We, at Sushi World, enjoy putting our little twist on everything, even on this nerdy little holiday. May the 4th Be With You should really be May the 4th Piece of Sushi Be With You. That's because we'll eat the first 3 pieces of sushi. You can have the 4th. Hehe. So swing on by or order a party platter like the one pictured. You figure out who gets how many. :-)

If you partook in last week's Sushi & Sake Tasting, you would have noticed our newest addition to our sake menu, Kubota Suiju Daiginjo Nama. Yeah, that's a mouth full. If you like unpasteurized sakes (nama), then you should really try this sake out. It's rare to have a Daiginjo as a Nama. This one is clear with an elegant, fruity aroma Like all unpasteurized sakes, it is served chilled. A bottle of this will regularly be $125. But for the rest of April 2018, we will offer it at only $75. We want you to really see how great this tastes with our sushi.

During our Happy Hour, you can get 2 pieces of Fried Aji for $3.99. Fried Aji is a Japanese Mackerel, breaded and fried to perfection. We serve it with a side of ponzu sauce if you'd like to dip it. What's nice about our Fried Aji is that they come with a little handle, their tails! You can hold on to them and just take a bite. There are no bones so you don't have to worry about that. This items along with 7 other appetizers are all on our Happy Hour menu for $3.99 which is all day on Mondays & Tuesdays and on all other weekdays from 2pm till 5pm.

Sushi World will hold this year's Sushi & Sake Tasting on Wednesday, April 18th. For those who register online and show up for the tasting event, you will be eligible to win a 1.8L bottle of Kikusui to enjoy at Sushi World either that night or on a subsequent visit. For the tasting, we will have 2 options: 1) $15 for 3 premium sakes paired with 3 pieces of sushi (bluefin tuna, red snapper) or 2) $30 for 3 top-shelf sakes with 3 pieces of sushi (uni, amaebi, toro). You can get both if you so desired. And of course, our entire menu will be open to you.

All day on Mondays & Tuesdays, you get to take advantage of the best Happy Hour deal in all of Orange County at Sushi World! Enjoy $3.99 sushi, including the pictured salmon, but you can also get peppered salmon, escolar, albacore, yellowtail, shrimp, and natto. Also available on the best Happy Hour in OC are $3.99 appetizers, and $12 Sapporo pitchers. Looks like it's going to be warm from here on out in the OC. Might as well start the week off right by coming by and visiting us!

Just joking people. All sushi matters. But we really do love these in particular. They just happen to be white. It's not our fault. They just happen to be exceptionally delicious. From left to right, they are Red Snapper, Yellowtail Belly, Albacore Belly, and Jumbo Scallop. We are working on the details of our annual sake tasting right now as we hope to have some sake companies come out to represent themselves. Tentatively, it will be on Wednesday, April 18th. Stay tuned as we reveal more details! And remember, white sushi matters!

We have Orion Japanese beer on tap! Yay! So in addition to our Sapporo, we now have Orion, which most definitely has a different taste, more like European beers. Swing on by soon and get a draft or two and you'll see what we mean. When the tap was installed, they also put on a feature that produces very foamy head so feel free to request more head, if that's your preference. Of course, it goes great with just about everything we serve.

We, at Sushi World, are always trying new things, especially when it comes to improving on some old, traditional favorites. Normally, Tako Wasa is made with raw octopus but we have recently switched it to cooked octopus. This makes a huge difference as raw octopus is very bland and slimy and most importantly, hard to pick up with some chopsticks. So the pictured is the new version, with cooked octopus, pickled wasabi, and wasabi oil. It's a great starter, especially with some beer and/or sake. Of course, the traditional Tako Wasa is still available upon request.

Yay! Sushi World got to be a part of OC Weekly's 2018 Eat + Drink Social Edition! If you want to see it for yourself, click here and go to page 36. You'll get to see our Three Amigos Roll, all dolled up. Yeah, because normally, we don't serve any of our dishes with a flower in it. That would be a waste. We're more concerned with giving you great tasting food rather than great looking food, although we do try our best to make our food as presentable as possible. :-)

Swing on by Sushi World for St. Patrick's Day! Yes, we know we're not your first choice but that's not going to stop us from trying! We have plenty of green items to choose from, like our Shishito Peppers, Salmon Skin Salad, Seaweed Salad, Jalapeno Yellowtail, Cucumber Sunomono Salad, Caterpillar Roll, Spicy Garlic Edamame, Albacore Carpaccio, and Tako Wasa. And we don't have green beer but we have plenty of green bottled sakes, like our Kiku-Masamune Junmai Taru Sake. Cheers!

