    Just a casual Wednesday night and wanted some sushi. Stumble across this restaurant. CAN I SAY UNASSUMING! Eat's Sushi to be honest, sounds like a casual to-go spot. The moment you walk inside it is vibes and ambient. Lighting is great, design is on theme and just good energy. I really enjoy a sushi spot where you have the option to have half rolls or smaller rolls. The reason being you get to try more variety. We ordered -Pink lady. -Albacore delight -popcorn roll - Salmon Blue Crab - Crispy rice with Spicy tuna. All great bites. The best role of the night was the salmon blue crab. Tangy Ponzu, rich truffle oil, creamy crab, avocado, and combined with the thin slice of tuna. Yummmmm. Easily one of my favorite bites of sushi.

    Really satisfied with the quality of fish and service here. I believe this restaurant has been opened for about 3 years. You can join a waitlist. We tried this spot on Wednesday around 5 and got seated quickly. By 6:30 the entire spot was packed. There's both sushi bar and booth seating indoors. Love their serving size of 4 pieces per roll. For sushi pieces you can order 1 piece instead of 2. The bluefin and uni were my favorite. The Karage was just okay. I definitely recommend all the fishes. There's options of no rice rolls to choose from as well. The server was great at providing recommendation for first timers. All food came out fast, including the cooked rolls.

    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!

    Really good sushi! Came here during lunch time on a weekend and was seated immediately. I love how they have physical menus with pictures to look at. We write the items we want on the piece of paper that they provide. We ordered various items such as seaweed salad, takoyaki, sashimi, rolls, etc. They gave us real wasabi for our sashimi which was nice. The sashimi was a thick cut and super delicious. Interior is nice, love the decors. Staffs are friendly. Prices here are a bit pricey in my opinion but quality is good.

    If you're looking for sushi that hits both quality and affordability, Eats Sushi is a must-try. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and packed with flavor--you can really tell they use high-quality fish. What I loved most is how extensive their menu is. We ordered a variety of items and there were still so many more options I wanted to try. From rolls to nigiri and hot dishes, they truly have something for everyone. Some of our favorites included the crispy tuna, ex-girlfriend roll, spider roll, caterpillar roll, baked scallop roll, and nigiri. The chicken karaage and udon were also so good and perfectly cooked. The balance between affordability and quality here is honestly hard to find. Portions are generous, presentation is on point, and everything tasted fresh to order. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to and recommending to friends.

    I've been wanting to try this spot and it did not disappoint. The sushi quality is excellent, the service is great, and the prices are reasonable. One thing I really appreciated was how quickly the food came out. The rolls are also served in smaller portions (4 pieces), so we can try more from the menu without getting too full. The standout for me was the salmon collar, which I always order at sushi restaurants. The pieces were huge and perfectly cooked. Overall, a great experience and I'd definitely come back. Highly recommend if you're in the Costa Mesa area. MENU: Tako Yaki Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Tempura Udon Bluefin Sashimi Salmon Blue Crab Salmon Collar Roly Poly Red Eye Cucumber Wrap Albacore Delight

    This sushi spot is one of my favorites for rolls and few other Japanese dishes. The wait can be really long, as in, waitlist can be 0 wait one minute and the next minute you check, it has 30 people already on the waitlist! Also, you need to be within 5 mi-radius to get on the waitlist. However, once you made past all that challenges, and are seated, the goodness will come. I like the service here, fast, efficient, and no nonsense. I like how their rolls are shorter/smaller, and cheaper, so you won't get too full if you order too many rolls, though we always ended up ordering too much anyway. I also like their tempura, udon, salmon and yellow tail kama (cheek), and takoyaki. I love all their no-rice rolls, hand rolls, and anything with salmon. They are super popular for the good flavor, good rolls, and extensive menu. Their take-out/to-go bags are pretty trendy too. Highly recs!

    We went as a large group and they were able to easily accommodate us. The sushi was delicious, and it was easy to tell that the fish was higher quality. Absolutely loved our time there!

    Salmon, yellowtail, Madai sushi (3 individual pc) sooo good!

    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!

    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. The rolls and appetizers were just ok but nigiri (every fish we tried!) was definitely the highlight- super fresh, flavorful, not over the top. I'd def go back.

    How have I not heard of this place before!? I usually steer clear of non-AYCE sushi places, but this will most definitely be added to my top restaurants. As with most non-AYCE sushi, it was a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. My absolute favorite dish we ordered was the monkfish liver, which exploded with flavor! I loved it so much that I ordered another. The ex-girlfriend roll is another favorite, and we got two of those as well. The fish was so fresh and the service was great! Literally no notes, just come!

    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.

