This is one of my favorite sushi spots, the food is always so fresh and so delicious. I dream about those crunchy, garlic-y, green beans!!! I always get the same lemon salmon roll, the salmon pieces are big and the lemon is fresh. I love the ambience because when you sit it's a little private so it's a good place to go on a date or a girls dinner. And it's always cool and clean in there. I love the servers and the chefs. They are attentive and care about their craft and customers. Will always suggest this place to my friends for dinner. Shout out Arian! read more

Enraku - GARLIC GREEN BEAN GARLIC EDAMAME SALMON HANDROLL LEMON SALMON ROLL - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fullerton, California

Formerly, a chomps location, we ordered 7 small dishes here - the following were the highlights : 1. Uni pasta, incredibly decadent fettuccine coated in parmesan butter and uni. 2. Potato crusted fried shrimp, delicate and yummy. 3. Burrata tomato salad w balsamic dressing. 4. The sashimi, especially the yellow tail w freshly ground wasabi root was well executed. All in all a great option for tapas style, slightly elevated japanese dinning, price point is $30-$60 per person, but there are tons of bowls, plate per person options under $20. 4 solid stars. read more

We ordered through DD. The rolls were tasty and we enjoyed them. However, the portions were very small for the price. I wish I would've known how small it was because we didn't order nearly enough. Definitely worth a try if craving sushi or rolls but be prepared to order more than normal and it will hurt your wallet. Less bang for your buck. read more

I am so happy this restaurant has opened in Downtown Fullerton. The food and drinks are fantastic! The interior is also lovely. My husband and I stopped in for a quick drink and appetizers before attending a party. Jimmy was the bartender and he was fantastic. We enjoyed our drinks. I had the lychee martini, and my husband had the peach blossom. We ordered the sesame chicken and the tornado shrimp. Both were wonderful! These are the perfect appetizers to share at the bar top. The chicken bites were so juicy and full of flavor. The dipping sauce was really good. My husband loved the combination of sauces that came with the tornado shrimp. It has the amount of spicy kick that he prefers. Jimmy had accidentally put in an order for something we didnt order, so he gave us a bottle of sake as an apology. That was very kind and we enjoyed the sake. We will definitely be back!! This is now part of our rotation. read more

Excited to try this place. I didn't like Chomp so I was hoping this place would be better. The interior was nice. you could tell everything was renovated. it was spacious and clean and lots of booths. The service was good but not attentive. The servers would check on us once in a while. maybe it was bcos we were in a booth? I liked that their rolls were buy one get 50% off so we ordered Super Crunch Roll and Crispy onion albacore roll. Both were spot on. Ordered the 12 pcs Chirashi. While the sashimi were pretty good, I believed with a $35 price, It would be nice to have included one higher end item like: a sweet shrimp or uni. The Spicy Pork hot stone was yummy. the portion was pretty big, the pork was flavorful and the jalapeños were spicy. Also got salmon hot stone. this to me was prob the best dish. every ingredients just matched perfectly, whether it was the ginger or the radish or even the seaweed. it was really good lastly, we ordered the 2 item combo of sesame chicken and California roll. very simple to not mess it up and they didn't. The sesame chicken tasted like popcorn chicken w sesame sprinkled on top. the menu was quite extensive (especially the sushi rolls) so there were many items I haven't tried that I needed to next time. read more

i'm so glad i found this hidden gem in fullerton came here expecting just a casual sushi spot but it's actually sooo much better than i thought. the sashimi is super fresh and high quality! literally melts in your mouth. the salmon has this slightly smoky flavor that makes it stand out so much their uni pasta is a MUST. it's creamy, rich, and honestly one of the best things i've had here. i also love that they have a lot of japanese fusion dishes, so even if you don't eat raw fish there are still plenty of options. everything looks cute and tastes just as good read more

It was good, not great. The rolls I would pass, and the unagi was just okay. But the scallop was good, the uni was amazing, and the halibut was nice and refreshing. I would come just order sushi but I would skip the rolls. I liked how there was Korean options if ur party doesn't want raw fish. I'm interested in trying the spicy pork skillet next. read more

