If you are looking for a restaurant that can flawlessly handle a large group reservation, Kin Sushi absolutely exceeded expectations. I initially reached out about reserving a table for 40+ people during a basketball tournament weekend and was told the manager would contact me back. Sure enough, she called promptly to confirm everything for our Saturday dinner reservation. The entire process was seamless and incredibly easy, especially considering this was a larger-than-normal party. Taizy handled everything professionally. She seamlessly added the extra guests without hesitation. Her only request was that we send over everyone's food orders ahead of time so the kitchen could prepare and ensure nobody had to wait too long. And wow -- they absolutely delivered. Every single order came out accurately and in a very timely fashion. No mistakes, no confusion, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. The servers were organized, attentive, and handled a very large group with ease. Service was truly 10/10. One of the reasons I chose Kin Sushi for a large group dinner was because the menu truly has something for everyone -- udon, sushi rolls, vegetarian rolls, bento boxes, chirashi, sashimi, and something for everyone. They even had Thai iced tea, which isn't normally something in you have in a Japanese restaurant. Parking was very easy, which is always appreciated when coordinating a large party, and there's a restroom conveniently located in the back. I'm beyond grateful for how well they handled our group, and I would absolutely return here again for future team dinners or large gatherings. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Placed an order for pick up, was told it would be ready in 25 minutes - arrived 30 minutes later and stood waiting for an extra 15 minutes. I can understand a long wait time (despite it being a weeknight and barely any customers inside....), but I can't understand communicating 25 minutes and then having someone wait for 45 instead. It's almost as if they forgot to make our order until we arrived. Don't recommend. read more

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

Kin Sushi - Destiny Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

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. read more

Outstanding!! All around stellar customer service!! I tried their 911 Roll, and if you love spicy like I do, you'll enjoy this particular roll. I also experienced their Toro sashimi (5 pieces), and it didn't disappoint! This cute place, full of clean tables and sushi bar, is located in a strip mall/shopping center with ample parking and other interesting dining options nearby. Overall, the food was great, high quality and flavorful, clean, and above and beyond superb customer service! What a huge menu selection, too! Highly recommended! Thrilled with this sushi joint! 5 STARS!!! read more

Extremely disappointed with the poor quality. The tuna was full of sinew and fat, clearly not prepared properly. The rolls were uneven, and the gyoza were swimming in grease. The quality has gone downhill tremendously. No wonder the restaurant was completely empty! read more

My wife and I came to Kin sushi for lunch and was greeted by Taizy she was so freaking cool, we talked through our lunch about a bunch of different topics. While talking with Taizy we introduced to Lucky our sushi chef who was just the best. Lucky made amazing fresh sushi none of that sh*t ayce sushi. Lucky even hooked my wife up with extra special sushi . My mouth is wired shut as of this review and Taizy was so accommodating to my needs that she even offered something off menu that I was acutely able to "eat". I will definitely be telling my friends about this place and I will be back again because of Lucky and Taizy and other staff members. will see you soon! Peace and love TC and KARI read more

Food is so so and service is horrible. Will not come back. There's better sushi places out there with better service!!

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! read more

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! read more

Kin Sushi is my new favorite spot! I have been here a few times since discovering it on Yelp. Their sushi is very good. They even do custom requests!

Ordered a sushi where the description didn't say it had anything spicy in it. I got the sushi and it was spicy. I asked them if they put anything spicy in it and said yes. The waitresses asked if I wanted them to remake it and I said yes but then she gave me a look as she didn't want to. So then I said no. The other sushi I had ordered arrived and it was loaded with wasabi in the mix but no where in the description said it had wasabi. The waitress was already being rude. This place was not your typical authentic Japanese sushi place. The food was horrible. Why does every sushi need to be spicy? There is a reason why they give you wasabi on the side. No wonder there wasn't anyone eating there. Stay away and save your appetite. read more

Great lunch specials! Really enjoyed the food quality and value. Love the ambiance and would definitely come back again

Happy hour 4-530 pm Mon thru Fri. A variety of rolls, gyoza, hand rolls, sake and beer are offered. Beer is $3.50, rolls are $12. You end up saying a couple of dollars per roll during happy hour. The rolls are very thin and small. The mango tango roll was good, ordered two of them. Rainbow roll and autumn roll were also good. Also got the salmon collar, it was ok. And a couple of orders of gyoza. Overall hit the spot if you're craving for some Americanized rolls. read more

