Agedashi Tofu

Agedashi Tofu Dashi Lightly Battered Fried Green Onions Orange County Sushi World OC

We have quite an extensive menu and an item that has been humbly on there forever is our Agedashi Tofu. It's a very simple Japanese dish consisting of lightly battered and fried tofu cubes in a dashi sauce. A little green onion on top and that's about it. Very simple yet tasty. It's a great appetizer to get in between all that sushi you're eating while at Sushi World. Next time you swing by, be sure to look at our whole menu to see if there might be something else you enjoy. If not, always stick to your favorites. And also always check our Specials Board.

Fried Baby Octopus

Fried Baby Octopus Orange County Japanese Sushi Restaurant OC Cypress

Iitako Karaage! It's such a simple appetizer that we love! Fried Baby Octopuses (or octopi, octopodes, all are acceptable!). We started this appetizer out on our Specials Board but it quickly became a very popular item so now it's officially on our menu. It's simply some baby octopi lightly battered and then fried to perfection. It's great to much on between all the sushi you'll be eating at Orange County's best sushi bar! And if you have a knack for Octopus, you can also get Tako in either nigiri or sashimi and also our Tako Wasa in both raw and cooked versions.

Snow Crab Tempura

Snow Crab Leg Meat Tempura Fried Appetizer Sushi World Orange County OC

You should always check the Specials Board at Sushi World, especially if you're looking for something new. If you enjoy Tempura Shrimp and Tempura Veggies, you should really try out our Snow Crab Tempura. It's pretty much exactly how it sounds. 10 pieces of Snow Crab leg meat battered and fried in tempura. If an item on our Specials Board is popular enough, we tend to add it to our regular menu. So it's up to you. Let us know when one of our Specials Board item really hits the spot for you.

Jellyfish Salad

Orange County Sushi Jellyfish Salad Appetizer Cypress Anaheim OC Fresh

Don't be jelly of all of our appetizers! We have many traditional appetizers but we also have a few that we have concocted from various items from the sea, like this here Jellyfish Salad. It has a very unique taste and texture so if you're feeling adventurous, give it a try! It's good to mix it up every now and then with something completely different. We definitely enjoy this appetizer with some beer and/or sake. We call it a salad but it's hardly a salad in terms of greens.

Fried Aji -Sushi World

Fried Aji Japanese Mackerel Ponzu Sauce Appetizer Best Happy Hour Orange County OC Sushi World

During our Happy Hour, you can get 2 pieces of Fried Aji for $3.99. Fried Aji is a Japanese Mackerel, breaded and fried to perfection. We serve it with a side of ponzu sauce if you'd like to dip it. What's nice about our Fried Aji is that they come with a little handle, their tails! You can hold on to them and just take a bite. There are no bones so you don't have to worry about that. This items along with 7 other appetizers are all on our Happy Hour menu for $3.99 which is all day on Mondays & Tuesdays and on all other weekdays from 2pm till 5pm.

Salmon Carpaccio - Low Carbs

Truffle Salmon Carpaccio Low Carb No-Carb Cypress Orange County OC Sushi World

You want to lose weight and cut down on carbs. Gotta look sexy for the beach, Halloween costume, reunion, jealous ex. That doesn't mean you can't still come by and enjoy our restaurant. We have many, many low-carb or no-carb options. We even have brown rice, if you so desire. A low-carb (possibly no-carb) favorite is our Salmon Carpaccio. So delicious on so many levels, your taste buds won't be sure how to react. Just tell them to calm the hell down and just enjoy it. It tastes good and it won't break your diet.

Shrimp Tempura

Shrimp Tempura Cypress Roll Strawberries Shrimp Orange County OC Sushi World OC

Shrimp Tempura is such a simple item that we use in many, many other items. To start, they are the center of many of our sushi rolls, like our Shrimp Tempura Roll, Cypress Roll, Jungle Fever Roll, Snowman Roll, Crunchy Roll, Red Dragon Roll, and our White Dragon Roll. It's also featured in our Tempura Udon Soup and our Curry Udon! While we use it a lot in other dishes, don't forget you can always get them on their own as as appetizer. It is very kid-friendly.
