    Surprise dessert
    Jason P.

    I finally tried this place after my daughter said it was worth a try since she's been there twice. We went today after work and no one was there except the Chef and his daughter helping out as a server / cashier. Food: * ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box with the crunch roll . There was a lot of food to my surprise and tasted good. * ordered Takoyaki- Good * ordered Soft Shell Crab- Good * ordered Lobster Roll- Good Chef prepared a surprise dessert for us! Thank you!! All of the food items we ordered tasted good and will be coming back to try others on the menu. No complains. Service: server and chef are very nice and attentive. Ambiance: it's fine. Not too big not too small. I hope the foot traffic increases and people give this business a chance. There is a lot of competition in this plaza.

    Baked lobster and dragon roll
    Linda V.

    Friend of mine told me to find a place for dinner to meet up at that was halfway between him and I, so I got on Yelp and found this place based on the reviews. Traffic on a Thursday evening was horrific but I made it. Parking was effortless as I was lucky and able to find a spot out front no problem in the small strip mall it's located in that Apple iPhone took me straight to Got there late so upon walking in so these are my immediate take aways from the experience. Place is small. Walking in we were the only table that night in the restaurant from 6-8pm there, which was kind of odd. Guess it was a slow day. There is one guy behind the counter making all the sushi (not Japanese) and our server (not Japanese.) They're both Koreans which I thought is kind of funny because I bet most people dining won't even know. After getting the menu the server immediately asks what I'd like to order. Well, obviously 1. I haven't looked at it yet and 2. I told him it was my first time there so I need some time to read the menu, but skimming the menu I asked if they have loose leaf green tea or if it's in a tea bag. He said it's in a bag (meh) but I felt rushed so I said I'd just have that. My friend told me they don't sell alcohol but I wasn't planning to drink anyway, and had already ordered and invited me to try the gyoza before it got cold, so I unopened my chopsticks to try that before the server came back with my tea in a large, clear beer stein and asked me again if I was ready to order, so I just skimmed the menu and ordered because I'm not really into looking over a menu when someone is standing right tf there waiting for me to order. His English wasn't fluent enough for me to be able to communicate to come back so I made my decisions on the spot to get it done. Someone mentioned the low prices. True they are $8 a roll where other places are double that price but when I got my rolls (baked lobster and my usual dragon because I like unagi) they were half the size of a normal roll (see picture). Baked lobster had a lot of sauce on it and not enough lobster in what felt like that overpowered the taste of what lobster was on there. Dragon roll was decent - just basically it seemed like a California roll without cucumber topped with unagi and eel sauce. Presentation was good though so I'll give them that - almost didn't even notice the chip on my plate because my eyes were distracted by the cute umbrella, lol. So really, they're just normal price but it's half what you'd get so you gotta order 2 rolls to get 1 serving anyway. Not a bad thing because you get variety, but let's just call it as it is there is no deal or value as another reviewer mentioned. Aside from that food was good, attentive and friendly. If you're some kind of sushi snob then I wouldnt say it's "authentic" but for what it is, if you prefer rolls this place does the job. I can't remark on bento boxes or the other items on the menu, but if I was in the area I'd probably come back.

    Salmon skin salad
    Pearls P.

    Delighted by this quaint sushi spot, I was looking for a light bite to eat and my salmon skin salad was perfect. The owners are very friendly and I got greeted with a smile plus some comps. Coming back to try their fish collar, eel, soft shell crab, fried banana dessert

    Allene A.

    Every roll made fresh and did not disappoint! Big mouthfuls LOL not the biggest place which I prefer and the service is good. They play music and give a complementary orange at the end, cut very cute and perfect to cleanse the pallet

    Chicken bento.
    Wil W.

    Had the chicken bento. Looks like the usual items. I wasn't too thrilled. I asked if I could sub out the gyoza with two or three vegetable tempura. I was willing to pay a bit more if they did but was flat out denied. I'm just a bit conflicted with some of the reviews left from others. They got great service. Mine was not so much. Bottom line, here's my review. Chicken was cold on some parts. Dressing on salad was a turn off. One of the sushi chef sneezed right on the sushi prep board. Not once but twice without covering his mouth. I was not happy and quite frankly disgusted. I paid and walked out.

