Before going in, I called the restaurant and Trinity answered. She was so kind and helpful, answering my questions about food allergy accommodations and reassuring me that they could take care of us. Trinity ended up being our server as well, and she was absolutely wonderful--sweet, attentive, and somehow managed everything flawlessly on her own without ever making us feel neglected. As for the food...wow. The fish truly melts in your mouth, and you can tell everything is incredibly fresh. My husband is gluten free, and they went above and beyond to make sure his meal was completely safe. The only downside is that it's a bit pricier than some other spots in town, but honestly, the quality and service make it worth read more

Came in for dinner on Friday night on a whim since I was craving sushi and it wasn't too far. We were seated right away since there wasn't a line. The ambience was really cozy and the restaurant was decorated nicely but still felt casual enough. Service was a tad bit slow but there was only about 4 total staff I saw around so understandable. Our sushi came first and wow, the quality surprised me. I tried several different things like bluefin tuna, amberjack, yellowtail, scallops and salmon. Soooo good. The quality reminded me of going to omakase vs typical AYCE places. Every piece was really good! We got some other stuff like the karaage which was super crispy, udon tempura which was perfectly fried, and oysters which was ok. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and this may be our go to sushi place from now on! read more

Nice local sushi spot with fresh fish, lots of options from sashimi, bento boxes, udon, sushi rolls, etc. Everything is reasonably priced for the quality and all of the dishes I ordered were delicious. It wasn't too busy on a Tuesday night but I can imagine the weekend being busier since it's not a huge spot. read more

DAI Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Westminster, California

DAI Sushi has undoubtedly become one of my new favorite places to get sushi in Orange County. It's just that good! Everything is so reasonably priced considering it's seafood, and the quality of all the fish is to die for! I'm so incredibly grateful to my friend for introducing me to this place. My most recent visit to DAI Sushi was on a Thursday around lunchtime, and surprisingly, it was not very crowded. I think people are missing out on this hidden gem. The establishment is quite small and there aren't a ton of staff members, so I think it'd be an overwhelming experience if there were a line out the door for seating. FOOD: (5/5) Everything I've had here was mind-blowingly delicious, especially the nigiri. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the pieces of sushi/nigiri, but my favorites were definitely the bluefin tuna, miso black cod, salmon, and the Japanese scallop. I think I will be dreaming about the Japanese scallop sushi. Not pictured since I didn't get it during my most recent visit, but I also highly recommend the creamy mentaiko pasta. It's soooo tasty. I regret not getting it during my recent stop to DAI Sushi. SERVICE: (4.5/5) I will say that I think service can be pretty slow even when there aren't a lot of other patrons. It can take a hot minute to get your food, especially when compared to other, bigger sushi establishments. However, I believe the food is so worth it that I can't even really complain. All my interactions with staff were pleasant as well. Our server was super personable, attentive, and informative about the menu. TLDR// I will always be back when I'm in the area and craving sushi. This place is so underrated, and people who choose to skip on DAI Sushi are doing themselves a disservice. Yum! Yum! Yum! read more

Brought my sister here and she loved it! We ordered the mentaiko udon, Japanese scallop, Japanese amberjack, jalapeño yellowtail, squid, salmon, albacore, black miso cod & sea bream. Everything was absolutely delicious like always The sushi was so delicious, my sister's favorites were the jalapeño yellowtail, squid, black miso cod, Japanese scallop and amberjack. We ended up ordering another round of those nigiris The chef gave us a specialty hand roll on the house too! They said they were testing out some recipes to add onto their menu, so I hope they add it on because it was sooooo good... it was a hand roll with blue crab, ankimo, uni topped with truffle caviar.. boy.... it literally melted in our mouth Service is always great & food hits everytime! I love coming back here and I'm glad that they're getting busier read more

could not pass up a 50% sushi deal! DAI sushi was so yummy and had the best vibes. i was in love with the decor of the restaurant that transports you back to Japan and all the Studio Ghibli artwork they only do walk-in reservations so the wait was pretty long on a Saturday night around 8:30, we had to wait a whole hour before being seated and we ended up being one of the last people being served. several groups came after us and were turned away so try to come before 8:30 on a weekend to make last call and anticipate the long wait!! you can always shop in the nearby plaza while you wait for your turn :) when we finally ordered, everything was super fresh and delicious. our faves included the scallop roll, the miso cod sushi and sea bream sushi. despite the long wait, the service was great and staff was so friendly, we ended up spending a little more than we were hoping with the 50% off but we would definitely return! read more

