O Fine Japanese Cuisine

Food O Fine's selection of sushi is abundant with delicious gems that do not disappoint. We ordered the Yuzu Bloom and fell head over heels for this drink. The floral liquer mixed with the Yuzu sake was both refreshing and a perfect start to our meal. We started with the Baked Lobster Roll which came with a beautiful presentation of the lobster tail they used to create the rolls on the side. The roll itself was rich with savory decadence from the lobster itself that was wonderfully complemented with the roll underneath. The side of mushrooms that is served with it is no throwaway side either. When paired with the roll, the mushrooms marry incredibly well to the slight sweetness of the lobster. We then moved on to the crispy lobster roll which we assumed would be similar to the baked lobster roll. Not so! It was surprising how the crispy texture truly transformed the experience. The juxtaposition between the crunchy lobster with the soft roll underneath created a truly enjoyable texture experience in the mouth. Not to mention the delicious flavor the lobster provides on its own. We closed our meal with the premium chirashi bowl and the only thing I could think of was, "Wow!" Where most other sushi restaurants would settle for providing lower quality fish in their chirashi bowls, O Fine refuses to cut corners. Everything from the toro down to the sweet shrimp was a burst of flavor that had us wanting more. One thing I rarely do is use ginger to cleanse my palate between fish, but as we were digging into our bowl, I was taking bites of ginger between every fish to truly taste the richness of every piece. We even had some surprise fish in the bowl! I have never had ankimo before and it was absolute delicious in the chirashi bowl. Service The service at O Fine was absolutely incredible to match the food. We were served by Iga and John and they were attentive and very friendly. There was not a moment where a glass was unfilled nor an finished plate was left on the bar. Many restaurants would do well to learn from the servers at O Fine. Ambience As you can see from the photos, the ambience at O Fine is positively beautiful. We were sat at the bar and were enamored by the blue accents on the Barton. The ambience is not just limited to the bar. When you walk in, you are met with a very modern, yet warm and welcoming luxurious feel. O Fine was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We felt very welcome and taken care of the entire time and thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate. This is definitely a new go-to sushi spot for us that we will be bringing all our friends to. If you are in the area or simply craving a high quality sushi experience, you simply must go to O Fine. You will not leave disappointed.

We went to O Fine Japanese Cuisine for dinner and absolutely loved it! The place is beautiful and had such a calm, relaxed vibe—plus it wasn’t crowded at all, which made the experience even better. The food was amazing, super fresh and flavorful, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality. We honestly loved everything about it and will definitely be coming back!

Very good sushi. The tuna collar is a must try. Service was good for a Friday night. The house saki was neutral, smooth and not too sweet.

This sushi place is hands down one of my favorite restaurants to visit, and for good reason - the food is beyond amazing! The fish is incredibly fresh and delicious, and the chefs really know how to craft sushi rolls and nigiri with the perfect rice to fish ratio. The attention to detail is evident in every bite. The Toro and Wagyu Nigiri are some of my personal favorites - the flavors are simply out of this world. And if you're looking for a great variety of flavors, the 12 piece sampler is definitely a must-have. It's the perfect way to try out a range of flavors and really get a sense of the quality of the ingredients. I would also like to add that the service at this sushi place is top-notch. Our waiter Jess was beyond amazing and always takes good care of us. She is very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, and always makes great recommendations. The staff in general is very friendly and accommodating, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I can't say enough about this sushi place. It's not my favorite sushi restaurant, it's my beyond favorite. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the chefs really know how to craft incredible sushi dishes that are sure to satisfy your cravings. If you're a fan of sushi, you absolutely have to give this place a try.

The sushi is pretty good here. Worth stopping if you are in the area.

O Sushi has been around for a while, so i've heard. My husband and I had date night here Friday night and we made it during happy hour. The decor is nice, clean, and relaxing. When you enter the restaurant you're immediately greeted by a sushi bar. I think it holds 10-12 people, and it flows nicely. There are a few tables in here in general, so please make sure to book ahead to secure your spot. We ordered the salmon sashimi.... which DID NOT disappoint. This piece of fish literally melts in your mouth, in fact it was so good that you could cut it with chop sticks. The flavor was excellent and we almost ordered another! We also got the yellow tail sashimi which was also really great. Some of the better sushi we have in So Cal, especially in Laguna. Would recommend and would definitely come back!

