It's been over 3 years since I last ate here (where does time go) and finally got around to re-ordering that pork belly bowl MINUS the bean sprouts this time! They *still* haven't added in a brief description of what's in the bowl which kinda sucks, but whatevs. Props to remaining consistent after all these years! The pork belly bowl was pretty much how I remembered it. Honestly for the price point and the portion, it's really not a bad deal. I wanna say it was no more than $13? However, it was incredibly dead during peak dinnertime and I'm not referring to business. It was just so quiet to the point where I think people were maybe feeling self-conscious about having conversations. Definitely more of a lunch take-out spot in my opinion. Anyway, like I said 3 years ago, not bad. I might consider coming back for lunch for that pork belly bowl since I work right down the street. read more

We were in Orange County and stopped at this restaurant for lunch. We had Sesame Chicken bites, Ahi Poké, Sushi roll and a variety of Sashimi, plus a bowl of my favorite Tonkotsu Ramen. The service was quick and menu choices were good. There was plenty of food for three people to share. It's a good place for lunch or dinner. -Happy hour prices are available from 3pm-6pm, on Wednesday through Friday (closed Monday & Tuesday). -Street parking is available and a nearby public parking lot. Sincerely, Rosemary read more

The food was really satisfying. Located in downtown placentia. They have traditional rolls and specialty rolls. Definitely coming back for more. The restaurant is pretty small but it makes up with good quality food. Next I'll come in and sit down but my over all experience was nice. Parking sucks in the front of the store luckily there a back lot plenty of parking. read more

Flavio was our server he was training but super helpful and friendly. Had such a delicious lunch with my friend. The spicy tuna crunchy rice was delicious and my friend ordered the tempura california roll. He also gave us vanilla ice cream at the end that was so nice of him. Wasn't very busy when we got here but the food was delicious. Would def come here again to try more, shocked I have never been here before. Thanks to my friend for picking me up and taking us to this delicious sushi place. Would recommend checking it out, good service not great parking but pretty decent size inside and also seating outside as well. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha read more

We were in town and were in the mood for Japanese food. I came across San Sushi on Yelp, and immediately went for them after seeing their menu was quite expansive. We ordered the Jalapeno Albacore appetizer, Mixed Tempura appetizer, the Basic & Beautiful roll, a side of fried rice, and a kids udon. It doesn't sound like a whole lot of food, but it was filling. The kids udon portion was, to our surprise, pretty sizable, and we loved that we were able to share our plates and make a meal out of everything. The service was top notch; our server got our order out in a timely manner, and everything was delicious. The restaurant itself was clean, AC on full blast during the hot summer day we visited, and there were TVs and light jazz playing in the background. I'd consider this a good spot for any occasion; family dinner, date night, dinner out with friends. read more

Really good sushi, but odd hours of operation. They are closed on Tuesdays, and then close between lunch and dinner on the weekdays, but then are only open for dinner on Saturday, and are open for both lunch and dinner on Sundays. Just pay attention to their hours before heading over. There's limited street parking, with some 15 minute spots, and a senior citizen only spot too. I loved our choices, plus we got a free mini vanilla ice cream scoop at the end of our meal. Loved that too! read more

Food was on par with grocery store sushi. Not good if I'm being honest. Service was very earnest which I appreciated. They are obviously young and figuring out their mojo so that's okay. Overall wouldn't come again, sorry. read more

San Sushi - Calamari Legs - Sushi Bars Near Me - Placentia, California

My fiance has talked about San Sushi many times, this has been their go to Sushi place even before we've met! Located in Old Town Placentia, this place is quite charming, has a small mom and pop vibe with friendly staff and expedient service. Being this was my first time and heard so much about it AND I was really hungry, we ordered quite a bit. To begin with, we started with the: *Calamari legs - perfectly fried! I really liked it, tender, flavorful and not gummy. We jumped in right away with the Sashimi and ordered the Sashimi Sampler! not going to beat around the bush but if you want an instant wow, then try this sampler plate! a trio of Tuna, Salmon and Yellow tail, so fresh and delicious, it just melts in your mouth good! oh, one more thing, make sure to order a side of Premium Wasabi with it - you will not regret it - TRUST ME! For the rolls, we ordered: OC Sunset - so good and delicious! I love the generous slice of salmon on top! and this roll isn't small mind you, it's a mouthful! Fire Tempura Roll - I like this a lot but I am still partial to any rolls having a generous amount of fresh fish on top lol Summer Night - I like how fresh and delightful this roll is. A combination of tuna, salmon, yellow tail with Avo & Cucumber - it's like summer in your mouth :P For two people, I think we ordered quite a bit but... we ate it all! I really like San Sushi, good food, friendly service and I love the neighborhood sushi place vibe - definitely in my places to re-visit! Kampai! read more

2nd visit, still just as good. Orders this time: Spicy tuna salad with dressing on the side- great size for sharing, lots of salad which was refreshing Jalapeno albacore - great appetizer though I wish it had some more texture items (e.g., fresh onion, fried onions, sprouts or something else) - would still order again Red yellowtail - not as good as the jalapeno albacore, probably won't order again Tri city roll - nice roll, would order again Summer night roll - nothing special but not bad, probably won't order this again Hot sake - probably won't order again, flavor was a little... Bland read more

