What People Are Saying About Restaurant Abe

In Short – Join the stylish legions who regularly commandeer the 16 sushi bar stools and 17 widely spaced tables of this airy, pastel bungalow. Formerly the domain of master chef Abe who sold this namesake restaurant, Albacore dynamite rolls, eel California rolls and live scallops are the stars of the menu. Dragon's Eye, disks of broiled blue crab, shrimp and asparagus, wrapped in halibut and crowned with sweetish dragon sauce (miso-sweet sake-mayo) stands in for dessert.

Based upon the word on the street, I went here with high expectations but was disappointed. The presentations looked amateur and artsy-craftsy, not artistic. The waitress regularly disappeared (people at a table next to us finally left because they couldn't get anybody's attention). Even though the restaurant was not very busy, our party of 3 adults ordering the expensive "special dinner" found, halfway through our meal, that a large noisy group with bratty children was seated directly next to us.... poor consideration for our dining experience. I would not go again.
- Pros: Small, non-chain-restaurant atmosphere; fresh fish.
- Cons: Inattentive service, sloppy presentation, expensive.
Best Sushi in OC

The staff is so friendly.. I am a regular, but it is always good when you go to a resteraunt and they remember what you like.
A MUST TRY is the spicy crispy tuna appetizer! It is to die for.. so yummy.. it becomes an addiction to anyone i get to try it. Im not a fan of spicy food either.. but this is so perfect
- Pros: great sushi, friendly staff, perfect for groups too
- Cons: can get pricey, can get busy on weekends
Helpful and friendly staff, prompt seating, free parking.

Must try dishes are the seabass and blue fin toro sashimi. Taste and texture are mouth-watering! Just a heads up on the toro, it's $30 for 5 slices of toro sashimi and $15 for 2 pieces of toro sushi. Much more worth it to order the 5 piece sashimi. =)
- Pros: Fresh and Yummy food, friendly and helpful serivce, free parking
- Cons: Pricy
