i've come to this restaurant recently during the lunch special and wow, it was really good. i had a kamikaze roll and a salmon hand roll for $19, lunch special b! both were very tasty and the salmon tasted excellent. the service was very friendly and relaxed, the server was very nice and polite. it's overall just a cozy and clean restaurant, i will be back! read more

I'm writing a review today because this place definitely clears your standard sushi spot. A couple pros and cons based off what I ordered -- the regular rolls had less fish and more cucumber than expected. However, the specialty rolls were a lot better; you pay a little more, but they definitely pack them with more fish. We also ordered the hand rolls, which again had a little more cucumber than fish. Overall, I'd give this place a 3 out of 4 stars. Service was good and everything came out fresh, but the quality and portions of the fish could've been better for the price. read more

Solid sushi go-to spot! Service was suuuuper friendly and the sushi was fresh and delicious (nothing over the top creative - but had all the standard options). The salmon nigiri had a great portion of salmon and was really delicious. The dining area spacious with outdoor options. I'll definitely be back. read more

Subpar service, bland food, and weird vibe. There was a live band playing very loud and weird music that just made the whole experience even worse. Pretty lame atmosphere for a place in Fullerton on a major street corner near Downtown Fullerton. Place was pretty empty too. The food was not very tasty, and this is coming from someone who is not a tough food critic. Also, how does a SUSHI spot not give ginger and wasabi!? Why are you making customers ask for ginger????? In my 20+ years of eating sushi, I've never had a restaurant not give me ginger with a sushi roll. And whatever, ok sure, I'll politely ask for some. I ask for some and your server brings out 2-3 tiny pieces of ginger for the 5 rolls we had at the table. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Sushi here was out of this world! The salmon sushi is my favorite resembling a buttery texture and impeccable flavor. All of the rolls we ordered were blissfully wonderful and fulfilling! The lady serving us was patient, kind and helpful. 10/10 would go again! read more

This review is about the patio and live music. My husband and I saw the British Invasion band on Saturday. They were awesome! The dance floor was packed. The weather was perfect and the patio is lovely. We shared a lemon salmon roll and garlic edamame. Both items were fantastic. We are lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant with a beautiful patio in Downtown. The service was great as always. read more

I only did to go. My order was placed and said time to pick up around 7pm, ok that's fine I'll pick it up after work. I got off a bit early and was only a few mins early. Went in and was greeted immediately and showed the lady my order and gave the name. She went in the back and came out and told me that they are almost done. Waiting for about 2 mins and another server came out and handed me my bag. Sweet! It was fast and easy. I told like coming here since it is close to home. The restaurant wasn't as packed yet, but it was still early. I recommend this place to eat sushi. I got the firecrackers and soft shell crab. It was good. read more

My sister and I found this place in a cute plaza in downtown Fullerton & I'm so glad we stopped in. The sushi is melt-in-your-mouth GOOD. You can tell they care about quality! there was more fish than rice (always a win), and the rice itself was soft. Every bite felt super fresh. Service was fast and genuinely kind. The staff was really attentive and made sure we had a great experience. Prices were super reasonable too! around $13-$20, which is pretty standard for sushi, but the quality felt above average. Not too busy when we went, and they had calming music playing, which made the whole vibe even better! read more

Love this place! I used to work nearby and it was a great spot for a quick lunch or sit down dinner. The quality is always super fresh and the staff are super friendly! They have a great outdoor space as well that often offers live music on weekends. Definitely worth the check out! read more

The food here was perfectly fine! Not particularly memorable even though I went alone and ordered more than my share. What i absolutely do remember is that this restaurant is on a corner so I parked across the street and walked to it, except the garden side is not accessible from the outside. And I wasn't sure where to go so I ended up walking around the entire building and the entrance is through this walkway, past the coffee shop, under this garden gate archway...and then the restaurant is split into two sections so when I walked in, there was no one working around and it just felt very awkward. And then the restaurant very heavily showcases their religious faith...on the walls, on the menu, by the music playing. And it's fine but it was overbearing. The people were nice and I want businesses to succeed but I just personally am not compelled to return. read more

