    Long time diner, first time reviewer. Their sushi is generally good, although a bit on the pricey side. I did not like their Agedashi Dōfu because they make it different from most places where I've had it. The tofu is supposed to be served in sauce or broth. But theirs is all dry and did not come with enough sauce or broth to dip into, so the flavor was a little off for me. The rolls are decent. Personally I think they're packed with too much rice. The Poke Salad did not have a very generous amount of sashimi compared to other sushi restaurants. The restaurant itself is kind of small so the seating space makes me feel a bit claustrophobic.

    Chubby Sushi & Ramen is a great place to stop in for casual dining. This place is fully decorated with a whole bunch of stuff, it was a bit anxiety-provoking. We ordered the Chubby Sashimi ($65) to share between two people. The sashimi tasted fresh, but the sweet shrimp head was not deep fried enough so parts of the shell was not edible. I didn't like that it didn't come with rice. Service was just okay. They never once refilled our waters and both of our glasses were empty before we even finished our meal. Overall, this place was not bad but not great.

    Food here was fresh and well prepared. Services were great. We ordered the chirashi, dragon roll and salmon with crab and asparagus.

    The Chubby Roll is my favorite. This order is enough for a meal, in fact, I took the last piece home because I couldn't finish it. And I couldn't bare to waste good food by throwing it away. The only thing I would change is that I felt rushed, constantly being asked to order. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and chalk it up to attentiveness, but it was borderline pushy.

    Quite possibly the best lunch deal out there! For about $17-22, you can get a three course lunch. For people like me who can't decide, this is amazing. I went with the tonkatsu ramen, nigiri sushi and tempura for about $22. My buddy ordered very similarly and we split the seared bluefin tuna with asparagus appetizer. Everything was pretty good, but have had better across the board. If it were for lunch combo, I would have given 5 stars because it's rare to get these types of options with this level of quality. I do wonder if the nigiri or other items would be better if not part of the lunch special. I guess we will have to find out for dinner because there is no way I wouldn't order the lunch again if it's offered!

    Really cute spot in Brea with a cozy, inviting interior We tried a variety of items including the pink lady roll, yellowtail with jalapeño, tuna bone marrow, chubby sashimi, chubby angel roll, mixed tempura, and miso ramen. Everything came out fresh and well prepared. The rolls were flavorful without being overpowering, and the sashimi was thiccck and high quality. The bone marrow was especially rich and buttery and stood out as a unique dish. The tempura was light and crispy, and the ramen was warm and comforting so perf way to finish the meal Service was good and the food came out at a steady pace. Overall, a solid spot if you're in the area and craving sushi and ramen in one place. Would definitely return!!

    5/22/26 Chubby Sushi & Ramen Brea, CA...Came here with a couple peeps to Celebrate a late Mother's Day! We had so many items! We started off with a salmon asparagus appetizer roll. We also ordered 3 more rolls as a main course including Chubby high protein, Chubby Angel, and Brea rolls. Our main Sushi course was the Chubby Bowl. We also added Crab and Baked Scallop rolls! Everything was so good!!! Service was excellent! Place was clean and inviting! It looks like the lunch time crowd is pretty good as well. Parking is free in the area behind which is 2 hours, behind and south is 3 hours, or if you park in the structure even more south there is no limit. Come enjoy this place when you can!

    2nd time here in 3 years & it does not disappoint! The prices are fairly reasonable, fish is fresh & everything in all was tasty. Our server was attentive & also didn't rush us when it was a busy Sunday on memorial weekend. Love the decor in the restaurant! Everything we ate was so good - we wanted quality, not quantity! This is a good go-to sushi spot to get your fix if you don't want AYCE.

    The Chubby Sashimi is a must--its refined presentation is just the start, loaded with luxury bites like uni, chu toro, sweet shrimp, and more. First time trying tuna marrow, and wow--each bite was juicy, fresh, and so rich. The tuna nachos, yellowtail with jalapeño, and Chubby Roll hit all our fusion cravings. Absolutely love their creativity and unique twists. Finished off with a warm bowl of ramen--perfect for a full belly, and yes, kid approved too! IG: socalhkfoodies

    If you're in Orange County, specifically downtown Brea and you haven't tried this spot, you're definitely missing out. Once I tried their sushi for the first time, they quickly became one of my favorites in OC. They fly their fish in every Friday and you can literally taste the freshness. Over the times I've visited, I've tried basically the whole menu but a couple in particular are my favorites. I always start off with the Blue crab appetizer that's wrapped with salmon on the outside and asparagus. Their sushi rolls are all solid here--I can't recommend the signature Chubby roll enough. And if you're feeling adventurous, they even have Tuna bone marrow shots which are actually such a nice palate cleanser! And, of course, the star of the show is the Chubby sashimi platter. Each piece is thiccc and melts in your mouth and even comes with sweet shrimp and uni. This spot is genuinely a 10/10, so if you haven't tried it, like I said, you're definitely missing out! Thanks for reading! ^-^

