Classy interior and quite spacious. We came on a Friday afternoon before 4pm. It was getting quite busy but we were seated right away. So the timing was perfect. Our host was friendly and he explained how everything works. As soon and we submitted our ticket, the food came out quick each time! They came out fresh and tasted amazing! 10/10 read more

My first time here, and I finally tried the volcano and angry bird roll. I'm not sure if I'm just sensitive to scents, but I could smell the sear off the tuna. It also had significantly more rice on it than the other, but I'm guessing it's because it had more tuna on it. It wasn't as tasty as the other roll I ordered. Overall, I think I prefer Chubby Sushi across the street more. But, they do package everything nicely. They only gave one ginger for the 2 rolls, but it was in a bigger container. If you take food to-go, be careful because things can get smushed in transit. I think it's okay as a sushi place, and it's definitely got an aesthetic from the outside. However, it doesn't really win me over, so maybe I'd have to try some of their other rolls. I have other favorites in the area that are just a bit tastier and better with packaging presentation. read more

I'm so glad I chose this location instead of Buena Park because the service was so amazing! My friends and I decided to do the Signature Menu ($39.99) and it came with 3 rounds, 10 piece per person each round. There is a section of certain orders you can only order once a round so make sure to keep an eye on that when ordering. Other items and rolls can be ordered on your phone through a or code directed to a website and it includes items like the Spicy Garlic Edamame, Hand Rolls, and Tempuras. My favorites were the Sake Salmon, Hon Maguro Bluefin Tuna, and Unagi Freshwater Eel. We paired our meal with a bottle of Cass and Miso Soup to wash down. The salmon was not fishy at all and was buttery where it melts in your mouth. The rice to fish ratio was perfection where I didn't feel like we got ripped off at all. Parking was located in a structure and then you walk down to this place. Not a bad wait and also very quick service, even when they said they were understaffed. read more

X-Fish Izakaya - AYCE Signature ($39.99) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brea, California

Came here for my birthday dinner and had a great experience! I didn't realize it was all-you-can-eat, so definitely bring your appetite. They have a great selection of sushi, specialty rolls, and ramen. Just be careful not to overorder since there's a fee for food waste, which I actually think is a great idea. Fresh food, lots of choices, and a fun dining experience! read more

I've heard many good things about this place and I understand why! We were luckily enough to come on a day that wasn't too crowded and got seared immediately. The chairs imo, were too high for the table, I felt like I was hovering over the food, idk if that makes sense but something I noticed immediately after sitting. The menu system is a bit confusing. There's a paper menu and one you place online via QR code. For the paper menu, we were limited to 20 pieces of nigiri at a time. This wasn't a huge deal since it was only 2 of us, but I can see how that can become frustrating with larger groups especially since there's only 3 rounds, unless the limit increases with group size. The online ordering system only allowed you to order 2 appetizers at a time. I love me some baked mussels and unfortunately 1 order = 1 baked mussels which means we were only able to order 2 mussels at a time and then have to wait until our 5 minute wait period is over before placing another order. This is the first sushi restaurant that I been to that had this small of a limit... They also limited you on the carpaccio order but that was expected. Aside from the menu and ordering frustration, I think their food and service is great. Their fish tasted very high quality and the fish to rice ratio was spot on! They had many different options of nigiri to try, so we definitely got to try a little of everything. There was only 1 item we didn't like and our server was kind enough to remove it from our bill. Overall it was a good place for high quality sushi. I just wish I wasn't so limited when placing orders since it is ayce and they already emphasis the leftover charge. read more

X-Fish Izakaya - 1 order of baked mussel - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brea, California

came first thing when they opened on a Saturday, it def was already pretty busy and they seemed short staffed. During our meal there was someone who i assumed was newer to the restaurant and the person training or teaching them was really loud and kind of rude pointing and touching all the tables trying to teach the new person the layout. I understand training but I don't think it was a good idea to do it in front of full tables of guests. or maybe have a map of the tables near the kitchen for them to review but training very very loudly and disturbing others guests just did not sit well. Besides that the food was great as always. I wish they did offer a less rice option but the portion isn't as much as other places. It's a very very busy location so i would recommend getting there a decent amount of time earlier than you'd want to eat. read more

