Although we made reservations, there seemed to be plenty of walk ins as it wasn't peak dinner yet. This small yet cozy restaurant is so chic, so upscale and literally blew me away with the freshness of each plate we ordered. Crispy Calamari was not too salty which tends to be a miss for us at times but this was yum! The crispy rice/spicy toro was just the right amount of heat. The triple belly sashimi was so aesthetically pleasing and fresh with each bite. I loved the spicy mayo with the Laguna beach roll and the snowflake roll had a nice zest with the yuzu sauce on top. The golden eye snapper carpaccio was incredibly refreshing. We ended our meal with tempura ice cream and fresh fruit But when I come back, all I need is the carpaccio and the wagyu, like what an experience. Highly rec! Thank you to the staff who made our first time here so amazing! Can't wait to eat here again.

The hand rolls were bigger than I expected. I really enjoyed the salmon with avocado and the yellowtail. For me the spicy tuna was too mushy and the hot sauce drowned any taste of fish. My husband had the chicken katsu bento box which was fabulous value. The generous portion of chicken was crisp and tasty. The gioza were fried nicely. The two pieces of salmon sashimi were buttery. The rest was pretty standard bento box fare. There is a nice patio to enjoy lunch close to the beach. Definitely will add Yuzu to the rotation.

Food was yummy too. My girls had the teriyaki chicken and California roll, both yummy. The chicken teriyaki was surprisingly yummy. The Salmon Garlic Ponzu wasn't my favorite, but it's because I love a really good Salmon. However! The Bluefin Tuna w/ Crispy Onion was good. The crispy onion is thicker than you think, which makes excellent for the batter to catch. The specialty rolls: Red Dragon Roll w/Crispy Onion & Seared Yellowtail Roll was really good, again the crispy and onion was a nice crunch touch. Dessert, they have mochi ice cream, which is very familiar to the brand Mikawaya. 1, serving is 2 small size mochi ice cream, cut in half, so 4 half cut pieces. We enjoyed my husbands birthday, while at the same time hoping ours kids keep it together. And we got lucky this round! Great birthday dinner for my hubs. Thank you, O Fine Japanese Cuisine!

Lobster Tail Cut Roll- This was incredible! The lobster was buttery, tender, and perfectly cooked with a slight crisp on the outside. Every bite tasted fresh and well-balanced. Not overly sauced and had an almost smoky aftertaste. A5 Wagyu Nigiri- The beef was incredibly rich, buttery, and literally melted the second it hit my mouth. You could almost mistake it for salmon with how soft the bite was. Perfectly seared with just enough warmth to bring out the fat without overpowering it. This alone is worth coming back for. Bluefin Tuna Sushi- The bluefin tuna nigiri completely melted in my mouth. The fish was visibly high quality, rich, and perfectly sliced. The rice was seasoned just right and held together without overpowering the tuna. You can really taste the freshness. Definitely coming back!

What a wonderful little sushi spot! My family and I visited FIN Sushi and Sake today and it was…read moresuch an unbelievably delicious and unforgettable experience! I just want to say, for starters, how beautiful both the hotel and the view from the hotel is. We were seated inside next to the sushi bar area, and we had such a beautiful view of the ocean and the beachside. It's so beautiful. We went around 6:00, just as the sun was beginning to set, and it was honestly breathtaking. Chef Sam Park is the absolute BEST! He's hilarious and good at what he does. The food was so phenomenal, I cannot believe it! We got a lot of items, such as the sashimi platter, the sunset roll, and the geisha roll. The sunset roll has got to be my favorite of the rolls, it was so yummy! Slightly spicy and citrusy from the lemon garnish. The fish tasted so fresh and didn't have the fish smell that I typically am wary about when ordering sushi. Their Toro is SO GOOD! Oh my goodness, really melts in your mouth. Their cocktails are also delicious! What a real treat. Our server was Spencer, and he was just an absolute doll. He was super attentive and quick to give us drink refills! The food also came out in a timely manner, giving us time between our dishes to be able to enjoy without overcrowding our table. All in all, such an amazing time! I'm so glad that my family and I stopped in! I cannot wait to come back and try Chef Park's other creations. Definitely stop by if you want a good view and an even better bite!

Prices are reasonable. Unfortunately, the rice was dry, to the point that it was difficult for me to eat comfortably. I often visit poke cafés, and this was the first time I've encountered rice of such poor quality. While we were sitting there, many customers came in to order takeout, so the place does seem popular. However, based on my experience, I most likely won't be returning.
