This place completely exceeded my expectations. I have walked past it so many times without ever feeling the urge to go in, maybe because of the name or the location. Today I finally gave it a try and wow. The sushi was fresher and better than at many restaurants that specialize in it. You can tell it is made with care by the sweet older lady in the kitchen. It just proves you should not judge a book by its cover because this spot is truly delicious. Very affordable too. read more

Every time I come to the mall, I stop by Hello Chicken & Sushi. My son always gets the spam musubi, very traditional and right portion of rice. The service is always great, clean dining area. It's definitely not just "mall food." This place is really good. read more

This is great quality sushi while remaining overall affordable when talking about sushi. Me and my friends got the Godzilla Roll and Fried California Roll, both were so so good I felt as if I had been taken to mall heaven and there had been some superficial being graciously granting me this food. The people behind the food also seem really friendly! The food came out in good time and it seems like they're really working hard behind the counter. And the seating is pretty standard for a spot inside the mall, and I think it fits the place just fine. If you like sushi and are looking for a spot to eat at the mall you NEEED to come here. read more

**Hello Chicken Sushi has the most authentic Korean kimbap I've had -- it tastes just like the ones my mom used to make for me. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming. We ordered 20 kimbap rolls for our church luncheon, and everyone absolutely loved them. They were individually wrapped, which made serving super easy. If you're looking for quick, delicious food for a company lunch or group gathering, I highly recommend calling ahead and placing an order!** read more

Maybe today was just a bad day, but I ordered a lion king roll and a rainbow sushi roll and both were very disappointing. Hello Chicken & Sushi used to be the spot, but unfortunately it seems like their quality has gone significantly down, maybe as an attempt to cust cost. Service was friendly, but the food was a disappointment. Rainbow roll 2/10: The rice was too vinegary, and fish didn't taste fresh. Also had a couple pieces of shrimp tail that were just randomly in the container? Lion king roll 3/10: I used to love their lion king but you can taste the decrease in quality. It feels like they added extra sauce on top of the roll to distract from the quality. Unfortunately, it just added to the disappointment. Times are hard for businesses, I get it. But I'd rather pay a little bit more for good quality. read more

Surprised I haven't tried this place sooner. I got the honey garlic boneless chicken. Chicken was cooked well and had a great crunch to it. Also got a shrimp tempura roll which was yummy. Tempura was crunchy and the rest was delicious. Just a little heavy on the rice. Need to get a potato twisty next time. read more

I've had Hello Chicken & Sushi bookmarked on Yelp for several months. I saw that it had almost perfect reviews so I knew I had to check it out. Hello Chicken & Sushi is located at the Sun Valley Mall right across from McDonald's. It's a small place with a few tables for dine-in. The food is made fresh so be aware that there might be a wait for your food. I got a Lion King Roll $10.99, if you're a baked sushi fan then you'll know that $10.99 is pretty cheap for a Lion King Roll. They're usually priced around $16-$18 in the Bay Area. Even at the $10.99 price the taste is not compromised! The sushi was delicious, and I did notice that it does taste a bit sweet. I think they might add sugar to their sauce. Great price for great food! I'll keep returning if they keep it that way! read more

A sushi place inside Sun Valley Mall...amazing! I was impress that there is a place to have Chicken Teriyaki and sushi. This place is not in the food court by near Sears. Here is what I like about Hello Chicken & Sushi....my Chicken Teriyaki came with Macaroni Salad on the side. I really loved my Macaroni Salad. The taste of my Chicken Teriyaki was good. For a moment I thought I was having Hawaiian BBQ. Inside Hello Chicken & Sushi was OK. It use to be a taqueria. It is nice to dine inside and relax. I told the people that work at Hello Chicken & Teriyaki that I enjoyed my food. They did served me a great Chicken Teriyaki. I will definitely say hello again to Hello Chicken & Sushi read more

