My boyfriend and I have been here like 3x in the last month for ayce sushi because it is our new favorite place. We discovered this place sometime last year but only ordered takeout, but decided to come for ayce one day and it changed our life. We've been to quite a few ayce sushi in OC/LA but I think this one is currently #1 on our tier list. The fish is super fresh, so even if you eat a lot it doesn't make you feel sick like some other places. The hand rolls are my favorite because i feel like the fish to rice ratio is perfect. Also the nigiri barely has any rice to it which is great! the rolls dont fill you up too much either. Basically in everything there is minimal rice which keeps the sushi tasting more light so you can eat more which I really appreciate You are allowed to order 3 rounds, I suggest to order a lot the first round so that you don't over order on the second and third Service is always really great, we have been here twice on Saturday and once on Friday for the lunch deal. On Saturday during lunch its not too busy so I think the service is better since they dont have too many tables to attend to, but all the waiters are super nice and helpful! read more

Great service. Chill vibe. GREAT price for AYCE and beer. Good fish quality and balance ingredients in the rolls, BUT the rice was not it. The fried/hit items from the kitchen were delicious! We finished the meal with fries and beer While I would not tell others to avoid the restaurant, because it might just have been an off night, i would hesitate to come back for sushi but would eat my money's worth in apps and the carpaccios. I would pass on the garlic edamame... Overall, try it for yourself. If you're in the area, looking for AYCE, and a chill vibe to be with a group, this is a solid choice. read more

Oji Sushi is located in the Triangle Square shopping mall in Costa Mesa. It is located right next to the east-side entrance of the parking garage off Newport Boulevard. The parking garage has many underground levels and is often very busy. I was lucky to grab one of the last few spaces on the second level down on an early Tuesday evening. The interior is trendy with lots of neon signs, cool wall décor, stylish seating, and an attractive bar. In addition to booth and half-booth/half-table seating, they also have two enclosed glass wall rooms for more intimate dining. We went for the all-you-can-eat dinner, which is $38.99 per person for the regular menu or $45.99 per person for the premium menu. We wanted to have the premium menu, but one person in our group of four was running late. We asked if we could have the premium menu and just get regular menu items until they arrived. We didn't think it would be a big deal, but our server said everybody had to be there at the beginning to order premium. We ordered a rainbow roll to hold us over until our friend finally arrived. We had various nigiri including salmon, tuna, albacore, yellowtail, sweet shrimp, scallop, eel, uni, masago, salmon egg, as well as soft shell crab, broiled and fried mussels, octopus, and shishito peppers. There were probably some other items I forgot. Everything was generally good, although a few pieces of tuna were a little on the dry side. Slow service the main issue. The restaurant wasn't very busy, and it seemed like there was only one server who I'm sure was trying her best. It often took quite a while for food to arrive, and several of our orders were mistakenly delivered to the table next to us. We thought we were done, and at the very end another large plate came out including some of the premium items we never got earlier. The meal was ok, but we probably wouldn't return. read more

Went for the lunch all you can eat today. Portions were good, price was fair, quality was decent, first round came out quick, but took around 25 minutes for any part of the second round to come. There were only 3 or 4 other tables. Also the place looks cool, but the blaring house music was a bit obnoxious, especially when it was a club remix version of a Celine Dion song. Best things were the karaage and the hand rolls. Overall, decent enough time. read more

Never disappoints. One of the top places for AYCE! They really have everything but the carpaccio is key. We had the snow roll & crunch roll aside from sashimi. Yumm. Already craving this as I write this post. The flavors really pack a punch & miso soup with edamame is an excellent touch! Servers were nice and the club lighting takes you away from the hot sun or away from a drab ordinary night. Highly recommend! read more

I mean just look at the plate of carpaccio! Literally the most beautiful presentation of carpaccio I've ever seen! Environment was very lively, and they played good music here. The mango cocktail was yummy, but pretty strong! I asked for more mango puree to weaken the alcoholic taste, and the staff was more than happy to accommodate! read more