Today we went there not knowing of the change. The food is now certainly "all you can eat" quality. We opted against the all you can eat limited menu, and ordered of the regular menu but the quality was terrible: 1. The toro nigri was chewy, very thinly cut, with a very small piece of rice. 2. We could not tell the difference between regular salmon and the salmon belly nigri they brought us. It looked and tasted exactly the same. Definitely not fatty salmon belly. 3. The yellow tail belly was chewy. 4. All the fish in their nigri sushi were thinly cut with very little rice. Definitely all you can eat amount of fish. 5. The rolls were small and for some reason all tasted the same with little flavor. If you like all you can eat sushi places which always offer low quality fish, you might like this place. We will miss sushi Imari and the great quality sushi they served.

I also had to use the restroom really bad. I walked in and spoke with a lady at the front counter and I told her I needed a table for 1 but before I was to be seated I needed to use the restroom. She looked at me with a skeptical look and asked me "Are you just trying to use the restroom? Are you really gonna eat here or just use the restroom and leave?" in a very condescending tone. The way she looked at me and spoke to me made me feel like someone off the street, a bum, trying to use the restroom. I'm Latino and a blue collar worker who wears work boots and work pants, so I feel like my appearance made her feel comfortable to question me and speak to me the way she did. If I was a white dude in regular clothes I highly doubt she would've talked to me like that. I insisted I was there to dine in but that I really needed to use the restroom first. After I convinced her, she pointed to the right corner of the restaurant and told me to go ahead. I was halfway to the restroom when I said you know what, **** this.

I will never give this business another cent. Treat your customers with respect.

You won't find your typical rainbow rolls at this restaurant (I do love a good rainbow roll though). The rolls we ordered were the Snowflake (which was flavored with yuzu), the Lobster roll (which was so much more than a typical baked lobster/langostino roll), and the Are You Kidding Me roll, which was big on truffle flavor and came topped with fried onions. I thoroughly enjoyed the Snowflake roll. It had multiple types of fish inside, and the yuzu flavor added the perfect fresh citrusy touch. It also came dotted with a tiny bit of sriracha (or some other spice) but it was just a hint and it's easy to wipe off if you don't want any spice. The Lobster roll was the star of the show. I give it a 10/10 for presentation, and it was also the best tasting one in my opinion. It was plated with a shelled lobster tail, which looks visually pleasing, but the most impressive part was right before serving, the waitress lit it on fire and handed it to us, as if it were flaming creme brulee or something. The flame actually wasn't on the roll itself, but was on what appeared to be a trail of salt (presumably soaked in some kind of alcohol to make it burn). It definitely was a cool effect and I've never seen anything like it in a sushi restaurant! Lastly, the Are You Kidding Me roll - this was my third favorite out of the three we ordered. It was pretty good but I think the truffle flavor was a bit strong. I'm also personally not a huge fan of fried onions on top of sushi since I think it clashes a bit with the freshness of the fish, and gives me too many bar food vibes. But it certainly was flavorful and my husband and I still finished it. We shared these three sushi rolls between the two of us and it was just the right amount of food to leave feeling full. Besides the food, the restaurant itself was nice although I'm not sure they really needed to have a live DJ there as opposed to having a Spotify Playlist. Didn't bother me but I don't think it really added much to the vibe. I would definitely eat here again!

    Celebrated our anniversary !…read more Service was good and friendly. The flavors were beautiful! We sat like in the center of the restaurant. It's one of my fear LOL. But the flavors of the dishes eased my fear. It was delicious. I love salmon and uni when it comes to sushi and I would recommend others to try this place! Several people already saw my instagram post and asked the name of the restaurant! I'm very happy that the food turned out phenomenal! Toyko nacho (recommend) : it was messy to eat and had a kick of spice. I didn't mind the mess though. Lots of different flavors. Uni hotate yuzu: scallops topped with uni. Eating it was like butter. Sour flavor profile from the yuzu. A bit overpowering. And the maldon sea salt was interesting. So you get the texture of buttery soft from the scallop and uni and a crunch factor from the salt. 5pc Salmon nigiri: so fatty and buttery! If you love salmon then definitely get this. The presentation was so cute. It lays on a bed of ice. And throughout the dinner the pieces of salmon were chilled. Monster nigiri (recommend) : I don't think anything about this when my honey suggested order this. But once it got to the table and we ate it. Wow! This dish flavors stood out to me. The crispy sweet onions and sauce perfected the meal. Dragon: It was pretty tasty and decent. I know my honey liked it a lot. He prefers not to eat raw fish, so this was to his liking (I recommend to those who don't eat raw fish). Truffle essence (recommend) : The taste of truffle is weirdly addicting. The presentation was eye catching because the candle is keeping the truffle butter warm. The concept of dipping or pouring the truffle butter onto the roll was a fun way of eating. Snowflake roll: A lot of reviews mentioned this was a popular dish. I can see why it was popular. It's literally a bunch of fish in a roll! Haha, fish lover this would be perfect to order. Crunchy roll: It was a decent roll, but a bit dryer than I expected. Orders and ratings: Tokyo nacho 9/10. Uni hotate yuzu 10/10. 5pc Salmon nigiri 10/10. Monster 11/10. Dragon 8/10. Truffle essence 9/10. Snowflake roll 10/10. Crunchy roll 6/10. Thank you!

