    Assorted nigiri
    Jason S.

    We had dinner here the other night. There is a small parking lot available. The restaurant itself is quite small and can fill up quickly. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants and sushi restaurants in the OC. The quality here is unbelievable. They get fresh fish deliveries 6 days a week. We let Chef Chris create whatever he wanted for us. It might be my go-to order on my next visit. We started with ceviche. They take nori and deep fry it into a chip. The shrimp, octopus and vegetables piled on top were not only generous but absolutely delicious. A great and refreshing way to start off the meal. Then came the nigiri. The Toro melted in our mouths. The sushi rice uses a red vinegar that makes you just want to enjoy the nigiri as is. Do not add any shoyu to it. That would be a huge injustice to the nigiri. The jumbo scallops, the A5 wagyu, the Saba, the red snapper, yes everything we got was unreal. The freshness and the flavors were incredible. We also got some rolls. The A5 wagyy roll was so good. The toro roll just reminded me that you can never have roo much toro. The blue crab roll was a rice-less roll and just stuffed with blue crab. One of the best sushi meals I have ever had. The prices are really reasonable for the quality that you get. The service was also fantastic. I cannot wait to go again.

    Came here for lunch on a Friday and it wasn't too bad. This place is located in a corner plaza so parking can get tight and of course people can't drive for shit. The ambiance is a very cozy feel and the service is good. The cool part is seeing the chefs cook in front of you when they make the rolls. The matcha drink is trash don't get it. 0/5. The peach tea is lit. 5/5. The Wagyu roll was amazing. Lots of flavors and I almost got full off one roll. The Wagyu literally just melts in your mouth. 5/5. The geisha roll wasn't bad. I don't think I was a fan of the cream cheese. But overall it was good. 3.9/5. The coolest is seeing the nigiri all 50% off. We got a bunch. It was great. Fresh seafood too. 5/5. Def a spot to come check out

    Looking for a sushi spot near the hotel my family was staying at. I asked for a recommendation from staff at the front desk at the hotel and they were no help. So I looked on Yelp and found this spot with 4 1/2 stars. Sushi District did not disappoint. Jay our server was kind & helpful. Jay explained that the Sushi pieces are 50% off and Sushi Rolls are 20% off. We ordered the following items: Salmon Sushi, Squid Sushi, Alaskan Roll, Spider Roll, Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna, Shrimp Tempura & Spicy Garlic Edamame. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The parking is packed. So we parked down the street by Chipotle and walked to Sushi District.

    Beef bulgogi is mostly ONIONS -- not beef.

    Do NOT order the beef bulgogi -- it's 75% just onions for the price of beef. Sesame chicken though it's so good!

    Shrimp Tempura
    Katrina V.

    I joined some friends that were visiting from out of town. We were here on a Monday night around 6pm and was immediately seated. There's more table vs sushi bar seating. Even though they didn't have salmon skin salad on the menu, they happily made it for us. Although I felt that it had too much dressing. Very reasonably priced sushi. The portion of the crispy rice spicy tuna was quite large where I thought it was too much rice for my liking. Near the end of our meal the chef gave us a bonus with a small bowl of mixed sashimi which was sweet of him

    Sexy Bluefin Roll
    Tiffany B.

    Stopped by on a Friday night; they were packed and busy! I see this restaurant often passing through the area.Thought I finally give it a try! Lively and friendly atmosphere. I ended up ordering takeout instead. The wait was 30min for sushi. First impression-- the four rolls were nicely packaged. Overall, the sushi tasted fresh and tasty. They have a good amount of spicy rolls if you enjoy fiery flavors. Their sauces that accompanied the rolls were light, which is what I prefer over the deeper flavors of the dipping sauces. Rolls ordered: 1. Sexy Bluefin Tuna is my fav--I like the dipping sauce and the roll overall is unique. 2. Ya Ya Yellowtail- spicy on top of spicy on top of spicy haha ( I love it!). 3. Funky lemon salmon is light and citrusy light flavor. 4. Spicy tuna rainbow roll is a twist on regular rainbow roll, but the heat steps it up IMO. I'll definitely eat here again!

    This spot has become our favorite go to sushi spot in OC. Every piece on nigiri melts in your mouth. The staff is great. Our waiter was friendly, helpful and attentive. This place is quickly becoming a weekly tradition. Must try for sushi lovers.

    Absolutely the best hidden gem in Costa Mesa. The food is top quality and the staff treat you like family (the ones you like). I can't recommend this place enough

    Marivic R.

    Came here to eat dinner on a weekend, waited for approximately 30 minutes before we were seated. Everything we ordered was good, especially the marinade on the Kura it was tasty! I loved it! Plenty of parking. Sushi chefs were so nice they gave us some complimentary sashimi!!!

    This place is my go-to sushi spot. I've been coming here for like 3+ years now and even though it's super simple and not flashy, the sushi is always really fresh and solid. It's not one of those trendy places, but I actually prefer it that way. The rolls are fun and there's always something I end up ordering again. I have way too many pictures from here at this point because I keep going back. It's just one of those comfort spots for me!!!

    I think I found our new favorite sushi spot in Costa Mesa. I found it when we were driving in the area and noted to come back. I went for a solo date night and spent about $20 on 4 pieces of sushi and a roll which was not bad at all and I left full. I then took my partner a month later for him to try it and he loved it. We got the black dragon roll which we loved and the golden tiger roll. They don't skimp on the fish and overall it was delicious and affordable. The staff is great too. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for yummy sushi!

    Toro Nigiri
    Jade M.

    Oh this place is great! A friend brought me here for my first time recently and I've been back so many times after to show it to more friends. They have a great deal on nigiri and it is such fresh delicious quality fish. The place is pretty small but they fit a lot of tables into that space. For how crowded it can get the service is pretty good. Sitting at the bar is the best seat in the house. Chefs are kind and really attentive. Think this is our regular spot now.

    Finally tried this place and everything was soooo good…read more Started with the Oyster Half Shell: super fresh, clean, and just melted in my mouth. The Crispy Rice with spicy tuna was definitely a favorite. The rice was perfectly crunchy, the spicy tuna was packed with flavor. Next was the Mad Man roll, which has filet mignon on top. The filet was tender, flavorful, and paired surprisingly well with the sushi. But the highlight for me was the Miso-glazed Chilean sea bass. The miso glaze added the perfect amount of sweetness and umami without overpowering the fish. Also, shoutout to our server! I feel bad because I forgot her name, but she was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made the whole experience even better.

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.

I absolutely love this place and never did it disappoint. They are still consistent even today. The last time we are here was before we moved to Vegas in 2017.

We can't get great sushi like this fresh and good in Vegas. I love the red eye as well. All light with seasoning on point. The nigiri are pretty pricey for 1 piece but it's fresh fatty tuna and blue fin. What do you expect. Especially since everything has gone up and cost of living is not the same anymore. I'll pay $6 for the nigiri. It's what we expected. Fatty tuna was on point! Service here is always amazing! Staff has been here for years. They even remember my hubby. Lol. Ambiance is casual.