What a great place for lowkey chill sushi! I came here for lunch on a Saturday around 12:30pm, the restaurant wasn't busy but had a few tables. They had lots to choose from but my favorite I ordered was the Spicy Salmon Crispy Rice, it was spicy but sweet with the crunch! The ambience inside is beautiful and mellow. The outdoor seating is something i'd love to try too! read more

I keep hearing about sushi fire and since it's right near me, I figured I'd better go check it out. I am a huge sushi fan and it better be good. Upon arriving our lovely server Me lani was amazing. We had sushi, sashimi, albacore avocado roll, edamame, miso soup, tempura shrimp, egg rolls, sake, you name it lol and everything was spectacular! The place is really cute but the sushi bar side doesn't open until 4 o'clock daytime serves lunch on the other side and on the patio, but the sushi chef is working behind the sushi bar in the closed off room. We will definitely be back again. it was fresh. It was beautiful and the service couldn't have been better . read more

First time in this nice set up of a sushi restaurant they have plenty of space for outside dining and a small space for indoor. I guess in the evening people tend to take the tables outside. This restaurant is right at the corner of Harbor Blvd and Chapman Ave. My wife ordered the Hamachi Kama Bento box the main dish is the Broiled Yellow Tail Collar and mixed Shrimp Tempura. The tempura was small and burnt and not golden however. The Yellow Tail Collar tasted just like regular fish. I ordered Salmon Handroll and Salmon tempura. The hand roll was good but the Salmon Roll was smaller than the picture of the menu ( see my pictures) Service was fast. Coming back here for a second time, I might think twice. read more

Food was good, and very well presented. The restaurant ambiance was decent. Service was also decent. 4 star instead of 5 because although it was good and I'd happily go back if someone wanted to go, I'd personally choose somewhere else read more

Sushi Fire in Fullerton is a top notch sushi restaurant! We were a group of 4 and each of us had something different. The location is easily accessible with lots of free parking in the spacious lot. The ambience of the space with medium-level lighting allowed us to chill and enjoy the experience. The Menu is HUGE with about every combination of Sushi you can think of. Everything was super-fresh and the warm dishes (Crunch, Baked & Cooked Rolls) were cooked to perfection. The standouts were the Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice Cake, Vegas Roll (a Crunch Roll with Tuna, Avocado & Sweet Chili Sauce), Bento Box (there are so many combinations of choices), Angel Roll (Spicy Tuna, Avocado, Salmon & Spicy Mayo) and different types of Nigiri & Sashimi. The service was well-timed and the wait staff was friendly and efficient. I will definitely go back again to try more things. read more

There is no sushi bar here. All food is prepared in the kitchen which is out of sight. The food: 10/10. We shared the large sashimi platter and the spicy tuna crispy rice. I had an additional blue crab hand roll. All were excellent. And the fresh wasabi was delicious! The ambience: 3/10. We found the vibe to be a downer. They are obviously a Christian restaurant and play Christian Muzak-style instrumental on a tv screen with the playlist and the lyrics to the songs on the screen. There are also bible verses on the menus. I don't object to their (or anyone's) religious preference, but I don't think it should be foisted on diners who just want to eat some good sushi. I won't go back, as there far more upbeat and fun restaurants with sushi bars and a much cooler vibe. read more

The place was all decked out for the holidays... ornaments, lights, poinsettias, & Christmas music all around! There's indoor & outdoor (w/ heaters) seating. It's very cute, quaint, & casual, but could easily be romantic if you choose a table off to the side. Our server was very attentive & sweet. Her voice was almost sing-songy... such a lovely lady! We were very happy with the Nami roll, the spicy crab & scallop hand roll, & another roll I didn't get to photograph because it was gobbled up too quickly! Something albacore w/ spicy mayo on top - yum!! Even my simple bento box was delicious... the curry, the sauce for the gyoza, the crispy chicken breast - nothing to complain about. All the sauces & textures were just perfect. The only thing missing from the menu are no-rice rolls. Other than that, we'll be going back. They were out of the madame jasmine tea, & I luuv me some lychee, so I'll even go back just for that! read more

