    Baked Salmon and LA roll
    Tanushree C.

    We found this place through Yelp as we wanted to grab some to-go sushi on the way to the SNA airport. We didn't realize at first that it was a cloud kitchen and kept looking for Sushi Atelier at the address listed to pick up our food. Eventually realized it's a part of a cloud kitchen that has several other offerings. We got the LA roll and the baked salmon roll. The portion size was adequate and they didn't skimp on the fish. I also liked the black sesame seeds in the rice giving it a more earthy flavor. The cloud kitchen was efficient and organized we didn't have to wait long for our order.

    Tried this sushi place tonight. It's a to go only - not a sit in restaurant. Ordered the Brooklyn Roll, Baked Eel Blue Moon & Yellowtail Rolls. Liked the Baked Eel the best. You order online then go to pick up or uber. Inside the establishment you ring the bell if you have questions. Or else you just wait till they have your order ready. Very minimal human contact.

    After four years of living in the US and constantly searching for truly good sushi rolls, I can confidently say that SushiAtelier has the best rolls I've ever had. The fish is always fresh, the ingredient proportions are perfect, and their miso soup is amazing. I order from them several times a month, and the food is always ready on time. The packaging is convenient, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Thank you so much! Aisha D.

    The best sushi rolls that resemble what we were eating in Eastern Europe sushi restaurants. We ordered from Sushi Atelier multiple time, and the rolls were always beyond delicious. The ingredients are fresh, the rolls are neatly and properly prepared. The flavours are well-balanced. Our favourite rolls are Los Angeles, Hotto Tempura, Royal Tempura, Philadelphia Salmon, Osaka. The restaurant is always on time for pick-up.

    Amazing sushi! We ordered 4 rolls for takeout! everything was absolutely perfect! The fish was fresh, the rolls were neatly made, and the taste was outstanding. I really appreciated that the order came with a full set: wasabi, ginger, soy sauce, napkins, and chopsticks. The eco-friendly packaging was a pleasant surprise; clean, stylish, and thoughtful. Sushi Atelier is now definitely one of our favorite sushi spots!

    We ordered rolls today and everything was amazing. The rolls were super fresh, nicely made, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality the fish was fresh, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the portions were more than enough. Delivery was fast and on time, and everything arrived well packed and still fresh. Overall, such a great experience. This place never disappoints, and we'll 100% be ordering again!

    Ordered for my birthday ! Was very creamy and rich Slavic style generous salmon, creamy cheese all perfectly balanced Everything tastes well thought-out !! Thanks a lot that's my go to place

    Crab Hand Roll Scallop Hand Roll: pretty small for $6.99 each
    Kathy S.

    Stars: 3.8!! My eyes and my iPhone always eat first especially when the presentation is on point, and Sushi Atelier definitely executed! The 2 rolls ordered were above average. Los Angeles roll was my favorite, but the Futomaki Yellowtail was just alright. The Futomaki roll felt like it was missing something in texture. The scallop and crab hand rolls were good but super small! Freshness of the scallop was a average at best given its a to-go shop. For the price of everything: 2 handrolls and 2 cut rolls ($50) I was expecting a bit more in flavors and portion. We placed our order online (ChowNow) and food was ready on time. Pick up is located in a shared area with other ghost kitchens. Just ring the "Ring" doorbell and someone from the restaurant will come out with your order.

    This sushi spot is a "ghost kitchen" and is located in a business complex. They do not have an actual store front where you can sit and order food like typical restaurants. The concept for this spot is neat because they only do "take out". Their storefront is shared with other restaurants under "Smart Kitchens". When you enter the store front, along the walls you will see menus from many different restaurants. Underneath each menu is a "Ring Doorbell", which you use to contact the restaurant when you've arrived to pick up your food. There is a video playing inside the storefront with instructions on how to order or pick up your food. If you don't order your food ahead of time, there are kiosks you may use to order from any of the restaurants under Smart Kitchens. I would recommend ordering ahead of time if you can. I observed that the guests who ordered through the kiosk had to wait at least 30-40 minutes before their food was ready during peak dinner hours on a Saturday night. I ordered through Yelp and still waited 50 minutes before the food was ready to come out. I would be curious to come back during non-peak hours to see if the food comes out faster. For Sushi Atelier, I was appealed to order from here because of their photos. The fresh sushi rolls were tasty (California Salmon and Bluefin roll) I would order those again. The Baked Salmon roll weirdly tasted like cheese and the miso soup was a tad bit too salty. Overall, I would give this place another try because the concept of the kitchen is neat. Also, when I came to pick up my food, the worker was nice enough to come out from the kitchen to tell me she needed more time to finish preparing the food.

    Sushi rolls taste really good! Fabulous place to go. Baked rolls and the black roll taste amazing.

    To Go Order

    DOOR DASH REVIEW so this order was a whopping $80 with tax and tip for 3 rolls. i really want to find something wrong with it but the only thing i can think of is that the portion was just small for the price and it was for two people. the size of the rolls are smaller than we are used to. But what they lack in size they make up for in taste. This is damn good sushi!! Quality alone makes it worthwhile. The Los Angeles roll was my favorite, perfect balance of crunch and freshness. Since this was a door dash order, can't say much about the restaurants service but they do pack the sushi carefully and in nice boxes.

