This was a little different style of sushi than I was used to. I really liked the yellowtail nigiri - I'd definitely stick with nigiri on my next visit. Vibes are incredible, you're in a nice, cozy dining room right on PHC and can see all the sushi getting made right in front of you if you're at the bar. read more

We absolutely loved the previous sushi restaurant in this space... However , I think we like the new sushi restaurant in this space even more. Different owner , but same warm, caring, ocean vibes. Unique flavors and very fresh . We recommend you make a reservation. They do take walk-ins as we were a walk-in and bullied up to the bar. Super friendly staff . It's definitely a tiny small space but remarkably they can fit quite a few people in this restaurant. ( the parking is a little bit tricky however, if you go behind the restaurant up the little hill, there is plenty of parking. It's a very, very short pleasant walk.) read more

Sometimes sushi places try to get too creative with rolls and it doesn't work. Not this place. Miki does a great job of trying something different but keeping great taste and quality. Small little restaurant in Laguna Beach, probably 5-6 tables plus sushi bar. We were 20 minutes early for our reservation but they sat us no problem. Excellent and fast service. Everybody was nice and friendly, was greeted by everybody in the back when we walked in. Favorite roll was the Laguna Canon role. Will be back in the future to try some other roles. read more

Wow the quality of the food here is amazing! I ordered the sweet shrimp miso soup which I loved was more than just the usual basic soup. It was so flavorful with the different veggies and had a large shrimp in it. The sparking canned water was also very unique and I asked for a few extra lemons to squeeze in the water. The fish on the sushi roll tasted very fresh and the sauces that accompanied it were mouth watering. The service was quick and the waitress was friendly! I was able to get a seat at the bar doing a walk in. It is a pretty small place so I definitely recommend making reservations. read more

Miki Sushi & Sake - Sushi Bars Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Miki Sushi was such a wonderful experience! We made a reservation a few days in advance (highly recommend since seating is limited), and I'm so glad we did. The space is small and quaint with a cozy atmosphere where you can see the entire kitchen, but also peek-a-boo ocean views from the window seats. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. Our server provided fantastic recommendations, with some of our favorites being the Volcano Sizzle, Give You Energy and Hot Spicy Bay. Each dish came with its own unique sauce and all the flavors were absolutely incredible! What a hidden gem! We'll definitely be back. read more

Super unique sushi experience here at Miki. The founder was a female sushi chef who worked with Nobu previously, and the restaraunt continues in her honor (named after her too!) with all female sushi chefs which was a first for me to see. They are very skilled at their art and create incredible rolls and sauce flavour mixtures that I have never tasted before. Every item we had was a huge hit but I most highly recommend the Hot Rock and the Laguna Canyon. Very small inside which adds to the cozy community feel of this place. Will be adding this to my sushi spot rotation for sure. read more

Unique destination! Love that they create custom sauces for everything and portion it for you, so no soy sauce is needed or offered. Servers are friendly and attentive. Salma was amazing!! Small restaurant, so be sure to have a reservation on the weekend. read more

Came here at opening on a Saturday night (make sure to reserve!) with two dear friends and had a fantastic evening. Bustling and small, but such a cozy restaurant! Hannah was our server and she did a wonderful job with giving recommendations and making sure we were attended to. We ordered a ton of different nigiri and one roll, which was enough to fill three people. We also had some nice green tea, which they thankfully kept topped up as I love politely guzzling tea while having sushi. My friends had most of the nigiri but could attest to their deliciousness. I personally had the salmon lotus nigiri and prairie and the freshness was amazing (I'm a salmon enjoyer). They don't offer soy sauce in this establishment, as the offerings are meant to standalone and have their own flavor profiles, which I found to be pretty neat. My only gripe is that I wasn't informed that substituting out crab for spicy tuna in my prairie roll (which was really yummy!) would add an extra $2 - just a note for the servers for next time! Overall a great experience and would love to come back soon. As my friend remembers chef Miki before her passing, he was touched that it did well to pass on her legacy :) read more