My girls took me here for an early birthday celebration. We kept checking Yelp waitlist in the app cause it was a Friday night but the app kept saying no wait. When we got there, there was a waitlist and it was like 30 minutes. Kinda bummed they didn't just keep the app waitlist on. In any case, it didn't seem like it took 30 minutes which was great. We got seated and all seemed well or so we thought. The wait for food or any kind of service was horrendous. Like constantly having to ask for refills and then ask again cause the first server forgot. I legit saw some other table just get up and get their own pitcher of water to serve themselves cause they waited so long. The food also took forever to come out. When it did, it was good but definitely not worth the wait. It wasn't anything special. They also got one of my rolls wrong which took forever to come out in the first place and then forever to fix. There's also limits in the app for the hot foods, apps and rolls. I get limits but like limiting one tempura item per table or one single mussel per person seemed so extra. Oh and the yakitori comes by tre pas but like it rarely comes out and sometimes they skip your table so we legit only got two skewers our whole time there. The tempura all had a floury aftertaste so it wasn't light and authentic like it's supposed to be. The place is very modern so don't expect comfy seats, they were all wooden with no cushions. It did look clean in there though. All in all, I wouldn't come again cause of the service. Food was fine but if I'm gonna pay for ayce and then wait forever for food, it's really not worth it. Iykyk. There was no dessert and lots of extra charges for things off menu, more so than most ayce places. Quality seemed like it should have been better for the price point and what they're trying to be. read more

Service was good and quick ~ never had to wait long to place new ayce rounds, arrived around 3pm on a Saturday for a party of 4 and no wait. Interior is really clean and nice decor. We did the $42 ayce standard and it was very good. Probably my favorite ayce sushi places. They have a huge menu of nigiri, carpaccio, appetizers, ramen, rolls with a handful of rice less rolls (we liked the Sakura roll). Sushi quality was great! Some items are limited to 2 pc per person like the carpaccio and those were some of our favorites. Unagi (eel) is limited in sushi form but you can get unlimited eel hand rolls. read more

Still my fav all you can eat sushi spot. Lunch deal is such a great deal. If you like salmon. Don't sleep on this spot. I hate when all the fish taste the same. But here the salmon is always nice and buttery. Great texture Salmon bomb I get regular salmon and peppered that has a slight sear Udon soup is really good here. Get the Nagasaki spicy udon. Flavor is so good. Little char flavor that I love. This is a must get Fried tempura shrimp is done well Always good food. Always great service. Plenty of parking read more

Sushi sushi sushi. Loved everything about this place - the service, the food, and the ambiance. Fish is fresh and price is very reasonable.

X-Fish has been on my list for quite awhile and finally it got to try it. We did the lunch signature $41.99 pp My friends have been raving at how affordable and delish the fish here is esp the toro but I had one order of it and I did not want another order off the menu at all. Only good tasting item was the Alaskan roll. Calamari Karaage is also a good appetizer. Items we tried during our visit: *Baked Mussel - came out on the cold side. Baked mussels is usually warm. *Alaskan Roll *Orion Draft *Grilled Chicken Teriyaki (Half Size) tastes like they used old oil or it's been in the deep freezer for awhile. *Albacore Carpaccio (2 pcs) *Yellowtail Carpaccio (2 pcs) *Baked Scallop Roll *Rainbow Roll - 1 - tasted normal. Walking into the establishment to put my name down it had a fishy smell. But I tried my best to just keep a positive outlook since I've had friends who rave about the place. But after the meal, I felt like I should've listened to my gut when I smelled how fishy it smelled. Restroom needed attention! Female toliet has no toilet seats and just needed to be cleaned up. I personally would not recommend this spot nor would I come back. I just felt very disappointed and like I wasted my money since it was not the best tasting. Tips: *Credit card accepted *Indoor seating only *Serves alcohol *Free street/parking structure nearby *They have another location in Buena Park. read more

Sushi is delicious! Our favorite is smoked salmon, the giant scallops, yuzu yellowtail and Cajun tuna. We enjoyed everything but the tri peppered sushi, they were mildly flavored and underwhelming. The first two rounds of our order arrived quickly but the third time we had to get the servers attention to pick up the order sheet (I noticed another table had to do the same) staff passed by our table multiple times and didn't pick it up. This time the sushi took a long time to arrive, it pushed us to the 90 minute time limit. I appreciated one staff member coming by and giving grilled chicken skewer sample (very good!) The restaurant is round shaped and the acoustics inside is awful. It's very noisy and it's difficult to hear the staff. The chairs scrape on the floor. Also the table tops have water damage from the ice water glass condensations, coasters would help. The restrooms were ghetto. One of the women's sink was out of order, one of the stalls was out of toilet paper but the big roll was precariously hanging from the stall door hook and it fell and rolled on the floor. For the price I expected a better experience. read more

