My go to local sushi spot. I've tried some other places looking for the best quality sushi around me. Fish in a Bottle is by far my favorite and super close to my community which is convenient when I get the craving. I love the salmon skin roll extra crispy. The location is small so big parties should definitely call ahead to make sure they can accommodate you. Eunice, Steven, Jose and the whole staff are always welcoming and ready to serve you something yummy which I appreciate. Be cautious on what time you go though because they do get slammed sometimes and you may have to wait a little, however I've never had that problem. Happy Dining! read more

We were excited to try this location after a day with our kids, but it was very disappointing. The ahi tuna tasted like it came from a can and was poorly presented, and the chicken was completely flavorless with a strange texture. My kids and I couldn't find anything they liked, and we ended up leaving unhappy. The only positive was the hostess helping adjust our bill, though it took a while to get assistance and no one checked on us during the meal. Overall, a very disappointing experience. read more

This was our first time here. The menu is large and we were not disappointed with our selection. We had a sushi sampler and shrimp vegetable tempura. The fresh ginger and wasabi added greatly to the sushi. The server was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. There is indoor or an attached patio seating area. We sat on the patio but the restaurant is located next to Imperial Highway and the traffic noise was often loud and unpleasant. read more

This is a seriously great restaurant. I recently hosted my Dinner Club here and it was outstanding. I came here 20 years ago with my husband, so I was still amazed how great the food was. All the Dinner guests agreed that this was phenomenal. The Shrimp Tempura, the Tempura Combo, the Teriyaki Chicken, the Rib eye , the salads were all fabulous. Service was terrific. I can't think of anything other than I can't wait to go back. read more

I sit at the bar everytime. The quality and portions are great. love this place. Highly recommend sushi chef Jose!

My last review was 10 years ago & we are still loyal customers. We have been coming here for over 17 years. Our kids have grown up loving FITB - mainly because of familiarity perhaps, but it always feels like home to us. The owner's kids, the busser, and the chefs (mainly Jose) know us and we know them. Quality is always satisfying and it makes the 30+ minute drive there worth it. During our last visit we met a group that drove in from San Fernando Valley to eat here. This local spot that is no longer local to us, continues to be a nostalgic space for us. It will always be our favorite. read more

Cute sushi spot over near Chuck E Cheese in Placentia. Never a horribly long wait and the service is good. Lots of different options for rolls and we havent had a roll that we didnt like yet. There are also cooked food options as well that are very tasty. Fish in a Bottle is definitely worth a visit! read more

Absolutely wonderful experience. Food was very fresh and service was very fast. Crunch Dragon and spicy edamame are simply the best

We came here tonight for my dad's birthday and had a really disappointing experience. Only half of our sodas came out, and we had to ask multiple times for refills -- one Diet Coke refill never came at all. We ordered 10 rolls and waited about 1.5 hours, only for them all to come out at the exact same time. We could see them stacking up at the sushi bar, but nothing was brought to us until every roll was finished. I've never experienced that at a sushi restaurant before. We also had to ask for the bill and boxes, and no one checked on us during the meal. Overall, it was a frustrating experience, especially for a birthday celebration. read more

Always super friendly, and efficient service. Bathrooms are spotless and the fish is always COLD. The lunch special sashimi & sushi combo is a great deal . Soup or salad with 4 pieces of sushi & 6 pieces of sashimi at $27.00. read more

Food is actually sub par at best. .Miso soup low quality watered down flavor 2/5 .Chicken teriyaki a flavorless weird textured chicken with a bland teriyaki sauce (expensive too) not Japanese style more like a fusion excuse for teriyaki. 2/5 because the veggies were just ok just super garlicky. Service too was just OK not very attentive. Owners need to taste everything again and make some serious changes to this bland food. That chicken weird textured thingy still haunts me, everyone at my table said the same thing " What is this?" "Why the weird texture" "It tastes bland and the chicken breast almost imitation like" read more

Great sushi! Friendly staff! I have been here a few times and tried several rolls including the Crunch Crunch, Mountain, Philadelphia, and many more. All have been great! read more

Sushi tastes like it was frozen and defrosted. Not fresh at all. I've never had bad blue fin Toro, but the Toro here was awful. Toro is supposed to melt in the mouth. This Toro was chewy and flavorless. read more

First of all, five stars go to Eunice, our server (greeter)! We arrived upon lunch opening, got our water and ordered very quickly because our friend had to get on the road. As per usual, our food was outstanding. The three of us ordered tuna ala tostada, stuffed mussels and the stuffed chicken breast. All three were beautifully plated and outstandingly delicious. As regulars, we noticed the bump in prices, but comparatively speaking, it was not overly outrageous. Our friend was celebrating a notable birthday and Eunice surprised her with a lovely dessert! Thank you so much for this memorable, dining experience! read more

Fish In A Bottle Sushi - Fillet Mignon Toban - Yaki Very tender! Cab Sauvignon reduction is excellent! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Placentia, California

This is our absolute FAVORITE sushi spot ever!!! We've been coming here for nearly 15 years and it never gets old. The fish is always fresh, rolls & appetizers are delicious and the staff is fantastic. My toddler is such a fan we have to go twice a week sometimes. Every time we bring new diners with us, they become huge fans as well. Some personal favorites from the menu include the tuna a la tostada, spicy garlic edamame, specialty salmon sashimi, rainbow roll, crunch crunch, red dragon, and the green mussels! Thank you for being such a staple in our weekly dining Fish in a Bottle! We love you!!! read more

