The spread
Pat C.

Was here twice both dinners and the experience was solid both times. The apps are generous in size, the salmon collar was nicely charred, the sashimi were good too, service is very efficient, as the kitchen and service staff dance to the same music without missing a beat. Neat little neighborhood sushi bar, highly recommend. 5 stars

california roll

Great food, good amount of servings and it wont break the bank. You know a place is authentic when the chefs and the servers locals of the food they serve. The service is top notch....attentive and respectful. Very clean and nicely decorated. Lots of seating inside. we came at the right time because they were not busy, but by the time we are done lots of costumers came and they seem to be repeat costumers. Plus my gauge for a good restaurant aside from the food is that the restroom is clean.

This delicious special is filled with crab and asparagus tempura!!!!!!!!

I stopped here on my way home from Laguna Beach and traffic was unbearable. I am so happy I did!!! I was not only happily welcomed into this adorable and clean establishment, the owner made me the best uni sushi!!! Huge pile of uni!!!!!! Nice to try new special rolls from a different place away from home AND BOY!! DID I PICK THE RIGHT PLACE! Mr Sai was so happy to accommodate me and everything was sooooo fresh and delicious!!!!

So Awesome! Entrance

The fish so fresh! So many options!! Atmosphere is date night and family friendly! Great music and the chefs are hilarious and consistently making sure you're ok (I sat at the bar) lol the server she was sooo cute!! I did not get her name but will definitely be coming back Saturday to bring the whole fam! 10/10

Salad
Pinxs B.

Food was fresh. We ordered Born Again roll, 2 orders of Salmon belly sashimi, sashimi dinner (comes with miso soup and salad--miso soup was so-so and the salad looks kind of pathetic, it tastes ok. Service was prompt. So prompt that I feel rushed to order coz they kept asking if we're ready to order. Also I noticed one of the servers keeps watching and was always ready to remove any plate we are emptying. Ambience was ok, quiet when we went for dinner. Saw a few take out orders.

Truffle X
Nayeli S.

Came to have a dinner date with my sister and we both left satisfied! We kicked off the evening with spicy edamame and their shrimp tempura. Their seasoning on the edamame is chefs kiss, pro tip: dip your tempura in it if your palette loves spice. The ambience is also very welcoming. We came around 6pm so they had a bit of a wait but the wait time is totally worth it. We ordered their 3 rolls and a Sapporo. My personal favorite was the yellow submarine roll (fresh and light) 2nd Truffle X (spicy and savory) and last marine boy (recommended if you like onion). Totally coming back and bringing the rest of the fam.

Escolar

This is a good place if you're looking for some fresh sushi near Costco! The service is friendly and the speed at which food comes out of the kitchen is really fast! The only reason I don't give this place a higher rating is because I felt that the rolls (we ordered 5 different rolls) and they all kind of tasted similar in my opinion. I think their menu has too many items on there and the rolls are heavily sauced up that to me, they kind of felt the same. Yellowtail sushi was really fresh! Salmon belly nigiri was delicious and fatty! Escolar was good seared! This place is good. If you're around the Costco area its a nice place to try. It's definitely no Japanese high end Omakase place, but it isn't some low level revolving sushi place either. So if you're looking for sushi that's kind of in the middle, then this is a solid place. This is 100% my personal opinion.

Madi S.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem of a sushi restaurant, and it has quickly become a go-to spot for me. We ordered the Hajikami Dinner Sushi Combo along with an extra California roll for 2 people. It was more than enough food. To top it off, we were served complimentary edamame. The service was quick, attentive, and efficient. Restaurant is small and cozy. The spicy tuna roll was a standout--it had just the right amount of kick, leaving some warmth without being overwhelming. As someone who usually steers clear of anything spicy, I was pleasantly surprised by how mild and tasty the spicy tuna roll was!

Another great time at Sai! He's the best! Always my first choice on a Friday after a long week!

Great food
Neluta G.

Amazing my new fav place for sushi. We go here every week when I am not traveling. The owner and his wife make us feel very special when we walk in. Everything is fresh, made to order, also great artistic presentation, almost too beautiful to eat. A MUST for the Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills locals and also for visitors in the area.

Reviews are largely positive. Diners highlight the fresh sushi, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Generous portions and reasonable pricing are also appreciated.

I did an online order for pick up and ordered over the phone so this review is solely for a pick up order experience. They also have an online ordering system as well for anyone who wants to order online if eating there is not an option. I ordered two rolls. The first roll was shashimi cucumber roll. This one is one of my favorites. I feel like they put a lot of shashimi inside and it is very filling. The second roll was the I love salmon roll. This one is hands down my favorite. Super yummy and also filling. I will definitely be coming back here. Hopefully next time I can eat there because if it taste this good after a pick up order I bet eating there is even better!

