ABOUT US ..

Buddha’s Favorite Sushi sits secretly tucked away on the docks in Newport Beach. The outdoor dining atmosphere is casual, with a softly lit, romantic patio overlooking the bay, while our sushi bar inside is lively authentic experience. Our menu offers a wide range of Japanese appetizers, sushi and entrees, including our popular Yoshi’s Spring Roll and Backflip Roll. Every dish from our kitchen is made from the freshest ingredients and family recipes all the way from Yoshi’s mom’s restaurant in Japan. Providing the highest quality sushi is our priority and in order to do so we have fish flown in from all over the world daily.
