Nice laid back environment. Too much Dana Point construction in progress. Happy hour deals are very good with plenty to eat.

This is our favorite sushi restaurant since moving down to San Clemente. Only bummer is it must be everyone else's favorite too because the wait can be long, reservations are highly recommended.

Amazing food and service, we ate here 3 times in a 4 day trip and had a totally different meal each time, but each time was amazing. The sushi and sashimi are prepared fast and beautifully crafted by the sushi chefs, who are all incredibly friendly and attentive. The food comes fast but you can enjoy it slowly. I love the hot towel service, plentiful edamame and cucumber salad that come with the meal. The crispy rice with spicy tuna is out of this world!
