Nestled in an inconspicuous location, Wazen Sushi has emerged as a local favorite for its exceptional quality and authentic flavors. This charming mom-and-pop establishment, operated by a dedicated mother-son duo, serves impeccably fresh fish and traditional dishes, emphasizing simplicity over extravagant sauces. While the service can be a tad slow due to a minimal staff, the warm atmosphere and attentive service create a comfortable dining experience. Highlights include the melt-in-your-mouth chirashi and perfectly crispy tonkatsu. With reasonable prices and unique side offerings, Wazen Sushi is a must-visit for lovers of genuine Japanese cuisine.

The food service was extremely slow. It took over an hour and twenty minutes for my order of seven sushi rolls to be served. By the time the sushi finally arrived, the rice was falling apart, and despite ordering six of the same salmon roll, each one looked completely different. Additionally, the restaurant's cleanliness left much to be desired. I noticed that other customers were also waiting a long time for their orders. After waiting so long without any updates, I grew impatient and ultimately decided to cancel my order and leave. While some may not mind the wait when they want to relax, I found it frustrating to sit there hungry without receiving my food, and the quality of the sushi we eventually got was disappointing.

This is undoubtedly the best sushi in Orange County—offering the most authentic Japanese cuisine, top-quality sushi, and, most importantly, the best prices around.

I accidentally wandered into this place while waiting for my car at Pep boys. The food was great, the place was filled with regulars who all knew each other. The chef served tempura of veggies from her own garden. I need to go back there.
