Food was amazing, servers were very good although service was a bit slow from time to time. Highly recommend.

The food is the best and is delicious. The service is one of a kind in pizza. The taste is the best. The atmosphere is the best on Laguna Beach.Vegetarian options: The best seafood in Laguna Beach.
Enough is enough. Have to write. With respect to the price point, it may be the worst sushi in Southern California. Oh, on takeout orders, these morons place sushi rolls on absorbent paper sheets so you can't pull the roll off without ruining the already poorly made sushi and they don't fully cut the rolls so grab a spoon! The Chicken Teriyaki bowl tasted like a gluey microwave dinner. All the sauces are gross. Other than that, the atmosphere is bare. Can't order at the sushi bar.

We showed up at 5 on a Monday night. Incredible staff, fresh fish, great service, attentive thoughtful sushi chef, generous cuts of fish. Great - off the menu specials. Aesthetically beautiful lighting, date night ambiance. Best sushi, warm romantic vibe. A 10+++ Bring all of your friends & family. They will LOVE it!
Firstly, the culinary experience was outstanding and arguably ranks among the top two sushi meals I've ever had. However, my concerns revolve around the customer service aspect. I reserved a month in advance for my girlfriend's birthday, explicitly noting the occasion and expressing a preference for a window seat through the booking app.Upon arrival, we were seated at a table wedged between two others, despite my window seat request. When I raised the issue, the hostess explained they were reserving those tables for a larger party, yet throughout our 1.5-hour dinner, at least two window tables remained unoccupied. To make matters worse, twice a party of two were seated at those seats!The second letdown occurred when the waitress brought out the second roll. Despite our table being full with drinks and previous plates, she waited for us to make room instead of offering assistance.The final disappointment came when our waitress neglected to present the dessert menu or extend birthday wishes to my girlfriend. To add to the frustration, moments later, she offered the couple next to us a dessert menu. While the food was exceptional, the overall experience was marred by these service-related issues.

Absolutely amazing sushi here. It's a must try if you're in Laguna. Located on the second floor of a medium sized suite of businesses, it could be easily missed if you're just walking down the street. Sea butter has an extensive amount of options from sashimi, sushi and handrolls. The waiters help you by giving plenty of options to choose from. Between two peopoe we split two sushi plates and were plenty full. You can't go wrong no matter what you try. Don't miss out!

Service was lacking and some food was not ordered and when we asked about it - oh do you want me to drop it from the bill ? No we just want what we ordered please. It finally came before we left - an oyster shot. Food was good -a little pricey but that was expected. I had to call the manager and complain that I crossed my tip off the check and redid the total and they still took the tip. I'm waiting for a refund. It's the principle that counts.
Great place! Get the DOUBLE T best roll ok menu!!!!

It was alright but nothing to phone home about. Sexy garlic albacore - avocado was browning, insane amount of onions, sushi itself was good but heavy on the sauce Baked lobster crispy rice - very goodEdamame - pretty standard Mr. Crab - needed a vegetable for some texture. Very soft, lacked a bite to it. Very creamy as well, just needed something to cut the richness. Overall was pretty good but would likely skip if visiting the area.

Don't come. If you are willing to waste your time and money, please come. They do not know how to do the business. So shame for pretending to be authentic ?.

Not an authentic Japanese food.High price!!!!small portion.Not knowledgeable hosts.Waste of money...Disappointed..Just being in Laguna Beach doesn't make it good.To me, the description of a good restaurant is if you like to go back there again regularly or not.And I Will never go back there for sure.
