Starts with a small espresso sized cup of abalone porridge.
Outstanding uni bowls, chirashi (chopped raw fish salad), live flounder sashimi specials.
Japanese course has many of the above components and is a great way to have something for everyone.

“I just randomly stopped in for an Asahi beer.Then I decided to try the RISING SUN ROLL. OMG.super delicious and mouth watering. I'm coming back with my friends“

“The best sushi experience!“

“It was my first time dining at this restaurant, though they have been open for over a year! My friend and I had a wonderful time, but we were unaware of the fact that they closed at three so we had to hurry at the end! Next time I'll come in a little earlier! I like the fact that they're open during the daytime hours as that's when I prefer to dine! Every single course on the experience was delicious one after the other, we left completely seated and their homemade Yuzu ice cream that they make fresh Daly was a perfect dessert! We will be back! Service was excellent also and a really beautiful restaurant! Thank you, Ryan“

“Came to Sushi Story and we were seriously amazed! The fish was incredibly fresh, and every piece of nigiri, roll, and sashimi was HUGE! They also have wide selection of sake and Japanese beer. Everything was so satisfying, and they even have claw machines, which made the whole experience even more fun!

Overall, such a great spot, we had so much fun and absolutely loved it. Definitely coming back!

What we ordered:
-The Story Set: 8pcs sushi + 6 sashimi + 4pcs roll (amazing salmon)
-Sushi & Roll Fusion: 8pcs sushi + 4pcs roll (spicy tuna rainbow)
-Salad & Miso Soup
-Asahi“

“This may be one of the best sushi deals in Southern California. I know that once the word is out that it’ll be harder to get in, but they deserve the recognition.“

“Love this place,my family and friends have been going there for years,was so bummed when it burned down but just as good after it came back,always my first choice when I get the chance to be in town, and always great�“

“Great food and service. Been going there over 7 years. Get there early. Leía and Lily are awesome. Luis is the sushi master!“

“This is the exact same udon and futomaki I used to enjoy 35 years ago when they were inside the Kaju Korean Market. They still use the same recipe—and even the exact same bowls! I had missed their food for so long that I literally cried when I found this place. One bite brought me right back to the early '90s. I’m so grateful they’re still making it, and this is now a must-visit every single time I’m in Garden Grove.“

“The food was the best Japanese food that I’ve eaten. The Salmon Collar was so delicious as well as the California roll. I’ve also eaten the Bento Box for lunch and dinner which is a really good value and also delicious! My husband and I highly recommend Niya Sushi!“

“This place is owned by a former omakase chef and brings together quality sushi with a low key local izakaya vibe. They don’t churn out sushi like the chain spots or AYCE places around the area. Everything is made with care and attention to quality. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for real sushi without paying extra.“

“Awesome Sushi rolls and the best sashimi!! Always happy to see you and always smiling!“

“Sushi Mura has the best ramen in Buena Park. This was my first time here. I've been to most ramen places in Buena Park, and didn't realize Sushi Mura is a hidden gem Sushi and ramen place near me.

The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. The menu had more options than I'll ever be able try. I had the special sake and appetiser deal for $30 and was not disappointed.

Sushi Mura has the best Spicy Tonkatsu in Buena Park, hands down. I'm a little picky and asked for not sprouts or mushrooms, and was not disappointed.“

“Everything was excellent! Service was top notch as well.“

“Food was great. The wait staff was very poorly trained. Was not sure what roll was what had to remind them to bring items.“

“This was our first time coming to this Korean sushi restaurant. It was a great experience although this is not somewhere I'd bring a large group based on the limited seating. The service was great and the sushi tasted fresh. I recommend the Cerritos and crispy sushi for sure. I would recommend this place for sure.“

“Great food and great service ! The new owner has made a lot of upgrades , modern tv menus, a fresh new look, and exciting new menu items . You can really tell there’s been a lot of investment put into this place . It’s no longer California roll and teryaki , Highly recommend if craving some sushi and teriyaki!“

“Great place for sushi! Servers are friendly and attentive. Food is great for a quick bite or small gathering. We have had birthday lunches here with 6+ people and they accomodates very well even though the the restaurant is on the smaller side.“

“Best sushi restaurant! Best specialty rolls, sushi, cucumber salad, EVERYTHING! The atmosphere is fun and festive! And Owner, Managers, wait staff and sushi chefs are friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable ! Don’t like going anywhere else for my sushi!“

