I was in garden grove and wanted something close to eat. but lets first start off with the negatives: the service. i enter and after about 2-3 minutes someone came out to greet me. ok whatever. the food came out pretty fast but that was about it. I didnt get a water refill or extra napkins. I ordered the salmon crunch and blue ocean roll? sorry i think i got the names wrong. pretty fresh, tasty. I decided on the $18.99 lunch bento special. it was soo much food it could feed like 3 people. all in all lots of food for $58. great big shopping center. theres target,bath & body works, other little shops & restaurants check it out. read more

This is by far the freshest, most tastiest sushi I ever had at a (non) fancy establishment. They don't skimp out on the fish. You get huge pieces of quality fish in the sushi and the hand-rolls are also jammed packed with meat. Some of our favorites were the bluefin tuna, blue crab, and jumbo scallops. They were all scrumptious and my mouth is watering just thinking about it again. Extra kudos to the staff who were friendly and super attentive. Right now they are doing a promotion where some sushi are 50% off and you get a free hot sake with the yelp check-in. Definitely going to be a regular at this spot. read more

Arrived close to 6pm on Saturday and it hadn't been busy yet, thank goodness. During our dinner, parties started coming in and it eventually became a full house. The restaurant isn't that big. Service is good and the sushi was fresh and very reasonably priced (specifically the nigiris that were advertised at 50% off). I'd recommend the following: marinated baby octopus, blue fin tuna nigiri, amberjack nigiri, salmon belly nigiri, yellowtail belly nigiri. I would not recommend the following: salmon skin salad, salmon skin hand roll (the salmon skin was not crunchy, as it should be); black Tiger shrimp nigiri (dry and lacking flavor); bluefin tuna toro sushi (what a disappointment, as this was more than triple the price of the blue fin tuna nigiri, but didn't taste as good); and the A5 Wagyu sushi (it wasn't bad, but wasn't worth the price as it wasn't as tender as I was hoping.. perhaps too cooked) I'd come back. Check in on Yelp for a small bottle of hot sake. read more

YUM YUM YUM! As you can tell by most of my reviews, I'm big on sushi restaurants and Dai was a nice experience. I came her with my family and we enjoyed dinner just before the Friday rush. No reservation required, we just walked in and we're seated within 5 min. Everything we ordered was tasteful but the dishes I would immediately come back for is the bluefin tuna and creamy mentaiko pasta - so so GOOD. Edamame Furikake fries Rattlesnake Lion king Bluefin tuna sushi (2 pc) - 50% off Salmon sushi (2pc) - 50% off Sea bream (2 pc) - 50% off Unagi bowl Creamy mentaiko pasta Thanks for a great time! read more

I really want to like you, Dai, but I would NOT recommend a combo plate here. I ordered a two item and both items were unfortunately, BELOW PAR. The tempura shrimp was VERY tiny and the BEEF TERI WAS LITERALLY INEDIBLE!!! So tough and grisly OMG! I had to spit it out in my napkin because I was unable to chew or swallow it politely. My friend's nigiri sushi was literally half the size as other places. The chicken karaage my friend got looked great and the appetizer pork wieners were delicious. read more

Had the opportunity to have dinner here the day before thanksgiving. It was really busy but the food was great and I thought it was a great value, especially the ala carte sushi which was half off. The only downside was that service was a little slow due to them being so busy, but I think it was due to it being the night before a holiday. Outside of that, our server was great and the food was delicious. read more

I LOVE this place! They have a 50% off nigiri promotion since it's opened and we always love to order a lot from here! The sushi is a great quality for a medium price point type restaurant- so I'd categorize this as an occasional sushi date spot (but maybe not as high end like omakase). That being said I think they're the perfect middle ground when u do want great quality fish for a reasonable price while catching up with friends or on like a monthly date night! Service is pretty good but the wait can get decently long sometimes on high traffic times so would recommend going a bit early to do errands at target or something if you're gonna eat in that window hahah. The restaurant isn't the biggest but it's also not the smallest so just be prepared since it seems like a local favorite for sure! read more

