Tried a sushi spot in Costa Mesa and ordered: * Miso Soup * Shishito Pepper * Baked Green Mussel (2pc) * New Style Yellowtail Sashimi * Salmon Sushi * Madai (Japanese Snapper) Sushi * Seared Jumbo Scallop Sushi * Cucumber Wrap * Baja California Roll Rating scale: 1 = would not order again, 5 = would totally order again Miso Soup - 5/5 Loved the flavor. Not too salty, super comforting, exactly what you want to start the meal. Shishito Pepper - 4/5 Flavor was great at first, but the more you ate it, the saltiness built up. First few bites? Amazing. By the end? A little overwhelming. Baked Green Mussel (2pc) - 3/5 What you'd expect. I'll always love a baked mussel, but nothing super standout. New Style Yellowtail Sashimi - 4/5 Fresh and enjoyable. Solid order. Salmon Sushi - 4/5 Classic. Exactly what you expect from good salmon sushi. Madai (Japanese Snapper) Sushi - 4/5 Really good -- clean, fresh flavor. Seared Jumbo Scallop Sushi - 3/5 Decent, but not something I'd run back for. Cucumber Wrap - 3/5 Didn't love it as much as I thought I would. The ponzu felt like it was missing something -- it was okay. Baja California Roll - 4/5 Better than the cucumber wrap. Definitely on the creamier side because of the spicy tuna and avocado filling. Overall, this place feels like AYCE vibes but you're just paying for what you eat. Pricing is standard. Everything tasted fresh and enjoyable. Service was super quick and friendly my food was literally dropped off by the time I came back from the restroom. I would definitely come back. Sushi is probably better with a group though you don't have to commit to everything yourself like I did I left feeling satisfied and content not overly stuffed, but perfectly full. Honestly, that's the best kind of sushi night. read more

We were in the area craving sushi and if you search sushi on Yelp this place is usually one of the top results. Came in around 8:30pm on a Tuesday and there was no wait. The menu is huge so we ordered a mix of nigiri and rolls. Some of the items we liked were the toro, jumbo scallop, sweet shrimp, and the pepper salmon. For rolls we tried the dragon, caliente, and fire island which tasted pretty much how you'd expect. I'll be honest, the meal reminded me a lot of an all you can eat sushi spot. For the price the quality is decent, nothing particularly special, but good enough to satisfy the craving. I do like that they offer some rolls in 4 piece portions which makes it easier for small groups to share and try more items. Food came out quickly and the service was attentive. It's kind of a good middle ground if you want AYCE style sushi quality without actually committing to an AYCE meal. read more

This was our first time here but most definitely not our last:) we got so many different options of seafood and side dishes, and all of it was delicious!!

The sushi was very fresh and delicious!! The poke salad is a must get! It was so big! I really like the rolls. Got the sushi blossom which had tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and albacore. The in n out salmon was perfect since the salmon was so fresh. Even though we got rolls with a lot of salmon we still got the salmon sashimi. Overall very good sushi and for a good price! People were lining up outside before the place opened so I feel like it's a great sign! Service was great! Would recommend! read more

Came to Eat Sushi on a Saturday and there was about a 20-minute wait, which honestly wasn't bad at all. I love that you can join the waitlist from your car as long as you're within a 5-mile radius. The inside is cozy but cutely decorated. The dragon ceiling immediately catches your attention. We ordered a bunch of appetizers, but the real standout for me was the nigiri. I seriously wish I had ordered more. My favorites were the fatty tuna and the sweet shrimp. The fatty tuna just melts, and the sweet shrimp was so delicate and fresh. I might just order all sweet shrimp next time. They also fry the head of the sweet shrimp for u and its so good!! Service was solid, especially considering how busy it was. read more

For our first visit this was AMAZING!!! Quality of ingredients were fresh. So hard to pick a favorite, we demolished all of it. Got here right before they opened for lunch to avoid a long wait. Was seated quickly and the food came out in a good pace. Nice decor inside. I only wish the parking lot was nicer. read more

