I don't know if this is Jack's fusion sushi rebranded or if it's an entirely new restaurant with new owners, but we went there last night and had a great experience. The staff was very very nice. The drinks and food came quickly and it was good quality for the price! Would go back!

This place is so delicious!! My boyfriend and I went on a saturday for lunch and it was so quiet! Our server was the one who made our food and he was the sweetest ever! It's small but we all know the smallest places are the best! we will definitely be coming back again!

The food was very good, it felt homemade and the the three sushi rolls we ordered came in a nice presentation plate. The server was very attentive and the sushi chef gave big good bye after leaving. Definitely the vibe for a hole in the wall spot!

This place is by far our absolute favorite sushi restaurant in town. James and Jean are especially kind and provide the best service you can ask for. They are very welcoming and making sure everything is expected but better! The sushi rolls versus the price, you really can't beat the quality of fish you get and also getting the Chef's special rolls! James does an awesome job at creating new and tasty rolls like the Salmon Mango and Blue Fin Tuna roll - absolute fire! It is a smaller shop, and the decor is very subtle and peaceful! it is a smaller shop, which is nice because it feels more private and enjoyable!

All the sushi was so fresh, absolutely divine. Melt in your mouth tender across the board. Short of dunking my face on the ocean I can't picture anything fresher. No fish stink. No off putting textures. On top of that, friendly, genuine staff. You can tell this is a place built on some authentic love and pride in craftsmanship and service. Good people serving exceptional food. A high grade, artfully cut diamond that would be prized in any field, from the roughest to the best. Some of the best sushi I've ever had, by a long shot. Quality and presentation far and above the price point. Must visit. Must taste. Cannot recommend highly enough. Why isn't there an option for six stars? I want to give it six stars! And I want to go back to put more fish in my mouth!

Great service and food! Highly recommend this place for fresh fish and variety of sushi. Their appetizers are also great- popcorn chicken, edamame, gyoza.

We got the 3 roll special, and all 3 rolls were delicious, and completely worth it. Green tea ice cream is also amazing, with a big portion enough for 2 people. Don't overlook this place, definitely worth a try!

As a foodie, I'm always looking for new places to try, but I often fall into holding patterns in some areas, such as the 17th Street corridor in Costa Mesa. After hitting two usual spots (Shirley's Bagels for, you guessed it...) and Hi-Time Wine Cellars (clean bathrooms). A little search here on Yelp and studying the little maps, I realized this restaurant was close but just off the street. I lucked out and got one of two designated parking spots in front and walked in. It was before noon, and only one other table was sat, so I grabbed a spot easily. The server was a sweet lady who provided the proper aloof but not unaware style that promotes relaxation without ever having to flag her down. Green tea first, then my order. The chef is very deliberate in his movements, and I could tell that without peering over the counter, he's a stickler for detail and presentation. Sure enough, the platter came nicely arranged. Two cut rolls and nigiri sushi to get as wide as possible sample of their fish varieties. I especially enjoyed the Salmon Lemon roll with asparagus inside. The Hamachi was also really good, as was the salmon. I felt full enough for the planned wine tasting later that afternoon at Hi-Time Wine Cellars and drove down to Corona Del Mar to walk it off. I'll time my next trip for happy hour and get some Mussels!
