Description

This isn't just a safe fallback for industrial-park drones who forgot their sack lunch; even in a city where great Japanese restaurants are as prevalent as Minutemen council members, Wafu stands out as the dive that's perhaps the best bargain.

And if you don't like fish, no worries: Stick with the curry or the ginger pork.

  • 2010 | Best Sushi

    A great sushi restaurant understands the tightrope between offering fresh fish for the masses and pleasing the snobs, between tradition and innovation. And Wafu of Japan understands this better than its competitors. The tiny dive, located just outside the gates of John Wayne Airport, can omakase with Morimoto, offering blue shrimp complete with fried head for your sucking and buttery toro. But lunchtime crowds come for the rolls, unabashedly American in execution and flavors. Don't get... More »
