The sushi chef prepares all the different types of sushi in front of guests, showcasing his skills and techniques. The sushi is fresh, flavorful, and melts in the mouth, especially the toro and salmon. Prices are reasonable, with around nine courses costing about $40, making it a great and affordable omakase experience in Orange County.
