Opus Sushi has been serving guests for 12 years with its incredible food and warm, friendly service. This family-owned gem may look casual from the outside, but don't let that fool you--inside, they're dishing out some fantastic dishes and cocktails. The service is genuinely friendly and attentive. The ambiance is relaxed, making it a nice spot for a casual night out. The sashimi here is premium fish and so beautifully presented. I started with the Kumamoto Oysters, which were sweet, mildly briny, and incredibly creamy with a hint of nuttiness. The Toro Bowl featured rich, buttery tuna that melted in my mouth. I also tried the Oyster with Uni and Caviar, and whoa - what a luxurious combo. The briny, creamy richness was fab. The Mixed Tempura with a perfectly crisp exterior provided a nice crunch with every bite of shrimp and veggies. Uni Pasta was a revelation--creamy, savory, and slightly sweet, it left me wishing I could eat it every day. The Rainbow Roll was a pretty feast for both my eyes and the palate, with its colorful array of sashimi over a California roll. I was uncertain and uncomfortable about trying the Grilled Kobe Beef Tongue, but it was surprisingly tender and rich, especially delicious with the mustardy sauce and I'm still shocked that I enjoyed it! To wash it all down, I enjoyed a selection of cocktails. The Yuzu Martini was refreshing with its crisp, bright citrus notes, while the my friend's Michelada offered a savory tang with just the right amount of spice. The Passionfruit Hi-Ball was bubbly and tropical, and the Mojito was zesty and minty. For something classic, the Old Fashioned was smooth yet bold, with a hint of warmth. This was a bit too strong for me especially being my first time trying it. If you haven't been yet, you'll wonder why you didn't come in sooner! I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. read more

Came here for dinner. We got here at 6:50pm, and the restaurant was half full. We ordered salmon and yellowtail sashimi, and a spider roll. It took 40 minutes for the food to be ready. They have enough chef and staff, but I am not sure what was the reason for them to take so long to serve the food as the restaurant was not even busy. Hope management can adjust and make some improvement on their food preparation time. read more

I wanted to do walk-in at Izakaya Tonchinkan but it was fully booked. Opted to eat at Opus Sushi instead since it was close by. The restaurant is very spacious and had picture menu on iPad. My overall experience was decent! Half dozen Kumamoto Oysters (5/5): Small and sweet oysters that tasted great with ponzu. I'm glad that shucked it clean so that I'm not eating bits and pieces of shell. Negi Toro (5/5): Combination of minced tuna and green onion. It was super fresh. Blue crab (2/5): Disappointing because it was packed with mayonnaise. I barely tasted any crab meat. I wouldn't order this here again. read more

The food is Michelin star approved for sure! Service is so attentive and I love the fact the waitress thought of refills for our kids and we got that gorgeous orange plate for the kiddos without asking. Everything is so fresh and the plate designing is marvelous. The feel to the whole place is nice with shark toys to have the kids entertained from giving the kids toys to keep. Most definitely coming back time after time. High quality food with great service and ambiance that delivers. read more

We came here for a weekday lunch. There was no wait. Lots of parking spaces. Their lunch menu is considered on the pricey side. Average to about $30 per person so I think that explains why there isn't a crowd here. Fish quality is quite good. I would recommend the white dragon roll and BCR roll. Lunch combo portion is good size. Salad dressing is not japanese style so not really to my liking. The lighting inside was a bit dark for lunch. That's also the reason why all my pictures looked purple. It's a spacious restaurant so I think it's good for large party. Service is good. The waitress did come by to refill water. read more

This sushi place doesn't look like much when you drive by but don't let it's appearance fool you! After reading a bunch of Yelp reviews about how great the sushi is here I finally decided to check it out. I honestly can't recall how long this place as been opened but I've lived in this area all my life and driven by this plaza almost daily and have never bothered to stop and try the place out until now. If it weren't for the stellar reviews I've probably would still be driving right by Opus. The sushi here is fresh and has a a very clean taste to it, no sauce is really needed when the fish is high quality. My entire family liked all the dishes we ordered. From the chicken udon (best udon ever) to the fresh raw oysters, to the delicious rolls, everything was yummy. The sashimi bowls here are also amazing. And the best thing is there is mochi donuts right next door. :) read more

