Best Japanese Restaurants in Laguna Hills / Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

Fantastic from start to finish!! Loved it! Great place to celebrate a birthday, or anything for that matter!!

We have been going there for years. The food is really very good as well as the service. We love to cook and don't eat out a lot...Japanese is something I do not cook. They are really good food and good value.

Nobu is our favorite restaurant in Newport Beach. We are so spoiled with great restaurants but Nobu is consistently the best. Try the Dover with lemon caper sauce topped off with crispy spinach. It’s pricey but worth every bite. The yellowtail collar is so tender and delicious. Collars are a bit messy but the best part of the fish in my opinion. Another favorite is the lobster and shrimp spicy lemon salad( it’s not spicy), just amazing. I like the yellowtail appetizer as well. If you have room for dessert, their date cake is worthy and unique. We have tried almost the entire menu and have enjoyed all items. The more traditional rolls and sashimi are not as unique as other menu items on the menu but always tasty when you crave traditional food items. We prefer sitting upstairs( quieter) on the balcony watching the boats cruise by under the heat lamps if needed. Newport’s restaurant has a great location!

This was our first time dining here. Great experience! Our server, Joe, was very personable and took great care of us. The sashimi was extremely fresh, delicate and delicious. The rolls were equally delicious. Even the miso soup and edamame were the best. The entire experience was absolutely impressive.

Parker was awesome and the food was amazing and so fast
