Another amazing hidden gem in Whittier, shoutout to my partner for finding this spot! The wait was relatively long on a Friday night, but totally worth it! We order 3 rolls and two hand rolls and one sashimi. Everything was absolutely delicious. We usually prefer sashimi but this place will definitely be our go to when craving rolls! Service was great as well. read more

Love this local sushi place, never too busy and the food comes out quick and it's so good. Haven't had a roll here I didn't like. A good regular spot for sure! read more

E Sushi - Menu - Japanese Near Me - Whittier, California

I sat at the sushi bar and started with miso soup, which came out piping hot and was absolutely delicious--perfect for a rainy day. I then ordered the Andy Special, Rainbow Roll, Jalapeño Yellowtail Sashimi, and Red Snapper Sashimi, all of which were fantastic! As a surprise, the sushi chef also served us albacore sashimi on the house. I didn't expect it, but I'm so glad I got to try another dish. I highly recommend this spot! read more

I came back for a second time while I was in town visiting from Arizona. I remembered my experience was magical the first time and my second time did not disappoint. The sashimi was so fresh and I absolutely loved the blue fin tuna. The edamame was a great tasting starter dish and the lobster roll was better than most sushi places I've had. It was nice to see the familiar faces of the owners, John and Amy. I can tell that they are inviting as they build and cherish the relationships with their customers. While I was dining, I noticed that they personally greeted a lot of the customers and knew the names of all their regulars. It felt like this little gem isn't just a restaurant, but a home away from a home. Highly recommend for anyone in the area craving sashimi. read more

My partner and I visited eSushi on Jan 17, 2026. We visit this restaurant a few times/year, sometimes with another couple, and very much enjoy the food. However, more recently, the waitresses have begun to wear very revealing black tops, and it is off-putting to both of us. On our last visit, a male patron sitting near us took a photo of one waitress in a very low-cut top as she held a plate of sushi in front of her breasts. We will likely not be returning. read more

Great Sushi Spot! The sushi was fresh and tasty, with great flavor and quality. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. It's a small place, but very clean and comfortable. My wife and I will definitely be coming back! read more

I've come to this place quite a bit. The sushi's good and reliable service is good too. I don't usually scrutinize the bill, but last time I went something stood out. I was picking up take out and last minute decided to add a coke. The waiter tells me that would be 4 dollars. For a regular 12 oz can of coke. Not a glass bottle not imported just a basic can. I guess I never noticed since it was always part of a bigger order. That's ridiculous. That can of coke maybe cost the business 60 cents. MAYBE. That is a mark up of over 500%. And thinking back even when you dine in they bring you a can with a cup on the side. No fountain drinks, no refills. It's basically their way of saying "NO REFILLS" It rubbed me the wrong way. I don't mind paying for good food and service, but stuff like this feels greedy. Makes you wonder what else they're quietly overcharging for. Won't be coming back. Small thing, yes, but it says a lot. read more

Food: Spicy Tuna Handroll, Joe Joe Special, E-Sushi Special, Edamame We finally made it to E-Sushi, a spot that we always see when we go to the restaurants around it. We came around 9pm and there was only one other table occupied which allowed us to receive a lot of attention from the sushi chef behind the counter. We were quickly seated and we fired away our order. The Spicy Tuna Handroll's... delicious. Maybe in the top 5 Spicy Tuna Handrolls I've ever had. Everything else was good, had good flavor, tasted like it was good quality, it was just a little over sauced for my opinion. When looking at the menu, many of the rolls seemed a little repetitive, just with one or two different ingredients in them. Service / Restaurant: There is plenty of parking available if you come later in the afternoon. During the day time / early afternoon it gets packed with restaurants and gym that share the same plaza. Inside the restaurant it looks the same it probably did when they opened back in the day. The old school vibe of it adds to the charm and creates and intimate feeling. The chef behind the counter gave us a complimentary plate of albacore which was delicious. Notes: Prices are $1 to $3 more expensive than other local sushi spots. Just be aware of this as it does add up over time. read more

The food is amazing it is so fresh and so much flavor i definitely recommend the Evan's special sushi roll it's amazing. The people are So nice and kind they will do whatever you need. The PLACE is amazingly decorated with TVs to watch sports and some pictures. read more