Hello Chicken & Sushi is located in Sun Valley Mall. Now, when hearing this your first reaction would probably be similar to mine, and that was, "this has no chance of being good". However, after I got over my initial hesitation, I'm glad that Hello Chicken & Sushi has found a home here. While they aren't the only sushi place in the area, as there are plenty of other locations not far away in all directions, they do fit in pretty well in regards to pricing and food quality. First off, menu pricing is very comparable. Especially for the mall, this is a nice option to have when you're not looking to drop a ton at the other places there. While the portions here aren't going to be super filling, the price of everything does make it reasonable. Their menu is fairly sized, between the Korean side, and the side. The chicken part here is the Korean fried chicken style, so if you're up for Korean fried chicken wings, this is a great place for that. But of course, they also offer sushi options here along with the other basic Japanese dishes, so there's those options too. I've been here several times now, tried quite a few things on their menu, so I'll try to cover a few of the highlights here, and steer clear of here. First, the sushi stuff. The sushi here is pretty cheap, especially if you're someone who enjoys their California Rolls. Hard to find them around for this price, but the California Rolls here are quite tasty. Because of the price, they're obviously not going to be huge, but compared to other places that charged 1.5-2x more, I still feel it's worth it especially because it's tasty. I would recommend the Spicy California Rolls too, which is just cost a bit more, but totally worth it if you like a bit of spice with your meal, though keep in mind it's not THAT spicy. The Lion King here is quite nice as well. If you're somebody who likes your Lion King saucy, you found a good place here with that. Lots of flavor, very creamy, and well sized overall for the cost. The fried chicken wings here are nice. I do wish they had an actual sweet chili flavor for their wings, but their sauces are almost all savory side, even the ones that mention sweet in the glaze, but it's really not that sweet. The wings themselves are fried quite crunchy, so no worries about the wings being too sauced and soggy if you want to go with a saucier version. The wings are also pretty big too. The chicken teriyaki here is nice. It's not quite as saucy as I usually like it, but it has a nice grill/char on it, so adds to the flavor of the overall dish. They don't use thigh/leg meat for the teriyaki, so if you're someone who prefers a chicken more tender with this dish, then you may not enjoy this as much. Pricing wise it's reasonable, but it's also not going to be s large portion, but it does come with rice and a Asian coleslaw, so if you combine all of that then it would be filling and enough for a regular person. The garlic noodles, while looks great on the menu, is rather hit or miss. The first time I had it was quite tasty, and quite garlicky. The second time I tried it was also the same. The third and the fourth time I tried it, it's gone in the other direction. Tasted like nothing, bland, and barely any garlic flavor to it. The other downside here is that they don't use egg noodles, so it's more like angel hair pasta rather than garlic noodles. Again, it had been good, I asked about this later on, and they told me they stopped putting as much garlic into it, which checks out. Before I recap, lastly, the selling point here isn't just the food and cost, but the staff. Owner is incredibly friendly, and it is very much a family runned style restaurant. I often would see other members of their family helping out with the restaurant. The wife does most of the cooked food prep, while the husband is mainly the sushi prep. If you need options for catering, larger orders, or just other things they're more than willing to help you out even though they haven't even figured out the catering stuff just yet, but provided options anyways. Overall, a great family run, Korean/Japanese cuisine place. The sushi here is solid, though nothing is going to be a huge roll. The chicken stuff here I all enjoyed thus far. The pricing is a great selling point, and worth it especially for the mall setting. I would recommend trying them out, even though if your first reaction of mall sushi resembled mine, give it a shot! read more

Hello Chicken & Sushi - Bulgogi - Asian Fusion Near Me - Concord, California

Best place to eat in the mall in my opinion! Thought the name was odd because chicken AND sushi? But then I realized it was KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN! I didn't take a picture but I believe it was the soy wings I got and they were amazing and decently priced for chicken wings. I really loved the gimbap if you are just looking for a quick snack while shopping. You can never go wrong with a California roll and it's at the price a California roll should be (if you are paying over $10, you're getting scammed)! Lastly the Bulgogi bowl is the perfect option if you are just looking for some meat and rice lol. I do wish they sold kimchi on the side for it because I think it would be the perfect meal. The staff are so kind. Whenever I come in it's the same lady working the front, with a man and a ajumeoni cooking in the back. I can tell it's a small family restaurant and they are doing a great job. I will always come here whenever im at the mall. read more

Ordered here for the first time. My roll was good, but the Asian couple got a free order of potstickers while they were "waiting" for their order today. I am not Asian...No potstickers for me. I had to wait until their order was completed and they started to make my 1 roll. I will go to uncle sharkys next time, cheaper, faster and nicer. About 11:30 am, not fair to give free app to one and not the other! Just saying....it was only them and me in there at the time... just plain rude! read more

OMG, it's the best food in this mall, very authentic street Korean food and some Japanese!

04/02/24- Back here at the mall and it's time to try another good stuff and see if all the great things stay the same. Greeted by the Chef/owner upon entering, a huge plus. That feels like Home and family atmosphere. Ordered spider roll (again) and fried california roll. It's all fresh and made to order. Had to order it to-go to bring at the food court as kids have a different orders of their liking. Both were tasty and good. Eat it while it's hot, since it's fried. I forgot to snap a photo as I jump right in action! Will be back again, hopefully garlic noodles will be available when I return. It looks quiet here but the price is reasonable and the quality is a top restaurant quality, only the freshest of ingredients! Customer Service is Superb! read more

Hello Chicken & Sushi - Left is Golden Gate sushi, Right is Spider roll- both were amazing! Chicken karaage on top - Asian Fusion Near Me - Concord, California