I'm not a roll person, but the Kobe Beef Roll is amazing! It's the best roll I've ever had! I love it so much! Highly recommend! All sashimi(raw fish) are very fresh and tasty! The Live Sweet Shrimp were still moving when they were served! Grilled Beef Tongue is Wagyu as well, so yummy! They have Cocktails and Beer Happy Hour(5:30pm-6:30pm)right now, like buy two get one free! If you like drinking, just go!!! The owner and servers are so nice, they introduced their food in detail carefully! The environment is clean and chill! I will go back again！ read more

If you want to wait a long time, come here. They will not disappoint in making you wait for your food. 30 mins minimum. Unapologetically. Also, the owner is very cocky. I think he should close down again and just merge with KIYO to humble himself. It was way better when the two joined forces. OPUS will NOT survive by itself with that type of attitude and service. read more

You like sushi? Live near Arcadia? This place is definitely worth checking out. Everything was banging good & so fresh. This is located in the same plaza as Ding Tea so there's a parking lot for parking. Gets pretty packed though so get here early if you don't wanna wait long for parking. Everything was fresh here, my favorite ones were salmon and tuna. I've been to a decent amount of sushi places that uses fake tuna, and I'm glad this one wasn't one of them. Really depends on what kind of fish you like, but everything I ordered was fresh and good. It is a little bit pricier than other places considering the prices vs the portions. Overall, definitely will come back to try out other things on the menu. read more

This place is only for their fish and sashimi. Their combination plates are not as good as the prices lead you to believe. The chicken teriyaki was a little tough. The beef teriyaki looks like thin slices of Shabu Shabu. Overall, the highlight was the tempura. I would order the yellow tail fish. Their Chirashi Bowl was so so. For the prices you would expect larger portion or Fire grilled marks on the steak. read more

The food is fantastically delicious in Opus, cost at a fair price. I found very minimum errors in the food, causing a five-star rating. Below rice the Sashimi Mix was a bit stale and hard to consume. Opus's service is amazing. Their workers are so kind, and consistently checking on the customers. Their ambience is just. There was some noisy customers, but still equitably quiet to enjoy your meal. read more

I quite like the food here. The food is rich and delicious. But the only minus point here is that the staff member's attitude is really unpleasant. I imagine that when I ordered food she was quite upset but I didn't understand why. It makes me quite sad. There was another young man as well, I felt like they didn't respect the guests, or they were upset about something I don't know. But I saw only one very cute employee there, he was polite and happy with everyone. The way he talked to the guests next to him made me know he was very kind. read more

Ordered the Chirashi delivery and was looking forward with all the good reviews. I was disappointed there was only 3 types sashimi. The best was the Tuna, which surprised me. It was very fresh and had a wonderful taste. I feel this is rare compared to other restaurants. However, my typical favorite, Salmon, was very tasteless...perhaps because there was no fat? Not sure why it wasn't that good. The other four slices of fish was my least favorite at any restaurant, which I think it was snapper. It was fresh, but also tasteless and some what slimey, typical for this fish. For $32, I was expecting atleast some yellow tail. I liked how it had some spicy versions of fish, so that was good. Overall, it was okay, but everything was definitely fresh. read more

I'd been wanting to try higher end sushi for a whole and found this local place. The service is good and the place is clean. Got a bunch of different sushi pieces including the premium stuff and every single thing was good! The only issue was people don't close the door so it would get cold really fast so we had to keep asking for it to be closed. Also prices are high so be prepared. But it's worth it! read more