Tried this for dinner on a Thursday around 6 pm with a party of 2. We were seated right away, but heads up, they won't seat you until everyone in your party arrives. It's located in a big shopping center with Ralph's and Home Goods. I'd recommend parking in the open lots since it's much easier to find a spot than using the structure next to X-Fish. We went with the Omakase and spent about $60 each including tip. Food was good with a nice variety, including tonkotsu, sushi (of course), and a chicken BBQ skewer. The seafood quality was solid, although u had just gotten back from Japan, so it's hard not to compare. We wanted to try some of their wines, but they only sold it by the bottle, which was more than we wanted. Taking off 1 star because it was very loud inside. I think it's the way the space is built - everyone's voices seem to echo. Overall, good food and decent value, just not the best place if you're looking to have conversation over dinner. read more

It's almost $45 a person and it's supposedly renowned but call me picky it's just not worth the hype or cost. Wait times can be extensive due to the popularity. You're limited to 3 rounds (20 pieces each) of nigiri. You're also limited to 2 rolls and 2 appetizers or something absurd for the online menu and have to wait in between to order more. Quality of fish is ok compared to other places I've had, but for the cost it's nothing spectacular. Overall, it's better AYCE than other places I've been, but it's on the higher cost end for AYCE. The overall ambiance is nice and fancier. It's really clean inside and feels premium. read more

Wow. The sushi was so delicious and fresh! We got AYCE and it was so worth it. I got to try fish I've never tried before because I was able to get one piece of it. SO worth it for that alone. The service was also great. They were so attentive and it was easy to chat! read more

X-Fish Izakaya - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brea, California

X-Fish is just okay now. This is our go-to spot whenever we want to eat AYCE sushi, we either go to this location or the Buena Park location. Both are the same as far as price, service, and quality. I do find that after ordering the 1st round of sushi, the 2nd round and so on usually take a while to come by. Not sure if that's intentional or if it just happens to be busy as the day progresses. To get your moneys worth definitely stick to ordering to their paper menu (sushi bar) Nigiri is only 10 per person for each round though and everything else on that menu is limited per round. Rolls are okay here too, it's a hit or miss. One time we ordered the BP roll and spit it out because it tasted rancid and when we complained they said it could just have had a higher level of mercury because they prepare the batches in bulk every morning. The ramen/udon are also just okay. Like I said, I do frequent both locations often because they have really good seared salmon! (Tri-peppered salmon) read more

This is probably one of the nicest AYCE sushi places I've ever been to. I'm used to some grimey AYCE sushi places that smell like bathroom and literally just want you to eat as fast as possible and get out to get the seat open for the next person. Couldn't be further from one of those places. I went for lunch and the servers were helpful and attentive. The quality of the fish was pretty decent. Small portions, but who cares cause it's AYCE. I would 100% stuff my face here again. read more

I enjoyed this location as well. Quality is consistent and delicious. My top choices are the seared salmon choice and yuzu yellowtail nigiri. Each person gets 2 bluefin tuna nigiri maximum! I enjoy their fried calamari and baked mussels. Skipped on the rolls because they'll fill you up quickly. read more

My family and I happened to try this Brea location of X-Fish Izakaya by chance and it has been one of our favorite finds of the summer. The service is always friendly and attentive. The restaurant is laid out nicely and always clean when we visit. The sushi is also tasty and fresh. X-Fish Izakaya is probably one of our favorite AYCE sushi spots in the area. Located in Downtown Brea, X-Fish Izakaya is situated in an area with several shops and restaurants. There aren't any parking spots directly in front of the restaurant, however, the Downtown Brea area has free parking garages, one of which is very close to the establishment. Their menu offers several options, mainly sushi, but also a good amount of kitchen items and ramen selections. Some of my favorite items include the: - Bluefin Tuna - Tri Peppered Salmon - Truffle Salmon Roll - Salmon Lover Roll Flavor is perfect for all of these items and the freshness and quality, especially for it being AYCE, is on point. If you're thinking about giving this Brea location of X-Fish Izakaya a try, definitely do it. We've been to one other location, and this one blows them out of the water on all accounts of food and service. read more

