Sushi Wave

Great AYCE spot! Good quality food, great service. And it won't break the bank. Definitely recommend.

Very solid sushi restaurant for the price. Service was friendly and helpful though a little slow. Definitely AVOID the tempura calamari as it was incredibly bland and like 75% deep fried batter 25% calamari. Otherwise the food was pretty good. Its COVID season at the moment but we plan to try the all you can eat if we ever get out of this quarantine restriction.

Am visiting from NYC, came last year in Nov & now again in Dec today and the food was just as good then and it is now - fresh Salmon & Tuna, excellent Salmon teriyaki, my friend loves the Fried Mackerel. The price for the food is unbeatable.

Took 45 min to get food and there was only 3 other groups in the restaurant

I really enjoy eating sushi here. So good and cheap.

One of the best sushi houses that I have been too. I always get the all-you-can-eat and it is worth it. The quality of the sushi is always fresh and they give you a good quantity

I ordered take out from here last night, so my rating does not apply to the staff or the cleanliness of their dining room, only the quality and value of the food. I live less than 5 minutes from sushi wave, so there is no excuse for the meal to have been that awful. I ordered a sampler of their specialty rolls as well as salmon and tuna nigiri, most of which ended up in the trash. The fish was dry and tasted old. Even their imitation crab was mostly just mayo. It was not high quality as the restaurant claims nor was it just a matter of personal taste. I was concerned about becoming ill. They are completely unjustified in changing as much as they do. It is significantly more expensive than some other local places and I regret ordering from sushi wave.

Amazing service the workers are very nice and the best place I ve been to that makes the all you can eat worth the money! Great food taste very great cooks! Shane s the MAN!!!!

They have an all you can eat option, which if you are a big sushi eater is the best otion.

Edamame was good! Sushi was decent... Came here because our airbnb was around the corner & it was within walking distance. Also, we went for AYCE & they no longer due it

Amazing service and great quality of food every time. Been coming here for the last couple years. Will keep coming back

Everything you can eat,lunch,dinner. We liked everything. Tasty,fast,not expensive

Decent all-you-can-eat sushi. For $10 more you can have EXCELLENT all-you-can-eat sushi at Okura.

My favorite all you can eat sushi place. Sad the price went up from $20 to $25 though.

A nice place for casual lunch or dinner with very nice cuts of fish on nigiri

Great food and service, like to get in on the lunch special!

Excellent as usual . Nice new look , and more room. For all you sake lovers , there is 5 or 6 new choices .

Love sushi, but this was the worst place taste wise that I have ever been to. The servers and chefs were very nice and quick just quality of fish/sauce was not to my liking.

Best sushi in town. Always fresh fish. Great, fun staff. Never a wait and ample parking!

Favorite spot. Always fresh. Been a patron of this place for 10 years, at least a visit a month (and sometimes weekly visits too!) Recently under new ownership. They've changed and improved a few things, but the menu is still the same, freshness is still the same, and they have even added some new stuff. While I've always loved this place, the service by the waitstaff under previous ownership did need some help, and sometimes there would be too manywaitsyagf which led to some arguing over whose tables are whose, etc. Not a pretty picture at times! The sushi chefs are the same so you can expect the same great skill and quality and so far the new waitstaff are really great!

Great hole in the wall sushi with decent prices and great service.

Great quality at a good price. Fish was fresh! My fiance and I did the ayce. We recommend the rainbow and the wasabi roll(available mon to thur). Sushi chefs were very friendly. Laid back comfortable setting.

The Ambiance and Decor of the place was nice, however the sushi was just average. And this comment is coming from my son who loves to eat sushi, and he was begging to go to a sushi place, during his break from college. And he truly was not thrilled!

Ate the All You Can Eat deal for Lunch. Nearly paid for itself after the second roll, by the third it was well worth it. Loved the Hero Albacore and Hawaiian Rolls and the Crispy Rice w/ Spicy Tuna. Little rundown, but food is worth it.

Best all you can eat sushi restaurant in Costa Mesa.

Friday afternoon, not busy and great food... Excellent service, and very fair price...!!!

EXCELLENT SUSHI! What a gem! Our son home on leave wanted to have sushi. I had always heard about Sushi Wave, but had never been. They have happy hour everyday from from 5pm to 7pm. Then they also have All You Can Eat Sushi for $24.95 as the dinner price. Less for lunch. You can also buy also carte. The sparkling saki was also excellent. We loved it and will be back. Worth the wait.

I came here the other night and got all you can eat for around $25. It's a fair price and the sushi is good quality. They also have a great selection of cut and hand rolls as well as weekly special rolls. Overall i would recommend Sushi Wave to anyone in the Costa Mesa area.

Good food, the food served was on the slower side but the wait staff was friendly.

This place is amazing and it s a AYCE ! How great is that! Sushi is so fresh and taste. The staff is so fast and friendly! The manager definitely knows how to run his business ! I love the salmon skin hand roll ! And best part they sell alcohol :) definitely recommend this place!

We have special A and special C at Sushi Wave, the food is very fresh, price is average. The owner seems know his customers very much and very friendly. They serve many different kinds of beer. The service is very friendly and parking are in front and rear very convenient. Will come back many times.

