Hitting up some nice sushi place called Sushi Roku in Newport Beach (Orange County). It's a one of the nicer place for some delicious sushi. For food, I've got the following... Sushi (2pcs): Tuna Bluefin Salmon Yellowtail Cut rolls: Katana California Lets start with the sushi... Not too bad. I really liked it. Sooo good. I think Tuna Bluefin is the winner. That was delicious. For the rolls..... Katana rolls were sooo good. Very nice presentation... right on point. Very tasty. The best rolls at this restaurant. As for The California rolls.... not so much... I had better than that, but it was a nice try. Service was great.... no complaints so far. Overall... 4 stars for now.

Great Drinks

Just grab some lunch at Sushi Roku with a friend. This place never lets me down. The atmosphere was stylish and clearly well loved by the crowd. Service was solid as usual. Robert was great as a manager checking in on us. Of course will be back Sushi Roku has all the elements together in one location from the delicious fish to the great music and atmosphere to well trained servers providing a high-end experience at a high-end location. Although we got much more food, you could see in my other pictures, some of the things I've gotten in the past are still good! This time I just shared two of my favorites. Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Senshi Roll
Sydney H.

My bestie and I came here to celebrate her birthday and it was a nice time! The restaurant is beautiful, clean, and spacious - perfect vibe for a special occasion. The wait staff is really nice and attentive, checking on us often and making sure we had everything we needed. I made the reservation with the note that we were celebrating a birthday, and we got a cute little printed card which was a thoughtful touch. The ambiance and service are really great but I felt like the food could have been better. We shared the seared albacore, spicy tuna hanabi, and the senshi roll. The seared albacore had a yummy & tangy garlic ponzu which I enjoyed, but the spicy tuna hanabi was a little blander than I would have liked and the senshi roll was not very flavorful either. The meal was okay but not worth the prices, in my opinion. Though the meal was so-so, it was really nice to be given a birthday dessert on the house. We got some mochi ice cream and berries, and it came out to the table with a sparkler! So fun. Overall - nice atmosphere, friendly service, okay food. This isn't my first time here so I was a little disappointed, but it was an enjoyable dinner nonetheless. (Probably a 3.5/5, tbh.)

We are sitting outside on this beautiful Wednesday, 4/8/26 enjoying the cool breeze. I love their Brussels sprouts and they are gluten free! Our waitress is not exactly personable but the food is good! We got a new waiter with the shift change luckily!

Toro & Jalapeno Cut Roll
Lauren C.

What was ordered: Brussel Sprout Chips Hakata Ramen Salmon Nigiri Bluefin Tuna Nigiri *my favorite; super yummy* White Lotus Roll Toro Jalapeño Roll Our waiter was excellent. He was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Ambiance is really nice. I was most excited about the toro jalapeño roll, but that was actually the least appetizing for me. I would not order again. White lotus, salmon nigiri, and the Brussel sprout chips were all ok. The bluefin tuna and ramen were definitely my favorites. The ramen was so flavorful and the right amount of spicy without being too spicy - it was well balanced and so scrumptious! I also really enjoyed the bluefin tuna.

5 star ambiance and service. Great place for a date night with cool vibes and upbeat music. Our server was super friendly and sweet. Food is more of a 4. It was nicely presented and tasted decent, but not amazing. We liked the taste of the Brussel sprout chips but felt the quantity was really tiny because they were literally breaded and fried individual Brussel sprouts leaves. The White Lotus roll and soft shell crab cut roll were just ok. The Spicy Tuna crispy rice was very good with the mix of temperatures and textures We celebrated a birthday and they totally set us up with the most amazing cotton candy, ice cream, cheesecake dessert with a sparkler. Definitely a 5 star dessert!

Baked Cod with sweet miso glazed
Joy Y.

Sushi texture was on point, melted in your mouth. Baked cod was came steaming hot and also melted in your mouth. My husband thought the baked cod was most memorable. I highly enjoyed sushi experience and price is worth the experience!

Yellowtail

Service is amazing. Hostess and waitress were so kind! Sushi is yummy and fresh. I typically go to the one in Pasadena, but this one is good as well! A few items I feel like aren't as good at this location but overall it's still delicious.

