Mosun Sushi Saki Bar & Night   

I went here last night with my friend and we put our names in for the dining room. Angela at the front said we'd have to wait at least 30 minutes for a table and instead suggested the overly-crowded, badly-lit sushi bar. We declined and said we'd have a drink at the bar until our table was ready. 10 minutes later, we saw her seat a couple in the DINING ROOM. I asked her why they were seated before us when they came in AFTER us. She said that they had put their name in earlier that evening and had come back, giving them priority. I did not believe her because she was flustered when explaining. I asked her when our table would be ready and she said a few minutes. I went back to the bar and within 5 minutes I saw her seat another group in the dining room! I didn't want to wait anymore so we decided to pay our bar bill and leave. When we were getting up from the bar, she came over and said our table was ready (after she seated 2 groups before us) and I told her thanks, but we're leaving. The smirk on her face was obvious and without saying a word or questioning why we were leaving, she slammed the menus back into their box and attended to the next couple that came up to ask for a table. Angela is a detriment to this restaurant and will surely lose business in the future. She has no idea what customer service is and her high-and-mighty attitude is not well-received by patrons. I won't ever come back to this restaurant. I love sushi and eat out every night of the week, but will take my business elsewhere.

A month before my birthday, I called and made a reservation for 30 ppl at 9pm. When speaking to the manager, I offered to put a deposit to reserve my table and was told it wasn't required. On the day of, I called to confirm the reservation and gave them the heads up that we will all be arriving together in a limo, because their policy, that no one will be seated until your entire party is present. As I was checking in with the hostess, I saw my table given away to another party. Their excuse was, they didn't think we would all arrive on time/together, or show at all!! After threating to take my party else where, the manager finally decided to take us upstairs to the club and wait till a table was ready. He gave us a round of sushi and forced to stand around one small cocktail table in the corner of the club. But that did nothing, as we all were starving and had been waiting for dinner all day. The manager finally offered my party, a table downstairs for dinner at 11pm!!! Absolutely ridiculous. By then, we were no longer interested and sick from drinking on an empty stomach. I ended up leaving shortly after (still hungry and sick from the alcohol), called the following week to speak to the GM (female) and she couldnt have cared less. She did nothing and said she will follow up with her staff and call me back. Its been over six months now and still no follow up. I haven't been back since and will never ever return. I ended up celebrating my belated bday at another sushi restaurant the week after. I was telling my server about my horrific experience from the prior week at Mosun and it just so happens, he use to work there! He said that if customers saw the kitchen, that we would never eat there. GROSS!!! He went into a lot of details about the restaurant and it just confirmed everything that I already felt. Which was, never bringing them anymore business and telling everyone about it. My belated bday celebration was awesome and I hope that this review was helpful. No one deserves to go through this, especially on the night of their birthday.

Love going here. It's the only club in the OC that is trendy yet still comfotable. Great place to go out with friends. The food is good and the bar is even better!

Several locals recommended this place and I thought I would give it a try. It was said that the sushi, the decor, and the atmosphere were famed. I would rate all three at only very average. First, the decor. We were seated at a table by the faux fireplace very near the waterfalls. The water in the waterfall smelled more than slightly sour. I think someone needs to check the chlorine level in that thing. Cobwebs covered the stone wall near our table. . There are several large plasma screen TVs on the walls, which could have been used to add to the atmosphere had they played anime, old kung fu movies, japaneese music videos. Instead: news followed by ESPN. This place is supposed to exude a club-like atmosphere. With everyone staring at the televisions, I thought they may as well have served chicken wings with wet naps. Then there was the service. As a credit to Mosun, everyone in the restaurant seemed to be attentive to us with one exception: our server. She disappeared for long periods of time, did not clear menus or used plates, and was rarely around to offer another glass of wine. Other servers were clearing our plates, and one even collected our check after it sat on the table for 15 minutes. Then there is the sushi itself. We asked our server which rolls she recommended, to which she replied "All of them". We made our selections based on the descriptions on the menu. The descriptions left out one main ingredient that was present in all but one of our rolls: mayonaise. And lots of it. It is my experience that when a sushi chef places mayo on the sushi presentation so thick that it could be mistaken for a layer of cheese, he is trying to hide the quality of the fish. I think that the same it true of Mosun. The mayo and eel sauce was overpowering of all flavors. When scraped off, the fish underneath was substandard and mushy. Go to mosun for drinks, sit away from the water, and for pete's sake ask what fish is fresh and what has mayo!
