20 Best Sushi Bars in Newport Beach

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

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

“Great omakase experience, indulged in the various kind of sushi with fish fresh from Japan. The appetizer was like a vintage painting combined by surprising ingredients. The interaction with our chef was priceless and he was both professional and funny. Will come again for sure. Only downside was to look for parking nearby as they don't have parking provided.“

“The lady who always takes my order is a sweet women who reminds me of a wholesome neighbor with her apron on. Literally the best teraki chicken and steak I have ever tasted . The steak is 16$ large but wow worth it. And chicken is 11$large and always juicy and soft with also a sear. The rice is always cooked softly and her teraki sauce is always tasty. They have a bunch of of sushi too but I have yet to try sushi in my life but would give it a try here“

“Came in on may 2nd at 7:pm and was met by such a nice and accommodating staff. They made great recommendations and we enjoyed all of them. Anyone visiting Newport must try! The freshest fish I’ve ever had! I’d have taken a picture of the food but I ate it as soon as I saw it 😂“

“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 !“

“It was absolutely delicious! My family & I love coming to Newport for the beach and wanted to try this out. The service was very nice and the owners were super sweet, it wasn't too packed, we were one of the only ones there that night besides a couple others. The sushi was very fresh and delicious!! Definitely recommend!“

“Jason and Nolan my goats. Kindest most amazing servers out there. Nolan saw our group after we left taking pictures by the pier and told us we forgot a birthday present at the restaurant, skateboarded back and grabbed it for us. Jason too was the best server you could ask for. My goats fr.“

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

“If you are around the Newport Beach and Lido Isle area, this place is an absolute must-visit. Extremely delicious and ultra-fresh seafood!
We tried their tacos and poke burritos, and the quality was top-notch. The atmosphere is very modern and beachy, and sitting outside on their patio by the water is just perfect. It can get pretty busy during peak lunch hours, but it is 100% worth the wait. Highly recommend if you want amazing seafood in a great location!“

“Love the Teriyaki Steak & the Lobster Roll❤️“

“I had such a wonderful experience at this Japanese restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly attentive and made us feel genuinely welcomed.

The food was outstanding! Super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted like it was made with care and high-quality ingredients.

What really stood out was the consistency in both service and food. Everything came out in a timely manner and the team checked in just enough to make sure we were taken care of without feeling rushed.

Overall, it’s a place I would absolutely return to and recommend to anyone looking for a great Japanese dining experience. Truly a gem!“

“We had Jake as our waiter, he was super sweet. Something we ordered came out a little late (it was a really busy night) and he over and beyond to accommodate (even though it wasn't necessary). I will definitely come back, not only because our food was great but because of the service we recieved from our waiter Jake :)“

“Excellent food, great service“

“We had another wonderful dining experience at Starfish Newport! The interior has a beautiful welcoming feeling and we were seated right away. Our server Matt was friendly, professional and very attentive. We tried the signature cocktails and several apps from the extensive menu....everything was delicious! We felt very well cared for throughout the evening. Thanks Starfish Newport!“

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

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

“Had a ln amazing dinner last night at SET. The food was great and the outside ambiance is romantic. Our server Jeffrey was great, he made recommendations for food and was spot on. He was attentive and gave 5 star service. Will definitely be back“

“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.“
