“I ate curry pork cutlet, udon, and oyster tempura. It was fresh and delicious and the server was very friendly. In particular, since I have a child, I asked for the curry and pork cutlet to be separated, and I was grateful that my request was listened to.“
“Really cute place, very cozy but not cramped. The server was new but very kind and asked their manager when they didn’t know the answer to something, which is always good. My dad and I got vegan ramens and they were delicious but I wish there was a spicy vegan ramen, too. Brother got the Miso ramen and enjoyed it. The vegan sushis (vegetable tempura and vegetable rolls) were pretty good. I have high standards for vegan sushi thanks to vegan sushi restaurants in the Bay area but for Orange County this is a sushi and ramen place with great vegan options.Vegetarian options: Vegan options (Vegan Ramen, Miso Soup, Fried Tofu, Edamame, Vegetable Tempura Roll, Vegetable Roll).Dietary restrictions: Vegan options (Vegan Ramen, Miso Soup, Fried Tofu, Edamame, Vegetable Tempura Roll, Vegetable Roll).“
“This is some of the best sushi ive ever had just in my life. I would recommend sitting at the bar and just talking woth the head chef hiro is amazing, very funny and entertaining guy. Definitely is a sushi spot i will continue to regular. Atmosphere was delightful always filled with people with fun conversations who are incredibly open, hiro and the other chefs bring the resturant alive with their conversations while serving sushi that will suprise and catch you off gard woth the flavors.“
“Pros:* Delicious Food; The sushi rolls were pretty stunning. I recommend the Bento Box.* Clean inside, relax vibe* Quick serviceCons:* N/AExtra:* Plenty of Parking* The service was questionable at first, but they were quick to help us when we motioned to them. They don't dote on you and are quick to help.“
“Came upon this quaint little sushi place and won the jackpot! The small place filled up very quickly but the service was quick to serve! Fish was fresh and interesting. We loved all of the food we ordered. We will be returning as soon as we can!“
“OMG! the best of the best. The flavors in the Broth is delicious. Tonkotsu is my favorite. Service can improve a bit, but overall can't expect the best because they are busy- and so worth it. I like the ambiance, chill and they have a good peach beer, ha!“
“I always recommend Yamame! The yaki soba and the rolls are amazing. The omakase menu is my personal favorite. The salmon belly and black cod sushi are my favorites. The presentation and quality of the omakase always impress me. The service is prompt and friendly and they go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Thank you Yamame family!“
“I have been to my fair share of Ramen restaurants, and I must say this one takes the cake for being the most aesthetically pleasing. It gives a vibe to the decor, from the bowls to the vase water, and even the chopsticks are mood.As for the food, I ordered a classic California sushi roll, which was excellent, along with their House Ramen bowl, which was fantastic. It had bok choy, egg, and pork. The pork was all tender and just delicious. Sometimes, when you go to restaurants for Ramen noodles, you’ll get a hit or miss, but I will say for this restaurant, there was no hit or miss; the Ramen noodle was just perfection.As for the drink, I ordered the Galaxy, which is butterfly peas, strawberry, lemonade, and mango jelly, and I think something else, but I cannot remember it was great. It was excellent.The service was good.I would say spending a moderate amount of money here for this restaurant, especially given the area it's in.Overall, 10 out of 10.“
“The food is quite good and seems really fresh. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The only problem we encountered was getting our mixed vegetables way before our entrees arrived. They would have been much warmer arriving with the main meal. Otherwise, all was good.“
“Top notch Sushi! I've been coming here since they opened and I'm in love with this place. First, Chef Masa is the nicest most friendly Chef there is, and all his staff are friendly and spot on with water refills and quick service. The fish he gets is some of the freshest and best quality out there. For cooked food Try the salmon collar. It's the melt in your mouth part of the salmons neck and cheek, and prepared expertly! Everything I've had, from the fresh oysters, the halibut carpaccio, the Takowasa, and Takoyaki, they spicy yellow tail lover roll and al the sashimi- has been perfect. Can't recommend enough !“
“Ate here per a passing suggestion from someone. We arrived shortly after opening, so getting a seat was easy. If I spoke Japanese then I would be able to order in Japanese. The menu is a good size. I had jidori chicken udon. I've never had udon before, but the dish was great, and the broth was clean without being oversoaked with grease. For the price, I wish there was more chicken. I asked for warm water (instead of hot), but I got cold (instead of icy) instead. Otherwise friendly and brightly lit place to eat some good and simple food.Parking: huge lot, impossible to not find parking“
“Yoshi was our server, and she was extremely nice to our large party that consisted of a bunch of wild kids. This past Friday night. The food was excellent. Enjoyed the sunset. Next time, Yoshi needs to have some saki with us. We'll be back!“
“The music and environment was chill. My group went on a Wednesday evening so it was not slammed.They have an all you can eat option but my girlfriend and I filled up on the shared ribeye option with spicy miso tonkatsu. It's a pricier option which adds up to about 50 per person including the sake.Our server was Gabby and she was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu!“
