“I spent years in Japan and for an hour I forgot I was in California! The food is outstanding and authentic. ありがとうございました!“

“Great food! More like a "Sushi to go" restaurant. You order your food at the counter. There are only a couple of tables inside and out the restaurant and they will bring the food to your table if you are dining in. It is family owned and you often see Father, Mother, and Daughter working behind the counter. But every time I've eaten here, I've been very pleased with the food and service.“

“Great restaurant, staff and awesome sushi!

Restaurant can get busy quickly so pick your times.. we usually go at opening time to avoid the rush. We have never had a bad experience there.

Awesome Japanese restaurant!!“

“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.“

“Sea butter Laguna Beach is my go-to for sushi. The fish is always fresh, and the rolls are perfectly crafted. The service is friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommend for sushi lovers!“

“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.“

“Suchi chef Kevin made a beautiful artistic flower for my granddaughter -it was a beautifully cut flower made out of a cucumber to compliment her Suchi dish !
I appreciate the delicious Suchi and beautiful service !
Thank you Kevin for putting a smile on our faces !“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I’ve been ordering since they open years ago. Tonight I had an amazing and unusual experience that compelled me to write a review. Outstanding level of customer service, above and beyond all expectations to accommodate and correct a mistake that I made! To the tune of remaking my entire order complimentary! I’ve never had this experience anywhere. Thank you!“

“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.“

“We have been coming here for years and every time we have an incredible experience. The food is delicious, the service is kind and friendly and the atmosphere is delightful (we enjoy sitting outside). Reservations are recommended however we walked in at 5pm when they opened and they were happy to accommodate us. I personally enjoy the Marbella Roll and the Fried Jalapeño tapas.“

“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“

“Awesome place, great prices and amazing food, I love getting the Deluxe Bento plate, it comes with chicken teriyaki, tempura shrimp, Edamame, California rolls, crunchy rolls, and salad, plus the miso soup.“

“So walked by this place not really sure if I would enjoy it ? or not. Seen this roll called sexy hand roll with a soy wrap instead of your normal seaweed wrap. Walked in and right away was asked (How may I help you?) By the cashier. She took my order and so I asked for the sexy hand roll and I was very impressed by the taste and how it was prepared ?. Sexy hand roll $7.95“

“Very high quality / fresh combined with highly skilled chefs“

“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!“

“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.“

“Love this place! I always get their salmon teriyaki rice bowl with a side of spicy Mayo and crunchy onions, and it’s always PERFECTION! Salmon grilled perfectly, amazing rice, and the spicy Mayo and teriyaki sauce complements the rice bowl well! Can’t wait to try more of the menu items! The quality of the food here is really great and the service is excellent as well. I’ve tried other sushi places nearby for a salmon teriyaki bowl and this place is the BEST. :) Highly recommend!“

“Sony and Tai are the best. Best meal I had all year and I'm a great cook and I make fresh sushi at home. there is no sushi anywhere better. Presentation, taste, enjoyment. I would eat there every night if I could. The price is fair. So any negative reviews go eat your gas station sushi and stay home.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Made the reservation at Fin but likely didn't need to because we were the only people seated near the sushi bar and the Hotel Laguna restaurant had plenty of seating with the same menus. The food was great and with all of our plates cleaned we had zero complaints! The charred edamame and Sunset roll were my favorites!!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“I enjoyed the smoked spare ribs and the spicy stir fried prawns with veg Dessert was great too“

“If you’re too busy to go to Japan, don’t worry. This place is where you want to go for quick Japanese beer, sake and food. Real authentic yakitori to “Uni Sushi” @ very very reasonable price, and you will forget where you’re. Friendly staff and plenty of parking spaces. One thing to remember, please hire a babysitter before you and your significant other come to this place and sit at the bar side. After all, this is an Izakaya (Japanese bar). Enjoy!“

“I came here to take myself out for a little treat and I throughly enjoyed it here! Michael and Christina (I hope Thats how I spell their names!) were so kind and helpful while I was dining here. I highly recommend the beef udon and the sashimi salad ? Cheers!“

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

“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.“

“Really good food

Vegetarian options: All so delicious

Dietary restrictions: Yes

Parking: Very friendly

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Food was great and the service was amazing as well. Helpful and patient staff. I got the spicy salmon and spicy tuna with the spiciest sauces and it was good. Wasn’t too spicy at first but started kicking in halfway through. Tasted fresh and good price point!

Parking: Tons of parking“

“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.“