It's always a good lunch spot that my mom and I go to. The food never disappoints. I ordered the no. 7 lunch special that comes with miso soup and a salad. The server is always friendly and the chefs say good-bye as well.

I can confidently say is my favorite sushi place in California, if not ever. From the moment we walk in, we’re greeted with excellent service and a warm atmosphere. What stood out the most was the exceptional quality of the sushi. The fish is always fresh and perfectly prepared, and the ratio between the rice and fish is spot on. We usually order several selections of nigiri, and each bite is an explosion of flavors. One of our favorites is the sampler, which gave us a great variety of sashimi to try, also the crispy tuna is delicious. The service is always great, and our servers are knowledgeable about the menu and make great recommendations. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, making for a great dining experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this sushi restaurant to anyone looking for excellent sushi with great service. It's hands-down my favorite sushi place, and I can't wait to go back again!

Outstanding sushi spot These were delicious Sery Laguna Seared Yellowtail Salmon Lemon Crunch Red Dragon

It's expensive, I wouldn't call it "good". Also very strange, I asked the waitress if they have omakase (since it wasn't on the menu anywhere) and I recall they told me it was something you have to call in 4 hours in advance to reserve? What the heck? How long does it take to make 10 pieces of nigiri? Anyways, a few pieces of sashimi, some nigiri, and wagyu, and I'm out about over $350+ and not really feeling satisfied or full. It's one of those pretentious, "high end" places that are only expensive because it's near the beach and they know they can rip off rich people who live in Laguna and don't really know what good food tastes like. Also for some reason the salmon nigiri didn't really have any taste to me at all. Like seriously, I've had better salmon nigiri at KURA. The sashimi sampler was good though, but definitely can't get filled from it. If you are rich and have no taste, go to this place. For everyone else, I would steer clear. It wasn't the worst sushi I ever had, but it definitely doesn't justify the price! Just my opinion, 100% my opinion, no statements of facts were made in this review.

We came here to celebrate an important birthday. Thank you for the service and staff at " O Fine Japanese Cuisine" for making tonight special. The food was fresh and brought out at a fast rate. We ordered everything from edamame, seaweed salad, to lobster rolls, shrimp tempura rolls, chicken teriyaki and spicy dragon roll to name a few. Would definitely come back. It's one of my favorite sushi places. Parking is free and ambiance inviting.! 10/10 Protip: i would reserve on open table to be sure you have a spot. Its a small venue and they can get busy with the summer starting and patrons coming in from the beach and montage beach hotel.

Came for lunch and I was surprised to see that they offered a really good lunch special. They have the sashimi lunch priced at $28 and sushi lunch priced at $26. It not only comes with miso soup and salad, but also 3 other items. My sashimi lunch came with a tempura hand roll, 4 piece spicy tuna roll and 4 piece California roll. You will definitely be full! The fish was fresh and the rice in the rolls were perfect. Definitely a great value! Service was good. It's pretty small inside. When I came early afternoon the tables were full, so we sat at the sushi bar.

Great spot across montage hotel. Had a great sushi lunch. Well priced for the quality!

I forgot how much I like this place and now that they have Wi-Fi I will come here more often! The sushi is great I really like their sashimi specials especially the halibut with truffle The cucumber salad was pretty tasty. I really like the yellowtail jalapeño. All of the staff wears masks so they're very hygienic!

Have ate at the restaurant and ordered takeout. I LOVE this place. All visits so far have been consistent in fish quality and service. Definitely up there in price but you are paying for quality. Has a nice ambiance to it. Perfect place for a family dinner or date night.

