I go here once a week and order the Alaska sushi roll which is always fresh and delicious! I also get miso soup and edamame which makes for the perfect meal so I can have enough energy for the day :) I always keep coming back for more, my favorite food place. read more

Great service and great food! The sushi is tasty and savory and I loved the soft tofu ramen and the baked lobster sushi

The Bonita Roll is amazing and I got to chat with the sweet lady working upfront a bit-- she made all the desserts in house, let me say that they all looked so good, i walked out with an extra ube cake and tiramisu crepe cake to try when i get home I also got to try the creme brulee macaron: the caramelized sugar on top was perfectly torched and still crunchy despite being in a cold case! I will definitely be back if I am in the area again! read more

Super good, but I will be giving a 4/5 due to the portions. I feel like they need to include a little more for the prices they are selling at. It just isn't filling enough. There isn't much seating area inside, it is more of a grab and go place. The staff and service was alright, nothing spectacular. read more

Ordered through the phone and the food was made fast. There was one lady working and she was very nice and sweet. I saw a huge display of cakes that looked scrumptious and would love to try when I get the chance! Bonita Roll (4/5): Fish tasted good and not fishy at all! Flavors were pretty good and I was impressed with the offerings they had for rolls at this store. My roll had spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, and salmon on top which was delicious. My only complaint is that there was a lot of rice compared to the filling. Overall I'm very surprised by how decent the sushi here was and I would definitely come back here if I was looking for some sushi takeout next to UCI. read more

Iro Sushi Stuff X Roll - Adorable Macarons - Sushi Bars Near Me - Irvine, California

I visited on a Sunday evening and was less than impressed. I had tried this place a couple months ago and had a similar level experience but wanted to give it another try before reviewing. The service levels are non-existent. No one greets you, you order on an iPad, and then they bring it out to you without asking if you need anything else. I ordered the double tuna roll and was not impressed by the fish quality. The tuna was dry - like it was a week old. They give you one soy sauce packet and when you ask for more, the woman behind the counter will say "this time it's free but next time it's $0.25" in an annoyed tone. I will not be going back - there are better food options in that center and better sushi options close by. read more

Iro Sushi Stuff X Roll - Macaron - Sushi Bars Near Me - Irvine, California

The baked salmon was good. Service kind of slow. Overall food quality not great: too much carbs per protein ratio. At almost $30, I got so little seafood for the price and the amount of rice. Didn't meet my daily nutrition needs. They also don't give you a receipt. My total should've come out to $20-25. Also very little indoor seating. Outside seating is susceptible to wind blowing your belongings away. I got: 1 Baked Salmon + combo with 2x Yuzu Scallop Inaris + drink/miso soup + tax = $28 read more

I definitely won't be ordering from here again. They charged me 3 separate amounts to change the sushi base from California roll to spicy tuna without informing me of the charges beforehand read more

3 months ago I had said I wasn't sure if I'd be back. 3 months later, I came to UTC with a coworker and we both wanted a quick lunch. He suggested this place and instead of saying no I didn't like it, I decided to give it another try. Because I don't ever say no to sushi, ever. Only this time I knew I wouldn't do the inaris again and just ordered off the specialty roll menu. I was deciding between the Double Salmon (salmon+avocado and salmon+avocado) and the Sakura (salmon, avocado, and crab meat) because, you guessed it, I love salmon and avocado! I ended up going for the latter since it was a couple dollars cheaper and I just wanted something light. And... I liked it! The pieces of salmon were quite a mouthful, which I felt like was worth more than the sum of smaller pieces of salmon. While I normally like good sushi rice, I don't mind that it got replaced by crab meat. And did I mention that I like avocados? The presentation of the Sakura is also insta-ready. Coworker complained about the excessive packaging that this place uses, which is a valid concern in this date and age. Maybe there are more eco-friendly options out there? And I still didn't get to try their desserts which looked ever so tempting. Most everything I laid eyes on behind the glass display looked good, but I really really want to try those basque cheesecake.... Well, I guess there will likely be a next time. read more

Iro Sushi epitomizes the concept of "fast casual sushi". When you first visit, simply peruse the menu on one of their available tablets, place and pay for your order, and then wait for your meal to be prepared. Besides the bar stools, don't expect to find anywhere inside to sit. I believe it's by design for customers to order and takeout or dine at one of the outside tables. We ordered the Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna and Double Salmon Roll, and they were both solid choices. The fish isn't melt in your mouth, but the tuna, salmon and other ingredients were still high quality. As you would expect from a Japanese restaurant, the staff was very courteous. Iro Sushi is a good option if you find yourselves around UC Irvine and are craving sushi! read more

Easy kiosk ordering, decently fast service, slightly above grocery store level sushi. Small selection and small business which explains the slightly inflated prices since they building is being leased. read more

I always come here whenever I crave sushi. The owner is always so kind, and the fish is incredibly fresh every time. Truly feels like a hidden gem! My favorite is Double Salmon !! read more

Amazing macarons , restaurant & customer service ! definitely going to be coming back

Starving and having just dropped off my Amazon return, I decided to search Yelp for someplace new to try. I came across this to-go sushi place and decided to give it a shot. With my terrible sense of direction, I walked in a big circle and finally found the location. I walked inside to be greeted by two very friendly workers. The first thing I noticed was the display case containing all of the sushi/inari that they carry. Being my first time, they explained how the food is replaced with new ones every 2 hours so that it's always fresh when ordered. I decided to order the Meat Lover sushi roll, which appealed to me because of the cooked beef inside of it. The roll was pretty large and had an equal amount of meat/vegetables on the inside. The flavor was good, as well as the texture. The beef was tender, flavorful, and not dry. I was not disappointed. There's a few seats inside if you wanted to just eat there. Service was excellent, the workers were very helpful and gave input to help me choose what to get. Go give this place a shot! read more