Everything! Our favorite local Japanese haunt. It's literally around the corner from myself and my besties. Like, we literally could walk there. Food is GREAT! And so reasonably priced. Bento box combo with two items is fantastic at $18.00--choose two items, plus a GREAT spring mix salad with that famous creamy orange dressing that you can't find anywhere in the store, so I always want to order a gallon of it here to go. Also, a lot of sunomono--the cucumber salad slices marinated in rice wine vinegar, plus two pieces of fried tofu, rice, and the two entrée items you choose. I usually get the shrimp & veggie tempura along with teriyaki steak. I think I'm going to order it rare next time, only because I like medium rare and it's cooked more towards medium. You can also choose sashimi as a choice, sushi, teriyaki chicken, katsu, teriyaki salmon, and I think a few others. It's all SO delish! And more than enough food--I always have enough for take home leftovers for at least one meal the next day. Another thing I love about bento boxes is the bento box itself. I love the little compartments for each item because it's cute and reminds me of the old tv dinners that had that kind of tray that separated each item from the others. Also, if you order bento for delivery or take-out, it comes in the same kind of cute compartmentalized disposable tray. I kept mine the last time I ordered this, because I'm weird and it's so cute--LOL!--and I just like eating little servings of my meals in those little compartments. Guess it's nostalgia and reminds me of my childhood... XD There's also a sushi bar in here. It's fun to watch--our booth was across from it. I like their sashimi--my fave is the hamachi belly. The fish is very fresh. And our waitress, Trinity, is just a doll! So sweet and very informative about things. She even informed me as to where I could get this special coconut pudding called KOKONUT. It comes in clear plastic jars with a metal screw top, and I've been wanting to try it forever. She told me I could get it four stores down from there, so we went and got two jars afterwards. Trinity's truly a gem. Can't say enough good things about her. We stayed a little longer, because I had a Coke to finish, but she was fine with that. Very busy lady and super accommodating with everything. Thank you so much, Trinity! Oh yeah--and they deliver through DoorDash and Post Mates. Sometimes PostMates has a 50% off deal up to 15.00, so check if you want it delivered. Only thing is that I think it costs them a lot to deal with delivery services, so if you can, maybe just go there and eat. It's cute, quaint, quiet and very Japanese inside. And they're usually not super slammed to where the wait time is very long. Usually, we can get seated right away. It's a fairly cozy-sized place with both some tables and some booths.Or just go and order the takeout directly from them. Either way, just check them out--you'll be happy you did, and so will your stomach! read more

Fantastic. We were in the area and got stuck in some traffic. So we decided to exit and find a snack. What a happy surprise! Great food, great service. This place is hidden in a little shopping plaza. Its a little place, maybe 10 tables. So I can see that it can get busy. Loved the presentation and the quality of food. read more

Was craving sushi and tried Dai Sushi for the first time. It's located in the same plaza as Target and Daiso and I'm always in this plaza, but had no idea it was here because it's on the side by the UPS. My friends wanted to come here because they have half off sushi (2 pieces) all day. I tried the Dai Sushi Set ($18.99), which comes with 7 pieces of sushi that's chef's choice, crab handroll, miso soup, and salad. I wasn't a big fan of the sushi. Maybe I came on an off day, but the rice was hard and the sushi wasn't the best. The crab handroll was also just imitation crab meat. However, the salad and miso soup were good. I did come towards the end of the night so could have just been bad timing. Tip: You can also check in on Yelp for free hot sake. read more

The sushi here is amazing and super buttery. The quality of their fish is top grade. This is my second time here and it didn't disappoint. 3 of us came in around 6:15pm and were seated down almost immediately. The music was played nicely and not too loud which is great to talk to and hear your friends. We also ordered the black dragon, caterpillar, unagi sushi, edamame, and takoyaki (not pictured). My friends and I were able to finish those dishes and the price was not bad! $114 before tax and tip. read more

DAI Sushi - yellowtail, salmon, scallop, bluefin tuna - Japanese Near Me - Westminster, California

1. The sushi rolls were assembled well, and it has the right amount of rice! The chicken karaage was cut into small pieces, so it was easier to eat! I also love the plates used! 2. The spot has fun cozy vibes! Definitely did not expect the dark ambiance based on the outside exterior! 3. There were many booths and tables as well as a counter! 4. The staff were friendly and attentive! 5. Parking in the front can get crowded, but there is plenty of parking by Daiso and Target! Note: There are two gender-neutral bathrooms deep down in the back!

