Such an amazing location! Food is so fresh and delicious! Custom service is also a 10/10 & their extremely nice with quick service

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! read more

Hello Sushi Brea - Premium Nigiri and Carpaccio - Japanese Near Me - Placentia, California

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. read more

For a restaurant literally named "PREMIUM," the only thing premium about this place was the bill. My partner and I came in on a weekday to a virtually empty dining room. We opted for the AYCE option because we were starving, expecting a decent spread. Instead, we left $100+ poorer (after tax and tip) and still semi-hungry because only 2/3 of what hit our table was edible. The raw fish was a major red flag. Some cuts were weirdly chewy, dry, or fatty, and a couple of pieces had a faint sour smell. The uni was dry and brown in color. The nigiri and carpaccio slices were pretty thin. The rice, terrible. It wasn't proper sushi rice, but rather overcooked, mushy grain packed at a ridiculous 1:3 fish-to-rice ratio. I've never seen an AYCE spot skimp this hard on cuts. The only saving grace on the plate was the fried items, which were at least done right. On the bright side, our server was great, attentive and took great care of us despite the empty dining room. Unfortunately, good service can't save bad sushi. Save your money, your time, and your appetite, we definitely won't be returning. read more

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. read more

Sushi Review This sushi spot had me questioning whether I came here for dinner or to experience a spiritual awakening. The fish? Stunning. The presentation? Absolutely serving. The spicy tuna roll? She knew exactly what she was doing. And the salmon sashimi? Respectfully, I need a moment. Every bite was giving luxury, elegance, and a little bit of emotional vulnerability. The rice was perfectly seasoned, the fish was fresh, and the whole meal had me sitting there like I was the main character in a Japanese romance film. I came for sushi. I left with a new personality. 10/10. Would absolutely let this restaurant ruin my financial stability again. read more

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! read more

this place is good for people who enjoy quantity over quality. service was great, had a super helpful server! the vibes of the restaurant are alright.. smells a bit funky in there (like a wet rag) the fooooood... idk it's giving like affordable ayce? i wanna say i can't complain because it IS cheap but they give way too much rice in their nigiris.. & you can't ask for light rice :-( my friends and i wanted to order more nigiris after our first round but we were turned off by the sheer amount rice *there's a fee for any leftover* LOL - given this, they gotta learn from xfish's rice ratio their rolls are rly good tho, PERF rice ratio and they're small :-) *except the baked scallop roll - that one was FUNKAAAY and cold* their no rice roll/rock&roll?? forgot what it was called - the cucumber one? it's basically just an oversized no rice california roll (since it's largely filled with imitation crab... insane amount of crab #cheap) it was STILL yummy but it's not what i'm used to for cucumber wrapped rolls, it was like tiny bits of fish in there as opposed to good chunks. alls to say: fair enoughhhh... they know their method of filling you up on the cheap shi and i GET ITTT i understand!!! #received would i come back? no... would i recommend??? idk... but it doesn't hurt to try! read more

hello, this place was very good. Me and my friend were here because we were craving some all you can eat sushi and let me tell you the sushi really said hello to us in a fantastic way the first bite in our mouth and then the second bite melted again, but I honestly think everything here was top-tier and this is a place that we do actually visit pretty constantly I would recommend basically anything here like the slices aren't the biggest so keep that in mind. read more

Went on Thurs 10.02, at 7:30pm and the place was empty. We're the only 3 people inside. How and why they remain open until 2am is surprising to me. Food quantity and quality was poor. Been here before and the sushi burrito had more filling, now it's a skinny sushi burrito. The crispy albacore roll DID NOT match the photo and barely had any crunchy onion on top. In the past it was actual friend onions, now these come from a bag! Service was poor. Waiter did not come check on the table and I had to call for him out loud to get his attention since he was chit chatting with the sushi chef, which I didn't like. Stingy on napkins and soy sauce packets. Disappointed at the recent dine in experience. read 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! read more

Came here on a friend's recommendation and it was good. They have good price on AYCE but we ordered a la carte since we weren't that hungry. There are so many good choices on the menu. Each thing we ate was delicious but most impressive was the service. There was only one sushi chef and one server present (from what I saw) and although it wasn't incredibly busy at 9;45pm/10:00pm, there were a couple tables, a couple take out orders, and the service was still amazing. Everything we ordered were very good and we will definitely return. Only main downsides I cam speak to were some details to the food. The end pieces on the radish roll were disappointing- just shrimp vs the fish going through entire roll and the spicy albacore burritos crispy fried rice was bigger than the fish. Even with those downsides, I will not hold it against the place sincr taste was still on point. Example: The spicy Edamame (a dish we order at all sushi restaurants) was very good, steamy hot when served, easy to eat, and spicy garlic sauce, although very oily was so good. read more

Was with my cousins and were craving AYCE sushi. We found the place on Yelp so gave it a try. The parking was easy and we came at a time that was not so busy so we were seated right away. One of the people in our party did not want AYCE at first and the server was willing to accommodate him. I thought that was nice considering it may have made the bill and the serving of food a bit challenging. The restaurant was spacious with lots of open tables. Their AYCE menu is very large. We ordered just about every item on the menu so we could try it. All was good and fresh except don't get the fried oyster. It did not taste right. If I'm in the area, I'd definitely come back again! read more

Fantastic service, top quality food and sushi, I'm an absolute regular at this place. I've lost track of how many times I've been here. Each time has been better than the last.

Also they are open late leading to many excellent late night dinning experiences. The owner is always kind and helpful immediately seating us. I genuinely love this place, a community gem. read more

Best value are the bento boxes. For $2 more you can select 3 items. I chose chicken teriyaki, mixed tempura and Cali rolls. I was stuffed. I ate it all. The chicken teriyaki could use more teriyaki sauce and the vinegar cucumbers can use a bit more sugar. It was too vinegary, imo. I liked the mixed tempura. It was light in color not overcooked like some other places. Clean and spacious restaurant. Service was on point. Plenty of parking. Go give them a try. read more
