Sushi Suhama marks a new chapter, rooted in the same philosophy that has always guided us.

Sushi Ii is now Sushi Suhama.
Inspired by an ancient Japanese term for a beautiful or picturesque shoreline, Suhama reflects both our Japanese roots and the coastal landscape of Newport Beach we call home.
As we step into this next chapter, we’re honored to share another meaningful part of our evolving identity: internationally renowned artist Hiroshi Sugimoto was commissioned to name Sushi Suhama, and one of his iconic Seascapes will soon become part of the restaurant.
While our name has changed, what defines the experience remains at its heart — seasonality, craftsmanship, traditional Japanese technique and thoughtful hospitality. Under the continued leadership of Chefs Koji Takahashi and Norio Izawa and Director Natsuko Travioli, we also introduce newly refined omakase experiences, each offering a distinct expression of our cuisine.
Six-time MICHELIN Guide-recognized. Rooted in tradition. Evolving with intention.
Welcome to Sushi Suhama.
