I visited this sushi restaurant for the first time after reading positive reviews, and I was eager to try it. When we arrived, the place was packed, but we quickly got on the waitlist and were seated shortly after. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the service was outstanding; they took our orders and brought the plates promptly. We ordered a seaweed salad, baked scallops, and three rolls: the Dragon, BSC, and Deep Dead Sea. While the presentation was nice, we found that all the dishes were quite sweet, as if sugar had been added. This was a unanimous sentiment among our group. Another aspect we didn't enjoy was that the eel and scallops were baked separately from the sushi. As a result, the sushi was served cold while the toppings were hot, which created an awkward combination. Overall, the service was fast, and the staff were pleasant, but the sushi itself was average compared to what I've experienced elsewhere, especially given the sweetness. I have definitely had better sushi without the added sugar.
Solid American style sushi spot (think rolls and not sit at the sushi bar for nigiri), with ample seating and good service, I would say it's one of the better ones in Laguna Niguel. It's pretty much always busy. It's reasonably priced and has a wide variety of non-sushi items as well. My kids love the salmon teriyaki bowl.
BEST SUSHI EVER!!❤️ I have been going here since they first opened in 2015 and I have never got over how exquisite it is here. I definitely recommend coming here even if it is just to try it once. It is a bit more expensive than other places but it is definitely well worth it. The quality is outstanding—exceptionally fresh fish, meticulous preparation, and beautifully balanced flavors that showcase real craftsmanship. The atmosphere is vibrant contemporary.
For those negative reviews I say please go elsewhere. We love the food, staff, prices and location. It can get loud and crowded but it’s a local favorite we are grateful to have. Even take away is good, although nothing is better than plating and table service.
Nice welcome at arrival. 5pm on a Thursday and the place was busy! Big menu, very reasonable prices. Host was friendly, server was nice and helpful. Water glasses kept full. Space is bright and inviting, food was delicious! Rolls were thick and full of fish.
