    First time here. This place is the best place ever. Amazing sushi, food but most of all the service. Hong lee is the best! Fun place. The chef and owners are so generous. This will definitely be our go to place.

    This is by far my favorite sushi spot in the OC. Everything is fresh and they have a great selection for nigiri. Amazing customer service from Chef and his wife. I've been introducing a lot of my friends to this place and they loveeee it!

    Such an amazing place when you're craving freshhh sushi. Service was incredible, our server was so sweet and friendly! Everything tasted amazing. Interior is cozy all the while being roomy as well.

    The service here is exceptional! The menu has a wide array of high quality fish. The food came out quickly and presentation was beautiful. I especially liked the toro with caviar. The staff was so friendly and it was such a highlight of dining here. At the end of the meal we got coconut peanut ice cream that was perfect.

    A dessert with peanuts. Not overly sweet-- so perfect

    I came in for dinner and sat at the bar and ordered the omakase--everything was incredible. Each piece tasted fresh, clean, and well-balanced, with nothing overly saucy or overwhelming. They didn't have sweet shrimp that night, so it was replaced with lobster, which felt like such a treat. I didn't catch the lady's name who help served me (so I'll call her Ms.), but she was absolutely wonderful--so kind, attentive, such a vibe, contagious laughter, and full of great recommendations. She brought out a miso soup with a twist: hints of chili oil (it seems) and garlic with fresh tofu. It wasn't grainy at all and was incredibly comforting and flavorful. The chef also offered me monkfish to try. While the texture and cut were a little different for me, the bite itself was still enjoyable. I then asked for a special I had seen in another post--foie gras, uni, and black cod--and it was AMAZING. Easily the highlight of my dinner. For my last course, I asked the chef to surprise me, and he served shima aji, which once again did not disappoint. When I was finishing up, Ms. asked if I wanted dessert and checked to see if I like peanuts nut, then brought out something like a coconut sweet cream ice cream. It instantly brought back nostalgic childhood flavors--like chè in ice cream form. Not too sweet and the perfect way to end the meal. Everyone was incredibly kind and attentive, and I truly enjoyed my entire experience. I've wanted to try this place when it was opened in Garden Grove, so I'm happy they reopened and moved closer to me. I will definitely be back.

    Everything was amazing! Each plate was carefully plated with beautiful small details and made with love. Even the ginger tasted better. Very good quality sushi used. We went during dinner rush with only one server, so it was a little bit slow at first getting our order taken. However food came out quickly and the server tried her best to be accommodating and to check on us regularly. They gave us free edamame and dessert as well. The blood oranges they gave were very sweet and refreshing. Will definitely be back!

    Red Sake honestly blew me away! I needed to plan a birthday dinner for my friend and he requested sushi, but I knew the places in my area were either too small or too expensive for our group. So I took a chance and called Red Sake and made a reservation over the phone, I even called the next day to add an extra person to make a total of 12 people and they accommodated me no problem! Once we arrived, the ambiance and the service was amazing. Our server was such a delight and all the food and drinks came out so quickly and everything was delicious! I ordered the albacore dream roll and the seared albacore on top was so tender! They even heard us singing happy bday to our friend and after we had finished our food, they brought him an ice cream with a sparkler candle and even brought free ice cream for the whole table! So impressed with this place and my friends kept telling me what a great spot I found! Would recommend this spot to anyone and honestly can't wait to go back!

    Amazing fish and service! They're so sweet and welcoming, they made us feel like regulars. Prices are so reasonable for the quality.

    Red Sake's back ! On the corner of Brookhurst and Mcfadden -lots of parking might I add. You can see the restaurant from the street as you drive on Brookhurst. Dined on Wednesday, no wait. Opted for omakase at the bar ($65pp, 8 courses). Complimentary spicy edamame. Appetizers: Ordered calamari and 6 kumamoto oysters. I highly* recommend the oysters. So good, perfectly briny and of course small. Not a fan of big oysters so this is just a personal preference. Next time, will do a dozen oysters mmm 8 course omakase (not the correct order): Scallops. Yellowtail. Salmon belly. Cod. Tuna. Ankimo. Toro. Kampachi. Everything was so good ! Just how I remembered it. Chef Alberto was so kind and attentive. He even let us try Japanese uni -the last time I had this was 3 years ago in New York sighs. Good Japanese uni just hits differently. I'll order this next time ! Owner Chi Hong was so funny and kind as well -overall a very enjoyable experience. I even got complimentary coconut ice cream ! It was reminiscent of those durian, mung bean, coconut and red bean vietnamese ice cream sticks that used to sell for $0.50 long ago. I asked if I could to go since I really wanted my dad to try it. Chi Hong was so gracious and even added more scoops. ...That made my inner child really happy. Haven't felt inclined to write a review in a while as most dining experiences have been subpar but Red Sake was just too amazing. A lot of friends have been curious about Red Sake and are now excited to try. Not a paid review or anything, I've always loved Red Sake and I'm just happy there's a closer, amazing sushi place :) Notes: -Fridays/Saturdays, live DJs -plenty of parking -accepts catering -does nyotaimori

    This place is so good! Such a vibe. Clean restaurant, bathrooms and tables. The service is absolutely amazing with our waiter. The food was also top notch. We will be coming back!

