    Disappointing to see portions go down
    Janine K.

    My family and I recently came here and were completely taken aback by how much the quality has declined and gone downhill! The sushi rice was very wet and mushy and the nigiri pieces were paper thin!! It was almost like an entirely different restaurant compared to when we first stopped by! It felt so wrong that we were being served 90% rice and 10% fish. The balance was completely off and the quality isnt worth what we're paying for. We even respectfully brought this up because we genuinely wanted to give feedback rather than simply leave unhappy but they continued to serve the same quality with nothing changed. Although it was very disappointing to see the quality and portions go down, it was even more frustrating for us to bring up our concerns and have them dismissed entirely. Overall, "shrinkflation" really took a hit here and we understand that food costs fluctuate and restaurants have to make adjustments but sacrificing quality to this extent isn't the answer. We wouldve much rather paid a little more to get the same fresh and well-balanced nigiri than continue seeing portions shrink while the wet mushy rice increases. We truly hope management takes this feedback seriously because we'd love to keep supporting this local spot but if this is the new standard, it's hard to justify coming back or recommending it. So for now, goodbye, Hello Sushi.

    It was such a pleasure to visit this location. I usually go to the Fullerton location since it's closer to me, which I also love. However we decided for this location since they close late. Plus they have happy hour after 9 pm. We visited on a Wednesday to celebrate a birthday. And we had a blast, birthday girl got a free shot from the waiter. Which was such a pleasure. I didn't get his name but he was the only one Wednesday night and also Friday night since I went back the same week. Sushi was amazing. Very fresh and came out fast. We had $4 beers and $7 soju. Was busy for a Wednesday, definitely more active than the Friday night that week. Will be back soon and try their AYCE.

    Came here later in the night, and wasn't disappointed! Service and food were outstanding! our server made us feel welcomed and helped us with our selections. The ambiance was nice, music not too loud, just right! Will definitely recommend trying this spot if you haven't, the quality of fish/food is wonderful. 10/10

    This is a great place! Their AYCE options are fantastic and very tasty! The service is exceptional, super friendly and willing to give you suggestions if needed. I highly recommend the In n Out roll and their Heart Attack appetizers (jalapeño filled with spicy tuna)

    We had such a great experience! Ethan was our server, and he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our meal. He made us feel so welcomed and gave great service from start to finish. The restaurant had a fun atmosphere with good music playing, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The sushi was absolutely delicious, the fish tasted incredibly fresh, and every roll we ordered was full of flavor. If you're a sushi lover like me, this place is definitely worth checking out. We'll absolutely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!

    Ok, please tell me I'm not the only one starving at 11 pm after working a long shift???and you are looking for something healthy and fresh because you don't want to feel like krap after eating!! Am I right?! , anyway everything is closed around my area and looking up nearby I see Hello Sushi is Open!!! I am so happy they were open late, they understand that we need healthy, delicious , fresh food after a long day at work or maybe to.prwgame before a night out! But you cannot go wrong eating here at any time! Their rolls are fresh and I appreciate them customizing my roll, I ordered the salmon, tuna mango roll but I'm not a big fan of tuna so I asked for all salmon and they made it perfect. I also ordered a crunch roll and a miso soup. They do have drink specials late at night so I will keep them in mind next time I go out. They have AYCE and a la carte rolls, I do believe the AYCE stops at a certain time but I'm not sure what time. I'm sorry I was starving and I devoured my rolls but I will add pics next time. Thank you and I will be back! for more.

    My wife and I absolutely love AYCE sushi and wanted to find a spot near us. During our Yelp search, I read the great reviews from Hello Sushi and that alone was enough to pique my interest. Going to the restaurant the host was very polite and immediately sat us. The ordering process was very similar to other AYCE restaurants where you get a sheet and choose the quantities of sushi, appetizers and other dishes you'd like. You are given the options to do three rounds of orders. Overall, the service was very quick. I ordered innumerable sushi pieces which are depicted in the attached photos and this came out within 10 minutes of ordering. The fish was very fresh and melts with each bite. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very comforting and fun since there is an IU cutout sign and kpop music playing. Anytime I see an IU cut out and hear KPOP music, I just know the restaurant is good. The waiter is very attentive as well and is able to read our facial expressions of when we're feeling stuffed and nearing a food coma. My wife and have been here 2 times and we will keep returning. Also a plus with this restaurant is there's ample parking outside!

