    I am blown away once again. Shout out to Dana for a top tier service. The fish? unreal. Everything tasted fresh, clean, and high quality. I brought my sister, who has never been a fan of raw fish, and she said it wasn't fishy at all. As mentioned in my previous review, the toro melts in your mouth. The orion drift is smooth, crisp, and goes perfectly with the meal. Their spicy garlic edamame is one of the best I have ever had. Please open a location in Irvine.

    Have driven past this place and wanted to give it a try. Tried a dinner bento and some sushi rolls. I have to say that the rolls were ok with some being better than others. The dinner bento was actually quite good and I loved the bbq beef. Prices were very reasonable and quality was good. I'm not going to say it's a top notch sushi restaurant but overall for the price and service I would recommend you give them a try.

    What a fantastic experience! I am sad that I did not try this place sooner. I made a reservation for 2 people last Friday at 5:30. The service was wonderful. We were instantly given some complimentary miso soup while we looked over the menu. The server had informed us that the salmon was super fresh and just arrived. We tried so many things! We had garlic edamame, mixed tempura, salmon carpaccio, Philadelphia roll, lovely salmon roll, rainbow roll, and 2 spicy items featuring spicy tuna. Everything was so flavorful!! The lovely salmon roll was my favorite. The lemon was so refreshing with the fresh salmon. The soju drinks were also lovely. We had passion fruit and they let us try the raspberry. We will definitely come back again. It was romantic and the perfect pre valentines date night.

    The special included tempura miso, and six rolls of our choice on the beautiful display! This was a great deal for our party at four. Loved the tempura. Wished the miso would've had some tofu in it although the miso was tasty. Great service. The rolls were good with fresh fish.

    The sushi was really good and the fish is great quality. The staff is genuinely friendly, which makes the experience even better. You can tell they care about what they do, and they make you feel welcome whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout. That said, it's a little on the pricier side. Also, the edamame and udon were just okay, nothing bad, just not super memorable. Overall, if you're craving fresh sushi and good welcoming vibes, this is definitely a good place.

    Amazing sushi spot my go to for Friday night !!!! I love ordering the seared blue fin tuna roll !

    This place is one of my favorite sushi spots. You wouldn't expect it from the outside, it it's a great cozy place with a good vibe and a massive amount of options. They have so many creative rolls here, and if you have sushi-shy people who are afraid of raw fish, they have plenty of cooked/baked roll options. If you're like me and like spice, they have plenty of spicy options too. And of course they have all the classics. They also have specials. I think these do not show on the online menu?

    Sashimi mix

    We went for dinner on a Friday evening. There is a ton of parking available. The ambiance is simple and quaint. A very comfortable Japanese restaurant. You can tell that they have a lot of repeat customers by the way the staff greets so many of them by name. You can't beat the personal touch. We got mixed tempura which was crispy and light batter with delicious and sweet vegetables and shrimp. Perfect way to start our meal. Next up was a yellow submarine sushi roll. It was almost too pretty to eat. The jalapeños and the yellowtail along with a tropical flower made the roll really stand out. It was refreshing and delicious. The quality of yellowtail told us we weren't going to be prepared for the freshness of the rest of the sashimi and sushi we had ordered. We had the sashimi mix next. Large, thick cut and some of the freshest sashimi ever was in front of us. We added the Toro which was well worth the extra $5. We couldn't get over how each piece melted in our mouths. Last we had the 10 piece sushi mix. The presentation was stunning and once again the freshness of the sashimi was amazing. Dinner was exceptional and the staff was amazingly friendly and welcoming. Cannot wait to go back.

    Nigiri Combo

    I was today years old when I learned that some Japanese restaurants are closed on Sundays. Luckily Ginzaya bucks that trend. I came, I saw, I ATE THAT. Sushi is incredibly fresh, and the presentation is spot on. Bonus points for having a kids menu! Extra credit for having TVs showing Sunday Night Football. Lowkey spot with local vibes...and the vibes were high. Service was top notch, super friendly and anticipated what we needed before needing to call for them.

