I wasn't very impressed with this place. I ordered the sushi roll with truffle, and while it came with shaved truffle, there wasn't enough of it to give the dish the rich truffle flavor I was expecting. It felt a bit skimpy on a premium ingredient.
The lobster roll was even more disappointing. The lobster was chewy and didn't taste particularly fresh.
Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype.

Yuzu is an absolute gem in Laguna Beach. From the moment you walk in, the space feels modern and inviting, and definitely one of those new hidden spots that instantly sets the tone for a great meal.
The sushi is outstanding. The nigiri and sashimi are incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared, and the special rolls are creative. The quality of the fish is amazing.
The cocktails are a highlight on their own, beautifully crafted and unique, especially the sake-based drinks.
Service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made the evening even better.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for fresh sushi and delicious rolls.

Yuzu sets the bar in South Orange County. They truly deliver on all levels. The menu is diverse and well laid out. All of the fish we tried was fresh and proper temperature. Their presentations are both functional and pretty. Service is friendly, efficient and not overbearing. We dined on Valentine's Day and although it was quite busy, they execute. Highly suggest Yuzu over any other sushi places around. I've tried just about all of them from San Clemente to Newport. This is our go to spot and can't wait to dine again soon.

5 star experience at Yuzu. Every single dish was uniquely curated and flavor profiles were out of this world. Could not recommend this place enough. Ask for Luke! He was the best waiter. Attentive, informational, and helpful. Two of our party were not big sushi people and enjoyed every bite.

Love this place. Their sushi is fresh, exotic and simply delicious. The ambiance is modern and the location is great. In a couple of visits we tried almost all their rolls and although they were all amazing, my favorite was millionaire roll. Can’t wait to go back!
