Nice presentation and good sushi; however, it's pretty expensive. Two pieces of Toro was $24.50. We ordered 4 rolls total and an order of Toro and it came to $98. They actually overcharged us $127 but we caught it. We were the only ones sitting at the sushi bar and service was good. But I don't think we will be back because of the prices. read more

Sashimi - Hanna roll - Japanese Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Today my group of four decided to ordered a sashimi D combo which was supposed to come with 28 pieces total so we could all each take a bite but it was mistaken to only 21.. Our fault for not realizing after we went home. We also got the first sushi combo which we thought was fine. Ambiance was good and service as well. For the price that we paid it was definitely not worth it for the quality or value. I don't think the sashimi were anything special, maybe it was a super hot day read more

Pros: rolls were good. Service couldn't have been friendlier. Cons: $20-25 a roll is a bit much, that's like $3 a bite. Portion sizes were small esp the garlic edamame which was meh. I didn't taste any garlic. read more

Great sushi! You wouldn't expect it in a location like that but trust me you will be surprised! Melt in your mouth fresh fish and so delicious! We were just two and stopped there for a quick lunch on a workday. As soon as we were seated we were greeted by a kind lady (assuming the owner) who gave us two menus. She came back with water, and 2 small plates of edemame. We started with two miso soups and got the sashimi B combo and a Hana roll. Sashimis were so so delicious and fresh, really good! Worth the steep price! And the Hana roll had some crab meat in it and topped with a spicy sauce - it was all so delicious and the spices and sauces were just right! This is a must try for anyone who loves sushi. read more

They're very kind. The remember us when we come in and their service is great. Only thing I would complain about is the sewage smell by the last table. read more

Excellent quality and that's what it's all about for sushi in my opinion. There's plenty of places that are cheaper but you get what you pay for. I love the staff. They're friendly and attentive. read more

Really great service, we came around the holiday time and they were all very pleasant and prompt with our dishes. That said regarding the food, the shrimp tempura was good but the spicy tuna and California rolls didn't pack much flavor or freshness. Also, when we entered there was strong sulfur or vinegar-like smell which almost made us turn away but we really wanted to give them a shot. Other notes; they seem to be Mexican - Japanese theme which is unique as they have Sushi nachos on the menu. That all said they were quite expensive, for the 3 rolls we had (was around $50). read more

One word for this place WOW! There was a previous review of this place that said not to judge a book by its cover and they are absolutely right. I am a new local so I am always on the hunt for good sushi joints. As a pregnant woman I have to find places that have cooked fish in rolls to at least keep the cravings at bay. Upon entering staff was super friendly and the place was very nicely decorated. Very clean environment and although there was music and a TV on it was not loud. We were allowed to sit wherever we wanted. Bar, table or outdoors. We opted for the bar to just get our food from the sushi chef. Everyone was polite and attentive and constantly were around to clear out empty plates. Since I can't exactly eat raw fish at the moment I ordered a basic California roll and was surprised by the quality of a simple roll. I love sushi it's one of my favorite foods and I can always tell when something isn't quite fresh. Everything tasted amazing. My favorite roll is a Philly roll and I know I can't again have raw fish but they had a deep fried Philly roll so I was extra excited to order it. Although I'm not a fan of deep fried rolls these were very flavorful. Pricing is quite a bit for the rolls like $12+ for 8 pieces but they give you a decent amount and you pay for the quality of the food. Our CA rolls were a little under $6 for 8 pieces. At the end of our meal the chef gave us 2 pieces of sushi on the house. I look forward to visiting again. read more

Fresh quality seafood and creative menu choices! Peter, Carlos, and Kenneth keep things lively at the sushi bar.