“good sushi and locally owned“

“Yummy sushi! It is pricey though. You get what you pay for!“

“Sushi Koto is always a treat for me. I love to come here for what I feel is the next best thing to eating in Japan. There is always a wait for Sunday brunch, but they do take reservations. Excellent service and friendly staff. This is definitely not your ordinary neighborhood Japanese restaurant. Highly recommend it!“

“I have been going here for years. Stopped in for some bowls today. The combo bowl and chicken bowl were tasty. Also ordered some California Roll and it was okay. Out of the 5 pieces two were missing Avocado. The teriyaki sauce was also an odd consistency this time so we passed on eating that. Service was quick and friendly when ordering.“

“An absolute hidden gem! We drove all the way from Santa Monica for a fun night out and were blown away by how exceptional the sushi was. Every bite felt like a surprise — the fish is incredibly fresh, the hand rolls are a must-try, and the sushi rice is easily the best we’ve ever had. For the quality you get, the prices are unbeatable. This spot is top-notch in every way, and we’ll definitely be coming back again and again.“

“Sushi Fuego is an absolute gem! The sushi here is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and packed with taste. They have a fantastic variety of specialty rolls and an amazing all-you-can-eat option that gives you insane value for the price. The staff is warm, attentive, and super friendly, which makes the whole dining experience awesome. Easily one of my favorite go-to spot—10/10 recommend!“

“Genuinely good quality fish, sourced from Japan and other regions based on the seasons. Their pricing is incredibly generous, especially during these tough times.
The two owners provide incredible hospitality and family vibes. Many regulars come just for a casual dine and enjoy libations.
Their specials changes based on the quality and seasons of the fish, so don't be afraid to ask the chefs like Juro and Yuichi.
Their miruga, shima aji,i and black code sushi was in season, which was chefs kiss!

On lunch time and happy hour, amazing bang for your buck meals as well.“

“A very nice place, a bit small but it has a charm about it. I had a baked Alaska roll, it did not disappoint. It took a little long to come out, but I assume it's because they had to cook the salmon for the roll. Al and all it was definitely good, I would go back for sure.“

“I recently visited Haru Sushi, a to-go sushi spot that offers an exceptional experience in both taste and value for money. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.The most compelling aspect of Haru Sushi is its remarkable value for the quality of taste. The sushi, made with fresh ingredients and the craftsmanship of seasoned sushi chefs, melts delightfully in your mouth, providing a joyful experience with every bite. The ability to enjoy various kinds of sushi at a reasonable price was particularly satisfying for me, someone who prioritizes good value.However, my nearly perfect experience at Haru Sushi came with a slight inconvenience. The establishment only accepts cash and not credit cards. In today's society, where digital payments have become the norm, the need to prepare cash in advance could be seen as a minor nuisance. Nevertheless, this small inconvenience is easily outweighed by the exceptional taste and value offered by Haru Sushi.In conclusion, Haru Sushi stands out as a to-go sushi spot for its excellent taste and value for money. While the inability to use credit cards is a downside, the quality and price certainly make up for it. I am fully inclined to revisit Haru Sushi whenever the opportunity arises. I highly recommend Haru Sushi to anyone looking to enjoy delicious sushi at a reasonable price.“

“Ive been eating here since it opened. The sushi is always fresh tasting. Great portions for the price. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Fast service I will definitely recommend Sushi n go!“

“Some of the best sushi in LB. Took pictures of everything mentioned in asterisks below:) Got takeout via Doordash but they have their own site/app with a delivery option ill have to try out.

*Tuna Sushi Special* and the *Miso Soup* are my classic go to's and they are always flavorful and fresh. Spicy Tuna is mixed with Sriracha, sesame oil, and sugar instead of spicy mayo and I LOVE that. *Garlic Tuna Tataki Special* is AMAZING, so delicious, expensive but worth it. *Dumplings with Spicy Garlic Sauce* is BOMB AF, so fresh and full of flavor, love it. Extra Ginger is free so I always get it. *Extra Spicy Ponzu* is the best homemade sauce they have and is so worth the $0.25.“

“So straight up the service is sloppy. They are super kind and get you what you ask for but there's just no... refined skills is the only way I can think of putting it. It's a well-oiled machine as far as getting the food out getting the people their drinks and cycling through.. sit down and DO NOT expect a luxurious experience but definitely a Tasty one!:)
The rolls and food are beautifully prepared and executed. Except the calamari.
It's a small venue, crowded, busy and a good value.“