While Sushi World is all about our sushi, sake, and chefs, we still make sure you have options when it comes time for dessert. Our Green Tea Creme Brulee is definitely a different take on the classic Creme Brulee. It's got that Asian vibe thanks to the green tea. It's a great item to get for yourself or to share and it definitely won't feel heavy. Be sure to check out our extensive dessert menu as we have carefully crafted it to complement our general menu.

If you're in the mood for Oyster Shooters, swing on by! Our sushi chefs love to serve them up to you. Sometimes, they'll use shot glasses. Other times, they'll use a wine glass. We take a freshly shucked oyster, throw it in a glass with ponzu, masago, sake, green onions, and a few other secret ingredients. And if you'd like, you can always squeeze some more lemon juice and/or add some tabasco to kick it up another level of heat and flavor.

For lunch or dinner, our Chirashi Bowl to-go is always the right choice! It features 2 pieces of Tuna, 2 pieces of Yellowtail, 2 pieces of Salmon, 2 pieces of Albacore, 2 pieces of Red Snapper, a Shrimp, and a piece of Tamago (egg). It's all served on a bed of rice.

We easily have the best Happy Hour for sushi anywhere in Orange County. We've even checked sushi restaurants down south Orange County and still could not find anyone who would even come close to comparing to our kick ass sushi deal for happy hour, which is available all day on Mondays and Tuesdays and from 2pm to 5pm on Wednesdays through Fridays. Enjoy $2.99 sushi, which includes salmon, albacore, natto, escolar, and shrimp. Also, $3.99 appetizers, and $12 Sapporo pitchers. Come get some today!

A very common item that you should always get is our Smoked Salmon Collar. The meat around the collar of the salmon is especially buttery and delicious already. And searing the salmon collars were good but smoking them adds a whole other level of flavor and texture that is absolutely out of this world. The other nice thing about this item is that anyone, even non-sushi lovers, can enjoy this. It is fully cooked and comes with rice, salad, and some ponzu sauce. We always do the smoking ourselves so you know it's fresh. Try it out on your next visit. You won't regret it.

We have been contemplating a restaurant makeover for quite some time now. We've finally taken the first step by wiping down our big wall. It previously had a few hand-drawn cherry blossoms and posters of our food. We've hired a local artist who is one of our regulars to do a mural of Japanese Koi fishes. It's coming out quite nicely and will be done shortly. Please be sure to swing on by soon to check out the progress and let us know what you think. After the wall, what should we do next? Maybe redo the tatami room?

Live Amaebi (Sweet Shrimp) is in stock! Watch as our awesome sushi chefs prepare them for you at the sushi bar. They'll even show you how the tentacles on the head continue to move even after it's been decapitated. The heads are eventually deep fried and you can eat them like popcorn chicken. So delicious! And of course, the bodies of the amaebi are expertly prepared and absolutely delicious also! They can be prepared as sushi (nigiri) or without rice as sashimi. Your choice. Make sure you order a few today! And if you're lucky, you'll get the one with eggs!

It's been a tough/great Super Bowl weekend. Time to start the week off right with a nice, cold, $12 Sapporo pitcher during Sushi World's Happy Hour all day on Mondays and Tuesdays. What? You want more than just beer? We got you. We also have $2.99 sushi with 5 different types to choose from, $3.99 appetizers with 8 different items to choose from. Yeah, there's more on the Happy Hour menu so you won't run out of options. Such a great deal by yourself or with some of your closest friends.

Yikes! Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Have you made plans yet? We get pretty busy on Valentine's Day so if you're planning to have a Sushi Date Night at our place, please call us to make reservations as soon as possible. We will be posting about our Valentine's prix-fixe menu soon but in the mean time, you can really come by any night for a date night at Sushi World and simply get a platter like this one, featuring our Bluefin Tuna, Hotategai (Jumbo Scallops), Salmon, Red Snapper, Yellowtail Belly, and Yellowtail. Yum.

