Place was jus ok for me. Maybe I didnt really order the right things. Service was ok but they needa be more organized. Their main menu doesnt have the sushi/roll items so at first we didnt even know they had those things until I asked for it like maybe 15 mins after our initial order. Freshness/quality wise I enjoyed the sashimi as well as the lobster sashimi. The rolls I had were solid...nuthin to write home about. They should really have a description of what the rolls consist of cuz on the sushi/roll menu it jus has the name and theres no description at all so I just ended up choosin whatever sounded cool, which was a totally bad idea cuz most of the rolls ended up bein tempura rolls so there wasnt much variety. The lobster order is a sashimi and after u eat it, they turn the remaining parts into a soup. It was a lil too mushroomy for me. I didnt enjoy it that much. Overall the place was not bad but its not really a place id recommend or frequent again. Apparently their uni bowl is the sh** but i dont particularly love uni so meh. read more

Wow. Great sushi here! Very good and extremely fresh. We sat at the bar and Moses and Mike took very good care of us. Mike knows his stuff when it comes to sushi. We left well informed on certain aspects of the sushi world. The rolls we got: Tiger Crunch, Dynamite and Albacore. And tuna, halibut and salmon sashimi. All very fresh and not fishy smelling. The owners are very polite and service was great. I am very picky when it comes to sushi. No complaints on our end! Def coming back! read more

Mansun Sushi - Dynamite roll! - Japanese Near Me - Walnut, California

It is Father's dinner, (Very Bad Service).The waiter just place all the food on the corner, (not the center of the table). And we only have 45 mins to eat. (She keeps telling us, I got a group of nine people to come in after we sit down.) Here causes two stars already. Back to the food, the sushi is like Toys, no taste, not fresh. Taste like shit. Only the $26 uni can rest. read more

Korean styled sushi. No idea why this place has 4 stars. Ordered the extra large Sashimi Special. The quality of sashimi is extremely poor considering what you're paying for. Sadly, the quality is only slightly better than your average revolving belt sushi such as Kura Sushi in Brea, yet a whole lot more expensive. Rolls... I don't even know where to begin. Lacks flavor. Also, poor time management skills - they left our entire family boat at the counter for at least 20 mins before serving us. Uni rice bowl... nothing special. Pretty much like a poke bowl with uni. Also, the matcha ice cream served at the end of dinner was way too sweet. All I tasted were the sugar and cream and zero matcha taste. They have no real wasabi, only the fake horseradish stuff. Ginger isn't that fresh either. Sorry, rather stick to my favorite Ootoro Sushi at walnut. read more

Sushi was all right. I had a hard time to order takeout because of the host's English.

Great service and food. Haven't been here for about a decade. Still as good as before. Reasonably priced still as well.

We were just denied entry to the restaurant because my elderly father had a service dog. The restaurant was not even half full and the hostess said service dogs were not allowed because there were too many people. When advised of the illegality of her actions, she said simply said we could eat somewhere else. read more

Parking sucks, had words with the exercise shop owner next door. Got the hwedutbap, ca rolls and chicken teriyaki. Fish was a joke, pieces were ridiculously small. CA rolls had no cucumber and barely any avocado. Two stars bc the chicken teriyaki was good. But how do you mess up chicken teriyaki, right? read more

Horrible customer service. We waited over 30 minutes for our first roll to arrive which was very chewy. The fish smells fishy and my wife got food poisoning from eating hear. I went back to let them know that maybe there fish went bad and others may have gotten ill and the owner was very rude. I took a sample home and sent to a lab and had it tested. The DNA did not math what they sold the fish as and there were parasites in half the samples. Avoid if you enjoy not sitting on a toilet for an entire day. read more

Sigh... Where do I begin. We've been coming here for at least the last ten years. The last few visits, vowing never to return. Oops I did it again. The quality has gone downhill for a while now. I don't mind paying more for quality instead of sacrificing quality for the sake of its prices. We ordered the small sashimi combo ($65) thinking it would be enough for two of us. The fish slices were small and thin. The sides were old, edamame tasted like it was about to go bad. When I told the owner lady, she just said, it's because you ordered the small combo. WTF? Saddest tiny slices of fish I have ever seen at a "sushi" restaurant. read more