Volcano Cake
Katarina O.

I am in complete shock that I have not left a review here before. I have been going here often for so so many years! It's a beautiful place to splurge every now and then. Great location in Fashion Island. My boyfriend and I had the 5-course Roku Izakaya Feast. For $78/person WOW was it worth it!!! Came with 2 starters, 2 carpaccios, 6 pieces of sushi, 2 rolls, and a dessert. Seriously still in awe. The sushi did not come with any salmon (my favorite) so I ordered some additionally- but last minute they switched one of the sushi's out with salmon (now having double). I was very appreciative of my server comp'ing the accidental additional salmon without asking!! Everything is delicious, but usually my favorite item is a spicy tuna crispy rice but the spicy tuna at Sushi Roku does not hit for me unfortunately, and I am not sure why. Hugh quality DJ, service, ambience, food, and prices. Overall it was a beautiful date night out!

Menu

Was seriously craving high-quality sushi, and Sushi Roku absolutely delivered. We came in on a Sunday for lunch and were seated immediately. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with both indoor and outdoor seating, we opted to sit outside to enjoy the great weather, which was the perfect choice. The cocktail menu was too tempting to pass up, and I'm so glad we ordered one. Our server recommended the Electric Koi, and it lived up to the hype - delicious and stunning. Food-wise, we started with edamame and the Serrano Hamachi appetizer, which was phenomenal. I honestly could've eaten three orders. For our main, we split the Deluxe Sushi Plate. The fish was incredibly fresh and the rice perfectly seasoned, absolute perfection. Between the great ambiance, fantastic service, and food that left me wanting more, this was an easy five-star experience. Already looking forward to my next visit and trying more from the menu!

Overall a fun sushi place in fashion island. We were promptly seated in their patio which is dog friendly. I had their udon which was very nice and tasty and we got an assortment of ther sushi all were very fresh and tasty. Place was buzzing on a Friday night. Dress code is business casual. The server was awesome.

8 Piece Gensai Roll 8 Piece Katana Roll 8 Piece White Lotus Roll
Victoria P.

One of my favorite sushi spots in Newport Beach. Genesis is by far the best server here! She provides white glove service and has the best recommendations. She was constantly coming by to clean off our table, and make sure we were taken care of. I brought my friend here as a first-timer and Genesis was super helpful, had the best vibe and was part of our experience at Sushi Roku. You really can't go wrong with any of the rolls. My favorite app is definitely the wrapped asparagus! You can easily make Reservations through opentable. There's a variety of outdoor, bar seating and indoor seating. Having a dj on a Friday night is always a plus too! Been going here for years and will continue coming!

Stopped by on my way to see the Newport Beach Christmas boat parade for dinner and was not disappointed. Located in the Fashion Island mall in Newport Beach, Sushi Roku is an upscale Japanese restaurant with club vibes in the evening with loud club music playing. May not be the best if you're wanting to have an actual conversation with your dinner partner. The food itself is quite good but not spectacular. We ordered a couple of items including * Margarita, Sunkiss mocktails * Spicy Cucumber Sunomono * Salmon Carpaccio * Full Hanabi - Yellowtail * Fluke Kumquat * Seabass Skewer * Nigiri Tuna Belly (Toro) * Nigiri Albacore (Shiro Maguro) * Nigiri Amberjack (Kanpachi) * Nigiri Amberjack (Kanpachi) * Nigiri Fluke (Hirame) * Nigiri Scallop - Whole (Hotate) * Nigiri Scallop - Whole (Hotate) * Nigiri Salmon (Sake) * Nigiri Sea Bream (Tai) The cucumber salad was nice and had a spicy punch to it. The salmon carpaccio was fresh with truffle slices on it that elevated the taste. The fluke kumquat was on the sweeter side with the kumquat and some sort of a jam on it, tasty but not my favorite. We ordered the hamachi on crispy rice, the rice was nicely toasted and crunchy and the slice of yellowtail paired well vs the typical tuna paste that you can find at other restaurants. The sushi pieces were also tasty and fresh though I wish the rice they used was warmer and sushi grade. Overall a decent dining experience but there are a ton of better sushi joints in the Orange County area that one can try that would be cheaper and better.