I had already eaten lunch and was looking for ice cream, when I saw Iro Sushi. They had recently opened and were having a 50% off special on sushi, so I was intrigued. Iro Sushi specializes in inari, deep fried tofu pockets stuffed with sushi rice and various fillings. They had about eight different flavors of inari and several rolls. I got the Yuzu Scallop, two for only $4.49 with the half off deal. What a bargain! I haven't had inari in years, and this reminded me of how much I like them! I was glad that there weren't any ice cream shops in UTC, because I tried Iro Sushi instead. It was better than inari from the market, but at full price, it's a little on the expensive side. I'd probably need at least three orders to be full, which is a little steep. Staff is friendly and the store is quite stylish! Online ordering available. Free parking in the UTC parking lot. read more

This review is just for the desserts served by the magnificent Braga Baker. I first experienced these delicious desserts when she was stationed in Tustin. She makes so many decadent treats like Orange Earl Grey Cake, Ube Cake, and a new seasonal Pumpkin Orange Mousse Cake. I actually order party cakes a week in advance through her IG page, and go pick up. My favorite is the Mango Cake with real mangoes and the best cream I've ever had on a cake. I am a forever customer and I will follow wherever she goes! read more

California rolls are my weakness. Stumbled across this place and excited to go back! The lady working was so friendly and adorable. We were going to sit outside but she insisted we eat inside so we can enjoy the warmth, holiday music and decorations. We ordered the California roll, Alaska roll, and the crabby island inaris. Hoping to try some of the drinks and desserts next time! read more

Great food and awesome service! Love the sushi and cake. Food comes out quick and is delicious! Will definitely come back!

I love coming here for the desserts. Service is good too. Macarons are really good and so is the sushi.

Updating my review to a 3.5 star. I ordered again from a delivery app and went to pick it up only to see that they locked the door and went on a lunch break from 3:40 to 5. However, I see from the delivery app that it said the status of the order was already picked up even though I didn't pick it up yet. It wasn't even that long after I ordered. I literally ordered and went straight to pick it up. However, they didn't call me or notify me in any way saying that they were going on lunch break/locking the door before leaving my order in plain sight in the restaurant. Perhaps it was because they are a fairly new restaurant, so there was some miscommunication. Also, I really hope that they can hire more workers to help or do something to help the situation. I really do like this restaurant and hope that it can improve in the future. read more

Sooooo yummy!! And such a cute sushi shop!! They have a wide array of different little novelty desserts and drinks on top of having bangin sushi rolls. I tried the creme brûlée crepe cake, firecracker roll, and unagi nigiri; everything was delicious. Guy at the front was so nice and made helpful recommendations that made it easy for me to decide what I want. The food came out so fast, too! I love it here. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I always take pics of my food to post on yelp but when I got home I was so hungry I ate one and then it was so good that I scarfed it down in like 5 minutes. No time for photos. I got the vegan veggie roll and it was bomb af. I love when places have fun veggie rolls instead of just cucumber. The vegan roll is my new go to!!! Yum yum read more

The best sushi restaurant I have ever tried for sure! I am quite a picky eater and yet there are many things on the menu I love. I can always expect good quality ingredients and thoughtfully-prepared food every time I visit...which is quite frequently. The owner is incredibly kind and always provides amazing service. The food is prepared quickly and thoughtfully which makes it a perfect option to get in between a busy schedule. The sushi itself is fantastic with fresh, quality ingredients, but the bakery items and the sides (like the miso soup) are also amazing! I would definitely definitely recommend trying it out. read more

Iro Sushi Stuff X Roll - Dragon roll? - Sushi Bars Near Me - Irvine, California

Not a lot of selection-got the salmon ikura and hot lobster...both was unique and decent but I wouldn't say it's a must try or something I am dying to come back. They also have rolls-basic fishes-tuna, salmon nothing fancy like otoro or halibut etc. Keep in mind, all rolls are pre-made so I am unsure how long it's been on the display cases. When you enter the store? There's a display case with all the rolls/ikura options. You pick whatever you want and they ring you up and place them in a box for you... Store is about hidden-it's on the target side of the university plaza. Clean and very modern. read more

It was my boyfriend and I first time coming here and we loved it! The concept behind it was super nice! Very thankful for the girl who helped us since we were both new to trying out their food. Best deal was the 50% from their grand opening since we're currently broke college students lol Spicy Tuna Inari - super fresh, I love how fresh the tuna was and this was my boyfriend's favorite too Yuzu Scallop Inari - this was super good as well! I wished I tasted more of the yuzu but I really like the idea of the little caviar tasting like yuzu, super unique! Overall we had a great experience, planning to come back soon! read more

Iro Sushi Stuff X Roll - Double salmon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Irvine, California

Got attracted by how clean and elegant this new sushi place is. First off i was greeted by how friendly and energetic the staff was, I couldn't make up my mind what to order because of how creative the chief plays the color of food (nothing artificial). Remembering the staff mentioned they eliminate all the food that's made paste 2 hours to make sure the freshness, even though they have it all in the temperature controlled fridge. (Kind of a waste but I'm sure they recycle it by putting in their tummy) However I went with Spicy tuna, meat lover & double trouble (salmon). Meat lover (must get) is something new to me with the kbbq style flavored roll On the other hand, the colored masago inari sushi impressed me with the pigments of yuzu/wasabi/regular masagos, as well as the texture of how they pop in your mouth. This place is one of those "not your typical sushi place" but in a good way. The authentic core of sushi rolls and with a tad of creativity infused. Definitely worth reoccurring visits because of how affordable, fresh, and the quality of the food. Solid 5. read more