This place is absolutely delicious. We come here at least once a quarter to have the sashimi and uni bowls. We usually get the sashimi platter that feeds. around 4-5 people. It comes with two live uni bowls. I cannot stress how good this place is. It completely exceeded my expectations. Food: Superb. I found it odd that there were Korean side dishes for appetizers, but came to realize the place is owned by Koreans. Great appetizers! The sashimi is fresh. The live uni bowl is cut open when you order it so the spines are still moving. My little cousins found it to be the most amusing thing they have ever eaten. The Uni is extremely fresh. It is topped with rice, tobiko, seaweed, squid, and I believe sesame seeds. The Sashimi platter came with lobster, salmon, tuna, yellowtail, squid, and halibut. They take the lobster head when you are done with it to make soup out of it. Service: The restaurant is small but the service is on point. They are extremely attentive, even when they are busy. It may take a try or tow to get ahold of a waitress but they are extremely apologetic when you do get their attention and realize you have been trying for a while. They give you refills on the banchan if you ask for it too! Cost: Pricing is fair. The uni bowl is $14 by itself if you get it alone. It is not on the menu so you should ask for it! The sashimi platter is pricey if you look at the cost, but once you split it up among the people at the table, it is not too bad. Recommendation: highly recommend. You won't regret it if you like fresh sashimi and uni. read more

This place is always packed, so we made sure to come extra early just incase. Parking is limited, luckily there's a farmer's market around the corner that has plenty of spots open. The severs were extremely courteous told us to get the man sun special 45.00 per person for the full experience so we abided. First they came out with Korean sides, which I thought was pretty interesting since we are here for sushi... it suddenly struck me all the servers are Korean. What a nice break from the norm! I was feeling like trying something new. Besides the Korean sides, we were also given salmon heads, snails , and oyster shots, and other assorted sides. Afterwards came the sashimi platter with the lobster head as the focal point. The fish tasted extremely fresh my favorite is of course the uni. After the first piece I can tell the uni is extremely fresh! I couldn't get enough of that sweet creamy medallions which are only possible from freshly opened sea urchins. After that plate of goodies next came the uni bowl in which they used the sea urchin shell as the bowl. They also reused the lobster head that was used as decorations on our sashimi plate to make a noodle lobster soup, now that's ingenious! Feels like I'm at a recycling center haha. I admire a chef that respects the ingredients, and especially one that uses the every possible part so nothing is left to waste. That's the way it should be done! Service 5/5 Taste 4/5 Value 4/5 Overall 4/5 Bottom line, would I come back for seconds? Absolutely but.. not for thirds. read more

Came in for lunch and was immeduately greeted by staff and seated. We ordered the beef teriyaki bento box and an Uni Bowl. Before the meal came out, we were given miso soup and a bunch of sides. The meal came out not too long after. Friendly staff, good food, good service. It was the first time we tried an Uni bowl as we saw others with the sea urchin on their tables. The lady explained the taste, then even came by to help mix up the ingredients within the bowl. I would come back again. read more

*** Note, when ordering, POINT TO THE ITEM(S) YOU WANT ON THE MENU TO AVOID CONFUSION. "SPECIAL $45" is a completely different menu than "MAN SUN DINNER SPECIAL". All my friends rave about the sushi special here that comes with a bajillion dishes that includes quality sashimi and the famous uni bowl. I came with my boyfriend on a Sunday and decided to indulge in this feast between the 2 of us, with expectations already to take home leftovers. This special is listed in the menu as "SPECIAL 1 PERSON $45". No other description. So we clarified with the waiter that this is indeed the special that comes with the uni bowl, and he said yes. We proceeded to order "2 of the Man Sun specials". Food started to slowly come out. First, an array of all my favorite banchans. Good start here. Then miso soup and salad. We were watching the sushi chef make a giant platter of sashimi and was pretty excited that will be ours soon. However, that was not the case. The waiter brought it to another table. We saw the sushi chef make 2 small platters of sashimi and nigiri. The waiter brought this over to us. We were slightly disappointed but thought maybe because we were a smaller party, so we got a smaller platter? Next, we got tempura. Now my boyfriend was even more confused, since he didn't remember getting this last time at all. We ate everything and still enjoyed it. But we were still waiting for the uni bowl and there was supposed to be grilled fish and lobster soup as well. But rather than giving us these items, the waiter gave us our check. Wahh? We asked where was the rest of our dinner, and he said that was everything included in the "Man Sun Dinner Special". What. So there's another special on the menu that is almost quite literally the same name as the special we wanted!?!? Okay that could be anyone's honest mistake, but what made me mad was that the first thing we asked the waiter was about the uni bowl! Why would you give me the special without the uni bowl if that's all I really wanted?! He talked to his manager and eventually gave us 2 comped uni bowls, which I thought was the right move to do, so thank you for that. This was delicious, but I wished I still got the grilled fish and lobster soup to take home as my lunch leftovers the next day. I was willing to drop $45 on this meal, and although we ended up paying less and getting free food, I still left unsatisfied. I wouldn't be opposed to coming back and trying the real special, but until then, this only gets 3 stars from me. read more

