From Fairmont Newport Beach Best Nearby Sushi (Restaurants) (10 Overall Closest) Metro: Newport Beach, CA TEN Asian Bistro & Sushi (Restaurants - Sushi) 4647 MacArthur Blvd, Newport Beach  CA  92660 • 949-660-1010 Distance: ~1127 ft         Description: NEWPORT BEACH. Innovation, atmosphere, service – this happening Asian bistro gets 10s all the way around. In fact, TEN's decor may just be the standard by which other OC restaurants are measured. Each of the four elements (fire, water, earth, and air) is incorporated in intriguing ways, and kinetic color lighting ensures the mood is never static. A 16-foot Buddha hovers above the main dining room, and two beautifully designed patio seating areas feature fire pits. The menu includes temptations like caterpillar or yellowtail & jalapeño rolls, crisp whole catfish with sweet and sour sauce, and crispy Cantonese duck with hoisin lime sauce. Kitayama (Restaurants - Sushi) 101 Bay View Pl, Newport Beach  CA  92660 • 949-725-0777 Distance: ~0.75 mi User Rating: 9.5 / 10         Description: NEWPORT BEACH. Hidden in the Back Bay, this quaint sushi place earns high marks with locals, thanks to authentic Japanese decor and a menu that, while a tad watered-down, still manages to boast some of Newport's best rolls. The main dining room overlooks a traditional Japanese garden, making windowside tables a favorite. Private dining in tatami rooms is available for larger parties. Reservations are accepted. Wasa on the Bluffs (Restaurants - Sushi) 1346 Bison Ave Bluffs Shopping Center, Newport Beach  CA  92660 • 949-760-1511 Distance: ~2.05 mi         Description: NEWPORT BEACH. Casual and friendly, Wasa prides itself on taking away some of the mystique of sushi, especially for first-timers. Options range from the familiar (cucumber, California and rainbow rolls) to the specialty (the Tustin Roll features spicy tuna, cucumber and eel sauce while the Irvine Roll takes the California and adds smelt egg to the outside), and it's hard to make a bad choice. Diners who eschew the raw can take solace in superb main courses, which include sea urchin risotto with grilled spot prawns, rib-eye steak teriyaki, and Chilean seabass with soy and red wine marinade. I Love Sushi (Restaurants - Sushi) 2340 Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa  CA  92626-6233 • 714-540-6195 Distance: ~3.20 mi         Description: COSTA MESA. A quintessential Southern California sushi joint, this eatery is known far and wide for its Americanized fare. Of course, terrific lunch specials and reasonable prices don't hurt its popularity either. Start off with baked green mussels, sautéed calamari, or sautéed clams. From there, the choices broaden: Try the rainbow roll, a tempura-style M-80 roll, the six-piece sashimi platter, or the Chef's Special combination, which includes miso soup, four California rolls, and sautéed clams. The Cannery – Seafood of the Pacific (Restaurants - Sushi) 3010 Lafayette Ave, Newport Beach  CA  92663 • 949-566-0060 Distance: ~5.10 mi         Description: NEWPORT BEACH. Located on the waterfront, The Cannery is one of those colorful places where customers arrive by both land and sea. The main lobby is adorned with rare baseball memorabilia, and in the sophisticated, water-level Grill Room, the specialty is corn-fed certified Angus beef and seafood. On the top floor, sushi and cocktails go hand-in-hand in the trendy Asian lounge. For a truly great experience, request a patio table and enjoy Jack's bouillabaisse or wood-broiled Pacific swordfish along with lovely views of the Rhine Channel. Restaurant Abe (Restaurants - Sushi) 2900 Newport Blvd, Newport Beach  CA  92663-3726 • 949-675-1739 Distance: ~5.24 mi User Rating: 9 / 10         Description: NEWPORT BEACH. How about Japanese fare with European influence? Abe separates itself from the pack with a little help from its innovative menu, which features what many swear is Orange County's best sushi. Beautiful presentation and unusual items win over regulars, who can't get enough of the impeccably prepared dishes. Although the rather unimpressive decor may not knock your socks off, the friendly waitstaff and quick kitchen make Abe a wise lunch choice if you're on the go. Copyright ©2001 10Best Inc.
