They hit our radar because of the BOGO offers on UberEats, so we ordered for pick up. The parking lot can be a mess, so a two person crew works best for a quick acquisition. The albacore sushi was the highlight for me; it was very fresh. It may be odd to say, but the avocado on the sunset roll was noticably flavorful. We will be back. I am hoping to try the tuna and yellowtail sushi next time. read more

Sushi Taka - TL: Crunch Roll, TR: Sunset Roll, B: Albacore Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Sushi Taka is my favorite delivery sushi because they have a large menu with many fun rolls. They also have ramen (delicious) and poke bowls and plates so there's really something for everyone. I also appreciate how they take care to package the hot items like ramen separate from the sushi so it doesn't heat your sushi. They are also great about doing requests like if you want to pay extra to add lemon to a roll or an extra sauce. read more

Ordered sunset roll for takeout ($17). Rice was hard and dry, making the sushi not enjoyable to eat. Would not recommend. read more

I tried this sushi a while back it's good but I do prefer other unique spots but Taka isn't bad to get sushi at.

I came in 20 minutes before their break and asked if they had time for a quick togo roll and they were so polite and accepting. I got the mango roll, and asked for no avocado which they graciously agreed, and it was so delicious. The mango and salmon were exceptionally fresh and the whole ensemble came together in a beautiful bright and refreshing roll. Definitely will be back!! read more

Ordered take out from here thru DoorDash with a buy one get one free deal, which was a plus. The fish part of our rolls tasted good and fresh, but some of the rice in the rolls were a bit off-some were mushier than others and some almost were "lumpy" and "hard". A few of us couldn't tell if it wasnt all cooked or just old. Odd but not a dealbreaker. Definitely would try it again! read more

One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The waitress was not just rude--she actually yelled profanities at me during the meal. Completely unprovoked and shockingly unprofessional. I was stunned. On top of that, the sushi was awful. The fish tasted old, the rice was dry, and the entire meal felt like something you'd get from a gas station, not a restaurant. When I brought it up (very calmly), I was met with attitude and disrespect instead of any attempt to make things right. This place is a joke. If you enjoy being cursed at while eating bad sushi, maybe you'll love it here. Otherwise, stay far away. read more

Got the baked salmon roll and the pink lady roll. Baked salmon was half off on a Saturday for some reason. Not overly expensive considering it's Irvine. Would come back. read more

As a door dash delivery, this review is simply the quality and flavor. Nicely made rolls with true sushi rice that stay together even after delivery and dipping into soy sauce. We had baked salmon, rainbow, and salmon nigiri. Slight fishy hint to flavor, and some chew to it but overall pretty fresh; compared to island sushi (Hawaii) we are used too. Salmon lacked some flavor but as a whole 4/5 rating, as it indeed hit the sushi spot. read more

I was really surprised by the lack of customer appreciation here. I swung by on a Sunday about 20-30 minutes before their 3 PM closing time, thinking I'd grab a quick sushi fix. The place was completely empty, but they turned me away and wouldn't seat me. I mean, in a time when so many restaurants are trying hard to keep customers happy and bring in business, it just seems wild they wouldn't want to take one more order--especially since they were clearly slow. So, no sushi for me today, and honestly, I'm not planning to go back. read more

The sushi was excellent and came out quickly. We ordered the Laguna Beach and Crunch Roll--both were delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. We love this place--whether for takeout or dining in. Highly recommend! read more

This is from a long time ago but wanted to make a note for myself. The salmon in the chirashi bowl is sooo good. Usually I can't taste the difference between salmon quality, I eat a ton of raw salmon, get poke pretty frequently, had raw king salmon etc but something about this was way better than typical. Very clean taste. Hoping I'll have time to swing by again and see if it's consistently that good! read more

My boyfriend and I love coming here and I will explain the loss of star in a moment, but let's start with you should definitely still check this place out. There's a little outside spot that has a few tables that is dog friendly which we love! Also the food is really good and fresh. Service is very fast and they always get our order correct and are super friendly. I really like the spicy pork (I am normally not a pork person)! But it is the right amount of heat and flavor that is Kurt perfect with rice. The custom poki bowls are really great option with always fresh fish. Now the lack of one star comes from a few things. 1. Something about the tempura batter used I am just not a fan of and it leaves a strange taste on my palette. 2. The miso soup was strangely sweet almost like some sugar or something was added. 3. The price of some of the items is a bit high...but it's a sushi restaurant in a popular center in Irvine so that is to be expected. Overall though definitely come in a try a variety of their options! read more

