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.

The service is always friendly whenever we come visit! The food also comes out quickly, which I love for any AYCE sushi spots because I dislike waiting too long and feeling full before eating my expected fill. There is a variety of nigiri and premium options. All the sushi we've gotten looked and tasted fresh without any strange aftertaste that would lead us to question the food quality. The restaurant is large with plenty of seating, so we've never had to wait to be seated for dinner (but we also could have been lucky every time). The only issue is there is a noticeable unpleasant smell that affects the dining experience a bit.

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.

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!

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 !!

I made reservations so we could get the premium set. It was our first time, so not sure what to expect. The reservation for seating wasn't needed as the tables were mostly empty but the reservation was needed to make sure the omakase was available. There was no sushi bar seating, so the omakase came out all at once instead of a piece by piece experience. That's fine. Oddly though, the waiter did not explain which fish each piece was, but the sushi chef James told us at the end of the meal that the waiter was new and Chef James then explained the fish himself. Weird backwards experience but every one was kind and well-meaning. The quality of the fish in the nigiri was exceptional. Some of the best I've had in the area considering how close it is located to competitors like Ooshima and Kaigen etc. The fish all came dressed, which was to be expected. It was all pretty delicious except it was all just a little bit sweet for my taste.. I prefer more savory, salty, or lemony. That being said, the quality made up for the preference in taste which could easily be remedied with some soy sauce, ponzu, lemon, etc. The bite of Wagyu nigiri was genuinely the best wagyu I've ever had. We also tried the mussels and agedashi tofu for hot appetizers. Would 100% recommend either dish. Overall, happy with the experience as wifey was a happy birthday girl. We did not have room to try any regular rolls so I cannot comment on that. The one negative thing I will say is to absolutely skip the handrolls - any of them. The machine compacted rice made a roll that should be delicate feel mishandled and ruined the texture/experience of that roll. That being said, will definitely be coming back again for some more of the best quality nigiri in the area.

I originally reviewed Ohshima about 10 years ago after a disappointing experience, and I honestly…read morenever expected I would come back and completely change my opinion. I'm so glad I gave it another try. We returned last night and sat at the sushi bar for the omakase, and the entire experience was excellent. The service was warm, attentive, and welcoming, and the omakase was fantastic from beginning to end. Each piece was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared, with a great variety of fish, textures, and toppings. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, and several of the pieces were absolutely beautiful, especially the richer tuna and toro pieces and the delicate white fish. I also really enjoyed the traditional style of the experience. At the sushi bar, the first 10 pieces are chef's choice, and the focus is very much on the fish rather than elaborate American-style rolls. The progression of the omakase felt intentional, and it was fun seeing what would come next. Most importantly, the quality and service were completely different from the experience I wrote about all those years ago. It's only fair to update a review when a restaurant deserves it, and Ohshima absolutely did on this visit. We had a wonderful dinner and I would happily return. This was a complete turnaround for me and easily a five-star experience.

They are quick with everything and very attentive. Food comes out quickly. FOOD (5/5): $8 GARLIC EDAMAME: a classic and delicious starter, can't go wrong here. $14 GARLIC BUTTER CLAMS: small portion perfect for sharing as an appetizer. Subtle taste. $10 MUSHROOM CHAWANMUSHI: I love steamed egg. It's so silky and warms you from the inside out. $28 GRILLED BLACK COD: this was a good sized portion. Super buttery and flavorful. I recommend eating this with rice. $32 SCALLOP CARPACCIO: I LOVE raw scallops and this dish was great! My only complaint was that they served the scallops whole, I wish they were cut in half. The pieces are so large it's hard to eat in one bite. At least for me. $36 UNI (SEA URCHIN): this is also pricey but is always one of my favorite bites! Comes with 2 pieces of sushi. It's so soft and buttery and I just can't even explain the taste. It's an acquired taste but I love it! $32 BLUEFIN OTORO SUSHI: WOW! This was so fatty and delicious! It comes with 2 pieces per order. DEFINITELY get this! Amazing! $20 GOLDENEYE SNAPPER: this is one of my favorite cuts of fish! Also comes with 2 pieces, it's lightly torched. $14 YELLOWTAIL: 2 pieces sushi, already dressed with the perfect amount of sauce. A classic. $25 LIVE SHRIMP: for 1, a little pricey, you only really need one per person. It's so fresh and you can get the head deep fried which is my absolute fav! $14 KING SALMON: price for 2 pieces, fattier than normal salmon. $2 SIDE OF MARINATED WASABI: this is my favorite thing to eat with raw fish! OVERALL (4/5): This is definitely one of my favorite sushi places in the area and surrounding areas. They have amazing quality fish and prepare it perfectly. Great selection of sushi and non-sushi dishes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Thanks to my bestie for bringing me to this place! I feel like we've discovered a hidden gem!…read more Can't decide between hot pot and Japanese food ? This place lets you enjoy both, so there's no need to choose! Let's talk about the sushi first! Honestly, this is some of the most satisfying sushi I've had recently! Everything is made to order and served fresh, sometimes still slightly warm. The best part? More fish, less rice! That's such a nice change from places that load up on rice and skimp on the fish. Especially at an AYCE restaurant, it means you can try more varieties without getting full too quickly! The salmon and tuna sashimi were thick, fresh-looking, and had a naturally sweet flavor. I also really enjoyed the torched eel sushi and butter shrimp sushi. You can even request less salt in the sauces, which is a thoughtful touch. Fried items, side dishes, and seaweed salad are included, too, so there's plenty to choose from!

Ordering was also really easy on the webpage, which made the AYCE experience 10x better.

Pepper salmon was great, and the portions of rice were a good ratio relative to the fish. Our group ended up getting lots of salmon, but I wish we got more hand rolls as those were really good too. Def recommend and want to come back :)