    This was my husband and I's first time trying the Chubby Sushi! We came at a perfect time for dinner because it wasn't too busy yet. We sat at the sushi bar which was fine as we got to see behind the scenes of sushi making. We got the Brea roll, the 20 piece sushi and a bottle of sake. The fish was nice and fresh. The service was great as we were always checked on. The restaurant itself had a nice vibe to it. Not too loud but also looked liked everyone was having a good time. I will definitely coming back to eat here again!

    Came here recently and it ended up being one of the better sushi meals I've had in a while. The fish tasted incredibly fresh and you can tell they care about quality. The bluefin tuna was the highlight for me. It had that rich, buttery texture that just melts when you eat it. We ordered a few rolls along with some sushi and everything was really well done. The rolls were flavorful but not overloaded with sauces, which I always appreciate because you can actually taste the fish. The portions were also really solid. We also tried ramen and it was great for sharing. Warm, comforting, and full of flavor. It's nice when a place does both sushi and ramen well instead of just focusing on one. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe was casual and welcoming. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving good sushi.

    Last Wednesday night... I decided to hit up another sushi place called Chubby Sushi & Ramen. Located in Downtown Brea. It's known for their sushi and ramen. I came here and it wasn't that busy. Seated right away!!! I've ordered some delicious sushi and some rolls. First off is the app... salmon with blue crab (4pc) Next up is some tasty sushi.... bluefin tuna (2 pc) and A5 japanese wagyu (2 pc). Then it's chubby ninja roll, and a roll that's named after this town called Brea roll. Sounds fun, right??? Oh, a Alaskan roll. For all those goodies, Presentation is quite nice. Looks fresh. I think the best item I've tried here is their wagyu sushi. Tastes heavenly good. It's $24.99 for that though. Crazy expensive, but who doesn't love A5 wagyu meat??! All other items are delicious too, but can't top the wagyu sushi. Not much to say about anything else...but will try the ramen next time. Overall.... this is a good place to those who's in Brea. Will be back soon...

Sometimes they can have a long wait, but that proves that they are great at their craft. Not only do they serve ramen, but they also offer rice bowls if you aren't in the mood for something soupy.

Ages ago, during Titan-con, the anime/nerd convention run by the college, my friends and I decided to grab some ramen here. I could barely fit in the car since I couldn't take the Oda Nobunaga hat off of my head without taking off the wig, so that was a very hilarious memory. We came slightly before the weekend lunch rush so we didn't have to wait, but I can see this place getting super busy and fisted. There's bar counter seating (which we got) that surrounds the entire kitchen area and a decent amount of tables, but knowing people's love for ramen, and how a lot of the OC is a hellscape, it can get quite fisted. Service was friendly and welcoming, being in such a busy area and near a college, I'm sure staff have seen and experienced much more and polite people in cosplay weren't too much of a shock. I got their Aka Ramen which is made from kara (spicy) miso. Comes with 2 pieces of chashu and a seasoned soft boiled egg. I'm not a fan of beansprouts, so I made sure to donate this to a friend. Nice rich miso broth, and like many Japanese restaurant places (that don't have the ability to super build and customize), it has a slight heat, but not super spicy in the slightest. Noodles are thin style and had a nice texture to it that went well with the broth. Overall, not bad.

Our server wasn't very personable but also not rude or terrible. I felt a little rushed even with a small menu. Being that I had never been there before, I wasn't sure what to get so I pretty much just blurted out whatever. What we ordered: 1) Black deluxe chicken paitan with pork - the broth was so tasty, it was absolutely delicious. The pork slices were generous, however, it was DRY. 2) Pork chashu - for my kid. They loved the broth as well and also felt that the pork slices were dry. I wanted to give 4 out of 5 stars, but I am going to hand them a 3. I loved the tasty broth, but the pork was too dry. How could you mess that up as a ramen restaurant? The portions looked a little smaller than what I am used to paying for much less money. That photo of my black deluxe chicken paitan with pork is very deceiving. It looks like a lot, but it definitely wasn't. I usually can't finish my bowl of ramen in one sitting and take the other half home. I barely had any broth in there, and being that the broth was very good, I was disappointed to run out of it before I was even done with the noodles and meat. Would I return? Sure. I liked the food. It's not a place I would go out of my way to eat at, but if I was around the neighborhood and wanted ramen, I would dine there again.
