Eat's Sushi is a nice little spot on the corner. The inside is a little... interesting--they have a "light-up artificial tree," but hey, don't judge! The place seems dark but food was really good, especially the sushi. Just keep in mind that ordering à la carte can add up quickly. If you're hungry, the rolls and sushi can get expensive fast, so order wisely. There's no lunch special which is a bummer. However, if you check in with Yelp (think offer is still available), you'll get a free fountain soda. Service is great...fast and reliable.
My family loves sushi... well, actually my daughter and wife do. The other one is all about udon, and the small one is our resident karaage expert. Lol. Me? I pretty much love everything. I've been trying a lot of sushi restaurants lately, and for some reason Eat Sushi just didn't completely hit the spot for me. Don't get me wrong--the ingredients tasted fresh, from the seaweed to the fish, but some of the regular sushi felt like it was missing a little character or that extra something that makes you want another piece. Now, the sashimi and the no-rice sushi? Those are the ones to look out for. Really good flavor and definitely the standouts of our meal. Service was fast and efficient, although it came across a little snobbish at times. The place itself is okay, but it can get pretty crowded, especially during peak hours, and expect a line when it gets busy. Portions were decent, prices were fair, and there's a good variety for the whole family. I'd probably come back and focus more on the sashimi and some of their specialty items next time. Yelp me, Yelp you!
Came in here and it was bustling. Super cute spot to have a meal. For ordering, you mark what you want on a paper and they take it to the kitchen. Super fresh fish. I got nigiri and a classic roll. Super affordable. I got seconds and still the price was extremely reasonable! Would recommend!
Overall a 3.5/5z Service was good and food was decent but nothing to rave about. This place is pretty hyped up on Reddit for its quality and affordability. I don't see the hype to be honest. We skipped out on the nigiri but had several rolls (alaskan roll, sushi blossom, hamachi roll), appetizers (soft shell crab), and dinner combo (steak teriyaki). Nothing to complain about quality wise, but at the same time, nothing too special about their rolls either. I'd compare their roll quality to most all you can eats and if that's the case you might as well go to a quality AYCE to spend a similar amount. If we are talking about nigiri, the most expensive omakase set at a place like SugarFish is actually cheaper than here. One dish did standout and that was the soft shell crab appetizer. We got this twice! If i were to come back here, it would only be bc of the soft shell crab appetizer for $8.99.
Super long wait but servers were nice and attentive. Salmon was fresh and we enjoyed the vibe and the food a lot! The restaurant is a bit small tho so that explains the wait Any sushi with salmon is good but I think they're a little bit more on the higher price compares to other sushi spot I've been to
I've had Eats Sushi on DoorDash before and loved it, so I was excited to finally go in person. Dine-in didn't hit quite the same for me, though I'll give it the benefit of the doubt since we ended up at an 8:45PM reservation after missing our first one. Later in the night may not be the best time to judge the food. First things first: make a reservation through Yelp. If you show up on a weekend without one you're looking at at least an hour wait. The place is packed for a reason. The service was genuinely impressive. I have never had sushi come out that fast in my life. Edamame was on the table within 4 minutes of ordering and 3 rolls followed just 2 minutes after that. They clearly have the staffing to keep things moving even on their busiest nights. The surprise star of the meal for me was the beef teriyaki. I wasn't expecting much from it but the flavor was really great. The baked scallop roll was a little disappointing though, the scallops just didn't taste as good as I was hoping. And a small but appreciated detail: the chopsticks are actually good quality. No wrestling apart a wooden pair and ending up with splinters everywhere. We were seated near a tree in the back which gave us a nice bit of privacy, which made it feel great for a date night. It's also a popular spot for OCC students so the vibe is casual and lively. I'd come back and try it earlier in the evening to give it one more shot.
If you're in Costa Mesa. I would call this place a MUST try. This we came in for lunch and I could not believe how good this sushi was for the price tag. If I lived closer to Costa Mesa, I would be there probably weekly. The service here is so good. They're so fast. So kind. Not a water I had that didn't get refilled before it was empty. I love these local spots like this. They're hidden gems. The outside is just in a shopping center but the inside of the spot is so put together and gives off such good vibes. Cheers!
I really enjoyed every aspect of our meal! Be ready for a bit of a wait but it's worth it and they actually turn covers fairly quickly. Our food started coming out very quickly! The sushi is so fresh and the price is reasonable. I love the 4 piece option for $8.00 instead of 6 for $18.00 like most places. We could order more variety in rolls this way with 2 people. The New Style Sashimi options are incredible. The ExGirlfriend was a great No Rice roll. The menu is structured very well to give you no rice or fried roll options. The Spicy tuna is the best I've had! The hand roll was really nice with the toasted sesame! The toasted flavor really enhanced the roll. Service was INCREDIBLE! Attentive and friendly! The ambiance is lively and fun! Highly recommend this spot!!!!
I went here over the weekend with my boyfriend, and the food was so good and very affordable for how much was ordered. The gyoza was super crunchy. I honestly forgot which rolls we ordered, but everything was fresh with no complaints. Our waitress/server was great. She checked in multiple times throughout the dinner. The restaurant itself was nice as well. Very clean and good environment to be in and have a date night.
Takeout Order Review - I was PMS craving sushi and decided to order from Eat's! Ordering online is super easy and convenient. When I picked up my food, I was greeted and welcomed in. They were so nice and communicative about the order status. I had a few minutes until my order was ready, so I took a looksie around. The inside and outside are both clean and decorated beautifully. They have cute cherry blossom trees and a nice welcoming vibe inside. Everyone working was so nice and helpful! The sushi itself was so yummy! I ordered 3 rolls that came out to about $24. It was a great price and the sushi itself was tasty. The to-go bags, utensils, and supplies were good quality and durable. EATS has it all, great food, great atmosphere, great service. I'll definitely be back!
Been here several times with my wife most recently. If you swing by during off peak hours (after 1pm weekdays) there's basically no wait. Each time we've visited there seems to be new staff whom are always very attentive and supportive! The food comes out incredibly fast and the relaxing/calm vibes easily help retain new customers. The no rice sushi rolls are great, along with takoyaki loaded with squid, and the yellowtail sashimi is a must try. Hard to go wrong with any of the dishes!
We Love this sushi spot! great food. The atmosphere is also great. Service is great. Will def come back.
This is a cute sushi spot. The wait wasn't too bad, once we were sat we had a best service. We ordered California, spicy California and baked salmon rolls and they were all really tasty. There are plenty of options to choose from and the portions are good. I will definitely go back.