Although, it's funny everyone mainly comes for the sushi rather than the izakaya food. Love the interior! Modern, sleek, and minimalistic. The restaurant was a lot bigger than I thought since there's patio seating. Parking here is shared with a business complex, which they offer your 2 hr free with validation. If over, it would have been $1.50 per 15 minutes (from what I remembered). Service was also friendly and efficient! We got to order the rock shrimp tempura, omakase bowl, miso crab salmon, maguro kajime, and the soy garlic edamame. Orders came out pretty quickly! We actually got the rock shrimp tempura first, which this one was pretty nice for the first few bites. Then it was me realizing that the batter was really hard, which I feel like this should be called rock hard shrimp haha. The flavors were good though! The soy garlic edamame came next, which this one was really nice! The soy garlic gives it a nice sweet touch. They also give a good amount. Then came the maguro kajime, this one was really good! Fish was really fresh and everything was so soft. Then came the miso crab salmon, this one was my favorite! Flavors tasted really good fused together, also very soft and fresh! The omakase bowl came last, which definitely was pretty nice. Everything was really fresh and it was nice they offer you seaweed so you can make your little hand rolls with it. The sea trumpet seaweed was really unique, although, I wasn't really a big fan of it after having so much it because it's tasted very oceanic. Actually, the whole omakase bowl tasted really oceanic, which is pretty nice, but personally for me it was too much haha. Everything was really good though! My least favorite may be the rock shrimp tempura, but my favorite was the miso crab salmon.

Spent a good amount of time browsing Yelp and OpenTable to find a new spot to end the night. Came across TEN on yelp and I'm glad I found this spot. I made a reservation and was a little late due to a previous plan that ended a little later than expected. They sat us right away regardless and the owner greeted us. I asked Brian what his choice of drink is and the crazy thing is I scanned the menu and this drink caught my eye, which he then recommended as his go to, the Yuz it or Lose it. My girlfriend had the Lychee Rose. Started with the Chicken Gyoza and Japanese Nachos for appetizers and ordered the BG roll and Keoni roll. Throughout the night Brian would stop by and made conversation with us a couple times, super attentive and super friendly! At the end of the night Brian brought out a surprise Melted Chocolate Cake with Ice cream and chocolate drizzle & whipped cream on the side, along with what tasted like two shots that tasted like melon? I'm not sure but they were a 5/5! There is a good amount of seating inside and outside. The mix they had playing through the restaurant was absolute fire and it isn't too loud either, you can still hold a conversation without having to raise your voice. They have a parking structure and you'll receive a parking ticket which TEN validates. Yuz it or Lose it: 5/5 A very refreshing and balanced drink. Lychee Rose: 5/5 On the sweeter side but still balanced and the lychee garnish is a nice touch to end the drink Japanese Nachos: 5/5 I literally had to fight the urge to not share these with my girlfriend they're a party in your mouth. (We subbed the spicy tuna for regular tuna) Chicken Gyoza: 5/5 I'm normally a pork gyoza type of person but these were great, nice and juicy and whatever sauce they have at the bottom of the dish was bomb. I literally poured that sauce into my dipping cup instead of the soy sauce that is available BG Roll: 5/5 This roll is tasty and very fresh since there are no cooked items in/on it and the jalapeños on top are a nice touch as well, especially with a little of that sauce from the Chicken Gyoza dish Keoni Roll: 5/5 The eel sauce is a nice touch to this roll along with the jalapeño sauce that they spread on the plate. Shoutout to Brian again! You've earned repeat customers! We will be back

Have we tried other places? Of course - and always regretted doing so lol - now it's just Eat's Sushi every time! I attached 3 photos from this particular visit on Friday night, 5.22.26, and wrote a short blurb for each photo to explain why Eat's is hands down, the best place and usually the place of choice we go to at least 3x a month! They are always busy and that never bothers us because everyone else knows this is the place to go for fresh fish, amazing service, and friendly staff! We have figured out how to join their wait list without waiting their usual 30-60+ min wait. Even if we have to wait, we will. It's worth it every time! On this particular visit, Leo sat us down and Evelyn was our server. All of them are wonderful and these two elevated our visit yet once again! It is the main reason I wanted to post this because they deserve accolades. Leo already had our usual "hot water" order waiting for us at the table and Evelyn is always patient with us when we place several small orders because we like to keep the fish fresh. It's called "tsuika de onegaishimasu" if you care to know haha . The owner was also there that evening, and we witnessed him supporting his team quietly and gratefully by helping collect empty dishes off occupied tables to take them to the kitchen himself. His humble leadership explains why Eat's is on point with their customer service ! Price is extremely reasonable, quality is exceptional, and for us, we love the cozy ambiance! See you next week, Eat's Sushi!

