Kiwami sheungshui - Noodles & Sushi / Irvine Location

Saw lots of good reviews and decided to give it a try. Ordered the original fish broth soup with rice noodles. The soup is clear and flavorful. The fish balls and fish cakes are soft and yummy. It also comes with black fungus and bak choy and claim. The seafood broth is good too that it comes with head on shrimp and claim and you can order beef, chicken, tofu or fish as add on. For those who loves fish broth, this is a must try. Will definitely come back and this place doesn't disappoint.

Nice and cozy space with a cute tiny outdoor seating. Overall we liked the food. We only tried sushi and special rolls. The fish was very fresh and their tuna was so good! I would definitely suggest this place. The only issue is the wait time from when you order the food until it gets ready. Also their sushi menu should be more diverse, and they should add the 2 piece option and the prices of each sushi as well.

My girlfriend and I were invited to try this place out, so it was hard to say no! This place is a very casual sit-down that borders on a cafe more than a restaurant. They even have an outdoor enclosed area on the side of the building if you wanted to eat outside.

We were given a selection of foods: Takoyaki, Fish Broth Noodle Soup, Aburi Don, Caterpillar Roll.

The takoyaki had a soft dough that melts in your mouth, which I thought was better than the chewy dough that I've experienced with past takoyaki. It also had some nice chunks of octopus with a sweet unagi (I think?) sauce + house special mayo, which I thought was a nice mix of sauces to give a creamy texture to the fried ball.

The fish broth noodle soup is the star of this place and I've had it at their other location, Sheung Shui, in Lake Forest. First off, the broth is still amazing! It's such a light broth with an amazing seafood taste that you can't get from any place I'm aware of, so I love getting it every now and then. Beware, the broth is so light that eating anything else throws off the taste, so try to eat it all at once or cleanse your palate between bites of food!

The aburi don was probably my favorite item of the night. This rice bowl includes some lightly cooked salmon, unagi, and snow crab. The salmon was super soft and melty, which I thought was odd for a piece of salmon, so my guess was it was salmon belly. Regardless, I really enjoyed the salmon and thought it was insanely tasty. Their unagi is very fresh and has a lot of nice fat on it that makes it just melt in your mouth! Their added house special mayo is definitely a much needed creamy, sweet flavor that helps with how fatty and salty the proteins in the bowl can be.

Last, but not least, we have the caterpillar roll. This roll comes with avocado + crab and is topped with a cut of unagi and tobiko. There's not a lot more to say about this roll that I haven't already described in the other items. The caterpillar roll was very good though and I really enjoyed the avocado and unagi combination!

Craving noodles and sushi? This spot is the best of both world!

Food: We got 2 different sushi, one was an eel roll and the other was tamagoyaki. Both were delicious, but my bf and I were definitely a fan of the eel one. Besides that we got a fish noodle dish which the portion was large and the fish was *chef's kiss*. We also got a seafood soup with sides (forgot what it was called), but it was nostalgic.

Parking: Free parking in plaza

Service: Service was great! Super friendly and attentive

We went to their new location in Irvine. The atmosphere is really great even though the restaurant is not that big. The food is really good. The sashimi plate is wonderful. We would definitely go more often.