Loved this place. It's super traditional Japanese cuisine, the food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Definitely going back.

What a great fine! Wonderful and attentive service. We ordered a bit of everything (to hedge) in case we didn't like something. As it turned out the sushi was REALLY good! I got amberjack, yellowfin belly, seabream and yellowfin tuna, it was so good I got a second order! They have miso cod , it was good - however I think next time I would just get more of their sushi because they were so good! The udon was so hot and yummy which was perfect for a cold evening. Overall , very pleased with dinner! The staff were very prompt, courteous and attentive. Looking forward to coming back! Cheers!! read more

I had a great experience here with my parents! The owner was beyond helpful, recommending dishes and providing the freshest/tastiest options. He went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with our food and was extremely attentive to our table. Accidentally left my phone at the table, and he found our car to return the phone before we left. Great decor inside, very authentic and clean. The food was delicious as well, I highly recommend asking for fresh wasabi! read more

Dai Sushi is in the same plaza as Target, Chick-fil-A, Daiso, etc and next to The Joint Chiro on the east side of the plaza. No issues with parking. Came here for lunch and got the Bento Combo, Creamy Mentaiko Pasta, and 2 piece salmon sushi (not pictured). Everything was delicious! Fish was fresh, creamy pasta was full of flavor, and bento has additional sides which I really liked! The salad on the bento was exceptionally delicious. Apparently the salad dressing is house-made! Service was good as well! Will definitely come back for the creamy pasta, mmmmm! read more

Arrived at the restaurant before peak dinner time, parking was pretty easy, but the parking lot is not huge so may get packed at peak times. The restaurant itself has booths primarily and can prob seat 10 parties of 4 easily, more or less, we were seated right away and then it became packed after 30min. The food was quite quite, the fish tasted fresh and the Chicken Karaage was fried very crispy and flavorful as it should be. The salmon and tuna were delicious. Edamame was great addition to the appetizers. I didn't get a change to try their uni pasta since it wasn't available. Service was pretty quick and friendly, so I felt overall at home and comfortable with the dining experience. Overall experience for some quick sushi at a nice casual restaurant. Definitely recommended for a casual night out at a sushi restaurant without breaking the bank. read more

Got the lunch bento with chicken karaage. Chicken size is a lot smaller than the older pics you see but flavor wise very good

The food is amazing and for the price it definitely worth it. I had a good experience with a korean server on Thursday, not sure what his name is but he did great. The food especially the sushi comes ready to eat and no extra sauce needed. The sashimi does come out to be more than expected at like $50 a set which is pricey compared to their menu but the price was not showing in the menu either but I'll give them a pass. Also i love the noise level, not too loud. I wish they have more smaller tables. Since the food is so good, i don't want to be picky and give less than 5 stars but the server can be improving. I put my card down while i was talking to the server and went to the restroom and when i came out they still have not processed and when i put my card in she just stared at me and the amount which make me feel very uncomfortable, if this happens again ill drop the stars to 1 read more

Usually little wait time so its convenient spot whenever you crave sushi and want it ASAP. very homey interior and they were playing modern family :)) there is no ayce so a bit $$ my recommended dishes are the tempura vegetables + shrimp and belly sushi! Update: their mentaiko cream pasta and soft shell crab are also must try's!! The sauce for the pasta is to die for. read more

A must try sushi restaurant in the area!! The fish was so fresh, the best in the area. The rice is also seasoned so well. Not too vinegar-y. I loved the blue fin tuna and yellowtail the most. The garlic edamame is a great starter. It comes out so hot and the flavors are amazing. The cold sake comes with these cute cups with koi in them. The restaurant is kept tidy and clean. Shoutout to Joshua for the best service and being so kind and attentive! read more