Food was very good and sushi very fresh. We ordered a bento plate and a couple of rolls. I ordered a Salmon Sin Salad though and although it looked pretty, once I stirred the salad there was hardly any salmon skin, literally just a few pieces. I informed our waiter that they seem to have forgotten my salmon skin and he said he'll have the cook make some more. Thank you for making it right, I got a nice amount to add to my salad. The ambiance was trendy and full of customers. We've been at this location while it's been 3 different other sushi names and I'm happy to see they're continuing to be good. read more

Was able to try Oji Sushi & Bar during its happy hour, which is Sunday through Thursday from 3PM-6PM. My friends and I left pretty satisfied with the portion and quality of dishes respective to price. Our total (3 people) amounted to around $15 each, which is honestly a steal! Overall, I don't think Oji has the best sushi, but is a budget spot to hit if you are craving fish but don't want to break the bank. Items Ordered: - Spicy Crispy Tuna Rice - Yuzu Yellowtail - Angrytail Roll Ambience: Slightly elevated with dark lighting and modern interior. Plenty of seating with booth and table seating suitable for different sizes of parties. Service: Was a bit on the slower side even though the restaurant itself wasn't too busy. (I think they were short-staffed.) Of note, most of the staff is young and probably around high school to college aged. Parking: Located in a busy plaza but with plenty of free parking to find. Can be a bit difficult to locate as it is on the outer edges of the plaza. Overall Impression: Solid happy hour spot with excellent value at $15 per person. While it's not the highest quality sushi you'll find, the portions and prices make it a great option for casual dining with friends. Definitely worth adding to your rotation of happy hour spots in OC! read more

There is a parking garage right next door so it was easy to find a spot. Inside is decorated cyber punkish with neon signs & darker lighting. Service was fast & friendly. We got the AYCE deal which was very fair in price. Miso soup was good, gyoza was great, all the premium pieces were also good especially the premium salmon, the seared salmon/tuna were tasty, got tons of tuna nigiri & salmon nigiri which were okay, also had the yellowtail carpaccio which was tasty (it was better than the salmon carpaccio). Overall would come again. read more

We did AYCE and left with bellies full. The favorites of the night were: yellowtail sashimi, karaage, salmon nigiri, eel nigiri. The service was quick and friendly. Definitely a large space so it will accommodate large parties. Getting there is a little tricky, the entrance is on the outside of the building so going down the stairs from the second floor from yard house seemed like the most direct path read more

Decently Priced AYCE. We got the Premium menu because some people in our party wanted things off the Premium menu. Service was good, they explained their process very well. Their sushi was good, Salmon was a tad salty. The Truffle Salmon was amazing. Definitely a must try if you like Salmon. read more

Lunch had two options of premium vs regular. We chose the regular and we still had a lot of different options. The service was top notch, very knowledgeable about how process of ordering works. The restaurant itself had a great ambiance, music, tons of tables and spacious. The only con I had were the sushi quality and texture of certain rolls, some of the rolls tasted very mushy and overcooked. The creamy broccoli was amazing and baked mussels! Tons of variety from hand rolls to sushi rolls. read more

Came here for lunch AYCE, not tooo shabby. There are two different lunch prices one is premium and the other is regular. The ambiance is relaxing and the service is really good. Let's get to the food. The roles were actually pretty good but inconsistent. Some rolls they pack it with rice and some they don't. Overall flavors aren't bad. The disappointing roll is the Alaskan roll, the salmon is super mushy and they out so much sauce the rice fell apart. 2/5. The other rolls like slider, oji roll, caterpillar roll, and etc were all pretty good. Those get a 4.1/5. The appetizers for some reason were better than the rolls. The creamy broccolini was by far the BEST. Super charred and the sauce is addicting. Strong 5/5. The potatoes shrimp is unique. 4.9/5. The capprocini tuna, yellowfin, and salmon were all delicious. 4.2/5. The chicken katsu was super fatty, they definitely didn't take out the skin when they cooked it so the marsh was pure fat and oil. 1/5. Overall this is a one and done place for me. For a place like this I was expected to be wow off my seat. read more

