The food and service is amazing! My husband and I have been coming here for years now, we try to make it in at least once a week. Sushi quality is always amazing and hits the spot. Paul is awesome and it's always nice talking with him and others we meet while sitting at the sushi bar. Joanna is a waitress here and is just the sweetest person and always takes good care of us. Aside from sushi, they have really good appetizers and entrees. 10/10 recommend eating here! read more

Sushi Town is a nice place because they offer professional, prompt service. I order the tuna sashimi (to go as take out) and, it is a great deal because the price point versus quality. I always enjoy my excuisite cuisine at a fair price. May I recommend the tuna sashimi. I like to dip it in soy sauce and put some wasabi on the delicious meat before I take a bite. On the side, I enjoy with ginger. Sometimes, I put fresh lemon juice over the tuna before dipping. The service has been exceptionally on point. Thank you read more

Thank his review is about ordering on Yelp through Grubhub. I placed an order around 6:30pm on a Thursday. The app said it would be ready between 7:05-7:15pm. Showed up at 7pm and was told by the hostess that it wouldn't be ready until 7:30-7:45pm! Sure enough, I go back on the app and it has adjusted the time to show what she is saying. I tried to cancel the food and she said I would have to contact Grubhub to get my money back. Ughhhhh! Two stars were because food was good but hassle wasn't worth it. Won't eat here again read more

One of my current favorite sushi spots! I enjoy sitting at the bar and ordering what feels like everything. Every fish is so good and fresh here, I don't even have favorites cause they're really all so good. Love the salmon, Hokkaido scallops, tuna, toro, mackerel, yellowtail, amberjack, sweet shrimp, literally everything!! They have a lot of rolls to choose from as well but we're usually here for the fish. The only roll we really order is the pink Cadillac, which is basically salmon and avocado and jalapeño hehe It's a small restaurant but things have always ran smoothly when I've dined here. Seriously my current favorite sushi spot obsession that doesn't offer omakase or all you can eat :) I always leave with a happy tummy! read more

Was a little hesitant on coming here because it wasn't busy and the place looked a little run-down. I didn't expect the sushi to be good but boy was I wrong. We ordered practically everything. Was a little disappointed they ran out of uni (but the chef managed to make us an order) and it was mouthwatering. The quality of the sashimi was good and the rice to fish ratio was perfect. The order I disliked was the Maru special roll. There was so much imitation crab meat and mayo was a bit overpowering, so order at your own risk. We also ordered the Hawaiian roll and I loved it (I'm super biased because I enjoy spicy tuna and albacore). I took off a star because the place should be a little more modernized (at least new menus because the ones that were on the tables and given to us looked super worn out and dirty). When I went, the soy sauce was watered down and the soda was flat. But it maybe could be fixed next time. read more

This place is a hidden gem, located in a little shopping center. The rolls are 9 pieces and big. I decided to get the teriyaki dinner special and it came with miso soup. It was delicious and service was outstanding. My son asked the waitress if the roll he was getting was spicy and she said no, after one bite it turns out it was. We told her and with no hesitation she took it back , apologized and asked what other roll he would like. Most places would argue but not this place. Recommend 10/10. read more

Sushi Town - restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

My fiancée and I were looking for a new sushi place to have dinner because our usual spot is closed on sundays. We found this place on yelp and it was close by to where we were and had good reviews so we decided to give it a try. I was sort of disappointed. When we first sat down, I looked at the menu and was excited because they had a decent selection of sushi rolls as well as nigiri and sashimi. However, I wasn't really feeling sushi anymore and wanted to try their dinner entree menu. I decided to order the seafood ramen. It was a great deal and came with six rolls of the California roll. When the roll came, I noted that the rice was overcook with too much water because it was very sticky and sort of mushy. But it wasn't bad. Then they brought out my ramen. It looked like instant ramen that you can get a grocery store. But I was fine with that as long as it had good flavor. The first thing I did was try some of the broth. It tastes like watered down broth. I mean I've had instant ramen that was better than this. It tasted like the used a ramen flavor pack but then accidentally put way too much water in it. I mean it was so bland, it tasted like I was drinking pure water. I had to add three table spoons of soy sauce and ask for salt to give the broth some flavor. It wasn't all bad I guess. The rolls were ok. My fiancée ordered the ninja roll, rainbow roll, and the tiger shrimp roll. They were definitely not the best or even close to the best that I've ever had, but it wasn't bad. My fiancée doesn't normally dip the rolls in sauce. He likes to taste the flavor of each roll individually. But a few of the pieces in his rolls, he had to dip it into soy sauce for some flavor. At least the portions were decent and the prices were cheap. The service was ok also. We got seated right away when we came in because there really wasn't anyone else in the restaurant. We got our menus and the girl brought us drinks right away. We made our selections, but the girl never came back to pick them up. She was in the corner chatting, so my fiancée had to get up and her the paper to her. When she came back, she brought out our rolls. She dropped one of mine, but quickly went to replace it. Then came back to check on us a couple more times. And brought our check out at a decent time and we didn't really have to wait around too long. Needless to say, we probably won't be back.. read more