The food was okay, but the rolls and portions were small, and the prices were crazy. Four rolls, two hand rolls, and one beer came out to $140 -- insane. read more

We ordered sushi rolls, sashimi, and ramen, and everything was really good. The sashimi was especially fresh and high quality. There is also a bar with beer and sake, which was a nice touch. The atmosphere was very welcoming and cozy, with a clean and bright indoor space and an outdoor patio. The staff was friendly, and parking was easy in the parking lot. Overall a great experience and we would definitely come back. read more

My friend was in the mood for sushi so we decided to try this place next to our favorite tea spot in DTF. To start, this place looks like it needs to be updated, the menu is a bit confusing- they could have the sushi and sashimi in the front and any extra stuff like ramen in the back. Not many staff, so you have to wait some time to get some service. The whole place looks like it caters to women because me and my friend were the only men there. It could be a cool sushi bar, but that's my personal opinion. Restrooms are decently clean. Not a bad place but it left me underwhelmed. read more

The surrounding area is GORG. We were coming from a flea market in downtown Fullerton and wanted a bite to eat, so we settled on this sushi spot. The courtyard in front?! The arch to enter?! Beware, you will not be able to enter on the doors on the outside - instead, you have to go around into the lot (as a pedestrian) and enter through the arch, which the sushi spot shares with a coffee spot. There's plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, but we opted to be inside. It was oddly quiet for around lunchtime, but we enjoyed the space to ourselves and our server was attentive! I had the chirashi bowl (pictured), and it was fresh and delicious. Solid spot! read more

I only gave it 3 stars because I don't know how to put 3 1/2. I thought 4 would be not an honest rating. With that being said the ambiance itls really great. The place is really clean but I did not give them a 5 because I think the food lacked flavor and the service could be much better, I had to continually ask for refills on my drinks and anything else, I needed. Our waitress did not check-in with us at all. We always consistently had to ask for anything that we needed. And sometimes it was hard to even find Her. read more

Came here by chance, after being at Dripp next door. They kind of share the outside patio, however the restaurant cuts off half for their patrons only. We ordered jalapeño poppers as an appetizer, spicy but delicious! I ordered the Philadelphia roll and a draft Sapporo to go with it. Roll was a good size and tasted fresh. We ate on the patio since it was nice and shaded with their pergola. Service was very friendly. Overall I'd recommend and come back. read more

First time coming today for lunch and it was quite lovely. Once again I forgot to take a photo of my meal, but I just purchased the Bento Box with the Orange Chicken, Gyoza and Spicy Tuna.

With such a big outside building, I was surprised to find such a small restaurant. It was somewhat intimate, but I liked that. It was decorated nicely and felt very comfortable. The sushi was delicious! It tasted fresh, and the rolls were creative and nice. There was a large variety of rolls to choose from. Service was fantastic. Very kind and friendly. I look forward to returning! read more

This place has a great location and the outdoor seating is really nice in good weather. The waitstaff is friendly and service is pretty fast. However: Parking is painful, even on a weeknight. The food was OK, but nothing to write home about and at the price of Sushi right now, it needs to be good to earn stars. The restroom was clean. Not really a date night sort of establishment, more of a "lets go to Sushi Fire on the way to ____" sort of a place. read more

Very mid sushi, the service was good however the sushi wasn't very fresh and the edamame was squishy and smelly. Wouldn't dine in again

Hands down the best sushi experience we've ever had. Every single time we go, the service is exceptional--warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The fish? Always incredibly fresh, melt-in-your-mouth quality that rivals anything we've had in high-end sushi spots around the world. They're fast without rushing you, and the menu is thoughtfully curated--plenty of creative options alongside all the classics. Every dish is beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. You can tell the chefs take real pride in their work. From the first bite to the last roll, it's perfection. Whether you're a sushi connoisseur or just getting into it, this place will exceed your expectations. We can't stop recommending it to everyone we know! A true gem. read more