Solid "American" style AYCE sushi roll, nigiri, and sashimi spot in Costa Mesa (among many others)... the staff is warm and welcoming and attentive, and explains the rules carefully. With a 90-minute time-limit, you have enough time to max out on all the premium items and trust me you will be stuffed to the brim within the first hour. Would return here again soon when time and stomach space permit! read more

Located in Newport Beach, Oji is the center of attention for high-quality sushi; it's my new favorite sushi restaurant! The AYCE menu at Oji is extensive, and I was stunned by the amount of options available for dinner. The fish to rice ratio for the nigiri was perfect, and the fish slices were thin and beautiful. The salmon and scallop were insanely fresh, and I cannot get enough of it. The seared salmon and yuzu salmon tasted impeccable, and the crispy spicy tuna was one of the best I have tried. The price point of $38.99 per person for AYCE dinner is one of the best deals, and I honestly think this place is perfection. read more

I'm a huge fan of crispy tuna rice, so once I saw that they had it, I went to quickly try it! It was pretty solid. You get 6 pieces for about $13-14. The crispiness of the rice was nice, they put a lot of avocado (compared to other places I've been), the fish was good and I enjoyed the chili oil sauce (I think that's what it's called). The service was great. It very chill and not that busy inside. We got seated immediately, but definitely could tell they were a little confused since we only got an appetizer. I'd come back to try the sushi (and get the crispy rice again). read more

The happy hour deals here are absolutely amazing and the quality of sushi was just as good. The beers were buy 1 get 1 for $1 and a lot of the special rolls were only $14-15 while the basic rolls were only $5!!!!! The service was quick and straight to the point. There is lots of seating and open room which is nice so you're not so close to the next tables. This will for sure become our new go to sushi spot, we are so happy we found this place. read more

I concur with the reviews that this is a good budget option, though my party of 2 still spent $100 including tip. My friend and I both went with the AYCE option. He ordered a beer which was flat and cool (not cold). We liked most of the selections we chose, though I'd recommend skipping the baked Alaskan roll--I only ate it because I didn't want to be charged for it. Service was ok. Ambience was ok. Floors were sticky. It'll do in a pinch but there are better options nearby. read more

Food was delish, service was great, and loved the overall ambiance of the place. Will be back soooonnn!!

Oji Sushi AYCE is definitely worth it if you're craving good-quality all-you-can-eat sushi. Everything we tried was very yummy, and the fish tasted fresh, which honestly makes all the difference. The rolls and nigiri came out consistently good, and nothing felt rushed or low quality like some AYCE spots. I highly recommend going for the premium option -- the variety is better and the quality really shows. For the price, it's such a solid deal, especially if you want to try a little bit of everything. Overall, a great spot for fresh sushi and a satisfying AYCE experience. Would definitely come back. read more

Tried this place and glad we did. It was happy hour we had the no rice roll, uni sushi, order of the smelt egg, spring rolls, they also have a full bar next to the sushi bar. Vibes are chill inside, servers were so helpful, and the food was fresh. We didn't have to wait long to get seated or for food and we had a movie after so they took care of us. Oh and they also have an AYCE SUSHI MENU Thank you read more

One of my favorite sushi spots in Costa Mesa!! You always get sat right away and are welcomed by the staff :) Kayla and Alyssa were our servers and they were so friendly and accommodating. :) We started off with a bottle of saké (thanks jay) and chili garlic edamame. The spicy tuna crispy rice is a must 10/10. Then we ordered the combo box with salmon teriyaki and cali roll. Always a pleasure dining here! If you're really hungry - order all you can eat for $39!! read more

Amazing food and service. Staff are very friendly. The food is fresh and good . Drinks were also amazing!!!

