Found another restaurant that offers bentos, so off I went to check it out! Kin Sushi is located in a medium-sized shopping plaza off of Alicia Pkwy & Paseo de Valencia, with free parking available in the shared lot. Upon arrival, I was surprised to find how large the restaurant was inside. I ordered the Dinner Bento Box to go for $18. You can select 2 main entree items out of approx 14 items such as salmon teriyaki, tempura, chicken cutlet, gyoza, various sushi rolls, etc. I selected the chicken teriyaki and Philadelphia roll. It also came with rice, miso & salad. The bento itself was just average. The chicken was dry. They included the teriyaki sauce on the side, which I appreciated. The Philadelphia roll was very tasty. The miso soup was good but the salad lacked dressing. If there were any dressing on it, it was very little. I probably wouldn't return since I thought the food was just average and there are better bentos in the area.

Spicy tuna hand roll
Katie K.

Came here for their mid-week happy hour (2:00-5:30!). Spicy tuna hand roll, mango roll, OMG roll (just okay..), but their yellowtail roll with salmon and avocado was my favorite (not on the happy hour menu). The baked mussels were unlike anything I've tried before! Pretty good. The service was great, there were only a few folks inside. Clean inside which is always a plus. We've been here once before and will be back!

Avocado rolls, salmon rolls, and California rolls

If you want quick, fresh, and reasonably priced sushi rolls in the area, Kin Sushi is a great spot to go. Their to-go orders are always ready as soon as my arrival. Like in the matter of less than 10-15 minutes at most. The ingredients are fresh and nothing tastes fishy. Their avocados are always perfectly ripe without blemishes or unripened hardness. The other items I like from them are the spring rolls. Extremely crunchy and sharp shards abound because of the crispiness. I love it! So much so I have no pictures of them because down the hatch it went. So if you live in the South OC area, I hope you give them a try. There's areas to sit down and have a dine-in meal as well and parking is free.

Kin Sushi is exactly what you want in a local, go-to sushi spot. It's comfortable, welcoming, and consistently solid. The fish is fresh, portions are generous, and the menu has a wide enough selection that everyone can find something they love. Their happy hour is the real standout with great pricing, good variety, and a perfect option when you want quality sushi without the splurge. It's the kind of place you can drop into after work or on a casual night out and always know you'll get a good meal. Kin Sushi shines as a reliable and casual neighborhood favorite with friendly service, a solid selection, and an excellent happy hour that keeps you coming back.

Crunchy Roll
Christine T.

Up next: Mango Tango: Good but difficult to eat. It loses shape because it is wet with sauce. You have to strategically pick it up fast and shove it in your mouth. The onions are a good compliment to it because it added the much needed crunch to the bite. Sunrise: I am normally not a fan of tuna rolls unless it is spicy tuna but this was really good. Slightly sweet from the sauces but well balanced. Probably one of my favorites. Baked Langostino: Very addicting. Warm but not overdone or dry which can be a problem at some places. Balanced delicate sweetness. Summer: Very refreshing.

Been coming here for years, but have never done a review. Great staff good food. This order was off menu. Asked for the chef to make some random cuts his choice and flavor

Come in and enjoy the freshest and most delicious sushi. The atmosphere is relaxing and everything you expect and want. Service is wonderful every time. This place is a GEM! Our waitress Mina was very knowledgeable and her customer service is amazing! OUR CHEF KEE is the one we always go to. His skills as a chef are unique and priceless. We LOVE coming here every chance we get.

Jalapeño poppers
Miranda P.

We stopped in for a sushi date night and had a wonderful experience. The service was fast and attentive, and the food was delicious. I am picky about my salmon, and can say that the salmon I had tasted fresh with a great texture. The house Chardonnay also paired great with the different types of wish we ordered. Highly recommend!

Tuna bite
Houser S.

I searched all over the area for crispy spicy tuna and found this place just a few short miles from home. I had no clue this place existed despite driving by multiple times! They don't call it CRISPY SPICY TUNA though. They call it TUNA BITES. It's my new favorite thing. Omg so so so good! A must try. The hostess was 5 star all the way. I ordered the edamame, plain salt, the Tuna Bites, it's 5 pieces, and an Arnold Palmer to drink! They have big screen tv, it large, Susie bar if you like. Overall, 5 stars food 5 star service and 5 star ambiance. I went on a Sunday so mostly families there laughing having a good time! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Destiny Roll
Carissa K.

I ordered takeout, and the fish quality was good! I love the Destiny roll because of the yellowtail outside and salmon inside.

Ask the Community - Kin Sushi

Do you have all you can eat special?

Sorry we don’t serve all you can eat.

Would you be able to accommodate a table of 22 people?

Can i order online for take out?

Yes we have online orders. At www.kinsushilagunahills.com

Can rice paper be substituted for seaweed for all rolls?

Yes, I do it all the time.

I typed AYCE SUSHI, This was #1 listed... Does this Sushi restaurant offer AYCE sushi? Or is it falsely advertised as Limited Happy Hour?

No more AYCE, new owner. The happy hour is 50% off 2nd sushi roll and $2.00 draft beer.

When will 20% off promotions end?

They aren't sure...but when it does, they will put a happy hour in it's place.

Is this Korean or Chinese-owned/run or is it actually Japanese-owned/run?

My best guess, Korean.

