A Cup Of Sushi - Irvine

H i d d e n g e m Hidden in the middle of some industrial buildings, this was an unassuming vendor in a group of 14 in a takeout center (meant for pickup/door dash/Uber eats etc. but hey plenty of parking! This was surprisingly decent. y a y e h h h Mini rainbow cup w greens (instead of rice w the onion chia dressing (which I only used a bit of was delicious but p salty , this was decently tasty and hit the spot for a quick sushi craving! The fish was fresh enough and though I feel it could be slightly fresher, I'd still get this again bc it wasn't bad. Super umami and fun to eat. Mini size was plenty for me to bridge between brunch and dinner! 4/5.Caterpillar cup w eel dressing which is a p sweet teriyaki flavor personally I thought the sauce was too sweet but otherwise woulda been good perhaps w a diff less sweet dressing. This one doesn't have sushi in it though so keep that in mind if that's what ur craving. 3.8/5. o v e r a l l We enjoyed it and look forward to coming again! Easy grab n go that's deliciously umami. Bonus: grassy area outside that was walkable for my pups while we waited! C:

After reading some reviews detailing the confusion they countered at the take out kiosk, I decided to be lazy and ordered A Cup of SUSHI via DoorDash. Easy peasy!We ordered the poke cup and mini rainbow cup and upgraded to combos. The fish used in the sushi cups were fresh and we got to pick the base (sushi white rice, mixed grain or salad) as well as the dressing. Besides the size difference between the regular and mini cups, the regular also came with a small salad served in its separate plastic tray sitting on top of the cup that must be removed prior to enjoying the actual sushi cup. The mini bowl could be enjoyed as is with the dressing we selected.Each combo comes with sides and azuki taiyaki. Our sides were a shrimp tempura, karaage chicken, kinpira gobo (burdock root), hijiki seaweed salad and a little bit of salad with small tomato. The taiyaki was packed to the max with red bean. Even though the fried food was lukewarm when it arrived, it still maintained quite a bit of the crunch, which was nice.We were a bit hesitant to order raw fish via DoorDash but we were pleasantly surprised by the freshness as well as the perfect packaging. Looks good, tastes good! Perfect for casual lunch dates at home and picnics! Thumbs up!

This fun sushi in a cup is located inside a smart kitchen with multiple other restaurants! Super new and cool concept, where you order online, ring the bell once you get there, and the food is brought out to you!Love the creativity of this! The aesthetics are super instagrammable. I could see why someone would order this on their lunch break as well because it 's a quick all in one! We would say it 's hard to grab everything in one bite, especially for someone who likes their poke mixed. But, we read a tip about eating a little and then shaking it which seems very smart!

YUCK!!! We visited the Japan Fair at the OC Fairgrounds this weekend. This place had a booth and was one of the few places that did not have a long line. In fact there was no line...we just walked up to the window. We ordered a Rainbow cup and watched as a server grabbed the pre-made cup from a large plastic cooler like you would take camping. I thought this was a good sign as it appeared they were keeping the stuff cold prior to serving. WRONG. When I picked the cup up from the counter it was at room temperature and not even close to being cool let alone cold. Not good to store raw fish at the incorrect temperature. We found a place to sit and eat the food. It appeared to have a slice of shrimp, a few pieces of ahi, a few pieces of salmon on top of rice and some salad type ingredients. I always sample the raw fish before adding sauce to test the freshness of the fish. I was horrified at the fishy taste of the ahi. It was not remotely fresh and had obviously deteriorated, probably from the way the pre-made cups were stored prior to serving. The salmon was a bit better but still not real fresh. The fish went in the trash and we ate the rice. Try at your own risk. Oh, and the email address the business provided in the reply to this review is non-functional!

I had been wanting to try this place for a while and stopped by for a late lunch on a Saturday. It took a few extra minutes to find since I didn't expect for it to be hidden in an industrial complex surrounded by office buildings. After finding the place, I had a few questions about my coupon and order and wanted to speak to someone to no avail. There was no one at front so I tried multiple times to reach out to someone using the Ring. Multiple attempts and no answer. I tried to call the phone number and only got a machine. I eventually gave up and just placed an order. We waited outside for quite a long time especially since nothing needed to be cooked and there were no other customers. Eventually we got notified our order was ready and walked in with nothing on the pick up shelf and again no people. We waited some more and eventually someone brought our order out. For one cup we asked for tamago to be on the side but instead that item was missing completely from that cup and another cup where we didn't ask for any accommodations and instead they removed the tomato. I did like the taste of everything. All the ingredients were really fresh and tasty. I don't think I like the cup concept too much though. It made it hard to eat and the different ingredients didn't mix easily in the cup. I basically ate most of the ingredients in order to prevent things from falling out. It's much more functional in a bowl instead of overflowing out of a cup. So if you come, you might get yummy sushi but make sure you're not in a rush and have plenty of time to wait. Also, if you have any special requests or want to speak to someone, good luck.