Awesome cocktails

There is a $79 Izakaya tasting option. Is it really for the entire menu including nigiri/sashimi or is it just for appetizers?

It's $79 per person and it's a 2 person minimum and they give you 2 hot appetizers, 2 sashimi appetizers, 6 pc of nigiri, 2 signature rolls and 1 dessert. All items are preset so you're not able to customize orders but you can always add on menu… Read more

I really enjoyed our date night at this sushi restaurant! Overall I felt like the sushi was…read morehigh-quality and had a lot of unique flavors that kept things fresh and exciting. You won't find your typical rainbow rolls at this restaurant (I do love a good rainbow roll though). The rolls we ordered were the Snowflake (which was flavored with yuzu), the Lobster roll (which was so much more than a typical baked lobster/langostino roll), and the Are You Kidding Me roll, which was big on truffle flavor and came topped with fried onions. I thoroughly enjoyed the Snowflake roll. It had multiple types of fish inside, and the yuzu flavor added the perfect fresh citrusy touch. It also came dotted with a tiny bit of sriracha (or some other spice) but it was just a hint and it's easy to wipe off if you don't want any spice. The Lobster roll was the star of the show. I give it a 10/10 for presentation, and it was also the best tasting one in my opinion. It was plated with a shelled lobster tail, which looks visually pleasing, but the most impressive part was right before serving, the waitress lit it on fire and handed it to us, as if it were flaming creme brulee or something. The flame actually wasn't on the roll itself, but was on what appeared to be a trail of salt (presumably soaked in some kind of alcohol to make it burn). It definitely was a cool effect and I've never seen anything like it in a sushi restaurant! Lastly, the Are You Kidding Me roll - this was my third favorite out of the three we ordered. It was pretty good but I think the truffle flavor was a bit strong. I'm also personally not a huge fan of fried onions on top of sushi since I think it clashes a bit with the freshness of the fish, and gives me too many bar food vibes. But it certainly was flavorful and my husband and I still finished it. We shared these three sushi rolls between the two of us and it was just the right amount of food to leave feeling full. Besides the food, the restaurant itself was nice although I'm not sure they really needed to have a live DJ there as opposed to having a Spotify Playlist. Didn't bother me but I don't think it really added much to the vibe. I would definitely eat here again!

Celebrated our anniversary !…read more Service was good and friendly. The flavors were beautiful! We sat like in the center of the restaurant. It's one of my fear LOL. But the flavors of the dishes eased my fear. It was delicious. I love salmon and uni when it comes to sushi and I would recommend others to try this place! Several people already saw my instagram post and asked the name of the restaurant! I'm very happy that the food turned out phenomenal! Toyko nacho (recommend) : it was messy to eat and had a kick of spice. I didn't mind the mess though. Lots of different flavors. Uni hotate yuzu: scallops topped with uni. Eating it was like butter. Sour flavor profile from the yuzu. A bit overpowering. And the maldon sea salt was interesting. So you get the texture of buttery soft from the scallop and uni and a crunch factor from the salt. 5pc Salmon nigiri: so fatty and buttery! If you love salmon then definitely get this. The presentation was so cute. It lays on a bed of ice. And throughout the dinner the pieces of salmon were chilled. Monster nigiri (recommend) : I don't think anything about this when my honey suggested order this. But once it got to the table and we ate it. Wow! This dish flavors stood out to me. The crispy sweet onions and sauce perfected the meal. Dragon: It was pretty tasty and decent. I know my honey liked it a lot. He prefers not to eat raw fish, so this was to his liking (I recommend to those who don't eat raw fish). Truffle essence (recommend) : The taste of truffle is weirdly addicting. The presentation was eye catching because the candle is keeping the truffle butter warm. The concept of dipping or pouring the truffle butter onto the roll was a fun way of eating. Snowflake roll: A lot of reviews mentioned this was a popular dish. I can see why it was popular. It's literally a bunch of fish in a roll! Haha, fish lover this would be perfect to order. Crunchy roll: It was a decent roll, but a bit dryer than I expected. Orders and ratings: Tokyo nacho 9/10. Uni hotate yuzu 10/10. 5pc Salmon nigiri 10/10. Monster 11/10. Dragon 8/10. Truffle essence 9/10. Snowflake roll 10/10. Crunchy roll 6/10. Thank you!

