Reviews
Who gets it?! I was wandering around Irvine and stumbled upon Kanji Sushi—it totally blew my mind about what an “all-you-can-eat” experience could be! The sashimi is so fresh it could make you tear up, the sushi rolls are stuffed so full of fillings they spill out, and all the hot dishes and snacks are on point too. The value for money is unbeatable!
Must-Try Highlights
• Ultra-fresh sashimi & nigiri sushi—salmon belly, geoduck, seared albacore—no duds at all!
• Cheesy baked mussels so delicious you’ll want to lick the plate, rich tonkotsu ramen that warms your stomach, tempura shrimp, unagi with sweet sauce, tobiko gunkan… The joy of unlimited refills? You absolutely have to savor it to the fullest!
Little Tips
• Cozy wooden-themed ambiance with super attentive service.
• Make sure to come on an empty stomach—it’s perfect for friend get-togethers or family dinners.
As shown in the photos, we only left a few pieces of sushi. We had ordered just one roll of each of these three flavors—not multiple portions. We simply didn’t finish them because they didn’t suit our taste.
We were warned twice, which made us feel very uncomfortable and even offended. Everyone has different preferences, and not finishing a dish doesn’t mean we wasted food or over-ordered on purpose. We hope the restaurant can be more flexible and respectful of customers’ tastes, rather than enforcing a strict “finish everything or it’s considered waste” rule.
We came in with a party of 12. It would have been nice to have us all sitting at one long table. Since the establishment has a long bench across the back wall, it was definitely doable. I had a frustrating discussion with one of the employees, presumably a manager, who was only willing to give us a maximum seating of eight people per table, meaning that we had eight people at one table and four people at another table. Not ideal for a party, but not the end of the world either.
Once we sat down, our server was very friendly and energetic The value for the AYCE menu was very good. Other than the seating arrangements, I have no complaints. Thanks for a great time!
Food comes out fast and fresh, with great service
