Daoni Sushi & Sake Bar

My friend took me here to have dinner and it did not disappoint! We were both craving sushi and this place really hit the spot. The staff were friendly, the menu was amazing, and the sushi tasted delicious.Parking is ample, but I can see it definitely getting crowded, so I would suggest avoiding busy hours. The restaurant is small, so arriving here early or later after lunch/dinner rushes would be ideal!

I've been here a couple times now and have had a good experience each time. Overall, I've felt that I've received a great value for the price in terms of quality/quantity. Additionally, the sushi is prepared so fast! I was there when it was busy this last time, and my first roll came out within 5 minutes of ordering.After this last visit, I've decided Daoni will be my go to sushi spot moving forward. It's cozy, cute and so, so satisfying.

When I visited this place, it wasn't busy at all, I was the only table there. I decided to give it a second chance after my first visit didn't meet my expectations. While this experience was slightly better, it still fell short in several areas.The fish in the sushi tasted super frozen, which took away from the overall flavor and texture. Additionally, the sushi rolls didn't hold their shape, making them very difficult to eat with chopsticks. The ginger was another disappointment, it had an odd taste and a strange color that made me hesitant!The restaurant was running a "buy one, get one 50% off" promotion, but when the bill came, I noticed I was charged full price. I brought this to their attention, and they corrected it, but it was an inconvenience nonetheless.Unfortunately, even with the discount, the quality just wasn't there. While I appreciate the effort, I don't think I'll be returning again anytime soon.

This has been a goto spot for me and it's not for the rolls. I get their nigiri and specific fish are super fresh. I recommend their Hamachi, Kurodai, Hamachi Toro, and Hamachi Jalapeño. I guess you could say that I like my Yellowtail. I am normally a big salmon fan, but their salmon is really bland and I noticed even with soy sauce it still doesn't really taste that great. Within that last few years I've really grown to like scallops, so I normally like trying them at every sushi spot that has them, but theirs are one of the ones that do not taste fresh. However, other than that, I would highly recommend giving them a try!

My husband and I were looking for a good Omakase sushi restaurant. And Yelp gave pretty good review on this place, so we gave it a try. The price for 8 pieces Omakase is only $32. The price was really good. And any roll you order is BOGO for 50%. So we ordered 2 "8 pieces Omakase" and 2 rolls. The Omakase was a disappointment. The pieces were just regular fishes, no Black Cod, no Cherry Salmon,... The quality of the fish was average only. They were kind of tasteless. In addition we also ordered a Caterpillar Roll and a Salmon Lover Roll. The rolls were not bad for the price. Service was great. The decor was minimalist. It's a good place for sushi roll, not so much for Omakase sushi.

I was craving sushi and saw the omakase options which intrigued me. My partner and I ordered the 12 piece sushi omakase for $42/pp. We enjoyed all the fish selections except for the cooked shrimp and halibut. I am not sure why you would include cooked shrimp because it's so basic. I would rather have another piece of fish. I am not sure if the halibut was supposed to be crunchy but the texture was a little strange and I wasn't a fan. I feel like the tamago and shrimp were filler pieces so you're really getting 10 pieces of substancial seafood. We also ordered an additional crunchy salmon roll which had crispy onions on top. We arrived an hour before closing so it was pretty empty on a Sunday night. The server was nice but I wish she told us what each piece of fish was. I had an idea but I am not really sure. It's not your typical Japanese omakase experience which checks out since I heard them speaking Korean but the fish was fresh and I was full. While nothing special stands out, I would still recommend giving them a try!

Seated quickly on a Friday night! Definitely a hidden gem in Orange. We got the tiger roll 10/10, Volcano baked roll 10/10, and Cheesy Dragon 8/10. Delicious sushi and music not too loud.

This place is great and the HH deals can't be beat. Food is fresh and there is plenty of parking. The service is also quick.

Solid spot with a lot of good deals (buy 1 get, get one 50% off rolls) Hirame, sushi 3pc $7.50; I like the yuzu, definitely worth it for the price Hamachi toro 2pc $8.50, solid, very goodScallop sushi 2pc $7.99, this was really a melt in your mouth feel. I recommendSpicy tuna hand roll $6.50; standard hand roll, muy bueno Pacific half dozen oysters $17.99, these were on the smaller side for pacific oysters which was good, but they were still too big for me. It was hard to eat, but still fresh if you're okay with the size. They didn't have the Kumamoto oysters today sadly. Albacore carpaccio $13.50Rainbow roll $14.99 + Summer roll $15.99; got this togo Saba sushi 3pc $6.00, not sure why I got this, I don't even really enjoy eating sabaDisclaimer: Free beer with Yelp review

Hidden Gem found in Orange next to Target called Daoni Sushi and Sake. I came here by chance not expecting much but I was quite surprised by the charm and ambience of this little restaurant. I ordered their Omakase sashimi plate full of assortment of fresh delicious fish of the day. It paired well with my uni masago and ankimo rice bowl. Just the perfect size for a nice lunch time treat. You will definitely enjoy their wide selection of premium rolls and savory dishes too. They were out of their famous Bluefin Toro but everything else here more than satisfied my hungry craving.Definitely had to taste the Famous Hamachi Kama and Aburi. So Good. So come today and try something fresh from the sea. You will be glad you did.