TLDR; Fresh fish, friendly service, and lots of options. Walk-in or reserve on Yelp. Order the pepper salmon and the yuzu yellowtail. Recommend trying all the limited options (carpaccio, jumbo scallop, roe, bluefin, smoked salmon)! SERVICE Great service, delicious fresh fish, and a spacious clean dining area. Shout out to the wonderful hosts! The food did take a little bit longer to come out, but there is no limit to the amount of rounds you can have. You can order up to 50 pieces per round on their paper menu and then order rolls and apps with their QR code. PARKING Free plaza parking or street parking! Located in a beautiful plaza with lots of eateries including boba, Thai food, coffee shop, desserts, and more. RESERVATIONS Join the waitlist on Yelp or walk-in. COST Around $40 pp and well worth. There's also a more expensive premium option. FOOD The rice to fish ratio was PERF, a slight bite of rice with tender fish. The pepper salmon was my favorite. Sadly you can only get some premium items once so make sure you get those! I also really liked spicy scallop and yellowtail. The eel also surprisingly wasn't boney and delicious. Their rolls were also really good but super filling. Def recommend trying their baked scallop or crawfish rolls. APPS Their miso soup and garlic edamame were perfect to refresh your palettes. Also really liked the mussels! I'd pass on the sweet tamago, it didn't really taste like a typical sweet egg. OVERALL A great place to get your sushi fix! Clean, spacious, and quick to get seated during off hours. Friendly servers and lots of sushi options include sashimi, apps, ramen, skewers, and rolls. Would have liked some kind of dessert like fruit or icecream at the end but that's just me being phat :-) . read more

This ayce sushi spot has been on my radar for a minute so I'm so glad I finally gave it a try! The quality of the fish is pretty good! I went on a weekday, so the waitlist wasn't too long. There's not much room to sit and wait for your table to be ready, but you can walk around the nearby shops. There's a QR code menu that you can order from and your server gives you a paper to write down how many pieces of sushi you want. Even though you can order a lot, you're not compromising on quality for quantity. I recommend the hamachi, tri pepper tuna, and unagi. Service was good. The wait for rolls didn't take too long. I would definitely be back with friends! read more

The food is pretty good but it's not that affordable, especially for the lack of seaweed salad and they limit your eel (2 per person for the whole meal). Sake2me gives unlimited eel and seaweed salad. They limit each round to 10 pieces per person. The service is also pretty slow during dinner since you're using paper to put in your nigiri orders. We only got to 4 rounds during the 90 minutes. I know a spot that allows you to order as many pieces per round as you want. I would say the lunch special is worth it! read more

I came here and had AYCE for an early dinner date. I didn't have to wait for seating. The taste of everything was good. My favorites were some of the sushi rolls. I also had the edamame, cheese balls, and ramen. The staff were helpful. I was stuffed and there were still plenty of more options to try. Previously, I came to this same location a few years ago for someone's birthday dinner and it was probably one of the worst service I've ever had, so I was hesitant to come back. I'm glad to say I had a positive experience this 2nd time, and I would be open to returning again. read more

Obviously you don't know how important it is or else you would inform guests before hand which you didn't. Also, what is so efficient about having to place half of my order with a server and then place the other half on your app? The fact that you don't disclose your policy anywhere is shady and deceptive which is probably why you make your customers order the restricted items from you app. read more

We went as a group of five, toddler included. She's 2.5 so she came free under their kids policy (anyone under 39" eats free, nice touch for a family outing). The four of us hit the specialty items first, bluefin tuna, jumbo Hokkaido scallop, smoked salmon, salmon roe, plus the full carpaccio lineup (albacore, tuna, salmon, yellowtail), before settling into the regular rounds: salmon, tuna, albacore, yellowtail, butter peppered shrimp, tri peppered salmon and tuna, tuna tartare, and the katsu x fish salmon. Rounded out with eel, octopus, mackerel and scallop. Great spot for a family AYCE lunch, easy to bring a little one along and not pay extra for her to just sit there and steal edamame. read more