I was excited to try a local sushi place with raving reviews, but ended up a little disappointed. We ordered from their website and we were notified that our order would be ready in 40 minutes. We showed up 45 minutes after we placed the order but ended up waiting in the car for some time. It's totally understandable and it must've been busy, but we could've easily gotten a later time to arrive instead. We took the sushi home and felt the rolls were just... average. We got mackerel nigiri which was the highlight of the experience. However, for some reason the ginger smelled terribly like chemicals!! My husband normally loooves to eat the ginger by itself but we had to toss it immediately since we couldn't stand the smell while we were eating. It ended up making our trash can smell so we took the trash out and gave our trash bin a good spray. If anything, I'd only go back for the nigiri to see if that's better. I also saw vegan sushi options on their menu, so props to them on providing those! read more

I didn't like this place . the time that we got there they had 30 minutes to close, our server was in a rush, and she forgot to bring the stuff that we wanted on our table, and the service wasn't good at all, and I don't recommend it to anyone and the quality of the food wasn't good. read more

Pros: * Delicious Food; The sushi rolls were pretty stunning. I recommend the Bento Box. * Clean inside, relax vibe * Quick service Cons: * N/A Extra: * Plenty of Parking * The service was questionable at first, but they were quick to help us when we motioned to them. They don't dote on you and are quick to help. read more

The BEST sushi spot around here! I'm a huge fan of baked lobster rolls and this place hits the mark every. single. time. The eel unagi is especially heavenly with a generous amount of eel and a perfect ratio to rice and eel sauce. The soft shell crab is lightly breaded with a great amount of crab. The owner is always so kind to us and even remembers our usual favorites whenever we come in! read more

Today I ordered the 3 hand roll combo on my lunch. The meal came with Miso Soup and Salad. For only $15. There are a lot of choices, but I went with the Spicy Salmon, California, and Spicy Tuna. They give you a very decent amount of filling I could only finish two! They packaged my food very neatly, utensils, wasabi, and ginger included I was very pleased with how quickly my order came out. Quality was perfect and the woman who greeted me made me feel welcome & happy to be there :) read more

So far amazing. We went on a random night when we were craving sushi and it definitely hit the spot. The Server recommended the Destiny role which did not disappoint. Just order it, don't ask questions. I can't remember what else we ordered maybe the super crunchy and something with tuna which were good as well. Will be coming back just for the Destiny roll alone! We did go on a random Tuesday so we were the only ones there. read more

We were looking for sushi on our way home from furniture shopping at furniture row and did a quick Yelp search and came up with this place. We come to the shopping center often to get boba tea from ChaPlus but had never been to this restaurant. Glad we stopped by because the fish was fresh, the portions were generous, the restaurant was clean, and the servers were friendly. It was pretty busy, so clearly this is a well-known spot for locals. Not pictured but definitely you should get the cucumber salad and the shrimp tempura appetizer. We also got an order of salmon sashimi and the pieces were nice and thick and tender not stringy at all. So glad we came and we will definitely be back! read more

Sushi was really fresh and the variety was amazing! Going back soon for my sushi nights.

so far I only tried the Salmon Teriyaki Bowl and it's very satisfying, plus the house salad "dressing" they have is very good. The service is excellent and very good ambiance inside. read more

I've been to Kin Sushi twice now and I really enjoyed it. The service is friendly and efficient. I asked if they offered Omakase and after checking with the chef they said yes and provided me with a price. They have Omanake choices of different sizes and I selected the 12 piece. Every bite was fresh and tasty. I especially enjoyed the Hokkaido scallop with truffle. My only complaint is that the play cable news on their TV. It's a bummer to watch that while you're eating. I had to ask to sit at a booth instead of the bar so I wasn't facing the TV. read more

Not the best sushi. It feels like we were duped by the ratings. This place is not that good for 77 dollars. We got four items- rainbow roll, baked lobster roll, sashimi sampler, and lovers roll. The lobster roll was gloopy, with overly sweet, and had very little lobster. The sashimi sampler was three types that's fish and they came with sauces- just serve it with the fish plain! The rainbow roll and the lovers roll was meh- not good or bad just meh. For this price and quality- I won't be back. I'm willing to drive to Irvine for better sushi. read more
