One of the best sushi spots I've been to. Not to mention the price is amazing (was maybe $50 for 3 rolls in this economy). It's a small mom and pop style restaurant but it's better than 99% of all sushi spots I've been to. Prob #1 if you factor in price. Was willing to tip well bc of how much money I saved on the food itself. They also have coke zero! read more

Every experience at Hamachi Sushi Express is such a joy. The quality of service and food is unbeatable. The interior is a cozy testament to community. SALMON CARPACCIO: 5/5. The truffle is strong but not overwhelming. This dish is so savory, an umami lover's dream. SECRET GARDEN ROLL: 5/5. Incredibly refreshing an satisfying. Surprising amount of food, the rolls were huge, and the end pieces were even larger. NARUTO ROLL: 5/5. Riceless roll wrapped in cucumber that felt really light and fresh. Perfect if you're not into carbs. PREMIUM CHIRASHI: 5/5. Amazing assortment or fresh fish over sushi rice. Comes with fresh wasabi so you don't need to order it separately. SASHIMI COMBO: 5/5. I got the 15 piece combo which came with 5 different kinds of fish, including tuna belly. The consistency of the quality in the richness and fattiness of their toro really is a marvel. read more

This is one of those places that should be gatekept but I won't do that. Don't let the name fool you but this is a quality sushi place that can only seat about 20 people at a time. I've not (but will be back) to try many more items here but everything we had was fresh and made with a lot of details to attention. And, You can get real wasabi (add $3 a portion and worth it). They even have a 12-course omakase meal for $75 per person but you need to order it at least 24-hours in advance. Check out my pics. read more

I love this place! We ordered the sushi platter and also decided to add some Toro to the mix! It did not disappoint. It was super fresh, just melts in your mouth 10/10! The chef (owner) here knows his craft, the sushi always comes out beautifully. The team here always provides amazing, friendly, and attentive service! Ordered this to celebrate early Mother's Day, and the owners were very accommodating and patient with me when I was placing the order. We loved every single piece of sushi! Great place, awesome owners, delicious sushi. read more

Hamachi Sushi Express - Sushi platter! 10/10!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - La Habra, California

I understand the 5-star reviews- this place is solid. I was satisfied with everything we ordered. Every roll was fresh and flavorful and delicious. The servers were very friendly and accommodating, even when we stayed to chat for a while. They even brought us a complimentary yellowtail sashimi, which was sooooo good. It's definitely small inside, but we didn't have to wait for too long on a sunday afternoon for a party of 4. I'm not sure if you'd be able to sit with more than 4 in there though. Super glad we came! I'd definitely come back. It feels like a hidden gem of La Habra. Quality sushi spot for a nice date or meal out with a few friends. read more

11/28/25 - Went here for our anniversary to do the 12 course Omakase! It was $75 per person for 12 courses. Lots of courses had multiple pieces so we actually ate more than 20 items throughout the meal (see course breakdown below). Chef Jeff prepared every dish in front of us and every thing we ate was delicious and high quality! My favorite out of everything in the omakase was the red snapper nigiri, which had a peppery taste to it. We noticed that they had a good amount of regulars come in and that the owners knew most of them and would take some time to talk and catch up with them. We made a reservation for the omakase and were seated at the bar. The inside is small and can get filled up quickly so I would recommend making a reservation even for casual dining, especially during peak meal times. Looking forward to coming back and trying out their regular menu items! Courses: 1. Sashimi salad 2. Carpaccio: yellowtail, salmon, albacore 3. Nigiri: halibut, jumbo scallop 4. Miso soup (free refills upon request) 5. Nigiri: sea bass, mussel 6. Nigiri: red snapper, ? 7. Nigiri: yellowtail belly, salmon belly with mango sauce 8. Nigiri: toro, bluefin, shrimp 9. Monkish liver 10. Nigiri: uni 11. Hand roll: negi tori, blue crab 12. Unagi spring roll Bonus: fried ? Dessert: mango mochi read more

Came here based on the reviews since my normal poke spot was closed already. This place did not disappoint!! The poke bowl was simple but extremely delicious. I ordered mine with white rice, salmon, tuna, crabmeat, red onion, cucumber salad, cilantro, jalapeños. The fish quality was top tier. The sauces they put in it, I'm thinking from the cucumber salad was absolutely savory. The La Habra Roll was very good as well. Big salmon pieces on basically a crunch roll. The service was nice and quick. Overall I had a great time experience taking this food home and I'm looking forward to adding this to my rotation! read more

Sushi is one of my favorite foods, and with my birthday coming up, I decided it was finally time to enjoy a cake I'd actually be excited about since I'm not much of a sweet tooth. I searched for a while for a sushi cake and found nothing in my area. Then I came across Hamachi Sushi Express, saw their beautiful sushi cakes, and was immediately sold. I called almost a month in advance to preorder. I was willing to make a 4-hour trip to pick up the cake! I even brought an ice chest and everything lol. When I got to the restaurant, I was greeted warmly. The staff were kind from beginning to end. The sushi cake was absolutely perfect. It had toro, salmon belly, mango slices, cucumber, salmon, and tuna on the outside, with some pieces of salmon cut roll for decor. On the inside there was avocado, spicy tuna, crab, and rice. The fish was fresh and melted in my mouth. It was worth the drive. I enjoyed every bite and can finally cross sushi cake off my bucket list. :D read more