This is one of the best local places to come get delicious sushi! Man Sun is super affordable, but the low prices have a cost of their own: they miss the mark by a small margin when it comes to freshness and service. Their miso soup, while good, is a little too salty--almost as though it came straight from a packet, but it's complimentary and served alongside a salad so all things considered it's a net gain. Additionally, their California roll avocado is a hit-or-miss deal, where sometimes it's great and others, it's served brown from the get-go. On a more positive note, you can get a whole meal for incredibly little here (as low as $6!) and of the same quality you'd find at most other, more expensive, sushi restaurants. read more

We found this hidden gem trying to look for a decent Sushi restaurant close by a relative's home in Brea. The restaurant sits in a busy street and you can park on the side or the side parking lot. We arrive at 5pm right when they opened and we were the first customers there. We ordered a few dishes to try and boy was it amazing. And the price is just right. Customer service was superb. 1. Dinner sashimi platter includes: 30 big slices of chef's choice. The fish was so fresh. 2. Teriyaki beef dinner plate we didn't even get to it because we were so full. 3. Edemame was delicious 4. Uni bowl: this dish seriously exist? So apparently this is off the menu. But almost every table ordered this. Generous amount of Uni, roe, radish pickle, seaweed salad, and seafood mixed. This dish has a great blend. The Uni literally melts in your mouth. So good. So fresh. 5. Grilled Hamachi Kama: it didn't just came with one but two. This place knows how to cook this right. The meat was perfect and moist. Not over cooked or dry like many places. Seasoned just right and we didn't need dip into any sauce. 6. Sake can't go wrong with sake This place serves several free small side plates like Korean restaurants which was a plus! It came with boiled quail eggs, squid sashimi, mixed seafood cold plate, seaweed salad, porridge, soup, grilled garlics, conge, salad, Korean pancake, the best burnt rice tea, and if you don't that is enough they give you ice cream at the end of your meal. Since we came there on Christmas Eve, the owner was graciously giving out presents to all the little kids. My kids score! Can't wait to come back and try more off the menu dishes like the eel sashimi wrapped in some kind leaves. read more

UNI BOWL? Served in its shell?? I was flipping through the pictures of this place and was immediately sold at the first picture of the uni bowl. Not only do I love me some sea urchin, but it comes served INSIDE the actual shell? That means it's fresh!! However, it's not mentioned anywhere on the menu, another Yelpers' secret. :) Pay attention to your map! If you didn't know what it looked like, it's definitely hard to spot. This little sushi joint is located right next to a liquor store, there's a parking lot with plenty of parking and some spaces on the street in front as well. As usual, my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I went for the large sized uni ($14.95). The waiter kinda just left my guy to die at the sushi bar as he took his time preparing my rice bowl. I saw my urchin sitting there for about 10 min. I was a bit disappointed when it arrived to my table not moving anymore. Sorry to sound so morbid, but I like to see it still moving to ensure its freshness. It's weird at first, but it's just one of those things that you must see! My order came with miso soup, and when the waitress came with a platter of banchan and stopped at my table, I was a kid in a candy store! I love Korean appetizers! Service was exceptional, the waiter was very polite and acknowledged me as soon as I stepped through the door even though he was busy cleaning other tables. Refills were given in a timely manner and the waiter and waitress passed my table a few times to ask if everything was okay. AND before the bill came, the waiter offered me some ICE CREAM! Yay! I hear great things about their sashimi and noticed most customers ordered their Chirashi bowl. I'll be back! read more

