    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.

    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!

    Such an amazing place when you're craving freshhh sushi. Service was incredible, our server was so sweet and friendly! Everything tasted amazing. Interior is cozy all the while being roomy as well.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    Chef's Choice.

    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.

    Amazing! Definitely our new spot! Not only was the fish SO FRESH! The rolls and sashimi were excellent! The service was amazing, friendly and fun! The restaurant itself was so beautiful! A MUST TRY!

The sushi tastes clean and balanced, and every dish feels thoughtfully made. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. It's a casual spot, but the food is reliable and satisfying every time. It's great to see the original owner back and pouring his heart into the restaurant again.

We decided to give it a try on our first night. Everything from the staff friendliness to the ambiance to the taste of the food was exceptional! The specialty drinks were delicious, and the happy hour prices were more than reasonable. Everything was so good that we went back for a second happy hour in a row. The second visit was just as enjoyable, so much that we decided to visit on Sunday to check out their all you can eat brunch. The selections were amazing with a few exceptions. Some standouts were the ube pancakes, matcha French toast, Toro tartare toast, and garlic scallop fried rice. Some items on the menu left more to the imagination such as the spicy tuna crispy rice, which had no distinct flavor, and the fried oysters. Outside of those selections, the brunch options were amazing and worth the cost. Shout out to Ryan and Koda for the hospitality, and the bartenders that served us during happy hour.

I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants over the years, and this place easily ranks in my Top 3. Every piece was exceptionally fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. I have to admit, I'm usually not a fan of tuna. But the moment I tasted the tuna here, I thought, "Have I been eating fake tuna all my life?" It was that good--clean, rich, buttery, and unlike anything I've had before. Another pleasant surprise was the California roll. I've eaten countless California rolls, but this was the first time I had one made with real crab instead of imitation crab. The difference was incredible, and I was genuinely impressed. The restaurant itself is stunning. The interior design is elegant and thoughtfully done. What I initially thought was wallpaper turned out to be artwork by a renowned art director, which made me appreciate the space even more. And the fish-shaped light fixtures hanging from the ceiling are absolutely beautiful. Finding a truly outstanding sushi restaurant that I can keep coming back to is rare, and I'm so happy I found this place. This is the kind of sushi spot that turns first-time visitors into regulars. Highly recommended!

I didn't know what to expect but even if I did, I can say that it would have exceeded those expectations. We had a reservation for 7 and were able to get seated promptly. We got the VIP option and once the food started, it never stopped coming. What you get for $75 was quite literally insane, in the best way possible. Since we came a bit close to closing time, the servers didn't waste any time and just brought out everything that was offered on that menu since we didn't have any dietary restrictions. From oysters to meats to sushi to lobster tails, this was a feast that we kept thinking about for days after. Everything was delicious and would definitely come back again. Make sure to come hungry if you make a trip to Himizu!