Good sushi at good prices! I came here with one of my coworkers who was craving sushi as it was one place that we both haven't been. We planned on being there right when it opened and I had made a reservation just in case. It was easy to locate the restaurant, tucked away in the corner of the strip mall right in front of Gelson's. The workers open the front doors and we marched up and in, and got seated immediately. Our server got our drink orders fairly quickly, and we glanced through the menu. It took a bit for our server to come back to take our order, but that's OK. Since I was starving and eager to try a bunch of stuff, I ordered the following: Crispy Lobster Special Roll, Salmon Belly Sashimi, Sweet Shrimp Sushi, Crispy Rice w/ Spicy Tuna. The food, was delicious: - Crispy Lobster Special Roll: Aesthetically pleasing and tastes as good as it looks. It comes out with an empty lobster tail for visual appeal. Fried tempura surrounds pieces of onion and lobster on the roll, and tastes amazing. - Salmon Belly Sashimi: Fresh tasting and comes out on a small bed of ice and looks beautiful. - Sweet Shrimp Sushi: I love sweet shrimp and this did not disappoint. This is a must order. The heads were delicious :'). - Crispy Rice w/ Spicy Tuna: Also beautifully presented like the other dishes. Little squares of crispy rice topped with spicy tuna and a jalapeno. So dang good. This restaurant is a good one! A place where presentation and taste go hand in hand and does not disappoint. Give it a shot!

I've been coming here for lunch for over 7 years. Service is always attentive, and it's a very comfortable atmosphere! The restaurant is on the smaller side but nicely decorated. The lunch special has increased by $10 and the sushi is now much smaller (hence the 4 stars) but the lunch comes with hot miso soup, a fresh crisp salad with a sweet rice vinaigrette, chef's choice of 7pc sushi platter, a California roll (also much smaller) and "my favorites" which brings me back here every single time, it's their Japanese burrito and the crispy rice with spicy tuna, both are melt in your mouth deliciousness with a touch of heat. If you're hungry for something sweet and spicy, the crispy rice will make your mouth happy.

We love sushi and this place is worth the drive along the coast, so good, we've never been disappointed. The staff is really friendly,and the sushi chefs are really fun.

Wow We always order delivery from here & didn't realize it could get any better but lo & behold, the seared yellowtail cut roll, baked scallop roll, spicy tuna stuffed shishito peppers & sushi burrito were amazing & the service matched. The sushi came quickly & the staff was all friendly & willing to help. The restaurant itself is very clean & welcoming

This was some of the best sushi I have had in a while in normal priced sushi restaurant. I have definitely paid more for less quality. The O roll was my favorite, probably the freshest and light tasting roll I have had in quite some time. Cannot wait to come back again.

The portions are tiny and expensive. I don't recommend and will not be returning to this restaurant.

Fish was good, but very expensive for very small portions. very cool atmosphere and friendly service, but just overall too expensive for what you got

Sadly, the food has gone Way down hill:( Good thing there are plenty of other good Sushi restaurants.

Great ambiance. Nice staff. Good sushi. I got the sushi lunch combo which was good. But next time I'll splurge and get the premium sushi combo

Excellent, exquisite food and preparation. Great staff. We enjoyed everything. It's not a large place and it's a little on the higher price of sushi bars, but definitely top notch.

We had a wonderful time last night at O Fine They open at 5 o'clock thank goodness we made a reservation, as this little Japanese sushi restaurant gets very busy. It's a local favorite we were the first ones to be seated , as we were dining, we enjoyed watching people fill in all tables. Their Japanese cuisine is delicious . The portions are on the smaller side . So, for instance, the yellowtail came out very thinly sliced , a little bit too thin to really grasp the buttery texture of yellowtail. We enjoyed the yellowtail, the bluefin tuna, the crispy rice with tuna. We also had this great baked lobster roll. That was so good I would have that again and of course my favorite... eel. We brought our own favorite Jumai sake. there is a $25 corkage fee. The service was great. We had a very nice waiter, very attentive. Everything was brought out on point , we always appreciate that. So much. ( this restaurant is tucked into a strip mall. You cannot see it from the street. It's on the left side of Gelsons off of PCH.) we absolutely love the atmosphere.

Came for lunch. Food was amazing ! Sashimi lunch special was filled with highest quality/fresh sashimi. Salmon teriyaki prepared perfectly Even the miso soup and salad were way better quality than typical sushi place. Highly recommend! Will be back!!

Food was incredible. Specially the A5 wagu - was out of this world. Definitely princely, but hey it's laguna beach. Still worth an expensive night out. Service was attentive, quick and friendly Next time we come they should give me the aux though.