The granddaughter loves her sushi and today she picked DAI Sushi for lunch. We were seated at a large booth by the entry way and we could see the busy activity of new customers coming in or those that do delivery service. Our server "Sung" was attentive during all the activities and I venture to guess that not only was the kitchen busy, but the two masters prepping the rolls and sashimi did a great job keeping up. Our orders came quick. Baked Green Mussels, , Agedashi soft Tofu, Scallop Roll, and Gyoza for the hungry grand kid. The lovely missus was admiring the lunch specials and chose the Bento Box Chicken Teri with Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura. That is a big special lunch helping. Udon Nabeyaki and a side of California Roll for me. Food was great as a passing patron gave her thumbs up as she passed me at the front. It was a delightful Luncheon as we ended the frenzie with Green Tea Ice Cream, Vanilla Mochi Ice Cream. The sweet reddish plum wine was my award. DAI Sushi was a great choice and I know we will come here again. read more

Service was quick but as they were busy took awhile for our order to come. They did send a comp salmon collar to make up for the weight which was nice. Taste wise I enjoyed the nigiri as felt the rolls had too much rice and was ok on flavor. Will come back to try the carpaccio and nigiri while they still have promo price from grand opening read more

A cute little sushi place! It was big pieces, and they were yummy! A little pricey, but not bad sushi. Definitely stop by if you're craving sushi down in this area. They kindly accommodated our party of 10 (although we did come in on a Tuesday at 4pm). Service was nice, and you order just by ticking off which pieces you wanted. You can get individual pieces of sushi or sashimi, or you can order their specialty rolls. I think all of it was good! Decent place. Nothing too crazy though. Edamame was good but personally would not order again because the portion was small. Two specialty rolls filled up me and my partner, so hopefully this information is helpful. Anyways, if I'm down in the area and craving sushi, I would definitely stop by again. read more

We were trying to think of places to go and randomly decided on this sushi spot! It's very small and homey. We ordered WAYYY too much food as always but it was all very good! We started off with the eel and sea bream nigiri. I LOVE sea bream Literally so good. The eel was very melt in your mouth. We got the Vegas Roll, Dai Special Roll, Lion King Roll, and the Sashimi Roll. Personally, we could've gone without the Sashimi Roll and Vegas Roll. The Lion King Roll and Dai Special was unique to the restaurant as I had never seen it before at other sushi places. The quality of the fish was great which is why I could see this place being a hidden gem in the community. I would come here again when I'm in the area! read more

DAI Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Westminster, California

Another one in the "Best Bang for you Bucks" book. Each piece ranges from $4-6. They all kinda start tasting similar after a while.. fat, juicy, and buttery pieces. Haven't had their rolls but nigiri is the way to go here. Don't expect anything super special. This place satisfies the craving when I want sushi for dinner without spending a lot or going fancy. It's more of a regular Monday-Wednesday night kind of dinner... the one where you can dress in leggings and a sweater. Marking this down to a three though because service is very slow... only two servers for the entire restaurant so we never got attended to. I've asked for water more than once but never got any until the end after I had already finished dinner. Please send them more help. read more

Worst sushi experience I've had. Spent about $100 for two people and couldn't even finish the food because the quality was terrible. The nigiri tasted really bad, old, and not fresh at all. The baked mussels were so chewy and inedible. The only things that seemed fresh were the seaweed salad and cucumber appetizer. The service was great, but unfortunately the food was a huge letdown. There are much better spots in OC like Takumi and SushiEats that cost less and have way higher quality. read more

Stepping into Dai Sushi is like entering a cozy haven of flavor and warmth. This place knows how to do sushi right. Dai Sushi is an absolute gem, offering incredible sushi that's both delicious and reasonably priced. The quality of the fish here is outstanding, easily rivaling more expensive spots without breaking the bank. I tried a variety of their rolls and sashimi, and each bite was a testament to their commitment to freshness. The presentation was also top-notch, with each piece looking as good as it tasted. I am a fan of their bluefin tuna, seared salmon, yellowtail, Japanese amberjack, and so much more! I would eat everything here fr. To be fair, I find the seared tuna not the best to get... The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring you have a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. One standout feature is their attention to detail. From the perfectly cooked rice to the beautifully sliced fish, everything is meticulously prepared. Also, check-in on Yelp for free warm sake! Overall, Dai Sushi is a must-visit for any sushi lover. The combination of high-quality fish, excellent value, and a welcoming ambiance makes this place truly awesome. Dai Sushi has quickly become my go-to when my friends ask me where I wanna go eat.
