Customer service was amazing and very attentive. All four of the rolls we got were amazing but I think the bluefin tuna Cajun roll was the best roll I've ever had. Everything was clean and brought in a timely manner. Their 3 rolls for 40$ were perfect and everything was reasonably priced. read more

James is amazing. my favorite place to go get sushi w the family! Sushi is fresh and service is friendly!

The food was amazing absolutely perfect. Superman burrito is my favorite. Amazing service people they were so nice. 10 out of 10!

If I could give them 100 stars I would. The sushi is fantastic and price is great. But the service today was above and beyond. My son got sick at the table (ate too fast or something) and they could not have been more kind. Wonderful people. read more

My wife and I visited Sky Bay Sushi about two weeks ago with our kids, and it was hands down the best sushi we've ever had. James made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we walked in, and his hospitality really elevated the whole experience. My wife is usually pretty cautious with sushi--she tends to stick to a California roll--but this time she branched out and tried a few different fish. She couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was and is already asking when we can go back. We also ordered udon ramen for our daughter, and she finished every last bite, which says a lot. If you go, don't miss the baked scallop roll--it's easily one of the best we've had anywhere. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

This sushi place was amazing. I don't know when I will be back down here so I thought I would be brave and give it a five now. I didn't expect the business to be so small, but luckily it was not a packed house. A friend and I met up and I told the employee her reservation and she took me to our table while I waited for her to arrive. There is a nice little special where you can order two rolls for a discounted price (I forgot what it was) or three rolls for $40.95. Considering each roll was $15-$17, this was a good deal. We started out with two hot green teas. They came out quite hot too. It hit the spot and I really liked that we got second teas for no charge. We ordered the Scotland Roll, Asparagus Snow Roll, and the Deep Fried Philly Roll. Also we ordered a side of edamame and seaweed salad. I was very impressed with how tasty the seaweed salad was and I loved the way all three rolls were presented beautifully on a large plate. We dug in and enjoyed every bite. My friend decided she wanted dessert and order the mochi. She asked the server what she recommended out of their three options of mango, green tea, or strawberry. The server said all of them were good but ended up bringing the strawberry over. I ordered the green tea ice cream and I really loved how it arrived in a martini glass with some whipped cream and chocolate. I was very impressed with what a gem this was and how amazing their food was. I really appreciated the great service. I wish it was closer to me. read more

This review is long overdue... My boyfriend and I always make sure to visit Skybay Sushi as often as possible because of how amazing our visits are every time. My favorite roll is the Mango Tango Roll which is a spicy California Roll with Salmon and Mango on the outside. The hospitality is always perfect and makes us feel very welcomed. This visit, we asked for the chef special and it was so good. The fish is always so fresh and delicious. We have never had a bad experience! So YUMMY ! Thank you James, Clare and Jean! read more

This place is by far our absolute favorite sushi restaurant in town. James and Jean are especially kind and provide the best service you can ask for. They are very welcoming and making sure everything is expected but better! The sushi rolls versus the price, you really can't beat the quality of fish you get and also getting the Chef's special rolls! James does an awesome job at creating new and tasty rolls like the Salmon Mango and Blue Fin Tuna roll - absolute fire! It is a smaller shop, and the decor is very subtle and peaceful! it is a smaller shop, which is nice because it feels more private and enjoyable! read more

This was a quaint restaurant with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The server was kind and prompt to assist us. We ordered 3 special rolls to share. Presentation was beautiful and combinations were tasty. The cuts of fish were not the best but for the price it was very good. They even gave us green tea ice cream for a great price. Overall, a great experience. read more

Simply the best sushi in Costa Mesa, CA...which is near Irvine, I guess. I don't know. My wife was driving. Weve gone before, and I've reviewed before. We will go again, and I'll review again! Everything was fresh and immaculate. Well cut, and well prepared. The Cajun Roll is their speciality, especially good paired with the special house sauce, which has just a bit of spicy to it. Even my 5 year old chowed down on Udon noodles, grilled salmon, and the snapper. Owned and run by the nicest couple, just quality people serving up quality food. They love this place and the cuisine, and it shows. Check it out. Say hello. Leave full and happy! Always good to make your wife happy, and this does the trick. May work better if your wife is Asian, but probably in general as well. read more

