Now I know why this place is always packed and there is a line in front. At Eat's Sushi, affordability doesn't mean cutting corners. They use only the best-quality fish and ingredients--from premium uni and bluefin tuna to fresh Hamachi--while keeping the prices surprisingly approachable. I loved everything here. Despite of the line, they accommodate fast, bring food quickly.
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!
Omg the food here is so good! For a girly that loves sushi, and also doesn't need huge portions of food, this restaurant is PERFECT! We did wait about an hour to get in - so I highly recommend making a reservation. It's a busy spot - and now we know why! Everything was SO yummy. We got spicy tuna crispy rice and spicy garlic edamame to share. Both were gone in minutes, and neither were too spicy. My friend got the California roll (she's obsessed now) and I got the Baja California roll, which was soooo good! I love yellowtail and ponzu so it was perfect. Four pieces for like $9. Such a good deal if you don't need a lot of food! Our entire bill was only like $35, and we left pretty full, which is crazy! I think getting the edamame to start helped a lot. Our server was very kind. We will definitely be back!
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.
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.
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!
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!
WOW! I'm always skeptical about trying a new sushi place. This place left an impression!! The sushi was sooo fresh and good. The edamame was delicious! *not pictured the gyoza...i had forgotten the ambiance and service was spectacular. I will definitely be coming back! Im glad they're opening a second location!! Hoping they will open a third down the road! read more
This place is an amazing sushi restaurant to eat at. It gives a variety of options for nigiri, sashimi, and rolls. Most of the rolls come in 4 pieces, which gives you the option to try a little bit if everything. The sushi itself melts in your mouth with every bite. I was really impressed with how fresh the fish and sushi tasted. My favorite was the New Style Salmon Sashimi. The truffle sauce tastes amazing. The service was quick with attention to care for the customer. Would come here again. read more

I ordered some takeouts from here a few days ago after seeing some raving reviews on here. It's a bit out of the way, but it is located in a plaza with plenty of parking so it was very easy to locate. I ordered one of almost all the nigiri pieces on the menu or at least the ones I like. I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh quality of the fish. I also liked that the wasabi and ginger were fresh and not from those takeout packets. I quickly glanced inside the dining area and it looked very cozy and clean. I'll definitely dine in next time I'm in the area. read more
My girlfriends and I came here on a Sunday afternoon. I checked in when I was close by and got on the waitlist. This was very helpful! The exterior of this restaurant is unassuming and very simple. The restaurant is located in the Stater Brothers shopping center amongst other various retail shops and eateries. When I arrived, I already saw people sitting outside waiting. I checked in with the hostess to let her know that I was there a little early and it looked like I was second place in line. I didn't wait long at all before I was seated and waited for my friends to arrive. The interior was inviting and the ambience was positive and upbeat. There were different tunes of upbeat pop and light rap music playing in the background and the conversations and chatter of people seated amongst booths and tables throughout. Everyone is seated rather closely, but the music drowns everything out. It is somewhat dim inside, but very comfortable and warm lighting, emanated throughout. The menu was easy to follow with some photos to help with the decision making process. We ordered a variety of starters, including spicy garlic edamame, Shishito, peppers, salmon skin salad, and miso soup. The hand rolls were delicious as well as the different sashimi and sushi roll options. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted fresh! I'm returning with other family and friends next time! For dessert, there is a Boba tea and smoothie shop a couple doors down! 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. I come here enough that they remember my vbeberage of choice. Food is always fresh and very tasty. The sashimi options are generous. A must try place read more
Came again on a weekend night for dinner. Wait time was about an hour and thirty so we killed time by getting dessert first. Service was prompt and food is delicious as always. We got sweet shrimp, salmon, and pepper bluefin tuna nigiri as well as a zen and salmon roll. The shrimp head wasn't as good as the first time, tasted like the shrimp wasn't cleaned before frying it. read more
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

They serve fat, beautiful, and flavorful pieces of sashimi, truly a standout. This place has become a family favorite, and we come here every time we're craving sushi. Highly recommend if you want quality cuts and consistently good food! read more

One of my favorite places to get sushi in the OC area. There has always been a decently sized line every time that I've been here. They have a Yelp waitlist available that you can join from the app if you're within a 5 mile radius. The time that we were seated was fairly close to the estimated time given in the app. There is a decent amount of parking available in the shopping center, but it can get very crowded on weekends. The restaurant itself is very cozy and the decorations add to the overall experience. They have a menu available with pictures and you fill out a sheet of paper when ordering, similarly to how you would at an AYCE restaurant. They were able to have all the food ready very soon after we submitted our order. The ramen came in a very creamy broth with thin noodles. It had good flavor and the pork was cooked well. The black spider roll was something that I was very happy that I ordered. There was very little rice compared to the rest of the ingredients. It was packed with softshell crab and covered with a generous amount of spicy tuna and eel. The crunch roll was cooked perfectly and the shrimp inside was very flavorful. The star dish of the night was the sashimi combo. We were at the restaurant closer to closing time, but the fish was still extremely fresh and delicious. The pieces of sashimi that they give are thicker than most other places and were of very good quality. read more

