Is it Dine in? Or is it outdoor dining?

Both.

Doesn't Kaisen trust it's customers? Do you realize you are the only place in Orange county that requires a credit card to order over $20. No class cheap place to treat customers that way. Should we trust your establishment. You creat mistrust loss

Probably just their break-even number after they give the cc company the vig.

Good menu varieties with daily specials and wait time was only about 5 mins ~ Sashimi, rolls, appetizers and desserts available. Quality is OK, nothing really blew my mind but good got quick Sushi craving fix.

This place is like any other revolving sushi place. It doesn't have temperature controlled plate and tops so you never know how long it's been sitting. I was there socializing with my gf for almost 2 hours and the same one was going around the revolving belt. I just order staight from the chef.

This is my favorite sushi bar in Orange County located right next to the Staples and CVS by Party City it's almost always full but the wait is not really that long 15 to 30 minutes max the rotating sushi bar is really convenient because even if it's busy you can grab something off the belt and start munching my favorite is the salmon nigiri it's always fresh and delicious the prices are super low you can almost always get a full belly with food and drinks for 40 bucks the sake and beer happy hour prices can't be beat buy one get one!

Our go to sushi place! The moving conveyor belt sushi table gives a nice sushi place theme to the place. Their sushi taste superb. I always get the kobe beef tataki, medium fatty tuna and eel. They also have specials every day of the week! So if you want great sushi and great food come here!

Fun place for the kids with the conveyor belts carrying sushi, including cheesecake and eclairs (likely just bought from supermarket nearby). Sushi was ok, but nothing special, and they have hamachi kama on the menu as an app, but it's only fried! All their non-menu items are fried, even the teriyaki chicken or beef. Super disappointing - the waitress claimed the cook can only fry during the day, can't use the grill/broiler until dinner service.

I would give this restaurant 4 stars if the waiters are friendly and courteous. Unfortunately, all of them are blunt at best, some of them openly display f-you attitude to their customers like one of them cheap midnight diner. I didn't realize until my neighbor customer(a couple of 60s) finally had enough and complained of their terrible service quality. You actually have to STOP them to ask for something, they will avoid eye contact without remorse, and they won't say thank you. To be fair, their food is good so I feel sorry for the chefs that the waiters are spoiling the good credit that the shop would deserve. They should just fire and replace all the waiters there.

I think, at least within Orange County, this is #1 revolving sushi restaurant. The quality of their seafood is amazing for their price level. The service is attentive and fast. While I don't enjoy the long wait time, I do understand this is what happens when a restaurant is successful and everyone wants to be there.

Sushi, rolls and tempura were all really good! The "sushi boat" idea is one that never gets old. Food looked and tasted fresh. Service was borderline stuffy but all in all everything was good.

While visiting Anaheim, I met a friend at Kaisen Sushi. It was such a fun sushi experience. While the sushi and ambiance would have received a 5 star rating, the rotating sushi bar and value put it over the top! There wasn't brown rice sushi, which I prefer, but the fish was top quality. We ordered a couple of eel sushis, and chose the rest of our rolls from the ever rotating bar next to us. The rolls were fresh and delicious! I also ordered a side salad that I did not care for, expecting a typical ginger Asian salad. It had corn and tomatoes, lettuce and seaweed with a soy based sauce.meh. It's also a small establishment, so get there before the rush. I will definitely be going here again!

I've been here plenty of times and usually the food and service is great. Today was an exception, however, and it wasn't even that crowded... I had to wait 45 minutes for my order to come out, asked the waitress and turns out they forgot completely. THEN had to wait 25 more minutes to get a baked scallop rolls that crumbled apart and leaked out this nasty juice underneath. I was able to pour THIS much out from under it. I don't think it's fair to take away all merits from just one bad experience but this was pretty bad.

It's hard to beat the price of their daily specials. $1.75 for a spicy scallop hand roll or negi toro hand roll, etc depending on the day. Very affordable depending on what you get. Food is just okay though, nothing too amazing. The more expensive items were decent as well. Favorite was probably the uni and snow crab. $3.50 for two pieces of decent uni - how can you beat that? Least favorite was the Cajun salmon, baked mayo salmon and baked mussel. Those were just bad lol. Waitresses were nice and attentive, but the host seemed a little flustered at handling more than two customers at a time.

Hidden away in Santa Ana this place has really good fresh fish and good atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised for my first time. I had salsom sushi, seared salmon sushi, eel and more. The only bad is the customer service. It wasn't horrible but it could improve. Overall a great experience and I'll be coming back.

It is a nice place not a cheap spot at all the plates are colored in a way that is super hard to actually see the price of each plate.. I was just sat down in front of he door and not given access to the whole menu ... I was trying to keep it cheap and still spent 17 dollars it is better to go to an all you can eat sushi buffet it will be cheaper and more filling

This is my favorite sushi place. Selection and quality is excellent. It’s popularity is well deserved, but when I see people waiting outside to get in, I don’t even stop. The wait times can be brutal. Seating is limited, so that’s not helpful. The best time to go to ensure you get right in on a weekend? Show up when they open at 11:30am. Any other time, it’s a coin-flip.

First, they have awesome sushi and alot of options on the menu 😋 Never been disappointed by the food, the chefs are consistent and take pride in their dishes. Almost always a crowd but they manage it very well. Most of all, I really like the staff. They are courteous and professional. Many years ago I had an experience which could have been terribly embarrassing...this racist guy refused to sit by me, insisted on being seated elsewhere. I swear the hostess could not figure out what his problem was cause he wouldn't explain...but I knew and so did others watching. She truly was colorblind! Her supervisor swiftly stepped in and told the guy to sit or leave! They don't tolerate that kind of discrimination. From that day they've seated me close to the chefs where honestly is the best seat 😋 All this to say they are genuinely awesome people. You won't go wrong visiting here ☺️

This place used to be a hidden gem for good sushi for cheap. Now it's typically a busy joint that gives me a mixture of good and so so sushi. On a good day it's good solid sushi for the price. On a bad day, the sushi could have a overwhelmingly fishy after taste. I still go here once in awhile though. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and/or Saturdays for their special daily hand rolls.
