Best Japanese Restaurants in Corona del Mar

Had a horrible experience and Nobu Malibu, so I went here ready to criticize everything, and to my surprise, I had a LOVELY time. Wonderful food, service, ambience, everything. Highly recommend for date night. Beware, families do bring their screaming babies here, but other than that, loved the place.

Excellent in all ways. Small restaurant. Server was vey helpful in explaining dishes. Curry chicken, beef entree and bread pudding were excellent. Superior food dishes in freshness and flavor. One of Orange County’s best restaurants.

Chris was our person that prepared the meal. Great presentation and cooked the food with a flair and excellence of of a fine chef! Great service and attentiveness to detail of making the customer happy. Two thumbs up to Benihana’s.

I arranged a birthday lunch for my friend who drive down from LA. We sat at a lovely table on the deck overlooking the water and boats. We order the oysters with shallots which were chilled and delicious. Then we split two sushi rolls and the fish tacos (3 in a plate with black beans) . Our waitress was delightful and everyone from the hostess to the busboys were terrific! I think it was worth every penny and I’ll be back again and again. It’s a favorite of mine and I’ve been coming for over 40 years!! 🍣🐬😄💕

The food and service are amazing! The best part of our visits to Roku at Fashion Island is the welcome we receive from Juney the Manager. He makes one feel that he’s welcoming guests to his home with a warm greeting and a friendly chat. He’s always appreciative that we have come to Roku and makes one feel as if we’re part of his family. An amazing guy! His staff speak so highly of him and it’s clear that he’s created a great workplace environment to work. I recommend that when you’re in Newport Beach you visit Roku and see and taste for yourself!