E Sushi - Inside - Sushi Bar - Japanese Near Me - Whittier, California

Ordered 2 different rolls and the miso soup to take home. The miso soup was pretty standard. Dragon roll had some hard rice in it. Very hard to swallow. Needed water to wash it down. Ordered the eel roll. The eel had bones in it when we tried to eat it. Nothing like biting into sushi to find a hard bone. Maybe it was a bad night. I don't know. I'll stick to my regular sushi place. read more

4.9!!! Um hello?! How did I barley find out about this Whittier gem? My boyfriend and I arrived around 7:20PM on a Friday, we were greeted and was asked for my number to be notified as there was about a 20 minute wait. I was called and was told to come in approximately 20 minutes later. Staff is very attentive and helpful to one another and customers; a friendly and caring bunch. We ordered: - Louis: Not overwhelmed with sauces which a lot of Japanese restaurants tend to do. Order it if you enjoy some spicy kick. - Sweet Shrimp: I got more than what I expected. I placed 1 order but ended up with 2 sweet shrimps and shrimp heads on a plate. The shrimp was fresh, citrusy, and soft. 10/10. - Teriyaki Chicken: I originally asked the server if they had karaage chicken. I was told yes so proceeded to order. When the order came out and was given a teriyaki bowl, I asked about what I originally ordered but was told they didn't have it. There was miscommunication and one of the servers tried to fix the error, however, I didn't mind what was placed in front of me because it was probably one of the best teriyaki bowls I've eaten. Simple, but the sauce was perfectly sweet and savory. - Salmon Skin Salad: Delicious. - Miso Soup: Yum. Some places just can't get miso soup right but E Sushi got it. Make sure to come to E Sushi for your next sushi craving. It's a quaint, comfortable and VERY welcoming restaurant. read more

We saw the great reviews and decided to try this place for a pickup order. The quality of fish is arguably the best I've had and the combination of flavors each roll has was so satisfying. We ordered the Kala Special Roll, Spicy Crunch Albacore Roll, Hector Roll and Alex Roll. The wife and I looked at each other after a few bites and immediately thought the same thing, how good these rolls were. The food was ready in 15 minutes and we had no issues waiting. We didn't experience the full ambiance of dining in but it seemed like a great place to eat. Next time we will dine in and update the review. read more

So, I was super hungry this one late night. This place opens to 10:00 p.m., which is fabulous in my book. Not many sushi joints open till 10:00 pm during the week nights. I ordered the premium sushi flight and the Armando roll. Both dishes were delicious. The fish was very fresh. You can tell that a sushi place is good when you walk in and it's filled with people to the brim. I seated myself at the sushi counter area. Just when I sat down, the frequenters were already recommending the specials of the day. They were raving about the premium sushi flights and the abundance of premium rolls. I was so excited! I will definitely be coming back and bringing some friends to try some other dishes. I'm so happy that I found a new go-to sushi place that opens late. Everything on the menu looks amazing! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Woohoo! read more

E Sushi - Appetizer menu - Japanese Near Me - Whittier, California

I ended up here after Blue Fin up the street decided to tell customers they were closing early. Walked in and the restaurant was empty, but they still stayed open during posted hours and that was much appreciated. We were happily greeted when walked in and we were able to choose any table we liked. We ordered: cucumber salad, yellow tail sashimi & and bento box with teriyaki steak, CA roll, tempura, rice, soup & salad. Everything tasted fresh. The tempura was a little greasy for me, but the teriyaki steak was very good. Good food, good service, will be back. read more

It's a smaller place but packs a big punch with delicious sushi,, endless alcohol, top notch customer service. The ambiance was great! We sat at the bar and started with the fresh oyster appetizer. The oysters come prepared in a soy sauce with other toppings and spices. Our next dish was the Toro Tataki Sashimi. This was my favorite dish of the night. I shouldve ordered 2 more plates. Its blue fin tuna in a special sauce topped with Jalapenos. Its not spicy, just packed with flavors that will make your taste buds very happy. Then we ordered the Sergio roll. If you love spicy, this is for you. It is delicious and it has a kick. If this isnt spicy enough they have one thats spicier which I believe is the Alex. Next we tried the Joe Joe roll, this was a tasty tuna roll with shrimp Tempura a milder flavor compared to the Sergio roll but still very tasty. The gentleman sitting next to me suggested a salmon skin hand roll and the Parker roll. The salmon skin hand roll reminded me of a chicharon. It was delicious but had a hint of sweetness to it which I don't prefer. The last roll was the Parker roll. I don't like Eel but I thought what the heck I'll try it! I was NOT a fan. No Eell for me thank you. Overall the sushi here is one of the tastiest and freshest I've had. I'll be back often! Xo read more

