We tried the lunch specials along with the Kobe beef steak. The steak was good, though naturally it couldn’t compare to what we’ve enjoyed in Kobe itself. Portions felt a bit small for the prices charged, but the quality and presentation of the food were definitely there.

I ordered salmon roll for to go and when I opened it, there’s very tiny 6 rolls which has only salmon and avocado. And the cost was $15. Feel like much expensive than New York. I will never go back. Very disappointed…

Worth every penny. We got one of the omakase menus and every bite was nothing short of the perfection. I don’t think an omakase or a sushi restaurant has ever had me leaving so full. All of their seafood is so fresh. Their wagyu fried rice is also the best I have ever had. It is very expensive to come here so I usually only go once a year.

3/6/26:
I would say this is our fourth time here. The food is very consistent with very high quality. The only drawback is a $45 for corkage fee. The most expensive corkage fee in Orange County the least. I dont mind a reasonable charge but this is very outrageous…
1. Sashimi deluxe: 5/5 – very fresh and very high quality. Every bite is sweet and tender, buttery.
2. Salad: 3/5 – delicious but needs abit more miso dressing.
3. Karaage: 3.5/5 – good but lacks of flavors and not crispy enough for my taste.
4. Seabass handroll: 5/5 – so yummy, light, tasty.
5. Spicy tuna: 5/5 – very delicious, balanced with flavors and taste.
6. Cod tempura: 5/5 – so delicious, the breading is light and crispy.
7. Trio desert: 3.5/6 – pretty good. The Macha cheesecake is very dense and hard, not creamy texture. The Lychee sorbet is very good with robust flavor. The Macha icecream is pretty good, not too bitter, pleasant Macha flavor and taste.
The service was great.

Tried this out. We made a reservation in advance so didn’t have to wait long. Took 20′ for a server to come greeting. The food and service were very slow and took long times. The server forgot to bring back a fried shrimp head… However, the food was delicious, fish was so fresh and very high quality, even the steamed rice. The pricing was very expensive, $12 for one small bite of wagyu … yike. Any way, highly recommend this place for sushi/sashimi novice! Perhaps for special occasions…

Chef’s Special Omakase
Price: $300–$500 per person (Pre-Order Only, Minimum 2 Guests)
If you’re searching for an unforgettable culinary journey, Otoro Irvine delivers an exceptional Omakase experience that stands out for its precision, creativity, and high-quality ingredients. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance is intimate and refined—perfect for a special night out, an anniversary, or an elevated culinary escape.
For those seeking the ultimate in luxury dining, the Chef’s Special Omakase is the crown jewel of Otoro’s offerings. At $300–$500 per person, this pre-ordered, curated experience is nothing short of spectacular.
Each course was thoughtfully crafted, blending traditional Japanese techniques with innovative, modern flair. The fish was incredibly fresh—melt-in-your-mouth toro, buttery uni, and flawlessly seared A5 wagyu were just the beginning. Every bite felt intentional, building in flavor, texture, and presentation as the evening progressed.
Highlighted Dishes from Chef’s Special:
• Toro Trio – Otoro, chutoro, and akami, served three ways (raw, seared, aged). A masterclass in tuna.
• Live Uni from Hokkaido – Presented in its shell with yuzu zest and fresh wasabi. Ocean-sweet, creamy perfection.
• A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Nigiri – Seared and topped with black truffle and caviar. Rich, tender, and luxurious.
• Scallop Carpaccio with Lime Foam – A delicate dance of citrus and umami.
• Foie Gras & Monkfish Liver Fusion – Paired with sake jelly—silky, rich, and surprisingly light.
• Abalone with Dashi Butter – Slow-poached and elegantly savory.
• Custom Dessert Course – A refreshing finish with yuzu sorbet and a black sesame matcha mochi cake.
And hot pot
Service was attentive yet unobtrusive—every dish was introduced with care, and the chef was clearly passionate about every creation. From the plating to the pacing, everything flowed with intention and grace. The staff made us feel taken care of without ever taking away from the focus: the food.
Otoro Irvine isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Whether you’re indulging in the $165 Nigiri Omakase, the $225 Standard Omakase, or going all-in with the Chef’s Special, you’ll find yourself immersed in an evening of culinary artistry and pure joy.
For those seeking top-tier Omakase in Orange County, Otoro Irvine is a hidden gem that delivers not just a meal—but a memory. Worth every penny for those who value quality, authenticity, and excellence at the highest level.
Rating: 11/10 – A flawless fusion of flavor, finesse, and feeling.

Make sure you call them up and make a reservation first before you go there for dinner. The wait is super long, I meant like 1h & 30 mins plus. The price is $22 and above for a dish, if I recall it correctly. But the food is super good. Especially the salmon, it just melts in your mouth. It’s totally worth the money. Oh, and the parking spaces are very compact, lots of cars in that plaza, so go early for a spot.

Goodness gracious. You are going to be hard pressed to find a better sushi option in the area. The tuna and hamachi and sake were amazing. The true winner was my favorite, the kinmedai. Everything else was fantastic including the clam dish. Will definitely return the next time I’m in the area.

Tbh I was a bit socked to see the prices but the food was really good. We ordered the less expensive things and the quality of the food impressed us. My favorite thing was the soft crab hand roll, uffff, soooo goood! We ordered sashimi a la carte, one of them was really chewy, they didn’t took it out of the bill but gave us a complementary creamy green tea ice cream. Restrooms, not as clean as I would expected for the place.
Make reservations (they don’t take same day reservation, has to be at least the day before)

Very, very good food. Chilean sea bass and lobster fried rice are amazing. The kobe steak is the best beef I’ve ever tasted. Hot pot with the A5 is really good. The 3 way oysters are fun way to try different preparations. Both salmon sashimi plates were fresh and high quality.
