R16. Fire Cracker Roll R12. Rainbow Roll
Leonardo H.

This place is perfect, owners are very kind and sweet. Service js amazing and they don't rush you and let you take your time on what to pick. The ambiance is very cool, a lot of thought and budget was spent on this beautiful place. As for the food, presentation is already immaculate and they don't rush taste is very delicious. Would come again with friends and family this place is great

Wtf
Trinnie W.

Sweet Boyfriend surprised me with an Uber eats delivery since I work from home. Only order from here if you are desperate for food and they are the only ones open... quality is terrible. Our beef terriyaki tasted super salty, texture of cardboard - why is it so hard to chew and thin at the same time? just overall gross. Reminded me of chiclet gum. You know when you've chewed the gum for hours and it turns insanely hard? Their California roll is also too salty? How do they even mess up a CALI ROLL? Their mayo to imitation crab ratio is way off. Sashimi = fish is NOT FRESH. I can tell by the stench and temperature of the fish... so disappointed. It was prepared poorly as the box seemed shaken up? There was black stuff on the tuna.

Lets see what they got !

Well , a lil late but here we go. First impression "cool cozy sushi place ". Well . Seems they cut their menu and combos, and they do not honor any coupons or anything from yelp. Once we ordered And sat down we notice , Very very dirty place , i was having second thoughts , dont even wanna see what the kitchen looks like?!?! Over all food was subpar edible but below standard, will nit be back , Note, they didn't even wipe down the table i had to do it and when i did the table changed from off white to napkin white , GROSS!!!!

Beef Bento Box Special

Horrible, cheap quality food! I came here with co-workers for lunch and was so disappointed. I had been here pre-COVID and it was not that bad. Not great but not bad so I didn't want to complain when my friends suggested it. First of all it is expensive!! I ordered a chicken teriyaki bento box for $13.00. Any meat upgrade, like salmon or other is an additional $5.00!!! The roll prices are outrageous. Anyhow we dined in and we got our food in styrofoam to go containers. I opened my box and could immediately tell the quality of the chicken was poor. I ate 2 of the 4 pieces of sushi out of fear of getting sick and I didn't touch the 4 pieces of California rolls crammed in a corner of a box filled with stale white rice. I threw most of the food away and left hungry. The owner of the restaurant is very nice but seemed shocked and upset when my friend asked for more tempura sauce. Do not waste your money here. Oh and many of the good review here are fake. Take a good look at the profiles of the good reviews. Or save yourself time and money and trust my review.

C2. Chow Mein and shrimp
M P.

Best sushi in Santa Ana ! I drive 45 min to eat there even though there's other sushi spots around , literally the cutest mom and pop shop ! My go to is shrimp chow mein , Definitely recommend 10/10 ! Golden tiger roll & baked crawfish roll are . Sweetest business owners you'll ever meet ! Great spot for a date !

Cajun Tuna Tataki
Benzer V.

The decor of the place really invited us into this realm of urban ambience similar to that of Shibuya, Japan. Service was excellent and informative in regards to requests as well as orders. My friend and I ordered the Garlic Edamame and Cajun Tuna Tataki both of which were delicious, the sauce was just right and so savory; excellent starters that didn't overwhelm our palates. In addition, we also ordered White Fish Roll and the Crispy Craw roll, both were amazing and satisfying. To top it off, the presentation was fantastic.

Cockroach infestation
Cristina A.

Wow. Unbelievable rudeness here. If you want to be nickel and dimed here over crap sushi make sure to stop by. This place is covered in mismatching crap filled with dust and probably hides roach nests. There's so much stuff everywhere that there's most likely covering rat droppings because there's no way to clean it all. This place has a dirty smell like the restaurant hasn't been cleaned since it opened. This person Johnny is also prejudice against handicapped people. Not only did he question my handicapped placard (which he took a picture of) his restaurant is absolutely no way handicap accessible. He threatened to report me, go ahead Johnny. Maybe you should welcome your guests and not have a chip on your shoulder because nobody wants your disgusting over priced sushi.

SC4. Sushi and Hand Roll Combo + SC1. Sushi Combo (Two Speciality Roll) R13. Albacore Delight Roll Special & R26. Tiger Roll .
Skylar V.