What just happened? This was like a crazy show! So much food came out and in crazy forms. The place is a small hidden gem. They have great hosts here. We sat in a private room for six. It was a fun experience and I would love to eat here again. Started off with some ban chan type of dishes. Seafood pancakes, seaweed salad , snails, quail eggs, shrimp, and fish cake soup. You don't really see this stuff at other Korean or sushi type places. A huge plate of fresh sashimi with a lobster on it that was still moving! I was a little shocked but it was dope. The sashimi was in thick chunks and very fresh. Salmon, yellowtail, albacore, uni, and tuna. The uni was like butter! So damn delicious! Lobster roll - a deep fried roll for people who can't eat the fresh stuff. Very good! Crunchy roll - you cant go wrong with this. Pretty much like other sushi spots. Uni rice bowl - mixed uni bowl with white rice, ginger, seaweed salad , and some eel sauce. Mixed together and you get some magic. It also comes in the spikey uni! Green tea ice cream - great way to end our amazing meal. Thank you to this amazing experience! I left with a huge smile and a bigger belly! Recommendation : Go all out here! read more

Are you one of those people who are leery about going to a sushi place that is run by non-Japanese? I'd have to admit that I am one of those people, but once you know why you're here then it doesn't matter... Man Sun is a Korean run sushi bar that panders to that type of crowd looking for fresh sea urchin (uni) and lobster, but without spending premium sushi bar prices looking for a deal. Naturally they offer so much more than just uni and lobster but I surmised that this is what lures people in: the chance to have shellfish so fresh that the tentacles are still moving (ok folks, it's not a Jedi mind trick, all they do is squirt a little lemon onto the critters and their just cleaved nervous systems are reacting to the acid)... It's hard to crack the code of the menu unless you can read Korean so allow me to explain the omakase or chefs choice, which here is called the Man Sun Special Combo. As it was explained to us by the waiter (and I use the term loosely), there are three levels for $50 / $75 / $100 meant for two, three, or four people. Even though there were only three of us, they recommended the $100 level because that's when they serve you the lobster, naturally. I suppose if there were more people in your group then they would adjust the price upwards in increments of $25 and adjust the portions, but regardless of how many people are in the group everyone gets the uni bowl... I can only say that you need to try this at least once. The uni is indeed fresh -- sort of sweet, buttery, and creamy. The texture was a little soft, it didn't quite have the firmness or texture that looks like the papillae bumps on a tongue. and yet it wasn't fishy or funky in smell. A lot of the flesh is presented with the sashimi but the star is the uni bowl itself. They save the shell of the uni, spindly spikes and all, and load it up with rice, seaweed, ginger, roe, sort of like an uni chirashi... delicious... The other part of the meal I remember most is the lobster sashimi. It was the first time I've ever had it. It doesn't have a strong fishy flavor and the texture was gentle and soft, not very firm. They would later take the head and the claws and make a soup out of it adding tofu, daikon, and cilantro. They called it a spicy lobster soup but it was mostly white pepper taste that I could tell. Much different experience having lobster this way instead of the usual boiling... Much of the rest of the meal was secondary to me and inconsequential, it's just that I know what I came for. The sashimi is good quality but not best quality. They hit you with the banchan right away so you can get started on the salad. For a while, they kept coming with more and more dishes that we were quickly inundated with things to try. As I think back we got quite a lot of food for (only) $100... I would give Man Sun a five star rating but the service was a little uneven, lazy even at times about busing and cleaning tables like a few reviewers had mentioned. We had a short wait for our table initially. We were treated mostly with courtesy but at times they would forget themselves and engage in stuff that you would not expect to see, like the waiter helping himself to uneaten sushi (not ours) that was left behind. I'm not naive, this goes on in every kitchen, but for crying out loud don't do it where I can see you do it... Still I would return and bring a couple of friends that I know who like uni. I might even come back for lunch where I read you can get an uni bowl for $15... read more