This is a fun Korean owned sushi place with a nice layout and ambiance. The seats have seat cushions but doesn't really add that much comfort to the seats lol. The service wasn't too bad, not amazing, but not poor. A little slow and the various servers that came to help was fine but add for miscommunication and inconsistency with ordering (I had ordered appetizers with one waitress before the main order and she didn't put the order in but wasn't confirmed until we got most of our main order and it was missing). So service is about 3/5 The food! We ordered a lot of sushi and some rolls. First the rock shrimp tempura roll. It's a bit much to eat in one bite, but I liked it and it worked together. The spicy tuna with the nice crunchiness of the shrimp tempura was great. The shrimp tempura had like a "bang bang shrimp" vibe, good flavor and crunch 4.5/5 The crab roll was good, a little small with the filling but decent flavor and was good 3.5/5 Now for the sushi, salmon belly, otorro (tuna belly), and yellow tail belly. The star of the show was definitely the otorro, perfectly melted in your mouth goodness, topped with some caviar was amazing, I should've just ordered 4 of them and nothing else. 5/5 The yellowtail belly sushi wasn't as tender but still good, had like a lemon/yuzu glaze over it that added nice flavor to the nigiri! 3.8/5 The salmon belly, same, wasn't as tender as I'd hope but still good, the caviar on top kind of overpowered the salmon, but still good, but not sure how I felt about it at the end of the day. Overall, good but not amazing. 3.8/5 Lastly was the tornado shrimp tempura, which was fun and different, like a French fry wrapped around a shrimp tempura! Added a nice crunchy vibe to it, the sauce was okay I think I prefer the standard sauce with the shrimp tempura however. 4/5 Overall would love to try some more stuff and would come back! Which the service was a bit better and attentive, but good overall. 4/5 read more

Ambiance: Simply amazing! The decor and just how the place is built in general is so fun. It sets a nice atmosphere and it felt like we were in a restaurant in Japan. There were so many nice touches that I was in awe the whole time I was here. The english pop music kind of takes me out of it but that's okay! Volume is medium to loud but you can still hear one another. Service: Patient and helpful. We're new to this place and needed quite a bit of time to look through the menu and fully decide on what we wanted. My mom gets indecisive at times and it makes me a little nervous because some places feel like they want you to hurry and order. Our waiter was quite nice! Food: Everything tasted pretty high quality (at least for the basic stuff we got). Salmon Skin Salad - Nice and crispy with some bits of salmon meat as well! The sauce was delicious for the salad. The greens were refreshing for my mom and she has been in desperate need of fresh greens. Volcano Roll - Without the wasabi mayo. My mom said the prawn and scallop bits tasted good and still juicy. It didn't feel too dry and she loved how creamy the roll was. I feel like she would have loved the scallop sushi even more but she's always worried about raw fish with her stomach. Fried Corn - It was good and for someone else, it would probably be great! It wasn't for me because I personally ended up getting sick of it two bites in. The oiliness and the creaminess of the sauces made it hard for me to eat even with a squeeze of lemon. Super Veggie Roll - As a certified cucumber hater, I've always had an issue with cucumber in all rolls but that's a me thing. I want to be a cucumber lover so bad but it's never going to happen :') I didn't think there would be that much but the roll was mainly cucumber with a few slivers of the other veggies. I wish there was a better balance but, to cucumber lovers, it would be awesome. I did love the fried seaweed on the outside! Added a lovely texture next to the rice. read more

Went here for the first time the other evening and the food was delicious. Their lunch hour bento is such a good price for the quality and quantity of food. I felt so fulfilled after and felt nice! It's pretty quiet, but such a beautiful restaurant inside, referencing traditional japanese styles. We also got free ice cream at the end which was so so nice and I'd definitely come back again! read more

They can change the name, but they can't change the quality, delicious sushi and Asian fusion that comes out of this kitchen. Everything we've ever had is amazing. The service is exceptionally over-the-top and the sushi chefs are a lot of fun. They removed the Teppanyaki tables, however after the Covid pandemic and replaced them with a more traditional Japanese style seating. My family are all sushi fanatics and even though this night it was just my daughter and I we ate for the whole family lol read more

Terrible staff and wannabe supervisors: Waited 20 min for service and the 40 min later and zero food while about 3 parties that were sat after me were all served and finishing their food. Complained and was told they were working on food , staff refused to give me mangers name, chuckled and said I need to go online to contact managers. Absolute FAIL, staff is rude and management should be transparent and should make their info available for customers who have issues. read more

Located in downtown Fullerton, parking could be a bit tricky on weekends. We arrived without a reservation, but were seated right away. The restaurant is spacious, and since it wasn't crowded, our food arrived quickly. While the dishes were fine, none of them particularly stood out. The staff were friendly and attentive for the most part, making a pleasant dining experience overall. read more

Our first visit was amazing! The service was fast and the staff checked in on us several times. We loved the experience so much that we knew we would be coming back. Last week we decided to return, but unfortunately the experience was very different. The service was really slow and hardly any staff checked in on us. I understand that it was a Friday and they were busy, but our server didn't inform us that orders were backed up or that the food might take longer to come out. There was about a 20-minute gap between the first meal arriving and the second one. We had to ask at least three times for the status of our food. On top of that, one server kept messing up my husband's special sushi order. He only ordered three pieces, yet had to come back 3 times to ask over and over again which sushi he wanted. Overall, it was an unpleasant second visit. We'll have to think about whether we'll come back again. read more