We have been going down here for a while, so we have our favorites. The appetizers here are surprisingly very good! Garlic edamame and sesame chicken are our favs. I even have a soft spot for the house salad because the dressing is just yum. I rarely order salmon nigri, but for some reason this place is pretty good! The pieces I receive are always nicely portioned and soft. We never bother with the other rolls anymore because we know our favorite is the VEGAS ROLL! It's been my favorite roll since I started coming here. Literally no other sushi or Japanese restaurant has this combination of ingredients. Crunch from unagi, spicy tuna on a CA roll with eel sauce and spicy sauce. *chefs kiss* Lots of textures, flavors, sweet, salty, spicy. Just come in with a purpose. We noticed that other tables tend to a bit longer because they were never ready when the server came by.

    I really enjoyed our date night at this sushi restaurant! Overall I felt like the sushi was…read morehigh-quality and had a lot of unique flavors that kept things fresh and exciting. You won't find your typical rainbow rolls at this restaurant (I do love a good rainbow roll though). The rolls we ordered were the Snowflake (which was flavored with yuzu), the Lobster roll (which was so much more than a typical baked lobster/langostino roll), and the Are You Kidding Me roll, which was big on truffle flavor and came topped with fried onions. I thoroughly enjoyed the Snowflake roll. It had multiple types of fish inside, and the yuzu flavor added the perfect fresh citrusy touch. It also came dotted with a tiny bit of sriracha (or some other spice) but it was just a hint and it's easy to wipe off if you don't want any spice. The Lobster roll was the star of the show. I give it a 10/10 for presentation, and it was also the best tasting one in my opinion. It was plated with a shelled lobster tail, which looks visually pleasing, but the most impressive part was right before serving, the waitress lit it on fire and handed it to us, as if it were flaming creme brulee or something. The flame actually wasn't on the roll itself, but was on what appeared to be a trail of salt (presumably soaked in some kind of alcohol to make it burn). It definitely was a cool effect and I've never seen anything like it in a sushi restaurant! Lastly, the Are You Kidding Me roll - this was my third favorite out of the three we ordered. It was pretty good but I think the truffle flavor was a bit strong. I'm also personally not a huge fan of fried onions on top of sushi since I think it clashes a bit with the freshness of the fish, and gives me too many bar food vibes. But it certainly was flavorful and my husband and I still finished it. We shared these three sushi rolls between the two of us and it was just the right amount of food to leave feeling full. Besides the food, the restaurant itself was nice although I'm not sure they really needed to have a live DJ there as opposed to having a Spotify Playlist. Didn't bother me but I don't think it really added much to the vibe. I would definitely eat here again!

    May 2026 and I'm honestly shocked at how much the food quality has gone downhill. The miso soup was…read morecompletely flavorless, and the fish honestly looked questionable, almost like food coloring was used just to make it appear fresh. For $160 for just a few rolls (no appetizers, no drinks, no dessert), the value simply is not there. The only redeeming quality was the staff. They were genuinely very kind, attentive, and helpful. Unfortunately, good service alone can't justify the quality or price. I won't be returning. I'd rather spend my money at places like Pacific Catch in Tustin or restaurants that prioritize and certify the quality of their seafood. As consumers, we have to support places that deliver real value.

    Nothing but great things to say about this place, quality of food, and service! It gets quite busy…read moreso make sure to have a resie, show up early to get in the waitlist, or be prepared to order to go. Cheese tonkatsu - fried but airy, not too greasy, cheese compliments the pork loin without being to overpowering, pork loin was juicy, sesame sauce was delicious, cabbage salad had ample yet flavorful dressing, miso soup and rice were great pairings aging with the pickled veggies. I would get this again and again

    Begrudgingly giving 3 stars…read more I came here on a weekday for lunch at 1pm. The place was packed, but luckily, one table was available. It's a small place and the tables are crammed together; you practically touch elbows with whoever is sitting at the table next to you. I ordered the Hako Tonkatsu. The amount of food is a great deal for the price. Along with a large serving of tonkatsu (pork katsu), you get miso soup, rice, salad, and banchan (some sort of radish and jalapeños). The quality of the pork was superb and the crunch of the panko was right on point. I've had many, many plates of tonkatsu over the years, both here in the U.S. and Japan, and this rates highly, made perfectly. I'm not usually a huge fan of miso soup but this one was really good; I loved it. The rice was excellent and the salad was standard but bright & fresh. As a sauce guy, the importance of a good katsu sauce is imperative in making a tonkatsu meal perfect. When I tried the sauce served with this meal I thought - they've got to be kidding. It tasted like a version of Thousand Island dressing. I looked at other tables (2 inches away) who had the same meal and they were dipping into the same container so it was no mistake. Apparently, this is their version of katsu sauce and it was nothing like any katsu sauce I've had in my life. This was an embarrassment to the world of katsu sauce. It disappointed me and honestly destroyed the entire tonkatsu experience. I guess the five-star reviewers like this sauce but just don't know what proper katsu sauce is. I don't want to be a crybaby and give too low a rating as everything else was exceptional, but I'd never ever go back here nor recommend it. Would easily been 5 stars if they had any clue.
