Eel and Salmon Bento Set/ 鳗鱼和三文鱼组合便当 was absolutely delicious! Nice juicy and flavorful
Aileen L.

What a truly hidden gem in a strip mall in Santa Ana next to the post office! I've been passing this spot when I come and visit my friends snd today finally gave it a chance! Definitely was not disappointed and the workers, I think a husband and wife mom and pop situ, were the nicest ever! Will definitely be making a return and eating my way around the menu!

King eel Bento Box with Fish sticks!
Ian C.

This place looks like it's ran by a mom and pop that seem like really passionate business owners. The restaurant is located in a strip mall thats sort of in the ghetto. Me and my sister with my nephew decided to take a chance! We walk in but sadly the place isn't really kid accommodating because the place only has high tables. So definitely not a place to bring young kids or 2 year olds because they definitely won't sit and keep still lol. Kind of left me disappointed but I ordered from the table using the QR code and waited for my food. I got the king eel bento box with fish sticks. I received my food and it looked delicious but did it taste delicious?... eh it was okay. The fish sticks tasted kind of like the frozen ones you get at the grocery store lol. The eel pieces were good but were a bit fatty. The salad was delicious though! Overall I paid $18 for the meal and have to say it was okay at best. I think what really sucked was they had no low tables to accommodate my nephew and other than that the food was okay. I would say look elsewhere for your sushi fix but if you are in the area, support mom and pop businesses like this place!

I saw a reel in Instagram to come check this place out! Came from Riverside and sad to say this is NOT sushi!!!!! Their recipes are not Original. They had extra seasonings and dressings and none of their menu items had what is in their roll to know what's in it. The second you walk in there's a strange smell. Their seating/chairs are so uncomfortable! But the cherry on top of out night was we saw they add mustard to a roll and we said oh no thank you in the mustard and the owner/husband huffed and puffed and agreed that canceling that order would be easier but was YELLING at his wife/server and being total disrespectful and made me feel even more uncomfortable I couldn't get out of there sooner!! HORRIBLE ATTITUDES, FOOD, and CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Every time I come to Irvine, I will go here to eat here. The ingredients are fresh, the taste is delicious, and the boss is very nice.

egg that comes with salmon bento box
Melissa T.

hidden gem is what another reviewer said and i agree. it's in a little plaza and should probably be more busy because the food is good. we came here because the menu had a wide offering, to satisfy any japanese craving. the ramen was better than some specifically ramen only spots. the sashimi salmon bento was so good and fresh. i wish i took a picture of the box. it came with this egg that had baked crab meat that was one of the best things i've had. on top of the delicious food, it was all reasonably priced and the service was great. i'm assuming she was the owner but she was really nice to my girls.

10pc nigiri
Derrick T.

What the heck?! This place is so humble and unassuming. I believe someone wrote in their review "hidden gem", I couldn't agree more! If I didn't just open up my shop across the street I would never have known about this place. It looks like they have a decent offering, but I had to go with the basics and if they pass, then I'll explore the rest of their menu. So I got the 10pc nigiri and I was shocked that it was GOOD. The fish tasted fresh and the rice was correct in vinegar ratio and temperature. It wasn't fancy and that's why I loved it, especially because I don't want to pay for the fancy price points. Haha. I'm hooked and they just gained "a regular". 10/10 recommend.

Eel roll and rainbow

This place would be the definition of hole in a wall spot. Friendly waitress, the moment she saw our water get low she would come over to fill it up. The food was served in a timely manner. For the sushi, super fresh no fish taste all. I'm super picky about having crab in my rolls because I don't like how fishy it is. In the eel roll specifically, I did not taste any crab at all just the warm eel 5/5 would come again

We had the spicy garlic edamame to start, and honestly it was one of the best spicy edamame's I've…read morehad. The California roll was solid, and the 911 roll was really good, definitely spicy, but still manageable even if you're not great with heat. The Ebi Lover was good too, but the real standout was the Snowflake. And no, I'm not being biased , this roll was just THAT good. The combo of fresh fish, tangy ponzu, and a little baby cilantro tied everything together perfectly. It's easily one of my top rolls ever, and I'd come back just for that. Service was super fast, the place wasn't too busy, and the sushi overall was really good. Prices were moderate, nothing crazy.