Sashimi - Japanese Near Me - Lake Forest, California

OK. I'm super impressed by this place. I always passed by it, wasn't sure how good it was. No one I personally knew gave me recommendations. It has good reviews on yelp sb google but I was still hesitant. OK here's my true rating. Good freshness: super fresh Taste: Delicious Service: Excellent Overall experience: Amazing. As usual I ordered a bunch of things, all were good but the lake forest roll was my most favorite. Highly recommended this place. read more

My fiancé and I wanted to have our first date night of the year at our favorite restaurant: Sashimi. As usual, we were welcomed by the friendly staff. Excellent service and the freshest sashimi EVER. We ordered "The Tower," which is our go to item. It is so good, that I literally had a dream of eating it, as well as the salmon sashimi! LOL. 100% recommend for date night! read more

Sashimi - "The Tower" - Japanese Near Me - Lake Forest, California

The food is good here. And place is in a small quaint plaza and the service is good! The only thing is if you sit near the bathroom, you can smell the stench which doesn't make the experience all that great. This should be a quick fix for them. But like I said, the food is good and i would come back to this place anytime. And it's reasonably priced for a Japanese place. Food seems fresh and delicious. read more

Food was delicious. We ordered the yellowtail kama, Hana roll, and Blue Night Albacore. All the staff members were really friendly. read more

I was a little skeptical to try this place at first, a sushi place in Lake Forest? With a generic sounding name? But there always seemed to be people even on a random weeknight so I thought I would give it a try. And I was pleasantly surprised! First of all, we sat inside and our server was both friendly and enthusiastic. We were glad to hear that they would happily make substitutions to their rolls. They spray all their nigiri sushi with yuzu which gives it a very pleasant smell, but it did add to the vinegar taste of the rice ( I prefer my sushi rice more on the sweet side). The fish was fresh and pretty thick cut. It wasn't the best sushi I've ever had, but I think it wasn't bad for the area. read more

Love this place Quality sushi Friendly service Always clean Doesn't smell like fish Outdoor seating is available Sushi counter & tables. Haven't tried a roll, sashimi, or sushi that I didn't like. Price is reasonable compared to the size of the fish. There are also non-fish items and great appetizers. Frequent this restaurant often and have recommended it to all. read more

Sashimi - Live shrimp. Sea to table - Japanese Near Me - Lake Forest, California

My husband and I are moving out of county, and we are genuinely sad to have to leave our local sushi place behind. By the second time we came here, Steve had remembered our faces and asks us how we are every time we come in. He (and the rest of the staff) are super attentive and have very quick service. The sushi is also great. Best customer service I've had at a restaurant by a mile, we will miss this place! read more

Delicious rolls! I haven't tried the sashimi but the rolls are definitely tasty here. Very friendly staff. A nice casual atmosphere. Great for date night or ordering in for the family. read more

For all the sushi places we've ever been to they always give us a nice friendly greeting as we enter, didn't receive that here (I'm ok with that, was anticipating the food!) But then we received the edemame that they usually give you in the beginning. I'm not even joking it was like 3 pieces per person. We ordered 3 rolls total, waited about 25 min or so for the first one to come out. Then another 10 in between each roll. We also got seaweed salad that took like 15 min to come out and the portion was like 4 tablespoons for $10. Service wasn't very attentive either. Not sure I would return. read more

Just fine. Portions felt small and nothing special flavor wise. Shrimp tempura udon soup only had one shrimp. Dinner bento box was not worth the price. Food came out about 10mins apart. Probably won't be coming back when there are other options. read more

I don't understand how this got such good rating..... sushi, rolls, sashimi.... All horrible. We came here a couple of years ago and didn't like it. We thought we would give it a second chance & regret it. Fish was NOT cold- which made it even worse. And almost EVERY roll is stuffed with spicy tuna- which is like a cheap filler. Flavor was bland and disappointing. The whole place smelled like muggy bathroom water and I feel like I will be sick from it all later I hate to be harsh but they really need to work on their rolls. read more

This sushi spot has a lot to pick from. Rolls, sashimi, bento boxes, udon and a lot more. I got the sushi combo #1. It comes with a California roll and 7 pieces of nigiri. The quality of the fish was fresh and the ratio to fish and rice was good. I was afraid it wouldn't be enough but it actually filled me up. My friends got the mission Viejo roll and 2 baked rolls. They said it was really good. Would definitely come back again. read more

good food good service. we would come back again. it was out first time and there were a lot of regulars which said a lot about the restaurant. we plan to try it again and have more variety. we had the crispy rice with ahi and the ahi nachos. both were good. not the best we've had but good. read more