“This place is really really good. A hidden gem. The yellowtail carpaccio is YUM! So many delicious rolls and unique additions. Cucumber/seaweed salad=love. The freshness is soso good. The service is spot on. If you are not there before 5 be prepared to wait.“
“I went there the other day for the first time and had some sushi. It was probably one of the best sushi places in Laguna Niguel. It was very delicious. I ordered the dragon sushi, baked scallop and baked salmon. The service was fast. I highly recommend this location. I will definitely go back.“
“I did take out on a Wednesday night. I called ahead and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrived 20 minutes later. There were a few people waiting outside which was a good sign that this was a good place to eat. The dining room looked full. My food was ready along with several others in the rack. I can't really say much about the service here as I only did take out. The food however was great! The curry chicken tonkatsu was crispy and big. I liked the pickled radish. The price was good. The cheese tonkatsu was also very good. It tastes really good hot and fresh. Unfortunately since I did take out, it lost its warmth. I would recommend reheating it in an air fryer if you takeout for home. This place is great and I would definitely come back again.“
“I stumbled across this place and am I glad I did!! Amazing sushi! Really fresh fish. I ordered takeout and they were early with my order and the owner even added additional sushi for free as a nice gesture. The owners seem very sweet and the place was very clean. As I just picked up, I don’t really have a comment about the ambiance but it is definitely a casual spot. They have great deals and amazing sushi. I will be back!“
“Went for a lunch date with my son. It's a small place and the sushi is amazing. It's was so good. The specialty rolls are amazing. My son has an allergy to shrimp and they overheard us and offerd to make the roll we were looking at with no shrimp. We will definitely be back.“
“Visited this place during the weekday for dinner. It was super crowded and had a lively ambience. The food service is quick and the food is amazing. They also have sushi bar which you can sit on if you like to watch the chefs making sushi.They do not have a lot of vegetarian options. We ordered Tofu with rice, avocado sushi roll and mango lady sushi roll. The food was delicious. The waiter was not able to understand English and so had to run back a couple of times to make sure the request was correctly entered.Overall we had a great experience and will surely visit again.Vegetarian options: Not a lot of vegetarian options. They do have 5 sushi rolls which are vegetarian and a couple of other dishes. That's it.“
“This by far the best Poke bowl restaurant in SoCal! The food is always fresh and the staff is really polite and helpful if you want to try something new. It's always clean and has simple and mellow atmosphere. You won't find a better selection and service any where else!Parking: Underground parking is free when they stamp your ticket. Always space to park.“
“Fantastic restaurant. The Orion beer, the white corn, the peanut tofu, and the carpaccio are the highlights. The takoyaki, sukiyaki, and ramen were also great. Lots of new flavors. Very friendly.Dietary restrictions: Okinawan cuisine focuses on pork.Parking: Plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: It’s a very small restaurant. I wouldn’t bring kids here.“
“This is our family's weeknight sushi place. We bring the kids who absolutely demolish the crunchy rolls. My favorite is the yellow tail buffalo roll. The fish is always delicious and the service is always great. They take extra care of our kiddos. The Yoshi rolls are a personal favorite too. The price is fair too!“
“We absolutely LOVE Sashimi. The sushi is always so fresh and SO DELICIOUS. The best I’ve ever had. We are greeted like family and treated like royalty every time we go in. Steve always remembers us and our preferences. I can’t say enough positive wonderful things about the beautiful, kind, talented people that work at sashimi. We are in love!“
“I am a huge fan. Their menu has good variety- covers everything from meat to seafood to veggies. Their prices are reasonable and portions are great too. Their staff are always super sweet, quick, and helpful.My recommendations are the salmon pepper rice, teriyaki salmon, and chicken karaage with sizzling curry. The strawberry dragonfruit drink is my absolute fave too!!“
“Very quaint place, delicious food. I had their signature roll, it was very different, I enjoyed it. My husband and son got the udon noodles, and my daughter a chicken bowl. We also ordered stem dumplings, amazing! ? I think we just found our sushi “
“Older but clean place. Service is so so, but I think it's because they don't have a lot of staff (and I always go right when it opens and it's a mad rush at 5pm).But to the most important part. Their sushi is very, very good. Not fancy, but these Japanese sushi chefs always present you with very fresh and good quality sushi.“
“Sushi Yaki has been my go-to spot for a quick dinner after long, difficult work days. I work nearby and I'm so grateful I can simply walk over. There's nothing more comforting than having a nice meal in a humble, dependable shop like this.Props to the older couple running the place because I've never had a negative experience. The food is consistently good and the service is reliable.“
