    4.5 stars. The bottom conveyor belt items are priced at $3.75 per plate, and there's a nice mix of items like nigiri, rolls, seaweed salad, and edamame. You can also place à la carte orders via the tablet. There's a maximum of 6 à la carte orders every 5 minutes...anytime when you place a tablet order (even if you just ordered one item), it will reset the clock that prevents you from placing anymore orders for 5 minutes so just be aware. Fried items like karaage chicken and ebi tempura are great with thin crust and delivered at the right temperature but they do take quite long to cook so maybe order those first when you sit down. I like this place a bit more than Waka Sakura by Irvine's Tokyo Central because there's actually food revolving around (Waka Sakura is not really Kaiten sushi because it's just a conveyor belt that delivers the ordered food to your table). However, Waka Sakura has more variety. Be careful when à la carte food items arrive at your table via top belt...we had the someone else's orders delivered to us twice during our lunch. Just press the button to send them back to the kitchen.

    Revolving sushi bar

    A decent place to get sushi and the revolving sushi bar experience. Food was much better that Kura Sushi, but not as good as a real sushi restaurant. Sushi selection is a little bit limited on the revolving bar, but there are extra stuff you can order such as salmon, cheek, hand, rolls, and other specialty rules. Prices were reasonable. My knock on the place is it gets pretty busy so the way can be long. They ran out of ice so we had room temp water and we had to use plastic ramekin for our soy sauce. Service was good.

    Soooo good!

    We had a great experience at Sushi Rev! LaLa was great! She was so welcoming, sweet, personable, and helpful! The sushi was sooooooo good. The salmon with onion and avocado was just heaven. We really enjoyed all of the food we got! The restaurant was very clean, organized, and had a nice layout. There was a good amount of seating and we went for lunch at 12:30pm and there was no crowd. There's lots of parking and lots of shops and treats nearby. We'll definitely be back!

    Good restaurants evolve to fit the tastes and desires of its customers. Sushi Rev is adding new items. They now have a chicken Yakitori which is very good. They are adding new hand rolls and other hot items. Great service, great food, and a very clean environment. Two pieces of the most delicious toro Tuna is only $5.75. Anywhere else, you will be paying twice as much.

    Tried this place for the first time, and I have to say...it was just okay. I personally don't think it lived up to all the hype I've seen on social media. The food was good overall, but I was a little disappointed with the sushi selection. There weren't as many options going around as I expected, and honestly, I felt like the options on the iPad menu looked better. The chicken karaage was pretty bland, and unfortunately the edamame was too. Both definitely needed a little more seasoning and flavor. Service, though, was great! We didn't have to wait long to be seated, and our server was really nice and friendly. One thing that surprised me was how small the restaurant actually is! Social media definitely made it look way bigger . It seems better suited for smaller groups because most of the tables looked like they could comfortably seat around 4 people. So if you're coming with a big group, just keep that in mind! All in all, it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't somewhere that completely wowed me. I'd probably come back eventually, just not anytime soon. Glad I finally got to try it though! Thanks for the meal!

    I love the concept of revolving sushi so decide to check out sushi rev. Its a good slightly elevated revolving sushi restaurant. Majority of the order comes from the ipad on the table. My favorite part were their scallops, they had a good soft bite. I stuck with their basic nigiris as I didn't taste a difference between premium options with truffle oil etc. Had a minimalist/ modern ambiance and vibes which was nice.

    I really like conveyor belt sushi! Don't come extra hungry because you would want to grab everything from the belt! All the plates on the conveyor belt is $3.75 a plate. There's also a tablet where you can order and it will come straight from the kitchen! We went around 4:30pm and were able to beat the dinner rush and did not have to wait for a table! I definitely prefer this place over kura!

    Empty revolving sushi at dinner time.

    We tried this place based on the reviews, but the food was just OK. The biggest letdown was the wait. The conveyor belts were empty most of the time, so we sat around waiting for food. The truffle-topped salmon and tuna looked unappetizing and went around untouched. Options on the belt were limited, and you have to order from the iPad to get anything decent. If I have to order on an iPad anyway, what's the point of going to a revolving sushi place? The appeal is grabbing good items quickly and skipping the wait. For this price and area, there are better options.

    toro handroll
    Viv N.