I found this place on TikTok, and now I understand the hype. The service was attentive and efficient. The spicy garlic edamame wasn't very spicy, but it was still flavorful and delicious. The Hawaiian Roll and Bikini Roll were both amazing--I would honestly come back just for those. The sashimi was yummy as well; I just wish the fish had been a little colder. I loved the fish to rice ratio as well. I also noticed they use good, authentic wasabi. Overall, I'd definitely bring my friends here. read more
We knew we were in for a treat when we walked in - this place was packed for a Tuesday night! It is a cozy, hidden gem in Costa Mesa. Everything we ate was delicious and was served very quickly. My favorite was the crispy rice w spicy tuna; hubby's favorite was the yellowtail sashimi. The pictures speak for themselves! Oishi! read more

Excellent sushi at excellent prices with excellent service! We came specifically for sushi, but they have so much more on their menu like baked salmon, teriyaki beef & chicken, bulgogi, ramen, udon and lots of salads. I absolutely love how the interior decor makes you feel like you're outside. And only a 2 minute wait on a Sunday evening. They do close between lunch and dinner during the week, except for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, when they're open all day. Whether you're picky, you're an enthusiast, or it's your first time, you will find many rolls that you will love! They have the traditional, sashimi, fried rolls, and ones that are baked. Most are 4 pieces, but they do have 5 piece ones as well, and we loved that cuz then you can get two different rolls instead of just one. We ended up getting a few, and my favorite was the Energy Roll, and the fried Golden California Roll. Can't wait to try more! read more
A popular Costa Mesa sushi staple (and for good reason), we visited Eat's on a weekday at around 6pm. We were seated promptly (I recommend eating there before 6, when the dinner rush begins) at a comfortable booth. The decor is cozy, clean, and cute - reminiscent of a sushi bar lifted from Tokyo. What we ordered: 1. We've heard rave reviews about their yellowtail collar, but unfortunately it was sold out by the time we ordered. Next time! 2. Nigiri - toro, uni, unagi, ikura and salmon. All were incredibly fresh and generously portioned for the price. Really, you can't beat the price to quality ratio - Eat's reigns supreme. 2. Salmon skin roll and handroll - crispy and flavorful. 3. Baked scallop roll - I don't normally order rolls, but I have to make an exception when at Eat's. Usually I feel like sushi rolls incorporate lower quality fish than the nigiri, sashimi, and handrolls - but this is clearly not the case at Eat's. Anyway, this is my absolute favorite roll at Eat's, and the scallops are refreshingly not overcooked and fresh, without that cheap fishy aroma. The roll itself is both savory and just a touch sweet - hitting all my favorite flavor profiles. 3. Bikini roll - my second favorite roll at Eat's. Salmon, tuna, and tempura shrimp are the dominant flavors here. All great quality fish and very reasonably priced. 4. Soft shell crab - just a classic dish, and Eat's executes this so perfectly. The perfect amount of batter to crab, and the dipping sauce is the perfect compliment. 5. Kaarage chicken - a solid choice for the less adventurous eaters. 6. Philly roll - reportedly the best my dining partner has ever had. Service was amazing - we were greeted and constantly checked on by the servers. They did an excellent job topping up our waters and bringing out dishes quickly. Eat's was a fantastic choice for a date night, and easy parking is always a plus. This and Takumi (their sister restaurant) will forever be our go-to sushi picks when in OC. read more
Probably the best sushi we've had in NorCal. The restaurant is tucked in an unassuming strip mall with plenty of parking and they use Yelp's online waitlist which is a big plus on my book. The space is nice, the servers are friendly, and the vibe is laid-back but polished. Now, the most important part: the food. First to hit the table was the salmon with blue crab. 6/5. We were all stunned by how good it was and immediately ordered another. * Salmon and yellowtail sushi: 6/5. We got another order for both as well. * Fatty tuna: 6/5 * Sweet shrimp: 4/5 (but honestly, I liked the fried shrimp head more than the shrimp itself) * Crispy rice with spicy tuna: 3/5 (we've had better in the Bay Area) * Dragon roll: 4/5 * Egg sushi: 5/5 * Bluefin tuna: 3/5 * Madai sushi: 3/5 * Spicy salmon: 4/5 This place just made it onto my must-eat list in LA. Highly recommend! read more

Very fresh and lots of sushi options at fair prices! The rolls are very good. I recommend the Hot Night Roll and the In & Out Salmon Roll. I also really enjoyed the salmon nigiri. It was a melt in your mouth bite and was so very delicious! The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is quite nice. The inside is decorated with Japanese decor, some plants, and lit up trees. It felt like a perfect dinner/date night spot. I visited on a weeknight and there was no wait but almost all the tables were full. read more