    Crispy Tuna Rice | IG @moniquedao
    Monique D.

    I noticed this place was fairly new, so I decided to give it a try--and I'm so glad we did. The restaurant itself is small, but feels cozy. Everything we ordered was delicious. The Poke Salad was fresh and generous with the fish, which we really appreciated. I asked for my Crispy Tuna Rice to be extra crispy, and they happily accommodated-- it came out perfectly crunchy and flavorful. I also loved that the plate was filled with all that crunch, my favorite, which was an added bonus. My Albacore Delight with crispy onions was also yummy. I also really like that most of their rolls come in 4 pieces. It's the perfect portion for me--no need to commit to a full 8+ piece roll, especially if you're trying multiple items. Plus, it keeps things affordable since each 4-piece roll is only $7. Mine even came with 5 pieces, which made me extra happy. As if the food wasn't enough, our server surprised us with 2 complimentary pieces of Salmon Chips loaded with my favorite crunchy toppings. And then--on top of that--he brought out a cute little orange fruit dessert for us. I honestly can't remember the last time a sushi place spoiled us like this. The icing on the cake was when the owner/chef came out to personally ask how everything was. We told him how much we loved the food, the accommodations, and the complimentary items. He was incredibly kind and genuinely appreciative, which made the whole experience feel extra special. I've already bookmarked this wonderful little spot as we'll definitely be coming back.

    48 Pieces Special Roll

    Everyone is super friendly! The sushi is so fresh and so good. They made it extra special for Mother's Day. I highly recommend this place

    Fried tempura bananas
    Cynthia M.

    A new place in Brea! A few things to consider: Their sashimi was pretty good size cuts, value for the price solid. Their sushi rolls, the presentation was great! They are half sized rolls (4 pieces) so it's a really great price. But, I found the rolls we ordered were a bit drowned in too much sauce and the rice was a bit mushy. It could be an off night. Definitely go there if you want decent sushi for great prices. Their service was really attentive. Because it's a new place, the chef sent out some complimentary items such as fried tempura bananas.

    Pepper salmon sushi
    Younkyung K.

    This is my second visit today . My first time, I ordered the spicy tuna roll and pepper salmon sushi, and today I ordered the pepper salmon sushi for my daughter. The seasoning isn't anything extraordinary, but the salmon slices have decent thickness and a nice torch-grilled flavor. The variety of fish isn't extensive, but if you can find what you're looking for. It's a good deal and is worth coming regularly.

    Roly Poly roll
    Diana M.

    Let me start with the fact that we were so disappointed when we saw that sushi box had closed as it was our favorite sushi spot in the area. I drove by one day and noticed the sign of a new spot and I was curious. My bf and I were wondering if it was just a name change or fully different. I will say that it is NOT just a name change as the management is different and the menus are different. That being said, their food is very similar and it reminds us of sushi box. The place looks like almost nothing has changed and it has that familiar cozy feeling to it. Their rolls now are sold as half rolls so you get to try more and they offer less things than before. Their dish presentation is still very nice and their food is very fresh and tasty! They are now opened during the middle of the day and on Sundays. My only call out is that their liquor license is still not in effect so no alcohol. The staff is very friendly and welcoming! We love their riceless rolls and have a couple more to try. I love soft shell crab and was excited that they offer it and it also comes inside the spider roll! Their baked rolls are sold tasty with their delicious sauces, but the rice can come a bit apart on those. We love their spicy tuna as it is fresh and spicy but not too spicy. We have been here twice since we realized that they "reopened" and can't wait to be back and continue trying their menu.

    Plain salmon roll, baked scallop roll, super spicy tuna roll and on top, we got chef's pick and complimentary cucumber salad!
    Vi N.

    Amazing chefs who really prioritize your eating experience!! We got complimentary dishes which were so nice! My party was a group of young adults and it was giving, eat more my child. It felt like I was eating at a relative's house especially when they brought the complimentary oranges for dessert. The sushi quality is amazing. The rice isn't cold. Salmon cuts were thick and the scallops were nicely sauced! Service was extremely generous and the vibes were great! Would go here again!