A hidden gem with sushi quality well worth the price! Will definitely be back, I'm craving already just writing this review. Quality of the fish is amazing. I'm not picky but I hate it when Salmon has a sea taste to it. Neither salmon or tuna had that after taste at all. Huge win (really hard to find places that don't). Sashimi Roll: so good! They even add cavier to our roll cause it was empty! Rainbow Roll: huge pieces and a lot of fish! Bento Box Special: the tempura , was to die for! Karaage was more breading than chicken so I would try something else. Blue fin Tuna and Salmon Nigiri: must get. Thick fish pieces and they were 50% of!! Service was on par with high end restaurants! They gave us a free miso soup since the bento came with one and my partner didn't get one. Super attentive and always helpful! Parking is a little small but easy to get. May have to walk a little bit down to get to the bigger lot! read more

The restaurant is slightly dim inside but I personally thought it had a nice and cozy ambience . They are currently having a a 50% off sushi and so we took advantage of the deal and tried a few items. We ordered Sashimi Salad, blue fin tuna , yellowtail sushi's , octopus sushi, salmon avocado roll, bake salmon rolls, truffle salmon, sunset rolls, sushi seeing that it came out quick and was so melt in your mouth delicious.The fish here is incredibly fresh , The prices were great compared to other nearby sushi places . Customer service should pay attention more to the clients! read more

This sushi spot is kind of lowkey and casual in ambiance but the food quality is high! It is so so good! Pro-tip, get the tako wasabi! Great as a topping to your sushi but also I ate it as if it was a side dish itself. The oyster shooters were fun, would skip on the uni shooter and get another oyster instead. Loved all of the nigiri that we ordered, all super fresh and the presentation was beautiful! Had takeout from here once also and that was also super well packaged and fresh. The service is nice and standard! Had the ice cream tempura/fried ice cream here and that was just okay, the fried exterior did not stick well to the ice cream so that could be a skip. read more

Half price sushi and large bento boxes drew us in for dinner here. Sushi tasted fresh and food came out quickly. I'm impressed with the size and value of the bento boxes. I got chicken and salmon teriyaki. The chicken was cooked to be a bit crispy/tough is the only way I could describe it but I like this texture so thoroughly enjoyed it. We also orders the udon and it was just ok. East parking. Casual. Indoor seating. Please come and crest our own experience. read more

Cute interior and great quality sushi! We went for lunch on a Sunday and were able to be seated immediately. The half price sushi's are a great deal, and the fish is very fresh.

Dai Sushi is a hidden gem in Westminster that instantly gives you that cozy, laid-back vibe. As soon as you walk in, the Studio Ghibli décor catches your eye -- Totoro and Spirited Away touches that make the space feel warm and unique. Came here for lunch and went straight for the nigiri -- salmon, seared tuna, salmon eel, and tamago. Everything tasted super fresh, and the rice had that perfect balance of fluffy and seasoned, which really makes a difference. The seared tuna in particular hit that melt-in-your-mouth spot. We also shared a bento box, and it was solid all around. Good portions, tasty sides, and felt like a good value for the quality. Overall, this is the kind of sushi spot I'd come back to whenever I'm in the area. Chill atmosphere, fresh fish, and a creative touch with the rolls and décor. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something a little more personal and cozy than your usual sushi chain. Service was amazing and attentive! read more

Sushi + Studio Ghibli Decor = I'M THERE! Once you walk in, it's super cozy. There are studio ghibli prints on the wall to keep you entertained while you wait for your food (which comes out quickly)!

DAI Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Westminster, California

I Was craving sushi and seen DAI sushi while visiting the new Hmart next door last week. I originally ordered for pick up via yelp, however, my order was not received. The employee who answered my call- and informed me they did not receive an order- was kind enough to help me place an order via phone and pick up asap. By the time I got there my order was ready. I did take my food to go- however, I noticed it wasn't too busy for a Friday afternoon. It appeared to be on the small side yet spacious. Quiet and dim, for an intimate lunch date or dinner. The food was amazing and decently priced. My order was pretty simple- mostly salmon dishes- however, I can't stop thinking about it! I plan on going back soon and trying other menu items! read more

One of my fav spots for sushi!