Great service. Really nice staff. But horrible stale sushi. Sushi is the opposite of fresh. I really wanted to give this place a good rating, however I just can't. If you like sushi, do not go here. There are much better options for AYCE sushi in OC.

Best sushi ever! My boyfriend and I drive from Anaheim at least once a week to eat! It's the best they have a variety of rolls!!! :)

you pay for what you eat its really really some great food (:

Great food, super friendly employees, consistently good character. They charge reasonable prices and the food quality is awesome. Keep it up.

Superb environment and very affable service. The meals were fresh and yummy. Will definitely recommend this place to others. Affordable prices and generous meals. Good job.

Sushi is good but they don't alot of variety they charged me 2$ for leaving 2 rolls I been to better places I dont recommend this place

Good service but this is not the sushi you are looking for. If you are visiting California and want good sushi this is not it. We ordered all you can eat and they are all dressed up California rolls. The gyoza came out cold then they More

Nice and cozy place to have sushi when in orange county. Prices are affordable and quality of product I love it !!

Excellent food. Really good service. Great atmosphere. Nice wine selections. This place is a favorite when I'm in this area.

Customer service was Excellent !! Yes, they are OPEN for DINE IN now as well with CDC Guidelines.

Food is always fresh and delicious and those happy hour prices are deadly! 8$ Sapporo pitcher?! Yes please!

Plenty of TV's offering entertainment. Service was great, quick and accurate. Edamame would have been better warm or salted. Overall, great experience.

All the rolls that we ordered were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Will definitely return!

Been coming here for years. They recently renovated & added new chefs who do a fantastic job. They almost have a power line up you could say making sushi. The prices are awesome & the sushi is delicious. Shane is doing an amazing job as the new owner!

The terriaki Salmon is very mushy. Very small rolls. Not a large variety on all-you-can-eat menu. You get what you pay for, so for the price it makes sense.

This little spot is seriously a hidden gem! My husband and I have a favorite place in riverside and this is now added to the faves! Their food is amazing, super fresh, and the service is wonderful! The restaurant is super clean and the music is nice and fun. I can't wait to come back!

A few years ago, it was real good. I came back and seems like they downgraded the food to offset the cost. It wasn't as good as I remembered. Compare it to other all you can eat places, i would still pick Sushi Wave over others. Nevertheless, $20 for all you can eat sushi is pretty good especially they make it once you placed the order. Not sushi sitting out like other places. Best bang for your buck.

Chef was great, fish very fresh, will go back again

Fantastic and fresh food, I like the ambience this place has, and the cashiers were very welcoming. I will surely visit here when I m around.

Visited here and I have to say, the food quality and pricing is amazing. Definetly the lunch prices and quantity of food that is served. The all you can eat seems like a great deal as well. The chicken katsu is a must try! Also the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing, love it. Would make a great date spot in the evening.

After a half hour of waiting after placing our order, the server comes back to tell me I've ordered "too many items" on my AYCE menu. They HADN'T EVEN STARTED MAKING ANYTHING YET. After coming here for nearly ten years, this absolute lack of service is the last straw. I won't be back.

Sushi is great, good experiance and no complaints at all from me.

Very small and cozy place to have ayse Sushi very Delicious and fresh Sushi we went for Lunch and it very economic and empty. Why I enjoy the prompt service and not overcrowded

Sushi rolls are made of ONLY rice. There is very little fish in any of it. All you can eat was $25, and they where so slow that the all you can eat 2 hour time limit would nearly run out before you eat all you can. If you are a frequent sushi eater, their Japanese food names are miss-used to the point of creating issues. Do not eat here.

My food was too salty and way too spicy. The service disrespectful and with an attitude. Will never go back.

What happen to the all you can eat?? And nowadays they don't have the same foods like they used to, guess it must be the pandemic of COVID19, hope they be back the old day soon.

Sushi Wave is a very good place for sushi! Everything about that spot I love!

All you can eat is good and fish is always fresh, but they tend to cut the sushi a little thin and add too much rice. (Added star for excellent service and caring reply from manager)

I am a first time. Nice and quiet, delicious. They have an all you can eat option with a nice menu. I will be back. Great service, I recommend them

Great rolls and great service! I am going to come back soon.

I love it. Great food, excellent service, friendly people

Food is pretty good and comes out pretty quick. I always come for the all you can eat sushi with friends and have a good time.

AYCE sushi was a treat. Be sure to find a partner. Great service, wasabi wasn't as fresh as I liked it to be.

Its really good sushi but only one sushi chef for so many people ... wait was to long for a roll ... 25 min wait. . Not good

It's fine but it didn't amaze me. Fresh quality ingredients. But fairly basic choices and preparations. It's AYCE all you can eat. You can bring a bottle of wine for just a $6 corkage fee. The jalapeno bomb is a whole raw jalapeno, so extremely spicy. The CJ roll had a citrus vinaigrette that I didn't care for. The crispy rice and tuna was great. The lobster roll was ok. I prefer the AYCE at the Triangle instead.
