50 Best Sushi Bars near Laguna Hills

“Good food and friendly service“

“This is a great, unexpected treat in a strip mall in Laguna Hills. Some of the best sushi I have had in quite some time. We ordered omakse and each dish was better than the last. The service was prompt and polite. Small store front and not much in terms of atmosphere, but that is an easy trade off for the great food!“

“Delicious ramen , broth was amazing . Sushi rolls very fresh and creative, looking forward to trying more things !“

“Their Omakase is one of the best.“

“It was so delicious that I ate all the sashimi and sushi before I could even take a picture. I was very surprised by the exceptional freshness, overwhelming taste, and reasonable price.
The staff is friendly and kind. This is a restaurant I frequent.“

“The food is amazing!!! Knee is the best waitress ever👏👏👏👏🥰🥰“

“Our go to Sushi 🍣 restaurant. Best in town, small, but great friendly, service oriented staff.“

“Fresh fish expertly prepared by friendly chef with equally cheerful service staff! We will be back“

“Beautiful experience here at Good Choice! This is a no-frills sushi joint, perfect if you prefer flip flops & hoodie vibes over stuffy McStuffertons. The staff is joyful and fun, creating extraordinary moments. I'd come back in a heartbeat.“

“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.“

“FRESH POKE. GREAT SERVICE. CLEAN AMBIANCE. SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF.

FRESH SALMON AND TUNA!!!

AMAZING QUALITY. THEIR BOWLS ARE DELICIOUS. THE AMBIENCE IS PERFECT. A++++++

RANDY WAS SO HELPFUL. JONATHAN GAVE THE BEST VIBES.“

“Oooommmggggg!! I can't believe I didn't know about this hidden gem!! The sushi quality is amazing, the prices are super affordable and the service was great. Lots of parking, no wait time and friendly staff. This is definitely a new favorite place that I will be visiting frequently!!! A+++“

“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!!“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food is good, pricing is fair, most of the wait-staff is friendly with the exception of the male host at the front who handles phone orders. His customer service is lacking extremely, so much so, I would think twice about ordering take-out from here“

“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!“

“As far as sushi spots go. This is worth driving to. It has a friendly vibe and is never very busy. They have a great selection of all kinds of sushi. Whether you like cooked, baked, raw, traditional, tempura, whatever. It's all very good. I almost always get pick up from here and when I walk in the chefs always greet you. This place is also very clean.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“BigParm is an excellent source stop. great tasting pizza plus more!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best Sushi ever, have been there 4 times in two weeks of vacation with friends and family. Great & friendly staff, too!“

“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.“

“The best omakase ever! Please open up your restaurant. Dont be afraid. It's your right as an American. I want Sushi. No take-out.“

“Great Sushi and lots of fun.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Chef Scot is very creative and great sushi and great stuff! I highly recommend to go there!“

“We ate dinner here last night. Probably the best sushi we’ve ever had. The staff was great as well.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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?!“

“first time here, food was terrific. We ordered from the sushi menu which was fantastic, but we could see all the other food go by like burgers, tacos and salads and all of it looked delicious. Service was also excellent, our sushi came very quickly, the ambience was world class, we had a terrific table overlooking the ocean. Excellent excellent experience. Will be going again.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“