    Service was great, Ethan was very attentive and friendly throughout our whole experience ! The sushi was fresh and the menu offered a lot of different options ! My group and I enjoyed all of the new rolls we tried like the mango roll ! Overall would come back !!

    Hello Sushi Brea! I placed an order to go where I ordered a 3 item bento dinner and a medium sushi sampler. My order was ready in about 20 mins. I went in the restaurant for a pick up and I couldn't find the staff there. The restaurant is small, but very nicely decorated inside. Finally after 5 mins, I went to the sushi counter and picked up my food. I enjoyed my bento box very much, teriyaki chicken was on point, salmon was fresh and delicious, tempura was crunchy, though it can be a bigger portion. My 10 piece sushi sampler was a nice fresh selection, but I've definitely had better. I would love to try the ayce next time!

Being that I had never been there before, I wasn't sure what to get so I pretty much just blurted out whatever. What we ordered: 1) Black deluxe chicken paitan with pork - the broth was so tasty, it was absolutely delicious. The pork slices were generous, however, it was DRY. 2) Pork chashu - for my kid. They loved the broth as well and also felt that the pork slices were dry. I wanted to give 4 out of 5 stars, but I am going to hand them a 3. I loved the tasty broth, but the pork was too dry. How could you mess that up as a ramen restaurant? The portions looked a little smaller than what I am used to paying for much less money. That photo of my black deluxe chicken paitan with pork is very deceiving. It looks like a lot, but it definitely wasn't. I usually can't finish my bowl of ramen in one sitting and take the other half home. I barely had any broth in there, and being that the broth was very good, I was disappointed to run out of it before I was even done with the noodles and meat. Would I return? Sure. I liked the food. It's not a place I would go out of my way to eat at, but if I was around the neighborhood and wanted ramen, I would dine there again.

    I may have just discovered my new excuse for not driving across town for sushi…read more I'd actually been here before for happy hour, which I enjoyed for the value--drinks, a variety of bites, and enough sampling to convince myself I was conducting "research." But I wanted to try the sushi before officially handing out my Yelp verdict. Verdict: this place is going into the rotation. We ordered the 20-piece omakase, and I liked that the chef wasn't afraid to get creative. This is definitely not traditional sushi, and that's a good thing. Yuzu and other unexpected touches were worked into several pieces to complement the fish and add some personality without turning every bite into a chemistry experiment. The service was excellent, too. Our chef even threw in a few extra pieces--which I will never object to. Free sushi is one of the few things in life that requires absolutely no convincing. I also love the location. It's close enough that this could become one of those dangerous neighborhood spots where "let's just grab a quick dinner" somehow turns into an omakase and a couple of drinks. Creative sushi, great service, good happy hour, and conveniently close to home. Basically, everything I need to make this a regular stop--and everything my wallet probably didn't need.

It was mediocre and overpriced for what it was, if my memory serves. Even though we live nearby, we've always had to drive out for decent sushi. But 10 years later, we decided to give it another shot. I was debating between Sushi Imari and here, and I chose here because it's owned by a Japanese owner. I ordered saba (mackerel) first, to test how they handle the basics. It was nasty. The skin didn't look appetizing at all, clearly not in good condition. Failed. Then the rice. Nigiri needs well cooked rice with perfect seasoning, but the quality here was horrible. You could tell they're using old, cheap, low quality rice. The hamachi was meh, ruined by the bad rice. The salmon was cut irregularly, the halibut was fishy and not fresh, and even the jumbo scallop lacked freshness. You can clearly get better elsewhere. Sushi Noguchi, I'd respectfully suggest you either rebrand as a low end sushi spot (or even a conveyor belt place) to match this quality of fish, or, if you don't know sushi well and don't mind overpaying, you might still enjoy it here.