Cute spot. We found this on a Saturday around 1pm. Not busy at all. I noticed there's no sushi bar and more of like a cafe feel. Service was great. Sushi is good. Not the best, not bad either. Id revisit if I was in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way. I think the owner saw that I checked in and came to our table to say hi. read more

We've only gone here once, but we're regulars at Dripp next door, so we'll be back. We're locals so this should be our sushi place. The patio seating is great on a nice evening, the service was attentive, and the sushi was as good as anywhere, and as expensive. Parking might be tough on a busy night, especially when there's less due to the construction in the lot, but it shouldn't be hopeless. I don't know where the fire comes in to play - I don't think we even ordered anything cooked - but it's a good local sushi place. read more

Came here with a friend for lunch on a Saturday and wasn't too busy. The vibes were good and so was the service. The menu was extensive with two pages dedicated to different types of rolls. They also have nigiri sushi you can order in a set of two pieces as well as options for warm foods like noodle soup dishes. I got the Lemon Roll ($16.50) without the lemon - a California roll with Salmon on top. The roll was ok considering the price for the value. My friend got nigiri sushi and chose a few selections. Overall the quality of the food was alright, I wonder if the rolls with more sauce might be better but I guess I really wouldn't know. The ambience was nice and our server was very kind and helpful. While this place might not be for me, it might be a good option if you come here in a group and each person has a different preference for rolls, sushi, noodles, etc. read more

Located in downtown Fullerton and with beautiful indoor / outdoor seating options Sushi Fire has all you could ask for. The Sushi and Sashimi is TOP TIER ! They also have noodle dishes ( Udon, Ramen etc.) that are fantastic ! I go here as often as possible even though it is a little bit of a drive ( but sooo worth it ! ) I told my friend ( who is a SUSHI SNOB ) about this place and he boasts that he only goes to the most reputable Sushi bars ( even Japan recently ) and his review was that Sushi Fire has THEE BEST Toro sashimi he has EVER had ! Better than any that he had in Japan ! read more

1. Ambiance and Environment Sushi Fire is a somewhat secluded spot in Downtown Fullerton in an inward-facing outdoor plaza. The exterior of the restaurant was very clean, but you will have to keep walking deeper into the plaza - past the coffee shoop and a bit into the outdoor area - to find the entrance for Sushi Fire. The interior of the place at the time of my visit was heavily decorated with winter holiday ornaments (see attached photos) which made the place feel current. Aside from the holiday decorations, the seating arrangement was very spacious and tons of natural light brightened up the dining area with the support of a few interior lights. The windows floor-to-ceiling windows aren't tinted, so it may be a bit awkward getting seated at tables right next to it because you're very visible to the folks walking outside. 2. Food and Drinks The food has such great presentation that I was pleasantly surprised when they brought it out. The sushi rolls looked neat and tight. It also had some garnishes. The bento box was also really well presented. It looked like the food was placed in the box with care. Sometimes rice just gets thrown in a plate, but the rice here looked like it was first shaped with a bowl then placed in the box. Really great flavor on top of the great presentation really elevated the food. They also bring you a pitcher of water for self-serve water, which was really appreciated because I personally don't like having to keep calling the server back for water refills. The miso was also nice and hot. 3. Service The staff member that we were helped by was a very kind person. They were conversational and talked to us about the holidays, but was very respectful that one of my friends didn't celebrate the holidays. The staff member kept checking up on us, but not in an overbearing manner. Amazing customer service, overall. 4. Pricing The pricing of both the rolls was slightly higher than usual, but the bento box felt appropriately-priced. 5. Restroom I did not use the restroom at this time. 6. Parking There's parking spots right outside of the plaza that it's located at. Parking wasnt an issue, and there's plenty of spots even with the other business at the plaza. read more
