    OC restaurant week appetizer set
    Michael Y.

    Nice sushi spot in Newport Coast. They have a delicious set menu for OC restaurant week. Lots of food and great flavors. Would be a good spot to return when in the area.

    Have not been to Bluefin for a while but a girlfriend chose this for a lunch date due to its location in Crystal Cove. I was pleasantly impressed by the lunch omakase. Nice appetizer plate with 4 items, soup, sushi platter, and a dessert platter. The restaurant was cozy and intimate, located inside the Crystal Cove Shopping plaza.

    The food quality was absolutely excellent! The drinks were delicious. The service wasn't outstanding but there isn't anything I can complain about. The restaurant, including the bathroom, were clean.

    Lots of parking! The sake selection was great also. Service was friendly. The Nigiri at the chefs counter was some of the best I've had. We sat at the sushi counter which is what I like and got to watch the care and attention the chefs put into what they do!

    Tried this sushi spot in Newport Beach while shopping. We tried the albacore, salmon and tuna and all were very fresh. The service was great. We loved the wine pairing. Casual ambience. Suitable for lunch or a date night.

    Had a relaxed lunch at this great location with great food! Sushi and Sashimi were both very fresh and tasty. The desert was a true surprise! We will come back!

    Hadn't been here for awhile but recently came for dinner and it pleasantly surprised me. Got a sushi special/ omakase and it was delicious. Everything was very fresh! Pacing was good, not rushed but not long waits between bites. Service was great but we were also the only ones in the restaurant (came around 8/830 on a weekday),

    Lovely sushi restaurant located in the Newport Coast shopping center. Lovely setting very accommodating staff, great service delicious high-quality sushi. The lychee martini was especially delicious.. full bar. Delightful, it gets crowded so come early !

    Small but well decor joint. Service is great & attentive. We sat outside instead of inside since it was a nice sunny evening. The foods are good, fresh and tasty. Prices can be on the low high end...especially due to location. It's also very close to the ocean and in a shopping center so plenty of parking.

    I love it

    The sunset view from this restaurant is beautiful, and enjoying sushi while looking at such a scenery is absolutely wonderful. The omakase course is highly recommended. You will surely be impressed not only by the taste but also by the beautiful presentation.

    While browsing through OC week, I stumbled upon this gem in Newport Beach called Bluefin. We were hoping to get the OC week menu, but it was only available for dinner. However, I spotted a lunch omakase for $60 each, plus tax and tip. It looked pretty similar to the OC week menu, but with a slight price bump which was still worth it. We started with an appetizer platter (had shrimp, tofu, crab tempura) then moved on to crudo, nigiri platter (with uni and toro), clam miso soup, Chilean sea bass, and concluded with an apple with ice cream dessert. Overall, the food was delicious, and the fish was fresh. We were pretty full after all that. The chef was friendly, but service could be better. Overall will definitely recommend trying and will be back!

    Best sushi restaurant in Newport Beach period. We came here for OC Restaurant week and it was amazing! All the dishes were fresh and the perfect temperature and delicious. If you are ever in Newport Coast and craving sushi then this is the place. Happy Yelping!

    Sarah P.

    Bluefin was so good. I've been wanting to check it out and it was worth going. My friend and I both got the omakase and I got the lychee margarita. The drink was delicious and my friend also enjoyed her drink. The omakase was so good. There was so much thought and preparation into each dish. Every dish that was presented was fantastic and need I say more about the taste. The flavors of all the dishes were AMAZING. The restaurant isn't too big so I would recommend making reservations. This plaza can get very packed because it's very close to Newport. This restaurant is worth checking out!!

What we had was perfect for two people, but if we had more vegetarians in our group, it would be nice to have more variety instead of ordering multiples of the same rolls.

It was the perfect amount of food. We left satisfied without feeling overly stuffed. The restaurant is small, but it didn't feel crowded. It was packed on a Sunday evening, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. The service was great. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and checked on us several times throughout the meal. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Yuzu to my friends and family, and we'll definitely be back soon!

Not a traditional sushi spot but I did enjoy the flavors and twist on things. The yellowtail carpaccio was good - light refreshing and a touch of spice Poke nachos - definitely not something I would normally order but it was fun and flavorful. A little too saucey for me Nigiri's are fresh and I enjoyed the salmon truffle. The rolls are loaded with different ingredients and garnishes. Pretty yummy too but a little pricey for the rolls

    Came here for a late lunch with the family…read more This is what we ordered: 1. Hot udon w/ sansai topping and Oyako don (chicken & egg w/rice) 2. Cold udon w/ sansai topping and albacore roll 3. Hot udon w/ sansai topping and California roll 4. Cold udon with tanuki topping and Oyako don What a deal! Enough food for 2 meals. Food was flavorful, balanced, and delicious. Next time I'll have to try the nasumiso - grilled eggplant with miso flavor. Note: Limited indoor seating. There are a few outdoor patio tables with umbrellas.