Soba Izakaya Minami is a go-to spot for my partner and me! We absolutely love the soba here and…read morefind ourselves coming back specifically for the Duck Dipping Soba. It's a little different from the more traditional cold soba with a standard dipping sauce. Instead, you dip the soba into a warm, savory broth with duck, and that's exactly what makes it so memorable for us. Neither of us are normally huge fans of duck, but we are obsessed with it here. The broth is incredibly flavorful, and paired with their soba, it's amazing. We haven't found anything else quite like it nearby. We also really enjoy their tempura. The breading is light and crispy, and it pairs perfectly with the soba. Another thing we love is that you can get free refills of the soba noodles, and they definitely don't skimp on the refill portions either. Our most recent visit was especially memorable because of our server, Patty, who was incredibly kind and made an already great experience even better. Definitely have to give a shoutout to her! Overall, we absolutely love Soba Izakaya Minami and always look forward to coming back. The Duck Dipping Soba alone keeps this in our regular rotation and is something I'd definitely recommend trying.

I got the dipping udon with the duck sipping sauce (very rare to find duck dipping sauce even in Japan). YOU NEED TO ORDER EXTRA, it's sooo worth it. I come back whenever I crave udon. The ambience is very Japanese and the waiters are dressed in traditional Japanese-wear. The food comes out pretty quick and everything is clean. When I came in with my husband, we heard a lot of Japanese speaking customers so this place is legit legit.

I recommend getting extra tempura flakes and green onions. They are free. They also have fresh ginger at the condiment bar and that was bomb. It's a simple udon place, nothing too fancy, but it's quick and very clean. It was crowded when I went, but it was still manageable. I didn't get any tempura this time, but I'll definitely be back to try it. I got the large udon bowl and it was honestly too much for one person. If you plan on coming here often, make sure to sign up for the rewards. Overall, really good udon and I'll be back again.

The food itself is good, but unfortunately, the service and overall experience were horrible…read more First, the menu is misleading. Their online menu clearly showed a vegan option, but when we arrived, we were told they had removed it and no longer offered it. If you're vegan, your choices are extremely limited, so don't rely on their online menu being accurate. The staff was also rude, unhelpful, and completely unwilling to accommodate even simple requests or modifications. Their attitude was basically, "What you see is what you get." Instead of trying to help or offer alternatives, they made us feel like we were inconveniencing them just by asking questions. On top of that, the restaurant was unbelievably loud. There were kids screaming throughout the place, and it was so noisy that we could barely hear the people sitting with us. Good food doesn't make up for misleading menu information, rude service, zero flexibility, and an unpleasant atmosphere. I definitely would not recommend this place based on my experience.

I do wish it has a bit more sauce for the flavor since it was very subtle. However, still good :) Grilled eel 3/5 this was my least favorite as the sauce is a bit on the sweeter side which I don't usually like for my eel. The eel was also very bony? Definitely my least favorite, not sure if I'll get this again Garlic imitation crab 4/5 the garlic paste on top was good at the beginning but it began to taste very weird to be toward the middle? It kind of left my mouth with a tingly feeling and wasn't pleasant to eat at all. I do like the flavor but it became very repetitive afterward

Dined in with a party of 5 for a birthday and were seated after a few minutes (still about 10…read moreminutes before our reservation time). The space inside is intimate and cozy, with stools at the sushi bar and a few tables lined up along a wall of booth seats. Started off with appetizers: the Tokyo nachos, the crispy rice with spicy tuna, and an order of gyoza. The gyoza were super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The Tokyo nachos had fried wonton chips topped with spicy tuna, masago, a spicy mayo, and eel sauce. Lastly, the crispy rice really showcased the spicy tuna as it didn't have avocado or any sauces on top. It really allowed the freshness and clean taste of the fish to shine, and the kick in the spicy tuna was much more pronounced than in the nachos. For entrees, we ordered the chicken katsu, the chicken teriyaki, the hibachi wagyu, a Blackjack roll, a Miss Lynn roll, a couple of California hand rolls, a negitoro hand roll, and an eel hand roll. Everyone enjoyed everything, but I personally tried the hibachi Wagyu and Miss Lynn roll and they were both delicious! One of the main standouts of the hibachi was the sautéed mushrooms and onions, they were deeply savory and tasty with the tender beef. Definitely worth coming here as the whole wait staff worked together to provide impeccable service, checking in and removing empty dishes on a consistent basis. For a smaller restaurant, it was never overwhelming next to the other patrons or hard to hear/partake in conversations. Will absolutely come back!

The fish was VERY fresh, the presentation of the rolls were beautiful, and nothing felt heavy or over-sauced! We also tried the Divine Droplets sake and that was probably my favorite surprise of the night. Really smooth and way too easy to drink! It's a small, trendy spot and has a great energy to it, perfect for Laguna!! Dare I say... yes, it's BETTER THAN NOBU!

The table has iPads but it just takes away from the dine in service. We were seated quickly, and the food is good, but the service is not great. And I think this is due to being understaffed and it's just all too fast moving for them to keep up. I pressed the service button on the table and nobody came and we also tried to flag down a worker but she was in a huge rush and didn't hear us and kept moving. So more so something for management to look at because you never want to leave someone waiting for a simple task. Those minutes make or break the experience! The inside is tiny but it's nice and clean. Everytime someone leaves they make sure to wipe down the tables. I will keep coming to coco, but I hope that aspect gets better!