I eat here often as I live in Laguna Beach. They have really great lunch specials with a variety of options. Their sushi/sashimi/rolls boat special for dinner is highly recommended. The rolls are delicious and they offer a wide variety of choices. The nigiri and sashimi portion sizes tend to be on the much smaller size compared to what most typical Japanese restaurants offer, but the quality is good. Food is always fresh, beautifully prepared, and presented. Staff is always courteous, friendly, and attentive. It's a small clean simple modern designed restaurant with a nice quiet ambience and comfortable seating. Plenty of parking in the shopping center.

I went with my girl on a Sunday night. It wasn't very busy. The service was on point. They had one of my favorite sakes and monk fish liver, which is not easy to find. All the fish was very fresh and well prepared. Will happily come back here.

Slightly off the beaten path but that's the way I like it, however, it was the images of the food that won us over immediately. Location is off Highway 1, plenty of parking, and we'll away from the crowded downtown section of Laguna Beach. Greeted immediately and warmly, we were directed to a nice table and given the nicely bound menus to peruse. Our drink order was placed immediately, which is always an important detail in the service industry. This also gave me time to take in the lovely anesthetics of the restaurant, where the dominant feature is blue lights on pristine white. Very calming. The 12 piece Sashimi selection was our first choice and additional Bluefin and Salmon Sashimi, which feature five pieces in their house sauces. The presentation is marvelous too and we were quickly done, I was very hungry but tried to slow down to really savor the flavors and textures. Highlights included the scallops with peach and light plum sauce, the Albacore stood out as did the delicate Halibut. The chef took great pride in his work and it showed. We HAD to order more so some Nigiri was added and two rolls. One, the O Roll, is without rice and features a variety of fish, crab, and roe wrapped in cucumber. The other roll was brilliantly covered in the fantastic crispy onions we first enjoyed on the Bluefin. Their eel sauce is light and delicate, not sweet and syrupy like most places. Another surprise was how we ate just enough but didn't feel too full. The final surprise was the cost. It was up there but compared to Sugarfish locations or another recently reviewed place in K-Town, we came out well ahead by $50-75! All this quality in a nice setting. There's plenty to explore on the menu in the future, plus, I'd love to try an Omakase dinner. I also recommend their sake selection, it's clearly curated with many styles from various areas of Japan.

Very good value for high quality sushi, hidden in a strip mall. If this restaurant was located in one of the hotels across the street, you could easily add a "0" to the bill. I ordered the lunch special which was substantial and very tasty. The prices were very reasonable, friendly and efficient service. Great example of what a local business should be.

This gem is across the street from the Montage - and for some reason the address on yelp got us a little lost. The place is tiny, so try to make a reservation if you can. We walked in and went next door for a drink while we waited. (Turns our the wait was quicker than expected) The sashimi was fresh, melt in your mouth. The rolls were good, but expensive. But the highlight of the meal was the beef skillet with onions. Wow! We'll be back just for that. Only thing that could make it better is some music! It was dead quiet so we heard the entire conversation of the group next to us.

Amazing Japanese restaurant the food was exceptional we were really looking forward to fine in Orange County a really good place to have this quality of sushi for long time and great service .

my favorite sushi place in laguna! when you go there i highly recommend getting the miso soup with extra mushrooms.

Sharing my life with Laguna Beach for over 40 years and hands down OFine is my favorite true Japanese & Sushi spot.. here's why; Many restaurants serve sushi but they are not a Japanese nor a true Sushi eatery .. very different. Don the manager has been with OFine for over 13 opening this gem in 2009. All the employee team focus on this guests health, happiness and creating a memorable experience. All are genuine ...treating myself and all guests just like family. I love this quality. The restaurant is intimate classy and clean as a whistle which transcends to all their amazing dishes. OFine offers a fine collection of Saki, and is one of their trademarks. If you haven't tried their Saki, I suggest you do. The quality of Fish is top notch and I'm extremely picky. Other restaurants have a lower grade of fish and it is noticeable by its fishy smell. Top quality fish does not carry an odor. Each dish is plated with showcase artistic perfection. The sashimi Is cut beautifully and generously. with Unparalleled quality. One of my favorite things is OFine has amazing lunch specials.. (served 6 days a week) I love the Sashimi lunch special which domes with soup, salad a hand roll and the incredible Sashimi and a roll. Thank you to all the chefs and employees for going the extra mile to bring the very best each and every dish 6 days a week to Laguna Beach.

