Inside
Susie G.

The food was absolutely amazing. We had a California roll, spicy tuna roll, and sashimi bento box. Everything was fresh. The miso soup was delicious, too. And the restaurant itself is clean. The staff is also very nice and attentive.

Angry tail, garlic albacore, yellowfin tuna

I ordered the 12 piece omakase and my husband for the BOGO rolls, garlic albacore, and yellowfin tuna. The omakase pieces were large and tasted great. My favorite are amaebi and hotate. I love it when they fry the shrimp head. My husband really liked the garlic albacore. Music was pleasant and the staff was nice. Would come back again for such a good omakase deal!

Kizami

The place is not very big but very quaint. Seems like good amount of seating with none at the bar. I liked the decor including the mural and endless bottles of sake. I came here off another friend's recommendation and for another friend's bday. I was a but skeptical given the paper menu but boy this place did not disappoint. We called in a day before to reserve the omakase which I believe days it on the website. The omakase was delicious! 15 pieces of $61 seems like a steal compared to other sushi restaurants. If i remember correctly it was tuna, salmon belly, hamachi belly, king shrimp, albacore, halibut, amaebi with fried shrimp head, black sea perch, scallop, squid, toro, wagyu, eel, tamago, uni. All of them were amazing especially the toro and wagyu. It looks like it came with miso soup too which was a good starter. They also had hamachi rib bones which were a first for me but also delicious. Ankimo is one of favorites so ordered the sashimi and was delicious as well. Im really glad they had kizami wasabi which alot of places dont carry. The wait staff was very nice and attentive. Refilled our drinks fairly regularly and cleaned up our table whenever we finished a dish so we would have room. Overall I would definitely come back and recommend this to anyone.

Yummy food, delicious drinks!! Awesome and friendly service! Makes for a lovely date!!

Kurodai Sushi

This has been a goto spot for me and it's not for the rolls. I get their nigiri and specific fish are super fresh. I recommend their Hamachi, Kurodai, Hamachi Toro, and Hamachi Jalapeño. I guess you could say that I like my Yellowtail. I am normally a big salmon fan, but their salmon is really bland and I noticed even with soy sauce it still doesn't really taste that great. Within that last few years I've really grown to like scallops, so I normally like trying them at every sushi spot that has them, but theirs are one of the ones that do not taste fresh. However, other than that, I would highly recommend giving them a try!

My husband and I were looking for a good Omakase sushi restaurant. And Yelp gave pretty good review on this place, so we gave it a try. The price for 8 pieces Omakase is only $32. The price was really good. And any roll you order is BOGO for 50%. So we ordered 2 "8 pieces Omakase" and 2 rolls. The Omakase was a disappointment. The pieces were just regular fishes, no Black Cod, no Cherry Salmon,... The quality of the fish was average only. They were kind of tasteless. In addition we also ordered a Caterpillar Roll and a Salmon Lover Roll. The rolls were not bad for the price. Service was great. The decor was minimalist. It's a good place for sushi roll, not so much for Omakase sushi.

Solid spot with a lot of good deals (buy 1 get, get one 50% off rolls) Hirame, sushi 3pc $7.50; I like the yuzu, definitely worth it for the price Hamachi toro 2pc $8.50, solid, very good Scallop sushi 2pc $7.99, this was really a melt in your mouth feel. I recommend Spicy tuna hand roll $6.50; standard hand roll, muy bueno Pacific half dozen oysters $17.99, these were on the smaller side for pacific oysters which was good, but they were still too big for me. It was hard to eat, but still fresh if you're okay with the size. They didn't have the Kumamoto oysters today sadly. Albacore carpaccio $13.50 Rainbow roll $14.99 + Summer roll $15.99; got this togo Saba sushi 3pc $6.00, not sure why I got this, I don't even really enjoy eating saba Disclaimer: Free beer with Yelp review

