    Food: 2.5 Service: 2 Comfort level: 0 Came here to meet friends for dinner. One of them loves AYCE sushi. I'm going to save ya'll some time. I would pick another place. I'm not sure why the service was so bad. Their attitude was indifferent. We had to ask multiple times for things and they also forgot to bring out items. I'm not sure if they're going out of business or need to save money, but it was ridiculously hot in there. The food was literally just blah. Lacks flavor, it was all found wanting and just subpar. Check out the photos.

    This is great local AYCE sushi. The service was so nice and friendly. The sushi and other sides all came out fast. The fish tasted fresh especially the salmon. The rolls were all good with decent rice to fish ratio. There are also a couple other special treats offered - halibut, sashimi in a martini glass, and fatty toro. All great. My favorites included the Jessica, Sexy, Hawaiian, and the crispy rice. We will be back.

    Great spot for all you can eat sushi, service is on point. They're very attentive and objective is a fast turn around time, it's not that they don't want you there. Give them a try, sushi is great quality and chefs are very quick!

    Man... I just came back for the all you can eat dinner and was blown away. Every single dish I had was absolutely delicious. Letecia was a superb server, easily one of the best I've ever had. Clean restaurant, fast service. 11/10 Thank you guys. Crispy rice and tuna - toro sashimi - crunch roll - baked crawfish roll - popcorn shrimp roll - tempaura hand roll - baked mussels - all of it was so good. I wouldn't change anything even if I was being really picky.

    Food and service is great. They recently went under new management and everything seems like it used to be and more.

    Love love this place. It's a hidden gem. My husband and I come here for the all you can eat menu for lunch. I love it. It's fresh. We got appetizers, baked rolls, tempura rolls, nigiri, special rolls, and rice rolls! Everything was super tasty and fresh!

    The Best Weeknight Value in Mission Viejo: My New Favorite Roll…read more We've been coming to Samurai Sushi for years, and while it wasn't always my absolute first choice for high-end sushi, it has recently become our regular staple. Between the convenience of being the closest spot to our house and finding a new "go-to" menu item, it's hard to beat for a local family dinner. The "5-Star" Discovery: The Baja Roll I usually rate the general quality here around a 4/5, but I recently asked the server for his recommendation, and he pointed me toward the Baja Roll. That roll is a game-changer--a total 5/5. It's officially my new favorite, and having a specific "crave-able" roll has made me want to visit much more often. Perfect for the Weekly Family Routine If you have kids who happen to request sushi once a week, this is the most logical spot in Mission Viejo. Their combination meal allows you to choose three items and includes miso soup and a salad. It's the perfect way to feed the family without a massive bill. We try to stick to Monday through Thursday for the Buy One, Get One 1/2 Off deal. It's a huge draw for locals, so the restaurant is usually packed and lively on weeknights. The staff here is excellent; they are incredibly welcoming and get to know your face quickly, which adds a nice neighborhood feel to every visit. The Verdict The only reason I'm knocking off one star is that the dining area is a bit dated. I'd love to see the space get a little more "TLC" with some updates and a deeper cleaning. However, if you are looking for a budget-friendly, local weeknight choice that is fast and friendly, Samurai Sushi is a winner. Just do yourself a favor and order the Baja Roll!

I initially reached out about reserving a table for 40+ people during a basketball tournament weekend and was told the manager would contact me back. Sure enough, she called promptly to confirm everything for our Saturday dinner reservation. The entire process was seamless and incredibly easy, especially considering this was a larger-than-normal party. Taizy handled everything professionally. She seamlessly added the extra guests without hesitation. Her only request was that we send over everyone's food orders ahead of time so the kitchen could prepare and ensure nobody had to wait too long. And wow -- they absolutely delivered. Every single order came out accurately and in a very timely fashion. No mistakes, no confusion, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. The servers were organized, attentive, and handled a very large group with ease. Service was truly 10/10. One of the reasons I chose Kin Sushi for a large group dinner was because the menu truly has something for everyone -- udon, sushi rolls, vegetarian rolls, bento boxes, chirashi, sashimi, and something for everyone. They even had Thai iced tea, which isn't normally something in you have in a Japanese restaurant. Parking was very easy, which is always appreciated when coordinating a large party, and there's a restroom conveniently located in the back. I'm beyond grateful for how well they handled our group, and I would absolutely return here again for future team dinners or large gatherings. Highly recommend!

