    First time here. This place is the best place ever. Amazing sushi, food but most of all the service. Hong lee is the best! Fun place. The chef and owners are so generous. This will definitely be our go to place.

    The service here is exceptional! The menu has a wide array of high quality fish. The food came out quickly and presentation was beautiful. I especially liked the toro with caviar. The staff was so friendly and it was such a highlight of dining here. At the end of the meal we got coconut peanut ice cream that was perfect.

    A dessert with peanuts. Not overly sweet-- so perfect

    I came in for dinner and sat at the bar and ordered the omakase--everything was incredible. Each piece tasted fresh, clean, and well-balanced, with nothing overly saucy or overwhelming. They didn't have sweet shrimp that night, so it was replaced with lobster, which felt like such a treat. I didn't catch the lady's name who help served me (so I'll call her Ms.), but she was absolutely wonderful--so kind, attentive, such a vibe, contagious laughter, and full of great recommendations. She brought out a miso soup with a twist: hints of chili oil (it seems) and garlic with fresh tofu. It wasn't grainy at all and was incredibly comforting and flavorful. The chef also offered me monkfish to try. While the texture and cut were a little different for me, the bite itself was still enjoyable. I then asked for a special I had seen in another post--foie gras, uni, and black cod--and it was AMAZING. Easily the highlight of my dinner. For my last course, I asked the chef to surprise me, and he served shima aji, which once again did not disappoint. When I was finishing up, Ms. asked if I wanted dessert and checked to see if I like peanuts nut, then brought out something like a coconut sweet cream ice cream. It instantly brought back nostalgic childhood flavors--like chè in ice cream form. Not too sweet and the perfect way to end the meal. Everyone was incredibly kind and attentive, and I truly enjoyed my entire experience. I've wanted to try this place when it was opened in Garden Grove, so I'm happy they reopened and moved closer to me. I will definitely be back.

    This is by far my favorite sushi spot in the OC. Everything is fresh and they have a great selection for nigiri. Amazing customer service from Chef and his wife. I've been introducing a lot of my friends to this place and they loveeee it!

    Red Sake honestly blew me away! I needed to plan a birthday dinner for my friend and he requested sushi, but I knew the places in my area were either too small or too expensive for our group. So I took a chance and called Red Sake and made a reservation over the phone, I even called the next day to add an extra person to make a total of 12 people and they accommodated me no problem! Once we arrived, the ambiance and the service was amazing. Our server was such a delight and all the food and drinks came out so quickly and everything was delicious! I ordered the albacore dream roll and the seared albacore on top was so tender! They even heard us singing happy bday to our friend and after we had finished our food, they brought him an ice cream with a sparkler candle and even brought free ice cream for the whole table! So impressed with this place and my friends kept telling me what a great spot I found! Would recommend this spot to anyone and honestly can't wait to go back!

    Red Sake's back ! On the corner of Brookhurst and Mcfadden -lots of parking might I add. You can see the restaurant from the street as you drive on Brookhurst. Dined on Wednesday, no wait. Opted for omakase at the bar ($65pp, 8 courses). Complimentary spicy edamame. Appetizers: Ordered calamari and 6 kumamoto oysters. I highly* recommend the oysters. So good, perfectly briny and of course small. Not a fan of big oysters so this is just a personal preference. Next time, will do a dozen oysters mmm 8 course omakase (not the correct order): Scallops. Yellowtail. Salmon belly. Cod. Tuna. Ankimo. Toro. Kampachi. Everything was so good ! Just how I remembered it. Chef Alberto was so kind and attentive. He even let us try Japanese uni -the last time I had this was 3 years ago in New York sighs. Good Japanese uni just hits differently. I'll order this next time ! Owner Chi Hong was so funny and kind as well -overall a very enjoyable experience. I even got complimentary coconut ice cream ! It was reminiscent of those durian, mung bean, coconut and red bean vietnamese ice cream sticks that used to sell for $0.50 long ago. I asked if I could to go since I really wanted my dad to try it. Chi Hong was so gracious and even added more scoops. ...That made my inner child really happy. Haven't felt inclined to write a review in a while as most dining experiences have been subpar but Red Sake was just too amazing. A lot of friends have been curious about Red Sake and are now excited to try. Not a paid review or anything, I've always loved Red Sake and I'm just happy there's a closer, amazing sushi place :) Notes: -Fridays/Saturdays, live DJs -plenty of parking -accepts catering -does nyotaimori

    Everything was amazing! Each plate was carefully plated with beautiful small details and made with love. Even the ginger tasted better. Very good quality sushi used. We went during dinner rush with only one server, so it was a little bit slow at first getting our order taken. However food came out quickly and the server tried her best to be accommodating and to check on us regularly. They gave us free edamame and dessert as well. The blood oranges they gave were very sweet and refreshing. Will definitely be back!

    Amazing fish and service! They're so sweet and welcoming, they made us feel like regulars. Prices are so reasonable for the quality.

    This place is so good! Such a vibe. Clean restaurant, bathrooms and tables. The service is absolutely amazing with our waiter. The food was also top notch. We will be coming back!

