26 Best Sushi Bars in Irvine

“Our meal was delicious and the service was amazing“

“Food is delicious. Ambiance is nice.“

“Great tonkatsu spot. There was about a 30min wait on Sunday night which wasn’t terrible. The tonkatsu was crunchy and juicy. I have to say, the portion sizes were more than generous. The meal was awesome but we had to mix it up with some non-fried food.“

“I recently tried some sushi rolls, and I have to say, they were incredibly fresh and delicious. Every bite felt like a perfect balance of flavors—it's clear they use quality ingredients. Even the packaging was impressive, keeping everything neat and intact, which I really appreciated. However, I couldn’t help but wish the price was just a little lower. Don’t get me wrong, it’s worth it for the quality, but it’d be nice if I didn’t have to think twice before treating myself. Still, I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“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.“

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

“If I can give more stars I would this place is fantastic food is delicious and they make it fast. I always enjoy when they put on sports on the tv since I’m a huge sports fanatic and when you request for something they always bring it fast such as a beer napkins or sodas.“

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

“Unsure why some people were crying and being negative about qulaity but it seems like they are acceptable sushi rollsI come here time to time when i pass by the location. Staffs seems to be friendly and happy to be workingPeople seems to have nothing to do with their time but trashing their negative energy around which is sad. If youre trying to compare againt ohmakase type of place, you came to wrong place. lolI recommend this place for quite bite“

“On Sunday evening, after my son finished his Taekwondo tournament in Tustin, I searched for nearby Ramen restaurants and drove my family to Yoshiharu Ramen.

To my surprise, only one server was attending to 80% of the customers. Since my kids were hungry, we decided not to spend time going to another restaurant. Therefore, we ordered the following items:

• Tonkatsu Black ($18.00)
• Tonkatsu Spicy Black ($18.50)
• Rib Eye Beef Bento ($20.00)

After waiting for 20 minutes, two bowls of Ramen arrived. I almost finished my meal when my wife and daughter realized the Bento had not arrived yet. I asked the server about it, and she apologized, explaining that it was taking longer than expected.

Advice to the Owner: To ensure better business, please consider hiring more servers and not cutting back on labor costs. Customers don’t like waiting.

If the waiting time improves, we will definitely return.

Parking: Many free parking lots“

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

“I’m so glad I found out about Pokenoya Irvine, the best poke restaurant. Went again for lunch today. They are very generous with portions and always so fresh! Highly recommend you go for lunch or early dinner. They close around 3 pm. In Irvine Spectrum Area off Technology. Enjoy!! ???PS: they have a yummy dessert waffle too.“

“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 recently ordered poke bowls for a large group event, and I was blown away by the quality and service. The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the presentation was impeccable. Every detail was thought of, from the variety of toppings to the way the bowls were packaged.

The delivery was on time and the staff was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend this poke restaurant for any occasion, whether it's a casual get-together or a formal office party.“

“Beautiful restaurant you have to check it out 💗“

“I was invited to their soft opening and went last night with a few friends. It's a new late night spot with small bites and drinks. Customer service was on point! Ron does an amazing job catering to clientele and providing great hospitality. He is truly interested in making sure customers are happy and open to ideas for any improvements! Drinks were good and strong. We had the Japanese old fashioned and lychee martini. Best part was it was buy one get one free! My favorite food was the wagyu and blue crab hand roll. It was a cool concept, they did a "reverse" hand roll and I especially loved that part because the nori was nice and crispy. Very innovative! Can't wait to return and try more of the menu items. They are going to incorporate bar food in the future and can't wait to see how it comes along. Also, they had good music selection!!!!“

“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!“

“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 :)“

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

“Went for lunch on New Year's Day. Since it's a holiday the price is for dinner instead of lunch special. Not crowded, but if you happen to be the 6th+ party seated at opening time, expect for a long wait (35mins from time of order) to get your food since the kitchen will be busy preparing the first 5 parties. Drinks were served promptly. Sodas are fountain style with unlimited refills.

Parking: Ample parking, located next to Albertsons.“

“I was able to make it here early last month after just walking around and exploring and I was pleasantly surprised at the portion sizes. I also really enjoyed the toro and got the largest portion. I sound at the bar. All of the sushi chefs were very friendly as well as the servers. If you’re chasing good Toro this is a solid spot for sure.“

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

“This place is truly a hidden gem — and it's open 24 hours! We tried the KBBQ Beef Onigiri, and it was wonderful! We also got to taste the Lavender Thyme and the Yuzu Citrus Mint Lemonade, which are both delicious. Absolutely recommend if you want a snack or a full meal any time of the day!“

“Our waitress Darnie was awesome. She felt like a friend you have known forever. She was helpful, quick and very attentive. The sushi was pretty good and it was fun to just order what you wanted on the menu screen. Nice and quick if you don't have a long lunch break. Once you order it was made and delivered on the top belt, then the bottom belt had sushi that is freshly made already so you just grab what you want. Nice to see it first instead of just a menu description. Next the plates when you're done, go in a slot at the table and it adds up your cost as you go. The whole thing was fun and tasty. Thank you Darnie for the good experience. Watch out for those robot waiters they might run ya over. ?“
