Cafe Sakana

Cafe Sakana is a true Gem in Orange County! Tucked away in the back of a sleek-fashionable plaza.. this Restaurant nails it on all levels! Service, Food and Atmosphere. I can't say enough about this Family owned Restaurant. The late owner Jay truly put his heart and soul into the Restaurant and the family carries out his Legacy! Mayumi, Roy and the Staff are quite pleasant and I am so looking forward to coming back again soon. I am a big fan of the Nigiri! My favorites were the Sea Bream, Blue Crab, Peppered Tuna, and Salmon Pesto. The Jay Roll was also a must. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed.

This is the best sushi in OC!! Super fresh, options for all pallets, and a beautiful atmosphere

It was a really nice and cozy little place, sushi was exquisite! Recommend treating yourself to a visit.

Cool hidden location on Westcliff Dr near my old business location was neat for me to see all the old stores I used to visit. Food was good prices are more than I prefer to pay but for the location being Newport Beach not to bad.

Fantastic, clean sushi and location. The service is amazing and a solid wonderful meal everytime. Love it here

Our new favorite Newport Sushi! Takeout is packaged so well and the sushi is SO delicious!!!!

Hands down amazing! Get the JAY roll. Great staff

The food was really delicious and fairly priced. It also had a nice outdoor seating area with some heaters. In addition, our server was super friendly and she totally made it more fun. 100% recommend this place if you're looking for a casual environment with some good Japanese food. You can also make a reservation! Vegetarian options: They had some really good vegetable tempura

Such a great little spot❤️ on Saturday night, the folks at Cafe Sakana were able to get us in very quickly without reservation. The food was out to us within 10 mins, despite them being at full capacity. Everything we tried was delicious; we had the Olivia Roll, Osaka roll, and a couple of appetizers… everything was so fresh and was prepared cleanly and beautifully! And the staff was all so kind and accommodating. They checked up on us multiple times to make sure we were comfortable, and thanked us for being patient while waiting for our table (even though we only waited for about 10 mins). We’ll definitely return to Cafe Sakana the next time we’re in town!!
