32 Best Japanese Restaurants in Huntington Beach

“I was conflicted about whether to give Rol 4 or 5 stars. I’m a sushi and hand roll aficionado. I’d eat it daily and I’ve been to most of the places in SoCal. The fish quality here is very good. I got the lunch special and at $16 for 4 rolls that’s a very good price. But the rolls are very small. Usually I can have enough at 5 rolls to be full. Here I had 6 and I could have still eaten more.

Other than that, I have no complaints. It’s a clean restaurant located right off beach blvd in main part of city. The servers were attentive and nice. I’m just a big eater and I would have to order 7-8 rolls to feel satisfied.“

“Just discovered Aburi, had a great experience all around.. their staff, food, and atmosphere were all top notch. Adding this to our go-to lunch spots. Oh, and great value (prices/specials) too! Give it a shot if you’re looking for a new sushi spot in HB.“

“Great little family-owned place in HB! Sushi is tasty and fresh and their bowls are bomb. From chicken teriyaki bowls (with optional spicy sauce), to curry bowls, to fried chicken to their beef bowls, they are all delicious! They also have a shaved beef bowl that's like Yoshinoya on Steroids!“

“Our second time( we’re from Long Beach) and we love coming back here because of the foods:etc.“

“great food and great service 👍“

“Great service and good vibes.“

“H.B. Roll for me. Beef udon(noodles on the side) for my wife. This is our usual go-to. But I got really sick last week 😭“

“I come here often for lunch because I work near here. This place has many varieties and they are all so good. Looks healthy and plentiful to get you full. I love the service. People here are super sweet and makes the best out of everything.“

“The food was delicious, although our chef wasn't that entertaining. He did forget to season some of the food. He did mention he was supposed to be off, so it was like he wasn't even trying in the end. The whole reason my family and I chose to eat there that night was to be entertained. We could have just gone to a steak house and eat if that was the case. I was just bummed out because the other chefs in the place were putting more effort than he did...“

“My daughter and I have been on a teriyaki spree during our trip, so we decided to give this place a try. The online menu doesn't show everything they offer. Besides the usual chicken and beef teriyaki bowls and plates, they also have wraps, salads, and quesadillas. You can also get brunch/breakfast items like waffles, crepes, pancakes, and smoothies. A very wide range of options. The shrimp options are crossed off the menu in the store.

The lady behind the counter was super nice and patient as I couldn't decide what I wanted. My daughter got a chicken wrap, and I got a half-and-half beef and chicken teriyaki bowl. The meat was well-cooked (the beef was not chewy but very tender), but the teriyaki sauce is served on the side or on top of the meat, not seared and marinated in it. It was good but not as good as some other teriyaki places we visited, and the price was the same.

The store was very clean, and everything was made to order. There is a small seating area outside. We would eat here again if we didn't have other options.

Parking: Plenty of free plaza parking“

“Great food, place and service! 👍👍👍“

“Did take out tonight Fantastic fresh sushi, salad, catsu, Wasabi Just straight up good, nothing fancy. Just impressive quality. We we will be back 👍😊“

“We often visit this place with family because of its fresh ingredients and friendly service. The quality is outstanding for the price, and we’ve always had a satisfying experience. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are welcoming, making it easy to enjoy a relaxed meal.“

“If you ever get the opportunity to attend the Omakase dinner. You'll be amazed!“

“Great service, delicious sushi. Friendly people . Great location. Would recommended and we will be back again.“

“Love the Salmon bowl with brown rice. Fast healthy and reasonable prices.“

“Best diner experience!! Celebrated by BF’s 50th bday.“

“The food choices were amazing, everything was fresh and delicious. The service was also A+, everyone was so helpful.“

“I just had an amazing experience here. I'm relatively new to sushi, just checking out the local restaurants near my apartment.

I showed up at around 5:30pm after opening and ordered a few different things at the bar. I was the only person there and got to talking with the sushi chef, who was incredibly friendly, honest, and welcoming. They taught me how to do everything without it being uncomfortable at all, even down to the beer recommendation. The food was of course delicious, tasted quite fresh, and was prepared beautifully.

I learned that the place has dedicated regularly customers, which it remains faithful to - apparently the restaurant has been here since 1984 (or was it '82?).

Easy recommend.“

“Some of the best sushi I’ve had outside of Japan. The lunch omakase goes toe-to-toe with some very pricey sushi meals I’ve had at a fraction of the price. Total bill including a 720ml bottle of Juemon sake was less than a single person’s omakase elsewhere.“

“fresh, delicious and best service! will definately be back!“

“Good food, friendly service, and cozy outdoor dining“

“I’m a sashimi lover and this restaurant offers best fresh fish. Located in the gem of Huntington Beach, Ca next to Trader Joe. Plenty of parking. I always reserve a table before I come because the place is always pack. Also one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Orange County. Owners and Staffs are wonderful“

“If you’re craving teriyaki chicken and beef, this place is it. First bite, noticed how good the quality of meat is. The prices are so reasonable and good for how good the quality is and how filling it is. I got the beef and chicken plate and I usually eat a lot, but I was so full with a quarter of it still left. This was 1000% a solid teriyaki bowl and will come back for more.“

“Had the best experience last night amazing fresh fish and ice cold beer! It was my first time and I will be going back a lot more had a great time getting to chat with the owner and it really gives that family community vibe that we all hope for when we dine at a restaurant I give it a 5 star experience!“

“Fine dining and friendly service.“

“I came here after work to get something to eat I was so thankful it was open. The food was absolutely amazing!! The service was amazing!! Julia was so nice and welcoming I’ll definitely be coming back . Thank you Julia for being so sweet to me.“

“Super tasty, unpretentious, simple sushi. Came in for lunch, the waiter pointed out a special close to what I had wanted in case I didn't see the better deal. Had a beer in the coldest mug ever! Spicy tuna and a cali roll were served quick on the same plate. Veggie tempura was filling and good. Also had the rice and miso soup, all were good with no discrepancies. My only drawback is presentation, no wow or zaz in the serving. 10/10 would still come back for lunch or date. Fast and attentive service.“

“I found this sushi restaurant while I was walking down the streets of huntington beach, they serve a vast assortment of different types of sushi there, i ordered my food. They brought me some wasabi and ginger and my drink, then they brought me my sushi, and it was very delicious, i give sushi on fire a five star rating for meeting my standards and delivering a delicious midday meal for me, i would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good sushi while they're at huntington beach.“

“I was able to come here twice while on business. I did enjoy all the variety of toppings to the 3 or 5 protein bowl. The rice was great for the foundation.I tried the volcano 2 and spicy mayo combo and couldn't really taste the heat at all. Probably needed more flavoring. A but bland. But the bowl size and portion for 5 protein is good. 15.99. Adding an avocado baby scoop is probably worth it at 1.50 extra to give your bowl extra texture. Enjoyed the bowl. Spice up the sauces.“

“All You Can Eat (AYCE) sushi!“

“I’ve been a few times and they never miss. The food is made fresh to order. The few times I’ve been my party and I have had the restaurant to ourselves or one other. Servers are attentive and give great recommendations. The atmosphere is chill but again I’ve been during down times in between lunch and the dinner rush. I’ve tried other Hibachi style venues and none far compare to this particular location.“