“I've been here twice now for the AYCE and they have not let me down at all! Incredibly fresh and flavorful. Service has been great. Value is great. Get there before they open to add your name on the waitlist, this place is popular and fills up quick! Great place to hang out outside while you wait for them to open or for your table to be ready. Been here with a friend and my sister and they both agree this place rocks“
“First time here. I had the chicken curry, it was very good.Note to the owner. You should consider changing the name. I have driven by many times, but I always thought it was a nail salon spa type of place. My wife actually figured out it is a sushi place.“
“Came in for a quick poke bowl on my way to tour some homes in Mission Viejo. Staff was friendly and helpful. The poke quality was good and the available toppings were good.Avocado was extra but a must. Free miso soup.I will definitely come back when I’m in the area.“
“This is a wonderful place to enjoy healthy food. You can choose from bowls, plates, combos, rolls, sushi and rolls, udon, and yaki udon, salads, or sides. The portions here are quite generous, the rolls are fresh, and the meat is tender.If you want to try authentic udon with noodles, make sure to order the yaki udon.The service is very pleasant, and they will always recommend something to your taste. The menu is extensive, so you'll definitely find something to your liking here.“
“The best sushi spot I have ever been to. That includes Japan, New York, California, Hawaii. This place is an absolute treat. It's also the epitome of don't judge a book by its cover. To some of the lower rating reviews, you have to understand how this place works and how special every single course is to appreciate it and then you'll get why they can't sit you right away or provide you takeout right away. The owners are the best and every single ingredient is top notch. I have been coming for years and can't ever get enough. It's a relaxing place with a very warm and comforting energy.“
“Poke Tiki in Laguna Niguel, CA Yay we found a yummy poke spot right by our place this weekend. We came here for lunch and it didn't disappoint. There were endless options for everything from bases to proteins to toppings and sauces! We'll definitely be back! There are multiple locations: San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Rancho Santa Margarita, Irvine, Tustin, Orange, Costa Mesa.“
“Excellent fish! If looking for crazy rolls with lots of sauces this is not your place. If you just want excellent fish you're in the right place. Only a handful of tables and seats at the sushi bar so reservations are suggested.Parking: Tons of parking.“
“We have been coming to sushi bear since it opened for years now and not sure if there's been a change in ownership last few years but quality continually slides down with the taste and menu options have shifted from unique to basic. Kind of disappointed with our last visit, but the staff was nice. If you're a basic rolls kind of customer then this is the place.“
“After visiting dana point caves, I was craving for a poke, so we did a spontaneous poke run at this mom & pop shop in san juan capistrano which ended up being rly nice :) restaurant was located in a very quiet area so we were the only patrons (aka introvert heaven). We ordered the large which comes with 5 proteins, with an extra scoop of spicy tuna bc didn't realize the first scoop would be mixed in the poke haha. I love how avocados are included in all the toppings and not counted as "extra" lol I'm used to being very extra so it was nice not having to be. Everything tasted fresh and service was warm & friendly. So glad we made the visit on our way back home!“
“We walked in and got seated immediately. We enjoyed all our food. The calamari was notably crispy and light and perfectly salted. The Gu Fries was cheesey and had a complimenting soy glaze the complimented the saltiness of our ramens. The service was unhurried and efficient. The vibe of the space was consistent with the theme. I tried their mandarin sorbet and it was disappointing but still a good pallet cleanser. We really enjoyed our dinner there. This continues to be our annual stop in Laguna for a late ramen.“
“Delicious and experience, definitely worth going in a group so you can try a few different cuts of meat. We tried the spicy miso and pork bone broth with a perfect mix of flavor and spicy.I personally love being able to try small portions of a lot of different things, so this was perfect. Wygu beef, aged Angus and short rib - delicious“
“This sushi is sooooo fresh. Daily fish deliveries. The sushi chefs have created amazing yet traditional sushi sublely dressed to perfection. I don't dare dip these in wasabi soy for fear of masking the flavor perfection. Most memorable on this visit was Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper). My Japanese-born girlfriend loves this place, enjoys her conversation with the sushi chef, and happily declares this is not "California Sushi"“
“Very friendly owner and staff, their costumer service is very good! The food is fresh and amazing, these new owners made the best changes and the food is unbelievable! I highly recommend this restaurant and make sure to try the popcorn roll!!! ?Parking: It’s free and easyKid-friendliness: It’s a very kid and family friendly restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s wheelchair friendly.“
“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.RECOMMENDParking: 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.“
