We got here all the time! The San clement roll is delicious and I love the sashimi. The spicy tuna crispy rice is also a good choice. Service is quick, the wait is never too long. The restaurant is a little small but it does the job. Perfect place to pop into!

Good sushi and nice people. Nothing wrong with the place at all. Get the Koba Clemente.

Best sushi in San Clemente. Get the Koba Koba and the yellowtail carpatio. I also love the pork potstickers and the miso soup.

I cannot stress this enough, the sushi is fantastic. The service is so great and timely on-top of the great location, it's quiet and laid back and really relaxing.

Very good quality food. I highly recommend their Koba koba role and their garlic edamame. Their bathroom is rundown and dirty. Management: spend some money and fix your bathroom. You are not in Cleveland!

The best sushi in SC that I've had! Service is always great when I'm there. The ambiance is typically always busy most nights but it's nice insane!

This is a sushi restaurant that our friends recommended. However, for some reason, every time we went, it was closed. This time, we finally went at the right hour (lunch 12-2pm on Thursday) and we were not disappointed. The sushi dishes we ordered were very well made, although portions were not large. We ordered a rainbow roll, sushi combo and two nigiri (amberjack and perch). All of them are fresh and delicious. Don't let the humble looking store front fool you. This is the best sushiya in the neighborhood.

the fiiiiish... the service...the vibesss - it was amazing We frequent San Clemente a couple times out of the year and have our favorite spots we go everytime. We were looking for something new and saw the positive reviews on yelp and had to stop by on our way home. The parking is horrible. The lot is tiny with very limited spots and the street parking is in a busy area very dimly lit. It was a packed house when we walked in, but got lucky yo snag 2 seats at the bar. There are a lot of options and honestly everything was got was so good and fresh. I would sick the seaweed salad (I was expecting Hmart.. not harvest from the ocean lol). We met some really nice people dining next to us, the restaurant is dark and moody with delicious food. Overall, it's safe to say - we will be back.

Was surprised to see that I had not reviewed 9 Style in the past. We have not been many times, but enough for me to do a review. We knew about 9 Style for a long time, but we were devoted to Takao for many years until it closed in the past couple years. The kid was home from college and since she can't afford sushi, she made us take her out to indulge on our dime. That was cool, the wife and I were in the mood for some sushi as we had not munched on some raw fish recently. We got there on Saturday before NYE exactly as the doors opened and that was a good thing. In fact, the wife jumped out of the car and ran in while the kid and I searched for parking. We found a spot and then had to claw our way through the line that had formed to get a table or more likely get on a list for a table. The place is just small. I mean really small. The wife had secured a table and I was surprised they seated her before we were in the place. We ordered a large Asahi beer and the kid ordered a miso soup and me the seaweed salad. By this time the place was full except for a table with a "reserved" placard**. The seaweed salad and soup came quickly and we then ordered some food. The Sophie Roll for the kid and the wife and I ordered the soft shell crab roll, and tuna, salmon, yellow tail and octopus sushi. I love seaweed salad and this one was unique. I don't really know why seaweed salad is always expensive, but I guess there are not a lot of seaweed farmers to compete against, so the price is high. Anyhoo, the uniqueness was the combo of seaweed, daikon radish and cucumber. Most seaweed salads I have had were mostly seaweed. This was different and I really liked it a lot. Finally mixed all the flavors together and it was delicious! Sorry no pics but other reviews show it. The rolls and sushi came and they were all good. Salmon had a bit too much sauce or citrus and green onions, which to me says it's not super fresh. The octopus was very good, not chewy and thinly sliced. The soft shell crab roll was OK, as the crab was deep fried in a mountain of breading. I prefer a lightly fried crab in the roll to let the soft shell crab flavors come through. Don't need to try that one again. To wrap things up we ordered another tall Asahi and a spicy tuna roll to share. The wife ordered her favorite sushi "dessert" of a shrimp tempura hand roll and I ordered my "dessert" of a salmon skin hand roll. The spicy tuna roll was fine, nothing special. The wife had the same comment about the shrimp tempura hand roll. On the other hand, the salmon skin hand roll (that took a while) came and as a bonus there was a little pile of broiled salmon skin pieces on the side. The roll and the side pieces were very good, one of the favorites ones I have ever eaten. The service overall was very good and several different people helped or brought food. All seemed happy and nice. Go. Eat Well. HAVE FUN! **The people that reserved the table for 5pm (opening time) arrived at about 5:15pm. By that time the table had been given away, as the 9 style rules are reservations held for 10 minutes. The late family was not happy and were told they could wait for a table, likely 45-60 minutes. Ooops. Be on time if you make a reservation here!!

this little place is not much to look at from the outside, but it is so cute on the inside, it's small like most sushi houses. But the service is fantastic . We enjoyed many of their sushi the yellow tail was amazing. The bluefin tuna was my favorite, the salmon and the barbecue deal top-notch. We also had a San Clemente roll which we really enjoyed. However, we tried the Sophie roll. Unfortunately it had zero flavor and it had this very strange garlic butter consistency on top, which made it very difficult to finish. I always like to try in every sushi place we go to their crispy rice and I have to say, theirs is delicious. They have a $15 corkage fee (not bad at all ) we brought one of our favorite sakes . There's parking right out front or on the street ... this is a very busy sushi house. People actually waiting out front to get a table or sit at the bar.