Had my first ever sushi tonight and I'm glad I experienced that at EAT'S!! Definitely recommend. Great fresh sushi considering the affordable pricing. Cute and small and good ambiance. Staff is attentive. Make sure you get there as early as possible before the wait gets too long! read more
My sister and I came in on a Tuesday night and had to wait just 15 min! So many of our friends recommend this place - and we have to say.. the hype is real The salmon/crab appetizer was definitely our favorite with its delicious truffle sauce. We're a big fan of non-rice rolls so we loved the mountain hand roll and cucumber wrap. Zen roll & baked scallop roll wete also super delicious. I also have to say that service was 10/10!! Our food was served so fast, our waiters were quick to refill waters and check up on us. The interior is decorated so cute with lanterns and the music/vibes were great. Will def be our go-to sushi spot from now on! read more
We first tried this place for dinner and left with a very good impression, so we came back on the weekend to try their lunch. Even though the restaurant was quite busy, we were seated right away. The food was excellent--exactly what I was hoping for. The sashimi was fresh and flavorful, and the sushi had a perfect balance of rice and fish. The highlight for me was the Seared Jumbo Scallop Sushi, which stood out with its rich, smoky flavor. The only downside was the edamame. We didn't get it until we were nearly done with our meal, and only after asking the waiter--who said they were still making it. It's a bit puzzling why something so simple took so long. That said, the overall experience was still very good, and we enjoyed a satisfying lunch. read more

