26 Best Japanese Restaurants in Orange

“Enjoyed my dining in I Luv Sushi too!“

“Daoni Sushi is hands down one of the best sushi spots in Orange, CA! We frequent this restaurant often and the friendly staff/owners always make us feel right at home. The place doesn't look fancy, but the fish is always fresh with delicious options at reasonable prices. Our favorites include the spicy hotate and the Salmon Lover roll (buttery and flavorful).

If you're craving high-quality sushi without the hype or high costs, Daoni is a must-try.“

“Love this place. Prefer to sit at the bar“

“Fantasic staff! They are always so friendly and helpful! They always remember us when we come in. The shabu is fantastic. The broth selections are wonderful and you can mix and match! Produce is fresh, lots of beers on tap. Only critisism is I wish they would change their chairs, they aren’t comfortable; the food is so good though it’s worth being uncomfortable!“

“Service was amazing! The waitress was so nice and reminded us about the deal when we were so close to it, thank you. And the food was really good for the price. Honestly, didn't have much expectations but it was really good for such a small place.“

“First time Great food and exceptional service“

“Oh man where to begin! This place is a hidden gem that I was recently taken to. Ever since going my first time about a month ago, I’ve been back 5 times! The bluefin nigiri is probably the best nigiri I’ve had in Orange County (The bluefin keeps us coming back week after week). If I were to recommend anything, it would have to be the bluefin. The yellowtail and salmon nigiri are just as amazing. You can’t go wrong with anything here—the fish is incredibly fresh and flavorful, and each roll and nigiri is so unique in its own way and flavor profile. They are also incredibly generous with portion size and price! We love sitting at the bar because it makes the experience so much better!

Apart from the food, what also keeps me keeping back is the amazing hospitality and service! Whenever we walk in, we are greeted by the entire staff—the sushi chefs, hosts, and servers. The staff take great pride in ensuring that guests are taken care of, and they genuinely enjoy getting to know their guests on a personal and grounded level. A special mention to Torrance, Jay, and Robbin (The sushi chefs) who consistently put out amazing nigiri and rolls for us! Another mention to Debbie and Diana, who are so incredibly warm, friendly, and hospitable—providing the best service in town!“

“Out of every single sushi I have tried, not a single one fails to disappoint me. Their crab meat is the best and it does not get better than theirs. Such low prices for VERY high quality and savory foods. Their poki bowls are the best too. Hot warm rice mixed with fresh cold seafood goes perfect with any weather. Especially when it is so savory and refreshing. The prices are shocking for how high quality their food is. Regarding prices, this place has the best seafood out of every single seafood place I have tried in all of Orange and in general. The variety of food is good, the small place is cute, I love the decorations, they are welcoming and their lighting is pretty, it is cozy. The people are always so kind when taking your order. When there is no one, your food comes quickly, very fast for the amount of workers.“

“Great omakase! I finally got to try this place out after having it on my list for a while. We got the 13 piece omakase course ($125). Because we are not at the bar all the nigiri came out at the same time. Whats great about this place is you can see what fish you will be getting. There's also option for 7 and 10 piece omakase as well, so pick your course. We also got the cherry salmon cheeks which was amazing. The skin was nice and crispy and you can taste the grill. Besides omakase, you can also order the nigiris individually. Will definitely come back here again!“

“THE EMPLOYEE'S here are fantastic and ALWAYS WELCOME YOU IN.FOOD IS FRESH and ALWAYS ON POINT..Never a dirty look when you ask for more teriyaki sauce,hot souce,napkins or anything else..THEY GOT A LOYAL CUSTOMER WITH ME..
PLEASE KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC SERVICE AND THE GREAT FOOD...“

“I started coming here almost 20 years ago and I'm so glad they are still here! Both their beef and chicken are good, but I do prefer their beef. The taste and smell of it is very nostalgic. Their sushi is also good value, so there's something for everyone here.“

“Been going to Mika sushi for 3 years now! Friendly and chill environment :) always greeting me with a smile ! Also checks in on customers and asks how the food is, over all everything I’ve tried is amazing ! Thank you Mika for having me and enjoying all the foods.“