    This place is located in a litte strip mall with plenty of parking and it's easy to find! Inside is beautifully decorated and has a chill vibe with it. You're greeted very warmly here and feel very welcomed as soon as you entered. And the welcomed feeling stays throughout your stay! The quality of the food is amazing! Starting with the tempura! It's crispy perfectly cooked, and definitely full of flavor! The miso soup is quite delicious. Very comforting and warm. For the nigiri and sashimi mix, we definitely made sure to do the belly upgrade for $5 more each. So this gave us salmon belly and tuna belly! The quality of the sushi was amazing! Literally melts in your mouth, and bursting with flavor. I'm usually not a fan of escolar, but their escolar was amazing! The Yellow Submarine roll was perfect, with the yellowtail, jalapeno, a touch of hot sauce, couldn't be any better. This place is fantastic! Make your way over if you can!

    Mackerel and blue fin tuna sashimi
    Michie H.

    The best sushi in La Mirada! All the staff is so friendly and attentive. The ambiance is very warm and inviting-perfect for a date or family dinner. We love sitting at the sushi bar where we can watch them make the sushi and talk to the best sushi chefs!

    Otoro Sashimi
    Mike H.

    It had to be my lucky day....I walked into my fave sushi spot and BAM!!!! Otoro sashimi is on the menu!!! I have never had better tasting sashimi anywhere in the world. They had all three of the most delicious bluefin cuts; we could have stayed all day but I wouldn't have left any for the rest of you!! 10/10 you will be happy you tried it

We arrived just as they were opening for the day. Seated immediately and didn't take long to place our orders. Three of us went with the Kitchen Combo. One chose pork cutlet entree. Two selected bulgogi entree. Our fourth diner ordered a tempura appetizer. Warm bowls of Miso soup arrived almost immediately. Delicious. The tiny restaurant filled very quickly with diners and a continuous flow of take-out orders. They were busy. Service was attentive throughout. Our food arrived. Bento platters full with crispy tempura veggies, California rolls, one scoop rice, tossed salad, and our entrees. Ginger and wasabi served on the side. - Tempura veg & one slim shrimp was good. - Salad, minimal and mediocre. - Sushi roll was basic. - Pork cutlet was beautifully displayed on a bed of crispy rice noodles. The diner declared it delicious. - My disappointing bulgogi was filled with gristle and connective tissue covered by a pleasantly sweet sauce. The meat was inedible. I could not breakdown the pieces I chewed and mostly removed from my mouth with a napkin. There are other entree choices - salmon, chicken, pork cutlet. This time I chose wrong. We each took home more than half our lunch to enjoy later. I combed thru the bulgogi with the same results and just tossed it. The restaurant is clean, cute, nicely decorated. Excellent service. Lots of free & easy parking. The location is too far out of my way to choose them again. I won't be back.

Food: I ordered the beef gyugatsu. When you order (on the tablet) it will give you a choice if you want the full set or just the meat only. Of course I had to try the full set. It came with 2 sauces, salad, edamame, radish, rice, and a bowl of miso soup. It was delicious! Meat also came with a little grill for u to cook on and wasabi on the side. My partner ordered the curry pork cutlet. Pork cutlet was a tad bit dry, nothing crazy but the sauces that came with it made it better!

We came the last hour of closing and there was still a couple of tables eating inside still. We were greeted upon arrival and we didn't need them to tell us how to order as the only thing on the table was the ordering tablet (self-explanatory). We ended up ordering the premium gyu katsu set along with the curry pork cutlet set that comes with rice and sides along with some beer. The drinks and food came out fairly quick and were steaming hot. I like that the curry came on the side so the pork cutlet wouldn't get soggy and you could pour over as much as you want over the cutlets. The veggie sides were a nice touch and complemented the meal well. The gyu katsu didn't taste like Japan to us, but it was still good especially with the wasabi and sweet soy sauce that came with it. If I came back here, I would give the beef tongue a try along with the creamy udon because those also seemed like a favorite for customers. Service here was friendly and we were checked up on multiple times without having to flag someone down.
