Can't Believe I Tried Opus Sushi So Late — What a Hidden Gem! ✨
It’s been a while since I had Japanese food this satisfying! We were just looking for a casual meal in Arcadia, but once the dishes started arriving, I instantly regretted not coming sooner. From the outside, the place looks unassuming — but the freshness, plating, and attention to detail speak volumes. You can feel the care in every dish. 🦞 Live Pacific Lobster Served still moving — truly fresh, hand-cut. The meat was firm, glossy, and cleanly sweet. One bite and I was speechless — so good! 🦪 Oyster with Uni & Ikura Oyster topped with uni and salmon roe — three of my favorite seafood in one bite! Sweet, briny, with bursts of ikura — layers on layers of flavor. 🦪 Cherry Stone Clams Plump, juicy, with a clean ocean taste. A squeeze of lemon was all they needed. 🍚 Toro & Uni Bowl Chutoro with uni wrapped in seaweed over warm rice — pure comfort and luxury in a bowl. 🍣 Deluxe Mix Sashimi A generous platter with thick, fresh cuts of various fish — so satisfying just to look at! 🐟 Chilean Sea Bass Tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth texture. Perfectly seasoned, expertly cooked — you’ll want seconds immediately. 🐟 Halibut Carpaccio Light, delicate, refreshing — great as a starter or palate cleanser. 🍣 Mexican Roll & Sunset Roll The Mexican roll has a nice kick and layered flavors. The Sunset roll is visually pretty and refreshing. ✨ Overall Impression My only thought after the meal: Why didn’t I come here sooner?! Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, cozy atmosphere — perfect for catching up with friends or a date night.