Today we went there not knowing of the change. The food is now certainly "all you can eat" quality. We opted against the all you can eat limited menu, and ordered of the regular menu but the quality was terrible: 1. The toro nigri was chewy, very thinly cut, with a very small piece of rice. 2. We could not tell the difference between regular salmon and the salmon belly nigri they brought us. It looked and tasted exactly the same. Definitely not fatty salmon belly. 3. The yellow tail belly was chewy. 4. All the fish in their nigri sushi were thinly cut with very little rice. Definitely all you can eat amount of fish. 5. The rolls were small and for some reason all tasted the same with little flavor. If you like all you can eat sushi places which always offer low quality fish, you might like this place. We will miss sushi Imari and the great quality sushi they served.

The Prime Skirt Steak looked appealing but was just average. It lacked flavor. What really left a bad impression was the issue with the seabass portions. My daughter arrived later & ordered the exact same Chilean Seabass dish, but her piece was literally about 1/3 the size of mine. We politely asked our server about the obvious difference. Eventually, a manager came out with a condescending tone insisting everything is weighed equally. The extra piece he brought out was basically the same small size as the first one my daughter received. At that point, the experience was already soured. We didn't even bother taking the extra piece or her leftovers home. Good cocktails & a few strong dishes, but the inconsistency & dismissive customer service would make us think twice about returning.

After pursuing some options in the Newport/Huntington Beach area, I decided to make 8:30 pm reservations for Starfish in Newport Beach! I have driven past this location so many times, and was excited to finally try it out! Upon entering, I was impressed by the moody interior with beautiful lighting and a gorgeous wooden door. The hostess was kind and quick to offer us a two-top bar style seating table that was close to the kitchen. We appreciated that we were sat so promptly, and we actually enjoy sitting close to the kitchen so we could see all of the deletable food options! We began our meal with two rolls as appetizers - the Buddha roll and the Sushi Nigiri Plate. The Buddha roll was a tofu-based vegan roll with a fun touch of toasted coconut flakes and two delicious sauces layered on top. Both my boyfriend and I loved the roll and would absolutely order it again. My boyfriend loved the sashimi plate and stated that the seafood was fresh and was higher in quality compared to your average sushi restaurant. Moving onto our main course, I ordered the Thai Green Vegetable Curry with coconut rice (which our server mentioned was different from the regular white rice because they cook it with coconut milk instead of water) and my boyfriend was craving another sushi roll, so he opted for the Shrimp Tempura Roll. The Shrimp Tempura Roll was pleasantly different from regular shrimp tempura rolls, because it contained crab meat and shrimp tempura. We noticed at this point, that all three of the sushi rolls that we ordered used rice paper instead of seaweed, and this unique twist to the sushi rolls enhanced them! I LOVED the presentation of the Thai Green Vegetable Curry. Something about a large stem of basil cascading over my food makes it extra fun to eat! In all seriousness, this was one of the best curry's I have had, and the coconut rice enhanced the entree. For our beverage selection, the cold sake that we hoped to try was out of stock, so we requested hot sake instead, which we sipped on through the meal. Pro Tip: the hot house sake was only $10 which is an amazing price point! Finally, it came to my favorite part of the meal, dessert! My boyfriend was leaning towards the Scratch Cheesecake, and I was leaning towards the Mango Pudding. We asked for our server for her recommendation, and she stated that the Banana in Fillo Dough or Scratch Cheesecake were her top two options. Based on this, we opted for the Scratch Cheesecake. It was good, but I probably wouldn't get it again. In my mind, I think of a cheesecake and immediately crave a thick slice of a classic New York style cheesecake. However, this was served in a glass with a graham cracker crumble as the base, and a cheesecake-style mousse layer above, with poached asian pears as a topping. While this wasn't my favorite part of the meal, it was still a fun twist on a classic dessert with a lovely presentation. Next time, I think I'll follow my heart and try the Mango Pudding. Between the food, ambiance, wonderful service, and elevated experience for an affordable price point, we will definitely return!
