It’s my last stop on a 4-day biz/leisure trip in Irvine. Had a nice and hearty lunch with a friend in Irvine before heading to Denver from SNA. The outdoor seating is nicer, but it is a bit hot today. The menu choices are quite extensive, and I like the tuna or salmon rolls with some Sashimi fresh salad, and of course, some Japanese green tea. Not many diners at lunch on Monday. Cheers!
Place is small so expect a wait during peak times. Service was ok 3 stars. Staff of 6 for 4 tables and I had to wave them down a few times. Sushi 2 stars. Rolls came apart right away and mind you I can use chopsticks with both hands. Plus, there was just to much rice used for the rolls and made them difficult to eat. Overall, 2 star experience.
Food is good.However there is 3rd party provide the menu and price in the Google map, which is very old information.I suggest the restaurant owner should ask the 3rd party to remove the menu and price, otherwise customers get confused.
Came here on Friday evening to have a dinner with a family. Ordered Unagodon and grilled mackerel. The unagidon was cold, like it was cooked in the morning and left to cool down at room temperature. Not sure if it's a common practice to prepare food earlier and serve it when client orders, but I wouldn't mind if they warmed the food up. Asked for a replacement. They brought slightly warmer food than it was before. It felt like I was eating leftover food from the day before. The mackerel was just warm. It didn't look like it was grilled right before they served it. Seemed like it was just warmed up.Usually we go to Irvine Spectrum's Japanese restaurant, but this time wanted to try something new. And we were quite disappointed.
Great menu of tasty treats❤️❤️
Very bad restaurant!??????The waiter's attitude is very bad! The food in the restaurant is dirty!I ordered two orders and waited for 90 minutes, and I missed one. If I want to cancel it, the waiter told me that I can't it.Take my money and make one less order. It's unreasonable.Throw my order out of the restaurant.Their staff are discriminated against.Very bad restaurant, don't go there.
Fresh and tasty sushi, great service. Love this place, will be back!
I ordered the Irvine roll and miso soup with seafood udon. The Irvine roll is taste fresh af, I also requested eel sauce on the side because I luv that stuff. The miso soup with the seafood and the noodles taste exactly how miso soup is supposed to be. I did take out and the host brought my order to me outside at the plaza. Overall, the sushi is delicious. My gf tried the dragon rolls, and a few others I can’t remember and was very happy. We are sushi connoisseurs, this is quite a western fusion restaurant but what matters is that it’s delicious and it was perfect.
Hadn't been to this place since before the pandemic. It's still most excellent. Though I no longer eat fish, they have a great selection of veggie sushi.
They had many take out orders with only two chefs, we had to wait 45 mins! To get our food!. Food itself was good but not worth $17. They don't even have soy sauce on the table and you should ask for it.You feel you are eating in the kitchen not restaurant. It's not nice dine in restaurant.
