We went here on Monday night and the place is not too crowded. Our waitress was very attentive and we are pretty satisfied with the service. The food is reasonably priced (for a Japanese restaurant) and tasted great. We ordered bento box dinner. The salad was pretty good too. I can’t wait to try their other dishes next time. The restaurant is not too hard to find and during dinner it has dim lighting but the atmosphere is pretty chill.

3/5 (Saturday), that day is so cold due to the wind and close to the water. It was a perfect day to go have hot pot, but the wait is a little long since we have a party of 9. We are starving and can’t wait, we left and went a few doors down and ended up here. We got seated right away. Overall, the foodisgood and fresh. The service is okay, we have to ask for refill tea a few times and they also forgot one of the orders.

Went on a family vacation and wanted to try some sushi. Boy, this place was amazing, a hidden gem for sure!!!! My kids usually ate the California rolls in our hometown. We had about 4 rolls of fresh and tempura types, and my kids actually ate all of them!!! The kastu chicken was delicious. My favorite is definitely the pork belly!!! The waitresses were super sweet and gave my kids learning chopsticks. My son was practicing on everything. Really enjoyed our time. We will definitely come back next time we pass thur town!

If you’re a white person with mediocre taste in Japanese cuisine, this is the place for you. The sushi is not only made with poor craftsmanship, but with smallest morsels of fish I’ve ever seen. The non-sushi items were akin to buying a cheap microwave meal at the grocery store (the latter being arguably better).The menu is cluttered and features around 5 different types of sushi that they serve (most of which served with cucumber chunks instead of rice, disgusting). Customer service is severely lacking, as there are only two waiters running around trying to remember everyone’s orders while leaving tables and seats tacky and sticky (again, disgusting). As if a restaurant could get any worse, Ahi Ahi also manages to steal your money by overcharging you for the miniscule serving sizes of their dishes.

This is my favorite place to get sushi in Lake Forest. I ordered the sashimi plate (I think 10 piece?) plus two of the tuna belly. It was all very fresh, and nicely presented. It may be one of the best sashimi plates I have gotten in the USA. Service is a tiny bit slow but the entire place has a relaxed atmosphere. My husband got Udon with chicken, it was so big he couldn’t finish it, but I think it would make a great item to share between two or more people. This is definitely a surprise for the area which can be hard to find good food in.

My new go to sushi restaurant for South OC. No set omakase menu, so the chef dishes up whatever he feels like. That’s how it should be in my opinion. The fish is very high quality and reasonably priced. I could tell that everyone at the bar were regulars, and they just added two more to that list.

The sushi is very good. The prices are good as well so as the service. What was not good is a sushi chef inappropriate behavior. He was asking me what parfume I’m wearing or what do I do he thought I was a model. All that right in front of my husband or when he went to the bathroom. Your chefs are an embarrassment. We not going to be back.

We loved it! Great sushi and customer service. Their rolls are very heavy on the spicy tuna which we don’t like so I got a bunch of individual pieces and they were great.