    Disappointing return to Fukada…read more We used to come all the time for their lunch combos and nabeyaki udon. Even during the pandemic, we ordered take-outs regularly. It's been a few years since our last visit because we moved away, and we were looking forward to today's visit...total let down. No more restaurant dining. All take outs only and in disposable bowls/containers. You can sit inside or outside. I understand during the pandemic why this was necessary but should be fine to return to normal operation at this point. So much garbage created with all the one-time-use stuff. Most people opt to dine in so makes no sense to have so much trash. And the indoor table was sticky. I know this is now a take out only place so diners have to clear their own plates... but we were the first group sitting down at our table when the restaurant opened...shouldn't the tables be cleaned initially before starting the day's operation? The biggest letdown...food. For a place that used to pride itself in freshly made udon and soba, these two dishes were terribly average. They might have used diluted soba tsuyu for the dipping sauce...it is not the full flavored version but tasted rather watered down in order the fill the larger takeout cup. The soup for nabeyaki also tasted bland, not as flavorful as their old broth. I think I could make a better broth using udon powder packets from grocery store. The rice dishes like katsu-don and prime beef steak were ok. Now the beloved Fukada feels like a generic food court stall. Of course it's still popular but the food is not the same.

Everything about this place, from the ambiance and service to the food, is consistently exceptional. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, creating the perfect atmosphere for date nights, celebrations, business dinners, or simply gathering with family and friends. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and the servers are some of the most knowledgeable and well-trained I've experienced. They know the menu inside and out and always make fantastic recommendations. I celebrated my birthday here last year with 15 of my girlfriends, and the events team was impeccable. They worked seamlessly with my vendors, coordinating the delivery of candles and balloons, and had my table beautifully set up when we arrived. They truly helped make the evening feel effortless and memorable. As for the food, the seafood tower is an absolute must, and their steaks are consistently cooked to perfection. Their wine program is outstanding, and I especially love that they carry one of my favorite wineries, Darioush. It's always a treat to enjoy a great bottle alongside an incredible meal. I continue to come back for birthdays, celebrations, family dinners, and evenings out with friends because Mastro's never disappoints. It's become one of those special places where lasting memories are made. If you're looking for one of the very best dining experiences in Orange County, Mastro's Ocean Club should be at the top of your list.

    I've been thinking about writing a review for two years. I had my wedding reception here and…read moreworking with event coordinator was a frustrating experience. It bothers me to this day and I want to warn other brides. I'll keep it brief and stick to the main points. The restaurant switched event coordinators amid the wedding planning, and they quoted different prices and arrangements. The latter refused to honor the rates that the initial coordinator provided in writing. And on every occasion where we had a scheduled phone call or in-person meeting, she would arrive substantially late or not at all. The energy was off. Whenever there was an issue, she would wait for me to get upset. I'm a solution focused person and I don't dwell on problems. If you're telling me what I requested for vegetarian options isn't available, just go on and tell me the other options. Why say weird comments waiting for me to get angry? I opted for a small reception to keep it low-stress but working with the coordinator was aggravating. She was unprofessional, unreliable, and frankly... inept. I'm not going to get into the weeds and nitpick but that's the gist. The waitstaff on the day of the wedding was superb. I recall our main waiter being named Mark. He was attentive, warm, smart and made the evening seamless. The food was terrific. As far as my guests knew, Mastro's was a blast. I'll come back for a regular meal but no more parties at Mastro's sadly.

I chose this restaurant for my mom's birthday and mentioned that in the reservation. They were nice enough to keep her cake in the fridge until we were ready to eat it. We sit down at a table at the far end sun in my face as the middle table was open and in the shade. We sit down and get settled. A family of 6 comes in and ends up sitting behind my party of 4. Server introduces herself and the specials to my table. Goes to the table behind us does the same thing but ask "anything to drink?" That one question we weren't asked. The table behind us gets their drinks and they get to order with a lengthy conversation. Finally our turn to order! Would have loved a nice glass of beer while we waited. Ordered 4 items, two appetizers (spicy salmon and yellowtail crispy rice), bluefin carpacio, Marilyn Monroe roll, rainbow roll. We get everything but the rainbow roll. After some time she comes back and asked if we want to order anything more. I said "do I have any other rolls coming?" Alluding to that I'm missing a roll. Her response sounded like she was questioning me as if our empty plate was the rainbow roll. We order another roll. Ready for our cake, she brought it out and lit a candle since we didn't have one. I was just expecting a free birthday item. Most restaurants celebrate birthdays with an ice cream or something. Service just felt slow and felt the other table was getting better service.
