TruSushi N Fish

1st time here... had the Tempura Udon Soup. Was very surprised with how much you got for a lunch special. Very good flavor and the tempura vegetables were crispy and hot. I'll definitely come here again. If I had anything some what negative to say, and it has nothing to do with the food. Our waitress could have been a little nicer, she didn't smile once and seemed like we were putting her out by asking her to fill our water and hot tea... the lady that cleaned our table and took our check was SUPER nice though...

Been coming here for few years straight, always tasted the same, delicious. Me and my buddies love Coming here. This is probably the only sushi spot I constantly go to and their prices are amazing, just know that they don’t except card payment for below $10

Typically I'd go on and on with specifics as to why I enjoy a place out at least why I have a specific rating but in this case I'll keep it pretty simple. They have THE BEST SUSHI! The baked salmon roll is my favorite but it had 15 different ones and they're all fantastic

I love this place. Usually here once a week for the last couple years. Albacore tataki, red dragon roll, and the chefs will make special orders. Also very reasonable.

Food was delicious and at a fair price with a nice welcoming environment. You can either dine inside the restaurant or out in their cooling patio. The workers are very nice, but there is a little bit of a struggle talking to them since some don't speak English well enough to have a conversation. However, that doesn't matter when all the workers will try to make you feel welcomed.

The sashimi is really tasty but the best part was the friendliness of the staff! Very sociable and attentive and they make great jokes. Eurie was especially nice, she deserves a massive raise!

Cute small hole in the wall sushi place! Delicious food and outstanding service! Best service of any sushi place in Lake Forest. Probably my new favorite sushi place in the city. It's wonderful to go to when it's not packed. The Salmon Sashimi was absolutely incredible!

Super delicious, great big portions, affordable and authentic. The folks running this are Japanese, super friendly and accommodating, and super quick and efficient too. Everything was delicious, we had the California spicy roll, king tiger, Philadelphia roll, and an eel dish. I will 100% be back to bring them business, this is now my go-to sushi restaurant in Irvine forever.

If you’re looking for your new favorite sushi spot—this is it. I’ve been coming to Tru Sushi N Fish for almost 2 years now, and it’s consistently amazing.

The space is cozy, stylish, and never feels rushed or overwhelming. And let’s talk about the people—Eurie and the whole staff are absolute gems. They’re friendly, welcoming, and genuinely make you feel like a regular from day one. Tru isn’t just a sushi restaurant—it’s a place you’ll want to keep coming back to. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or just discovering it, you’ll leave happy, full, and already planning your next visit. 🔥 10/10 highly recommend—don’t sleep on this spot!

Food was fantastic. The sea semi was very fresh. The teriyaki salmon was a little dry. The rice was also a bit dry, but the tempura and the eggrolls work good I had also ordered green mussels, but the waiter did not put them in when requested a good selection of sake is a parking great to walk and was not overly loud

This is one of my favorite sushi restaurants and have been coming here for years. Rolls are very well priced we typically get 3 roles and 2 miso’s for around $25. Pre-COVID it was packed and there would be a line out the door. However, I haven’t witnessed that in our new era. There is plenty of seating and they added a covered patio to extend their seating. The staff is always friendly, the restaurant is always clean, and they’re food is really good.

My absolute favorite sushi place!! Sushi is delicious and fresh - I’ve never had an order where I questioned how fresh their sushi is. I loved dining in but they’ve made their take-out service work well! Sapporo cans to-go! And hot sake too - we just put it in our own little sake holder and use our cups at home to make it feel a little more like it used to when we could dine in. Looking forward to everything opening for dine-in again!! Miss this great food, family, and staff!

Had a fantastic lunch here. Prices are quality are great - service is kind and attentive. Will be coming back!

I had tried several rolls, what I ordered had eel sauce and mayonnaise, so it appeared to be a little bit sweet. The waitress was very sweet too.

Our go to sushi place. The best sushi in town!!! Their nigiri is so fresh that it melts in your mouth.

Amazing service! The restaurant was very busy and was short staffs whenever we came, but our server Eurie did a excellent job. My friends and family enjoyed the half size sushi, sashimi, and rolls, so we can order variety dishes. This restaurant is a hidden gem, and our server Eurie is the reason we dine in. She is attentive and friendly. We will definitely come back.

The sushi is so good and the prices are amazing. Well worth the money. Can't wait to go back.

Had lunch with a friend. Great and fast service! Eurie was our waitress and she was so nice and helpful! Lovely experience.

Favorite sushi place!! Everything that we ordered was delicious. Great customer service, Eurie is so nice and funny.

Been coming here for 8 years consistently when me and my wife first started dating. Now we have 2 boys who we go with often they enjoy the food and the outside seating is nice. Placed a panda sticker outside 5 years ago and they still have it up lol good memories and food here they have chicken/beef rice bowls/plates as well so if someone you know doesn't like sushi they still got something to eat

Eurie is the best! She only works weekends! Mao the sushi expert makes the BEST ROLLS!!!! they made me feel so special! The food and care was top notch!!!!! Come see them!!!!

Their food is good. You have to ask them not to burn the meat sometimes. I guess it depends on the cook at the time. Their prices are very reasonable and I very much enjoy their crunchy roll. Honestly one of the better ones I have had. I wish there was a half option as I would give it a 3.5 and not a 4 but there is not, so I am giving the benefit of the doubt. But I still do not like taste of burnt chicken! Service can be really sketchy .. even if you are the only party in the room. Go figure

Excellent! I recommend this restaurant. Fine food, good portions and mostly friendly staff

Update: Prices seems to have gone up and quality seems to have gone down ☹️ Still a decent sushi place for a decent price. Love love love this place. My favorite sushi in the area for price, quality, and freshness. Good service except when they get crowded. I normally get a ton of their nigiri sushi.

