A Cup Of Sushi - Irvine

H i d d e n g e m Hidden in the middle of some industrial buildings, this was an unassuming vendor in a group of 14 in a takeout center (meant for pickup/door dash/Uber eats etc. but hey plenty of parking! This was surprisingly decent. y a y e h h h Mini rainbow cup w greens (instead of rice w the onion chia dressing (which I only used a bit of was delicious but p salty , this was decently tasty and hit the spot for a quick sushi craving! The fish was fresh enough and though I feel it could be slightly fresher, I'd still get this again bc it wasn't bad. Super umami and fun to eat. Mini size was plenty for me to bridge between brunch and dinner! 4/5.Caterpillar cup w eel dressing which is a p sweet teriyaki flavor personally I thought the sauce was too sweet but otherwise woulda been good perhaps w a diff less sweet dressing. This one doesn't have sushi in it though so keep that in mind if that's what ur craving. 3.8/5. o v e r a l l We enjoyed it and look forward to coming again! Easy grab n go that's deliciously umami. Bonus: grassy area outside that was walkable for my pups while we waited! C:

After reading some reviews detailing the confusion they countered at the take out kiosk, I decided to be lazy and ordered A Cup of SUSHI via DoorDash. Easy peasy!We ordered the poke cup and mini rainbow cup and upgraded to combos. The fish used in the sushi cups were fresh and we got to pick the base (sushi white rice, mixed grain or salad) as well as the dressing. Besides the size difference between the regular and mini cups, the regular also came with a small salad served in its separate plastic tray sitting on top of the cup that must be removed prior to enjoying the actual sushi cup. The mini bowl could be enjoyed as is with the dressing we selected.Each combo comes with sides and azuki taiyaki. Our sides were a shrimp tempura, karaage chicken, kinpira gobo (burdock root), hijiki seaweed salad and a little bit of salad with small tomato. The taiyaki was packed to the max with red bean. Even though the fried food was lukewarm when it arrived, it still maintained quite a bit of the crunch, which was nice.We were a bit hesitant to order raw fish via DoorDash but we were pleasantly surprised by the freshness as well as the perfect packaging. Looks good, tastes good! Perfect for casual lunch dates at home and picnics! Thumbs up!

YUCK!!! We visited the Japan Fair at the OC Fairgrounds this weekend. This place had a booth and was one of the few places that did not have a long line. In fact there was no line...we just walked up to the window. We ordered a Rainbow cup and watched as a server grabbed the pre-made cup from a large plastic cooler like you would take camping. I thought this was a good sign as it appeared they were keeping the stuff cold prior to serving. WRONG. When I picked the cup up from the counter it was at room temperature and not even close to being cool let alone cold. Not good to store raw fish at the incorrect temperature. We found a place to sit and eat the food. It appeared to have a slice of shrimp, a few pieces of ahi, a few pieces of salmon on top of rice and some salad type ingredients. I always sample the raw fish before adding sauce to test the freshness of the fish. I was horrified at the fishy taste of the ahi. It was not remotely fresh and had obviously deteriorated, probably from the way the pre-made cups were stored prior to serving. The salmon was a bit better but still not real fresh. The fish went in the trash and we ate the rice. Try at your own risk. Oh, and the email address the business provided in the reply to this review is non-functional!

This place runs quite unique system. There's 6 restaurants share the kiosk and kitchen. I was here about 10 minutes before the opening. The kiosk did not show up the menu about the cup of shush but other restaurants did. This is very confusing for the first time customer here. When I was there, 4 people left due to complicate new system. It's new, fun and good food. This is a great idea after pandemic restaurants situation.

Interesting concept with surprisingly decent flavors and quality. I ordered delivery through DoorDash and the dishes came in the cutest packaging ever. They even have instructions on how to eat it on a card. I got the rainbow cup with Yuzu miso and the mini dragon combo with sriracha ponzu. The dressings are packaged separately. You open the lid and pour over the dressing and shake to mix the ingredients together. Both of the sushi cups were delicious. The dressings had just the right amount of flavor, not too light but also not overpowering. The combo comes with a fun assorted snack box. There were side salads, shrimp tempura, chicken karaage, egg roll, and a giant taiyaki. This place is more than just a fun concept. I enjoyed everything and will order again!