The sushi at Miki is exceptional! The only reason Miki Sushi and Sake is a 4/5 is because when we did a walk-in last night versus having a reservation we were told that there would only be two options of fish for us: salmon and yellow tail, versus the table next to us (who had a reservation) was able to get the full fish and seafood menu choices. The service however was extraordinary, we loved our server Salma who was extremely helpful in suggesting items that were not only Gluten-Free (celiac safe) as well as mouth watering and delicious--with us only having two fish choices to work with (the sashimi, they did sneak in another fish choice ). We also enjoyed The Laguna Canyon roll (Normally made: Albacore, tuna, yellowtail, salmon, snapper, crab, masago, cucumber, avocado, sriracha, scallions, spring mix, daikon, kaiware, sesame seeds, crunchies, ponzu, Miki dressing) which was still bursting with flavor even though it was created with only salmon and yellow tail. We enjoyed sashimi: the Purple Ginger and Sexy truffle and we had Salmon Peppered (fusion nigiri) and The Wich (looks like a seaweed sandwich with chopped up salmon inside)--yummmmm. And to sweeten our tastebuds we had the crème brûlée--wow!!!! Although the resturant is small, the ambience is very inviting and cozy. Miki sushi and sake is a unique experience and one you don't want to miss dinning at when you are visiting Laguna Beach! My advice--make a reservation so that you can have the full experience of this dining sensation! read more

Best sushi, food, and desserts! Best staff. Best place EVER! Only restaurant I want to go to, only place worthy of my hard earned money! Miki was a trail blazer and her memory lives strong! read more

My husband and I have been coming here since it was Fusion 242 and anxiously awaited its return after Miki passed away. The sushi is just as excellent as it's always been. This spot is a definite favorite and we always recommend it to everyone we know. The service is always great and we love how small and quaint it is. Yes, it's recommended to make a reservation because they only have a few tables, but so worth the wait. The Laguna Canyon roll is a must, and we also love the Lava Flow and Hot Rock. This is our go-to sushi spot. read more

My favorite hole in the wall sushi place! I love how creative they get with how they plate their sushis and sashimis. My favorites are the sun and moon sashimi, Laguna canyon roll, and the prairie roll. So goood. Quality never disappoints. read more

First yelp review I've ever done, felt the need to let management know. This was our 3rd time coming in and the previous two were great. Our server made us feel rushed throughout the dining experience, even though we were there for a little over 1 hour. She seemed irritated with us throughout the whole experience. When I received the check, I just wanted to look over it before leaving my card, and she didn't even want to give me a minute to do that. Last but not least, I had to ask for our coats in the back, and she rolled her eyes when I asked for them. Seemed like we did something that bothered her when we were there. To spend $250 and walk out feeling like you bothered someone is a terrible feeling. Love the place and the food, but will never come back. Don't feel wanted back. read more

Rude take away from trying to stop in for dinner. You better have a reservation. Its a very small space. FYI

Love all their food! Owner friendly. Staff helpful and knowledgable. SO thankful they re-opened in town. Try anything...no bad choices!

Absolutely ridiculous. They said we had a reservation, but when we got there, there's no reservation in a record of our call while we had a record they take reservations, but serve whoever comes in and pretend they never got a reservation read more

first time here, definitely excellent service, quality of the food was very good fresh and definitely worth to visit, TANIA was awesome and recommended us few of her favorite dishes and love it. i will definitely come back and hopefully TANIA is here, i will ask for her! read more

Miki Sushi is such a cute little hole in the wall! We went for our anniversary last night and the vibes are so cute and romantic for a date night. The food is to die for. We got 3 appetizers and 3 rolls. We really recommend the give you energy. The yellowtail melts in your mouth and the sauce is so good. It sweet with a little kick and so refreshing. The sailing boat (crispy rice tuna) was really good. The rice is thin and on seaweed. We got the crunchy roll, caterpillar roll, and sweet butterfly. All were good! We've also tried m45, emerald bay, and Laguna canyon in past which are good too. We also shared the sweet shrimp miso soup which was ok. We weren't a fan of the cherry tomatoes in the soup. It also only came with one shrimp. The frozen crème brûlée is an ABSOLUTE MUST. They also have a matcha crème brûlée now that we did not try. Our server was really attentive! read more

Wow. Just wow. What an amazing restaurant! Came here to celebrate my anniversary with my girlfriend, and I was absolutely blown away. The rolls are all so light but have so much flavor to them. You can really tell someone put a lot of thought into making each roll. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was wonderful. Very nice and easy going place, I would strongly recommend that you come here to eat! read more

This is hands-down the #1 best sushi restaurant in OC! The artistry of Chef Miki is unparalleled. Been coming here for years, and the quality has remained supreme! Sauces so good you will literally want to lick your plate. I have ordered a bowl of rice, just to not waste the rest of the sweet butterfly sauce before. The sauce that comes on the side of the edamame is also incredible! The staff are wonderful, friendly and very helpful! Attentive and knowledgeable. Could not recommend highly enough. Even the bathroom has cool decor. Come see for yourself read more
