Uni Cream Pasta
Tricky N.

My boyfriend wanted to take me out to a nice sushi place for my 30th birthday and we were originally trying to go elsewhere only for it to be closed down. We stumbled onto here by accident and boy was it the happiest accident anyone could ever ask for! Immediately the vibe was super cozy, cute, but sexy all at once. Loved the city pop music playing on the background while the servers were all endearing and attentive willing to answer all your questions. Then the food came out and we were absolutely floored! My boyfriend and I are notorious for being AYCE lovers but have been looking for a solid a la carte place and were chasing quality instead. We ordered the Uni Cream Pasta, two Sushi Dinner Sets, a Chirashi Don, and felt the siren call to also have three orders of Bluefin Tuna Belly on the side with one of them being seared. Every bite was one of the best bites of sushi I've ever had. Everything is so buttery and melty and the quality absolutely shows! They were also nice enough to provide a complimentary order of ice cream and we got the green tea ice cream with honey drizzle and nuts. Not to mention the yummy drinks we ordered I especially loved the Midori Matcha Oat Latte Cocktail. Best believe, we WILL be back

Golden Eye Snapper (Kinmedai) Sashimi
Tiffany P.

I love sushi, but to my surprise, I think I actually love their pasta a little more! Mentaiko Cream Pasta: Delish! Rich, creamy, comforting, and super umami. Paired with delicately crispy bread slices that we used to scrape the plate clean. Chirashi Don: Great variety of fresh seafood over a generous portion of seasoned rice. Filling and could easily feed two people. Gump Roll: A solid choice for anyone who doesn't eat fish or isn't into raw seafood. Golden Eye Snapper (Kinmedai) sashimi: Always stoked to see this on a sushi menu! The seared skin creates a firm textural contrast to the delicate, sweet meat. Would prefer a yuzu garnish. Seafood Cream Nabe: Rich, creamy broth packed with seafood. Definitely on the heavier side - best shared with the table. Beyond the food, the service was great. The restaurant has a quaint, local feel that makes it perfect for a casual hangout or a low-key date night.

This sushi spot is the definition of a hole in the wall. I've been passing by this place for a couple of years and never thought to try it until now. The food is superb and the service is even greater.

Jeffery N.

Really enjoyed this spot! Great service and nice little sushi shop with a homie feel. Came off the whim and was not disappointed. We had the uni noodles, some nigiri and the crispy rice I believe. Really enjoyed everything, except the uni pasta; however, that might be personal preference because my friend liked it. Everything was well portioned and fresh as sushi should be. Would go again!

Super quaint local spot, with a huge menu that has something for everyone. From small apps, noodles, soup, to an extensive list of sushi (rolls, nigiri, and more) you can definitely find something on the menu to satisfy your craving. I got the king shrimp Nanban, eggplant katsu, and lunch sushi set for $24.99, which comes with 10 nigiri, 2 slices of maki roll, salad, and miso soup. Talk about value! The fish was fresh and tasty, I would recommend for a little lunch date if you want to treat yourself. The service is super attentive and thorough, checking in on us throughout the meal to see how we are doing and clear out our plates. If you're in Huntington Beach or just want a solid sushi spot, this is the place!

Had the omakase here and it was fantastic. The fish was fresh, every piece was full of flavor, and the chef clearly knew his craft. Would come back.

Lime cocktail
Linda V.

Have not been here since it was called Dai Sushi. Decided to come in and try it out on a date night on a Friday evening, no reservations. We got there and got seated at the last available booth. Score! No wait. We ordered cocktails to start then our entrees. It was a no brainer I got the tiger roll, as I look for unagi and salmon anywhere I go to see if I can get a roll with both in it. Topped with tobiko was a nice touch, it would've been nice if all pieces had tobiko but oh well. We also got complimentary edamame, which was good but overly salted to make you order more lol Bf ordered the salmon skin roll, which came out topper with fried onions. There was an asterisk next to each of our rolls and we didn't know why but didn't ask about. Turns out our rolls came out spicy so I think that's what the asterisks meant. Didn't matter a whole lot because the rolls were both very good. For cocktails I asked our server which drink is sweeter, the plum based one at the top or the lime one below it. She said just depends on what taste you're going for but she said the lime one is popular and refreshing, so I went with that. Both were good but I preferred my lime cocktail more. Will definitely look forward to coming back!

Came here for a weekday lunch and it was packed! Scallop Crudo (5/5); included ikura and the scallop is ceviche style. The flavor was very tropical and flavorful. The ikura gave an extra flavor that made it feel luxurious. Sushi set lunch (5/5): For only $25, this was a steal! Comes with 10 pieces of nigiri and 2 pieces of futomaki. The fish tasted fresh and flavorful. This was basically an omakase! Overall, this is a great place if you want affordable sushi and Japanese food

Michelle N.

YES YES YES!!! so much bang for your buck!! I got the lunch special which includes miso soup, small salad, and 12 pieces of sushi. I sat at the counter and the server was attentive to my needs. Their water tasted kinda funky though, it tasted like pure lemon rind..kinda bitter. 10/10 would come back!!

Sara N.