Always great, fresh fish and great service. Perfect lunch or dinner spot. I always enjoy going to Sushi Town and getting my favorite...Scott Roll. read more

Long overdue review. My partner at the time lives down the street from here and during Covid we were trying to find a good Sushi place for takeout. The short and sweet: their sushi quality is really good for the price. They have a great selection of no-rice rolls. Their poke bowl is amazing, especially for the price, it's also big enough to share between 2 people. The patio is small but was well social distanced and they did a good job of accommodating everyone. Overall, this is a great sushi spot in the area and I miss their food and the prices all the time. Great customer service and I hope to get food from here again soon. read more

They redid the inside! Happy for them been coming for years and was happy for them that they upgraded! Also the menu is typed out and new without the pictures so it was confusing but I ended up ordering from the old menu photos I found on Yelp haha! It's always the best and the service is good! It's hard to get a seat at the bar now! read more

Always my favorite sushi spot for lunch and dinner...and the price!!! I love all the rolls, but my favorite is the Bravo Roll with crispy onions on top. Keep up the good work, you guys rock! read more

Joan took my phone order wrong and when I called back she implied I was lying. Very disappointed, not the first time your employee Joan takes the wrong order, but this time it was a very expensive mistake, Instead of 6 Salmon Belly sushi, which we order all the time, she gave us 6 orders of yellowtail belly ! We hardly order this. I hope the owner tells her to re check her phone orders. read more

This sushi is the closest to Japan that you can get. The yellowtail is my favorite. I have told all my friends about this place and this is the only sushi place I go to. Paul is the best chef ever! read more

Just ordered from this place yesterday. I was definitely pleased with the freshness and the size of the rolls they were perfect. I don't normally leave good referrals like this because I always find fault in some thing. But honestly the fish was completely fresh and one thing I noticed was they didn't pack on the rice which I loved. I ordered A crunch roll with soy wrap, and roll with salmon that had lemon on the top. It was really good really fresh I've been eating sushi for 30 years sorry I can't remember the name of that role. Anyhow my biggest mistake was ordering it through Uber eats and having it delivered because it took Uber over an hour. But with that being said the food was still excellent. So good that I'm thinking about going back again today but this time I'll be either eating there or picking it up. And also by the way the fresh wasabi, it was exactly that fresh wasabi. read more

The rolls were a lot bigger than I thought. Definitely something you can share with someone. The crunch roll was okay, but it gets the job done. I can see myself coming back here especially if I'm in the Newport/costa Mesa area read more

Sushi Town - Combination 4. Roll Combination - Japanese Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've been coming here for about 10 years, but a lot more often in the past two years or so. During that time they have changed ownership and remodeled. Prices have gone up recently just like elsewhere, but this is still a better value than most other places I have found (now if only they would do the same with the price for hot tea...). What I like about this place is their consistency: always friendly, consistently fresh fish, and the generous portions of fish on the nigiri & sashimi orders. I typically order one of the roll/nigiri combination meals (comes with miso soup and a side salad), but my favorite item on the menu is probably their sashimi salad. It's not a fluke, we keep coming back because they are consistent and we have yet to be disappointed. read more

