    Campechana
    Cindy A.

    Thank you Owner Memo for making this lunch spectacular! I came in with hubby for lunch around noon and there were plenty of seats available. The ambiance was lively with upbeat Spanish music with some cold drinks on this hot day! Hubby got the campechana and I got the ceviche tostada and some yummy rolls! The Campechana was very filling with around 8 shrimps and 3oysters, abalone, and octopus and more! The rolls are pretty big and the portions are above average! Definitely coming back to get the lemon roll with salmon and the monster Frankenstein with chunks of lobster!! Melt in your mouth yummy goodness!!

    Ceviche tostada

    This is my go to spot for ceviche tostadas. Fresh and scrumptious! They do not taste fishy at all. The first time I ate here, I had to wash my clothes and hair because the smell permeated both So, just beware that you might smell like a fish market if you sit inside for an hour or two. The service is warm and friendly. Definitely a Corona favorite!

    We ordered the Mojarra and I couldn't get a pic fast enough my husband demolished it. It was so good according to him lol. I ordered a fish taco which was delicious and the Sushi Ahi tuna tower which was fire! We will be back.

    Extra crispy tilapia. Delish

    This is a local hidden gem. The fried fish will have you coming back for more. My only complaint is that they close early so I have to leave work early in order to make it on time

    Wow that an amazing hidden gem. We came for dinner for the first time and it could not have been a better experience. We had no clue there was sushi also offered so that was a great surprise! We ordered ceviche and it was so refreshing. They have a house made salsa that paired with the ceviche perfectly. We ordered and then found a table luckily. Seating is limited so if there isn't seating next time I have no problem taking this to go! The quality of food was amazing and the staff is so kind. The sushi chef is incredible! The rolls are prepared with such precision and I cannot wait to go back. The shooting star roll was one of the best rolls I have had. I recommend everyone try this spot out! They truly have something for everyone.

    This location was recommended by many die hard seafood lovers.! Not only do they prepare the best authentic Mexican seafood dishes like ceviche , aguachiles, mojarras ,cocteles and even shrimp or fish tacos ; they are also a seafood market offering fresh seafood sold by the LB (pound) to cook at home. My favorite dish is their botana vip and aguachile, so good! Order comes with sauces and tostadas everything u need to complete the meal . The establishment is small and typically busy on weekends but service moves fairly quickly considering everything is prepared fresh. I highly suggest calling ahead to place your order if you are going to pick up or in a hurry. This location also has sushi bar and serves alcohol but I have yet to try any of their rolls. I have bought fresh fish and shrimp a couple times now and they never disappoint! No fishy smells here , nothing fancy here just good quality seafood and delicious food!

    Both food and Micheladas' did not disappoint.
    Rose M.

    The Mariscos were delicious and the Micheladas' were bomb! Ambience was welcoming. And the service was exceptional. Thank you!

    Toro sashimi

    We were blown away by this hidden gem! As you first pull into the parking lot, you'll question if you are in the right place. The faded window sign isn't very visible, but it does have the business name on it. Upon entering, it is set up like a fish market with a small seating area and a small sushi bar area. You order first before finding a place to sit. We ordered some fish tacos and ceviche tostadas. We grabbed our drinks from the fridge and sat at the sushi bar top. The sushi chef greeted us and asked if we needed anything. As we waited for our food, the kitchen started bringing out complimentary appetizers for everyone in the restaurant. It looked like a jalapeño popper, but it was filled with different types of fish, and the exterior was tempura. The appetizer was sooooo good! It was our first time there, so we asked the sushi chef about the restaurant and the menu options. He was very knowledgeable and made some recommendations for next time. He even gave us some of the Toro sashimi to try, and it was AMAZING. Our food finally came out, and it was excellent! The portions were large, and everything was delicious. We can't wait to come back to try out other menu items.

    Absolutely amazing. My family and I wanted to try out this place for a while since it came recommended by a really good friend of mine. We tried a little bit of everything because everything looked amazing as it was coming out for other people that were ordering. Definitely will be making us a go to spot.