It's been awhile since we've visited and remembered enjoying the experience from previous visits…read more There's ample parking. We got there at 5:45pm and it was already semi packed with several tables already reserved. Ambience is nice, restaurant is clean and spacious. Service was good. As a walk-in we got seated right away at the end of the bar, which was fine (since we wanted to sit at the bar) and hadn't made reservations. Note this is a review for what I would call a tier 2 sushi joint. I consider tier 1 to be more omakase style and/or premium Michelin star type venues. We enjoyed everything, especially the uni toro spoon. The hand rolls and rolls are filling so it's a great value for your money. We had hot sake and Kirin. Was able to catch the last few minutes of the happy hour menu - Sky special & hot sake. We ordered the following for 2: Tinker Bell hand roll, crispy rice spicy tuna, Sky's special, Bubble Bee roll, triple belly sashimi, seared salmon belly carpaccio, black cod sushi, Nodoguro (white fish) sushi, unagi hand roll, salmon skin hand roll, uni toro spoon (my favorite)! Would come back again to enjoy your everyday typical tier 2 style sushi. Tier 1 sushi is typically saved for special occasions.

The service was great, and it was quiet since it's a Monday at 4pm. The location is small and cozy. I liked that the rolls were 4 pieces since that meant we could try more than usual. The rolls were good, rolls are usually hit or miss with me since they're normally too saucy. The 3 we got were good and had diff flavors (sexy Hawaiian, monster roll, and unagi xo). My 5 star goes to the yellowtail jala, omg it was SO GOOD and the yellowtail just melted in my mouth. We ended up ordering another one and I could honestly just eat this all day. I can't wait to have it again. I also got the bluefin tuba nigiri and that also melted in my mouth. The quality of the fish reminded me of having sushi in Japan. I can't wait to go back and get the nigiri's and the yellowtail jala!

I don't usually go to all you can eat because I feel like the quality is not great. I don't know how Chobop does it but their all you can eat is one of the best I have ever had. The rice to fish ratio is perfect, the fish tastes fresh, the appetizers are delicious. Next time I will order less rolls because the nigiri was truly the star for me. Service was also incredible. Can't wait to come back!

This place used to be called sushi Imari and the sushi was great. For some reason all the yelp…read morereviews from sushi Imari has been migrated to this new "all you can eat sushi" place and that is neither fair or accurate. Today we went there not knowing of the change. The food is now certainly "all you can eat" quality. We opted against the all you can eat limited menu, and ordered of the regular menu but the quality was terrible: 1. The toro nigri was chewy, very thinly cut, with a very small piece of rice. 2. We could not tell the difference between regular salmon and the salmon belly nigri they brought us. It looked and tasted exactly the same. Definitely not fatty salmon belly. 3. The yellow tail belly was chewy. 4. All the fish in their nigri sushi were thinly cut with very little rice. Definitely all you can eat amount of fish. 5. The rolls were small and for some reason all tasted the same with little flavor. If you like all you can eat sushi places which always offer low quality fish, you might like this place. We will miss sushi Imari and the great quality sushi they served.

I used to really enjoy this divey old school conveyor belt sushi bar. Sometime between the last…read moretime I came in and now, they revamped their entire ordering system. Gone are the charming slips of paper where you write in your seat number and tick off your orders and slip it into the order cylinders that rotate its way to the chefs while also having the waiters available for the incidental things you require like beverages and condiments. In its place is you holding your phone and desperately tapping it, whether you're trying to get a cup of water or a hand roll. Neither will come out very fast and it's completely frustrating. Walking in, I noted how easy it was to get a seat this time. Now I know why. The food remains mostly basic and mid level quality. Random dishes roll out on the conveyor belt so that's accessible as soon as you see something you like but the items you really want, like the daily specials, you have to order. And that's going to take a long time, you'll be forced to pick up things you only half want just to have something to eat. Adding up the bill is another trial. Four of us sat at a booth table. They had no way of offering us separate bills even though that is standard when you're sitting at the individual seats. Why don't they just add a letter to your booth number for each person?? Anyway it took the waitress at least 15-20 minutes standing there to figure everything out and even then it was messed up with things being left off some bills, wrong items added to wrong bills and double charges for others. When told of these mischarges, she told us to work it out amongst ourselves. I wish I could have but I didn't even get a receipt, just told an amount to give her as she walked away. There must have been a change in ownership. The entire wait staff is now Vietnamese and the chefs are Mexican. Nobody Japanese left in sight. That's not necessarily a requirement but the restaurant sure ran better with the previous Japanese owners and staff. I will probably go elsewhere for my conveyor belt sushi fix from now on. Maybe wait for the next owners to show up.
