Amazing! I visited Ato with a friend when they were still new and had just opened. We wanted a simple dinner and thought hand rolls would be a good fix. They had sets of 5 hand rolls for $26 which was very reasonable and their quality was great. If there were any substitutions you wanted to make, they would do it for you. Parking was easy and we had a bar seating experience where you got to see everything made in front of you. If you're looking for a hand roll spot in the area, Ato is great. We ended the night with mochi and their yuzu sorbet which was delicious! read more

Nice little hand roll spot in Fullerton with a nice comforting interior, they only have a handful of seats which makes it feel more exclusive but we still sat with no problem. Hand rolls were all amazing the ones that stuck out to us that we'd get over and over blue crab and Hokkaido scallops! We got the 5 hand roll set and we'd recommend which lets you try a little bit of everything. The miso soup was flavorful so was the edamame. The chicken skewers were also good, I'd recommend. Service was very attention and friendly they were easy to hold a conversation with. Crispy tuna had a good crunch bc of the crispy wontons and the sauce was good too. Can't wait to come back when they add new items to the menu. read more

Worth a try if you're craving hand rolls! It's similar to Kazunori so if Kazunori is too far for you, I would go here instead. I ordered 5 hand rolls, but forgot to take pictures! It's clean and service is great! Worth a try! read more

Really wanted to like this new spot but after tonight's experience I don't think I will ever be returning. You can see for yourself that the size and ratio of the roll is terrible compared to local known spots. Waited 45 min to be sat only to receive frozen tartar. Food was mid but experience was terrible. Save yourself the disappointment , GO TO ROL! read more

Literally no one was in the restaurant but still take their sweet ahh time to bring the menu n water etc. also hand roll options are very limited. I'd rather go to ROL hand roll place. This place is BS lol. Saw few pictures on yelp and wanted to try it but the item wasn't even there. Wasted my time 한국 사람이던데. 이딴식으로 장사할꺼면 닫으셈. 손님이 왜 없는지 알겠음 read more

Monday dinner 5:30 togo order. Came home to find my 6 hand rolls were not the ones i ordered. They at least gave me a store credit, wasn't going to drive back... I also got the Sushi sampler, soon as i open the container, i smelled super fishy smell. It was the scallop sushi. Totally lost my appetite... my husband had to spit it out. the other rolls & sushi were edible, but mediocre. I really enjoyed this place when they first opened up. It been a while and now I don't think i will be going back. read more

Ato Hand Roll Bar is amazingly delicious! We got the 6 piece set with spicy garlic edamame, yellowtail carpaccio and the beef tartare I loved every single bite, the yuzu sauce I could take home, it has a nice honeyed sweet and spicy! Perfect with all the hand rolls and especially the Eel hand roll. The staff was so welcoming and friendly, we went on a sprinkling early afternoon and got the best experience. June the manager explained the hand roll portion process, the yummy sauces and what's to come in the next month. Loved their presentation and fish quality. The bar itself is a classic Japanese roll bar, very muted tones and chic ambiance, a great place to catch up with friends. We are definitely looking forward to coming back soon. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Great job for your first week open. read more

Walked in sushi chef ignored us never said hi. Asked to explain what was on the menu and gave a very vague explaination as if like i should know whats in his menu. Then half way through the meal he and other sushi chef leaves there position and disappears never show him again. Spent 170 dollars for 3 people and left hungry. They call it hand roll but more like finger rolls. Way over priced for how they serve the roll very little fish very little rice. Taste like every other mediocre sushi resturant ripping off people with high prices.. Ato why dont you serve the food that you charge for why under serve your customer? Wont be going back here again read more

Ato is hands down one of the best handroll & sushi spots I've been to. The quality of the fish is incredibly fresh, every piece melts in your mouth, and the presentation is beautiful. The sushi chef is truly amazing. The atmosphere is on point and staff is warm, attentive, and makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. If you're looking for top-notch sushi and outstanding service, this is the place to go! Highly recommend. read more

First time trying it as they just opened a little over a week ago. ATO took the place of Chicken University. As you walk in, there's about 12 seats. The ambience and decorations are simple and nice. The wait staff was friendly. It wasn't very busy and hopefully things will pick up for this small place. The menu is pretty straight forward and you order directly with the server. The hand rolls are made to order and appetizers were all good and deserving of 4/5 stars. The only reason why I'm rating it 4 stars is their hand rolls menu is limited in comparison to places like ROL and other hand roll bars. Maybe they'll expand their menu. As for the highlights, their beef tartare was really good. It's served with small chunks of Asian pears and was really refreshing. Another perk is they provide real wasabi. The tempura batter on the shrimp was a really nice texture, and not too heavy. read more

Came for lunch, got the happy hour menu items. Great quality food with great service.

