    Service is really nice, when I there no wait at all, food is really decent, ambiance is cozy and cool. Service 8/10 but they bring other table food to our table twice Food 7/10 but because of incident -2 so 5/10 I put 5 because I don't want to be mean there was hair in my dish, and it happed twice, in two different dishes If it happens one time it understandable but twice, I lost my appetite after that. Ambiance is 8/10 good if you looking for a date Price is decent not too bad for 2 people

    Came for AYCE Sushi with the Sashimi upgrade. Food and service good. But the restaurant felt very cold, and moved to another table that was not directly under the vent. Ordering is via an iPad at the table and the kitchen have it out after a nominal wait time. The only thing the iPad does not show is what orders placed have come out already. Also near the restrooms is a photo wall of past victors and unsuccessful challengers for their 100 pieces sushi in under 30 minutes challenge. The famous Raina was victorious here. Fish quality is good. The sashimi tasted and looked fresh. My brother did most of the ordering for the table and I didn't have any complaints. The standout for me is the quality of the tempura items that were served. Who ever made them in the kitchen is a pro, since the batter is not excessively thick and the tail of the shrimp tempura has that distinctive sign of a seasoned craftsman. I also ordered the Donkotsu Ramen towards the end of the meal, it was decent for a restaurant that does not specialize in ramen (but omitting bean sprouts or cutting back on the portion would have made it better). Salmon Oyako, Hamachi Jalapeno and Soft Shell Crab Tempura were the highlight of the meal. Truffle Unagi Sashimi tasted good, but the prevention was different from the photo on the menu (no separation at all between the pieces). Not sure how my brother found this restaurant, but I have a feeling it was Raina's eating challenge on Instagram that pop Aburi Sushi up on his radar. 5/5

    Additional $2.00 and $1.00 dollar charges even though you're paying for AYCE.

    I presented here last night for dinner and enjoyed my meal for the most part. However, the ordering system has changed from a simple sheet of paper and pencil to a tablet you use yourself. I was a little disappointed with the electronic vs. paper approach, and my orders kept coming out differently in appearance than what the menu featured. In my opinion, part of the dining experience is being catered to, which includes having a server come to take your order--not taking the order yourself. Additionally, I paid slightly over $110 for two all-you-can-eat meals. This price was driven up by an extra $11 charge per person, which included the restaurant's premium and sashimi options. However, even after paying the additional $11 per person, not every item on the menu was included. There were still a few items that required an additional charge. I would have thought that if I'm paying over $50 per person, I would have access to the entire menu. A few final thoughts that left me a little disappointed this time around compared to prior visits: 1. You're only allowed 90 minutes for your visit. This includes the time it takes to bring out each round of food. 2. After you place your order, you're temporarily locked out from ordering additional items. So, be sure you get everything you want with each round of food. 3. Be prepared to pay additional fees for premium and sashimi options, and keep in mind that the upgrade still doesn't include desserts or certain other menu items. 4. If you leave the screen stagnant for too long without adding additional items or placing your order, the tablet will erase your entire selection, and you'll have to start all over again. I would have left a 5 star review prior to this visit, and I really think the food here is phenomenal. It's just the change in the ordering system, the timed dining experience, and the archaic tablet left me with a poorer taste in my mouth. Lastly, I might add that all the staff did a great job in bringing out our orders & clearing the table promptly.

    Food: We chose the Sashimi Premium AYCE option, which was about $46 pp on the weekend. I found the price quite affordable considering how much sashimi we ate. Some of our favorites were the fatty cuts (salmon, tuna, and yellowtail belly), the halibut, jumbo scallops, uni, soft-shell crab tempura, and the unique truffle unagi sashimi combo. I left with a very happy and very full stomach! Service: Excellent! Christian was very helpful and attentive. He noticed when our drinks and condiments needed refills even before we did. Ambiance: Clean and modern with a huge and interesting Japanese wall art piece.

    As always, the experience here was good. If you come during dinner time, you may experience a bit of a wait since the waitlist can get pretty long. I did notice that they now have an option to join the waitlist ahead of time instead of having to waitlist in person, which might be more convenient and even cut down the wait time. We always get the Sashimi Premium AYCE, and they still have the iPad/tablet ordering system. There were a few times when some of our orders were missed, but if that happens, you can always call a server over to help, especially if it's a premium item. The sashimi was delicious--nice and thick-cut, fresh-tasting, and had a good chew to it. Our favorite cuts were definitely the belly cuts, as it is a little fattier. I also noticed that they seem to rotate through some of their appetizers and rolls, as the appetizer section has changed compared to the last few times I've been here. It was nice to see some different options this time around. Overall, it's still been a consistently good spot for AYCE sushi and sashimi, and I've continued coming back since my first visit.