Sashimi salad is the recommendation I give. The sushi rolls are ok they aren't the best but they aren't bad. The spider roll is my favorite everything else is ok read more

When I'm craving some sushi but either 1) don't want to drive out to Orange and wait for a seat at Ohshima or 2) don't want to spend a grip at Ootoro or Hamamori for quality fish, Sushi Town is the place to go. I usually am concerned when I enter a restaurant and it doesn't look like they specialize in serving sushi because the quality of the fish is often times not the best. Boy, did Sushi Town teach me a lesson on judging a book by its cover. Sushi: fresh, tasty, well-dressed. Hesitant to commit to an omakase set, my friend and I ordered a la carte. By the end of the meal, after savoring each tasty little slice of fish we ordered, we knew we had to come back for the omakase one day-- didn't know that day would be the follow week. Rolls: curious if this would be a friendly place for people who don't prefer raw fish, we tried the rolls. These were a few notches better than typical sushi restaurants out there. Not overly drenched in sauce and well-put together. All in all, great food! Service: -1 star. The servers are terrible almost every time I visit but the sushi chefs are pretty fun and lively which slightly improves the experience. Parking: on a crowded night (usually weekends) parking is a pain! Small parking lot and one way streets make it hard to come back to if you miss it. read more

Sushi Town - Outdoor patio is closed - Japanese Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Food is good, service was unfriendly. Came here for dinner one night and wanted to sit outside on the patio. The servers were not happy for some reason and refused to clean the patio for us. We stood and waited for awhile while the servers gave us dirty looks before reluctantly cleaned one of the tables. We ordered a few rolls to share and the food is pretty good, good quality ingredients, and the fish was fresh. Once again, our server was extremely absent, ignored us the entire time except to bring us our food and then disappeared forever. We could probably have waltzed out without paying and they probably wouldn't have noticed. Overall mediocre experience, service could definitely use some improvements. read more

SO disgusted right now. I've eaten at Sushi town at least one a month for the last year or so and its usually pretty good, but there have been times when the service and quality were off...still, I gave them the benefit if the doubt. Tonight was the cherry on my Bummer sundae - and I'll never come back. After a long flight I decided to drop in around 7:30 tonight for dinner. Long story short, the waiter was too busy trying to pick up two adorable ICU students to be bothered with bringing me a lousy glass of water, much less take my order (which consisted of picking up my sushi order card I'd filled out and handing it to the sushi chef). He took their extensive order and literally looked at me, and said "I'll be back in a few minutes to get your order." I was already holding the order card out to him and said "But it's completed already." He snatched it and stomped off. Less than 10 minutes later he began bringing the table who ordered seconds before me their food...while I waited, and waited....and waited. I still didn't even have a glass of water. After the young ladies recieved not only their appetizer, but all of ther sushi AND cooked entres, I literally looked at my waiter and said to myself "He's got 3 minutes to bring me that water or I'm out." Unfortunately, he came in just under the wire with the H2o =/ My hand roll was finally delivered just as the ICU students received their bill. I order the same handroll every.single.time I'm there, and while I love spicey, this was simply inedieble - it was packed with Jalapeno. I even tried removing the scallops and rinsing them off in the soy sauce because my waiter absolutley refused to come over when I tried to wave him down. When that didnt work, I simply tossed in the towel (and the nasty hand roll) and waited for my rolls to arrive. The first was okay, but the second was A) NOT what I ordered - so when my waiter ignored me again, I though "What the heck - I'll try something new - I might like it"...unfortunately, I do not like funky gym socks soaked in vinegar. One piece and I literally had to spit it out. When he did bring my bill for $30 and change, he didn't ask how things were or anything. I'm pretty sure he knew. I wrote "Worst meal & service ever - 2 of 3 items totally inedible" across the top and he got a big fat ZERO for a tip, something I have never done in my entire life. Of course he bum rushed the register as I appraoached, so I asked politely to speak to the manager. "Write your number down - I'll have him call you" was his response. I'd had it at this point and said "No, I need to speak to him NOW." The manager finally arrived, and even after I conveyed my experience to him all he could do was say "I'm sorry." No offer to remove the charge for the uneaten handroll or the roll which was literally sitting within 10 feet missing one piece they were so bad. I'm pretty pissed that I basically ended up eating a completely mediocre roll, which, after the charges for the two inedible pieces of bait, worked out to $3.75 per bite. As I said: Worst service and food ever. Run!!! PS: if you don't run, please be prepared for the overly aggressive panhandlers...there was one there two weeks ago, with, and I kid you not, a machete parked on the bench at the front door drinking beer. Keep it Classy Sushi Town. :-/ read more

