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. Sip Japanese beer ...

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, broiled ...

Old Fashioned Japanese Style

I've been at Kitayama several times. A very nice staff and very good food. The only problem is that it is hard to see from Bristol Street and ofoourse, Bristol is on two sides of the freeway, so it is a little difficult to figure out exactly were it is. Once you find it, it's a great place. I find it quiet and confortable and a peaceful eating experience

Easy to get a table for two last minute on a Sat. night. Service was excellent. Food was very good, typical Japanese fair. Shabu shabu and sushi. Nice small booths for couples, very intimate. Lots of families with kids and very open in main section only downside to romantic dinner. Decent Japanese garden. Great bartenders.
Average - but not authentic

Rudest Staff in any Japanese / Sushi Bar ever encountered anywhere in North America
brought to you by

I have been enjoying Sushi restaurants all over North America; including Vancouver BC, Seattle WA, Miami FL, Boston MA, Chicago IL, San Fransisco CA, Los Angeles CA, etc etc, and have been eating Sushi and Sashimi since about 1984 and never in my life have I ever encountered a staff which is so rude. Everyone from the Hostess to the main Sushi chef were void of personality. The Sushi was over-priced ...