Overall a good time! read more

I wouldn't mind coming back to trying other rolls and items. read more

Check in for a free hot sake and 50% off some of the sushi pieces! Don't expect to be blown away here by ordering items like ramen, udon, beef, chicken teriyaki, shrimp sushi, cucumber roll etc... what really highlights this place is their fish quality! I have eaten many different omakase only places and the quality is right behind if not right there! There were some pieces that were just okay to me, but there were other pieces that were amazing, buttery melt in your mouth delicious! Here they are... Hits: 1. Salmon Belly 2. Yellowtail Belly 3. Japanese Scallop 4. Toro and blue fin tuna 5. Amberjack 6. Seabream 7. A5 Wagyu Okay (These pieces were decent): 1. Black Cod 2. Mackerel 3. Jalapeño yellowtail 4. Shrimp We also ordered the Premium sushi set for $35 which came with 12 pieces, a salad, miso soup, and a crab hand roll (The hand roll was super good, loved the soy paper wrap and the salad had a great sesame dressing) We also ordered appetizers such as crispy tuna rice and baked scallops, both pretty good as well. We ordered a ton of food and our bill was $150. Pretty affordable if you're looking for great quality sushi but don't want to go to an omakase place and pay $200 per person. The unique flavors and presentation is not like an omakase joint, but the sushi quality hits! Already can't wait to come back! read more

Ordered takeout for dinner because my parents prefer eating at home and wow the presentation! Sushi was nicely packaged with plenty of sauce on the side. Everything we ordered was so tasty and so fresh! My favorites were the yellowtail belly, salmon belly, and Dai special roll. I wanted to love the sashimi roll but it needed some crunch to it, perhaps if it were rolled in cucumber slice or had mango in it I think it would be perfect. Ordering togo on a Saturday night required a 30 minute wait, which wasn't so bad since I ordered by phone before going to pick up. The restaurant is fairly small and cozy and had many parties waiting out the door when I arrived. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

Staff was kind and made sure to check on my friends & I the entire time we were present. Aside from enjoying the great quality sushi, we had sat longer to chat and the staff were super cool about it. It was not too busy during lunch time on a Sunday so that was a plus, for us! The restaurant itself was not too small, but also not big. We tried the salmon, salmon belly, seared salmon, tuna, and eel nigiris shown in the photo and they were all delish! The fish was fresh and there was not too much rice. We also ordered a house salad and 2 sushi rolls. Total came up to $90ish pre tip for the 4 of us. Would definitely come back in the future if in the area. read more

DAI Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Westminster, California

I was super excited to try a new sushi spot, but this one fell flat. Since they recently opened, they are offering 50% sushi. We ordered a variety including yellowtail, tuna, sea bream, and mackerel to take advantage of the discount. However, all the sushi rice was dipped in soy sauce. When we picked up each piece of sushi, it left a puddle of excess soy sauce. We couldn't taste the fish or judge its quality. Our only assumption is that the soy sauce helps mask a lesser quality grade or cut of fish. We will sadly not be returning. read more

Had a delicious time here on a whim thanks to a quick Yelp search. I got the veggie croquette, yellow tail sushi, sunset (riceless) roll and a green tea. The sunset roll was super fat, as in jam packed. I feel like it could have been made into 7-8 pieces as opposed to the 4. It would have been easier for eating purposes. But the flavors were great and the fish was fresh! Would def come back here. The place itself is cute and cozy. I like how it was lowkey from the outside. That's my kind of place. read more

What a delight coming here on a Friday evening. My partner and I were seated right away when we arrived, with ample seating to choose from. We ordered a wide away of nigiri and 2 rolls. Some highlights of the nigiri include the miso black cod, yellowtail belly, bluefin tuna, and SALMON BELLY. It's been a hot minute since we've had such soft and umami-filled salmon...I am so content. Service was quick and we had our waters refilled quite often. You can tell the ambiance feels very authentic given the japanese music and 4K Japan walk video on the TV lol. Overall, I had a wonderful dinner and will be back for more. Thank you DAI Sushi :) read more

This place had a nice little set up. I came around lunch time and the seats seemed to fill up fast. I ordered a toro hand roll and the nabeyaki udon. The toro hand roll initially concerned me because the toro looked grayish, but it tasted fine; I just hope I'll feel fine later. I also ordered the Nabeyaki Udon, which is udon in a hot pot. The udon was absolutely filling and was really good. The servers checked up on us multiple times and were great. I would 100% come back and I enjoyed my food and experience here at Dai Sushi. read more

We've been here a few times, with one of them being my birthday (though that wasn't a very great experience) and most have been enjoyable! The sushi is fair priced, and it's good enough! They boast a good deal of 50% off sushi sometimes but you have to make sure you know what that means (not sashimi, not nigiri, mostly just rolls). If you're recognizable with the sushi chef, they're quite kind and generous, sending you things as gifts sometimes (thank you!). The restaurant looks alright, but is often understaffed. Service isn't mean, just always feels like there's not enough or forgettable. Still, served with a smile mostly. The type of place I go to when I'm just having a hankering for sushi and just want something quick, easy, and generally affordable. read more
