Business Description from the Web

This charming restaurant is a little bit of Japan in Newport Beach. Glass walls and high ceilings give it a very open, airy feeling. The clientele comes for this as well as for the food. There is a sushi bar where you can sit, or you can get comfortable in the main dining room while you are served beautiful dishes like fresh fish, Japanese rice and vegetables, and delicious soups.

Kitayama may well be as close to Japan as one can get on these shores.

Kitayama brings nature inside with panoramic views of its private gardens. Modern Japanese lamps and Breuer chairs juxtapose hip design with the waitress' kimonos in the sushi bar and the three tatami rooms. Traditional Japanese offerings include sukiyaki, teriyaki and tempura. A la carte items include crab chawanmushi, a hot custard with fresh crab and shitake mushrooms, or beef shiso rolls,... more

The food here is pretty good. The decor is pretty amazing and they have real tatami rooms for groups of people to eat at. I love that the waitresses wear pretty kimonos.

A Horrible Experience. These people there and especially managment are apparently ANTI-American, RUDE, ARGUMENTATIVE AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT THEY MAY SPIKE YOUR FOOD WITH. If you go - do not turn your back on them. No more "Pearl Harbor" style sneak attacks again for me thank you. Twice was enough, as there are so many other fine Japanese restuarnatns and their employees that really enjoy... more

Six adults visited this landmark restaurant for dinner. The restaurant has a nice glass walled garden that imitates the famous Ryoanji Temple rock garden. All great. But you cannot eat the gravels from the garden. The food is mediocre to downright poor quality, especially viewed from the high price they charge. For example, their featured Seafood Miso Nabe contained microscopic amount of... more
