Konpa Nikkei

This place is AMAZING!! We got the Aji and Nikkei peruvian poke bowls, both of which were so flavorful and filling but clean and healthy at the same time. The sashimi was so fresh and buttery. I was surprised at how tasty the quinoa was too!! We brought our poke bowls to go to Inspiration Point by the beach. The perfect view with delicious food. 💛💛 It was so good that we left the bowl empty and clean.

This place is absolutely phenomenal! I’m so happy to see that it’s opened and here in town. The qualities is rich. It’s soft. The salmon melted in my mouth. The bowl was delicious. Very well curated perfect amount of greens. I asked for that chili sauce on the side and it was phenomenal too. Everything was very quick service at the bar very personal. It was very clean. I will definitely be back every single week trying something new. I treated my stuff to a couple of other hand roll options and they absolutely loved it too.

Konpa Nikkei is heaven in Corona Del Mar. The space is intentionally designed with a long, welcoming bar that encourages conversation and connection. You feel it right away in the way the team works—talented, warm, and proud to serve some of the freshest, butteriest fish I’ve had in a long time. Finally, something truly unique in the heart of CDM. I started with the escabeche spice pickled carrots and onions—perfect crunch, bright flavor, fresh and addictive. Then came the life-changing pickles, and they really lived up to their name. Layered with ginger and a sprinkle of ume plum, every bite had depth and balance. For entrées, the coliflor was a standout. A bed of greens topped with Japanese mushrooms, Latin squash, and a medley of vegetables that brought spice, richness, and comfort. I

You absolutely need to try this restaurant!! This is the best quality fish in Orange County. We ordered online for pick up because we would be arriving close to when they closed, but when we arrived Chris welcomed us to sit and enjoy our food there. The service was great — Chris was very attentive to us & so kind. They get daily shipments of fish, nothing is ever frozen. The miso soup & pickles were so full of flavor. We can’t wait to come back (probably today…). 100000/10!!!!

5 star experience and quality at Corona Del Mar’s newest fish spot. Japanese + Peruvian + Hawaiian flavors with very fresh fish. Fair prices and portions. Food was light but filling. Tucked just off of PCH and conveniently has a parking lot in the back. Manager, Drew, was friendly and knowledgeable about all the food which was helpful for it being our first visit here. Easily a 5/5 - we will definitely be back!
