This is my favorite sushi spot of all time, since I was a little girl. Their sushi is always top quality, big rolls for a good price!!! Always I always get the oriental set amazing price they NEVER let me down!!! this place deserves so much more love! salmon is always fresh!! service is always good too easy place to grab your favorite sushi and even quality to go which is hard to come by. Thank you! I was coming back from a trip from the dessert and the first place I stopped was sango, I'm so sad they closed this place is my childhood! I would get their poke bowl all the time at least once a week because it never hurt my stomach. The rolls were so big too! Compared to sushi places in OC for great price. read more

The food was good for a little place, It was self service but they did took our order at our table and brought us our food! It was a little bit slow for the service but the food was good it is not amazing but it is good! Lol The ambiance is okay as well... I won't expect much about this place because most of the people are just ordering it for to go. A Quick togo order. I will recommend this place for lunch and if you want a quick eat but would not recommend it for a place where you have to bring friends and have a good time. read more

I've always hesitated to try this place due to the negative reviews, but was in a hurry for lunch and decided to stop in. I ordered a crunchy roll to go and was told the wait would be 20 min. I went ahead and ordered, killing time at the thrift store nearby. When I got home I was so disappointed. The roll wasn't good and fell apart. Portion was small, too. I would've been better off getting a roll at Sprouts. read more

A small intimate Japanese food restaurant near home. I usually get a combo that has a bit of everything. The last time I ordered the oriental set with teriyaki chicken, poke salad, tempura, edamame, and Cali roll. You'll need to place the order at the counter and the food will be delivered to your table. Friendly staff that checks in and informed us when the food may be delayed. read more

Sad to report that Sango Sushi will be closing on May 17, 2026. This has always been a solid spot for reasonably priced sushi, and it's disappointing to see it go after so many years. A public notice posted at the location indicates that Full Moon Sushi will be moving in after ownership changes and some remodeling. Hoping the new place keeps the neighborhood sushi tradition going. read more

Salmon is my favorite type of raw fish so I especially love coming to Sango Sushi to get their French Kiss Roll which has spicy salmon on the inside with salmon sashimi on the outside. Their salmon is very fresh and delicious. My husband likes getting the Super Bento Box which gives him sashimi and chicken teriyaki. We also ordered oyakodon and chicken udon which were decent. The restaurant is not that big with a few tables for dine in. It is bright and clean and the staff is very friendly. The food comes out fast. We enjoy coming here once in awhile when I have my salmon roll craving. read more

We came here tonight, Sunday night, and the place was busy. I'm surprised about the lower ratings because what we ordered was good. I had the Oriental Bento box. Everything was good. Poke salad had the right amount of poke for me as an appetizer. The teriyaki chicken breast was perfectly cooked and delicious. The California roll and tempura were both good. Hubby had the combination plate with teriyaki chicken and tempura and he loved it. He never really cared for teriyaki but surprisingly he loved it tonight! Now, the best was Kate, the young lady at the front of the house. She was amazing and very sweet. And she basically did EVERYTHING! Kate greets people the minute they walk in. She takes the orders, rings up the cash register, serves all tables when foods are ready, brings what diners need, cleans and wipes down tables after people finish eating, etc., all with a smile! When customers leave, she always makes sure to reach out and say "thank you and have a good night!". 10 stars plus for Kate! We will be back again soon. Great foods, reasonable prices, excellent service. What's there to not like? Love it. read more

Small place with a decent priced menu. Our favorite is the Super Bento with a meat, chicken, salad and sushi - fresh and tasty

Just moved to Aliso and was happy to see a sushi spot within walking distance of our place. The sushi is fresh, the prices are decent, and they're fast with the take out orders. I also got a bento and you get a lot of food! Pictured here are two special rolls. I forget the names already but the one with onion on top has albacore and ponzu sauce, and the other one is salmon and tuna on top with more fish inside! read more

Bad experience on ordering and pricing due to a confusion in the online ordering system

If you're in the mood for fast food but you want something healthier you could do worse than Sango. We tried beef teriyaki and chicken teriyaki plates. Preparation was fast and serving size was large. Plate includes lots of meat and salad and rice for a very reasonable cost. The place itself is a hole in the wall, and seating is limited and not too comfy, but if you're hungry, this'll work. Recommended. read more

Plenty of free parking. Small dining area inside. You order at the cashier, find a seat and they bring the food to you. Self serve water station. Rolls are decently priced. Tastes pretty good. Service is ok. Been here many times. At the end of my first meal there, I found a blue piece of old rubber band inside of my roll. Found it as I was chewing and it did not taste edible. Not Good, since who knows what else I ate and might've missed by tongue filtration. I've been back because it's great for cheap sushi cravings, on the days where you're not trying to spend a fortune on an authentic Japanese sushi joint. read more

Very reliable and well priced. We frequently get for take out. Always consistently good cut rolls.

