Sushi Shibucho - Costa Mesa

The best. I stopped for dinner for children and I discovered the best combination of aromen that melt in my mouth

Traditional sushi in an intimate setting, phenomenal food

I also want to recommend the Sushi Shibucho offerings for take out, now that dine in is again prohibited. I was delighted when Omakase was added to the take out menu. Fish is still superb. I cherished the opportunity when dine in was in place for a precious few weeks it was the one dine in situation where I felt completely safe because distancing, and also all other protocols, were scrupulously observed. The clientele gets some credit here all guests followed the rules. Now we 're back to take out, and this gem of a sushi restaurant deserves all the support that it can get. This is traditional sushi at its best. Fish is always outstandingly fresh. I suggest the Omakase (chef 's choice). The sushi chef will ask you about favorites and any dislikes, and adjust accordingly. Some already have a sauce and he 'll tell you no soy for those. Service is superb. If you are looking for rolls and/or quantity for low price, go elsewhere. If you want outstanding sushi impeccably presented, this is the place.

Authentic Japanese Sushi. Walk in the door and be prepared to learn a little about the culture. Be open minded and you will be delighted by the most delicious sushi. Let the sushi chef be your guide but don't hesitate to let him know what you don't like. Each piece has most of the flavor you need already. If the chef tells you to lightly dip the fish in soy sauce, obey. I knew what to expect when I walked in the door but many people are expecting your everyday sushi restaurant, this place is not that but in my opinion so very much better.

This is real sushi. I do not recommend for a person new to sushi. You may not recognize all of the names of the fish/rolls, but it's basically fish on top of sushi rice with some wasabi. Don't be scared of the wasabi. It's more flavorful than just heat. They are not trying to burn your tongue, but add to the experience of the fish. It's a small place with a very down to earth chef who is okay to explain and talk to you about the fish as long as he isn't too busy. Very, very good food.