    Ramen, cream corn, edamame, chicken teriyaki, tempura, cucumber salad.
    Owen S.

    Great food and the presentation 10-10 The staff is hospitable and friendly. We got edamame and cream corn for appetizers, cucumber salad and tempura. I got mild spicy ramen (great for cold weather), my gf got chicken teriyaki ( the red plate) it was great.

    Popcorn lobster and Jessica rolls
    Yolanda L.

    Food was exactly what you want and the price was the best I have been able to find in the area. Usually rolls are $15 each and this order of 2 rolls was only $17! seen that they have a really good lunch special that includes a ramen of your choice and 4 piece roll, going to be back for that 100%. The guy who helped me at checkout was sweet and patient , it was my first time so definitely appreciated it.

Once I tried their sushi for the first time, they quickly became one of my favorites in OC. They fly their fish in every Friday and you can literally taste the freshness. Over the times I've visited, I've tried basically the whole menu but a couple in particular are my favorites. I always start off with the Blue crab appetizer that's wrapped with salmon on the outside and asparagus. Their sushi rolls are all solid here--I can't recommend the signature Chubby roll enough. And if you're feeling adventurous, they even have Tuna bone marrow shots which are actually such a nice palate cleanser! And, of course, the star of the show is the Chubby sashimi platter. Each piece is thiccc and melts in your mouth and even comes with sweet shrimp and uni. This spot is genuinely a 10/10, so if you haven't tried it, like I said, you're definitely missing out! Thanks for reading! ^-^

They also barely give any ice in the drinks (like 8 tiny cubes), and I always have to ask for more. The sushi is very hit or miss, but we did find 3 rolls we really enjoy, so we usually just stick to ordering those. The biggest issue is the service. Every visit we end up having to wave someone down for refills, extra ice, or even the check. There's definitely potential here, but they really need to improve consistency and customer service

She welcomed us with a level of genuine hospitality that feels increasingly rare these days. Masako and Tom both went above and beyond to make sure our family was comfortable and well taken care of. The food was excellent, and the care they showed us made the whole evening even more special. It is rare to come across such generous and kindhearted people. A highlight of the night was dessert for my daughter, who has a dairy allergy and usually cannot enjoy desserts at most restaurants. Masako thoughtfully made her a dairy-free version of the Oreo tempura, which meant so much to us. She absolutely loved it. Also, the sashimi latina sauce was so delicious that we saved the extra sauce and kept dipping our rolls in it. What used to be one of our favorite restaurants has now become our new favorite all over again. Thank you, Masako and Tom, for such a wonderful evening and for making our family feel so cared for.

I also recommend heading there early to check in when you have your reservation cause the servers are truly just trying their best to accommodate those who have reservations and those who don't. :( Anyways on to the food. YUM! This is the best kura location I've been to. The salmon, tuna, mackerel, etc. all hit. I'm super super surprised. Was I just hungry? lol. But still, it was great and hit that sushi craving. It's a great place to grab lunch with family or your partner. I don't know if it's the best place to chat since it can get loud but nothing too crazy. Shoutout to Anaheim, CJ, and Mikey who juggled handling upset customers, the lunch hour crowd, and me and my husband's requests. They handled everything professionally and with a smile. Overall this is my fave kura location. Looking forward to eating here again!

Salmon parmesan - Nikkei sushi - seared salmon, parmesan bitter, eel sauce , arare, lime. Amazing. O toro sushi - the fattiest cut of tuna. Eat as is. Again chef prepared. No added seasoning required. Parri maki - fried shrimp, cream cheese, seared tuna topped with chimichurri, aji amarillo, chalaquita, ponzu. Food experience was enhanced by their impeccable taste in music. Super chill, soft beats stream the restaurant. With its perfect lighting too sets all the good moods for us. Don't wait for this fine dining experience of Japanese and Peruvian fusion. Note: when they ask if you want soy sauce, say No, thank you. It would be a shame to kill the taste of a beautiful dish with any added sauce. Kampai! Salud!