We stumbled upon Rakki when we first moved to Chino Hills in 2023, and took a break from coming when our son was in the oven. It was definitely our go to Sushi spot when we had the energy to make it out there. We loved the various choices of nigiri, sushi rolls and even the appetizers. Shortly before they closed, the owner even gave us a complimentary yellowtail collar which was absolutely delicious, amazingly flavorful and super juicy (we never ordered this previously, since we always went with the AYCE option). The AYCE was very reasonably priced for what you got, and could be considered on the very cheap end, for quality of the food you got and options available. Rakki Sushi got high praises from our foodie friends who would visit us as well. The chef and staff were always super nice, they always came to check on how we were doing when they weren't too overwhelmed with the busyness, and we loved how super friendly they were. Our son loved the staff as well, and he always gave them smiles back in response to theirs. The ambience was more of a local/casual sushi spot, rather than somewhere fancy, which my wife and I greatly enjoyed since we like dressing comfortably in just t-shirts and joggers. The tables, seats, and utensils were always clean when we went there. The men's restroom wasn't the cleanest looking, but given the location it was understandable. Plus, we were there for the food, and not really to strictly use the restroom. We greatly miss you Rakki Sushi and hope you are able to come back one day!

    I read some of the reviews that this is one of the best AYCE sushi places and I've been wanting to…read moretry it. The place didn't look like much from the outside -- a little run down in an older strip mall. But you can't judge a restaurant from the facade. I wouldn't say it's the best sushi I've ever had -- it's not. But for an AYCE place -- wow, it's pretty good. My previous favorite place was tomikawa in Irvine, but this place might be better. All the sushi we had was pretty fresh. And the other stuff we had such as jalapeno poppers and gyoza were very flavorful and tasty. The baked scallop could have been a little less runny, but the flavor was very good. The pieces of sushi are all very small -- I provide a picture with my index finger for perspective. Since the place is AYCE, this isn't a diss... Just something you should know. So if you think you want 4 large pieces of sushi, you might order 6 or even 8 here. In a way, I actually liked the smaller pieces, as they're easier to pop in your mouth and chew, and you can easily order a lot of different kinds to try without worrying that you can't finish all of them. The only thing missing is udon or ramen. I like to finish off a meal with a little warm noodles, and that's a notable miss. I'm not sure it's totally worth a deliberate trip from Irvine ... But we're definitely going to stop by any time we're in the area.

What really blew us away right off the bat was the massive menu. Sometimes all-you-can-eat spots skimp on the options, but this place has an incredible variety of rolls, appetizers, and fresh cuts to choose from, making it hard to decide where to start. The food itself absolutely lived up to the hype. Doing all-you-can-eat sushi can sometimes be a gamble, but the quality and freshness here are top tier. Every roll we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic, with perfect fish-to-rice ratios. We tried so many different things from their huge selection, and not a single dish disappointed us. It is clear they care about the ingredients they are serving. The absolute highlight of our night, though, was the phenomenal service we received from our waiter, Cole. He was absolutely amazing, super attentive, and incredibly friendly from start to finish. Good service can really make or break an all-you-can-eat experience, and Cole went above and beyond to make sure our orders came out fast and our table was taken care of. We are already planning our next trip back and will definitely be asking to sit in his section!

This last visit (April 18) was the worst yet. The drinks are actually great, the bartenders know what they're doing. That's the only redeeming part of this place. Now the sushi... completely different story. It took an hour to get a lobster roll, and what showed up had little to no lobster. It was mostly shrimp, not even a mix, and to make it worse, there was visible shrimp vein (yes, the poop tract) still in it. Completely unacceptable, especially for something being sold as a lobster roll. (See photo.) It also took another hour to get just three types of sushi, and the yellowtail was cut poorly, chewy and full of muscle, not clean or fresh. At this point, this isn't a one-off experience, it's a pattern. I've given this place multiple chances, and the food quality and timing consistently miss the mark. If you want good sushi, skip this place. If you want solid cocktails, sit at the bar and leave it at that.

He apologized but I was thoroughly disgusted and told the owner that I can't eat here anymore.

Thankfully I was able to eat each piece in one bite. The roll was cut into nine pieces. So much more than I thought I would receive. Since I am not used to eating this type of food, I wasn't sure I could safely consume it the following day so I made sure to eat it all. I really enjoyed it.
