    This place is worth checking out. Awesome sushi and impeccable service. Will highly recommend! I even got a free coke.

    We've driven by this place so many times, and finally decided to try it! Our first impression walking in, the wait staff are so incredibly kind and friendly and were very welcoming! This is a cute little all you can eat sushi restaurant and it did not disappoint! The menu had so many great options and unique rolls! There was something for everybody! When the sushi came out it was very fresh, and beautifully presented. We really enjoyed our dinner here and were so impressed. Honestly this may be my favorite new sushi restaurant in Orange County! I'm so happy this is close by to my house and can not wait to come back!!

    My husband and I were actually planning to go out for omakase, but we heard about a popular AYCE sushi spot in Orange County and decided to give it a try instead. Honestly, we were pleasantly surprised. The open kitchen was fun to watch, the sushi tasted fresh, and the uni was one of our favorites. The quality was much better than we expected for an all-you-can-eat restaurant. We left completely full and would definitely come back.

    I had an amazing experience at Ise Sushi Japanese Restaurant--the sushi was incredibly fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Definitely a 5/5 experience, and I'll absolutely be coming back!

    Very good all you can eat sushi place. They don't load you up on rice. Nice fish to rice ratio definitely go back a lot of options.

    Solid option for ramen!! They are open super late and they have such an assortment from sushi to ramen to udon. Service was awesome. My husband got take out and they neatly packaged the items. It was pretty tasty and came with extra vegetables.

    Best selection of sashimi/carpaccio for an ayce place for sure
    Brittney G.

    One of the better ayce sushi spots in Orange County. Fish selection is good, they have a great variety of sashimi/carpaccio and izakaya. One downside was a nat/fly problem the last time I was there... and a fly zapper sitting on the sushi counter. Doesn't look great for customers worried about food safety/quality. Definitely will come back, hopefully will not have any fly/nat problems next time

    I live close by but have never tried this spot. Pretty standard price for ayce, and I like how they are open late. My friend and I met up for 8pm dinner and were able to sit at the bar with no wait. The nigiri was alright, so I personally took advantage of ordering carpaccio instead after the first round. Tasted more fresh and had good flavor. The sashimi no rice roll was good to share. They include some ikura, scallops, and uni with the ayce which is usually an added cost at other places. Really appreciated it was included, and maxed it out. The crispy tuna rice are huge pieces, but are one of the better ones I've had at a restaurant. Udon was also basic, with a good amount of noodles. Service was good refilling my hot water and bringing out the dishes. For a quick ayce sushi, I think it was a great meal.

    Another mediocre AYCE sushi spot. The food was pretty good but nothing really stood out. They don't have any unique rolls and everything was very basic. Their lunch was 29.99 and dinner 39.99. Most of the best food was locked behind the dinner menu. The spot was pretty small, but they have pretty cool decorations. The service was a little slow and the servers don't speak great English. I personally wouldn't visit again since there are better spots with better quality fish or cheaper pricing.

    Seared Salmon
    Nance R.

    We absolutely took full advantage of the AYCE at Ise Sushi -- and zero regrets. Came with a group, so naturally we ordered like it was our job. The salmon and albacore carpaccio were fresh, buttery, and perfectly dressed. The sashimi? Clean cuts, fresh flavor, no fishy aftertaste exactly what you want when you're going all in. And the hand rolls were solid every round, not just the first one. Service kept up with our pace and the food kept coming out consistently good. Nothing felt rushed, nothing felt sloppy just quality across the board. If you're going to do AYCE, do it properly. Bring friends. Come hungry. And pace yourself... or don't.

    Mark Q.

    Good food and the service was quick. Very understandable menu and as swell as the pictures. Also all you can eat is affordable, however I have been to multiple AYCE sushi places and they of course let us know about the leftover price if we waste food. However we would sometimes leave 1 piece of a sushi or two and we would never get charged for it. Not a big deal but for this restaurant are very very serious. Which is fine, but seriously? We left maybe 2 pieces of sushi. That kind of ruined the whole experience in terms of how serious and stingy they were. We didn't waste on purpose AND we didn't leave a WHOLE ROLL. Oh well. Come here but bear in mind if that experience.

    I can't believe this place isn't talked about more. Tucked away and easy to miss, this hidden sushi spot absolutely delivers--especially if you're an all-you-can-eat sushi lover like me. What really sets this place apart is how many options they have that don't even include rice. Yes, you read that right. So many sashimi-style rolls and specialty pieces that let the fish shine without filling you up too fast. And when rice is included? The portion is perfectly minimal--just enough to hold everything together without overpowering the flavor. Let's be honest: when you're doing AYCE, rice management matters . The thoughtful balance here makes it easy to enjoy more variety without feeling stuffed after a few rolls. Fish was fresh, cuts were generous, and everything came out quickly. You can tell they understand how to do AYCE without sacrificing quality.