Came for a casual dinner for 2 and let me say - expect a wait. The inside is also bit small but that can only mean you'll be well taken care of. I expect a bit more difficulty getting in if you're a larger group. Overall the sushi was great! The fish was high quality and everything was reasonably priced. We ended up ordering way more than the average 2 person dinner but were able to finish it all, and happily at that. I'd recommend this spot for anyone looking to fulfill that sushi craving without having to sacrifice an arm or leg! read more
Everything ordered: Beef Teriyaki $11.99, Soft shell crab $8.99, Gyoza $4.99, Egg sushi $2.50, Spicy garlic edamame $6.99, Salmon egg $3.50, Fatty tuna $5.50, Tiger roll $7.50, Hot night roll $7.50, Salmon crunch roll $7.50, Spicy baked salmon roll $7.50, Baby lobster (crawfish) roll $7.50, Blue crab roll $9.50. My favorites were the Baby Lobster (Crawfish) Roll, Spicy Baked Salmon Roll, Soft Shell Crab, and Spicy Garlic Edamame. read more
Food service and ambiance are always a 10/10. Love eating here at any time of day. Their sushi is consistently delicious and fresh and that's all you can really ask for. I love their no rice rolls and this last time we tried their salad with sashimi and liked it a lot! There was a lot of liquid at the bottom which was not pleasant but nothing was slowing us down. We always get a Philadelphia roll because we can't resist. But also recommend the caliente, mountain hand roll, and the fire island. Love their miso soup too. And their spicy garlic edamame is the BEST!! It adds up quickly but treat yourself! Raw fish isn't something you want to pinch your dollar on anyways read more

Ever since coming here, I think about it often. One of the best sushi experiences I've had in awhile that's not omakase. I came on a Sunday night and it was fairly busy. The space is pretty small so there's a wait. Luckily, we didn't wait too long for a table. Our waitress was also nice. She checked on us to see if we needed more food and such. The sushi here is high quality and the price is unbeatable, in my opinion. I love how they do half rolls so you can try many options. Four pieces for around $7 is really good to me. Their variety is also unmatched. They even offer no rice rolls that are also really good. Plus, their variety of fish... chefs kiss! read more

Nice little restaurant at the corner of a plaza. Service always attentive and friendly. Always love going here when I want some sushi. Not really much to eat. Quality is always solid and consistent. Good fish to rice ratio. Really recommend nigiri, mussels and I LOVE the mountain roll. I will say, my favorite fish are yellowtail and salmon, in which this place does really well. The other fishes and roll are solid and taste as they should. read more
Tasty, cheap, and casual sushi eats in a strip mall. Went on a Wednesday evening. There was a bit of a wait, so make sure to get on the Yelp waitlist before you get there. Was sat and ordered a few sashimi, sushi, and roll dishes. Everything was good quality for the price. Would def come back if I'm feeling for some easy sushi eats. read more
I was in the mood for sushi and was in the area so ended up here. The sushi was overall pretty good, I really liked their popcorn roll and black spider roll. The sauce that they marinated with elevated its taste imo. I would say this place is comparable to other sushi restaurants in the area for the prices that they charge and the food quality that they offer. We also went on a Saturday during lunch time and didn't have to wait at all which was really nice. Service was pretty decent as well so no complaints. The ambiance was fitting for a sushi restaurant but not mind blowing. Verdict: I may or may not come back, but definitely enjoyed the sushi we ate. read more