First time at this restaurant and figured I'd give them a try. While contemplating what to get at a Sushi restaurant, was informed by the cashier they were not "doing" sushi. How does a restaurant that has sushi in their name not have sushi? Should have left but was hungry and settled with a Chicken Lettuce wrap and seaweed salad thinking it was quick.. It took 20+ minutes to get my food. The Chicken didn't have any flavor. Could've used some salt or soy sauce, but looking around, there was nothing. Leaving, I noticed another customer was eating sushi. One star for slow service in preparing my food for something that was probably in the fridge premade (seaweed salad) and watching the my chicken being cooked was quick to make.. I was really hoping for a nice experience there. Last and only time I'll be going there thank you. read more

Great, quality sushi that is affordable. They give you large portions and the food is better than most sushi places in Concord. You don't get the table service, but it's most definitely worth it. I still go to my favorite sit down sushi restaurant when I want table service, but you'll find me here more often! Everyone is very nice and welcoming! read more

2nd time here. This place is inside Sun Valley Mall Lower Level, across from McDonalds. Everyone needs to try the lion king roll! So good! For my 2nd time here I ordered the Las Vegas Roll. Very tasty. Will be back to try their Katsu. They also sell Japanese canned/bottled drinks and pre-packaged candy and snacks near the register. read more

Hello Chicken & Sushi - Las Vegas roll - Asian Fusion Near Me - Concord, California

this hidden gem has pretty solid sushi for being located in a mall! their sushi options are pretty basic, but will surely satisfy your sushi cravings. they have a number of other items too, including noodles, fries (plain, garlic, bulgogi), chicken, and korean corndogs if i'm remembering correctly. my only issue is the speed of the chefs -- my boyfriend and i ordered a 3 rolls and it took well over 20 minutes to come out. the place was pretty much empty and there were 3 workers at the time, so i'm not sure what took them so long. perhaps the chefs aren't too experienced in sushi making. regardless, the employees are kind and everything tasted great. they're also never super busy so it's nice and quiet inside. i recommend trying at least once. read more

Ate here for the first time thanks to the great Yelp reviews! There's not that many spots in the mall that have decent food honestly, so I was looking forward to trying a different spot. It wasn't busy at all (lunch on a Thursday though) but the place was clean and efficient. I ordered a 49er roll and a spider roll, came out to just over 20 bucks with tax which is a pretty good deal for sushi. The rolls were excellent and a decent size. The soft shell crab was fried to order so it was crunchy which I love. No complaints here, I would go back again for yummy sushi at a decent price. read more

I'll be honest, I thought you all were cappin about how good this place is lol I stand corrected. I'm typing the review while eating hahaha quality sushi and you can't beat the prices.

If you were on the fence, I'm just telling you right now you're on the wrong side lolol I will definitely be back. read more

I came across this place last night after craving some sushi/ rolls. The place is very clean and specious, with plenty of seating. I ordered Katsu chicken plate, California roll for my son and Willow Pass roll to take out. The food came very quickly. The rolls were great! Well made, fresh ingredients, perfect combination of flavor. The katsu plate was gone before I could even snap a picture, my son loved it! The owners of the place were very friendly and polite. They were nice enough to offer me a complimentary chicken potsticker, which I enjoyed very much! Oh, almost forgot to mention: the prices are so reasonable, it's almost a steal our days! In two words: I would come back and would recommend this place to my friends. The place is easy to find. It's on the first floor of the mall, between Sears and Macys Home, next to McDonalds. read more

In Concord for business. Tried this place based on the good reviews. Service was good. Food was freshly made and tasted good.

Is this ran by different people now? I noticed the food doesn't taste the same, prices are higher, not taking online orders anymore, packaging different now, and it's unfamiliar people working there now. What happened to the husband and wife duo they were so nice. My food doesn't taste great I'll be going somewhere else moving forward. The menu is different with no prices. read more

Everything is fried and greasy and very heavy here and it all tastes the same. Not bad exactly, but not good enough to come back. We left a lot of the food uneaten because we didn't like it and went to get an additional item from somewhere else The reason we came here was for the fried ice cream and it was taken off the menu months ago according to the cashier. Bummer. read more

Came here a couple times everything comes out quick and taste really good. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Wow. I mean WOW. My husband and I went to Build A Bear with our daughter- she turned two. We wanted to get something to eat, and I looked up the restaurants at the mall. I saw this place and checked out their Yelp page. Five stars. That never happens, unless you have all your friends leave reviews. This is some of the best sushi we have had. The staff is courteous and patient, and the food is amazing and priced a lot lower than I expected. If you like sushi, I definitely recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. The sushi was so good we had to dig in right away and I didn't get any photos. They also have katsu and non sushi options for people that don't want sushi. We can't wait to go back. read more

Great sushi! Shockingly good prices. Unexpected for a mall establishment. Unfortunate location so I hope they do well and stay in business.

I was gonna add a picture of my food here but I ended up eating it all. The sushi is so delicious and everything is made with such care. I would sacrifice my first born child for just another taste of the lion roll. The service was great, always checking in to make sure we were alright and the food was good. I would go here again. Great food, immaculate ambiance, and great people. read more