Opus Sushi is a solid spot in the 626 area for a good selection of sushi and sashimi dishes! I ordered the deluxe chirashi bowl after being recommended it by the waiter and my friend and it was great! The bowl had a nice selection of fish from salmon and blue-fin tuna to the uni and shrimp which all tasted nice and fresh! The portion size feels right for a forty-dollar item and definitely filled me up to a point where I felt satisfied! The restaurant itself is spacious and wasn't crowded when I went, there shouldn't be a problem with trying to come with a relatively large party. It is a bit dim and lit by blue led lights which gives it good ambience as a dinner spot rather than a mid-afternoon lunch spot, but honestly come whenever. Service was not an issue at all, the servers were very attentive and we got our food in a decent amount of time for the prep that goes into cutting and plating the bowl. Overall, I'd say Opus Sushi is a good spot to go to for a nicer dinner or even a casual lunch when you are really craving some sashimi or sushi! read more

Went today with 4 adults and two kids. I noticed they had a sushi and sashimi for 4-6 people. We ordered that for our party and when it came out, it looked like a meal for one person. I questioned the waiter and asked him if there was more food coming. He told me no, you only ordered one of these. I responded with, why would I order more than one when the menu said 4-6 people. It's ridiculous that they would label something for 4-6 when it clearly doesn't feed that many. We ended up having to order more rolls and left extremely disappointed. The service is horrible. The waiter ignores and pretends he does not hear. The place smells like disinfectant. read more

Food is good. However, servers are extremely rude. They ignored us every time when we called them. We told them no wasabi in sushi. But they still added wasabi in it. So i didn't give any tip at the end, It really made me unhappy. We were chased by a waiter when we leaving, to give them tips. and I said no cuz I didn't get a good service. That guy said you need to, because it's America. Then I denied him again. And he threatened us: "if you don't give tips, don't come here next time. I have right to reject you." His disrespect really pissed me off, and I came back the restaurant to find their manager, but there's actually no manager in this restaurant. That's why waiters are rude there , cuz no one supervises. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant if you love sashimi. It is very fresh but I think it's a bit on the pricey side. They offer a wide variety of fish, both raw and grilled. They have a sushi bar and indoor seating. No outside seating available. The servers were attentive and came by a few times to refill our hot tea. Unlike other Japanese restaurants that use porcelain or ceramic cups, tea was served in disposal paper cups. Finding a parking space was difficult as there are other restaurants in the same plaza. Some street parking is available. read more

Food is ok, depend on the chief. Some days you get a larger portion. The waitress is not good.

I got the deluxe sashimi dinner ($50) and it was average. I was running around town at 7pm to pick up sashimi from the markets, but the selection was slim so I gave Opus a try. The quality was average, I was expecting fattier pieces for the price, but not a single piece of belly. It came with about 18 pieces of fish, 3 salmon, 5 tuna, 4 yellowtail?, 3 fluke?, cup of ikura, 1 amaebi, 2 uni, and I think 2 small scoops of spicy scallop and spicy tuna. I can't say I enjoyed the spicy scoops, it seems like filler in a sashimi mix... The slices of fish were averagely thin. I probably won't return, nothing was outstanding and I didn't get the head of my amaebi! read more

Sushi: Kinmedai 4/5: Great balance, but a little pricey for what it was Salmon 5/5 Yellowtail belly 5/5 Ootoro 5/5: Super fatty, melts in the mouth. I think for personal preference I prefer chutoro just to have a little more substance! But this is excellent quality Hand rolls: Unagi 5/5: LOADED with fresh eel Blue crab 5/5: Stuffed with crab, light and flavorful. A delight Appetizers: Calamari 4/5: Generous portions of squid legs! Served with lemon and mayo Akimo 4/5: Very tender pate with great ponzu. Not fishy. Wish it came with a chip to spread on Agedashi tofu 3/5: Slightly too large of tofu so not as much was coated with the batter. Dashi was delicious read more