Our weekly go to! It's reasonably priced, decent quality fish and service is superb. The restaurant is spacious and looks like a local hangout. My husband loves the $3.95 beer special and the Jazz music playing in the background. Our usual faves: Sashimi Special Albacore with crispy onions Zip code Salmon skin roll Spider roll Yellowtail Carpacc We changed it up a little since I was craving udon read more

I've door dashed here twice now and both times, excellent fresh sushi! I love the shrimp tempura, the crunch roll and the rainbow roll was delicious! The garlic edamame is so good with lots of garlic and flavor.. the sesame chicken is good too and the sauce is a little spicy, but i enjoyed it so much! Prices are decent, especially for door dashing! Overall, i like the food here and can't wait to try more things! read more

Kids and pet friendly place with outdoor seating and kids menu options. The complimentary ice cream after eating is a plus. Price is reasonable. Large enough portions. Fish tastes fresh and the sauces are on spot. The outdoor seat was nice even though covered with a bit of dirt. read more

San Sushi - Dynamite Roll (9pc) & Spicy Beef Ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Placentia, California

PARKING: This is in Downtown Placentia. Parking is not great here, but I came during a weekday and an off hour, so I found parking right in front of the restaurant. FOOD: ***PORTIONS ARE SMALL*** Keep in mind I only ordered appetizers. $9 MIXED TEMPURA: It was OK. Not terrible, but not good enough for me to come back. Some pieces were crunchy, but most were not fried enough and limp. Something that tempura should not be. $9 CALAMARI LEGS: fried squid, these were fried to crunchy perfection and served with a spicy Mayo aioli. $13 ALBACORE CARPACCIO: I've never seen albacore sliced so thinly in my life at any restaurant. It was my favorite dish that we ordered, but I'm still shocked about how small all the portions were. SERVICE: Was quick & attentive. Not many people in the restaurant when I came, but the staff was wonderful & did their job perfectly. OVERALL: I didn't think it was BAD, but I also think it's at the bottom of my list for Japanese/Sushi restaurants in this area. I came here for this first time because I was passing by it and was short on time. The portions are wayyyy too small. I personally will not be back. They did nothing wrong, I just didn't enjoy it. I also ordered hot tea and even that was not hot. More like a luke warm and was cold before I could finish it. I am not trying to bash this restaurant in any way, this is just my personal opinion on my first experience here. read more

San Sushi - MENU as of AUGUST 2023 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Placentia, California

Excellent sushi at an excellent price! Quick service too! Tuna, yellowtail, and tamago all fantastic and fresh.

We were a party of 13 so I called ahead to make sure there was going to be seating for us all. They were accommodating, very nice, and the food was fresh and delicious. I wish I had ordered more dishes for our group. The place is small but cozy and we felt comfortable, not at all squeezed in. While close to where my guests were staying, it was kind of far for me, but I think I would go back. read more

Great service, atmosphere and food! Will come again and found our new spot in downtown Placentia. read more

The food was delicious, Greg (our server) was great! We were craving sushi & this place did not disappoint !! Will definitely be back

This sushi spot is tucked away in a random part of old town Placentia. There was a good amount of parking nearby and you just have to walk a tiny bit to the entrance. Appetizer: Garlic Edamame was good. I wished it had a little more "sauce" or garlic flavor but I did enjoy it as a start. For $5.95 can't complain! Rolls: OC Sunset - very delicious! The rolls were rolled larger than most places. I particularly liked the spicy mayo on the side! $13.45 Summer night- this one felt very refreshing. I really liked this one a lot! $14.95 For a hole in the wall it was clean and servers were nice. Also, check in on Yelp for a free drink or ice cream!! read more

First time coming here, 10 out of 10. Great food with amazing service from Greg. He had a full house and attended everyone with a timely manner. We will be back soon. Once again thank you Greg!!! read more

Husband and I needed a quick dinner on our way back to San Diego and this wasn't too far a detour from the freeway. The food was pretty tasty and the prices were fair so I would give them a solid 4 stars. We had the to tonkatsu ramen, salmon bento box and spider roll. The ramen had flavorful broth (which is always a plus) and good consistency noodle. The Chasiu was yummy and good ratio of lean and fatty meat. The spider roll was good but I'm also used to larger portions at other places for spider rolls. Lastly the salmon in the bento had good texture but I feel like it was a little lacking in flavor. I had to make sure each bite had teriyaki sauce for taste. Don't forget to check in on Yelp as well as it'll get you free soda or mochi! read more

Nice little restaurant in a quaint blocked off area. When you walk up the windows are a little dark and you see chairs upside down on a table in the corner so you may think its closed but try the door because they're probably open. Servers are friendly and attentive. Quiet for lunch on the weekend. Unless you get that random guy eating alone and feeling insecure so blasting his conversation on speaker phone at the table next to you. Food comes out pretty quickly. Calamari legs are good but don't expect too much. Dumplings are cute not very large but a bit greasy. My husband likes the spicy miso ramen and phillie roll combo. Rainbow roll and salmon avocado roll are pretty good. I personally didn't like the poke bowl. They should ask what kind of sauce we want or put it on the side. It wasn't very good so I was like wiping off the fish on the salad. Didn't really work though. Kids meals are really good. Chicken teriyaki was fresh and a good amount. Udon is like an adult size bowl. It kept growing. Check in and you get a free soda or free ice cream. Overall very good. Decent prices. Nothing outrageous but if you're in the area check them out. read more