Third time here now. From Mon-Thursday, they have a special where you can order any three rolls from their classic, baked or special rolls. We arrived at 3:30 pm and were warmly greeted by our server and sushi chef Jeff. We ordered their three roll special and by the end of it, we were stuffed. In the meantime, we engaged in a fun and funny conversation with chef Jeff. He told us about his time in Korea's military patrolling the zone between North and South Korea. Then, his wife came and warmly greeted us as soon as she realized we were there. Of course, this entire experience added to the cozy and almost familial vibe of this restaurant. The music, which we were told was the Chill channel at Spotify was icing on the cake. Still love it here. read more

The quality of the fish overall was really good and the price points were pretty standard for sushi. I would say the premium chirashi bowl was pretty fresh, along with the salmon in the poke bowl that we got. I would come back just for the handrolls! I got the salmon handroll and liked how they has the salmon all the way down to the bottom. So good! It is small inside with limited seating but should be fine for a small party. read more

As much as I would love to gate keep this place, I would be doing humanity a disservice. Best sushi in the area hands down! Their fish is so fresh - I adore the avocado tuna salad. I order sushi from here at least once a week and it's divine every time. read more

It's a small cozy restaurant with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. It seemed like there were lots of local regulars that visit the restaurant. Had their salmon bowl, a salad and some rolls. Everything was really fresh and delicious. Highly recommend their salmon bowl if you like salmon. Pickled cucumber that came on the side was seasoned perfectly to pair well with the dish! read more

All I can say is wow. My boyfriend and I walked in and it has a cozy ambiance. The restaurant is small and intimate. Our waitress was very kind. I ordered the La Habra Roll and my boyfriend ordered the Spicy Tiger Roll. The presentation is on point. My sushi looked so pretty I didn't want to eat it, but when I did I was speechless at how delicious it was. It tasted so fresh. The pieces were chunky too. My boyfriend also loved his roll. We also ordered the Baked Mussels. It should be a crime to make something so flavorsome. I highly recommend ordering that. They don't sell beer, but that's no big deal. We had a wonderful experience. Everyone is so nice and the restaurant is so cute. The restroom is also decorated nicely. This restaurant is definitely worth experiencing. read more

I think this is hands down the best quality sushi spot in the area -- especially for the price. I usually order one of their classic rolls (the Jessica Roll is sooo good), plus the 4-piece sushi combo and some Kanpachi. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The service is excellent and the ambience is warm and welcoming. Whether you're grabbing a quick meal or sitting down for a relaxed dinner, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend! read more

Love this place! Fresh sushi, great prices, great service. Small place with not too much dine in space, but definitely a great gem found.

The best sushi in north OC and the sweetest owners. Thankful that this restaurant is so close to my daughter's dance studio because that means I get to have it at least once a week. We LOVE Hamachi so much. read more

I'm reluctant to give such a positive review out of fear of blowing up my favorite spot (not that I'd tip any scales here.) This is consistently the best sushi restaurant in the area that won't run you up at a premium price. Amazing quality fish great tasting rice and amazing owners and staff. Cozy small restaurant with friendly patrons. Hamachi deserves this review and more. read more

Soooo yummy great service I loved it best service and the sweetest people and awesome and amazing b

Been here numerous times! Food has been consistently good and the service is excellent too! Highly recommended!

What a gem! This is a completely non-descript sushi spot in a plaza that is next to a Wingstop. This is an important detail because there are only a few seats in the restaurant, so I think people often wait outside at a designated table (with some decorations) in front of the Wingstop. The ambiance inside the restaurant can be best described as "adorable trinket core". It is SO cute inside with a bunch of random knick knacks that somehow all fit together - from the rows of small wooden houses (I'm sure there is a story behind this) to the very cute mural. In terms of food - it is delicious! The fish tastes so fresh and I love all of the sushi roll combinations that we had. Very flavorful. A really nice added touch that I particularly enjoyed was their green tea had toasted rice in it! Delicious! If it gets busy and you live near by, it may be best to order take-out. read more

Amazing quality!! It's our CU sushi meets Ueno sushi but better quality (can't even believe I am saying this). Due to small size, best to get here by 7:30 at latest on weekends. We came on a Friday night at 7pm, didn't get seated until 7:45, they already closed doors at 8:15 when our food arrived. - Hamachi Killer: - alba crunch: 8/10 - red dragon: 12.5/10 - Spicy tiger: 9/10 To try next time: - sunkissed roll Tips: - Can call to make a reservation at 562-448-3262 - Has a waitlist in front, then you have to wait outside, as they will call you due to small space inside. - 3 tables of 4, 2 table of 2, and 1 table of 3 inside - Parking: ample - Recommend to call in advance for omakase (at least 24h in advance) and for sushi cake (at least 48h in advance) so they can prepare adequately for your arrival. read more

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant for his birthday a few days ago. We ordered 2 of the Omakase Sushi & Sashimi Special, which is basically a variety of dishes that are the chef's choice. If you want to try this special, you must call and reserve it at least 24 hours in advance. The special is a 12 course meal which includes miso soup and ice cream for dessert (not pictured). Everything in our meal tasted fresh, and they didn't skimp on anything. Our favorites were the Sashimi salad, Carpaccio, Toro, Hamachi, Salmon Belly, Scallop, and Spring roll. The service was excellent! All of the staff were very helpful and attentive. Our waitress was very personable and kind. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very pleasant, especially because the staff have such good vibes. This includes the chefs, who made sure to ask us how our meal was. The interior was also very clean and cozy. We will definitely be back again! :) read more
