Ohshima - Orange

1956 N Tustin St

Orange, CA 92865

Hours: 5 to 9:30pm

Ohshima is hands down my favorite spot for omakase in Orange County. They only take reservations between 5-5:30pm daily, and after calling about 50 times I was finally able to connect and make a reservation. This is probably the most frustrating part about dining here, but it's definitely worth the effort. 

Omakase (5/5): they usually offer an 8 or 10 course omakase for around $35-40, which is a great deal for the quality of sushi you get. Each piece is cut nice and thick, and the quality of the fish is just amazing.

Some of the types of fish included: 

-Bluefin Tuna

-Sea Bream

-Scallop

-Amberjack

-Sea Bass

-Cherry Salmon

-Beltfish

-Black Cod

Uni Pasta (3/5): nice and buttery, but not the best uni pasta I've had.

Pork Hot Dish (2/5): not that great, don't get this.

Tempura (3/5): just your average tempura.

This spot gets a 5/5 from me, because the quality of fish you get for the price is just incredible. I've been to multiple sushi spots in Orange County, and none compare to Ohshima. I highly recommend making a reservation for the bar because you get your sushi one piece at a time rather than all at once, which I feel heightens the experience. Great place to celebrate your birthday as they bring out a complimentary warm chocolate cake with ice cream for you!
