SOTA — Restaurant in Newport Beach

Update: how is it possible to get better over the years? Well Sora Delivers! With the head sushi chef as always bringing the most amazing experience possible. Thank you for continued amazing service all these years later!!

Wow this sushi 🍣  spot has me both satisfied and still craving more!! Plan on making reservations or anticipate a bit of a wait during dinner hours as it will be packed. The options are fresh and flavourful!!

I highly encourage if you can to go OMAKASE and try what the chef plans for you. (Warning it will be pricey!!💰 Plan $200 - $300 depending on drinks) This will offer both variety and uniqueness to your meal.

I unfortunately didn’t get an apology or it taken off my bill either. I feel bad because the staff was really nice but Jesus it was one of the worst dining experiences I have had.

I gave 2 stars because my fiancés rolls were pretty good. Wish this was...

Located in Corona Del Mar this fusion inspired Japanese restaurant serves upscale sushi rolls and more. This visit came in during lunch time and ordered a Baja Roll $20 and miso soup $4. Flavors were good and then it goes downhill.

Server was in a rush to get our order in and made me feel uncomfortable the whole time I was eating. Felt like I was dinning at a fast food restaurant and when I was about to eat my last piece of sushi she comes over to try to clear my plate and it was very awkward and unprofessional without asking if I was finished. She insisted on me ordering more food and I said no and then comes back to the table again and insisted I order more. I’m about livid at this point. Was rushed to pay as well.

Overall experience was not great and felt angry that I dropped a fair amount of money on a meal that I really...
