Tried this place on a Sunday night. Patio seating was nice and service was great. The shrimp boat was by far my favorite thing. Great spot for a date night without leaving town! read more

It's been a while ever since I tried this place during Pandemic. Remembered the food was surprisingly good last time, so tried for the second time for takeout. Yes, what I remember was right. This place has excellent foods. Very delightful! Do recommend this restaurant. read more

Sashimi - Sunrise Roll, Sushi Nacho, Hana Roll, Sushi Combo - Japanese Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I've been here so many times and have tried so many items on the menu and it has all been delicious. Very friendly staff (one of the sushi chefs even gave me cooking advice for eggplant once!). If I had to pick, I'd say my favorites are the sushi nachos and veggie crunch roll, but there are many close seconds. Also, the stuffed peppers - y read more

Let me start this review by saying that I love family-owned, mom and pop restaurants. This place is that. I really, really, really, want to love this place. It has good reviews, close to my house. I was hoping this could be my new go to place for sushi. I was very disappointed. I ordered yellow tail, blue fin tuna, toro, uni, and amber jack sushi. Everything was average at best. The ingredient that makes or break sushi is the rice. I was not impressed. This rice tasted like it came out of those sushi making machines you see at the big chain, all-you-can-eat places. The fish was not in the best shape. I should have known because the display case where the fish is stored was messy and unorganized. The staff seemed to be overwhelmed as well. The whole operation looked disorganized. I'll give them a break on that since most restaurants are having a difficult time adjusting to the reopening post COVID. My bill with tip (no alcohol) came to about $90. I don't mind paying for quality. This was not it. The staff is really nice and friendly. The chef who made my order even gave me a couple extra pieces. Like I said, I really wanted to like this place. It was extremely disappointing to have had such an average experience (at best). I won't be coming back. read more

Best sushi in town. Excellent staff and quality of fish. Been coming here for years and will continue to do so. Thanks Sashimi!

Delicious sushi and super warm, friendly, and welcoming service! We often speak to the owners. They are so kind! The environment is great with ample seating in a clean restaurant. There is a great variety of menu items to choose from. This is our favorite sushi place in the area! read more

This is the best little local restaurant in town! Great service great sushi chefs great everything.

They have moved to their new location and I'm still giving it 5 stars. Family owned, high quality food and service... for those who complained about the ramen, yes they offer that but it's not their specialty. Do your research and go elsewhere for ramen, but don't rate a sushi restaurant poorly when theirs is the best around. read more

We have been getting the Veg crunch roll for years and as a vegetarian it is the best sushi in town. The sushi is only second to the service they provide, particularly Steve who goes above and beyond to make sure all his customers have a great time. read more

This is a great local spot for quick, hi quality sushi. The Nigiri is awesome (salmon, toro and yellow tail are some of my favorites). Also if they are on point, the oyster shooter is awesome! We have had 1 REALLY GOOD and 1 not good. Worth trying again. Service and ambiance are comfortable and they always have NBA on the tube so I'm sold! read more

I was here for lunch and I really enjoyed their food, the sushi chef owner was very personable and even gave me a treat. I love places like this. The owner is minding the store and my tea is always full. I took one star off because, maybe my misunderstanding as when I order omakase, I am used to being served one sushi at a time. So when I got my order all 7 pieces where on my place instead of one by one. I appreciate this place and will come back. read more

As soon as we entered, we were greeted by several smiling faces. The entire staff was very kind. This place only offers sushi or sashimi, no plates or bento boxes. There is a good variety of specialty sushi rolls, even ones without rice. The sushi and sashimi options are pretty standard. The rolls we ordered were good, but they were topped sauce. All of them add way too much sauce. I was turned off by them because of that. read more

Always a five-star rating. I've been coming over here for over 4 years and they still serve the best sushi I'm happy they moved to a new location and are still in the local area of Lake Forest. This sushi place is so clean on the inside also. As an added bonus is it's a mom and pop shop. The sushi place is the only place that I know that serves the creamiest and delectable sushi. I asked them how do you get your sushi so fresh and they said they go themselves to pick out the fish. They hand pick the fish and they make sure it meets their strict quality standards. My favorite items to get are salmon, yellowtail, and Ono white tuna. Lightly dipped in a mixture of wasabi and the green top soy sauce. Paired with Sapporo in a cold glass. My favorite Sushi items are all Ama-ebi and Uni. The Uni taste very smooth and creamy almost like a high end peanut butter. The Ama-ebi is shrimp so fresh its still alive! The rolls are very good too but you'll have to experience it for yourself! read more

