About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for happy hour
  • Charming
Koisan Sushi is a Japanese restaurant that has offered creative, fresh, and authentic Japanese cuisine at the heart of orange for 40 years. Illuminated by Japanese style lanterns and the walls adorned with specialized craftsman woodwork, Koisan is a time machine to ancient Japan.

Koisan's dining experience can be approached one of two ways. Diners can request the dining room where the kitchen menus such as the Seafood Tokyo Udon Pasta, or the or Miso Black Cod Entrees are available; or request the sushi bar to order sushi and sashimi such as Toro (Bluefin Tuna Belly) or Tai (Sea Bream) a la carte with the help of our skilled chef Ken. The sushi bar is a coveted place for many regular customers, where beginners and pros are welcome alike. Koisan also offers a large selection of alcoholic beverages, specializing in Japanese Beer and Imported Sake - offered during Orange's best Happy Hour. Now offering $45 Omakase!

Note*: Sushi Bar seating does not grant access to Kitchen Entrees.

    We had reservations for 6 people and they took us in right away. Wasn’t busy at all. For the amount of food they provided, the value was great. I had the teishoku with sashimi. Tempura was fried perfectly and not oily. Always a treat to go when visiting California (Disneyland).

    Getting seated took awhile like 30-40 mins. But boy did they deliver with delicious food. Service very courteous in the end and apologized for the wait in the beginning.

    Terrible experience there. First time there (and last time)! Ambience: lighting and way room is broken up— all terrible Feng Shui. I ordered a cut roll that came swimming in something and way too much mayo in it. It was mush! Tried to send back after trying it, and they refused to take it off bill. We were incredulous. Fees for food are expensive to begin with. Service was spotty—too many tables for one server.

    This is probably the best Japanese food in Orange county. If you have not been here I would recommend giving it a try.
