If you are looking for a restaurant that can flawlessly handle a large group reservation, Kin Sushi absolutely exceeded expectations. I initially reached out about reserving a table for 40+ people during a basketball tournament weekend and was told the manager would contact me back. Sure enough, she called promptly to confirm everything for our Saturday dinner reservation. The entire process was seamless and incredibly easy, especially considering this was a larger-than-normal party. Taizy handled everything professionally. She seamlessly added the extra guests without hesitation. Her only request was that we send over everyone's food orders ahead of time so the kitchen could prepare and ensure nobody had to wait too long. And wow -- they absolutely delivered. Every single order came out accurately and in a very timely fashion. No mistakes, no confusion, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. The servers were organized, attentive, and handled a very large group with ease. Service was truly 10/10. One of the reasons I chose Kin Sushi for a large group dinner was because the menu truly has something for everyone -- udon, sushi rolls, vegetarian rolls, bento boxes, chirashi, sashimi, and something for everyone. They even had Thai iced tea, which isn't normally something in you have in a Japanese restaurant. Parking was very easy, which is always appreciated when coordinating a large party, and there's a restroom conveniently located in the back. I'm beyond grateful for how well they handled our group, and I would absolutely return here again for future team dinners or large gatherings. Highly recommend! read more

Wanted to try a new sushi restaurant and stumbled across Kin Sushi. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is nice and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. Whether you're craving classic sushi or want to try something a little more creative, there's plenty to choose from. The pricing is also very reasonable for the quality and portions you get, which makes it an even better value! read more

Sorry to say that Kin Sushi did not work out for us when we visited for the first time based on a number of positive Yelp reviews. Our server was very attentive and accommodating at the beginning, but when we brought to her attention that the salad which was served with the meal was wilted and rotten, she absolutely did nothing but will let the kitchen staff know. In addition, the rice was probably a day old and clumpy that none of us could finish it. Bento protein portions are small especially for the salmon. Ginger and wasabi was offered as an option when sushi was ordered. No apologies and nothing was comped from our bill. read more

Came here for their mid-week happy hour (2:00-5:30!). Spicy tuna hand roll, mango roll, OMG roll (just okay..), but their yellowtail roll with salmon and avocado was my favorite (not on the happy hour menu). The baked mussels were unlike anything I've tried before! Pretty good. The service was great, there were only a few folks inside. Clean inside which is always a plus. We've been here once before and will be back! read more

Found another restaurant that offers bentos, so off I went to check it out! Kin Sushi is located in a medium-sized shopping plaza off of Alicia Pkwy & Paseo de Valencia, with free parking available in the shared lot. Upon arrival, I was surprised to find how large the restaurant was inside. I ordered the Dinner Bento Box to go for $18. You can select 2 main entree items out of approx 14 items such as salmon teriyaki, tempura, chicken cutlet, gyoza, various sushi rolls, etc. I selected the chicken teriyaki and Philadelphia roll. It also came with rice, miso & salad. The bento itself was just average. The chicken was dry. They included the teriyaki sauce on the side, which I appreciated. The Philadelphia roll was very tasty. The miso soup was good but the salad lacked dressing. If there were any dressing on it, it was very little. I probably wouldn't return since I thought the food was just average and there are better bentos in the area. read more

If you want quick, fresh, and reasonably priced sushi rolls in the area, Kin Sushi is a great spot to go. Their to-go orders are always ready as soon as my arrival. Like in the matter of less than 10-15 minutes at most. The ingredients are fresh and nothing tastes fishy. Their avocados are always perfectly ripe without blemishes or unripened hardness. The other items I like from them are the spring rolls. Extremely crunchy and sharp shards abound because of the crispiness. I love it! So much so I have no pictures of them because down the hatch it went. So if you live in the South OC area, I hope you give them a try. There's areas to sit down and have a dine-in meal as well and parking is free. read more

Up next: Mango Tango: Good but difficult to eat. It loses shape because it is wet with sauce. You have to strategically pick it up fast and shove it in your mouth. The onions are a good compliment to it because it added the much needed crunch to the bite. Sunrise: I am normally not a fan of tuna rolls unless it is spicy tuna but this was really good. Slightly sweet from the sauces but well balanced. Probably one of my favorites. Baked Langostino: Very addicting. Warm but not overdone or dry which can be a problem at some places. Balanced delicate sweetness. Summer: Very refreshing. read more

The quality of the food wasn't all that great. Ordered cucumber salad, halibut carpaccio, Philadelphia hand roll. Salmon was a a bit tough for my liking, halibut carpaccio was not it, and the cucumber salad .... I'm bummed Service was great. read more

I dropped in for a bento box, and it was fantastic. I had the Philadelphia roll and the tempura. Both were excellent as was the miso, salad, and rice. So much food. The surface is excellent, everyone is very friendly. read more

Placed an order for pick up, was told it would be ready in 25 minutes - arrived 30 minutes later and stood waiting for an extra 15 minutes. I can understand a long wait time (despite it being a weeknight and barely any customers inside....), but I can't understand communicating 25 minutes and then having someone wait for 45 instead. It's almost as if they forgot to make our order until we arrived. Don't recommend. read more

I have had lunch and dinner and this establishment. About a pure sushi guy, but I do like it. For lunch, I usually get the bento box, you're giving choices between two different roles or chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki, combined with mixed tempura. The price for the Lunch Box is very reasonable at about $15. This includes soup, salad, choice of two rolls, or the chicken or beef teriyaki. It is more than adequate for filling you up. The food is very good here, I can compare it to a higher price place in Laguna Beach, which is more expensive and not as good. What do you want to sit at the sushi bar and have straight sushi, or sit at a table and have the bento boxes., It's a good choice. read more

We stopped in for a sushi date night and had a wonderful experience. The service was fast and attentive, and the food was delicious. I am picky about my salmon, and can say that the salmon I had tasted fresh with a great texture. The house Chardonnay also paired great with the different types of wish we ordered. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious sushi! We got two bento boxes and a few rolls - all were excellent. Amazing prices and great quality! Will definitely be back .