ALWAYS the best sushi, every time!! We've gone here MANY times over the past several years

family and I hand have tried many many sushi places, none have as good as this place. I highly recommend it. Staff has always been friendly and attentive. read more

Very good sushi and great atmosphere. A little cramped feeling, but it's just a small location. Clean bathroom

This is my family's usual place to get sushi rolls. I picked up 4 rolls last evening. The rice in all the rolls was very mushy. I could not taste any rice vinegar in my roll. The 2 Dragon rolls had a watery soy sauce, rather than the thick unagi sauce. The filling inside the roll was more mayonnaise than crab meat. No avocado in the rolls. My daughter who got the Baja roll said her roll was not good. My husband who got the Rainbow roll said his was not that good, either. Don't know if someone is not measuring their ingredients correctly or what. read more

Walked out of this neighborhood restaurant at 6 PM on a weeknight after waiting at the register watching a young man clean up his counter area without acknowledging I was standing in front of him until I waved at him and he said yes it'll be just a minute, if this restaurant does not need my business I can go somewhere else. When I called back to speak with a manager the same young man claimed to be David and said he was the store manager. He was rude, and I will be calling back on another day to ask the actual manager why he is keeping this person in his employment. read more

Great service, great food! The place has been there for a long time and has a family vibe to it. Great date spot.

Always great! I've been many times, great people , great quality The fish is always fresh Amazing spicy edamame Highly recommend read more

This is our favorite sushi place . We come here at least once a week I don't think we have ever had a bad dish. Whenever our niece stays over she always asks to go to FIB The people are super nice, since we come her a lot we've become very friendly with them. My wife likes this place so much she compares other sushi places to FIB... read more

Pre-pandemic, this was in our regular rotation of places to have sushi. It's been a couple of years, so we gave it a go. Spicy edamame: on point. Beer: fairly priced. Service: pretty good. Uni: none on a Saturday night. Toro: NOT fresh and not a good excuse for serving something old to people who regularly have toro. Gray is never the color of good sashimi. Nope. read more

This is our go to for sushi/ sashimi. It is ALWAYS FRESH! Their menu offers a great variety of roll & also main entrees that are very yummy! Services is great ,& they also have outdoor seating . I highly recommend! read more

My hubby and I decided to eat at this restaurant because we've been wanting to try it for a while. The ambiance and atmosphere were nice and the staff was very welcoming. The menu was pretty extensive and there was an impressive list of sushi rolls. We ordered the Crunch Crunch Roll and Vegas Roll. My hubby enjoyed both rolls and said they were very tasty. I liked the Crunch Crunch Roll, but did not care for the sauce on top, which was a bit spicy for me. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki with steamed vegetables and a carrot/ginger rice, which wasn't to my liking. It tasted like soap to me. I would've preferred to have white or brown rice instead. The chicken was perfectly prepared and the vegetables were very good. My entree also came with a house salad, which I really enjoyed! The vegetable tempura was delicious and presented well. read more

Unfortunately they have made the sushi smaller and raised the prices. I guess that's inflation for you. When the size was sacrificed so was the flavor. read more

I haven't been here in a while and I would say I was a little disappointed with my meal. We ordered off the sushi menu and tried a variety of items. My general observation is that the quality of the fish is just ok and the preparation needs improvement. I noticed the fish was sliced inconsistently. Some were very thin and some there thicker. The rice was too hard and there was too much rice. Sushi in a Bottle is fine for a neighborhood sushi joint but the quality can be better. read more

I love this family own business. Their sushi is really fresh and all of their fish tastes amazing. I really love the Aji specialty sushi as it is seared. The Customer Service is amazing. The staff is friendly. The place is warm and invigorating. I highly recommend this business. I go here all the time. read more

I've worked and managed restaurants for years, and as a fan of food in general - I will always pay for QUALITY and this place is far and above every other sushi place I've been to in more than twenty years of looking for "the one" spot I'll keep going back to. Steve was absolutely welcoming and energetic despite us showing near closing. Jose was our chef and even made us a custom (off menu) hand roll that blew us away. The yellow tail sashimi was incredibly soft and fresh. We were informed that their fish comes in fresh daily from the boats not a processing plant and it absolutely shows. Friendly service and that just tops off the incredible food! Thank you Fish in a Bottle, Steve and Jose and the whole team here. Worth the drive, glad I found MY SPOT read more

Food taste good, wait was a little too long. Clean area, nice staff. Lots of parking in parking lot. I ordered the baked baby lobster roll and the crunchy crunch roll. I definitely recommend. And I got the baby lobster with avocado egg rolls it was like 7/10 read more

I took the family to Fish in a Bottle last night for a little dinner. First, they never disappoint. Sushi is tasty, the rolls are flavorful. But, last night was the first time that we had Lauren, the server. She actually made the experience even more enjoyable. Her personality and recommendations were both right on point. Thanks for a great dinner. Bill read more

Delicious food, amazing atmosphere, great prices, and THE BEST customer service experience, thanks to Fio! Welcoming, helpful, thoughtful, considerate, and fun! Thanks, Fio! You made our night a memorable evening! read more

Over all I feel like this restaurant is not consistent in the overall taste of their sushi. I was even surprised when their miso soup flavor was a little off. Totally hit or miss for me. Yesterday their yellow tail was delicious! The yaya roll is also a go to for my family and I every time. I come back because the fish is fresh and it's local. read more

Always good at the sushi bar with Jose not as good if you sit at a table even when you give thorough directions for your order-- items are often left out and side items are forgotten. I would definitely help my servers by bringing orders out and cleaning if I were the owners and it were busy the menu is extensive and food and sushi are unique and always delicious--you will love it read more
