Food: Art on a plate really

Essentially, San Shi Go Newport Beach is a food authority with its contemporary yet authentic approach to Japanese cuisine. The star of the show is the Omakase 101, a culinary torrent of freshness and creativity. Don’t miss out on the memorable, phenomenally fresh Sweet Shrimp and Sushi Rolls that keep people hooked. It’s a smorgasbord of unforgettable flavors, but that smile may waver a bit when you see the portion sizes.

Vibe: Intimacy wrapped in elegance

The restaurant’s vibe is nothing short of an emotion. It’s a cozy, intimate space or a love letter to stylish decor, if you may. The chic, trendy look is complemented by dreamy, ocean-side sunset views that could put a filter to shame. Add to that the impressive wine and sake selection and you have a perfect place for that romantic date you’ve been planning.

  • Great For Dates

    Cozy, intimate setting with ambient lighting ideal for romantic dates.

  • Okay Drinks

    Good options available, but some customers found wine list lacking.

Perks: Quite there, but not quite

When it comes to perks, it's a mixed bag at the San Shi Go Newport Beach. Reservations? A breeze. Service? Brilliantly friendly and professional. Dietary preferences? Catered to with care. But parking feels like finding a needle in a haystack, and you'd risk calling off that much awaited date night because of the maddening noise and some people's obliviousness to the concept of personal space.

  • Easy To Reserve

    Easy to make reservations, online and over the phone, very accommodating.

  • Okay For Diets

    Staff attempts to accommodate, but may fail dietary restriction needs.

  • Bad For Groups

    Small size, not suited for large parties, cramped and busy.
