50 Best Sushi Bars near Foothill Ranch

“The freshest fish I’ve ever had in my life. Absolutely fantastic. Is ten stars a thing? This place deserves that many. Epic food. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙌🏽“

“Their Omakase is one of the best.“

“The food is amazing!!! Knee is the best waitress ever👏👏👏👏🥰🥰“

“Oh My Sushi is a hidden gem tucked away in a strip mall in Laguna Niguel. They serve incredibly fresh fish, beautifully presented in both classic and creative sushi rolls. The Toro Tasting is amazing. The décor is modern and inviting, the drinks are inventive, and the dessert selection is a sweet surprise. Their sake list is impressive — don’t miss the sake flight, it’s a must-try!”“

“Fantastic! Toshi-san is the real deal. If you want an authentic sushi experience in Laguna Beach, true to its origins, plus a little SoCal flair, this is the spot. Take it from someone who lived in Japan for over seven years and is tough to impress when it comes to sushi. Also lived the innovative appetizers like the crispy rice.“

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

“Sashimi is a sushi restaurant located at the corner of Lake Forest Drive and Dimension Drive. It appears to be run by a Korean family and is a popular spot among the locals. They have a sushi bar, but we opted to dine at a table. Steve greeted us and was not only friendly and helpful, but his service level enhanced our overall dining experience.

We tried a number of dishes during our visit. Among my favorites were the Veggie Tempura, Salmon Nigiri, Lake Forest Roll (I appreciate that they allow substitutions so I subbed spicy yellowtail in place of the spicy tuna) and Special Carpaccio S. The Spicy Salmon cut roll was nothing special and tasted more like a California Roll. The Yellowtail Cheek was good, but it was more meaty and less tender than I've enjoyed at other Japanese restaurants. My wife ordered the Pink Lady, but I prefer my sushi with rice. All in all, we enjoyed our Sashimi experience and I'd recommend checking it out if you're in Lake Forest and in the mood for raw fish at a reasonable price.“

“We love it here! Super good food and nice employees. We went the other night for dinner. My husband got the chicken and beef teriyaki plate with white rice, California rolls, edamame, tempura, and Crunchyroll. They put a great variety of items on the dinner plates and it's so delicious! I got the Chashu ramen. It was delish. It was like a bowl of comfort. The only thing I would suggest is on the ramen there are green onions on top and I wish that they were chopped up instead of in strips. I feel like I always have a hard time chewing strips of green onion, but other than that, everything is so good.“

“Busy. There was a line before the 11 am open time and there are very few tables in this tiny space. If you are physically disabled maybe call ahead if they can accomidate you.
The food is good. The takoyaki is amazing and the cutlets are crispy. Large portions so come hungry. Went a bit out of my way to come here but absolutely worth it.“

“Restaurant is clean and open. Their sashimi bento box lunch special [includes miso soup, cucumber salad, tempura, half CA roll, and seven slices of quality sashimi served with real wasabi!] is the best and it was only $20. Thank you to sushi chef Obi for his recommendation. Now if they only served Kuronama or any other Japanese dark beer, they'd be perfect.“

“By far the best Sushi place in the area! There are two equally good sushi places further away, but I cannot recall any that is better! Food is always delicious, fresh, and very friendly and fast. You can tell that the chef is very experienced and knows how to deliver the experience! I feel lucky to live really close! :)“

“It's one of me and my fiancé Denise's favorite place. We go there all the time and it's always awesome. I highly recommend it to anyone that lives in the area. We absolutely love it and they take care of you like family.“

“Portion sizes for a sushi restaurant are double than what's typically served at other sushi restaurants. It was really surprising because I went in without knowing what the food was really like and I ended up getting this mountain of fresh sashimi! The sushi rice was seasoned well and the fish tasted great. They gave me a dipping sauce which I assume was a mix of yuzu, soy sauce, and sesame oil. I loved it more than regular soy sauce for my sashimi. My husband ordered a specialty roll and it was basically a futomaki, but it spanned the entire length of his torso.

I would absolutely recommend this place for its quality, excellent portion size for its price, relaxing atmosphere, and quick service.“

“My family and I loooove this place. The food is amazing, great prices and the people are amazing. I honestly don’t have anything negative to say about it. It’s my 5 year old favorite restaurant since he was a toddler and every time we are here we know we are going to have a warm welcome.“

“Great Sushi and lots of fun.“

“If you’re looking for your new favorite sushi spot—this is it.

