19 Best Japanese Restaurants in Tustin

“Service is wonderful. Everyone is friendly. It’s like going to my Obason’s to have dinner. Everything about this place is authentically Okinawan. Oishī“

“Visited this restaurant for lunch omakase.
Gorgeous and classy interior with upscale, tasteful dining wares. With only 10 bar seats (no tables), the space feels exclusive and intimate.

The food was close to perfection. Each course was paced a bit faster than I would’ve liked, and I wasn’t a huge fan of the toro and pickled radish combo toward the end of the 7-sushi course—the radish was a bit too overpowering and masked the flavor of the toro.

Loved the dessert: shiso sorbet!

Overall, I rate this restaurant 4.5/5 — highly recommend. Their lunch omakase is very reasonably priced.“

“I recently visited Curry Do and tried the Chicken Katsu Curry — it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was cooked perfectly: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and everything tasted fresh and full of flavor.

The service was just as impressive. Nori and Vanessa were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. It’s always nice when great food is matched by equally great service.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving quality Japanese curry. We drove out from Riverside and will be back, definitely worth the drive!“

“Outstanding freshness of their fish and great service 😀“

“Sake2me Sushi is a hidden gem! The premium sashimi and sushi were incredibly fresh and melted in my mouth—top quality all around. The grilled squid was also a standout: tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Great service, chill atmosphere, and generous portions make this spot a must-visit for sushi lovers. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Amazing quality fish with freshness you can taste and feel in every bite. One of the best sushi in Irvine that you can find.
The tuna hand roll was so delicious.
I am a big fan of unagi and the quality is that which you would find in Japan, very tender and delicious.
The atmosphere is very dark modern soothing which feels very classy, absolutely a great date night idea.
Staff were very attentive and service was fast. Highly recommend this restaurant for sushi lovers.
Wasabi is very fresh as well.“

“The sushi here and the quality and flavor of all the ingredients is exceptional. Particularly have always been incredibly impressed by the freshness of the fish itself. The food the service, all come together to make this an absolutely exceptional place to have dinner and fantastic night out!
One thing they could improve on a bit is the ambience, it leaves a bit to be desired, they could freshen up the interior a bit and make this place a more popular date-night destination. But the atmosphere/ambience in no way detracts from the overall experience, the fantastic food and wonderful service makes this a place one of the best restaurants I highly recommend to everyone!“

“The beef/chicken veggie bowl is so good and perfect portion. They make their own teriyaki sauce; it's delicious! It's often crowded during lunch, but service is so fast. Their food is way better compared to Flame Broiler and the likes.“

“Really nice place with some yummy food! Especially the avocado volcano!!“

“I really like the place and the food.
The owner has a great attitude.
The music in the restaurant and the atmosphere was nice.
The food tastes very good.
The price was also very good.
I’m very picky about restaurants and food, but this place got my five star.
Another thing to add is that they use paper plates for to-go orders and not plastic plates. This is huge thumbs up 👍.“

“My favorite sushi spot! Every time I've been in, I've had a great time, from great caring servers, to high quality fish, to delicately built plates. Hard to go wrong here. The fish can be a little pricey at times (since they're all market rate), but they do offer high quality options like chu toro, king salmon, and bluefin tuna. Good portion sizes too, whether rolls, sashimi, or other plates. Definitely check this spot out if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed.“

“Cream Pan Bakery in Tustin offers an impressive selection of fresh bakery items and light meals. Their menu includes a range of sandwiches such as katsu, along with sushi rolls and other Japanese-inspired dishes. Service is consistently quick, prices are reasonable, and the outdoor patio adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Ample parking makes it convenient, though weekend lines can be quite long — a testament to their popularity.“

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

“완전 best 최고👍“

“One of the best AYCE sushi spots in OC! The fish is always fresh, rolls are flavorful, and the portions are generous. Favorites are the garlic edamame, baked mussels, and their specialty rolls.

Service is quick and friendly, and for the price, the AYCE deal is hard to beat. Always leave full and happy—definitely my go-to sushi spot in Tustin!“
