It's a Saturday and husband was ready for sushi. I had another place in mind, but they didn't take…read morereservations and we're not about to chance it and wait. So we found this place and it was in the same vicinity and yay, they took reservations. Made reservations same day for a 18:30 seating. Service is impeccable. We were welcomed with hot towels, and this impressed me: when our server asked if we wanted cold or hot water. Love it! We opted for hot, better for digestion :) Our libation: Kubota sake - semi dry, rich, clean Our dishes: Assorted sashimi (16 pcs) - omakase. No soy sauce needed. Chef prepared with delicious flavors in mind. Tiger scallops - served in a what appears to resemble petrified wood, carved into a long boatlike dish. Hokkaido shrimp, cilantro oil, chilaquita (Peruvian onion relish), sweet potato crisp, smoke aji Amarillo (Peruvian yellow chili) Leche de tigre (rich emulsion of limes, Peruvian spices and chilis) - A complexity of flavors that comes together so completely. Eat with spoon. The delicate potato crisp finishes the bite with a little crunch. Udon picante - bell peppers, quinoa and 2 jumbo shrimp. Love the heat level. Comfort food at its best. Salmon parmesan - Nikkei sushi - seared salmon, parmesan bitter, eel sauce , arare, lime. Amazing. O toro sushi - the fattiest cut of tuna. Eat as is. Again chef prepared. No added seasoning required. Parri maki - fried shrimp, cream cheese, seared tuna topped with chimichurri, aji amarillo, chalaquita, ponzu. Food experience was enhanced by their impeccable taste in music. Super chill, soft beats stream the restaurant. With its perfect lighting too sets all the good moods for us. Don't wait for this fine dining experience of Japanese and Peruvian fusion. Note: when they ask if you want soy sauce, say No, thank you. It would be a shame to kill the taste of a beautiful dish with any added sauce. Kampai! Salud!

Overall, an amazing dining experience! The fusion of two cultures is executed…read morebeautifully--combinations you wouldn't expect somehow come together perfectly. The fish quite literally melts in your mouth, and every dish is top-notch, from flavor to presentation. The staff is wonderful--so polite and attentive, taking the time to explain each dish and what it entails. The chef is incredibly kind, and you can truly feel the passion and care he puts into every plate. I highly recommend sitting at the bar for the full experience, where you can interact directly with the chef. We've been here twice now, revisiting a few favorites and trying some new dishes the second time, and everything has been consistently outstanding. The cebiche is an absolute must-try, and you can't go wrong with anything in the Nikkei section--we've tried most of them, and every single one delivers. Would 1000000x recommend coming here for any occasion.

However, the specialty rolls were a lot better; you pay a little more, but they definitely pack them with more fish. We also ordered the hand rolls, which again had a little more cucumber than fish. Overall, I'd give this place a 3 out of 4 stars. Service was good and everything came out fresh, but the quality and portions of the fish could've been better for the price.

Thousands of great reviews! Nothing could go wrong, right? I wish I had read more into the reviews and seen the one star ones.. I feel like they're definitely more true to our experience.. First walking in, there was no one at the register to greet or help us. We ended up standing around for at least 10 minutes until we were tended to. Looked like there was only 1 server who was also bussing and hosting, 2 chefs, and a mostly empty restaurant.. The chefs saw us and made no effort to let anyone know that we had been waiting to be seated.. We were just about to leave to another spot until the server noticed us, and now I REALLY WISH we had left. The eel we ordered was old and hard as a rock. All the uni nigiri was an odd, dark color.. And tasted like it had been sitting out for awhile at least.. A lot of what we ordered, especially the scallop and blue fin tuna, was VERY fishy and old.. If you know the difference between good, high quality fish, you'll know you won't find it here. If you take away anything from this review, please let it be: GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

When we order rolls and sushi at the same time, the restaurant seems to intentionally bring out the rolls first and delay serving the sushi. As a result, I had to wait a long time for my sushi. When we kept waiting, the server finally came over and asked if we still wanted the sushi. This is an AYCE sushi restaurant, and if they are going to charge extra for leftovers anyway, shouldn't they serve everything we ordered--whether rolls or sushi--without delaying one over the other?

I always order and love the fish and chips because it has all kinds of fish on the wonton chips rather than just tuna. But I feel $20 is a little high.

Disappointed, I asked for their closest option and was recommended the 8pc chef's choice sushi. What I got were two pieces each of the standard tuna, salmon, etc. I guess the chef's choice today was their cheapest, most common fish. It's sad to consider that they're using their omakase option to lure customers in during the slow days of the week. This limited availability wasn't on their website hosted menu. I was very excited for this place at first but unfortunately I don't think I'll be back.

One thing that stood out was how quickly the courses came out -- almost too quickly at times. It felt a little rushed and didn't really give enough time to fully enjoy or appreciate each piece before the next one arrived. At one point, we had 4-5 different things in front of us to eat. As for the sushi itself, some pieces were solid while others felt a bit average and not especially memorable. That said, for around a $100 omakase, I think the experience and quality were fair for the price point. You probably shouldn't expect ultra high-end, top-tier omakase quality at that range, but overall it was still enjoyable and worth trying at least once.

Once I tried their sushi for the first time, they quickly became one of my favorites in OC. They fly their fish in every Friday and you can literally taste the freshness. Over the times I've visited, I've tried basically the whole menu but a couple in particular are my favorites. I always start off with the Blue crab appetizer that's wrapped with salmon on the outside and asparagus. Their sushi rolls are all solid here--I can't recommend the signature Chubby roll enough. And if you're feeling adventurous, they even have Tuna bone marrow shots which are actually such a nice palate cleanser! And, of course, the star of the show is the Chubby sashimi platter. Each piece is thiccc and melts in your mouth and even comes with sweet shrimp and uni. This spot is genuinely a 10/10, so if you haven't tried it, like I said, you're definitely missing out!

We ordered the Chubby Sashimi ($65) to share between two people. The sashimi tasted fresh, but the sweet shrimp head was not deep fried enough so parts of the shell was not edible.

Overall, this place was not bad but not great.