There is a reason this place has a wait list that shuts down because it's filled up so early. You have extremely reasonable prices for fresh fish that is incredibly high quality and carefully plated. It's also not a very large space for how popular it is. Located in an unassuming area, I almost thought I got the directions wrong. We went fairly early so could avoid the long wait even though the wait list was closed. Every single thing I had was amazing from the uni, to the fatty tuna, sashimi, nigiri etc it all just melted in my mouth. They even had things like monk fish liver which you don't see as often. The baked green muscles were unlike any I have had at other spot, they also had other seafood in the sauce they topped it with and they were cut in half so it was easy to eat them. Perfectly cooked too. Shoshito peppers were even done in way that was addictive. If I'm ever back in town this place is a must to visit again. The service was fast and attentive, great options on the menu, and amazing quality with prices you don't see these days with how bad inflation has gotten. They really are worth the extra effort to get a spot to dine. read more

i've been here several times now and don't get me wrong, i love it. but i will say nothing has lived up to the first time i came here. the popcorn roll wasn't nearly as crispy and satisfying this time. the specialty rolls are pretty good tho and i do love their salmon sashimi. service is just okay, it's rly hard to get ahold of a staff member, although i do understand they're busy. there is also always a wait, during dinner expect to be on the waitlist for about an hour. interior is cute and tiny. read more

Sushi Blossom (four pieces of a no-rice roll for $8.50): 5/5. Has a variety of fish rolled over crabmeat and served with a sweet, savory, tangy sauce. I really liked this, wished it came with more! Good temp, textures, and flavor. Chicken Karaage (a medium-sized bowl for $8.99): 3/5. Decently crispy chunks of what I believe was white meat, which was a bit disappointing (dark meat has more flavor). I wasn't a fan of the two sauces it came with since both were just sweet and not tasty at all. Decor/atmosphere: 5/5. Super cute Japanese-themed decor inside the restaurant. It's prominent yet not tacky. Tables and seats were clean. Service: 4/5. I was greeted upon entry and directed to my friend who had already been seated. We waited a while after I sat down before someone came to our table for drink requests, and then some more time before ordering, but at least the food came out pretty quickly. It was a busy lunch rush around 1pm. Parking in the plaza lot is free. I'd come back to try some other apps and sushis. read more

Food: No rice rolls: The Ex Girlfriend, Sushi Blossom, Caliente Topping rolls: Albacore Delight, In N Out, Fire Island, Hot Night, Bikini Baked rolls: Baby Lobster Overall, the sushi is pretty decent. Since the rolls come in smaller plates of four pieces, it's nice being able to try multiple rolls instead of committing to a standard eight-piece roll like most sushi spots. I usually prefer fresher rolls, and the fish here was fresh enough without being drenched in sauce. Everything was simple with just the right amount of toppings. I did notice that a lot of the rolls include tempura. While I usually prefer fresh fish on the inside and outside, the ones with tempura were still done well. I'd still like to see more fresh roll options, but overall the sushi is solid. I also like that there's a dedicated no rice roll section. Caliente was my favorite from that category with a nice, slight spicy kick. My favorite roll overall was the Fire Island. I love red onion, and the peppery flavor combined with the seared fish was a great combo. Service: Very straightforward and efficient. The staff helped us whenever we flagged them down. Ambiance: Nice, dimly lit restaurant with a great vibe, especially at night. It was very popular and busy with a waitlist. There are tables, but no bar seating. read more

It's been a while since I had such good sushi for a good price. Depending on how much you eat I'd say you'd spend $30-40 for a full stomach here. I'm a bit of a hefty eater for a girl but was decently stuffed leaving the restaurant. Ambience and service is spot on with very kind a prompt service from the staff! Perfect spot for a date night with dim lights and food sushi. Only con would be is that it is a fairly small place so coming with a big group of friends of more than 5 people would definitely be a longer wait. Waitlist on yelp close early due to demand and manually entering at the restaurant would give you a long wait time regardless. I was a group of 3 girls and the wait was surprisingly 2 hrs. Came at 5:50pm to put our names down and didn't get called till 7:30pm to be seated on a Saturday. Luckily we ran errands around the area so time flew by easier. Biggest table they had was like 4 -5 booth that ideally fit a group of 4 comfortably fyi Sushi quality was top notch and if you're a salmon lover or tuna lover, we definitely had some favorite favorites here! Our favorites for the night was the crispy rice with spicy tuna, spicy crunch roll, and roly poly! Would gladly come back and try other items on their menu! Probs on a wkday this time tho if I'm in the area to avoid wait times. Oh and thanks Jeannie for her service! read more

EAT'S SUSHI -- the best place to go in Costa Mesa if you want a classy ambiance and plenty of riceless rolls! While my family and I generally order takeout, it's also really nice to dine in. However, because it's busy all the time, sometimes it takes a little while to receive the food (though perhaps smaller parties have to wait less time on average). Still, service is always friendly and efficient in every way they can. Quality is consistently stellar with the price and taste of the fish and flavor combinations! The most top-tier items to get: mountain hand roll, pink lady, zen roll, caliente, red eye, fire island roll, cucumber wrap, roly poly, hot night roll, albacore lover roll, and rainbow roll. However, there is such an abundance of options for everybody, though this place is one of the rare sushi spots that offers a ton of riceless rolls besides a random cucumber wrapped roll somewhere. read more