HIDDEN GEM. Always impressed with the service, food and…read moreexperience. Tonight we sat at the teppanyaki grill & celebrated our anniversary. Once the whole party was seated & our order was taken, we received our delicious ginger salad and miso soup quickly. When our chef arrived he was ready to put on a show! He was so fun, engaging and very genuine. All of the food was amazing. I got the filet mignon steak w/ fried rice and my husband gets the sumo steak. The filet mignon is definitely worth it but if you prefer more meat, the sumo steak is the way to go. The drinks are affordable and compared to other teppanyaki places, the food is affordable and absolutely worth it. They also offer a happy hour in the dining room only - does not include the teppanyaki grill area. Truly one of our favorite places!!

3.5/5 Stars - Nice Experience, But Some Service and Timing Issues…read more We visited Tabi-Ji Teppanyaki for my husband's birthday and had an overall decent experience, though there were a few things that would make us think twice before returning. We chose the dining room seating rather than the teppanyaki tables. The staff did offer us the teppanyaki experience, but since we don't eat red meat or chicken from certain places and weren't sure how the food preparation process worked with mixed ingredients, we opted for a regular table instead. One downside was the seating arrangement. We were seated away from most of the other guests, and it often felt like the staff forgot we were there. Our original host/server was attentive and friendly, but once they were busy with other tasks, it became difficult to get assistance. It was also not busy for a Tuesday evening. We found ourselves waiting for long periods or having to wave someone down, which wasn't ideal, especially for a birthday dinner. As for the food: * Crunchy Spicy Tuna Roll (4/5): Fresh, good quality fish, and a generous portion. A solid sushi roll. * Garlic Edamame (4/5): Flavorful and exactly what you'd expect from a good appetizer. * Lobster Duo with Miso Soup, Salad, and Fried Rice (3/5): Unfortunately, the lobster was quite chewy and seemed overcooked. The miso soup and fried rice were both enjoyable and helped make up for it. * Unagi Donburi (4/5): My husband's meal came with white rice, miso soup, salad, and fried rice. It was his first time trying eel, and he really enjoyed the soft texture and flavor. He said he'd definitely order it again. Our biggest disappointment was the timing of the food. The Unagi Donburi arrived significantly later than everything else. By the time it came out, we had already eaten most of the appetizers and other dishes and were pretty full. It's unfortunate because it seemed like a dish that would have been much better enjoyed fresh, but we ended up taking most of it home. Overall, the food ranged from good to very good, and being able to reserve through Resy and use our Amex dining benefit definitely helped offset the cost. However, considering the price point, we expected more attentive service and better pacing of the meal.

There's only two…read moretableside chefs so you will need to wait until they're done cooking for the opposite community table. Our group of 9 fit perfectly at our own table, and thankfully, we had some good convos while we waited, and waited. Probably 40 minutes later... our chef came. We felt badly as it was 100 degrees heatwave outside and inside was just an industrial fan trying to mitigate the stifling heat and stuffiness. The price is definitely good for the portions and the show they put on. Please do not look at the amount of butter they must slather onto the cooktop for each menu item and side.... It looks like a huge snowball. They also give coupons in the Valpack mail, which is surprising because I usually don't see any place I would like to visit. So that was another $15 off our group tab (no separate checks). I would return maybe when they first open so I can be part of the first wave of diners.

I visited twice in the last month and I never should have gone a second time. Our friends love it…read moreso I thought I would give it another shot. We had reservations or 6:30pm and the host never acknowledged us. After 15 min of waiting, my husband flagged down a server to let her know we were waiting. We didn't get seated until 7pm and it took another 20 min to finally get our drinks and food ordered. We didn't get our food until 7:45pm. This happened BOTH times we went. The chef seemed like he hated working there. He didn't interact with us. There were no ticks or jokes. The food was mediocre and under seasoned. I don't think they turn on the AC. Both times we went it was uncomfortably hot. The chef was sweating and so was the server. It was pretty bad. I will not back.

We ordered the 5-roll Omakase set for $28. The fish quality was average, but the biggest disappointment was the rice-to-fish ratio--it felt like 2/3 rice and only 1/3 fish. Compared to other hand roll restaurants we've tried in OC, they were very skimpy on the filling.

My magic number is 4 rolls to get me full. Service is great, Andrew helped us on our last visit. Very attentive and kind.

There's also a to-go option if you don't want to wait for the bar. Ambience is clean and efficient. They have limited seating so come early if you can. If you come towards the end of the day, you might not get seated. We came at 6:30 the other day and waited about 30 minutes. It was an easy wait since my bf and I got our grocery shopping done, since Hand Roll Factory is inside of Tokyo Central. Love this spot and the convenience of it being inside our favorite grocery store!