Amazing fresh sushi in an under-assuming mini mart next to Gelsons. Get the lunch special with the burrito and the crispy tuna. You'll leave happy like we did!!

Strongly recommend this wholesome sashimi fine dining! Each slice of sashimi is a masterpiece served fresh as an art form. The wasabi freshly grated to provide a piquant but gentle contrast to my taste buds. The value derived from this fine dining adventure is immeasurable. This fresh and healthy food served in an elegant setting fully satisfies my soul. It is a bit amazing that I no longer crave for unhealthy desserts snacks after the meal. This great cuisine is super closed to the beach and its located plaza is easy to find parking.

Was here for a quick brunch with a gf. Grabbed 3 a La carte dishes. Spicy tuna roll is served with 4 pieces. Each Pieces have a serving of caviar and jalapeño which added extra spice to the dish. The oyster is super fresh, you can either get half a dozen or a full dozen. And then lastly we got the seared albacore. It was topped with some kind of chilly sauce yum. The interior is pretty cozy. Just like most sushi restaurant , this one also had the chef in the front and there is surrounding bars seating.

Everything amazing! Omusake is the way to go! My husband says best sushi he's had in his life. And he's had a lot! Miso glazed chillean sebass absolutely delicious!

A hidden gem in Laguna Beach! Our server, Justin gave us great recommendations and the food service was quick!

Traditional sushis with imported fish's from Japan and Spain, high quality stuff. Their Shari (sushi rice) tastes delicious. I recommend the Negui Toro roll, Aji (Spanish mackerel), Hamachi (Yellowtail ) regular and belly, Bluefin Tuna, Red Snapper, Black Snapper, Kanpachi and fresh water Eel.

We've visited this location a number of times. It has been under a few different owners over the years. My wife and I arrived around 830pm for dinner. Later than usual due to kid's activity schedule and we wanted a quick sushi date night. I will say, arrive earlier....or be prepared to eat very fast. We were seated quickly. But then ordering, food delivery, eating, payment, etc were all rushed. We didn't realize the restaurant closed at 930pm. In all honesty, the staff acted as though the restaurant closed at 9pm. We started with some tempura which was piping hot and delicious. Batter was light and the food was cooked well. We then moved on to a salmon skin salad, which was also delicious. Everything else arrived next (sushi, bento box, spicy edamame) and at the same time. We ended up taking the sushi and the bento box (and remaining tempura) home to finish our meal as our check arrived within minutes of our food. We weren't the only patrons eating, but definitely felt rushed. We'll likely be back, but when we have plenty of time to sit down and enjoy the meal.

We keep going to O Fine for sushi. After several visits we can say that we had a great experience every time. The sushi and sashimi quality is top of the line, the dishes are very creative and the service is good every time. We keep coming back!

Treat yourself you deserve the best sushi in town. The staff was very friendly, we had a nice chat with the chefs, we were also treated to a on the house sushi. Very clean restaurant space. Sushi here melts in your mouth and the service is top notch. Everything was so delicious.

Love this place we come often. Great lunch specials too! They are very accommodating and my 5 and 7 year old children enjoy it too.

Not a hint of creativity. Basic sushi/sashimi nothing more. Wasn't bad just boring. Service was good. Ankimo was excellent.

Henry is the best! Gave us excellent service and the sushi did not disappoint! We ordered the spicy tuna rice which was delectable! We also ordered the B.D.S.T. We will continue to come back!

Sashimi sampler was INSANE like the combos they did were unlike any other restaurant I've been too. Our favorite was the peach scallop with plum yuzu sauce. Sounds weird but it was unforgettable. We ordered more of just that bc it was so good. Waygu beef fried rice was also insane but it was like $50 for a small bowl. The BTS roll, rock shrimp tempura, spicy tuna and garlic edamame weren't great but not bad. Would SO come back but probably just get the sashimi.

Very good restaurant. Really tasty and interesting rolls that I haven't had elsewhere. Highly recommend the bsts I think it was called. And good sake too!

