    One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The waitress was not just rude--she actually yelled profanities at me during the meal. Completely unprovoked and shockingly unprofessional. I was stunned. On top of that, the sushi was awful. The fish tasted old, the rice was dry, and the entire meal felt like something you'd get from a gas station, not a restaurant. When I brought it up (very calmly), I was met with attitude and disrespect instead of any attempt to make things right. This place is a joke. If you enjoy being cursed at while eating bad sushi, maybe you'll love it here. Otherwise, stay far away.

    Baked Salmon Roll after delivery
    Dr. Amelia H.

    As a door dash delivery, this review is simply the quality and flavor. Nicely made rolls with true sushi rice that stay together even after delivery and dipping into soy sauce. We had baked salmon, rainbow, and salmon nigiri. Slight fishy hint to flavor, and some chew to it but overall pretty fresh; compared to island sushi (Hawaii) we are used too. Salmon lacked some flavor but as a whole 4/5 rating, as it indeed hit the sushi spot.

    The sushi was excellent and came out quickly. We ordered the Laguna Beach and Crunch Roll--both were delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. We love this place--whether for takeout or dining in. Highly recommend!

    Little area outside that's dog friendly!
    Haley K.

    My boyfriend and I love coming here and I will explain the loss of star in a moment, but let's start with you should definitely still check this place out. There's a little outside spot that has a few tables that is dog friendly which we love! Also the food is really good and fresh. Service is very fast and they always get our order correct and are super friendly. I really like the spicy pork (I am normally not a pork person)! But it is the right amount of heat and flavor that is Kurt perfect with rice. The custom poki bowls are really great option with always fresh fish. Now the lack of one star comes from a few things. 1. Something about the tempura batter used I am just not a fan of and it leaves a strange taste on my palette. 2. The miso soup was strangely sweet almost like some sugar or something was added. 3. The price of some of the items is a bit high...but it's a sushi restaurant in a popular center in Irvine so that is to be expected. Overall though definitely come in a try a variety of their options!

    Good sushi place on the high end related to cost but you are in Irvine, everything is expensive. Great for lunch and walking distance from work for me.

    Shrimp Tempura
    Alisha S.

    I've been in this plaza many times but didn't know there was a sushi spot, but I'm so glad I discovered a new sushi place I can go to! My friend and I got the Red Dragon, shrimp tempura, and Laguna Beach. The laguna beach was definitely the best and I would 100% get it again. The red dragon was a 3/5 and shrimp tempura was really good. I'd definitely be back and would try another roll in place of the red dragon

    First time visiting and here are my takeaways: 1. You can sit anywhere you'd like after being acknowledged by the host. The host also stands behind the ordering counter as the restaurant doubles for take out and sit in. 2. Menu prices are a little bit pricey and I know this because when you look at basic items, they are overpriced. One portion of miso soup is $4, but I guess with todays inflated prices, you can consider it normal. This is the standard cup you'd get at other restaurants. The rolls, however, can be considered fair pricing for what they are. A huge bonus is that these rolls are thicker and will fill you up! They're delicious and fresh as well. 3. Sushi Taka uses a paper menu that you can mark for items of choice and quantity. I'd come here again for a hungry, craving sushi day. Go straight for the special unique rolls. Don't waste too much time on the basic items because you will get full very quickly (:

    We ordered takeout from Hako for dinner and I loved it! The food was delicious and the prices were…read morereasonable, and it was also high quality. I had to call in my order (they are on Doordash but the prices are lower if you call). It would be nice if you could order through their website, but it's not a big deal. We got shrimp tempura, chicken katsu with a side of curry, and an Alaskan roll. The food was all delicious! My daughter could not get enough of the Alaskan roll. It's simple and classic, especially if you love salmon. The chicken katsu was really good and I enjoyed dipping it in the curry. They don't offer potatoes or carrots in their curry sauce like some other Japanese restaurants do, which was a small disappointment, but I still really liked the curry. It had that "spicy" but not spicy flavor that comes from all the flavorful spices like ginger that are in the curry, but it wasn't hot (we ordered mild). The chicken katsu was a good portion side and it came with a side of rice and angel hair shredded cabbage. Cabbage isn't the most exciting vegetable, but I'll take it. The shrimp tempura was great too. The takeout bag was packaged really nicely and the katsu came in a fancy little box, so even though we were eating at home it felt a little more upscale. But the prices were pretty on par with other sushi restaurants around here, so it's definitely affordable!