“Lovely place. You can tell a lot of locals come for a good reason. The sushi is a very good quality, fresh. The Miso Soup is the best I've had in my life.The service was perfect. The ambience is fine it needs some upgrades but I'm fine with it. Good prices.All in all a good recommend.“
“First time at the restaurant. Did not know what to expect. Looked at the menu and was rather pleasantly surprised at the robust selection. Tried the Tonkatsu Miso ramen and it was delicious. My wife had the Salmon Bento box and was pleasantly surprised. And my kids loved the Macarons for dessert. Would highly recommend and will come back again“
“I visit O Sushi about one time per week over the past 2 years. It is close to my home so it has become my favorite neighborhood restaurant. I've been to many Sushi spots. This one is by far the very best I've ever been but with a price tag that's super casual. I love this place, the sushi chefs are amazing, the wait staff are on point and friendly. My only slight complaint is they do not have a full bar, just beer and wine and of course saki. Super great spot!! Mike“
“My culinary journey led me to Khan Sushi, and what a delightful surprise it turned out to be! Under the new ownership, this unassuming spot in South Orange County has become my go-to sushi haven.Why Khan Sushi Stands Out:1. Freshness Beyond Compare: The fish here is a revelation. Each bite transports you to the ocean—vibrant, succulent, and bursting with flavor. It’s evident that quality is their top priority.2. Sushi Mastery: Tim, the chef, is a true artist. His precision and passion shine through every roll. Whether it’s a classic California roll or an inventive specialty, each piece is crafted with care.3. Unbeatable Variety: Khan Sushi trumps all other sushi joints in the area. From sashimi to creative maki rolls, their menu covers the spectrum. Vegetarians and seafood lovers alike will find something to rave about.4. Tim’s Personal Touch: Tim isn’t just a chef; he’s a host. He greets regulars by name, remembers their preferences, and ensures every meal is flawless. His dedication to customer satisfaction is commendable.5. Consistency: I’ve been a loyal patron for 6 months, and not once have I been disappointed. Every visit is a symphony of flavors—a perfect harmony of taste and texture.In summary, Khan Sushi is more than a restaurant; it’s an experience. If you’re seeking fresh, expertly prepared sushi in South Orange County, look no further. Tim and his team have perfected the art of sushi, one roll at a time.Thank you, Khan Sushi, for consistently delivering perfection on a plate! ???“
“Samurai sushi is a gem of a restaurant in South OC! The owner Gina is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. So accommodating! The food is fantastic, and they have had the same chefs for years, so very consistent as well. Great selection, good prices. Buy one get one half off M-Th is such a deal. See you again soon my favorite sushi joint!!“
“First time trying this sushi place and let me tell you...... if you haven't been, you're losing out. From the Japanese greeting to the cozy atmosphere and most importantly the sushi. The delicious fresh sushi was beautifully presented with attention to detail. The service was attentive and with a smile. What a treat! We will be back.“
“This restaurant serves really good and unique california rolls and sushi in a setting thats hard to beat. Sitting on the partio, overlooking Lake Mission Viejo, its easy to let the day recede into the background. And the draft, cold Asahi beer helps as well.This restaurant, hidden at the back of a small shopping center off Margeurite Parkway has been around a long time. It has survived on good food and a reasonable price and the word of mouth of its fans.We are particular fans of the Baked Langosti roll. It is a delightful merge of flavers and tender lagosti that is just the perfect combination of everything. While we had been away for 7 years and a pandemic, we were delighed to find it still on the menu.Truthfully, the restaurant is a bit old and tired, but the food still seems fresh and it just delights. We had lived just blocks from it and not tried it. It is in the elbow of the center, and the graphics on the windows are a bit off-putting, but oh once we tried it, we were regulars.We found the waitstaff to be friendly and efficient. They can suggest something if you are unsure of what to eat. They recommended the Green Tea Ice Cream to us, and wow were we delighted.On a nice evening you can watch the sail boat races on the lake from the large patio as a extra added attraction. Try it.“
“By far the best sushi in OC if not all of SoCal. You can spend alot more going to other "high end" sushi spots. The quality of fish at Jizake is on par with the best of the best - same goes for the skill of chefs they are on par with the best of the best.BTW in the pic we loaded the blue fin up with Kizami, chef didnt serve it like that (for all concerned sushi aficionados).Only recommendation to Jizake is please bring back Karatamba!“
“A HIDDEN GEM LIKE NO OTHER!!Very reasonable prices, DELICIOUS and AUTHENTIC food, FAST service.A complaint i Will address for the owner is about the business and its operation… i have worked in food industry and i frequently travel to find the best food joints.. so i say this as advice more so than complaint.. CUT THE MENU IN HALF. Focus on all the best sold items. Cost of goods is too high today to be offering 50 items on a menu. Sushi IS LITERALLY THE BEST IN TOWN. Focus on that and cater to the newer crowds available in the area. This business is so successful!Vegetarian options: Vegetable yakisoba was super yummy!“