Don't be fooled with all the positive reviews. This placed has really changed. The prices at this sushi restaurant are not the ones you see on the menu online. Bait and switch. Prices are outrageous. All the sushi is $7.95 per pair. The quality is sub par. We ordered 3 rolls and 2 beers and the fee was $79 + tip. This is not a joke. We are not alone. As we looked at the bar and tables, nobody ordered any sushi, just rolls. That should tell management somethinig, but they are clueless. The rolls we ordered had no flavor, one of the rolls was oily, another was just mush (fake crab w/mayo). You get better rolls at Smart and Final. The quality and prices are simply outrageous. This is not a sushi bar, it's below supermakert sushi. We will never come back. Ever. read more

Thought I'd give it another shot, unfortunately huge disappointment with the sushi & pricing. We got the "Sergio" and 2 other weird names. It's very dry. Sushi should not taste like that. The fish itself is ok. We walked out paying $70 for 3 rolls..... I have no idea why this place has 4 stars. read more

Food was ok, everything on the menu is spicy. The sake and drinks are way overpriced. Not impressed compared to to the other nearby sushi places read more

High prices and mediocre service and sushi. Sadly this is one of the few sushi restaurants left in my vicinity. I have tried to give them a chance , but its not going to work out. The prices are high , upsell is present and care for customer satisfaction is not. Simple requests of custom rolls (with ingredients in THEIR menu) are not possible here. Some of the fish is not the best and it's noticeable in the taste. However, they do charge for quality fish. My search will continue for my next neighborhood sushi spot. read more

First time eating here & they did not disappoint! This will be our to go spot for now on. Not only cause the staff & owners were super nice but my husband & I felt so comfortable & at home there, as if we've been coming for years! If you want good quality fresh fish this is the place to go. Thank you Amy for the great hospitality & the to go cucumber side dish with your secret sauce. It was amazing :) read more

Great service, they saw me waiting a bit longer than the call time for picking up my food and the worker insisted that I take a free drink upon waiting. However, I noticed that another customer and I were waiting for our take out and a server offered waters to both of us. The ambience seemed fun and welcoming, made me think I should have ordered my food to stay. The food was good, nothing too crazy to rave about but it scratched the itch for sushi and they gave generous portions. read more

I had went on Valentine's Day to pick up sushi for my wife. Unfortunately I think my order May have gotten lost in the shuffle and asked for a refund after a significant amount of time. This is somewhat understandable for such a busy day. But the way the manager Amy took care of the situation was really professional and refreshing. I'll definitely keep coming here because she handled it so well. And of course the food was delicious! read more

The sushi is delicious and decently priced! The Thomas roll was definitely my favorite. Very spicy but also flavorful. The rolls were big and very filling. The miso soup was also very good but didn't get a picture. We arrived close to closing time so we were a little rushed but overall had great service aside from the waitress forgetting to bring out a roll (we were stuffed so it wasn't a big deal). I'll be back any time I'm in the area. read more

I want to say this is the worst place I ever try I got a bento box and choose the salmon not sure what they drenched in some kind sauce it was nasty. The rice was hard the tempura had no flavor I can taste the oil . And the California rolls where not tight enough and no flavor . The salad was awful. I want say only miso had flavor. This place it's expensive and didn't meet y expectations. Ralph's sushi taste better then this. read more

Stopped into this place for lunch with a friend and we were both pleasantly surprised. I mean Whittier isn't known for it's fine sushi but this place was pretty good. I enjoyed every dish I ordered. The yellow tail was pretty good but I've had better quality elsewhere but it is still good nonetheless. Spicy tuna was good and actually had spice to it which was delicious. I would definitely come back here again, when in the neighborhood. read more

E sushi is the best - there is nothing here that we don't like. The rolls and appetizers are phenomenal. Some of our favorites are the tuna tataki, whittier special, diamond special, alex roll, etc. Prices are fair for what you get because the rolls are huge without packing too much rice.
