18 Best Sushi Bars in Newport Beach

“One of the best real EDOMAE sushi in area. I was used to be sushi chef.“

“Best !!!! Ask for mikes section“

“I had a really amazing salmon poke bowl here. Fish was really fresh and perfect tenderness. Ingredients were fresh and delicious. Came out quickly although it was a weekday and it wasn’t too busy.

Lots of other options on the menu I wanted to explore so I’ll be back.

Oddly the poke is kind of hard to find on their menu. They have it on a piece of paper next to the register.

Portion looked a little small for what I paid which was over $20. But I was full after eating it and I’m a pretty decently sized guy.

I’ve had worse poke bowls but man. That shrinkflation is squeezing everyone.“

“This was my first Omakase experience and man, I picked a great one. I was quite surprised that I had to take a car ferry to get here, but that was a cool experience. There are no on-site parking but, parking was available nearby and it's free after 6 pm. The food was incredible. They were on point with presentation, delivery, and taste. I highly recommend it and it's pricey! But, worth the price.“

“Well worth the wait! GREAT sushi, service and quality.“

“This place was amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever received such good service in my lifetime at a restaurant! There was one sushi, chef, fair, and he made us feel so special not to mention how fresh the food was. Growing up in New York City, my family us to wonderful restaurants and the best food so we are pretty particular.! I’m so excited that this place just opened in Newport Beach.

Dietary restrictions: I think most restaurants have dietary restrictions if you ask. I actually work in the food, industry, and most people, especially in Southern California are pretty savvy when it comes to food, allergies, and restrictions.“

“This sushi restaurant perched on the pier of Newport Beach’s Lido Peninsula is a must-visit. The waterfront marina views are stunning, especially at sunset, and outdoor seating comes with heaters. The atmosphere is dimly lit and intimate. Reservations are recommended. The sushi was excellent and surprisingly affordable. Service was a bit slow, but maybe understandable with a large group.“

“I got the chicken bento box with green salad, potstickers, and salmon roll, and for 16$ it was amazing. Overall everything in the bento box tasted fresh, especially the sushi rolls! The bento box can definitely be enough food for 2 meal. Will be returning back, staff/owners are very nice.“

“I love this place! We have been coming here for over 4 years! It’s the best sushi in town! We love the chefs and especially Grace !“

“Great spot for a poke bowl. Very private. Tables and floors felt sticky, but the place is otherwise in good shape.The poke bowls are excellent. The teriyaki is good, but prepared with the sauce separate from the protein.Limited sushi options, but well prepared.Very friendly staff.“

“No comments on the service, our waitress was very accommodating and professional.

For food, the Albacore appetizer with the crispy onion topping was an absolute smash hit for the evening, as well as the Crispy Rock roll. They both disappeared faster than I could chew. The sashimi we ordered, in addition to having beautiful plating, was absolutely fresh and delicious. The salmon sashimi in particular just melted on the tongue like butter.

Last but certainly not least, it's not every day that I dine at a Japanese restaurant with a memorable Sake selection. While sake is available at most sushi restaurants these days, after a while you tend to see the same two or three options over and over again. To have an extensive list of various sake options, as well as their house and seasonal sake options was a breath of fresh air.“

“Thank you Matt for an amazing service. Food was great. Atmosphere out of this world. Owner was present and very involved in operations. My favorites were the beef satay and edamame. Blackberry mojito was so good. Gave me nostaljia. Will be back.“

“Love the Teriyaki Steak & the Lobster Roll❤️“

“The vibe and sushi/bento box were fire 🔥 🔥🔥“

“Small place. Reservations recommended. Pricey but fish is fresh and delicious.“

“Absolutely amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ best sushi!“

“The fish was marinated in miso and was very flavourful. Grilled to a crisp and charred for a great meal.“

“Never disappoints! Food is amazing! Always come here for special occasions and holidays. Every server and front desk are so nice and caring. They get the orders right even when it's so loud in there. Please is so clean and put together. Roberto is a great chef and Sheila was a nice server and did great job getting our food orders. Would definitely recommend coming! All locations are amazing but we like the Newport location.“