The space is clean, welcoming, and comfortable, exactly what you want when you're stepping out for a quick but satisfying lunch. The food? Consistently delicious. The sashimi is fresh and clean, with that perfect melt-in-your-mouth quality. The chicken teriyaki is also very good, flavorful, tender, and generously portioned.

That said, I'm not complaining: as a sushi spot in America that caters to Western tastes, this place hits. Some of my favorite rolls are the Bella, the Mission Viejo, and the Seared Tuna roll. One minor area for improvement is to-go orders. They seem to get very busy, and there could be better predictability around wait times. The order processing for peak hours (6pm on a Saturday) was about an hour, but on my most recent visit, my pickup order was delayed by about 30 minutes, pushing it to 90 minutes. It was frustrating for me, but I think it can be even more frustrating for Door Dash drivers since they're paid per delivery and long, unexpected waits can throw off their entire queue and earnings for the night. I do want to commend their customer service, though. They have always been great dining in, but this time, they could tell people were frustrated and genuinely tried to reshuffle orders and adjust priorities. Overall, improving order flow and wait-time forecasting would make a noticeable difference!

The cucumber salad was plain and lacked dressing, the tempura was decent, and the soft shell crab was tasty with a small side salad with sesame dressing that was actually the best part. For mains, we had two bento boxes -- one with chicken teriyaki and baked mussels, and the other with mackerel shioyaki and fried shrimp. The miso soup was solid, but the salad could've used more dressing. Overall, the food was okay, but the poor service really hurt the experience. This was our second visit, and unfortunately, I think it might be our last. It feels like dine-in guests take a back seat to the takeout business here.

Off we went. Parking was easy in a large strip mall. No hostess here - you are greeted by the 2 sushi chefs upon walking in to sit wherever you'd like. The picture menu is easy to order off of. There are 2 big screens in the room. Tonight they were playing the World Baseball Classic. Women's restroom was clean - check! You get complimentary edamame upon being seated. Just 1 server handling all orders at the time we came in - a nice Korean lady, who at times seemed oblivious ie cleaning empty tables instead of giving us our check at the end of the meal when it was very apparent we were done. lol I looked for something on the menu that has unagi AND salmon but no dice so opted for dragon roll. My other half ordered #8 (forgot the name but it was good though I preferred my dragon roll more) but all in all our rolls came out delicious. Looking around, this place appears to be both a local spot and date spot from a few couples in the room. At the end of our meal our server brought us 2 pieces compliments of the chef, who said it was yellowtail. They have a stamp card that yields 10% after 5 meals and 20% off after 10 meals.

I'm usually not one to leave negative reviews, especially for Japanese…read morerestaurants, but I feel like they have potential to do better -- which is why I wanted to leave an honest review. FYI -- no photos because we were busy with a cranky toddler. First, the service was genuinely great. The sweetest lady helped us with the menu and served our food, and we really appreciated her kindness. We were also given complimentary edamame, which was thoughtful, although it was bland, dry, and cold -- almost like it had been sitting in the fridge for a while. Since it was complimentary, we didn't think too much of it. For the mains, we ordered the beef teriyaki and chicken teriyaki bento specials. Unfortunately, both proteins were sliced extremely thin. The chicken especially had a jerky-like texture, and both the chicken and beef lacked flavor. After reading other reviews, they had similar experience. The teriyaki sauce itself was also pretty bland. The tempura was okay, but the tempura dipping sauce tasted watered down and lacked the usual savory depth you'd expect. The one standout was the roll topped with salmon and avocado with spicy tuna inside. It was presented beautifully and tasted fresh and well-balanced. Based on this, I honestly think rolls are what they do best. I really hope they improve the preparation and seasoning of the chicken and beef because it was a major turnoff -- and this is coming from someone who eats pretty much everything. It's hard to justify paying around $22 for a bento when the main protein feels flavorless and insubstantial. With so many good Japanese resto in Lake Forest, I would skip this until the proteins are fixed.