Overall, the food was good, but they need to add dressing to the garden salad, so food would be 4.75 if that was an option. The portions and pricing were very good. The service was a bit slow, especially since there weren't many customers. The staff was friendly though.

Not bad at all. Small place, fish was fresh and portions were good sized. Price was lower than most. Had a new server, but all in all great sevice

Cute place. Food was wonderful🍣🍱. Extremely cheap plates that fill you up and taste great also. However, the bathroom 🚽💩 is horrid. The smell is unbearable. I’m sure there is a clogged sewer or something. 🤢🤮Wow that was so horrible.

I hope the manager takes the time to read my review. We visited TruSushi today, and the food was excellent and truly one of the best sushi spots in OC. However, the service from the young lady working there was overwhelming. While I appreciate her effort to serve us, she was at our table every couple of minutes, which became intrusive. It disrupted our ability to have a conversation and enjoy a peaceful meal. Some diners value a bit of space while they eat. I really hope this issue is addressed because, honestly, her overly attentive service is the main reason I’d hesitate to return.

I am giving this place three stars because of the price increase. It used to be to 50% off all items, but now their prices are just as expensive as other Japanese places. I understand that inflation has caused everything to go up, but was disappointed by my last (4 weeks ago) visit that prices were not longer the great deal they would bring my wife and I back. Aside from the price, the sushi rolls are decent. But the price made it taste even better.

Great prices, food quality and service just ok. I would still go back just for the value. $17 for 3 rolls and a beer. Happy hour is pretty much all day. Parking was a bit of a challenge. Busy area, a lot going on, good energy.

Normally a good place for some decent reasonably priced sushi, we used to dine in frequently. However, the customer service is not the best and has steadily declined. We have elected to do pick up instead because we are not subject to tip and deal with the mediocre service. Unfortunately, we were not informed that they now charge a mandatory 10% gratuity even with take out! I have been coming here for years and with their rising prices and unethical gratuity practices we will no longer be coming to this establishment. For the mere principle that they hide the surcharge on the receipt.

This used to be our favorite sushi place. It's not pretty, the service wasn't great but the prices were amazing but now they have doubled their prices. It's not worth it now. IF I wanted to pay twice as much I'd go to a nicer restaurant with more to offer.

Iam a doordash driver , on 17th may 2025 i came for door dash pickup an they said they got right now so its take time but they already mentioned in doordash that order is already handed to driver which leads to contract volitation of my dasher account so please don’t do that for any other person.

The older woman in their store asked for a place. Her attitude was really arrogant. She even told the clerk not to tell me. Speechless. God won't let your store go bankrupt.

This place is a total scam. Their photos do not match what they give you. It’s complete false advertising and isn’t even enough to feed our family.

. Service is pretty bad. Forget that there personality is lacking! While I'm eating, before closing, they bring the check and tell you to pay now! Then they come ten minutes prior to closing and say that they are closing at 10, pretty much hurry up and get out cause I have the money already!! This has happened twice. Two other times, the waitress ask me to tip them. Literally ask when I am paying bill. I gave this place several chances bad as of today , I will never eat at this place. I rather pay more then deal with this type of service.

Found the service unprofessional. My wife ordered food over the phone and went she went to pick it up she had a terrible experience. She was waiting inline to pick up her order when the cashier finished with the person in fron of her in line. The cashier then proceeded to ignore my wife and started helping the person after her in line. She felt completely disrespected and ignored. Needless to say we will not be going back to this sushi place. To the owners, you need to train your staff better in customer service.

AVOID this PLACE and do yourself a favor and go somewhere else! Upon arrival, the hostess yelled at us (literally screamed) to write our names down on the wait-list! We were going to sit at the bar which they had many empty seats. She was very rude and disrespectful to us. After a few minutes waiting, we saw a couple just walked in and sat at the bar. Then after a few minutes, we were allowed to go sit at the bar. Then she yelled at the sushi chef serving us (speaking Japanese) and the rest was just a terrible experience and attitude! The chef would not even take our orders; not sure how they prepared our sushi…??? Sushi is just okay and cheap but the service is TERRIBLE and they are just RUDE! Stay away from this place!!!

I'm the type of person that gives multiple chances to locations.. I fully understand that people have bad days. So this was about the 4th time I've tried this place. I had a wonderful first impression. The food was reasonably priced and the portions were amazing. Then the 2nd time I went.. I went to pick up my order and left my phone at my house. She wouldnt allow me to get my food unless I proved it was my food. I told her my full name, showed her my ID and still she wouldn't let me have my food unless I showed proof. It took 30 minutes longer to get my food because of this. The 3rd time the food was noticeably smaller than usual and the prices went up at the same time. I was charged a tip fee that I never aproved of. Then this 4th time.. I got the alert that my food was ready. I was 10 minutes late to pick it up. I gave her my name and she said to wait 10 MORE minutes... The register to my right said my name and the words "Ready". She deleted it. A minute later my name popped back up and said it was ready. It wasn't.. When it finally was, she asked me to show proof that the food was mine... I couldn't even open the transaction on my phone anymore because I left the app to go do something else. She mumbled annoyingly and gave me the food.. I won't ever waste my time or money here anymore. The portion size has gotten even smaller. My pocket sized wallet is next to my food for scale. $12 for food that is the same size as my hamster. Highly disappointed. I left irritated and went to a fast food restaurant nearby. I needed something to fill the void that this place left in my heart since all I craved all day was sushi. Highly disappointed and dissatisfied.

The sushi rice is all wrong, it taste more like Korean style rice. I understand the owners are Korean but they need to stick with authentic Japanese standards.