Yo! Sushi in Santa Ana is a hole in the wall diamond in the rough sushi joint. From the outside it can look intimidating with the signs and decor presenting as splattered signs, license plates, soccer advertisements and art pieces. This is what gives this place character! The prices here for the amount of sushi and fish cuts they give you can't be beat! I ordered the Two Hand Roll + 6 piece Sashimi ($12.95) that the sushi chef allowed me to customize but usually it's chef choice, but either way the portion size is worth it! My girlfriend ordered the two specialty roll combo that came with two rolls and a free soda. We split the rolls due to the size of them and that my girlfriend has a small stomach when it comes to sushi. We ordered the Albacore Delight Roll & the Tiger Roll that came with a free soda all for ($17.95). The rolls were MASSIVE and great portion size! The quality of the sushi was delicious! The plating of the sushi on the wooden boats were also quite elegant because it felt like you were ballin out getting sushi boats for individualized orders. The service we got from Ilene was top notch as well. She was welcoming, quick with our orders, great with maintaining refills, was nice to talk to, and offered suggestions. She was a great waitress that made this place even more of a 5 star experience. While the vibe is a hole in the wall type of establishment you can't go wrong here! The portion size is amazing for the price, the service is phenomenal, and the quality in taste is gold! We are definitely going to come back!

Chirashi
Kunous K.

Ordered a chirashi as usual... it looks good, but when I dig in I find a couple pieces of salmon and tuna only, the rest of bowl is spicy tuna melt, veg, sea weed, a piece of eel, oh, and there is a tempura shrimp too... so on the other word, there is not much variety of fish, everything is "roll" related. Service is good, and surprisingly they have TV showing the UEFA game... which give them an extra star...

First time I came we both got Spicy Miso but it wasn't very memorable. Also, first time we came it was packed as sardines inside it was almost like a rave. No literally, DJ and everything haha. It was at night and very dark inside, dimly lit. Also hungover first time here, and the loud music wasn't helping. You kinda want it to be chill when you're hungover you know? Everyone else was vibing though! It looked lit. Everybody was drinking. Second time we came, it was chill and in the daytime. No crowd. Service was pleasant and quick because it wasn't busy.

Most of my positive rating goes towards the staff that was doing the best they could. If you are on a time crunch, make sure to ask how long the wait is. The staff gave me the impression we could be seated right away but I had to still wait over 20mins given other reservations ahead of us. Easily a one hour plus wait on a busy day as there isn't a ton of seating. Where I took off majority of my rating was the ratio of price to meat. After tip and tax, we neared the $100 range for 2 people, and this was without any additional sides. We had the prime ribeye, pork, and salmon, all at 5oz and roughly in the 10 slices range per plate. Comes with standard veggies and a few bites of udon/vermicelli. The quality was fine, but I just feel like I could get more at this price range at other places for just about the same quality range. Not to mention the experience itself is quite bland and standard, without much ambiance. I don't think I would personally be back.

I thought the sushi rice was much too acidic. The lemon/vinegar flavor was strong enough that it overpowered the fish, which was especially noticeable in simpler rolls where the balance between the rice, fish, and nori really matters. Don't get me wrong as everything tasted very fresh, and you can definitely tell they're using high-quality ingredients. Its just how sushi was executed didnt live up to the quality of fish.. Mmm but then, Like, I was a little disappointed by the negihama. I usually expect the yellowtail and scallion to be chopped together so the scallion flavor blends into the fatty yellowtail and gives it that nice savory, umami quality. Here, the yellowtail and scallion were left more whole and simply rolled together. It was also made with the rice on the outside, which muted the flavor of the nori even more. With fish this fresh, I really wanted the preparation to let the ingredients shine. Service was average. Nothing particularly wrong with it, but nothing especially memorable either.

Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and gave great advice about which dishes to order and whether each would be enough for four. Everything was excellent. In particular we enjoyed the pork belly, the seafood cocktail, and the chicken skewers. We also had the Little Gem salad, the sourdough, and the bone marrow onigiri. We all agreed: "Not a bad bite in the bunch." The cocktails were creative and the wine selection was good, too. Music was good. It wasn't so loud that we couldn't talk. After dinner, they brought a scoop of matcha ice cream with a candle in it for me and there was enough for all of us to have a bite or two. The only drawback was that from my seat, I could see into the kitchen hallway, which wasn't very attractive. They need a noren to block the view. Minor detail, though, and I suppose that would probably make it more difficult to bring food through. Highly recommend.