    I really love this place. The sushi is really good for what they offer. I love our server; she's really funny and feels like your favorite older sister. Her laugh is infectious. The decorations are cute and feels like a themed restaurant. This is the second time I've been here and enjoy my dinner experience both times. Our server always gives us free ice cream at the end and it's really good too. I love it here and I wish more people will come here just to support them.

    Place is amazing just another level from basic sushi places they actually cater to the customer with there huge selection that you don't get everywhere free edamame free soup he even made me some fried garlic with salt and it was delicious the toro is terrific and the service is great I will be back

    As a sushi lover, I'm always on the look out for new sushi restaurants near me. This restaurant…read moreisn't new, they've actually been here for 10 years but they just introduced a new all you can eat menu which is what intrigued me and my boyfriend to come try it out! The price for AYCE is $37.95 which is pretty fair, it included limited special items such as sashimi, sweet shrimp, jumbo scallop, amberjack, salmon belly, and more. Although the special items were limited, having one of each is enough given the large variety on the menu. (Pro tip, come with a big group of friends so you can have the pieces from those who don't want their portion) Everything was super fresh and the presentation was beautiful. You can tell the chef puts a lot of effort into every plate. My favorite items were the salmon belly, sweet shrimp sushi, and baked green mussels. So buttery and delicious! We ended our meal with the fried banana ice cream. I thought the fried banana would be heavy after a big meal, but it didn't feel that way at all. It was yummy, creamy and refreshing. It's hard not to feel heavy after having ayce but luckily we ordered just the right amount of everything! The restaurant is small but offers a good amount of seating from tables to a sushi bar and even a small patio. The parking lot is small since it shares a parking lot with a few other businesses, but i've never had a problem finding parking here. The service was absolutely amazing and genuinely made our entire dining experience better, our server Stella and Chef Min were the best! The restaurant was empty when we got there but I really hope that changes soon because this is one of my new favorite sushi restaurants in OC!

My partner & I opted for the regular menu instead of Ayce. We got the mango cut rolls, the dragon roll & the crunch rolls, which was all good with fresh fish. My personal favorite was the mango roll, which we choose salmon as the choice of fish to go with the roll. I like how you're allow to choose which fish option you can get. Customer service was very fast, since we were the only one dinning there during afternoon hours. The place was empty, but hopefully not for long. Please support mom & pop shops.

I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants over the years, and this place easily ranks in my Top 3. Every piece was exceptionally fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. I have to admit, I'm usually not a fan of tuna. But the moment I tasted the tuna here, I thought, "Have I been eating fake tuna all my life?" It was that good--clean, rich, buttery, and unlike anything I've had before. Another pleasant surprise was the California roll. I've eaten countless California rolls, but this was the first time I had one made with real crab instead of imitation crab. The difference was incredible, and I was genuinely impressed. The restaurant itself is stunning. The interior design is elegant and thoughtfully done. What I initially thought was wallpaper turned out to be artwork by a renowned art director, which made me appreciate the space even more. And the fish-shaped light fixtures hanging from the ceiling are absolutely beautiful. Finding a truly outstanding sushi restaurant that I can keep coming back to is rare, and I'm so happy I found this place. This is the kind of sushi spot that turns first-time visitors into regulars. Highly recommended!

    Himizu is an unreal AYCE experience in Westminster…read more I was visiting from out of town and some of my local friends wanted to eat at this spot and it did not disappoint. I didn't know what to expect but even if I did, I can say that it would have exceeded those expectations. We had a reservation for 7 and were able to get seated promptly. We got the VIP option and once the food started, it never stopped coming. What you get for $75 was quite literally insane, in the best way possible. Since we came a bit close to closing time, the servers didn't waste any time and just brought out everything that was offered on that menu since we didn't have any dietary restrictions. From oysters to meats to sushi to lobster tails, this was a feast that we kept thinking about for days after. Everything was delicious and would definitely come back again. Make sure to come hungry if you make a trip to Himizu!

There's no windows so not much to look at besides the TV or people. We ordered the VIP AYCE menu but the lobster tails and cuts of meat weren't really worth it. The sashimi was decent and so were the colossal prawns but we found the premium cuts of meat to be tastier. You can find fresher cuts of sashimi at an actual sushi place so I recommend focusing more on the meat. Side dishes and appetizers were a little too heavy and lacking, so we mostly ate wagyu and prawns. The green tea tasted like hot tap water which really puts the "fusion" in Japanese fusion. The ice cream at the end was tasty though. Overall, I'd stick to Mr. BBQ or X-Fish for AYCE.
