Buddha’s Favorite - Newport Beach

I was sitting here for a birthday dinner. Service was great and we sat pretty fast. But I'll say the sushi was just fine. I could say the quality was good, but the flavor combinations of the reels just didn't work. With the exception of a role we had, the taste of an element seemed to exaggerate the rest. I wanted to enjoy all the elements of sushi, but still only try coconut for example. It was sushi that tried too hard. Great location and views.

Great location, and generally delicious food. It is always packed and popular, so book. The crispy rice roll was a great start, but that was the purpose of our experience (photo). Have several visits here, but this last time we were less satisfied. At the beginning, on a great disappointment: the design beer is no longer available. During our 90m experience, the staff seemed more novice and was slow. The caterpillar roller seemed somewhat less fresh and much more fishy than usual. We didn't finish everything and they didn't ask if we liked it or wanted to take the rest. In fact, nothing on the table has ever been cleaned. Maybe it was a bad Friday night or it can be time for our inner Buddha to find a new favorite.

That was the best sushi I ever had. Please go and get the Jamie weep (left) it was delicious.

Was extremely disappointed for our anniversary dinner. Was sitting at the worst possible table and received terrible service. A very bad experience. Great to hear that the 19-year-olds fawn over the amazing Californian reels while drinking their beers.

One of the better sushi restaurants I?ve had on the West Coast. Prices were a bit expensive, but the food tasted fresh. The close proximity to the water creates a pleasant overall eating experience.