    MY FAVORITE REVOLVING SUSHI IN OC!! Definitely a step up from kura revolving sushi! They're smaller than I thought so makes sense why the wait is long. Super fresh fish, affordable prices, and quality reminds me of x-fish! They have plenty more dishes you can order on the ipad, including appetizers, sashimi, sushi rolls, and izakaya. Those items are either sent straight to you via the conveyor belt or robot delivery. Favorites: garlic salmon, truffle salmon, butter shrimp, toro handroll TIP: join the yelp waitlist 1 hour beforehand

    We went to a similar place in Hawaii and really enjoyed it so we came here for dinner our first night in town. We got there a bit early for dinner on a week night and was given a choice of tables. There's plates on the revolving belt that you can get items from - they count the plates for the cost. You can also order rolls and other hot items off the iPad and it gets delivered to your table above the revolving belt. I felt the items on the revolving belt was a bit lacking and they look unappetizing. Some items toppled over. The items we ordered off the iPad was superior to the items off the belt. The rolls and chicken karaage were tastier and higher quality. Service was pretty good. For high end sushi or raw fish I wouldn't come here. Located in a large mall complex - a lot of parking.

    Yuzu tuna

    Good fish sizes despite the rice to fish ratio being ok. They actually have pretty unique flavors for example for the Unagi it's a strawberry Unagi so a piece of a strawberry compote on top. The carpaccio plates are also pretty good flavorful. For the ginger slices on the side they're actually pretty big and not as minced. This conveyor belt, sushi place think of it almost like an elevated version of your typical sushi conveyor belt at Kura. It can get busy during dinner time on weekends but still a reasonable wait time as long as you check in first. You basically can get one of the plates along the sushi conveyor belt for $3.75 or order on the iPad at the table for even more expensive plates that range from around average $5 to $10

    I usually love coming here because it's nearby, affordable, and good quality I came by here for dinner on a Tuesday. Did the online waitlist and was seating around 15/20 minutes. My usual go-tos are the yuzu tuna, truffle yellowtail, and seared salmon. I grabbed the tuna and yellowtail off the conveyor belt and first bite I had noticed the quality went down from my previous visits. I saw the seared salmon and it looked like it was out for a while so I decided to just order off the tablet. This fixed the issue for me. The fish was coming out fresh again do I just continued to do that. The rice potion did get significant larger than before.

    Got here 4:30pm before the dinner crowd already 1/3 full. Service is fast. Seated me immediately Inside is clean modern and designed with efficiency Water brought to me. Soy sauce and wasabi already at table I couldn't figure out how to open the lids of the plates on conveyer belt. Ask waitress. U pull the plate horizontal out and triggers the lids to open. Don't push or open the lid open, doesn't work. The food was fresh. More options on table tablet. A small tray to shoot to you and ask u to push its button when u got your order. Will come again

    When is it the least busy when it opens? 1 o'clock other options?

    We don’t have a guaranteed “least busy” time since it really varies day‑to‑day, but weekends (especially evenings) are usually our busiest. If you’re planning a visit, you can always join our Yelp Waitlist on the day of your visit to help cut down… 

    Can you take walk ins for parties of 8?

    Yes we can!

    What is the typical price point for a party of two?

    Hi Craig It all depends how hungry you are :) For a party pf 2 I've paid around $70 and for a party of 3 around $120. Hope this helps :) and enjoy!

    Does it have meat sushi version ? Like how in Kura has some

    They have cooked meat like karaage (chicken nuggets) and shrimp tempura and cooked fish collar, but you need to order from the tablet at your individual table, it's not on the rotating conveyor. They cook to order and bring to your table direct