Best Sushi spot in all of the OC! We have been coming here for 2 years now and let me tell you that the quality of the fish here is the best. You will not find any spot with better quality or presentation. James (the owner & chef) is very friendly and one of the most talented chefs I have ever witnessed. The mango tango roll is so fresh with a delicate sweetness from the ripe mango. I would highly recommend making it spicy! Any of the Nigiri is delightful, especially the Aji (Spanish Mackerel). Clare and Jean have some of the most efficient and friendly service. They always check in on us and ensure we have our glasses full. If you are looking for your next favorite sushi spot in the OC, look no further than Sky Bay Sushi in Costa Mesa! PS, be sure to share a glass of Sake with them on your next visit read more

As a foodie, I'm always looking for new places to try, but I often fall into holding patterns in some areas, such as the 17th Street corridor in Costa Mesa. After hitting two usual spots (Shirley's Bagels for, you guessed it...) and Hi-Time Wine Cellars (clean bathrooms). A little search here on Yelp and studying the little maps, I realized this restaurant was close but just off the street. I lucked out and got one of two designated parking spots in front and walked in. It was before noon, and only one other table was sat, so I grabbed a spot easily. The server was a sweet lady who provided the proper aloof but not unaware style that promotes relaxation without ever having to flag her down. Green tea first, then my order. The chef is very deliberate in his movements, and I could tell that without peering over the counter, he's a stickler for detail and presentation. Sure enough, the platter came nicely arranged. Two cut rolls and nigiri sushi to get as wide as possible sample of their fish varieties. I especially enjoyed the Salmon Lemon roll with asparagus inside. The Hamachi was also really good, as was the salmon. I felt full enough for the planned wine tasting later that afternoon at Hi-Time Wine Cellars and drove down to Corona Del Mar to walk it off. I'll time my next trip for happy hour and get some Mussels! read more

Phenomenal hospitality. I came alone because I was visiting the area for work, and the owner & my waitress made me feel welcomed like I was visiting friends. Don't get me started on the food & the pricing too... considering how good & fresh everything tasted, I thought there was going to be an extra zero on my total read more

Sushi was mushy and tasted fishy. Was also very expensive for how poor the quality of food was. Can't recommend this place unfortunately

James, the owner and chef is amazing! We've been coming here for years and this is the only place we will go to. We are originally from Seattle where the seafood is the best, is indeed that quality! No better place. read more

Omg! So, my hubby and I are obsessed with garlic edamame! Since our local fave go-to place closed, we've been searching for a new staple. SkyBay Sushi is definitely it! Not being one for spicy food, garlic edamame and spicy garlic edamame are two VERY different dishes for me. Not everywhere has a separate spicy garlic edamame dish, meaning that their regular garlic edamame might be a little bit on the spicy side. At SkyBay Sushi BOTH the garlic edamame AND the spicy garlic edamame are killer. So my husband orders the spicy while I stick to the traditional garlic version; this way our hands don't keep bumping into each other as we are scarfing them down. But don't stop at the edamame. The sushi is also incredible. The rolls are beautifully presented and taste as good as they look. Our favorite is the Shrimp Crunchy Roll, I like my Crunchy Rolls with a bit of cucumber, which the staff at SkyBay are happy to add. Whether you choose to dine in or takeout, the staff is very friendly and accommodating, even if you have extra requests. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable and smells mouthwatering from the moment you walk in. Stop in, say hi, take out, or dine in, but DON'T skip this hidden gem. It's easy to miss because it's down a row of businesses that run perpendicular to 17th St. Keep your eyes open and bring your appetite, its time to fly to SkyBay Sushi! read more

Super fresh seafood in their sushi. Expert sushi maker with unique & flavorful sauces. Amazing and varied types of Ramen. A small cozy ambience. I cannot recommend the sushi bar enough. A small non-Sushi menu but the Salmon Teriyaki was delicious. The service was prompt and pleasing. read more

A hidden gem in Costa Mesa/Newport Beach. The nondescript strip mall belies the amazingly fresh & mouth watering sushi that awaits. But there's more! Perhaps the best value for money sushi anywhere. Awesome Happy Hour prices AND 3 rolls for $40 (anytime). Roll suggestions: Lady in Red, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Spider, Caterpillar.....enjoy! read more