I stopped by at Sashimi on my business trip in the OC. The Yelp! reviews were so great that I had to drop by and try for myself. I got to the restaurant just before dinner hours, but the folks there let me in early. I situated myself at the bar right in front of the TV to catch NBA playoff. I took advantage of happy hours and ordered a large Sapporo beer for $4.50. That was a really good deal, and that was the extent of my alcoholic beverage consumption. I ordered fried soft shell crab to start my meal and Sashimi Special via Chef Selection, 7 different fish and close 20 pieces. While I was waiting I got a plate of edamame to munch on. The soft shell crab came out quick and I enjoyed the sauce that came with it. The sashimi came a little later but they were so good. There were fish that I normally had at sushi restaurant but they were so fresh. The chef also use fresh wasabi as seen in pictures. The fatty tuna just melted in my mouth. Kampachi (high grade yellowtail) was off the hook. The sashimi was so good that I carefully added a bit of soy sauce to not ruin it. After sashimi, I had a spider hand roll, which was a big piece. Again, the soft shell crab was fried perfectly but I think there was too much avocado in the roll. The food was great, and the service was on point. Should this be a 5-star rating place for me? Well, I would say almost. Why? it was the check, or rather number on the check. Everything came out to be $75 total, which means that sashimi was around 40 something dollars. While it was good, I don't think it is something that I would eat on regular basis. Next time, I will carefully pick out what I want instead of doing 'chef specials.' This is nothing negative about the establishment, but I consider rating restaurant for its bang for the bucks. read more

We absolutely LOVE this place! The staff is so kind and helpful! And the food is amazing. They have a handful of super yummy vegetarian rolls and they can accommodate GF dietary restriction (GF soy sauce). Even the music was fantastic! We live about 30-45 min away but look for every opportunity to drive down and get another stamp on our Sashimi punch card! :)) read more

Amazing sushi spot! Friendly staff, generous portions, unforgettable taste. A must-visit for sushi lovers.

My fiancé and I tried this place out a few nights ago and we both thought the food was delish! We ordered the Hana Roll, salmon sashimi, shrimp and red clam sushi. The fish tasted really fresh and the sushi had the perfect amount of rice. My fiancé ordered the chicken bento box and I gotta say that was good as well! The chicken was really flavorful. Only complaint the service was pretty slow but other than that we had a good experience. read more

My absolutely favorite location for sushi. Great choices - including no rice selections. Fresh and delicious.

We have been going to Sashimi for over a decade. Affordable, quality fish and GREAT service. So glad they survived the last few years. The food is great and our family loves to get together to enjoy it. The hard part is to choose which items we double or triple order on. We enjoy the full range of the menu. Sitting at the bar is great. Trying the new things and having the chef's create a new taste for you after hearing your remarks is a lovely moment. The serving staff is so nice and friendly. We do quick take out from here as well. Better than fast food and so much more flavor. read more

I don't get the appeal at all. We walked in around 6:30 PM on a Sunday night. One of the chefs greeted us, but didn't motion for us to sit down. Being our first time, we thought we had to wait for a host. The waitstaff makes eye contact with us several times, but no one says anything. We decided to just grab a table right by the door. We ordered the bulgogi platter for our young daughters to share, the California roll, the amazing roll, the sunset roll, and the lake Forest roll. The bulgogi came out first on a hot plate the size of my hand. I do not have big hands. The meat was diced so tiny that I could barely pick them up with chopsticks. My girls devoured it and we were contemplating ordering more, but nobody even came near us so we could ask for a menu. My kids settled on finishing their rice with soy sauce. Sad. Almost an hour later our rolls come out. They were all so bland and fell apart the second you picked them up with chopsticks. The spicy tuna tasted like puréed fish with no spicy mayo mixed in. The avocado was crunchy for some reason, and the rest was just so blah. The fact that there were constantly flies around our table didn't help the situation either. $120 later (tax and tip included), we walked out SO disappointed. I understand that it's understaffed everywhere now, but this doesn't make up for quality and simple acknowledgement. Back to trying to find decent sushi in Lake Forest read more