We were going to Kopan but decided to try Enraku. I didn't realize the old tepan place has closed. I will say I was impressed. We kept our order modest to scope things out. I ordered a bento box and felt it was really good value. And the sushi is really high quality. One bite and it was obvious. The portion of the mixed tempura was generous. And it was served hot out of the fryer. The hamachi kama was cooked perfectly. Overall we really enjoyed it and will be coming back. read more

Celebrated a friends birthday here. Beautiful ambiance inside really setting the right mood. The food was all so delicious with a big diverse menu and lots of options to choose from. We tried the egg plant fries and the baked mussels which were both such a hit. The rice to fish ratio on the nigiri was perfect, never had better. All the of the special cut rolls were buy one, get one half off which is an amazing deal. Service was good once we caught our servers attention. Many different staff checking in and making sure all was good. Would definitely come again read more

Nice place for sushi in downtown Fullerton with a big selection of rolls. They were running a special on their rolls for buy one get one half off. Their rolls seem larger than other places with 8 pieces of sushi per roll. I ordered a salmon-forward roll (Lemon Salmon) and one with Yellowtail (Yellow Rose roll). Both were pretty good, but I enjoyed the Yellow Rose a bit more. The Lemon salmon was decent but if you plan on eating the lemon with the rolls, be prepared to pick out all the seeds. The Yellow Rose was fresh and a little spicy, and paired well with the fried calamari we ordered for appetizer. Great place for a late dinner in downtown Fullerton! read more

a newer sushi spot in downtown fullerton, i was pleasantly surprised at this spot's food quality and nice interior atmosphere. the food was delicious and the vibes were great for a nicer casual dining experience. it is pricey and parking can be difficult due to the area, but i enjoyed my experience and would want to visit again! Fumi Sushi Set this was a pricey sushi set with 8 pieces of nigiri and a 6 piece tuna roll. especially considering the price, i wish it had come with some miso soup or tempura. i think it would make the meal more satisfying, filling, and worth the cost, but otherwise the fish was fresh and it wasn't too rice heavy. Udon with Mixed Tempura Set this tempura was delicious. the oil didn't taste the freshest but the veggie tempura was soft and the cuts and breading weren't too thick. the udon was enjoyable but nothing notable. we did want soup with our sushi so this hit the spot. Bluefin Tuna Trio quite expensive for 3 pieces of nigiri, but this trio was delicious. the fish was so soft and it did feel very fancy. Snow White Roll i'm usually a bit skeptical of rolls, but this roll was delicious. it had tuna, salmon, yellowtail, crab meat, and avocado inside with soy paper wrapped outside. you could taste the fish and each piece felt hearty. it doesn't come with a lot, though so this would not be filling on its own. read more

I think it could've been better. My child couldn't keep down one of the tuna that was super fishy. But other than that it is fine. The rolls are buy one get 2nd for 50% off, so that is not bad. But other places I've been to, chirashi bowls are much better than Enraku's Chirashi. Service was great. A little on the slow side. I probably wouldn't go back there again. read more

Came here for new years. Good solid sushi. Uni is expensive but that's expected Would come again.

Finally got the chance to check this place out. Now I have another place to visit when I'm craving sushi! Located in the downtown Fullerton area, there's usually a decent amount of parking nearby. I went during lunch time and I didn't realize they have a lunch special. It's Monday through Friday but definitely check it out if you can! My dad and I went and we shared the premium sashimi dish ($70 at the time of review) but comes with 24 pieces of sashimi. I got a lunch chirashi ($18) and the eel rice dish (forgot what it's called but it was $19). Best deal hands down was the chirashi. It was a decent portion and all the fish tasted fresh and so very tasty! The sashimi was great too, but at almost 4x the cost of the lunch chirashi, I'd probably get 2 chirashi instead. However, the fishes were all great and tasty. I wish they gave a tad more "premium" items. It came with a sweet shrimp and uni for the premium items. No toro though. Don't know if it justifies the "premium" name and price, but no complaints about the quality of the fishes. Will I come back? Absolutely!! Thanks Enraku! read more

I walked into Enraku on a Thursday night already vibin' to the music, and lucky me, got seated right away with no reservation. Started my night with the Beautiful Girl Martini (yes, it lives up to the name) and paired it with eggplant fries and shrimp dumplings (a little overcooked, but still snack-worthy). I had my heart set on the stuffed calamari and the Honey Moon Oyster (oyster + uni + ikura + caviar = swoon), but they were sold out. Heartbreak! The server redeemed the night with two surprise margarita shot samples, instant mood lift. Even with a couple misses, the vibes, service, and sushi potential have me hooked. Enraku might just become my new sushi go-to in Fullerton. read more