I was craving sushi and saw the omakase options which intrigued me. My partner and I ordered the 12 piece sushi omakase for $42/pp. We enjoyed all the fish selections except for the cooked shrimp and halibut. I am not sure why you would include cooked shrimp because it's so basic. I would rather have another piece of fish. I am not sure if the halibut was supposed to be crunchy but the texture was a little strange and I wasn't a fan. I feel like the tamago and shrimp were filler pieces so you're really getting 10 pieces of substancial seafood. We also ordered an additional crunchy salmon roll which had crispy onions on top. We arrived an hour before closing so it was pretty empty on a Sunday night. The server was nice but I wish she told us what each piece of fish was. I had an idea but I am not really sure. It's not your typical Japanese omakase experience which checks out since I heard them speaking Korean but the fish was fresh and I was full. While nothing special stands out, I would still recommend giving them a try!

Hidden Gem found in Orange next to Target called Daoni Sushi and Sake. I came here by chance not expecting much but I was quite surprised by the charm and ambience of this little restaurant. I ordered their Omakase sashimi plate full of assortment of fresh delicious fish of the day. It paired well with my uni masago and ankimo rice bowl. Just the perfect size for a nice lunch time treat. You will definitely enjoy their wide selection of premium rolls and savory dishes too. They were out of their famous Bluefin Toro but everything else here more than satisfied my hungry craving. Definitely had to taste the Famous Hamachi Kama and Aburi. So Good. So come today and try something fresh from the sea. You will be glad you did.

Bento box was amazing!
Luis M.

Some of the freshest and best sushi I have had! Services great and very quick, we didn't wait too long for our food!

I made a reservation for the bar (we wanted to do Omakase), and when we arrived at 5:30pm, there was a huge line out the door! Highly recommend a reservation if you do come here. We got seated and our chef's name was Steve. Huge shoutout to Steve, he was incredible, so kind, and provided a wonderful service and experience. We did the 10 piece omakase option and everything was amazing! We also got the Mushroom Miso Soup, Uni Pasta & Pork Belly dish (highly recommend all of these). One more note I wanted to add - from start to finish, the service here was truly wonderful. From our sushi chef, to all of the servers walking around - our waters were always refilled, dirty plates were taken and clean ones were given. Small things that make the entire experience amazing and keep you wanting to come back. Love this spot & can't wait to come again!

Tuna otoro & toro (middle left to right) - Best pieces. Super soft and melts in your mouth especially the otoro. Scallop, yellowtail, salmon (bottom left to right) - The plum topping on the scallop was kinda strange. Scallop was good otherwise and so was the yellowtail. I preferred the cherry salmon over the Scottish salmon. The Scottish had a firmer texture.

Food is delicious & price is reasonable. Service was quick & attentive. My daughter wants to come here for her birthday (her favorite place). We ordered Double Baked Salmon ($16), Caliente ($18). Caliente is my daughter's absolute favorite. She will order this plate every single time we go. Sunkist ($16) Double Albacore ($16) Popcorn crawfish ($8). All were excellent except Popcorn Crawfish (mostly just the fried batters) After we finished our food, the birthday celebration begins. Light was dimmed, up beats birthday song on the speaker. The waitresses came to our table to give the bday girl a build in lighted paper flower crown to wear on her head while clapping & singing a birthday song. They also brought a plate of Green Tea flavor fried mochi ice cream with candle. The Mochi ice cream was so so good & it's free. It was so special. What a nice surprise! Since then, we have been back many times, especially on our birthdays. Thank you Heemo & staffs for the great experience. We will see you soon

Between the TVs and the music, the place doesn't feels lower scale. They don't do the warm towels or anything. Just feels like maybe they are catering to a white person crowd who doesn't know better. Even the couple next to me were debating whether they should ask the staff to turn it down. Why not just have it be a classy quiet Japanese joint? The main older lady who serves people has trouble understanding English but she seems nice enough. I would be careful if you're gluten free. They use this old reused GF soy sauce bottle and maybe refill it from somewhere else and it's hard to rely on.