It was our first time here, and it definitely won't be the last! We didn't have a reservation, but were seated immediately. The restaurant offers two menu options: AYCE or à la carte. We chose to go à la carte, and here's what we tried: **Apps:** Garlic edamame and salmon carpaccio **Rolls:** The Ogi roll, the Las Vegas roll, and the baked scallop roll The garlic edamame was tasty, but it didn't have that "wow" factor. On the other hand, the salmon carpaccio was fresh and flavorful - really delicious! My favorite was the Las Vegas roll; it had a perfect balance of flavors. For drinks, we went with Soju, which paired nicely with the sushi without feeling too heavy. As for the baked scallop roll, it wasn't my favorite - I didn't realize it had quite a bit of cream cheese! However, my boyfriend absolutely loved it. Overall, the service was fantastic for our first visit. While it is on the pricier side, the ambiance was great, with amazing music setting the perfect vibe. We'll definitely be back! read more

If you are looking for quality sushi or sashimi this is your spot. To say the food was great would be bad, it was amazingly delicious. The service was good, could have been a bit better but I know when helping a large party it can be a bit hard. The place was well lit the music not too loud. I really enjoyed my experience here. I would definitely recommend. read more

I came here as a third wheel, without expecting much, since sushi places can be a hit or a miss. As an avid hater of imitation crabmeat, I'm always on the hunt to find the best rolls with either real crab (highly unlikely) or other fresh/baked options. I ordered the popcorn lobster/langostino roll, and it was one of the best I've had in a long time. This was a perfect choice. The only funny part is that the waitress mistakenly thought it contained surimi, and said substitutions would not be allowed. Thankfully, I know how to read the menu, even though, having previously been a server myself, I was never able to fully memorize any recipes completely by heart. The ambience was also very! There was a bright spotlight directly hitting the center of the table, giving it a dramatic look and making the food more appealing. Overhead atmosphere is dimmed lights, so it feels kind of like a nightclub. In any case, you should definitely come here for a date night or simply a night out with friends! read more

Usually a great experience here, was a third time here. We ordered a little more than usual on the 3rd round since we misunderstood the menu instructions. Menu says 5 plates per person per round , 3 rounds. The servers say it's unlimited orders per each round. I will say, ask the servers to explain the menu multiple times because the "unlimited" is for 1st round only? We mean to order 35 salmon right away but got a little misled but the menu and didn't order much until the end! Don't be like us lol this place has awesome salmon!! read more

Awesome service! Great food ! Great drinks ! Friendly staff ! We'll visit again 100% !

They charge for ice cream. It is not complimentary!! This server came to us with a check and asked if we would like to have ice cream. We never asked for dessert, and she was talking like it's free. Like any other restaurant, we each ordered one for each of us. It came out on a plate with one scoop and chocolate drizzled on top. $20 for 5 plates. Was not even worth it, and I hate how she added to the receipts at the end, so we can't even cancel the order. Food: Food is great, but they're really slow. We dine in the afternoon with about 5 tables taken. But it takes 20-30 minutes for each order to come out. Will not come back here again. read more

I just went here for the first time. thinking ok this area the restaurant would be good. I was wrong. fish not fresh at all. uni and other fish I got taste so bad and not fresh at all. only good thing there was the chicken cheese katsu and chicken teriyaki. it's sad that it's not good but we have to finish our food order. my tummy started to hurt and I knew it's from the fish. read more

Good place to grab lunch or dinner if you're looking for quick sushi and specialty rolls. This place offers the option for All you can eat for about $39.99 which includes everything on the menu (exception: carpaccio is limited to two orders per person). You get up to four rounds but honestly we were not able to go beyond the first round. Here what we tried. 1. Sushi: bluefin tuna, salmon, albacore, seared tuna, squid, and spicy scallop. Each order comes with two nigiri. Quality of the fish was good and the rice wasn't overwhelming (although could have had a little more seasoning to the rice). 2. Carpaccios: salmon, yellowtail, tuna, and seared tuna. Very good. Always one of my faves. Must order! 3. Premium rolls: Snow White (cream cheese, avocado, cucumber roll topped with baked tilapia), hot night roll (spicy scallop, avocado roll topped with spicy tuna and a generous amount of crunchy onions), red dragon roll (spicy tuna, cucumber roll topped with avocado and tuna sashimi), Ghost rose roll (spicy tuna, avocado, shrimp tempura roll)....rolls were just mediocre. Would prob just stick with the sushi and carpaccio with sake the next time. 4. Appetizer: fried oysters (meh), gyoza (meh). Wouldn't waste your tummy space with these read more
