Can’t say enough good things about this place! My wife is pregnant and needed fully cooked sushi but didn’t want anything from the baked menu, I called and talked to one of their staff members and they were so amazing and accommodating, went above and beyond and tailored something for her. When we went in to pick it up we were met with great hospitality and friendliness. The sushi, both her special order and the raw rolls I got were FANTASTIC. The presentation matched how great each roll tasted! Highly recommend!

More of a takeout spot but if you dine-in you’ll have a great experience. Note: Only sits 12 people, tops, with no reservations. No booze yet but we were told you can BYOB which is sweet. All the rolls and nigiri were superb. Service was stellar. Already feels local. The ramen was also incredible. Should be worked into everyone’s roto of restaurants.

Tiny place with delicious sushi. Staff is obviously busy during peak hours, but does their absolute best to serve guests. 5/5 will visit again next time I'm in Newport Beach
