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.

Such a great place for your classic rolls ! We’ve been coming here for years with the family and John always does an amazing job at executing his rolls. The flavors are always consistent and the portions are perfect enough for yourself or sharing with friends.

He’s such a happy chef which makes the vibe that much more fun. Great music, good conversations, amazing service, and the perfect place for your classic go to rolls. My favorite will always be the lobster roll, uni, and baked albacore roll !

This is my favorite sushi spot in Orange County! If you want a fun atmosphere that’s secluded yet on the maps of 5-star everything…this is the place! John is the sushi chef and owner and he treats everyone here like family. MUST go here! Promise you it will be an unforgettable experience! Love you John! - Serra & Kyra

Best Sushi ever, Big John is a great guy and an excellent chef! Great atmosphere, lots of regular’s. Try ordering an earthquake also known as a Doug roll! He’s going to hate me for that one! Ha ha

Love the sushi chef/owner, John and long time waitress, Kim. Always friendly no matter how busy.

The lady that answers the phone the one that serves you is sooooooooo rude . I’m done going there she yells at everyone. Soooooo over her mouth. The owner is the one making the sushi he is nice . But to let her treat people the way she does is just wrong !!!!!! I’m telling all my friends to stop going . No one wants to be yelled at !!!

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.

Great restaurant! Google says they are open Saturday but it looks like they may have hours wrong. Fantastic when they are open though!

Hidden Gem in HB - Delicious sushi at this small cozy spot in a strip mall

This is a small family run operation, the sushi chef is a nice older gentleman who magically produces delicious sushi. We found this place by accident and are so glad we did, it’s easily the beat sushi spot in the neighborhood.

They have a salmon over Cali roll that heavenly!
This is our new go to spot.

Must try:
Scallops sushi, salmon sushi!

1) Jeff roll (yellowtail over spicy tuna with a slice of garlic)

2) zero cut roll (assorted sushi over spicy tuna wrapped in Cali no-rice)

Then place is chill with a Japanese rock n roll vibe