Eat's Sushi - Huge order for takeout - Sushi Bars Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Came in based off a social media post find stating sushi rolls were only $7.50. Upon entering the place seemed nicer and more of a sit down restaurant than I thought. We had to wait a few minutes to be seated and it looked like it can get crowded since I saw a Yelp waitlist. The hostess and waitresses were all nice and attentive. Service and food were quick. They have an extensive menu with lots of items. We were looking for the $7.50 rolls without having to ask and it took us awhile but it's some of their specialty rolls and the catch was that it was only a half roll that came in 4 so technically it's the same price if you were to get a whole roll which does usually cost between $15-17 lol good baiting but it was also kind of nice to get half a roll and pay half the price because you can order more/different rolls to try out. The items itself were all pretty good. I enjoyed all sauces that came on top of the rolls. I do want to point out that a lot of their rolls the rice wasn't sticking and kept breaking apart on almost all of the rolls even the California rolls which had no sauce. The fish tasted fresh and I loved their toppings with raw red onions and Serrano peppers. I noticed their wasabi wasn't pasty so I wonder if it was real wasabi and their ginger I loved how they cut it up in small pieces instead of those big long chunks. Our lunch consisted of: California rolls, tonkatsu ramen, yellowtail kama, takoyaki, bluefin tuna nigiri, yellowtail nigiri, Madai (Japanese snapper) nigiri, seared albacore nigiri, caliente roll, fire island roll, and albacore lover roll. Everything was delicious! read more

Fish was fresh and delicious, no wait for a table at lunchtime and they didn't rush us out. Service was flag down as needed after you order. We tried three rolls 4 pieces each roll and then decided three more were needed so waves them down for more. The space is nicer than you'd expect in a strip mall. The music was a little loud the acoustics in there are a bit spartan for sound absorption so if you are there to chat and are sitting by a speaker prepare to lean in. All the fish was amazing. Definitely enjoyed the rice free Sushi Blossom roll the most. read more

5 stars for all the rolls we always get here. Their nigiri is also good but it's not anything spectacular, but great for their prices! I love that the rolls are half sized so you can order multiple different rolls to try a variety, even in a small group because then you don't have to finish so many pieces in one roll and get full to try others. Fish has always been fresh for us and they're always sooo busy. The wait can get long and there are people waiting outside during prime time, however it goes by really fast. The sushi chefs are really working hard making all the rolls cause sometimes I'm shocked with how quickly our orders get brought to our table after ordering. Service is always nice and friendly and ambiance is dim but lively. It's located in a shared lot with multiple establishments, however it's not too bad to find parking. Definitely recommend for a quick good quality sushi meal! read more

Great Japanese food at a very reasonable price.

We sampled several rolls in a variety of styles, all featuring high-quality, exceptionally fresh fish. Our lunch included: Chef choice sashimi: 9pcs assorted Sashimi with fresh made wasabi Sushi Blossoms combo Bikini roll Beef teriyaki Vegetable tempura Jalapeño bomb Tempura udon Our sever/host Jeannie L was friendly, delightful, hospitable, and attentive.

We have been coming to Eat's Sushi since 2022 merely because of their high Yelp and Google ratings and haven't sought out any other place since discovering them. IYKYK! Have we tried other places? Of course - and always regretted doing so lol - now it's just Eat's Sushi every time! I attached 3 photos from this particular visit on Friday night, 5.22.26, and wrote a short blurb for each photo to explain why Eat's is hands down, the best place and usually the place of choice we go to at least 3x a month! They are always busy and that never bothers us because everyone else knows this is the place to go for fresh fish, amazing service, and friendly staff! We have figured out how to join their wait list without waiting their usual 30-60+ min wait. Even if we have to wait, we will. It's worth it every time! On this particular visit, Leo sat us down and Evelyn was our server. All of them are wonderful and these two elevated our visit yet once again! It is the main reason I wanted to post this because they deserve accolades. Leo already had our usual "hot water" order waiting for us at the table and Evelyn is always patient with us when we place several small orders because we like to keep the fish fresh. It's called "tsuika de onegaishimasu" if you care to know haha . The owner was also there that evening, and we witnessed him supporting his team quietly and gratefully by helping collect empty dishes off occupied tables to take them to the kitchen himself. His humble leadership explains why Eat's is on point with their customer service ! Price is extremely reasonable, quality is exceptional, and for us, we love the cozy ambiance! See you next week, Eat's Sushi! read more