    The food here is solid and the portions are extremely generous. Small place, but feels solidly cozy…read morewith extremely friendly staff. They serve their food in trays, which helps keep everything together. Also, love the chopsticks since they're nice and smooth so I won't fear getting splinters. I will say, if you come with friends and everyone wants curry, you only need to order a few curries on the side since the serving of curry they provide is... abundant. The cheese tonkotsu was honestly pretty heavy, lots lots of cheese. Honestly, I wouldn't get it again since I didn't feel like I got much meat simply because of how much cheese there was. I'm sure there was pork, it just felt like an extension of the breading. Every order off the main course section of the menu (fried things) come with miso soup, a side salad, and pickled side dishes that are extremely refreshing. Pork over Chicken for sure.

The sashimi style ponzu dishes come out quickly as do the salads, it expect a bit of a wait for the sushi, especially on a busy weekend. The sushi here is worth the wait. Each piece was fresh and perfectly presented.

    CUSTOMER SERVICE: 3/5. We had 6 pieces of sushi left for a party of 6 and the older lady server…read morecharged us for left over. I have never been charged left over before even if it was 10+ pieces at an AYCE. Mind you 4 of those pieces were in a pile of trash that we stacked and they gave us an extra 4 pieces that we didn't even order. I doubt every single table who left 1-2 pieces got charged so we felt like it was unfair. Mind you it was $2-3 per piece not eaten. FOOD: 3/5. The only fish that were worth getting and delicious were the salmon and yellowtail. The tuna tasted terrible and had a sour after taste and the fish to rice ratio was terrible. First round was worse than the second. The mussels were delicious though and the kids ate their udon so must've been good. Honorable mention for their miso soup too. Probably the best I've had but I was there for the fish, not their sides. PRICE: 4/5. $38 for adults and $20 for kids under 10. The price is affordable and cheaper than most AYCE spots especially because sashimi is included. BEWARE IF YOU LEAVE ANY PIECE OF SUSHI LEFTOVER. 4 adults + 2 kids under 10 + $15-20 for left over + 18% auto gratuity = $275 for our table. OVERALL: 3/5. Would I come back for $40? No. X-fish in Buena Park has way better quality and has never charged us even for leaving pieces behind. 18% AUTOMATIC GRATUITY BTW!

True to the name of this restaurant, the rolls are made fresh and in full view. I loved that they served the rolls fresh onto your plate and you eat as they make them allowing the temperature of the filling to be as fresh as possible and the texture of the seaweed wrap to be perfectly crispy. My favorite was the crab roll and the tempura roll. An additional thing that I really loved was that they had hooks available under the bar to hang your bag so it's not tangled in everyone that passed through or falling off the chair when you try to situate it behind you. Their truffle soy sauce and fresh wasabi was an insane combination but I'm definitely coming back to try all of the other flavors too.

    This is a proper hand roll place…read more Everything had a fresh taste, but the Uni was definitely not Santa Barbara Uni, so shame on our server for saying it was. The buttery, ocean-less taste that comes with SB uni was not there. Aside from that hiccup, all of our rolls were delicious. From their toro to their salmon, there is a good rice-to-fish distribution in the roll. Their Japanese beer options also hit the spot. All prices were also extremely reasonable for both food and drinks. Service was friendly, even for a late-night sitting, when we were among the last to be served before closing. In my opinion, this is better than KazuNori, the service and quality of the fish are both above theirs.