Outstanding!! All around stellar customer service!! I tried their 911 Roll, and if you love spicy like I do, you'll enjoy this particular roll. I also experienced their Toro sashimi (5 pieces), and it didn't disappoint! This cute place, full of clean tables and sushi bar, is located in a strip mall/shopping center with ample parking and other interesting dining options nearby. Overall, the food was great, high quality and flavorful, clean, and above and beyond superb customer service! What a huge menu selection, too! Highly recommended! Thrilled with this sushi joint! 5 STARS!!! read more

Extremely disappointed with the poor quality. The tuna was full of sinew and fat, clearly not prepared properly. The rolls were uneven, and the gyoza were swimming in grease. The quality has gone downhill tremendously. No wonder the restaurant was completely empty! read more

I searched all over the area for crispy spicy tuna and found this place just a few short miles from home. I had no clue this place existed despite driving by multiple times! They don't call it CRISPY SPICY TUNA though. They call it TUNA BITES. It's my new favorite thing. Omg so so so good! A must try. The hostess was 5 star all the way. I ordered the edamame, plain salt, the Tuna Bites, it's 5 pieces, and an Arnold Palmer to drink! They have big screen tv, it large, Susie bar if you like. Overall, 5 stars food 5 star service and 5 star ambiance. I went on a Sunday so mostly families there laughing having a good time! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

My wife and I came to Kin sushi for lunch and was greeted by Taizy she was so freaking cool, we talked through our lunch about a bunch of different topics. While talking with Taizy we introduced to Lucky our sushi chef who was just the best. Lucky made amazing fresh sushi none of that sh*t ayce sushi. Lucky even hooked my wife up with extra special sushi . My mouth is wired shut as of this review and Taizy was so accommodating to my needs that she even offered something off menu that I was acutely able to "eat". I will definitely be telling my friends about this place and I will be back again because of Lucky and Taizy and other staff members. will see you soon! Peace and love TC and KARI read more

Ordered 3 various sushi rolls and the beef teriyaki bowl through DoorDash. All in all not a good experience. The beef was hard to chew; not marinaded long enough. The rice in the different sushi rolls were even worse. it was way too mushy. When rice is too watery bacteria grows faster so not too happy with their rice. Rice was not sushi rice also, just plain. Sushi rice should have a slight vinegar flavor. The restraint used to be a 4/5 rating... it's going downhill. Think they changed chefs. For the prices charged, it's not the best value for the price. read more

Kin Sushi is my new favorite spot! I have been here a few times since discovering it on Yelp. Their sushi is very good. They even do custom requests! They also sell other asian dishes, but sushi is what I always order. The atmosphere is good, and they have a cool saltwater fish tank in the center of the restaurant. read more

Amazing food! Great service! Have been coming here for years! Highly recommend! We love all of the food and keep coming back!

I was excited to try a local sushi place with raving reviews, but ended up a little disappointed. We ordered from their website and we were notified that our order would be ready in 40 minutes. We showed up 45 minutes after we placed the order but ended up waiting in the car for some time. It's totally understandable and it must've been busy, but we could've easily gotten a later time to arrive instead. We took the sushi home and felt the rolls were just... average. We got mackerel nigiri which was the highlight of the experience. However, for some reason the ginger smelled terribly like chemicals!! My husband normally loooves to eat the ginger by itself but we had to toss it immediately since we couldn't stand the smell while we were eating. It ended up making our trash can smell so we took the trash out and gave our trash bin a good spray. If anything, I'd only go back for the nigiri to see if that's better. I also saw vegan sushi options on their menu, so props to them on providing those! read more

Ordered a sushi where the description didn't say it had anything spicy in it. I got the sushi and it was spicy. I asked them if they put anything spicy in it and said yes. The waitresses asked if I wanted them to remake it and I said yes but then she gave me a look as she didn't want to. So then I said no. The other sushi I had ordered arrived and it was loaded with wasabi in the mix but no where in the description said it had wasabi. The waitress was already being rude. This place was not your typical authentic Japanese sushi place. The food was horrible. Why does every sushi need to be spicy? There is a reason why they give you wasabi on the side. No wonder there wasn't anyone eating there. Stay away and save your appetite. read more

Happy hour 4-530 pm Mon thru Fri. A variety of rolls, gyoza, hand rolls, sake and beer are offered. Beer is $3.50, rolls are $12. You end up saying a couple of dollars per roll during happy hour. The rolls are very thin and small. The mango tango roll was good, ordered two of them. Rainbow roll and autumn roll were also good. Also got the salmon collar, it was ok. And a couple of orders of gyoza. Overall hit the spot if you're craving for some Americanized rolls. read more

We were looking for sushi on our way home from furniture shopping at furniture row and did a quick Yelp search and came up with this place. We come to the shopping center often to get boba tea from ChaPlus but had never been to this restaurant. Glad we stopped by because the fish was fresh, the portions were generous, the restaurant was clean, and the servers were friendly. It was pretty busy, so clearly this is a well-known spot for locals. Not pictured but definitely you should get the cucumber salad and the shrimp tempura appetizer. We also got an order of salmon sashimi and the pieces were nice and thick and tender not stringy at all. So glad we came and we will definitely be back! read more