“Love this location! All staff have been great so far and their work environment seems close and fun and it shows everytime I stop by. Alma in particular started making me laugh because she knows my tempura shrimp order i always get. I couldn't believe I am already known at this yoshinoya since I was well known at my hometown yoshinoya in Huntington Park haha so feeling a little welcomed in the oc haha although I have a closer location to me by fullerton I always come to tgis because of the staff and because they accept ebt haha“

“My cousins brought me here to celebrate my 25th birthday. I love shabu, and I have yet to try this spot out.

Parking: They're located in a medium sized plaza, and there's plenty of free parking.

Ambiance/Environment: It's very clean inside. There's a decent amount of seating. We visited on a Thursday night, so it wasn't too busy.

Service: Our server was efficient. We didn't catch her name, but she was knowledgable about the menu when we asked questions. Throughput was under 15 min after ordering. After receiving our orders, our server checked on us a couple times.

Soup & meats: My bf and I ordered the 'specials for 2' and went with the shared brisket set. The soup was decent; wasn't too salty. My favorite part were the briskets. It came with a generous amount of briskets. The toppings were also fresh. This special included beers and desserts.“

“The food was AMAZING and the service here is the best. It was my first time today and me and my mom loved it. When you walk In there is already some one setting up your table. When you order the food comes in less then 5 minutes. The price is the best you can get. I got to plates of cail roll and green green beans ONLY for $25.36. I love this place and I would definitely would recommend this to a suish lover. The works are fast super nice and have a smile on there face all the time.“

“Delicious food and great service. The appetizer, we order garlic edamame and the salmon fried rice cake with the mango sauce, tuna carpaccio, the roll with baby scallops and one with lemon on top… and I gonna tell you, was everything 10/10, fresh with a lot of flavor! Gonna come back for sure!“

“Been coming here for 22 years. Still our favorite sushi place by far ❣️“

“This is my absolute favorite sushi place, I go here whenever I have the funds. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is homely, but more importantly the food is DELICIOUS!!! ESPECIALLY the Baked Salmon Roll! 1000/10 I would definitely recommend this place“

“I have never had a bad experience at Suki Hanna, all their staff is amazing and very welcoming and their meals are always so delicious! I recently tried their Teriyaki chicken fries and they were Incredible, I 100% recommend that to everyone looking for something with big portions for a great price!“

“The chicken gyoza are delicous! I wanted to try some for me and then I went back for some more for the table! The food, service, and atmosphere are all 5-stars! This restaurant is located in the food court, so there is plenty of seating throughout the food court, although the closest tables to the restaurant are the most preferred. Check this out!“

“Overall solid value for the price and although the sauces lacked flavor I will say the beef was smoky and tasty! The spicy pork wasn’t bad, I felt the plate portions were ok for the price. If the sauces got a bit better flavor and less vinegary for the spicy one I would’ve been more pleased. But it’s a great atmosphere and awesome friendly service. Easy to do for a quick lunch!“

“I've been to this sushi bar a few times, they never disappoint. I like that they have plenty of options with no crab meat, and I like their yellowtail rolls. The amount of fish in the rolls is generous, and the size of a portion is big. The second set of the rolls is 50% off before 3 pm (not sure if that works everyday or just weekends)“

“Amazingly good with the sauces, the chicken breast they used for the chicken bowl was huge saw them put it on the grill. They do change up their specials, it used to come with a drink too, but now I understand the drink is now not priced in the special.Thumbs up portion for $14.99 for chicken bowl and drink, big portion don’t miss out.“

“The best sushi in a 30 mile range. We've been hunting for a place to replace this for us but nothing comes close. The food is phenomenal, just the right levels of flavor and spice and clearly crafted lovingly by an artist. Seems to be a small family owned restaurant and the cashier is friendly after a few visits.“

“cleanest sushi we have ever eaten I will totally recomend this place 💯💯“

“Service was friendly and quick, and i got food.“