    I really love this place. The sushi is really good for what they offer. I love our server; she's really funny and feels like your favorite older sister. Her laugh is infectious. The decorations are cute and feels like a themed restaurant. This is the second time I've been here and enjoy my dinner experience both times. Our server always gives us free ice cream at the end and it's really good too. I love it here and I wish more people will come here just to support them.

    Bobby S.

    Place is amazing just another level from basic sushi places they actually cater to the customer with there huge selection that you don't get everywhere free edamame free soup he even made me some fried garlic with salt and it was delicious the toro is terrific and the service is great I will be back

I'm not a fan of sushi because I don't like raw fish, but this is legitimately the only place I have made an exception. The service was good. The server was very polite but didn't check on us often enough. I really liked the ambience of the store, it feels like a traditional Japanese joint. The place was very clean and the overall lighting is dim

They didn't check in with us to let us know the dishes were going to be delayed. We had to ask for an update after 40 minutes and they only told us then that there was only one sushi chef at that time. The restaurant had maybe 6 covers at the time and a couple of them already had food. Another group with the same amount of people came after us and received a sushi roll we had also ordered before we had gotten a single rice roll. I called over a server with lashes and a pony tail saying "Hi, I wanted to know what the priority is for the kitchen as it took 40 minutes for us to receive the couple dishes we had but the other table who came after us received a roll we ordered as well." Mind you that table had received all of their ramens and had been eating. I told her I completely understand the hot food is a different person and I had absolutely no problem with them receiving the ramen, but why did we not get priority for that roll? She didn't apologize for the wait and had a very blunt/rude way of speaking to us. When I was mid sentence, she walked away to pull our original server. However, even though she walked around the corner I was still able to hear her tell the other server quite loudly what was happening. Our server was extremely professional and apologized for the delay and reiterated the delay in you the kitchen. I told her I completely understand there was a delay but if she had told us while we were making our order that the sushi items may be delayed due to being understaffed, we would have changed our order to have more hot foods. I also told her I wanted to speak to a shift lead at that point because the server with the lashes walking away mid sentence was one of the rudest things I've experienced at a restaurant. The manager apologized and it still ended up taking another hour for all the food to come out and they still forgot the last two rolls we needed. We had to remind them we were still waiting on the rolls. One of the rolls was the roll given to the table that started the whole thing. We literally spent $500 for a bad two hour and fifteen minute experience. They also didn't refill drinks until an hour and a half in. My family and I spend at least $500 each time we go here and suffice to say, we aren't coming back.

We were a party of four, and because of the way the all-you-can-eat ordering system currently works, you're limited to a certain number of plates per section every 10 minutes. Our first round took around 20 minutes to come out, and one of our first-round orders didn't even arrive until last call. Naturally, we felt like we barely had a chance to eat and politely explained this to the manager when he came over to tell us to place our last orders. Instead of listening or trying to accommodate us, he responded in a very rude and passive-aggressive manner, saying things like, "Every time you guys come, you leave food," and "I've given you guys enough time." Neither statement is true--we always eat what we order and have never had an issue like this. When we simply asked for a little more time because our food was taking so long, he responded, "So what do you guys want?" and then walked away saying, "Okay, yeah, whatever, bro." What made it worse was that while we were still waiting on food we had already ordered, he came over and turned off our grill. We had to ask another server to turn it back on because we still had orders coming out. If the restaurant is taking a long time to bring out food, that shouldn't be held against the customer. The food was still good, and I want to emphasize that the other staff members were great. This review is specifically about the manager and how he handled the situation. We are regular customers and have never caused problems, so being spoken to that way by a manager was incredibly disrespectful and unnecessary. Customer service matters, especially when you're dealing with paying customers who are simply trying to get what they ordered. I hope management addresses this because this experience definitely left a bad impression.

When I got there I was told a 20-30 min wait. They were busy and they just opened! I waited outside and luckily there was a seat available. I went when they had lunch specials, so that's what I got. I got the 4 hand rolls that come with miso soup and edamame. I wasn't feeling the blue crab hand roll and asked if I could substitute it for something else. And they said it was okay, so I got another salmon. I've always wanted to try the premium rolls, so I got the A5 Wagyu with uni. Salmon is my favorite, so I loved that they allowed me to get another one in place of the blue crab hand roll. I enjoyed the spicy tuna crunch. I'm not a big fan of spicy tuna, but this wasn't too spicy for me. And the crunch gives good texture to the hand roll. The scallop hand roll was nice and refreshing. It has umami from the mayo (or kewpie) they add to it. The premium A5 Wagyu with uni was my favorite! The A5 had great taste and texture. Very well seasoned and the chew is perfection. It melts in your mouth like butter, which is probably why it pairs well with the Uni. The Uni has a nice, velvety texture - similar to how the A5 Wagyu does. And the caviar on top give it a little saltiness. The ambiance is nice, but can get loud esp when it gets crowded. This definitely is a bar-like seating. Which is nice because you also get that interaction with your servers / roll makers. I will definitely be coming back here and brining my Husband so he can try it here!