Maybe if it was on the flatter side, it would have been more enjoyable. We got soft shell roll and also a variety of nigiri. The fish for the nigiri was fresh and the rice to fish ratio wasn't bad. The roll was alright. Nothing to rave about. Overall experience here was pleasant and I would come back again if I'm in the area.

    TLDR: Waited an hour for no sushi order + rude waitress…read more Really disappointing experience as we were excited to try the sushi based on a recommendation. $40 AYCE PP. The evening already started off on a bad note as there doesn't seem to be an organized waitlist system -- they seat parties based on whoever arrives first but we were seated after a party that came later despite having the same number of people... After waiting around 15 minutes, we were seated and started ordering what we wanted. Our waitress was busy handling other tables so we had to ask another waiter on 2 separate occasions for water cups, plates, utensils, etc. He seemed confused why our table wasn't prepared adequately. Our first appetizers finally arrived after 30 minutes which included the edamame, some tempura/dumplings, and takoyaki. The portions were tiny but good. Fast forward another 15 mins and the baked salmon roll had arrived which tasted subpar as the rice was incredibly mushy. After waiting another 15 minutes, we asked our waitress if we could just pay for what we had eaten and leave as no one had checked up on us and our order. It had been an HOUR since we were seated and no sushi rolls except one had been served. The sushi chef let us know to wait ten more minutes while he got started on our order, basically letting us know he forgot to make our food. We let our waitress know that we refused to wait any longer and to charge us for what was already served to which she replied with a snotty tone that other places will have longer wait times and rolled her eyes. The sushi chef was kind enough to comp our meal after this disaster, but the waitress left a bad taste in our mouth. Won't be coming back here.

Already craving this as I write this post. The flavors really pack a punch & miso soup with edamame is an excellent touch! Servers were nice and the club lighting takes you away from the hot sun or away from a drab ordinary night. Highly recommend!

    Oji Sushi is located in the Triangle Square shopping mall in Costa Mesa. It is located right next…read moreto the east-side entrance of the parking garage off Newport Boulevard. The parking garage has many underground levels and is often very busy. I was lucky to grab one of the last few spaces on the second level down on an early Tuesday evening. The interior is trendy with lots of neon signs, cool wall décor, stylish seating, and an attractive bar. In addition to booth and half-booth/half-table seating, they also have two enclosed glass wall rooms for more intimate dining. We went for the all-you-can-eat dinner, which is $38.99 per person for the regular menu or $45.99 per person for the premium menu. We wanted to have the premium menu, but one person in our group of four was running late. We asked if we could have the premium menu and just get regular menu items until they arrived. We didn't think it would be a big deal, but our server said everybody had to be there at the beginning to order premium. We ordered a rainbow roll to hold us over until our friend finally arrived. We had various nigiri including salmon, tuna, albacore, yellowtail, sweet shrimp, scallop, eel, uni, masago, salmon egg, as well as soft shell crab, broiled and fried mussels, octopus, and shishito peppers. There were probably some other items I forgot. Everything was generally good, although a few pieces of tuna were a little on the dry side. Slow service the main issue. The restaurant wasn't very busy, and it seemed like there was only one server who I'm sure was trying her best. It often took quite a while for food to arrive, and several of our orders were mistakenly delivered to the table next to us. We thought we were done, and at the very end another large plate came out including some of the premium items we never got earlier. The meal was ok, but we probably wouldn't return.

Beyond the freshness, I loved the creative touches--they clearly put a lot of thought into the garnishes and sauces. The service was attentive, and the restaurant has a great energy. For $100, this felt like a steal compared to other high-end omakase spots in OC. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented.

Some of the fish is genuinely high-quality and worth the tag, but the cost across the board is what keeps it from being a perfect 5/5 for me. Pro Tip: They do validate parking, which is a huge plus! Beef Tantan Nabe -- 5/5 This was my favorite thing here! It's creamy, delicious, and I've never actually had this dish at any other Japanese restaurant. A must-order. Miyabi Tai Carpaccio -- 5/5 So yummy. It has a great combination of flavors and the fish was buttery, it literally melted in my mouth. Toro Roll -- 5/5 Super tasty. They put real gold on it, which felt so extra, but it was actually a great-tasting roll. Blue Crab Hot Pot -- 4/5 This was really good, and I especially loved the char on the rice. Maguro Kajime -- 3.5/5 This was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it felt a little expensive for what it was--taste-wise, it was just whatever. Final Thoughts: Overall, all of the dishes were solid, but you're definitely paying for the experience.
