am sick the day after eating there. Pretty sure I should look into anti parasitics. This once was a nice authentic Japanese restaurant and now it’s employed by low wage employees that clearly have no business preparing sushi. Go somewhere else.

Sushi Imarı was one of my favorite restaurants. Gyoza and veggie rolls were tasty. However, I was not so happy with the Rolls this time, which were so mushy.

Family-owned sushi restaurant that's rides hard to please customers. Good variety of sushi and Japanese food. Friendly attentive staff.