Had dinner at Enraku in Fullerton and it ended up being one of the best meals I've had in a while. We ordered a ton of food and honestly lost track of everything that came out. I was so focused on eating that I forgot to take photos of most of it, which says a lot. The highlight for me was the smoked tuna dish. It was perfectly balanced with a deep smoky flavor that didn't overpower the fish. You could tell they put care into the preparation and presentation. The scallop with uni on top was another standout. The scallop was fresh and buttery, and the uni added a rich, briny flavor that made the whole bite melt in your mouth. It was the kind of dish you slow down to enjoy. I asked about getting a smoked old fashioned even though it wasn't on the menu. They had all the ingredients, so I figured I'd ask. Instead of brushing it off, they actually made it happen. The drink came out perfectly smoked with a nice balance of sweetness and bite. That kind of service really stood out to me. The kids loved the bulgogi rice, and it was nice to see them finish their plates. Everything came out hot and well-seasoned. The service was friendly and attentive without hovering, and the vibe in the restaurant was relaxed but still felt special. Enraku is one of those places that surprises you with how consistent and thoughtful the food is. I left full, happy, and already planning what to order next time. read more

Actually 3.5 stars. Some hits: Motsu Nabe - Very good and full of flavor. You have to be ok eating intestines. The menu said it had tripe but I don't remember ours having any. The broth was excellent. For the size it would have been nice to have more protein as the dish was mostly cabbage. Saba Bouzushi - Simple but tasty. Loved the seaweed. Average: Fried corn and eggplant fries. Wasn't bad but don't think I'd order either again. Bad - Scallop with uni. This was terrible and really expensive. It didn't taste fresh and it was very bland. Service was not good. It was slow and hard to get the attention of the servers. They came a few times to ask how everything was going but it took a long time to get someone's attention to ask for the check. This is more of a Korean Japanese restaurant so not super authentic. This is not that close to me and it's not really worthy of the drive to return. read more

Food and ambiance was great! Has this old Asian aesthetic to it which makes the vibes amazing! Food was solid! Had the tornado shrimp and calamari as appetizers, and completely took advantage of the buy one, get the 2nd 50% off and got two rolls! Fish is fresh and doesn't taste fishy at all!

This place was highly recommended by an IG influencer so hubby & I wanted to give it a try & dined here last weekend for late lunch. We walked in & got seated right away. I realized this spot took over the previous place called the "chomp" which brings back memories as I've dined there multiple times a decade ago & the ambiance hasn't changed much as for the seating arrangement but the decor is different which feels more modern & nice. Place is clean & spacious with plenty of seating. Service was polite & attentive throughout the entire time. Their menu offers many different variety of options to choose from & not just sushi or sashimi. They also have yakitori & pasta dishes as well. We started off with shishito peppers which is one of my fav appetizers to munch on while waiting for the main dish. The peppers were flavorful with a spicy kick. We also had a beer each which was served in an icy cold glass & later had hot sake. Price for the drinks was such a steal! You buy one beer & get the 2nd one for $1 & the same goes for the sake as well! You can't beat this deal. For the main dish, we had the Umi premium sashimi which included 24pcs of chef's choice & assorted sashimi. Everything on the platter was excellent & super fresh. I'd definitely order it again. We also had sweet shrimp, Uni, & I forget the name of the other fish but it was Oishi. Loved the Uni, sweet shrimp & the crispy head. Always my go to whenever I order sushi. The Uni melted in my mouth except the seaweed was soggy & not as crisp as I would've liked it. I look forward to coming back to try their other nigiri & uni pasta next time. read more

Enraku did not disappoint! We were seated right away, and every dish hit the mark: fresh ingredients, great quality, and beautiful presentation. The servers were super friendly and quick, and their recommendations were spot-on (you can tell they really know the menu). They even went the extra mile to make each plate look stunning. Everything tasted as good as it looked. I had to pause mid-bite just to appreciate it (and I wasn't the only one. A customer sitting a table away literally clapped for the chef lol) Service, food, and atmosphere all came together perfectly. Whoever had the aux played my favorite throwbacks and really made it a wonderful vibe. Thoroughly enjoyed dinner here and can't wait to come back! read more

All the reviews are for the closed Chomp Sushi. I've been here a few times when it was known as Chomp but since this is under new management, we decided to give it a try to see what's different or new. We visited around noon on MLK day. We were greeted promptly and seated but as we were guided to our table, we noticed that the greeter and the sushi chefs were all the same. Nothing's changed as far as decor goes. The menu items have changed a little bit. So after we got seated and got our water from the same guy who seated us, we waited for our server....and waited....and waited. We tried stepping out of the area where we were seated but only noticed one server and couldn't flag her down. We looked around and there was one girl and we continued to wait. After about 15 o 20 minutes, we decided to leave. As we left, we still only observed one server. So not fault of the server and there were quite a few patrons but they were severely understaffed. read more
