Outstanding omakase experience in the US for sushi. The seafood and fish very fresh and presentation very good compared to what we experience in Japan during our annual stay there. Sitting at the counter provided nice conversation with our chef much like in Japan.

Hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had in the U.S. — and I’ve tried a lot! The fish is incredibly fresh, melt-in-your-mouth quality, and the presentation is stunning. You can really taste the difference. It honestly felt like I was back in Japan. If you’re a sushi lover, this place in Newport Beach is an absolute must. Pure perfection.

Ordered A LA Carte and everything was very fresh. Great flavors; the chefs allow the quality of their food to speak the loudest, and we were very impressed. We will be back to try the Omakase.

Wonderful Omakase experience! Chef was very skilled, friendly, and funny. They opened during Covid so it’s amazing they’re still here. But then with the chefs, the attentive staff, and the quality of ingredients explains it all. The dining experience it pretty close to private since the room is limited to about 25 guests. Reservations only. Def order their sakes….so good with the food.

Came for omakase. Was hesitant after reading some of the reviews. I’m a big fan of well done omakase. This place delivers. It’s clear to me the negative reviews don’t really get it. They’d be better off looking for a place with California rolls. Sushi ii is solid. Fresh fish from Japan, master sushi chefs, a great saki list, and attentive service. I will be going back!!

I have been here two times. Everything is good. I wonder what those one-star reviewers eat daily in the US. It was exciting to see if I could find a better place at this price range from their previous review, but it ended up being nothing

It is not often that you get the experience of dining at a sushi restaurant recommended by a Michelin star sushi chef. Tonight, I had the pleasure of dining at Sushi-ii, a relatively new, high-end sushi bar located in Newport Beach.
Sushi-ii is tucked away past residential areas of Newport Beach, which makes it a much more pleasant experience to find parking and enjoy the dining experience. The interior of the restaurant draws inspiration from a clean modern Japanese sushi bar, with about 10 seats at the main bar and 3 or 4 tables.
There are three main dining choices: Bizen, Oribe, and Karatsu. Tonight, I chose Karatsu, the nigiri omakase. This course advertises a starter, 12 nigiri, miso soup, and a dessert.
At the sushi bar, you are seated with place setting consisting of a hand towel, a napkin, and a pair of chopsticks. This particular style of chopstick is gaining in popularity, as they combine a clean splinter-free design, while also still being disposable and clean.
Right off the bat, we are served some tofu with dashi broth and egg yolk on top. This was a very soft but still surprisingly flavorful tofu, much better than any packaged tofu.
The nigiri I was served, in order, include:
Red Snapper
Amberjack
Bluefin Tuna
Spanish Mackerel
Sweet Shrimp
Baby Snapper (with sea kelp)
Hokkaido Uni
Salmon
Salmon Roe
Scallop
Yellowtail
Fatty Tuna (Toro)
Gizzard Shad
Eel (Unagi)
Egg Sushi (Tamago)
To finish off the night, a choice of dessert is presented. Panna cotta, tiramisu, or various ice cream flavors. I chose the panna cotta.
If you are ordering a nigiri omakase, the aspect that matters the most is the quality of the fish. And this restaurant delivered. Every single cut had the traits of a high quality fish flown in fresh from Japan, with their distinct and welcoming flavors.
The two notable nigiri of the night are the amaebi and unagi. What makes amaebi excellent to me is the sweet creaminess and soft flavors of the shrimp. This sweet shrimp was full of flavor and sweetness, and came served with the head, prepared to your preference. I selected tempura fried, and it was very well done — perfectly crispy, and full of flavor.
The unagi is something special, and I will be thinking about this for days to come. Taken out of its marinade when you are seated, the cut eel is set aside until it is ready to be served. At that time, it is cooked on a special cute small Japanese grill and it is grilled right then and there. No blow torch eel. Cooked over a grill in a very Japanese fashion. Then it is topped off with eel sauce, and the result is sublime. You get the jam packed flavor bomb of warm unagi, with the melt in your mouth butteriness of fresh eel. This piece is truly something sublime and was the most notable bite of the night.
I love finishing off dishes with tamago, and their egg is a no nonsense sushi. No rice, no seaweed, just a block of tamago chopped and served.
Some other highlights include the excellent japanese sencha green tea, and the care and attention of the waitresses explaining every element of the plated dishes.

We have been looking for authentic sushi places in Newport Beach. A friend of mine whose husband is Japanese highly recommends this place. From the price, you can tell it’s a high rank sushi place but we are happy to pay more if the food quality is justified.
I like places that you can make reservation online especially during Covid. They take deposit $50/person for dinner and so we decided to try their lunch first. If it’s good, we will go back for the omakase.
The patio seating is actually very nice. Service was good and quick. I ordered the sushi lunch set $60 and my husband ordered a la carte nigiris.
Green tea was from high quality green tea powder. The appetiser was very different. Miso soup was one of the best! And the nigiris were an absolute WOW! The toro maki roll was surprisingly outstanding! The salmon was best I have tried! The toro… OMG!!! The sea eel was very different! I loved the new sensation!! And the best for me was… the amaebi!!! $18/piece but it’s totally worth it! Best of the best!!! My husband liked the Saba so much (very traditional)! Everything was just so good!
The dessert – green tea red bean ice cream. A must try!!!
Without a doubt, the best sushi place in Newport Beach. Chef ii brings his years of experience from Osaka in each piece of nigiri that he serves. It’s totally worth the $!

Great sushi spot, high quality fresh food, great service. One of the best omakase in OC. We had the bizen which was plenty of food.

Pretty bad experience. I was taking my wife to this place for an anniversary this Thursday. Arrived around 7:30 and left around 8:50. Chef has no interaction with customer at all, and server cannot remember the name of sashimi in the plates server even chef told her in front of us. I guess that’s why this place charge mandatory service fee since no one will tip for this kind of service at a fine dinning place. Been to lots Japanese omakase restaurants, this one really disappointed me and not worth the price. There was only 3 group of guest and why you guys trying to kick people out quick? We ordered a whole bottle of sake and when all the food was served we still have half bottle left which makes us need to hurry and finish it. Not recommended and never gonna come to this place again. Train your employees better before charging high price.