    To be honest, up until the exact moment we sat down, we actually had no idea that Waka Sakura was a…read moreconveyor belt sushi spot. For us, just how bright and modern it looks was enough to pique our curiosity, so, it was definitely unexpected to almost immediately see a "train" shoot right past us. Not that we minded, as conveyor belt sushi spots are a bit of a guilty pleasure, but it also didn't hurt that the food we saw go by us from the kitchen looked great! While conveyor belt sushi spots (somewhat deservedly) aren't known for having high quality sushi, Waka Sakura isn't like most of the ones I've been to. For one, it looks a whole lot nicer, but also, they don't have a loop that circles their sushi around endlessly. Instead, you order through your table's tablet and it gets delivered via "trains" on said belt, so it's more made-to-order. What's more, both the quality of their sushi and their menu are pretty impressive, as they have a wide variety of sashimi, nigiri, rolls, cooked items, sides, and salads to choose from. Plus, it goes beyond just the basics, too, with offerings like wagyu nigiri, clam miso soup, and mehikari karaage. -- CHAWANMUSHI Not quite as loaded as I would've liked, but still better than others I've had. While it may have been a little light on seafood, the custard was silky smooth. -- SPICY GARLIC EDAMAME So much better than regular edamame! I loved the spicy garlic on this and how well the edamame was cooked (still had just a slight bite). -- SALMON SKIN HAND ROLL This was pretty straightforward, but no less impressive! The hand roll was fairly packed and the salmon skin itself was equally crispy and oh so tasty. -- SPICY TUNA HAND ROLL I'm not big on spicy tuna, but this wasn't too shabby. The tuna wasn't overly mashed up and you could actually taste it, instead of just getting a mouthful of spice. -- TAKOYAKI Pretty standard, but not necessarily in a bad way. Although the pieces of octopus weren't very big, they weren't tiny either and I liked how the dough was crispy on the outside yet not too wet/soggy on the inside. -- FRIED SALMON BELLY I was worried when I saw "fried", but this was delicious! Each piece of salmon was meaty, moist, and just slightly fatty. Plus, it wasn't at all greasy. So good! -- SEARED SCALLOP NIGIRI WITH TERIYAKI Of all of the nigiri we had, my gf enjoyed this one the most. The teriyaki sauce added a nice sweetness that contrasted nicely against the slight char on the scallop. -- WAGYU BEEF TRIO - Teriyaki, Onion Mayo, Salt Sauce I don't often get wagyu sushi, but this was terrific! All three types were juicy and flavorful, but I liked the Onion Mayo the best with the Salt Sauce a close second. -- SALMON PARTY COMBO - Fresh Salmon, With Salmon Roe, Onion Mayo, Seared, Teriyaki, Spicy Mayo My favorite of all of the nigiri combos we had. Across every type (half were raw, half were seared), the cuts were all thick and flavorful, but I especially liked the Seared, Onion Mayo, and the one with Roe. -- SCALLOP LOVERS COMBO - Fresh Scallop, Seared, Teriyaki, Spicy Mayo I love scallops, so all of these were great, but I actually thought the plain one was the best followed by the seared one. Regardless, each of the cuts were fresh, sweet, and decently meaty. -- TUNA (BLUEFIN) LOVERS COMBO - Medium Fatty, Fresh Tuna, Seared Tuna, Tuna Tataki This may have been a last second add, but it was no less delicious! All four pieces were awesome, but I loved the Chutoro (medium fatty) and the tataki the most. In addition to how much we enjoyed everything we had, the thing that surprised us most was how reasonable Waka Sakura's prices felt for what you get. While the quality you'd get at a legit sushi restaurant is still likely to be better, what you get here is nothing to scoff at, as it's better than your average, generic neighborhood spot, let alone lesser conveyor belt joints, like Kura Revolving Sushi. Plus, their sushi rice is so good! Flavorful and cooked really well. Although conveyor belt sushi joints are undoubtedly just as much of a novelty as they are sushi restaurants, it's awesome how you can get the best of both worlds at Waka Sakura. On top of all of that, the line for a table here isn't nearly as long as at the likes of Kura. I just hope the masses don't find out, though some would be okay just to make sure this place sticks around!

    Stopped by on a weekday for the lunch special. Waka Sakura has always been one of the pricier sushi…read morespots in the area, but the quality is decent, so I wanted to see if the lunch deal held up. The traditional sushi lunch is $14.99, which is a very good deal for Irvine. The nigiri was the best part, I enjoyed it! The miso soup was a bit bland and the salad had too much dressing on it. I'd come back for the lunch special. The regular menu is still on the pricier side.

The broth was super clean and light, but still flavorful enough that it didn't taste bland at all. There was also a decent amount of clams, which I appreciated because sometimes seafood udon can feel a little stingy.

Definitely one of those bowls that tastes simple in the best way. I'd absolutely order this again, especially if I wanted something warm and satisfying without feeling too heavy afterward.

I love every udon bowl I get, no matter the broth, but my favorite is definitely the curry udon. I love that you can add so many different toppings to your bowl, and the noodles are always cooked perfectly, never too soft and never too firm. If you're like me and tend to eat a lot, there are also different sizes to choose from, so sometimes I'll go for the larger bowl. You can truly customize your bowl to however you like which is great! If you've never been to Marugame, it's a little different from a traditional sit-down restaurant. You go through the line, tell the employees what you want and then choose your toppings, so your food is ready almost immediately. I'll usually stop here before going shopping, so I love how convenient it is while still receiving excellent customer service. The staff is always super quick about cleaning tables, and I think the inside is super cute and modern. You definitely have to try Marugame if you're an udon lover like me!