I've been in this plaza many times but didn't know there was a sushi spot, but I'm so glad I discovered a new sushi place I can go to! My friend and I got the Red Dragon, shrimp tempura, and Laguna Beach. The laguna beach was definitely the best and I would 100% get it again. The red dragon was a 3/5 and shrimp tempura was really good. I'd definitely be back and would try another roll in place of the red dragon read more

So the wait was a tad long HOWEVER, they were taking a lot of take out orders so totally get it! Worth the wait when the food came out the sushi rolls were SO delicious and worth the price, whoever was prepping and cooking did AMAZING, our server was so sweet, and the place overall was clean, it wasn't overstimulating and was quite the calm and chillaxed environment. I 10/10 recommend this place for sushi lovers (their mango roll actually got my husband to eat something with fruit! hurray!!) read more

First time visiting and here are my takeaways: 1. You can sit anywhere you'd like after being acknowledged by the host. The host also stands behind the ordering counter as the restaurant doubles for take out and sit in. 2. Menu prices are a little bit pricey and I know this because when you look at basic items, they are overpriced. One portion of miso soup is $4, but I guess with todays inflated prices, you can consider it normal. This is the standard cup you'd get at other restaurants. The rolls, however, can be considered fair pricing for what they are. A huge bonus is that these rolls are thicker and will fill you up! They're delicious and fresh as well. 3. Sushi Taka uses a paper menu that you can mark for items of choice and quantity. I'd come here again for a hungry, craving sushi day. Go straight for the special unique rolls. Don't waste too much time on the basic items because you will get full very quickly (: read more

Wow. We live close by and definitely slept on this place. The sushi rolls are packed with quality ingredients. One roll is perfect for one person for a nice filling lunch. They have a buy one get one half off for drinks every day. The service is very friendly and quick. We had a late lunch on a Saturday and it was quiet but some other tables were seated. It is a smaller restaurant but clean and a great place for lunch or dinner. Will definitely be trying it again! Especially for take out or dinner sometime soon. read more

I ordered the poke bowl. Customer service was great! She kept checking on me and the ambiance was good too. Overall very solid post workout meal a little to much tang for me on the sauce but I was so hungry it didn't matter lol read more

I ordered takeout and they didn't even give me chopsticks with it so I had to use a fork to eat my sushi when I got home. On top of that my sushi was sooooo fishy I can't even eat it and had to throw it away and order something else after I spent $20 on a tiny roll that I probably could have just got at stater bros for half the price and way tastier. If I could give no stars I would read more

I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate my birthday and we had a really nice dinner! Sushi was absolutely delicious and the menu had lots of options, so anyone would be able to find something. Their crunch rolls have a really unique, yummy crunch topping that I haven't seen at any other sushi place! The service was also super fast and our waitress was friendly and attentive. Even my baked roll came out quickly. The inside was nice and clean. I would absolutely eat here again and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for sushi in Irvine! read more

Decent Poki bowl. The inside is clean and always has the AC on blast. Service was quick. I feel like they are a bit overpriced for the amount of fish you get. read more

This was my first time here and I had a great experience! We went with a friend who is a regular and knew the waitress. Apparently they are really good with making special orders upon request. For example, my friend has to watch his salt intake so instead of miso soup and salad he gets a double salad portion. He also gets some rolls with less sauce. There aren't any "lunch specials" but they always have the plate menu where you pick 2 items on the smaller menu list for $18 or 3 for $25. It also comes with a soup and salad. I ordered the Rainbow Roll and the Crunch Roll. Both were delicious. I could tell this restaurant uses good quality dish. My husband also ordered the Rainbow Roll and the Sunset Roll. The Sunset Roll ended up being my favorite, I'll have to order that next time! read more

Came here for dinner with my friend for a quick bite to eat since we were in the area. I was super hungry since we didnt eat all day so I decided to get the dinner bento with sushi, teriyaki salmon, and some other items. Service was nice and fast. Food was mediocre. nothing too special or OMG about it. Your typical sushi spot but nothing was work ranting about. Sushi was low key fresh but not what I am used to. They have an extensive menu and selection to choose from as well. IDK if I would come back in the area to eat here again tho. But if you want a quick fast and easy lunch or dinner sushi spot.... this is where you can stop by. read more

When we came in, there was no one at the register or anyone to seat us (sign said 'wait to be seated'). It took a few minutes for someone to come out from the kitchen. Seemed like she was the only one working so service was average. Food wasn't any better. The salmon quality is below average. The shrimp tempura is not light and crispy (they use panko crumbs instead of tempura batter). The only decent food was the Protein Roll. High prices and lower quality. read more

