“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!”“

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

“Surprisingly excellent and interesting sushi and sashimi. We wandered in here for lunch one day and sat outside in the patio which was nice. The service was good. Price is a bit higher but you totally get what you pay for. The quality, flavors, and quantity were all great. We really enjoyed it and if we lived closer would come often.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My favorite sushi restaurant, without a doubt, offers an experience worth every penny. I always go for the buffet, as the variety and quality of the ingredients shine through in every bite—something I don’t always find elsewhere. The sushi has just the right amount of ingredients, making it perfect in taste and texture.

I love the family-friendly atmosphere, and you can tell they pay attention to every detail to ensure a great customer experience. Plus, the cleanliness is impeccable, which makes me feel confident every time I go back. These kinds of family-owned restaurants deserve all our support; they’re a gem in the community.“

“This is a good neighborhood joint. It's not fancy, but the food is solid and the staff is attentive and friendly. If you go regularly, they'll remember your name.The have indoor seating (sushi bar and tables) and a small covered patio. They have fun hand-lettered signs with specials. Halibut carpaccio was one the specials tonight.If you go for lunch, they've got bento box specials that are tasty too.RECOMMEND

Parking: This is in in a large shopping plaza with a big parking lot. Parking is never a problem.

Kid-friendliness: They don't have a kids menu or specific option for kids. If your kid likes sushi or teriyaki or tempura, then your kid would do okay here.“

“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.“

“Food is good, pricing is fair, most of the wait-staff is friendly with the exception of the male host at the front who handles phone orders. His customer service is lacking extremely, so much so, I would think twice about ordering take-out from here“

“Best sushi locally by far unless you are looking for a super expensive (over $200 per person) and elite experience. Amazing and creative sushi items ($15-20). Some unique and fabulous food creations. Weird and dated vibe but very pleasant and charming if you are not a clean freak. Lots of decorative items are part of a 30+ year experience that makes this place like home. Probably my favorite food experience!“

“Came here for the first time last night on a whim cause we didn't feel like cooking. We're vegetarian, so we asked them for options. They were able to make us avocado rolls and a vegetarian base for the ramen. The food was good, not too salty or heavy. The service was awesome and humorous.“

“The salmon roll and beef miso soup were good. The salmon seemed very fresh and had a good texture. There was a decent amount of beef in the soup.
The wait staff seemed very eager for us to order and also the clear the table while we were still eating. I think it would be better if they were a little more patient“

“Great Sushi and lots of fun.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I hope the manager takes the time to read my review. We visited TruSushi today, and the food was excellent and truly one of the best sushi spots in OC. However, the service from the young lady working there was overwhelming. While I appreciate her effort to serve us, she was at our table every couple of minutes, which became intrusive. It disrupted our ability to have a conversation and enjoy a peaceful meal. Some diners value a bit of space while they eat. I really hope this issue is addressed because, honestly, her overly attentive service is the main reason I’d hesitate to return.“

“Food quality under the new management is excellent. All of the tempura dishes were perfectly cooked and the sushi rolls were a nice consistency - not too loose and not too dense. Tuna quality was good.

New owner is very attentive.“

“Good food and friendly service“

“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!“

“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.“

“Pretty good ramen and sushi. Our group ordered the tonkotsu black and spicy miso ramen. Both were very flavorful and filling. We also order the salmon bento box and chicken katsu with curry. Both the bento boxes were good, but katsu seemed a little dry. It's better with the curry, but I wouldn't order it again. The sushi was great. We got the baked salmon roll and crunch fire roll. Both were fresh and delicious! I would come back to try the other ramen.“

“Went here with my mom and friend for a quick dinner and ended up having such an amazing time!

We ordered the 2 combination with salmon teriyaki and sashimi (tuna and salmon) bento box and also the 3 combination beef teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, and crispy scallop bento box. It was delicious and the portions were great for the price point! It also came with ginger dressing salad, sunomono salad, miso soup, a scoop of rice, and two orange slices!

We also got spicy garlic edamame which was absolutely addicting to eat. It was so so good, coming from someone who rarely eats spice.

We also tasted the bluefin tuna sashimi with crispy kale chips and garlic—OMG, this was delectable. It was so fresh and paired surprisingly well with the kale chips and garlic.

The owner also came over and let us sample one of the new appetizers they’re planning to serve! It was called negi tofu and it was so light and yummy, perfect for any tofu lovers or any group who wants a light appetizer. It was essentially a cube of tofu with a yummy sauce on top served with fresh vegetables and red onion.

For dessert we got the strawberry and matcha macaron ice cream which was just the cherry on top. Pretty sweet for my liking, but if you’re a sweet tooth, you’ll love it.

TLDR: Get the bluefin tuna with crispy kale chips sashimi! Also their salmon teriyaki and spicy garlic edamame is a must-try. Will for sure be coming back soon! Also, the miffy bento box is not included, I made it haha.“

“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?!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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. 🍣“

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

“4.5 stars.

A bit pricy and the hours are a bit odd but have always left full and happy. The hospitality is amazing and each roll or dish is hand prepared with care.

The hand rolls are huge - beware when ordering as they are quite filling (and delicious!). Cucumber salad is refreshing and the yellowtail and tuna are incredibly fresh and light.

Daily specials are “special dishes” not necessarily specials of the day (price wise).

Huge lot shared with other retailers but this location is off to itself with ample parking.

Vegetarian options: Salads and some options but not many

Parking: Huge lot shared with other retailers but this location is off to itself with ample parking.“

“Siam Thai is a family owned establishment in my neighborhood with friendly ownership and conscientious service. My favorite dishes are the Crying Tiger Salad, Papaya Salad, and the Honey Duck. The individual ingredients are superior quality and spiciness levels are accurate to the requested amount. I prefer very low spice in order to taste each natural flavor. The Boba Tea bar is a newer addition and the drinks are decorative and well mixed- especially the Taro Milk Tea. This restaurant is part of my weekly dining out ritual.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Delicious ramen , broth was amazing . Sushi rolls very fresh and creative, looking forward to trying more things !“

“Great food and excellent customer service

Yaki Udon noodles were great and all of us enjoyed our dinner
Excellent service and food
The employees were attentive if we needed anything
This place deserves more than 5 stars“

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

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

“Pleasantly surprised by how good the AYCE sushi was. There was a bit of a wait when we arrived right before they opened on a Friday, we added ourselves to the waitlist and it took about 20 minutes to be seated. The sushi and hot foods is of good quality, but there isn’t a lot of variety when it comes to nigiri. Still, it’s a very good option if you want AYCE sushi.“
