Sushi Bear

Food 12/10 Service 12/10 Quality 12/10 I've been to many many sushi spots in OC, and this is my favorite place. Looking forward to being back more

Sushi bear is a hidden gem that I highly recommend if your around the area The ambiance is super laid back with a lot of seats so that won't be an issue . The restaurant is located in a fairly large shopping center so parking shouldn't be an issue . The service is also on point . They were very helpful especially considering this was my girlfriends and mine first time trying this location but overall check them two thumbs up!

TLDR: solid 4.5 sushi it's on my rotation! Been doing this working out while fasted and I am usually hella starving around 1pm. Had to find some good and local sushi. Yelp to the rescueThis was def the best option as most were closing in 30 min and I wasn't about to be rushed to eat sushi. Arrived and walked in and I was the only person there. Loved having the attention of the sushi chefs all to myself. It was almost like omakase as they they served me whatever they thought I'd like. And I liked everything they set in front of me. My favorite was the halibut! Ofcourse a post workout beer for ya boy! Orion beer brings me back to Okinawa and the good times I had. Not just for the nostalgia but Beer for me is a great litmus test for good sushi. I can tell if the sushi is good or bad cuz the beer brings out this odd metallic flavor that crappy fish tends to have. The fish and sushi tasted amazing with the beer! On top of the amazing sushi the chefs behind the counter are awesome! They can chat your ear off.

Great quality of fish. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Overall, good quality, vibe, and service. I liked that it felt more like an old traditional Japanese restaurant.

the sushi is so yum!! and everything is so cute. but what makes this place special is the staff. Everyone who works here is so smiley and sunshine-y. it's a really nice place to have a meal :) Can't get over how cute the heart straw is

This was cute a spot we found. I loved the ambiance and the decor of the place. Felt like this place was more spacious than other sushi spots I've been to. The staff was friendly. We were greeted by the chefs at the sushi bar as we walked in. We arrived an hour after they opened and there weren't that many people. The service was quick. We ordered fried calamari which was nice and crispy but lacked flavor/seasoning. Letting it soak in the sauce they provided helped. We ordered the Aloha roll and Kiss of Fire roll. Both were delicious and refreshing. I enjoyed the Kiss of Fire roll most. The size of each piece was bigger than normal and I even had a difficult time fitting it all in my mouth. The Aloha roll was a little too salty for me, but I did really like how they added cilantro on top which is not something I normally see.

Not bad, not necessarily cheap. Friendly service and lots of space and parking. A warning: some rolls are very lemony (EPA) Personally I enjoyed it but it may not be your preference. Also really enjoyed the hand rollsFish quality is fresh

Pretty decent sushi in Tustin. I was in the area and I was craving sushi. There were a few AYCE option around, but it was lunchtime and I was not super hungry. I got here for lunch and there was no one around, which kind of got me a little concerned, but I was hungry and there were many good reviews, so I went in. We were seated promptly and our waiter was super attentive. I opted for the lunchtime bento. I got a little more pricier one that gave you 3 items (you can choose for each category). I opted for the salmon, gyoza and the salmon rolls. The box came with miso soup, rice and salad. The food came out pretty quickly. I will say for the price, there was tons of food that came out. I ended up eating the salmon roll while I was there and taking the rest as leftovers. The fish was also fresh, which was great. I would definitely come back here again. Maybe for dinner to try some sushi.

I highly recommend this spot if you're looking to add a new gem in your sushi restaurant rotation. The ambiance is great, music is chill, staff is really nice and the quality of food is amazing as well! We had their fresh sushi choices. You can't go wrong with any of them, the subtle flavors they add to the nigiri isn't overpowering which ensures you taste the actual flavors of the fresh fish they have! 10/10!

The owners are sooo kind and helpful. I can tell they genuinely care about their customers!The sushi is really fresh and the flavors are creative and tasty. Try the firecracker nigiri it was my personal favorite :)I love the music they play and the comfy Japanese style of the location!I definitely found my new favorite sushi place.Would definitely recommend 10/10!
