Good sushi place but I would say it's one level below Nana San or San shi go in terms of the sushi and it's a bit more expensive as well. The king salmon, Spanish mackerel and toro stood out among the nigiri I tried, the rest are just okay/good enough... I feel that the madai, which was highly recommended by our waitress on the "from Japan" menu was nothing special which is why it was masked with a chili flake sauce/topping. Good place but not great.

What makes Shunka Sushi special is their wide seasonal selection of fish from Japan. If you are interesting in trying some new fish that go beyond your neighborhood sushi join, look no further than Shunka. Here you can order an omakase to get the chefs choice of seasonal fish. They are now offering different sizes to fit your appetite. If that doesn't work for you, you can always order what you want, or even get some rolls. If there is truly something you have your heart set on, considering calling ahead to see if the restaurant has it or can set it aside for you. Some of my favorite items like amaebi may get sold out, but oh is it ever worth it.

Definitely some of the best sushi I've had. It was a bit of a long wait, but it was definitely worth it. I mostly tried their sushi and I was not disappointed. Apart from the food the service was fantastic and our waitress was pretty awesome. Great food, great service, honestly what more can you ask for? I'd definitely come back to try out the rest of their menu.

Came here for omakase. Food and service was good. I think vince(?) was our servers name. All the workers are soooo cute and expressed alot of gratitude while we were there. They also surprised me by coming out& singing happy birthday to us. I definitely would come back !

Our absolute most favorite sushi place! My husband and I have frequented here over 8 years and it's our constant "treat" meal. Everything is awesome but we usually just go omakase and enjoy the delicious fresh fish. Always have to get the sea bream, the medai and a spider handroll to end the meal. Since Covid19, we have been doing takeout when we can.

Hands down the best sushi I've had, ever! Reviews about their salmon and bluefin tuna sashimi are accurate, it is fresh and delicious! The service was impeccable from start to finish, our server was helpful and friendly and seemed to be there whenever we needed him. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently ordered a takout order for Shunka; I have been here in the past but this was my first time ordering takeout since the pandemic. Phone ordering was easy and they were very flexible about customization of rolls etc. I ordered the 369 Roll, California Cut Roll with added masago, Crunchy Roll, Blue Crab Cut Roll, Shima Aji Sushi, Yellowtail Belly, Fresh Water Eel Sushi, Uni Sushi and Chirashi Lunch Special Bowl. Preparation took about 30 minutes and pick up was easy and convenient. The food quality is amazing, I especially recommend the Blue Crab Cut Roll which usually comes as a handroll for $12 but you can ask them to make it a cut roll for around $15 I think. The yellowtail belly was perfectly tender and flavorful as were the other cuts. The chirashi bowl is a great deal in my opinion, especially for lunch. The total for this lunch cost around $108 pre-tip for 3 people which I believe is quite reasonable given other places. The size may be smaller than other places in terms of the sashimi and sushi but the quality more than makes up for it. I would highly highly recommend this place!

Great sushi and wonderful service. Wait staff took the time to make recommendations and did a great job of pointing my party towards excellent fresh fish. Don't be scared it's in a strip mall, check it out.

Awesome! Food was amazing of course. Must get fresh water eel and Toro. Uni was extremely fresh. Service couldn't be better.

Shunka is an awesome place to get Tokyo style sushi. The service is awesome, and the atmosphere is wonderful. This is not a roll shop. Come to Shunka if you want fresh Japanese fish and seafood. Try the Tomago for desert. It is amazing!

This is our favorite sushi place in OC! Great service and amazing food. Fresh and good quality.

I had the 8-piece + 1 handroll omakase here with two of my other friends! Each piece was fresh, soft, and tasty to eat. The handroll was also well made and fresh. But the experience we had was what made me give this a 5 star review. The staff were very welcoming and pleasant, especially our sushi chef, Chef Juro. He made us feel welcome and comfortable with his friendly attitude and side jokes. One of my friends is allergic to scallops, and we forget to tell him beforehand. In response, he graciously gave her another piece on the house to make up for it! Would definitely recommend coming back here for the tasty yet affordable omakase and amazing customer service. Thank you Chef Juro and the rest of the Shunka staff! :) P.S. We will come back only if Chef Juro does our omakase again #onlyChefJuro

Awesome little sushi place. Pictured are the Poki roll + Shunka roll + yellowtail sashimi + edamame + miso soup.

This is the best place around for authentic sushi. Not so much if you like Americanized sushi rolls loaded with mayo and fried things. Highly recommend sitting at the bar and ordering omakase

The sushi here is still really good but the quality in the nigiri and rolls are not the same. I understand the prices rising because the prices have risen everywhere but the portions are extreme small. This used to be my go to spot but now sad to say, not so much.

Sit at the sushi bar. Hopefully you'll get Tomo as your sushi chef. Fish was super fresh and delicious. We got the 8 piece omakase and hand roll. We also ordered additional fish and asked for Tomo's recommendation. He had 2 live shrimp left, turned them into nigiri and fried the heads. An absolute delight. If you're in the Costa Mesa area you need to go here if you're a sushi fan. 10/10 recommend.
