   Preslie is the sweetest, she always makes the experience so welcoming. Service is always great and food never disappoints. You have to try the hanabi spicy tuna and the white Lotus roll and of course, a lychee martini

   I’ve been here before and it was a great restaurant. The food was very tasty. Fashion Island was very busy for Mother’s Day, but the restaurant wasn’t too busy. I did $10 for ballet, which is nice to have as an option since it’s very close to the restaurant last time I came for dinner but now I came for lunch and everything was really good

   We enjoyed our sushi and generally have a good time. The restaurant was crowded and the noise level was high. We will come back

   We had a wonderful experience that’s to our amazing server, Nubia! She gave by far the best recommendations one could ask for, and more importantly, she was so knowledgeable about the food and allergies! Very kind and professional server, wonderful food, and upbeat ambiance! Highly recommend!

    We had high hopes for Sushi Roku Newport, but unfortunately, the experience was a complete disaster. The kids' chicken dish was a major letdown—it wasn’t crispy at all and had an odd, almost "washed-out" taste, like it had been run through a laundry machine. As for the sushi, the Crab and Bluefin rolls were completely flavorless, as if they had been prepped the day before and left to sit. Given the restaurant's reputation and pricing, we expected much fresher and more flavorful offerings. To top it all off, the loud so-called "music" only made things worse, adding to the unpleasant atmosphere rather than enhancing it. Service and ambiance aside, the food and noise level made this a truly regrettable dining experience.