I’ve been coming to Tru Sushi N Fish for almost 2 years now, and it’s consistently amazing. The fish is incredibly fresh, the flavors are clean and authentic, and everything on the menu is prepared with real care and respect for traditional sushi culture.

It’s not just the food that keeps me coming back—it’s the experience. The vibe is perfect for a date night, a catch-up with friends, or even a solo sushi fix. The space is cozy, stylish, and never feels rushed or overwhelming.

And let’s talk about the people—Eurie and the whole staff are absolute gems. They’re friendly, welcoming, and genuinely make you feel like a regular from day one.

Tru isn’t just a sushi restaurant—it’s a place you’ll want to keep coming back to.
Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or just discovering it, you’ll leave happy, full, and already planning your next visit.

🔥 10/10 highly recommend—don’t sleep on this spot!“

“They gave us as much sushi as we wanted and didn’t blink an eye when we ordered 30+ rolls. I also didn’t get AYCE sushi and they were super accommodating as long as I didn’t eat any bites of the others food. Such a great experience, would recommend!“

“The Ladyfingers are divine and no one else has them on the menu that I've ever seen. The Chefs are top notch and we've never been disappointed.“

“Good food and friendly service“

“We sat at the sushi bar and Joe-san was our sushi chef. He was fast, efficient and everything was tasty. We chose the Oh My God roll towards the end and honestly folks? It is OMG spectacular! And so was the Queen Imperial with yellowtail and mango. Great service!!!“

“We ate dinner here last night. Probably the best sushi we’ve ever had. The staff was great as well.“

“Best Sushi ever, have been there 4 times in two weeks of vacation with friends and family. Great & friendly staff, too!“

“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.“

“Cool little hole in the wall place down the street from my parents place. Got the bento box and it hit the spot. I don't live there, but if you are looking for a random place, this isn't a bad place to check out. Only dig is they close early. Probably because they are in the back spot of a complex. So staying open late would be tough if folks don't know you are there.“

“Stopped by this Japanese restaurant in lake forest on a Friday night with family. We sat down promptly and the service was fast. Tried an assortment of sushi and hand rolls edamame cucumber salad and their spicy beef bowl. All gray and fresh although the the spicy beef bowl wasn’t spicy and was more sweet than anything else. Overall a solid 4.“

“I visited this sushi spot yesterday and was really impressed. The sushi was incredibly tasty, and the portions of sashimi were perfect. So many other sushi places are stingy with their portions while still charging a premium, but this place strikes the right balance. Keep up the great work! I will definitely be back!“

“A Beachside Sushi Gem! My girlfriend and I recently visited this sushi spot by the beach, and we were absolutely blown away. From the moment we arrived, everything felt like a dream — the ocean breeze, the sound of the waves, and the beautiful view perfectly set the mood for a relaxing, romantic late lunch. The sushi was incredible — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell the chefs care about the quality and creativity behind each dish. We tried a variety of rolls and every single one was a hit, but the Sunshine roll was unforgettable. The service was just as great — friendly, attentive, and chill, never rushed. It really added to the whole experience. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. If you're looking for top-tier sushi with a stunning beach vibe, this place is a must!“

“Fast ... very friendly... great foods and great prices... A+++++....“

“Menu: Omakase Sushi and Sushi 9 pcs
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4/5)

The sushi here is absolutely fresh and beautifully presented—each piece melts in your mouth and has a delicate, authentic flavor. The quality of the fish is outstanding, and the attention to detail makes every bite feel like a true omakase experience. The plate was vibrant and elegant, with garnishes that elevated the overall presentation.

However, the restaurant seems to be understaffed. There was only one waitress handling the entire floor. She did an excellent job—friendly, attentive, and very professional—but it’s clear she was stretched thin. Service took a little longer because of this, though her effort and attitude were commendable.