We most definitely have the best Happy Hour in Orange County! Where else are you going to find $2.99 Sapporo pints, $12 Sapporo pitchers, and $4.50 Smoked Albacore Hand Rolls? No where. You also get to enjoy $2.99 sushi, $3.99 appetizers, and a slew of other happy hour specials. You can click here to see our Happy Hour menu. You're bound to find a at least a few favorites. And, to top it all off, our Happy Hour is all day on Mondays & Tuesdays and then on all other weekdays from 2pm till 5pm. Come in now!

A Chirashi Bowl is all you need for a complete meal that features plenty of fish and flavor! Fresh sushi, all in a bowl. Is there anything better? Well, there is but you can't fit that into a bowl. We've tried. Come on in for lunch, happy hour, or dinner, sushi lovers! Our Chirashi Bowl features 2 pieces of tuna, 2 of yellowtail, 2 of salmon, 2 of albacore, 2 of red snapper, 2 shrimp, and a piece of tamago for good measure.

Here we are at the start of another year. Many of us are making resolutions. Many of us intend on keeping them to improve our lives and our way of living. We'd like to help you keep your resolutions as much as possible so feel free to come on in and eat healthier and eat more fish. One of our ongoing resolutions is to always eat with loved ones more. Our lives are so busy nowadays that we forget what is most important: spending quality time with loved ones. So we want to encourage you to come on in and keep 3 of your resolutions on track for as long as possible.

You want to lose weight and cut down on carbs. Gotta look sexy for the beach, Halloween costume, reunion, jealous ex. That doesn't mean you can't still come by and enjoy our restaurant. We have many, many low-carb or no-carb options. We even have brown rice, if you so desire. A low-carb (possibly no-carb) favorite is our Salmon Carpaccio. So delicious on so many levels, your taste buds won't be sure how to react. Just tell them to calm the hell down and just enjoy it. It tastes good and it won't break your diet.

Our Happy Hour Menu is the best in Orange County and it's available all day on Mondays and Tuesdays and on all other weekdays from 2pm till 5pm. You can get a lot of favorites, like our $4 salmon skin hand rolls, $4 salmon skin salads, $4 smoked albacore hand rolls, and spicy tuna rice cakes for $4! We also have $2.99 sushi, $3.99 appetizers, and $12 Sapporo pitchers! We also have various specials on some of our basic rolls, too!

We, at Sushi World, would like you to keep your resolution to eat healthier in the new year. What's healthier than eating sushi? It's great for you in every which way. Makes your skin glow. Makes you happy. No processed fat. All natural. What more can you ask for to keep your new year's resolution? Try our 13-Piece Sushi Combo which has a little bit of everything: Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, Albacore, Red Snapper, Shrimp, Tamago, and a Tekka Maki.

This is more than just a resolution. This should be a part of life. Everyone should eat more fish because it's good for you. Why do you think everyone is crazy for Omega-3s? Why pop the pills when you can get it naturally? Pictured here is a sashimi sampler with expertly sliced pieces of yellowtail, red snapper, tuna, salmon, and albacore. A nice variety of fishes full of essential nutrients and protein that is overall good for you and great for your health. On top of it all, it's delicious! What more can you ask for?

Welcome to the new year! Why not start the year off right and come on in for Happy Hour? It's all day on Mondays and Tuesdays and this year, New Year's Day happens to land on a Monday. So once y'all sober up, come on in (because we know you're not working). Our sushi chefs would love to have you come in and celebrate with them. Get them drunk, too! It's the best way to bring in the new year. When everyone is drinking and happy!

For some who may need a little help finding us, we've drawn up this handy dandy map for you. It shows that we are near the major intersection of Katella and Knott and also near Target. It's kinda nice to be able to hit up Target whenever you're out of cereal, lotion, or tampons. It's even nicer to be able to grab some sushi anytime you want when you're making a Target run. And unlike most Japanese restaurants, we're open between lunch and dinner.

Just because you love sushi doesn't mean you have to go without dessert at Sushi World! We have quite the extensive dessert menu such as the pictured Baileys Chocolate Mousse. It's decadently rich and smooth and a great way to end a meal at Sushi World, especially if you have a sweet tooth. If chocolate mousse is not for you, we also have 11 other desserts to choose from. So swing on by for some sushi, sake, and desserts soon.

Due to popular demand, Sushi World now offers Christmas Gift Certificates! They're available in $25, $50, and $100 increments. We know how difficult it is to find the right present for everyone but this one surely will make things easier for you. You can come by for lunch or dinner and then purchase the gift certificates at the same time. You get dinner and your presents done in one shot. Wow, talk about efficiency.