    This has become my go to sushi spot. Prices are fair for delicious AYCE sushi. They have a really good deal if u come for lunch. If you're wondering yes they play the World Cup here and if u wear a jersey beer is $1. This entire place is a great environment, friendly staff, not much of a wait time to be seated, World Cup, delicious AYCE sushi, and beer.

I made reservations so we could get the premium set. It was our first time, so not sure what to expect. The reservation for seating wasn't needed as the tables were mostly empty but the reservation was needed to make sure the omakase was available. There was no sushi bar seating, so the omakase came out all at once instead of a piece by piece experience. That's fine. Oddly though, the waiter did not explain which fish each piece was, but the sushi chef James told us at the end of the meal that the waiter was new and Chef James then explained the fish himself. Weird backwards experience but every one was kind and well-meaning. The quality of the fish in the nigiri was exceptional. Some of the best I've had in the area considering how close it is located to competitors like Ooshima and Kaigen etc. The fish all came dressed, which was to be expected. It was all pretty delicious except it was all just a little bit sweet for my taste.. I prefer more savory, salty, or lemony. That being said, the quality made up for the preference in taste which could easily be remedied with some soy sauce, ponzu, lemon, etc. The bite of Wagyu nigiri was genuinely the best wagyu I've ever had. We also tried the mussels and agedashi tofu for hot appetizers. Would 100% recommend either dish. Overall, happy with the experience as wifey was a happy birthday girl. We did not have room to try any regular rolls so I cannot comment on that. The one negative thing I will say is to absolutely skip the handrolls - any of them. The machine compacted rice made a roll that should be delicate feel mishandled and ruined the texture/experience of that roll. That being said, will definitely be coming back again for some more of the best quality nigiri in the area.

    DECENT FOOD, TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT…read more I've been here twice, and I can honestly say I think the food is decent, but the manager needs additional training or something. Let me tell y'all what happened and why I will not go back, ever. Service: 0/5 I ordered food to-go for my staff members birthday; I waited about 40 mins. Like others have said, they're very short staffed here and maybe that's problem #1. After some time went by, I think they realized I was sitting for a very long time for a small to-go order, so they rushed & possibly didn't secure my bag of food properly. I ordered a spicy YAKIUDON noodle meal, spicy edamame, and a fried "San Diego". When the young man gave it to me, I asked him if it was secure because it feels heavy and I'm taking it to my staff member and wanted it to be ready for him to eat. He said everything was there, it was packaged well, and sorry for the wait. WELL- LONG STORY SHORT IT WASN'T. lol. I immediately called after I got to my staff members job (15 mins away) and nothing was secure. It leaked so badly EVERYWHERE! My car, my clothes, the food was soggy- it was a literal disaster. After calling- the man apologized profusely and said he will replace EVERYTHING and to come back any time. My staff member and I were out of lunch and it was honestly embarrassing because it was their birthday. I wasted my time, spent 2x the money, and I had an extremely dirty car. I took pics, threw the food away, and went back a few days later. When I got there- the cook/ possibly owner was MAD as heck when the guy told him I was there to recollect my order. After shouting and shaking his head- I saw him cooking. When my bag came- it was awfully light and a very tiny box. I asked the server if that was everything and he was so embarrassed and kept saying he was sorry that the owners said "no." They will not replace it after all. They gave me a literal small side of noodles and that's it. The meal I originally bought came with rice, a salad, a dumpling etc. I also didn't get the edamame, or the fried San Diego! All around- I felt bad for the young man who was so embarrassed and ultimately put in the middle. He said it was wrong what they're doing to me but ultimately this place was going back on what they should do to make it right. I didn't make a scene or argue, I opted to never come back. I think things like this show the character of an establishment and it is what it is.

However, something has really changed in the last few months for the worst. The last two times we've ordered take out, there have been huge delays and quality issues. Last night was the final straw. Myself and several other patrons were waiting over an hour for our to go food. Apparently the owner has instructed the chefs to exclusively prioritize in person diners and ignore the tickets for to go food. We also all got texts saying our order was ready - when it hadn't even been made yet. We waited well over an hour after getting the "food is ready" text and arriving. Even after we asked multiple times about our order, the chefs just didn't make it. They were clearly focused on the in person diners only, per the owner's instructions. The poor wait staff were very kind and trying to help, but ultimately their hands were tied. I'm not sure if it is because of this new AYCE concept or if they have new management...but this problem needs to be addressed. Not to mention, the quality of the rolls has also seemingly gone down. I really want this place to remain our go-to sushi spot. I just don't know if it can be unless something changes.

They also brought a plate of Green Tea flavor fried mochi ice cream with candle. The Mochi ice cream was so so good & it's free. It was so special. What a nice surprise! Since then, we have been back many times, especially on our birthdays. Thank you Heemo & staffs for the great experience. We will see you soon