Note: it is a la carte and not AYCE but they have quite a few appetizers and dishes for non-raw and raw fish lovers alike. I like how they don't try to sneak any extra charges and it's pretty clear on the menu and requesting for items how much they would be. Tip: join their waitlist in Yelp What I tried Appetizers -cucumber salad: refreshing and honestly, good portion with a creamy side sauce -takoyaki: this small dish never ceases to amaze me at Japanese restaurants. They always cook it perfectly with dried bonito flakes adding an extra fishy taste and texture -baked green mussel: plenty of mayo and eel sauce drowning on top of the mussel. The mussel is actually very soft. -salmon collar: heavenly and melts in your mouth. Salmon is well seasoned and charred. Ponzu sauce was also incredible with a hint of spice. Rolls -energy roll: explicit like its name, this was on the heavier side, a lot happening both inside and outside of the sushi piece. You can def see the layers in the sushi and feel it in your mouth when you take a bite -black spider roll: def a fav roll. I'm a total fan of water eel which paired well with the spicy mayo. I really enjoyed this. -freshwater eel roll: smaller pieces than expected but very cutely organized and cut I didn't use too much of the soy sauce and ginger when eating the rolls because I felt the rolls were already jam-packed with flavor Sushi -madai: beautiful presentation and wonderful, citrus bite -sea urchin: truly delicate,y me,the in your mouth. First time and I didn't end up dipping this in the soy sauce, so it tasted like the aquarium. -fatty tuna: there was a lot of the connective tissue which made a bit too chewy in my opinion read more
EAT'S has been on my radar for a while, so I'm glad I could finally try it. Located in a shopping center, there was ample free parking. I was a little nervous when they closed down their remote Yelp Waitlist for the evening (they don't take reservations), but a quick call confirmed their not-so-long wait time. When you walk inside, there is a tablet for the Waitlist. I went on a Friday evening on a holiday weekend, and the wait was around 30 minutes. The inside is well decorated. The menu has pictures, and you order from a paper you notate. Throughout the experience, the customer service was excellent. Our server was very attentive, and food came out very fast. The Yellow Tail Sashimi was a highlight for my sister and I. The sauce was delicious and the fish was fresh. They had a large variety of options for rolls. We tried 3-4. They were unique and tasty. I would say they were not as tightly/cleanly rolled as other places. We ordered SO many things, and the price came out to be very reasonable. read more
We had dinner here last week. There is plenty of parking available. The restaurant itself feels warm and inviting. We ordered chicken karaage, beef bulgolgi and a black spider roll for appetizers. The karaage was easily the best ever. Crispy outside with moist chicken on the inside. The portion was a really good size. The bulgolgi was also a good size portion. The beef was soft and flavorful. We really should have gotten a bowl of rice to go along with both dishes. The black spider roll was delicious and was filled with soft shell crab, spicy albacore and eel. I also got a bottle of Sapporo and liked that it came with a chilled glass. I know most places do that but there are still places that do not. We ordered a chicken teriyaki bento box. The chicken was tender and so flavorful with a delicious teriyaki glaze. The rice and salad pair perfectly. We also ordered a tonkotsu ramen. They only make a limited amount each night. The ramen noodles were nice and bouncy. The dashi was rich and creamy. Quite possibly my favorite ramen broth ever. We also got a sashimi plate. While everything was amazing, this was the star of the meal. Large, thick cut slices of sashimi that melted in the mouth and served with real wasabi. Wonderful food and service will make this a place to come back for comforting, delicious Japanese food! read more

I don't remember the last time I've had such attentive, kind, and accommodating service during my dining experience! How refreshing! And an experience it WAS. The wait staff are ON it! Bravo! The fish here melts in your mouth, it's so fresh. If you are a sushi lover, you would be doing yourself a disservice not to try this spot. Absolutely delicious! Tucked away in a shopping plaza, you'd never suspect it to be as outstanding of a sushi restaurant as it is, but dare I say, the food is hands down WAY better than Nobu, Sugarfish, etc etc. I will certainly be back! Service 11/10 no notes! Spectacular hiring done here. Food 10/10 (I had the fire island roll w/o onions, miso soup, salmon sushi, madai sushi, and yellowtail sushi) *ask for their fresh wasabi and let it take you to another dimension at first bite! Ambiance 10/10 (great casual date night spot, although I came solo with a sushi craving) Parking 9/10 I can see it getting busy or tough to find a spot during dinner time and on weekends.. just get there earlier to find a spot! I hope they continue to do everything they're doing here - impressive. I am floored and will definitely spread the word! read more