    Great AYCE sushi spot with fresh sashimi included!!! (We picked the AYCE dinner + sashimi deal) The sashimi was fresh, and there was a nice variety of premium sushi, skewers, tempura, mussels, and soft-shell crab. We ended the meal with fried Oreos and ice cream, which was the perfect sweet treat. Definitely a great value for the quality and selection. Would come back for sure! IG: socalhkfoodies

    One of my favorite AYCE sushi spots! There is a great selection of dishes even doing the non-sashimi and I would heavily recommend maxing out your premium sushi dishes like the salmon belly and yellowtail belly. Their ratio of fish to rice was really good, however, there were some rounds where the rice seemed undercooked so it didn't bind together well. Some non-premium dishes that were good were the shishito peppers, seared salmon nigiri, and crispy rice spicy salmon. Service was somewhat busy on the weekends so I would definitely order your dishes 15-20 min beforehand to keep a good pace.

    I came with my friend on a sunday around 4pm & was seated shortly after as it wasn't that busy inside. The restaurant has plenty of tables but some tables seemed too close. For example, a worker had to squeeze in between the middle tables almost fell over & I had to squeeze to get out when I went to restroom. They have cool wall art all over the restaurant and nice air conditioning inside which was nice on a hot day! I like how everything's on the ipad where you can order drinks to all foods except sauces you'll need to ask your server which ours was barely around at all. I got spicy mayo & eel sauce on the side as well as sriracha that was the guy accidentally poured into the bowl. I love their ginger & all of their nigiri but wish they give you more on the premium nigiri. You get 2 pieces max for those which sucks. We were checked on once & no one came to refill our waters until we were almost done which I found funny because I saw a few servers refilling other tables near us. In the last 40 minutes of our meal, I ordered 1 salmon lover roll to finish off but the restaurant filled up almost full so I had to wait almost the whole time for it after I asked a server who said it's on the next ticket but then I saw 3 other tables get their food who came long after us so I asked again to get it checked & it came 10 minutes later. They were quick to give us the bill to pay out though but expected better service overall with the amount of workers they had. Overall, quality was good rating 7.8/10 for the food. Dinner time was around $35 before tax per person. It's unfortunate that they have their weekday lunch price promotion on weekdays only.

    I usually love AYCE sushi, but our dining experience at Aburi Sushi in Buena Park was an absolute disaster. We were seated outside on the patio, and the service was incredibly bizarre and frustrating. The servers were super quiet, and we constantly kept getting the incorrect orders brought out to us, and lots of missing orders. When we brought this up, one server mentioned that the staff is supposed to be telling us the names of the dishes as they place them at our table--but not a single server actually did this. To make matters worse, one girl serving us sounded completely high and spoke so softly we couldn't hear a word she said, while another male server angrily grabbed the patio door and flung it open right next to us. Worst of all, the hygiene here is a major concern. We found hair on our sushi rolls. Between the completely checked-out, aggressive service and the hair in our food, this was a terrible experience. Save your money and go somewhere else in Buena Park.

    I got AYE dinner and found their table order tablet easy to order except the salmon collar was $1 extra but since the way it's categorized I didn't realize even though it's labeled $1. It's fried to a crisp on one side. Too crispy for me But everything is was amazing. Food came promptly except miso soup was delayed due to batch making. Inside it's modern and light wood color. Playing 90's and early 2000 music Would come again

    Brought my whole family here to celebrate my son's birthday. Everyone love the food and the service was excellent! This place is crowded even on a weekday and we were seated right away . Place is still clean and food served hot and fresh. My family would like to come back again soon!!

    My family and I have been going to Aburi sushi for more than a year now every time we craved sushi. We love their small portion size which allowed us to try more varieties before getting full. We also really love their carpaccio and limited order premium sushi. However, we noticed their nigiris were more filled with rice now and the staff doesn't seem as welcoming as before. The waiting time for appetizer also took a lot longer than usual to come out. Furthermore, while we can not pinpoint exactly if Aburi was the reason, but my mom and my sister did end up getting really painful stomachache two hours after eating sushi here up until the next morning. Overall, we still enjoy Aburi but we are more hesitant going just based on the fact that some of us got sick after eating here.

    Great price around the area with quality food. I got the $34.99 ayce dinner/weekend deal for my sister and I, there's also a premium $39.99 sashimi ayce price. Came like 10-15 minutes before they opened at 11:30am incase the wait got bad and we were first but the line grew quick closer to opening time. I would recommend going right when they open and placing your order on the table tablets ASAP because after like 30-40 minutes of the restaurant opening, their kitchen was backed up and it took a lot longer to get our food. I love that there's a special section for no-rice options for people trying to cut carbs. There's plenty options to choose from! Overall would come back when it opens or a weird off time. Parking is ample in a quiet shopping center.

    thats not real sweet shrimp, no head. but the belly pieces are good, very small and rice is hard and cold af

    Ask the Community - Aburi Sushi

    Can I sign up for the 100 piece sushi challenge?

    From what I gathered when we inquired about it. There is a waiting list. A long one in fact

    Does the restaurant allow single diners?

    They do.

    Do they have seared peppered salmon?