My craving for sushi led our party here on a Saturday night. Place is pretty small so we waited for about 45 minutes to get a table at 8:30pm. There are 5 tables inside that seats 4 each and a sushi bar that seats about 16 people. They also have a patio area with some tables but it wasn't open that evening--reason unknown to me. I don't know anyone who likes to wait but it's always a good sign when there's one. HERE'S WHAT I TRIED: **Uni Sushi---Fresh, fresh, fresh! Something I cannot NOT order when having sushi. To have started with this and an ice cold bottle of Kirin was already releasing endorphins in my system. I was in a happy place. $5.50 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-town-costa-mesa?select=37UePPOeDz7b59Z3mdstQA#g-x24Ngqc2QUU6-krgWFVA **White Cucumber Roll---Healthy sushi if you will. No rice...just tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and crabmeat wrapped in cucumber with some house sauce that works so perfectly with this creation. Clean flavors and very refreshing. I looooooove it! $8.99 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-town-costa-mesa?select=37UePPOeDz7b59Z3mdstQA#CSpx6AM3WeYHifClQuXALw **Maru Special Roll---Scallops and dollops of spicy tuna on top of rolls of avocado, cucumber, and crabmeat with a semi-sweet and creamy special sauce. This is baked to perfection so it takes a while for this dish to come out. It's worth the wait! Rich and flavorful, this roll can be quite filling. $9.99 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-town-costa-mesa?select=37UePPOeDz7b59Z3mdstQA#b8saWVNIY8lcabDQL6sbzw **Volcano Roll---No better way to name it! This one just explodes with flavor in your mouth. Tasty, tasty, tasty! My daughter enjoyed this a lot. Wrapped in baked salmon, this is perfect for those who have a fondness to this fish. Portion is smaller compared to other rolls. $6.99 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-town-costa-mesa?select=37UePPOeDz7b59Z3mdstQA#Yhu56q03Ku-Np0fujn_Smg **Hawaiian Roll---This was my least favorite. Spicy tuna and cucumber topped with Albacore. It's A-OK compared to the rest that I've had all night which were fantastic! The tuna on tuna didnt quite cut it for me. A bit too fishy. $8.99 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-town-costa-mesa?select=37UePPOeDz7b59Z3mdstQA#6jNm_x_YaFx_qoV_oBXSnA **Tempura Green Tea Ice Cream---Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness! Here I was thinking I was too full for dessert but man, this was the cherry on my ice cream. Serving was bigger than I expected it to be and the tempura batter is so addicting. No better way to have ended this night. I was a happy camper! $4.50 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-town-costa-mesa?select=37UePPOeDz7b59Z3mdstQA#EemGIaxt_VhLGnp6FMl7tQ SERVICE: Two people serving with three sushi chefs behind the counter. Food didn't come out as quick as I hoped it would be. We were one of the last few patrons of the night so it wasn't busy anymore and yet I had to get up from our table twice to find our server. Perhaps some work on this area? Nonetheless, I'm just glad to have found another good sushi place that's reasonably priced. I left this place with a big smile on my face :D read more

If you're looking for some high quality fish and well crafted rolls, without the steep prices of a top end sushi restaurant, Sushi Town will hit the spot. The affordable segment of the sushi game is probably the hardest segment to get right. Personally, I'm always on the lookout for reasonably priced spots, but the thought of possibly eating sub-par raw fish makes it difficult for me to venture out. But after visiting here the other night, I was pleasantly surprised to find some outstanding values and more importantly, deliciously fresh fish. The first things that comes to mind when I see Korean speaking sushi chefs behind the counter are fancy American-style rolls, along with a hefty dose of skepticism. And judging by the vast majority of the clientele that night, there were no shortage of fancy rolls on display, complete with exotic names and doused with the requisite scallions and teriyaki sauce. But beyond that, their featured specials of the day included suprisingly good cuts of aji and blue fin tuna nigiri. The uni was very reasonably priced at $5.50 and completely solid. Some other pleasant surprises included the generously portioned yellow tail collar and their moderately priced selection of filtered and unfiltered sake. So if you're somewhat of a sushi snob that's looking for an affordable meal, don't dismiss this place just because of it's pedestrian name and odd location. What matters is what's on the inside, and Sushi Town is full of good food and even better value. read more

