Nagisa Restaurant

Nagisa is by far the best sushi in socal and possibly california. Ive been having the most amazing dinners with Yasu for 12 years plus. This unassuming place is a MUST! If you like authentic sushi just sit at the bar and everything is great from the snapper, to the toro and amaebi and uni. This is my favorite sushi restaurant

Small quaint sushi spot with authentic Japanese feel. Freshest fish. Best flavors and sake. One of the cleanest and most delicious omakase places in Cali.

So good!! Everything tasted so fresh. The Premium Salmon Roll was so delicate and the rice was perfectly sticky and cooked. The Ayumi Roll was fantastic. The crispy rice puffs perfectly topped it off. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Sorry, I wish I had the hindsight to take photos of the food as It came out but I was just mesmerized. The soft shell crab… I was speechless! My personal favorite was the charlotte roll (eel) omg! Amazing!! Service was courteous and prompt. Not to mention the sushi chef(I sat at the bar) was a treat to watch. Dinner and a show! A true artist. I don’t come to Newport area often but I shall make it a point to visit any time I’m here. Highly recommend :)

I don’t know how I overlooked this little gem all the years I have lived here. My mother made a reservation for my birthday (make sure you make one) and they made us feel like queens. I had an adorable card they made for me, and they were entirely too generous. Hands down the best tasting sushi I have ever had and the service was amazing. I will definitely be back!