I had to 2-3 times before I giving an honest review for this place...The sushi is good. I do recommend the salmon sashimi is the freshest I've eaten in this area so far. Priced at $10 its possibly about the expected avg price for sashimi. The service was a hit and miss upon each visit. The first two visits I'd say was much better service than the 3rd visit. I'd assumed the Baked Scallop would take some time to prepare. My roommate and I will agree the Shrimp Lovers roll is good. I will say the Caribbean Roll is better because it adds a nice kick to your tongue. However, I believe the prices here are a bit overpriced in comparison to awesome sushi restaurants I've eaten elsewhere (Oki Doki in Hermosa Beach in particular). At this place, prices ranged from $10 - 15 per order. While other places range I found better were less than $10 or less..... The ambiance here is contemporary yet decorative with the glowing star ceiling and the rich Japanese decor throughout the whole restaurant. The outside seating has bamboo sticks to give privacy from the rest of the outside. Ideal for a casual date. However, when large crowds come in, not much romantic conversation can be discussed . I will come here again if there seems to be no better sushi in the area....The bill can come up to $30 a person including the tip.....so at this time of economy. My visits here will be less frequent than others.... read more

I have dined in here once and ordered take. Out once and both times the food was very good, well balanced and good value. Moreover the quality is top notch here. They offer unique items and nice twist on Japanese classics. Service is great and parking isn't an issue. Overall great value for the money and quality sushi read more

I've been going to this place since they were at their old place. I went in tonight for take out for this first time in a while. Food as always was great but the smell in the place was HORRIBLE!!! I mean, backed up sewer bad. I wouldn't be able to sit down and eat if I wanted to because it was highly unappetizing. I'm wondering if the owners have become nose blind to the smell. I hope they make a change soon because I'm probably not the only one that thinks a restaurant shouldn't smell like a bathroom. read more

Food is amazing. Service is great and fast. They are very friendly and very accommodating.

Pretty fresh fish and nice service. They also give a stamp card for orders. Minus one star because I found a hair in my ginger with my to-go order :/ I think I'll give them another chance. read more

Chef was so gross. Band aid on the face and sweating and no mask and spitting while talking

Due to the Governor's orders, Sashimi is take out only. Please continue to patronize this wonderful establishment. Thursday we called in an order to pick up, it was fresh and flavorful, as if we were eating in. They are establishing a system in the restaurant to assist in social distancing. Please, as you are able, continue to show your support of our Mom and Pop proprietors. They truly deserve our continued support to assure they are around after the crisis. read more

I am such a sucker. I've had a lot of different sushi but I don't know what behooved me to order a bowl of ramen. I was craving ramen so I decided to go to this spot. I ordered a ramen and a Spider hand roll. Foolish me. My ramen definitely tasted like the Nong Shim Ramen that you could buy a box of at a Korean market. Yes I am pretty sure they use the same. Instead of waiting to get home and buying a box that has 20 of these ramen for $8 I paid $9 for this one bowl of ramen...shame on me. Oh well, at least the spider roll was not too bad. Nice. read more

This is one of the best sushi spots in the area! Always call in for to go and they are quick to get our order ready. During lockdown they had an easy pick up process. You have to try the Hana roll, sunrise roll, and onion albacore roll. They are not too spicy but have lots of flavor! Oh yes I forgot the amazing roll is just what the name says AMAZING. If you like soy paper you will definitely enjoy this one. read more

Very delicious and fresh food! Customer service was great as well! We had our little dog with us as well and were kindly escorted to their very nice patio that has natural gas heaters to keep you warm. A must to try is the Deep Fried Philly roll and the calamari love roll. Food was so good that forgot to take photos! We will be definitely back! read more

I'm just in for the day and love it! Food is amazing too, never tasted anything like it. Indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend. read more

This is one of our favorite sushi spots, went with friends last night around 5:30 and sadly the service was horrific! They were concentrating more on takeout orders than they were the people inside the restaurant. I am happy they are busy, but customers inside should always come first!! There were three people at the bar and one other table already served and no one else in the restaurant when we entered. No exaggeration but our food took at least 45 minutes to 1 hour to be delivered to our table. Other customers who came in after actually got their food before us. At one point my wife actually got up and self served the tray to our table as it's sat there with no one delivering it. That being said all of our entrees were excellent in taste. We will be going back again and hopefully this was just a bad night. read more

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The sushi is tasty and fresh. The restaurant is clean and inviting with plenty of natural light. Most of all, the service was wonderful and the staff/chefs were pleasant and enjoyable. We will be back often to partake in the whole experience. read more