    Yes, our seared salmon has lemon pepper seasoning.

    Would you say this place is better than X-Fish Izakaya (Buena Park) Which one is more worth?

    As someone who has been to both, i have to say Aburi is SO MUCH better!!! No competition. Right now for the month of december it's 30$ for AYCE. Can't beat that! Also X fish has awful service sadly and if your server is laggy at X fish, you won't be… 

    Do they accept cash?

    Yes

    How's the quality AYCE Sashimi here compare to the HB AYCE Sushi? Is this restaurant good for group or 12 to 14 people?

    It's about the same quality. Service is probably faster here. You will do great w a group that big. Tbh I haven't been back to HB ayce since coming here. I do miss the birthday music tho

    Do they take reservations if I call ahead?

    No we do not, it is first come first serve!

    Plan to go with friends and I would like to have $9.99 option for AYCE Sashimi and Carpaccio. Is it requried everyone to add the $9.99 option?

    Yes, everyone that is seated with you has too

    Hi Can I ask that if I eat ayce when I order any round how many pieces sushi and sashimi can I order ?…

    If you get the extra 9.99 option for AYCE Sashimi and Carpaccio, you can order unlimited amount of any sushi, carpaccio and sashimi. Just make sure to finish everything as we charge for leftovers!

    Is every person that sits down at a table charged for all you can eat? My bf is joining me but he doesn't like fish and isn't going to eat but I want to enjoy the all you can eat but I don't want both of us to be charged. Does anyone know the policy?

    Every one that sits does not have to get ayce, I just went a couple months ago.

    How do you do the 100-piece challenge? The booking link on Instagram claims there's no openings at all.

    We are unfortunately booked out for the entire year! We will open 2025 openings later on in the year. Thank you!

    How many people can participate in the 100 piece challenge?

    1 or 2

    Can i just walk in and do the 100 piece challenge or do i have to do the booking on their instagram link?

    Booking the 100 piece challenge is initiated through the restaurant. There is a few weeks wait because of the challenge popularity...

    Is AYCE available when you open at 11am or until 2pm?

    I believe it's available all day! Enjoy!

    How much is the 100 piece challenge with a friend of you fail?

    100

    Hello! Are prices different for kids?

    I'll be honest with you, I went with my 10 month old baby so my bill was only for 2 adults which was $39.99

    Can one order AYCE sashimi independent of AYCE sushi? Can you order AYCE sashimi only with a couple rolls, for example? at the $9.99 price per person, or is it more?

    In order to do AYCE Sashimi, you have to have the 39.99 AYCE and do the 10 dollar add on for a total of 49.99 for the AYCE sushi with the AYCE sashimi add on

    Does anyone know the restaurant's number? I had a question on whether or not, when dining with two or more people, is there an option to have AYCE and a la carte ordering together for the same table/party?

    Hello, our number is 714-828-1260. Yes, you guys can do a-la-carte and ayce at the same table. If the table chooses AYCE, everyone must choose the same option of AYCE (Everyone must get Regular AYCE or everyone must get AYCE Sashimi). Thank you!

    This place is marked as having outdoor seating. Is the patio still available for seating?

    Hi, we have our patio open on fri-sun! patios are closed on weekdays due to limited number of staff. Thank you!

    What is current weekday lunch price? Many of same questions are asked in 2021.

    $32.99 until 4pm

The katsu was incredibly tender and practically melted in my mouth. I also highly recommend trying the katsu with the salt and wasabi they give you on the plate. It's completely different from eating it with the usual tonkatsu sauce, but in the best way. The salt and wasabi really bring out the flavor of the meat, and I ended up enjoying it way more than I expected. The portions were also really generous, especially for such a reasonable price. A special shoutout to the manager, Chris! He greeted us warmly, recommended different items, and was super friendly and professional throughout our visit. He definitely made our experience even better. Great food, big portions, reasonable prices, and amazing service. I would definitely come back again!

The udon noodles must be made in-house because I've never had udon this chewy before. Perfectly al dente with an incredible texture--honestly, the noodles alone are worth coming back for. The jumbo katsu was also delicious - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and definitely lived up to its name. Simple menu, but everything feels intentional and well-executed. Sometimes you really don't need a huge menu when you know what you're doing.

The meat was very tender, and the sides and dipping sauces were tasty and complemented the meat really well. Everything came out quickly and was nicely presented. SERVICE: Service was pretty straightforward. They weren't extra friendly, but they were very attentive and helpful when needed. Our server instructed me to keep putting meat on the grill because otherwise the fire would go out quicker, and when it did eventually go out, they were very quick to come over and relight it. Ordering was also super easy through the iPad at each table. AMBIANCE: The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. We walked in around noon on a Sunday and there were plenty of available tables. There's also a good amount of parking, and we had no trouble finding a spot. Overall, we had a solid experience and I'm so happy I finally got to try this spot! The tender meat, tasty sides, quick service, and easy ordering process made this a solid Japanese BBQ spot.