For ~$15, the uni bowl is served in its spiky shell with a thick bed of creamy uni still attached and hidden underneath sushi rice, seaweed salad and masago. There was a good amount of uni in the sea urchin I got, and they were all big pieces. It was nice to dig and keep finding more and more uni with each bite of rice. The uni tasted decently fresh and not too fishy/briny. Complimentary to the order were hot brown rice tea, miso soup, banchans, salad, and green tea ice cream. The brown rice tea was interesting with actual crispy bits of rice. The banchans included were shiitake, bean curds, bean sprouts, broccoli, radish, and mashed potato. Miso soup, salad and ice cream were standard. All this together made for a really good deal and satisfying meal. We parked in the lot for the farmers market/liquor store and walked over. There's also street parking available. read more

What a great hole in a wall sushi restaurant in Walnut! After hearing so much about their uni bowls, I decided to pay this place a visit on a random weekday night. The Uni bowl was not on the menu, but it was only $14! My friend got the man sun dinner special for $22 which includes a roll, nigiri, sashimi, and tempura. This place comes with banchan which was seriously the best thing ever- it's like Korean and Japanese food mixed into one! They had such a wide variety too; from the typical tofu skin and bean sprouts to quail eggs with salt and shrimp! We were super impressed with the selection and the taste of the banchan. Next up, the magnificent Uni bowl. It definitely lived up to my expectations; not only was the Uni fresh, the toppings that came with the bowl was a great complement! After mixing everything together with the rice and Uni, the bowl was perfect. My friend really enjoyed his dinner special, and I also ate some of his sashimi. The fish was surprisingly really fresh and well cut for such a random spot! I could see why they specialize in sashimi platters; they know what they're doing! With all the banchan and the food we had, we ended up being really stuffed. Prices were of a great value for what you get. The Uni bowl was cheaper than I expected, and it also surpassed my expectations! I plan on coming back here the next time around to get the sashimi platter. So delicious! read more

We ordered the medium sashimi platter, two sushi rolls (shrimp crunch and dragon), soft crab shell, and grilled kama. Their sashimi is so fresh and for the portions I think the price is very fair. My favorite was definitely the salmon, and the slices were medium thickness. Their sushi is also really good and decent sized. I liked dragon the best. My mom loved the grilled kama, especially with the sauce. I highly recommend you to check out this cute family owned restaurant. I'm really impressed by the quality, and am grateful that they are able to still remain open at least for takeout during these times. Their customer service is really great as well. You definitely will not regret coming here! read more

BEST KOREAN SUSHI I've been coming to Man Sun for over a decade with my family. The owners are kind and generous and we love their food! The best deal here is to get the Man Sun Special for $45 per person. You get a HUGE array of food: sashimi, seafood spicy soup, fried mackerel, fried flounder, fish cake soup and rice porridge appetizer, quail egg shooter (my fav), Korean pancake, a bunch of yummy side dishes (roasted garlic is my fav) and the ever so popular UNI RICE BOWL!!! Add $10 extra and they will give you lobster sashimi and another soup dish I think. Anyways love it here and you will not regret getting the special! Order a bottle of soju or beer with your meal it's the best combination ;) read more

We arrived at Man Sun with hopes of fulfilling our sushi cravings after finding out Ootoro was closed on Sundays!! There went our plans! We got lucky with parking and got a spot at the mini parking lot for the exercise shop next door. They were closed, so it was fair game. There wasn't a wait when we arrived and were greeted cheerfully by some of the staff. Unfortunately, service wasn't consistent during the night. Some waitresses seemed moody and barely acknowledged any of our "thank yous." Just poured water and turned away without a smile or anything. I already came in here hoping to get a delicious chirashi bowl because Ootoro has won my heart over with theirs. I got the #3 off their dinner specials list, since it sounded just like a chirashi bowl with it stating "raw fish" and "fish egg." I agree with the other yelper who stated there needs to be descriptions on the menu. The order was actually a plate that came with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and etc. The fish was fresh, but the cuts were on the smaller side. Compared to Ootoro expectations I was underwhelmed. Not to mention, the fish egg had a tinge of rose/floral flavor? That was odd. My boyfriend agreed. He got a dinner combo that came with sushi, nigiri, and tempura. The salad that came with it was good I have to say. We even received some banchan dishes, since it's Korean owned. I enjoyed them, but the boyfriend, not so much. I also forgot to mention that it took FOREVER for someone to take our order when everything was already dying down. I was ready to leave, but thankfully someone came by right when the thought crossed my mind. If the waitresses were a bit friendlier I would probably have had a more enjoyable experience. Too bad. read more
