Nana San — Restaurant in Newport Beach

Nana San is our favorite sushi restaurant in OC right now. Everything on the menu is fresh and well presented. We especially like that they have consistently had available toro, wild salmon, black and red snapper. The sea bass sashimi was a new one for us which I really enjoyed. Soft shell crab (crunchy) roll was also delicious and my daughter enjoyed it even after learning exactly what it was. Seaweed salad is also worth trying - simple but you can see their focus on quality in how fresh and bright the salad leaves are.

It’s hard to get a table here on the weekend but through diligently calling the day of, we have been able to come a couple times with minimal hassle. You just have to be willing to be “on call” for your table.

I hope they don’t change anything about this little restaurant. It has a small intimate feel, but still informal...

Went to this place on a Monday night and there was no line which was great. Servers were nice and attentive. Ordered the king salmon belly, regular salmon, spanish mackerel, golden snapper, sea bass, unagi, blue fin tuna, toro and a soft shell crab roll. Everything was delicious! Sushi was made well, the consistency of the rice was perfect and most importantly, the rice did not separate from the fish as you picked it up. Even the soft shell crab roll was amazing. The only thing I would order differently next time is I'd skip the king salmon belly as it tastes just like the regular salmon and I'd get the regular mackerel instead of the Spanish one which I believe is more tasty. We also tried the flan which Nana makes every morning and it was worth getting. So far, I find that this is the best sushi place in OC and I would...

Food: 3 Decor: 4 Service: 2

Came here with gf and a friend for dinner.

Roll combination, 20 Disappointing. 3 rolls, none of which were very good, and many pieces that fell apart.

Chicken karaage Delicious. Chicken wasn't too fried, and it was hot and crunchy.

Red Snapper Sashimi with Yuzu and Sea Salt Delicious. Sashimi was fresh and worked nicely with the yuzu and cucumber.

We ordered 3 starred sashimi dishes on the menu, but I can't remember the other two. The snapper sashimi above was the best one. Total was about $35 pp after t/t.

Service was horrible. We showed up at 7:15pm, were told the wait would be 45 min, and ended up not getting seated until 9pm. That's 105 instead of 45 min. After seating, we were ignored and didn't get our orders in until at least...
