Yes, it lives up to such a high rating. We went boujee and nothing disappointed. Hamachi belly and tuna belly were both very good and amazing for the price. Hidden menu items were primo and the service was on par with $$$$ restaurants. Great attention to detail and felt cozy.

Come here for Sushi if you're looking for a great spot in the Normal Heights area. Bomb sushi. I recommend going for Chef's Special Rolls or their latest Omakase offering.
The fish quality at this place is great. Sashimi is definitely the move at SoCal Sushi. It's a tiny place, which we love, and service is pretty good. I have to dock a star for the roll choices though. We could not find any roll with a decent topper that didn't also have spicy tuna inside, seriously there are like 7 or 8 rolls like this out of maybe 12 available. Tough luck if you are a salmon or yellowtail lover. I get that this place specializes in tuna, but putting spicy tuna in everything is a bad look... We will continue to come back here for sashimi, but we would come more often if there was some diversification in the roll category.
Very good sushi place, very small but delicious worth the wait.
This place is legit!! Super friendly service and excellent quality food!
Service and atmosphere was great, however the portions and amount of fish in the rolls was not acceptable for the $$$
