29 Best Sushi Bars in Irvine

“Our meal was delicious and the service was amazing“

“It was excellent! We’re big fans of sushi rolls, and this place was recommended to us by friends — we loved everything! Especially the Los Angeles Roll and the Bluefin. The fish was incredibly fresh and just melted in our mouths. Highly recommend to everyone!“

“Food is great.
Kasu is great.
Service is generally very good, besides this male staff who is in charge of counter, seating, and billing.
We are still on seat, they took away the sign credit card receipt super fast, and grab it like a flash. He looks like just woke up, not happy, and not kind at all.“

“Everything was very tasty, and the sushi was fresh and delicious. The place is very clean, and I really liked the cozy atmosphere with the tiny tables—it makes the experience feel warm and comfortable. It was also very pleasant to receive a macaron dessert as a gift. Absolutely recommend this place!“

“Omg! One of the best hand roll spots. My boyfriend and I were craving hand rolls after our San Diego trip and stumbled upon this place.

It's a cute small restaurant bar seating only in a U shape so be prepared for a wait but it's worth it!

Amazing customer service, shout out to (maybe the manager?) I asked if we can take our drink to go and she filled the to go cup partially to make sure we had a full cup to go.

The rolls were amazing, amazing flavors, everything was fresh. The uni toro roll was definitely my favorite. The uni was so delicious, and melts in your mouth.

The only downside if I had to give one is they don't substitute or make modifications based on allergies. I had said I was allergic to shiitake mushrooms because one of the rolls in the high roller set had it, but they can't modify. I still did the high roller and just took out the shiitakes. Other than that everything was great.“

“We had a great experience here! The staff was very nice and attentive from start to finish. The restrooms were clean, and it felt nice and cool inside—especially with it being 90 degrees outside. The food was delicious and came out quickly on the conveyor belt, which made it a fun and unique experience. Overall, it was an awesome first visit, and we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Had a most excellent Italian cappuccino with macadamia nut milk. Espresso was so smooth - just perfect. Thanks for the ❤️ you put into your shop.“

“They were super busy, as in slammed, NYE with to-go orders but still maintained friendly and personable service. Best of all the FOOD turned top tierrrr!! Them being busy didn’t affect or impact the quality of my order, which I was kind of worried about. Best wagyu Ever and the jalapeño bombs are the BOMB!! Honorable mention the spider roll, always a hit. Can’t miss, everything I’ve had so far is good.“

“This place is a hidden diamond. It was the best sushi me and my wife ever had. I am big with all you can eat sushi restaurants but this place is heaven. I will not go anywhere else moving forward. This is my spot now.
I highly recommended the hostess, and the waitresses are extremely friendly.“

“I was a patient at Hoag Irvine. For lunch I decided to have delivery from this Japanese restaurant.
All I can say was that I'm glad I did.
The sushi was very tasty and fresh with nice size portions. I'll be back with friends minus the hospital stay.

Cheers“

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

“Good sushi, good service and good prices. Perfect and right around the corner.“

“First time here and love this place new favorite pokey spot. Kye told me he could make me a really good bowl and he made me his bowl. The chef introduced himself and advised me the salmon was fresh. Amazing bowl for an amazing price my new spot.“

“It's my favorite lunch spot the service is consistently great, and the food is absolutely fantastic. Their lunch specials are a steal, and the regular menu items are delicious too. Plus, they can accommodate large groups! Highly recommended!“

“Came here twice and food is really good. Seems to be kind of quiet which is nice. Really liked the dinosaurian egg and Mars roll, might try the ramen next time. The sashimi was fresh and well prepared, which is super important! Recommend :)“

“Server terry was great, food was delicious i tried the new beer they have from japan they serve it to you with mint leaves 🍃 and it tastes phenomenal, the Mexican roll, stuffed jalapeños and the Jeffrey roll and the miso soup are the best 👌“

“I eat here a couple of times a week. It's so healthy and delicious. The Poke burrito rocks!“

“Superb Japanese restaurant that is set in a modern, elevated dining space. The quality of the food is great and very delicious. They have a large menu filled with classic sushi, sashimi, rolls, and other entrees. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This was the first time I have ever seen double sided chopsticks, which were very interesting and helpful.“

“Discovered this gem while on the search for lunch! Amazing sushi 🍣 sashimi options, and the tempura was fried to perfection (very crispy)! Also tried the non alcoholic Sapporo and it was light and foamy. Miso soup was okay! Loved the restaurant ambiance, very quiet and clean/nice decor, attentive and friendly servers (more upscale than a casual place). I think we found our new sushi 🍣 spot in Irvine 🥰 highly recommend!“

“I always love coming here. The onigiri is really tasty and they season it well. This place to go to is nice and kinda private plus many places to sit. The service is wonderful too!! Great spot for someone who wants to try onigiri for the first time as it won't let you down for a first try or for someone who loves onigiri.“

“Houston Location: We arrived at our reservation and waited 10 minutes for the hostess. Once seated, we were uninstructed on how to order. Sushi chefs explained the process. Our waiter arrived 10 minutes after, taking our drink order. The app arrived before the waters, followed by the drinks after we ordered and received the sushi. The manager noticed us looking for our waiter but was often in the corner on his phone or socializing with the hostess. The sushi chefs were also on their phones while making the sushi, which was unhealthy. Despite the germy seasoning, the food was amazing.“

“Everything was amazing to the food, the atmosphere and service!“

“Rotating sushi spots can be hit or miss but this one is all hits. Everything coming around is fresh, well-made, and reasonably priced. The specialty rolls that come out warm are insane. Perfect for a fun casual dinner — I love bringing clients here who want a taste of Irvine's amazing food culture without a heavy price tag. It's interactive, it's delicious, and it's just a great time. Huge fan.“

“Amazing sushi-rolls! Service is awesome👍🏻“

“With a charming and intimate atmosphere, Taiko Japanese Restaurant is ideal for romantic dinners or special occasions. The comfortable interior design and beautiful views create a pleasant dining atmosphere. Taiko is impressive with its creative and innovative Japanese cuisine. Dishes are carefully prepared with fresh ingredients, demonstrating authentic flavours and culinary expertise. Famous dishes include exquisite sushi and sashimi platters, as well as delicious teriyaki chicken and miso cod. Despite being a high-end restaurant, Taiko is reasonably priced and offers excellent value for money food quality and service.“

“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.“

“Such nice service and delicious sushi, udon/soba, sake, yam fries, edamame and tempura! (pictured is the Tekka naki and Unagi and California , crunchy eel roll, and spicy tuna roll!“

“Delicious Japanese food & sushi! 😋“

“Love this place!! You can get tons of fresh and melt in your mouth sushi for a reasonable price! My favorite is the seared salmon mayo, but there’s also types of fish here that are more common to Japan! They also have a dessert menu! 🐠🍰“
