Oo Toro Sushi - Irvine

I dare to say one of the best sushi meals of my life with my first meal in Nobu NY in 1997. The house made soy sauce and fresh wasabi increase the experience. Really a world-class sushi cook, incredible fish and so on. Engawa and seered akamutsu (ruby Snapper) were ineffective. Yellowtail Kama Perfection. Etc etc. Do not hesitate to choose large whisky!

Food and presentation are all good... sushi boxes are good value. But on two occasions, I’ve waited a very long time for to-go and dining in. They need better operations as to alleviate the painfully slow kitchen and speedier service.

We ordered a premium Chirashi, a lunch combo, and yellowtail 3 kinds with a total of $105.14. The fish for premium Chirashi has really a good quality and melts in your mouth, and fish cuts are really thick. The sushi rice has one of the best flavors I ever tasted in Irvine. The lunch combo is really worth it because it’s comes with two items (we ordered ten don and blue crab hand roll). Though the price could be a little expensive, it’s definitely worth it because of the quality and flavors.

My son and I visited the restaurant based on a recommendation, and it was fantastic! We ordered rice, a variety of sushi, mixed tempura, and the OOtoro tower, all of which were delicious. Although we had to wait an hour due to the busy atmosphere, the staff was exceptional.

The quality of the fish was outstanding, and the oysters were exceptional. Frieder Reis was enjoyable as well—definitely a step up from an average sushi restaurant. Overall, it received a high rating. However, since I’m coming from the Inland Empire, the travel distance makes me prefer places like Ohshima, Ikko, or Sushi Bear. It's a great option for locals!