Located right along the 57 Freeway, Sushi Town is nestled in a small plaza that is difficult to find unless you're looking for it. Their menu consists of sushi, as well as lunch and dinner entrees, soups, noodles, salads, and combination plates. Service: We were seated in the back corner, so we were rarely checked on. It was difficult to get our server's attention since we couldn't even see her around the corner! Food: - Sesame Chicken - Marinated and lightly fried in a "special" sauce. This tasted like it was frozen and reheated! It was pretty dry and left a chalky aftertaste. They give a huge portion, but what's the point if it doesn't even taste good! - Dynamite Roll - Baked scallops, crab meat, and giant clams on a California roll, then drizzled with sauce and topped with masago and green onions. There was a LOT going on in this roll. Very filling. - BSAR Roll - Baked asparagus and crab meat with salmon, drizzled with sauce and topped with masago and green onions. Not bad! They gave a generous portion of salmon draping the roll. - House Salad - Comes with a Ginger Dressing. Nothing special, but as one of the cheapest things on the menu, I think this is supposed to be your basic, no-frills salad. read more

Review is for take-out only! I have a weekly sushi craving that must be satisfied. Due to COVID-19, I wasn't sure how I was going to satisfy my weekly sushi itch but thanks to Sushi Town, I was well-prepared to face quarantine. Their sushi is A-OK. It doesn't taste bad, hits the spot. Is it the best sushi I've ever had? Absolutely not. But like I said, it's decent for the price and the quality is not bad. Typical order: - Spicy Scallop Roll - California Roll - Hawaiian Roll - Assorted Nigiri Their nigiri is again, OK. For this place, I would mostly stick to rolls (unless you're like me where you're craving nigiri and desperation would let you get almost anything). Take-out wise, they do a great job of packing up the sushi. Oftentimes I've had to wait quite a bit for my sushi during dinner hours to the sheer volume of orders but when it gets to my house it's nicely presented with all the typical fixings. Solid sushi take-out place. Gets the job done. read more

Best sushi restaurant I've been to. The fish is so fresh and delicious. The specialty rolls are incredible!!

Ambiance: *Parking | People generally park in the plaza and there is limited parking around the neighborhood away so be aware of parking time. *Seating | The space is fairly small. You have the choice of bar sitting, booth, or outside tables. It can fit about 50 people total. So be sure to plan accordingly *Feels | The location is quite hidden however people are quite familiar with this area. The place is right near the freeway so the scenery is nothing too extravagant but you are near some pretty good places. Sports is usually on the tv and top 40 music on the radio. Food: * Garlic Edamame | I enjoyed the elements of salt, garlic, and a spicy kick. A good and affordable appetizer before enjoying the meal. * Salmon belly | Two servings of salmon belly on rice. Simple, fresh and delicious. * MIE roll | Crab and * Philly Roll | Your typical philly roll with a good balance of cream cheese, salmon, and avocado. * Monkey Roll | If you are being cautious on carbs then I would recommend this. I really enjoyed the tempura crunch and the taste of the mushrooms. * King lobster roll | An above average roll with a good crunch and flavor of lobster. It easily fell apart on me so be careful on eating this one. Customer Service: The servers were pro-active and helpful. During our wait, the server gave us an honest wait time as oppose to servers giving an ideal time when things took a little longer. Overall: This place earns a solid 4 stars in my books. The price was affordable, service was good, and food was delicious. A good place to go in Costa Mesa if you want to avoid noise of the mall scenes. Advice: * This place is no longer a hidden gem. It can get busy and the plaza is quite small so come early to reduce your wait. read more