Always wonderful. Fresh, fast service and so tasty! Love the dragon roll and the crab starter.

My boyfriend and I popped in at 5pm for the happy hour at ends at 6pm. Service is always great and consistent. The food is great quality! All the rolls are delicious! Highly recommend. Ambiance is super cozy and comfortable. Will be back!

Great food, lunch special was a great deal. Nice ambience and the service was good. Would come back!

We were looking for a Japanese dine-in restaurant to celebrate a special occasion and the yelp reviews led us here. This place is located near Gelson's shopping center across the street from Montage. Great location since its walking distance to one of the most amazing beach views in Laguna Beach. Reservations were easy. We felt Covid safe. Temperature checks at the door. They sat us in a corner table at least 6 ft away from others. The tables that weren't 6 ft apart had plexiglass windows in between. Staff wore masks. So all is good. The food was a mixed bag. Some great and some not so much: Great Salmon Hand Roll (5/5) - I love salmon sashimi. This was my favorite. Super Fresh. Buttery soft. Had avocado, rice, veggies. Flavors on point. Wild Miso Seabass (5/5) - Popular dish here. Served in a sizzling hot plate. Very Fresh and flavorful. Super Flaky and tender. Honestly almost had consistency of scallops. Get a side of rice and you set. Good portion to share. Seaweed Salad (5/5) - tasty and on point. Good Short Rib (4/5) - Served on a sizzling hot plate. They removed the bone and fat and cut into squares which is convenient. Personally I enjoy the bone-in and some fat. Definitely on the leaner side. Texture good but not great. Garlic Edamame (4/5) - Tasty just not the best I've had Needs Work Salmon Lemon Roll (3/5) - The rice was way too compacted so you couldn't taste the individual grains. Felt hard and mushy. Definitely ruined the texture. Also they left the peel on lemon wedge on top so gave it a slight bitter taste. If they fix both it would be much better. Shrimp tempura (3/5) - shrimp was on hard side. Definitely not fresh/tender like their fish. Agedashi Tofu (2/5) - Looks better than it tastes. The batter needs work. Way too hard/crusty. Needs to be lighter/flakier. Tofu was good. Udon and Tonkotsu Ramen - I didnt try this so cant rate but my party said it was fresh and tasty. Server was friendly. Seating very comfortable. Decor modern. If you familiar with Ahi- Ahi its the similar establishment. Price higher than average but quality is there. Overall 4 stars. I would definitely come back for Sashimi and Seabass!

Sushi was tasty and fresh. Atmosphere trendy and clean. Wait staff friendly but disorganized, had to request part of an order twice after ordering, and then charged for a drink that was not consumed.

Incredible sushi! This little gem is located in an outdoor shopping center. We walked there from the Montage but there was plenty of parking available in the large parking lot. The restaurant was open for takeout and limited outdoor dining (3 small tables). We stopped by to order takeout and was pleasantly surprised to find an open table. Obviously, we dined in. The menu contained a wide selection of food (sushi, ramen, tofu, salads, soup, seafood/ meat/ vegetable dishes). Being a vegetarian, I was very pleased with my options. We opted for 2 vegetable rolls, edamame, 2 miso w mushroom soups, a Crunch Red Dragon Roll, Tofu Salad, a Caterpillar Roll, Yellowtail sushi, Salmon sushi, and an Asahi. Everything was incredibly amazing . We both agreed that the miso soup was the best we ever had. The mushrooms were plentiful and a game changer. The vegetable roll was also the best I've had. This is the first time I've had it with asparagus. The tofu salad was unexpectedly large in size, beautifully plated and flavorful. My bf raved about the Dragon Roll. The way the crunchy onions were prepared was unique to other Dragon Rolls he has had in the past. Service was good despite their heavy load of takeout orders. Our servers were friendly and helpful. Pricing was standard for sushi. We would definitely visit again!

We ordered from the lunch menu. Sushi and sashimi platter that comes with a hand roll, salad and soup. Stale fish with generous dollops of imitation crab snuck in wherever possible. The salad looked old. For a 90 minute lunch service the food was shockingly bad. We walked in hungry and left hungry.
