Comments: This is a great "little" restaurant located just north of South Coast Plaza in the Toys r Us parking lot.   It has a sushi bar that seats about 15 to 20 and inside table/booth seating for approximately 10 couples.  What I really like is that they have outdoor seating at patio tables.  It a great lunch place for those breezy Orange County afternoons. 

Lunch specials start from $5.95 for curries, udon, teriyaki bowls - served with rice.  Up at the $7.95 range you can get a boxed lunch with the following: teriyaki chicken & salmon, rice, steamed broccoli on a bed of spicy bean sprouts (kimchee style), a cobbette of corn, salad w/ginger dressing, egg roll and tempura (yes, all of that).

Their sushi is very good.  they offer hand rolls, as well as tokyo style (boxed/cut roll).  Double servings of sushi are around $3.50 each and hand rolls cost $3.00 (spicy tuna is a must)

The staff is friendly and efficient on the tea (cha) refills.  Getting a seat can be a problem if you are particular and the wait is generally around 10-15 minutes (30 at noon).
 

Tips & Suggestions: Open 1130a to 10p M-F, noon-10p Sat and noon-9p Sundays - sit outside and enjoy your lunch.  There is an ATM in the plaza where the are situated, along with a Carl's Jr. and a Vietnamese noodle place.   
Maps & Directions: 405 exit Bristol / go north past South Coast Plaza.  Located on the NW corner of Bristol and Sunflower.
