Five Stars ⭐️ Restaurant!
While visiting California, we found out this place close to Dana Point. We were here for Lunch on a Monday 7/3/2023.
Literally out of this world. Best sushi I have ever had (considering restaurants in the same price range). We had 2 rice rolls, 1 salmon crispy rice and a no rice roll. In all of them, the fish was fresh, the color of the dishes with the combination of the ingredients was so inviting. And finally every bite was delicious.
Total bill was $84 considering 20% tip. Each roll is around $16-$18 with 8 pieces each.
If I ever go to California again, I will definitely come back. Probably will try more of the no rice rolls and nigiri which should be great with the fish so fresh.… more… View more

super super delicious food with really high quality fish and friendly service. their fish to rice ratio is amazing and the flavors in all their dishes are so so so good. i especially loved the tuna carpaccio, the fish quality was melt in your mouth with a light and refreshing sauce. the tuna crispy rice had the perfect texture, and were so savory and delicious. the mixed tempura is a very good portion and everything is friend perfectly. their baked mussels were also creamy and delicious. you really cant go wrong with anything here.

Lovely sushi place! We had a wonderful waiter, Keli, who gave us some excellent recommendations from the menu – including a juicy cut of Toro and some amazing no-rice rolls – and I love sushi rice! Flavorful unagi, too.
There is ample parking, indoor & outdoor seating, and a great list of fish on the menu. Everything was delicious, we’ll be going back soon!

Tasty food. Very good sushi rice, firm enough to stick together, tasty, and not too hard, not too soft. Raw fish piece is the largest size of what we have had. Tempura batter is also one of the best we have had. Draft beer Asahi is buy one get second one half price. Nice.

There’s a lot of other sushi places in the area, but none of them come close to the quality and service here at Dana Kai! The cleanliness and spaciousness of the dining area, warmth and family-like service of the waitresses, and freshness of the fish is unparalleled. The chefs really prepare each piece of sushi with great care using really high quality ingredients. You get unbeatable quality for a very reasonable price. High fish to rice ratio in the sushi, delicious unique salad dressing, and thinly coated, crispy tempura of the sweetest vegetables. Chef Daniel was a superb sushi master and prepared a beautiful plate. Nothing bad to say here.

My two kids love sushi and Dana Kai is a family favorite. The staff is always super friendly and the service is stellar. We love the specialty rolls and always get an order of Collar. The garlic edamame is amazing to start with.

The BEST SUSHI in Dana Point – and in the OC that I’ve ever had! I loved how you can taste the freshness of the fish with each bite. The flavors of each roll were so delicately balanced and well seasoned that I did not even need to dip each piece in the soy sauce on the side. Every order we tried was unique in its flavor profile and kept you wanting to take another bite. I like how they use a thin layer of rice with the rolls and were generous in their portions of the fish/other ingredients. I LOVED every single item we ordered and especially the Yellowtail Carpaccio and the Jeff Special no-rice roll. Their Matcha Ice Cream and Coppa Pistachio desserts were both wonderful and not too sweet! 10/10 would recommend! Visited once during lunch and during dinner and at both times the service was fast and the servers were so friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely keep coming back when I’m in the area.

I’m from New York but this place exceeded any sushi restaurants in NYC. My friend and I were welcomed with big smiles when we walked into the restaurant, all the food they recommended were superb. The chefs and servers were just top of top hospitality. When you are in the area, it’s worth checking out this restaurant. 100/10 recommended!

We just absolutely love this place.
The staff are super friendly and service is prompt. And Chef Juno-san never fails to blow us away.
All the fish we have ever had here is super fresh. And we have never had a dish we weren’t thrilled with.
In an area of South Orange County loaded with good sushi restaurants, Dana Kai has definitely become our go to Sushi restaurant.

Dana Kai is a go to for flavorful rolls! They have their “no rice rolls” which I highly recommend. The quality of their fish is great so having no rice allows you to appreciate it even more. It’s a chill vibe and service is always good. This is definitely one of my favorite sushi places in Dana Point!