Eats Sushi IS AMAZING The food, the prices, the atmosphere, the staff, the cooks, even the bathrooms are great. I got their food to-go once before and it was very yummy. My partner is a big gyoza aficionado and he has tried many a gyozas and these are his favorite and we live far from here. I like how they offer half rolls for about $7-8 because I like to try lots of different flavors. We went here recently for a valentines dinner and spent about $55 for all the food pictured. Really affordable and great quality - we couldn't even finish everything and had to take it to go! They were very packed this day so I suggest going on the wait list. So freaking yum read more

My third time coming here and it never disappoints. The ambiance is so cute and perfect for a fun date night or dinner with friends. The food is always fresh, beautifully presented, and seriously amazing every time. The wait is usually about 1 to 1.5 hours but it is totally worth it. Being able to join the waitlist online makes it so much easier since you do not have to stand outside the whole time. I will definitely keep coming back!! read more

This is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in OC. The fish was so fresh and they were delicious. Must order the yellowtail collar and it's good with sake. I also like the tako wasabi. The servers were nice and we got our food pretty fast. Good place to hang out and drink with ur friends. Make sure to get in early because they are always busy. read more
Eats Sushi is one of those places you almost don't want to tell anyone about because it's that good and affordable... but they deserve all the praise in the world. The ambiance is super cute, the service is fast, and the food is absolutely delicious. You can taste the quality in every bite -- everything was so fresh and flavorful. On top of that, their prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality you're getting, which is rare to find these days. This spot seriously checks all the boxes: great vibe, great service, amazing food, and wallet-friendly. A hidden gem. Can't wait to come back! read more
OMG, Eat's Sushi just became my sushi soulmate! Walked in and got hit with the freshest sashimi vibes--New Style Albacore? Seared Jumbo Scallop? Chef's kiss! The Baby Lobster Crawfish Roll had me doing a happy dance, and don't sleep on that Jalapeño Bomb--spicy, crispy, life-changing. Salmon Skin Salad was the crunchy sidekick I didn't know I needed. Lisa was our server superhero--fun, fast, and made us feel like VIPs. Cozy booths, chill lighting, zero pretension, ALL flavor. Affordable and worth every penny. Costa Mesa, you're welcome. Already planning my next sushi coma! read more

Came here for lunch. The place is clean and beautifully decorated. The staff is friendly and efficient and they sat us right away. We ordered the seaweed salad and baked mussels to start. For the main event, we decided on the baked scallop roll, the baby lobster roll, dragon roll, and some individual pieces. Seaweed Salad- This is a lovely palate cleanser that is sweet and tangy. I love the crunchy texture and the plentiful portion we were given. Baked Mussels- The mussels are fresh and meaty. The mayo added a subtle creaminess and it was finished with eel sauce that added sweetness. Baked Scallop Roll- The crab, avocado, and cucumber base roll is nice and fresh. I like the bit of crunch the cucumber provides with every bite. The scallop topping is soft and creamy, with the eel sauce giving it a sweet and savory finish. Baby Lobster Roll- It has the same base as the scallop roll which was once more, wonderfully done. The crawfish topping is delicious and a generous amount. Finished with eel sauce. Such a great dish! Dragon Roll- You get a nice basic crab and avocado roll topped with freshwater eel and drizzled with eel sauce. Everything was fresh and you get a nice, satisfying, clean finish. Individual Sushi- We got the bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, egg sushi. The fishes were fresh and paired well with the rice. I adore the sweetness and spongy texture of the egg. Great place for sushi! read more

Ambiance ok; Service great; Food great; Price reasonable ~$100 for 2 people. We ordered 2 of the sushi rolls in pic 1 as my friend highly recommended it, also had edamame not in pics. read more
Came for dinner last night and had a nice time. It's a cute little restaurant that doesn't take reservations, but does use the Yelp waitlist feature which is appreciated. Service was nice, the staff is quick and attentive. For the food, we got the salmon sashimi, bikini roll, salmon sushi, toro sushi, and some tuna sushi. While the bikini roll was on the smaller side, it was pretty good. The toro was unfortunately our least favorite, and I wouldn't order again. The salmon and tuna were good. I'd say this place is a solid 3.5/5, but I'm rounding up because service was good and the prices were reasonable. read more

By far, my fave sushi spot! It's in an unassuming strip mall amidst lots of different shops. It's a cute, small and intimate. There is no wonder why the place is always packed. This is where sushi is done right! The options are endless. Whether you like cooked food, ramen, raw sushi...there's something delicious for everyone! This is now my 3rd time here (twice at Eat's and once at Takumi) and the quality is consistent. The fish is so fresh! The sauces perfectly compliment the seafood. The way the dish looks is as good as it tastes. The juxtaposition of textures between crunch tempura and freshly cut fish wrapped beautifully in sushi rice is absolute perfection. The service is good. The food comes out so quickly! We love coming here and will keep coming back for more! read more