Place was nice and small and the workers were very polite. We had the Superman Burrito Roll and paired it with Jalapeño slices and Spicy mayo for that extra kick. This roll was by far one of the best rolls I've head. Also their fountain Coke was great. read more

I'm Asian and I often eat Japanese food, which I really enjoy. I especially love rolls and sashimi sushi. Yesterday, I visited a Japanese restaurant right next to the CVS. The rolls were incredibly delicious, and the sashimi was outstanding. The sukiyaki bento that my companion had was also very tasty. The prices were lower compared to other places since they were on sale, and the open kitchen, along with the excellent interior for the price, added to the satisfaction. It's a comfortable and hygienically managed place to enjoy Japanese food at an affordable price with friends and family. If you're in the area and looking for good, reasonably priced Japanese food, I highly recommend it! I started eating so quickly as soon as the food arrived that I didn't get a chance to take any pictures. The food was even better than it looked in pictures! I'll definitely go back next time and make sure to post pictures of what I eat. Thank you to the friendly staff at the counter! read more

So when I wrote my last review I gave one star. That experience has now changed. That day the soup was dished out half of the usual serving. Literally the portion was half. Since then I have gone back and they are serving full bowls again so I am guessing it was a very bad day or a mistake. Otherwise, the udon soup was A++. I don't rate the sushi 5 stars but the udon is read more

Sango has been in this center for years. I grew up on Sango, which makes me extra fond of it! It is one of those sushi spots that gives you what you want. No bells and whistles. The restaurant isn't anything too fancy and the food isn't anything too extravagant. But if you find yourself craving sushi, they will satisfy that craving! They have good sized rolls, prices that won't burn a hole in your pocket, and good quality sushi. I usually don't order raw sushi here because I love the rolls with eel on them, but my friend ordered some tuna rolls and they were very fresh and tasty. read more

Sango Sushi - Snake roll + Cali roll - Japanese Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

See all

We've lived in the area for over 3 years now and only recently discovered Sango Sushi. While I don't indulge in sushi, I love miso soup and tempura shrimp. This seems to be the closest spot to find just what I'm looking for. Sango is located in a strip mall on the corner of La Paz and Pacific Park. You'll find it in the northwest corner of the shopping center by CVS. Since this is a shared location, ample parking is available in the lot. It's easy to pass this restaurant up because this location is quite small. So, make sure that you read the signage carefully as you search for this restaurant. Sango is a small restaurant in which you can dine in or take out. The dining room is a bit cramped and you end up invading diners' space while you place your order, if the line is long. Speaking of the dining area, it needs to be tended to more often. The table that we sat at wasn't the cleanest and both toddler high chairs that we selected needed to be cleaned. When we pointed this out, it was taken care of right away though. The menu is straight forward. I gravitate toward yakisoba noodles, shrimp tempura, and miso soup. The yakisoba noodles are absolutely delicious! My niece had a chicken bowl and said that she loves this place! With everything being straight forward, you can't got wrong with Sango. This really is a convenient place to stop by for takeout. Your food is typically ready within less than 15 minutes. People are very friendly and accommodating. It can be quite busy in the evenings so placing your order over the phone might be in your best interest. Sango is a great place to stop by for good food when you're on the go! read more

Great food overall! The portion size is huge and leaves feeling extremely full! The price is great for the value and quality of food! I ordered the super bento box and I was stuffed. The sashimi was fresh! My dad got the combo 2 piece. The meat was devious and once again left very happy! read more

Ordered take out and service was nice and quick. Sushi Combo A and Sushi Combo D were both good... standard. Bento combo with beef teriyaki and tempura was enjoyable. I liked that the beef was not overcooked, and that it wasn't thinly sliced. The tempura included shrimp, green bell pepper, and 1-2 other veggies that I can't recall right now (sweet potato?). Served with salad and rice. Overall it's all right for what we ordered. Maybe their rolls are better? read more

Tuna tough and chewy. They tried 'scoring' the sushi with cross hatch knife marks, but obviously tough. Server overcharged me, check receipts.... read more

I have been going to this place for 10+ years. This has been a local favorite ever since I was a kid. They renovated the place and are able to accommodate a little more. Restaurant is not big, so it could get a little crowded but no big deal. From bento boxes to udon to rolls, everything tastes delicious and fresh. Our personal favorites are the FUTOMAKI, the katsu curry, rainbow roll, baked salmon roll. The bento box is plenty. For $11.50 you get chicken teriyaki, gyoza, salmon, steamed veggies, edamame, shrimp & veggie tempura with rice and a lot of pickled sides. We've also ordered sushi platters here for parties. Workers are so friendly. Vicky used to work here and she remembered our regular orders all the time. Recently, a younger lady helped us out and she was very sweet and helpful. She works so hard and makes sure all the tables are cleaned and everything else refilled. Great quality food. Great service. read more

What a great find! We love Sango sushi! We have live in this area for years and not until recently we found this place. At first, we were a bit hesitant to try as we are super picky about sushi. My hubby is a Japanese American and lived in Japan taught foreigner students how to make sushi. His standard for good sushi is high. Since we were dying for good sushi and I notice there were lots of people ordering to-go's, we decided to give it a try. It was incredible! The food was super fresh and the price is considerably reasonable. We have been here almost every week since. Our favorite is their chirashi. You can tell how good it tastes by the freshness of fish, color arrangement, perfection of sushi rice. The portion is just perfect and It is so yummy. read more