If the staffing issue gets resolved, this place would easily be a 5-star experience. Highly recommended for sushi lovers looking for fresh, high-quality dishes!“

“First time eating here and it did not disappoint. I ordered the sexy roll and it was delicious 🤤 . A great combination of crunchy and spicy. I also ordered miso soup and so far one of my favorites , so savory definitely recommend this restaurant. Wonderful service, i will definitely come back.“

“This place is adorable. We've been here a few times now. Food is good and drinks are great. I mean who wouldn't like googly eyes on their sandwich bun and coconut drink?!“

“Best lunch bento box. Miso soup was very tasty. Spicy tuna roll was delicious!“

“We came here to use a coupon we got in the mail for a BOGO tonkatsu bowl. We were told this item was not on the menu but we could order it. We decided to get this mystery item and it was delicious! The menu has a very large selection and is reasonably priced. Service was fast and friendly.“

“My husband and I stopped in on a Friday evening. We were the only patrons which made me a little concerned at first but there was consistent takeout pickup the whole time we were there. Our apps were fresh and prepared to order. I had the green curry and my husband had the KUA-KRING SIAM, both had incredible flavors and just straight up delicious!“

“Love this lil place. Service is amazing and love the waitresses -they are always so friendly and welcoming! I really appreciate and am grateful they have a gluten free menu! It’s limited and wish they had more options but it’s so great because I don’t need to worry about getting sick from gluten! Not many sushi places have gluten free menus!“

“Great place! Hole in the wall with limited seating, but the food was fresh and delicious. Price was not much more than lower quality sushi restaurants.
it gets packed very quick, so reservations is recommended. We didn't have reservations and had to wait about 10-15 minutes.“

“amazing atmosphere and food was absolutely delicious!!!“

“I've been here dozens of times since I was a kid, and I am incredibly attached. the katsu chicken and udon are absolutely delicious. staff has always been helpful and friendly. I have a lot of good memories from this place. I hope they stay open forever <3“

“Most wondrous sushi! My wife and I popped in last weekend. First time visiting. We were warmly greeted and seated right away. Our server was so polite and friendly. The chefs waved from behind the sushi bar. Our beer and sake were tasty and the sushi dishes were delicious and just the right size. Love the atmosphere; we went for lunch and it was quiet, but I imagine it can be hustle bustle in the evening. Definitely recommended, check it out. 🍣“

“I’m glad Uoko survived the pandemic and still in business since the 80s.“

“el sushi es bueno la comida de Alex es asquerosa“

“La mejor comida de la área lo máximo“

“It is a very small restaurant with about 4 tables inside, 6 tables outside and a small bar. Do make a reservation as they fill up quickly! We sat outside in February but it was fine because they have lots of heaters! You can also get a partial view of the lake from their patio.The service is prompt and friendly and food is delicious.

Parking: Lots of free parking available in the plaza lot.“

“I ordered here for the first time for our weekly company lunch. The feedback from my coworkers is great. It's a bit pricey as expected for poke. The lunch bowl is a good size and has lots of texture and the sauce is awesome. I wish they would have a printed menu available so I can post it in the office.
This place is close to work and is far less crowded than the one at the Sand Canyon/Irvine Blvd (parking is terrible at lunch!!) I sure will come to order again next time.“

“The ingredients were fresh AF and they had a bunch of options for toppings that made my poke bowl totally unique. Plus the staff was nice and helpful, even when I asked them a million questions about the stuff. I'd definitely go back there again, it's like, legit one of the best places to get poke in town.“

“Sushi
Came here because we were curious and hungry. Not a lot of people which was perfect and got seated right away. The ambiance is a Japanese and Korean vibe. The food and service is so great.

Food. So many to choose from and you only have one stomach. Don’t you hate that.

What my family ordered.
Gurume steak
Salmon

Sushi and a few sushi rolls

Everything is so delicious. Sushi and sushi rolls are so fresh. Would definitely comeback her again.“

“​I've had a lot of sushi in Orange County, and this spot is one of the best—and the price is right. The high-quality food, the location, and the fantastic staff all make this place a winner. Tom and his wife are an absolute delight.

​I highly recommend the Poki bowl. This place was serving up poki bowls long before they were on every corner. The quality is so much better, and you get way more fish. It's a must-try.“

“Perfect sushie 🍣 Delicious drinks and excellent service🧙‍♀️🧹“

“The best AYCE sushi we have had. This IS our go to sushi spot in OC. The food is superbly fresh and clean and has you wanting to get more and more. Try everything they have to offer. Or, don't bother with the generic appetizers and head straight for the sushi. The staff is generally good, but it can take some time to get their attention. But that is because they are ALWAYS so busy! But the food here is absolutely the star of the show. I think it is OC's best spot!“

“Very clean environment and fresh sashimi. Good service too👍“