I used to come here at least 3-4 a month because their prices are reasonable. I have been coming here for years until my family and I got food poisoning from eating their chirashi bowl. It was the worst for my mom because she had diarrhea and vomit throughout the night. I'm just really disappointed at this place. If you know your fish went bad and the fact that you still serve it to your customers trying make a few bucks off them is totally unacceptable and unethical. If you claim that you're an excellent sushi chef there no way you can't tell the fish was spoiled! You know how long that piece of fish have been in your refrigerator. Your place deserves zero stars!!! I'm never coming back. read more

Had an incredible dining experience here! The sashimi was super fresh and absolutely top-notch, with the sweet ebi being my favorite. I also tried beef tongue for the first time. It was cooked to perfection, super tender and bursting with flavor. Oh and don't get me started on the fresh oyster. I've never liked oysters but these.. AMAZING! Slightly briny, savory and earthy and so fireee. They also got some pretty decent drinks (CAUTION: they were unexpectedly strong) and the servers were nice as well. read more

This sushi place is okay. The only good thing is their lunch prices are decent. Their sushi is not melt in your mouth like. I had ordered mix sashimi and hand rolls that came with it and a salad and soup. My sibling had the chirashi bowl and we also ordered house special roll. Anyway when I placed my order, the waiter was like hand roll? You sure hand roll. Hand roll is the roll and you eat with your hand. I said yeah. He's like okay hand roll right? Lol I had no idea until I got my order. That thing was crap. It looked nothing like sushi inside. It was mushy like mashed potatoes and orange. It looked and tasted nothing like salmon. I was expecting some diced salmon but was very disappointed there. No wonder the waiter kept saying are you sure hand roll? No good, that's why! Lol Lucky my mixed sashimi was good. Their house special roll tasted like my mixed sashimi just cut up and also the chirashi bowl too. Everything was looking the same and tasted the same. Average sushi. I used their restroom and the entire floor was sticky. I came out the restroom and noticed the waitress walking away and I could hear her shoe stepping on the sticky floor going into the kitchen. I have gone here twice because I live near here and tried different things. Also check in on Yelp and receive a free miso soup or ice cream. read more

If you want a big seafood and sushi experience with great drinks and food made with precision, this is the place to be. The portions are huge. They make the customers feel like royalty. They have special alcohol imported with good taste. The atmosphere is super chill. The sushi chefs are great. Each dish was a burst of flavor. There was a big tuna head on the counter, meaning they make their tuna fresh. They make their shrimps fresh also. They were still moving when eating. It doesn't get any fresher than that. The kobe beef was thee best ive taste so far. The presentation of the good was beautiful. The scallop with uni caviar was so good, it was well prepared. For sure coming back. The manager was very helpful on helping us pick what were the best picks on the menu. This place was amazing. This place is perfect for big groups and always intimate dates. They have Happy Hour in August. Buy two cocktails and beers and get one free. There is also a Today Special at the Opus Sushi is variable and is determined by the ingredients arriving on the day. You can enjoy different food from day to day, such as hairy crabs. read more

After 3 hours I finished my dinner, I felt nausea, then at midnight my lower body was numb. I couldn't get out of bed the next day neither my boyfriend. We had an elderly and a toddler home, luckily I ordered them cooked dishes, so both of them were fine. That was a terrible experience. I'm definitely not coming back. read more

Kens a good dude and I've followed him from another sushi restaurant in Alhambra to his own place here in Arcadia. He has some good sushi and I enjoy his charisma he has and the quality of fish he deploys. He has some days where he slices up a whole tuna to showcase his workmanship. His place is good for bar seating as well as large group get togethers. I personally like all the Toros I can stuff down my throat. The premium chirashi bowl is a good item to get if you like variety and on a budget. The most entertainment is sitting at the bar and conversing with Ken and his team of sushi chefs. Parking sucks at his strip mall as well so park on the street or take up the bowling alleys parking lot across the street. read more