Visited on my sister and dad's birthday and wasn't disappointed. Their crunch roll was mediocre so I would probably recommend trying something else on their menu that might be comparable. Would recommend their Lobster Roll and Tempura Udon since both were delicious. Wouldn't recommend their jalapeño poppers as an appetizer but their gyoza was delicious. read more

They should invest in happy hour here like kubiki. It would definitely make the place for lively. They need Kalamari here. read more

Sushi Taka is one of my favorite sushi spots in Irvine, it's a minute away from my home and I go there all the time! I'm shocked that they have only 3.5 reviews! They have fresh sushi all the time. I typically go for the Huntington Beach roll and it is very delicious. I also get the salmon nigiri. I highly recommend sushi Taka for anyone who is looking for a good quality tasty sushi. read more

Sushi Taka - Huntington Beach roll - Japanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Their buy one get one free special is a scam! You don't get one free. You have to pay $40 for two rolls and $20 for one roll. I paid for 2 rolls and only got one roll. When I called the lady was not accommodating and didn't care I only got one roll and not the two that were advertised. #scam. Very bad customer service. read more

This place is awesome! I got the crispy bomb, mango roll and crunch cracker rolls (pictured left to right) and they were all delicious. The woman who helped us was so sweet and wonderful. The restaurant itself is very clean and sleek looking as well. Highly recommend this place to any sushi lovers! if you are more like my boyfriend and aren't a huge fan of sushi, they have more choices like Udon or a Taka Plate with other choices. read more

Sushi Taka - The three roles i got - Japanese Near Me - Irvine, California

I went to sushi take when I was visiting my sisters and staying at the ac hotel across the street. We wanted sushi on a Friday night so we walked over and were seated right away. No line or wait time. Waitress was patient and gave us time to look over the menu. I ended up getting a spicy salmon type of roll, and my sister got the mango roll which she really enjoyed. That combination was really unique and I've rarely seen fruit in any of my sushi rolls. Great service and great sushi! Will be back for sure. Very friendly and accommodating staff. I had to have gluten free so she brought me the gluten free soy sauce. read more

Nobody ever here and the service/dishes are still not great, expensive and low effort. Not sure how they stay open to be honest. You could show up with a party of 50 and be seated instantly. The rolls/sashimi are decent, not great. Space feels like a library or coffee shop. Nothing going on. Just very bland. read more

Customer service here is non-existent. We ordered from this restaurant for their buy one get one free rainbow roll however, once we checked out, we realize it was just the one roll so when we tried to cancel the order to then re-add the special deal. it said that we would have to pay $25 for the cancellation fee to re-order it which we did not want to do. We called the restaurant and they said we'd have to go through Uber to fix it. We told them that uber told us to contact the resturaunt. The girl on the phone basically said "oh well I'm sorry there's nothing we can do", when I asked to speak to someone else who may be able to better assist us with this, she came back to the phone and said "yeah, no, there's nothing we can do".... There is ALWAYS something you can do! We used to order from here all the time. Tonight's the last time. Our loyalty to this place was completely overlooked and they made it clear that the customer experience is worth less than their time. read more

The service was good even though it was very busy, the Mexican waitress, and the Korean owner were able to juggle everyone in an orderly fashion. The miso soup is perfect. The ginger is really good. The rainbow roll was very fresh and yummy. The wasabi paste was right on. The green tea was authentic. The chicken teriyaki sauce was very good and placed upon chicken breast that was lightly toasted and flavored well. The rice was simply good, and perfectly sticky. The salad was lightly drizzled with a very good semi sweet dressing. The udon soup tasted exactly like the one I had a while back in Kyoto. read more

DELICIOUS fish but I don't recommend going here for a Poke bowl. I paid almost $20 for 3 scoops of salmon plus one extra scoop of protein, but the amount they give you is very small...even when paying for additional. I kid you not, any other Poke place in Irvine has more fish for the same price or even a little less. I'd stick to getting rolls or their combination plates. A BONUS THOUGH: They do give avocado for no extra charge as an item to put in your bowl, which is pretty nice because most other Poke places charge $1.50 or more for avocado. read more

I really don't understand the bad reviews for this place. It has amazing sushi, probably one of my favorite sushi spots ever. Really good quality, and friendly staff.

It's a place where you can get sushi rolls and if you want, teriyaki with the sushi rolls as a combo. They don't sell teriyaki outside the combo. They do sell orders of sushi but their menu is mostly sushi rolls, a build your own poke, and the combos with sushi rolls. It's worth the price since you'll usually pay 10-12 anywhere for a roll, so it's not bad and considering where it is located in Irvine. They have a happy hour deal, too. read more