Came for a late light dinner and so glad I did. It's spacious inside for a small restaurant and the service was great and quick. I had the best seared salmon ever here! It was so soft and creamy that it melted in your mouth. All the flavors were there. Yellowtail sashimi were deliciously, and the oysters were also top favorites. If you are ever in the area, definitely come here. Best quality sushi fora good price!

Sashimi
Brittany P.

The fish was definitely fresh and you could tell they use great quality ingredients! Was definitely impressed by the dishes but the only thing is that it's quite pricey here. The restaurant is also a bit on the smaller side so there will likely be a wait during peak hours.

Jazzmine M.

New favorite sushi spot in Orange County! Sat at the bar at this small intimate restaurant. Super fresh fish, they even had hibachi that was caught that morning. Huge fan of the oyster crudo and agidashi tofu. Staff were super friendly and attentive and everything came out pretty fast. Would definitely come back, with both clients and friends.

uni cream pasta
Lily L.

I could be biased because I really loved Dai Sushi which was the sushi place before Tsukiyo Sushi. But my friends and I decided to give it a try and unfortunately, it just didn't hit the mark. We ordered the cinco de aburi, uni cream pasta, takoyaki, lion king roll, tsukiyo roll, and the spider roll. The cinco de aburi had a nice peppery taste and was presented beautifully. The uni cream pasta had a sliver of uni - which is probably why it is priced $19.99. It was creamy and quite delicious. I wish I had more of the uni flavor and maybe masago/fish roe to help develop a more seafood profile. The rolls weren't anything that wow'ed us. Out of the three rolls, we liked the tsukiyo special roll the best. The spider roll was our least favorite. The servers were friendly though and even allowed us to have a cake for our friend's bday!

Is it more pricey now than when it was Dai?

Yes. Bluefin tuna is now 9.99 instead of 4.50. Most nigiri is around $7-9. Quality is the same as dai.

We are all very happy with the quality of ingredients and variety offered. It was appreciated that most items had a refreshing aspect so we did not stop as early as we thought. The menu is clearly very thought out and made with care. It was also convenient to order through a phone as well. I do have to say I was disappointed in the Uni pasta and wagyu sliders. These items were my favorite when i went near opening but it seems like the changed the recipe/preparation method for it and skimped on the uni by A LOT. In additions, we tried three rolls and did not particularly like any of them. Perhaps they should revisit this part of the menu. Tom yum was too sweet and lackluster too but that's me being picky. Overall, the $55 menu is a solid choice and you will leave happy and full (with a bonus ice cream in the end too!) Other notes: lots of parking large plaza

As we ordered our first items, the first bite was a sashimi and come to see there is a strand of hair in the sushi. I told the server right away, and he wasn't very apologetic at all. We decided to carry on with our dinner and mid way into our meal, we ordered the hamachi sashimi. Before taking a bite, I noticed a strand in the piece of sushi, so i pulled it out and it turned out to be a long strand if fabric in the sushi. I showed our server and he came back and said "it was just a piece of fabric from our towel" in a way to make us feel better... towel shouldn't be in food. They decided to give us 15% off which is honestly not worth it for the experience and service we got. We asked to speak to a manager but there was none on the floor and only a shift lead. No one seemed to care too much about the issue on hand, didn't even sound apologetic at all for this inconvenience and terrible incident. I will say the food was solid but from this experience I will definitely not come back.

The staff was also very attentive, friendly, and welcoming throughout our meal. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. Everything we ordered was delicious, and I honestly didn't have a single complaint. One of the highlights was the beef tongue skewer--it was incredibly tender and full of flavor. Every skewer we tried was excellent, and every dish exceeded my expectations. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I'd definitely come back again, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a solid izakaya experience.

After we graduated, we promised to have a little reunion here as adults when we were old enough to drink. This little reunion happened recently. My little sister, who is 17, knew I was meeting my friends for dinner and asked if she could come. Since I knew we would be drinking, I called the restaurant ahead of time to ask if she could sit with us since she wouldn't be drinking. They said no. If we were drinking, she couldn't be there. I thought it was unfortunate, but I told my sister she couldn't come to dinner with us. But what was really annoying is that after we ordered alcohol, our server didn't card us. I went out of my way to uninvite my sister because they said she couldn't be there, and they didn't even check. I thought it was a dumb rule in the first place, but it was really annoying that they didn't even enforce it after I went out of my way to ask. The pork belly skewers were really good. I can see why we used to come all the time as kids. Smoky and crispy. There's a big super traditional looking grill at the front of the restaurant, so I guess they're super serious about their skewers. The okonomiyaki was good too. We decided to try the rose tteokbokki since it was a new menu item, but we were unimpressed. There were barely any toppings inside. We also got the steamed squid, but I thought it was a bit overcooked. We might've stayed a little longer, but the sight of a cockroach climbing on our table sent a chill down our spines. We told a server that we saw a cockroach, but she just stared at us blankly and walked away without doing anything. After that, we had serious issues about the perceived cleanliness of the restaurant and left immediately.  I'm disappointed. In the end, I didn't get the warm and fuzzy nostalgic feeling I was yearning for. I think there were several interactions with the workers that they could have handled better. I cleared my little side quest, so I don't think I have a reason to ever return.
