Best sushi in OC. Almost all of the sushi chefs have been there for years. Almost no staff turnover. Even the servers have been there forever. That speaks volumes. And you can’t beat the location at Crystal Cove. What a special place.

The star of the show was the sauces --- umami but subtle, fresh and perfectly complemented the flavor profile of each of their proteins.
