San Shi Go Sushi & Omakase Newport Beach

Everything was great

Let’s make it simple: we travel from Las Vegas to Newport just for this restaurant. We first stumbled upon this place 4 years ago because it was the only restaurant open at 830 and it is an absolute gem. The food is out of this world and the service is exceptional. They even helped me propose two years at the restaurant and instantly recognized us when we went back this year.

5 out of 5 stars... Best service I have seen. Best sushi I ever had. Calamari was fresh and sauce was just right. Ademame was tasty. Right next to the beach and the main parking lot was very convenient. But back to the heartwarming welcome greeting at the door by full staff, all smiles and fun. Attentive and friendly service staff... What more can you possibly ask for. A hidden gem for sure.

The fantastic omakase and very attentive service made for an extremely enjoyable and delicious culinary experience. Highly recommended to celebrate a special occasion or just eat some fantastic sushi.

Top notch sushi in a cozy atmosphere! The presentation was just as delightful as the flavors.

A great omakase experience. Chefs here tend to do more appetizer dishes before they start serving sushi, and to me, that is what makes this place different from Ohshima. Attentive service. They are willing to work with you on splitting up sake into multiple portions. Omakase is on the pricier side but worth the experience

One of the most reasonably priced omakase options around town, although the price has increased since my first visit. Despite the change, considering the quality and variety of the food, it remains one of my top recommendations for omakase. There are two options available, and it's advisable to make a reservation, ensuring you're aware of your booking time as changes may not be possible afterward. The sashimi quality is excellent, but what stands out the most are the surprisingly good appetizers—each uniquely customized. I appreciate their balanced and diverse flavors; it's a delightful experience.