Great spot for a casual sushi meal. The fish and quality were fresh and delicious. I liked that the sushi rolls were decent priced and only 4 pieces. This means you can try more things without over ordering. The carpaccio style dishes were also flavorful. My favorite was the salmon with blue crab. read more

First off this place is so cool! The interior transports me to Japan as soon as I walk in the door! The staff is amazing! They are there should you have any questions and check back with you. So polite! The menu is perfect for me. Not too big to be overwhelmed yet large enough you know you will find something you like. You can even bring your non sushi friends as they offer ramen, tempura and bento boxes! The food so good and also affordable which is sometimes hard to find at sushi restaurants. Every dish we had was beautifully presented, fresh and delicious. Quick lunch, family meal or date night, they have you covered! read more
I had this place bookmarked for a while and was really excited to finally try it for sushi Friday night. I'd been eating healthy all week and was ready for a cheat meal. Checked the Yelp waitlist...an hour wait! I figured it had to be good if there's a wait, right? Wrong. We ordered and were so ready for the food... but with every plate that came out, we got more and more disappointed. The sushi didn't taste fresh, the seaweed on my hand rolls were soggy, the flavors were just okay, and nothing really stood out. By the time the last roll came, I wasn't even hungry anymore...and not in a good way. Honestly, I was expecting way more for the wait and hype. Big letdown. 2 stars for great service, easy parking, and that I got some grocery shopping done since Stater Bros was in the same parking lot. But for real, are they paying for these 5 star reviews? :( read more

ORDER i've tried around 10 different items and LOVEDD every single one. i honestly cant rave about this restaurant enough. everything is top tier, from the rolls to the sauces down to the pickled ginger. the quality is amazing!! nothing is ever fishy. they prioritize customer satisfaction so everything is always perfect. there's usually a wait, but it always goes by fast. id recommend joining the yelp waitlist or check out takumi sushi down the street (basically the same restaurant, same menu and all) ;)) SERVICE 10/10 service AMBIANCE fairly small, but spacious. benches outside to wait + they have heaters which is honestly so considerate. tons of parking. read more

This is my favorite sushi place. The quality of the fish is incredible and makes other places seem inadequate. My favorite rolls so far: Alaskan, Baja California, Hawaiian, and crunch.. but honestly, every roll I try gets added to my favorites The employees are extremely kind and the environment is welcoming. They go above and beyond to make sure we get everything we ordered and are enjoying our experience. The restaurant is a decent size, but expect to wait depending on what time you come. You can join the waitlist ahead of arrival. I hope you love this restaurant as much as me! I love supporting small businesses that are passionate about what they do. read more

My husband took me here for a lunch date over the weekend. This was our second time dining here. I didn't really remember all the dishes we got but the most memorable ones include the soft shell crab, yellow and salmon handrolls, baked scallop roll, uni & toro nigiri, and the crab roll wrapped with salmon. They were all really good! My favorite was the toro nigiri! It was so buttery and soft and just melts in your mouth. The service is alo good and fast. They are always busy on the weekends but we never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a table each time we go. I also love the variety of items in their menu. read more

This is my go to place for a casual delicious dining experience. Sometimes there is a wait to be seated but the wait is well worth it. Service here is always friendly, efficient, and professional.

The restaurant was so nice inside and the service was really friendly. We've already tried their sister store, Takumi Sushi, so we knew this place was going to be just as amazing. My favorites were the crispy rice with spicy tuna and the spicy garlic edamame so yummy and definitely a must try! read more
