30 Best Japanese Restaurants in Huntington Beach

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

“Long the resident first time here and I'm glad I finally got to visit. Food is good. I had the curry udon and it hit the spot. Tasty and good. The udon perfectly prepared not mushy. Also had the albacore roll with onions and the fish and roll was good. Will come back here again to try the other dishes.“

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

“The best food in town! we love this place and Chloe!!!“

“Great food, place and service! 👍👍👍“

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

“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 😭“

“What a surprise! The scallop was out of this world! This was such a great surprise! I went in with zero expectations, and, to be honest, enjoyed every bite. I doubled up on the scallop roll because it was unexpectedly the best I have had.“

“My work office orders lunch from here about 3 times a week and we love this place. I always get the chicken/veggie bowl and it's always filling and delicious. Lots of others in the office get the burgers, ramen, and tacos. Everything has tasted great and we are happy to support the kind people that work there!“

“By far one of the best and most family friend hamachi restaurants I’ve been to. They made my little brothere birthday unforgettable and a true experience. From the great food , the laughter all the way down to the whole restaurant singing him happy birthday.“

“100/10 would recommend!’ Amazing food and selection as well!“

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

“Their food is fantastic, my favorites were the Chilean Sea Bass, Black Cod, and Grilled Salmon. The Black Cod especially stood out; it was prepared in the authentic Japanese style, and I've never found anything like it anywhere else in the Huntington Beach area. The flavors were rich and absolutely delicious.

The atmosphere made me feel like I’m in Japan, the decor and ambiance were immersive and peaceful, it added to the overall experience. I’m definitely going to bring my family here next time“

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

“Cute place, great sushi, very fresh.
This is our favorite local spot, they even have a decent happy hour menu if you can get there before 5:30p. And a good deal with 99 cent Saporo (first one, after that it's still only $2.99).
Our favorites are the sashimi roll - no rice with the best sauce, and the truffle salmon carpaccio - with another delicious truffle oil sauce. We love the baked lobster roll, their ramen and udon are both good, and in the end it's not too pricey.“

“What a wonderful restaurant! The food here is incredible! We especially love the California Rolls and Japanese soda. When they prepare tuna it's quite a show and so much fun! What's best is how kind they are to children. My son has become friends with the owners/ staff over the years, and always leaves with a huge smile on his face. 5 stars!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“Had an amazing experience at Avenue Shabu!

The Premium AYCE menu was packed with high-quality options, including tender Wagyu ribeye, fresh sushi rolls, and unique Korean ice cream soju cocktails. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented.

Beyond the food, I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. The space was clean, modern, and welcoming, making it a great spot for date nights, celebrations, or a fun dinner with friends. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout the meal, which made the experience even better.

If you’re looking for an elevated all-you-can-eat experience with premium meats, sushi, and creative drinks, Avenue Shabu is definitely worth a visit. Looking forward to coming back!“

“Been coming here for years since they first opened. Quality is always good every single time. Staff is always friendly. Parking right in front is easy. They add new stuff to the menu often, I stick to the same old stuff for the most part but did grab the spicy garlic shrimp today which I definitely recommend.

They offer stuff other spots don’t like black rice. Grilled chicken.“

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

“Wow. Seated promptly on a busy Thursday night, drinks and orders were taken and received in a timely manner, and waiter had great solutions to food preference. Restroom was clean, open windows provided a nice airy breeze even though the place was packed. Food portions were decent. I have nothing negative to say! I've tried multiple restaurant's salmon carpaccio dish, and this one was different in a tasty way. Yum!“

“This is some of the best sushi in HB, and maybe in all of OC. Some of their specials are pretty mind blowing (the price tag is too, but that's sushi/fresh fish!). Service is great. As others mentioned, if you want to be certain of a table, it's best to book as they are pretty regularly busy. You can go for a great lunch too. Parking is easy. My only negative is the restaurant smells very greasy to me, but that only bothers me upon entering, after that I stop noticing it. Not a lot of ambiance, but this is not unusual for sushi especially in a strip mall.“

“By far the best sushi in California. The chef Jon is a master at crafting delicious cuts of fish and paring them with complementary flavors. This place offers the traditional Japanese experience as if you are transported to Japan and walk into a family owned sushi bar. If you want to try the best sushi in California, this is a must experience.“

“Fine dining and friendly service.“

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

“All You Can Eat (AYCE) sushi!“

“Eylani was very helpful with her food suggestions! My mother and I wanted Japanese but didn’t know what to choose.

We had steak, salmon and shrimp and it was delicious! Service was also fast thank you to the cooks!!

We will be coming back soon!“