Eat's Sushi will forever be a fav local sushi spot for me! I've dined in multiple times but ordered takeout via a delivery app this time. The order came packed neatly in a reusable bag, complete with chopsticks, soy sauce, wasabi, ginger, napkins, and soy sauce trays. Love that I could basically recreate the full dining experience at home since they gave me everything I needed for a good meal! I ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll, Tuna Cut Roll, Spicy Scallop Roll, Spicy Crunch Roll, and Shrimp Tempura. All the fish was so fresh (as usual) and reasonably priced. The Tuna Cut Roll had some really tender fatty cuts of fish which was a welcome surprise! Generous amount of fish in each roll. So glad I chose to order Eat's for lunch today! read more

I came here with a friend on 5/11 around 6pm. We only had to wait about 5 mins until we got seated. We ordered the cucumber salad, bluefin tuna sushi, scallops sushi, eel sushi, salmon carpaccio, scallop carpaccio, crispy rice with spicy tuna, spicy tuna handroll, and the scallop handroll. Everything was soo good just like how I remembered it. The sushi and sashimi prices did increase but that was expected since my last visit 3 years ago. My favorite was actually the scallops - it was juicy and there was no fishy smell. I wanted to eat more but I was already full. My friend was an absolute fan and told me she would come back. I'm glad to have brought a new customer here. We both left super full and happy! read more

Hands down my favorite sushi spot. The service is always great. I love getting a variety of rolls and some spicy garlic edamame. I always get the jalapeño popper. Some of their best rolls for me are the caliente, red eye, and sushi bloom. Get these if you're looking for high protein. The rolls are smaller than most sushi places but they are packed with flavor and freshness. That is the beauty of their menu. You get to try multiple rolls of different styles and the fish is high quality and fresh. The restaurant is really clean. Takeout is an option. Dining in, get here early you're guaranteed to be seated right away. read more

Really nice service, they don't take reservations so getting on online waitlist is highly recommended. Very fun ambiance inside albeit the music is very loud so don't plan on having deep conversations. The food was really really good.

Arrived Friday around 530pm and the wait wasn't too bad. We ordered a bunch of items and the standout was the salmon skin salad and teriyaki beef. The salmon skin was crisp and salad was loaded with lots of onions and a bright tangy dressing. I was surprised at how good the beef was. It was smoky tasting and the bed of onions added another level of sweetness. read more

This place probably has the best sushi I've had so far. The quality of the sushi was fresh and tasty. The sashimi was so delicious. That's probably my favorite item. They have different options for that different cuts. I think I got the most expensive one And I was not disappointed. It is a little pricey but it's worth it. If the price is too high, they do have another location where it is a bit cheaper, but this place is much better. We only have one sushi roll. We wanted to try it everything that was on the menu. The service was great very friendly very helpful. They have an awesome team there. They give you a sheet where you could put in your first order and then finally your second order. And they bring your sushi pretty quickly. I really enjoyed the set up the mirrors, the paintings on the walls. They were pretty cool. I kind of felt like I was in Japan eating sushi. It does sound corny, but I did feel like that. Definitely wanna come back again. read more

My friend raves about Eat's and she said it gets really busy. So on a Friday evening, before 6pm, we came for dinner. We were seated quickly and the place was getting filled up quickly. Service was friendly, except the male manager who was kinda cold and did not have a smile when greeting customers. The rest of the waiting staff were all very friendly and efficient. The menu is expansive and has tons of options. I really like how food comes in smaller portions here. For example, each roll has 4 pieces (vs 6-8 pieces) and nigiri is single piece. That means you can order a variety of food without feeling stuffed by one or two things. Yellowtail Collar- 3/5 slightly overcooked and bland Salmon Blue Crab roll - 3/5 not much of a flavor, though they didn't skimp on the crab Monkfish Liver - 4/5 really good but thinner slices would have been better IMO We also got Baja Cali Roll, Fire Island Roll, Tiger Roll,Hot Night Roll, Spicy Crunch Roll and Bake Scallop Roll. All the rolls were good. For nigiri we got blue fin tuna, salmon, yellowtail, smelt, sweet shrimp, toro, bay scallop and seared jumbo scallop. All the nigiris were really fresh, the rice can use a bit more vinegar. Our total was about $153 with all those food, and we got free drinks with Yelp check-in. It was an excellent deal in today's economy. A solid 4.5 star experience. read more