My boyfriend and I were going to grab some drinks at the liquor store next-door when we realized this location is no longer chicken university and now is ATO Handroll. We decided to call and make sure that they were open as it's really dark from the outside and yes, they were. We walked in just to have some beers. We ordered some beer and sake, and had a wonderful conversation with the two staff that were on site: a woman and a man, we Conversed for a good hour and cannot wait to come back and actually try their food. Such a wonderful spot! read more

If you're expecting a trendy, vibey spot with IG worthy cocktails and stuff, try yelp again. But if you want a quick bite, tasty rolls and excellent service, this spot is for you. I recommend the Truffle Salmon, ATO special roll and the Blue Crab, my top 3 faves. I've already been here twice and I know it won't be my last. read more

I visit Anaheim for work at least once a month and have food delivered to my hotel often. I'm a huge fan of sushi and hand rolls, but typically find it doesn't travel well. I took a chance with Ato given the reviews, and am so glad I did! Fresh fish, great combinations, and had in-restaurant quality despite being ordered on DD. I will definitely order again the next time I'm in town. read more

We came right at open on a Saturday and were seated right away. By the time we left the entire bar was full minus the seats we occupied. Our chef Yuna was phenomenal, she was so kind and talked to us while she made our rolls. The pace was perfect, not too fast and not too slow. For drinks we got the melon soda and yuzu lemonade, the melon soda is on the sweeter side while the yuzu lemonade is nice and tart. We ordered the beef tartare, yellowtail carpaccio, miso soup, and spicy tuna chips for appetizers and WOW! The spicy tuna chips is a must order. They have a variety of set options but we went for the 5 piece set for $26 which is a great price. My favorite of the rolls was the ato special tuna, hokkaido scallop, and the blue crab. If the roll is the same price as another you can substitute which is really nice. We ended with a yuzu sorbet which was so refreshing. The interior is all bar seating with a cozy lighting and intimate setting. We loved it here, Thank you to Yuna and Ran for the amazing service! read more

Really good quality fish. So fresh and the rice was perfect. The cucumber salad was also very good. Good service and ambiance.

went here the other day for a friends birthday, it was a party of 7 so we took up majority of the bar space, and were the only ones in the restaurant. the owner and the employees are extremely soft spoken. regardless of this, they were each super kind and generous. towards the end of our meal, they served us some hamachi-kama on the house, which was delicious and they should definitely add to the menu. the ambiance was cool, calm, and classy. a fun place to take friends or go on a date. the food was okay. 7/10. the fish in the handrolls are minced, so it was pretty mushy imo, and i didn't particularly enjoy that. however the portions are great! in comparison to ROL by kei concepts, ATO hooks it up with the protein. so for that reason, i'd come back. more bang for ur buck. the seaweed salad was typical, not bad, but not to die for. just something to pick on in between hand rolls. i wish they offered sunomono (cucumber) salad. the skewers, however, were a game changer in my experience of handrolls bars. I highly recommend the chicken & leek skewers. cooked perfectly, super tender & juicy, and flavorful! read more

Check out the new hand roll bar in OC! My friends and I tried the set menu, which came with 5 hand rolls for $26. The selection included ato special tuna, salmon, jalapeno yellowtail, blue crab, and Hokkaido scallop. We also added a spicy tuna with crispy chips and a momo (chicken thigh) skewer. Our favorite was the ato special tuna - so much flavor packed into one bite and truffle salmon. I highly recommend drizzling some of their housemade yuzu sauce and adding kizami wasabi for extra kick. The service was super friendly, and the staff even treated us to samples of sake! It's a great spot for hand rolls! read more

6 rolls wasn't enough. I want more! The fish tasted great. Their service is excellent. I went for lunch.

We came close to closing and they were very kind and attentive! We got the 6 handroll set and got to choose which handrolls we wanted which was nice. My fave were the eel and bluefin tuna which were so delicious and perfectly prepared. Another hit was the spicy tuna crispy rice, which was one of the best i've had at any sushi spot! Would definitely recommend, service was fast, food was yummy, and vibes were great! read more

Great handroll spot hidden in such a random plaza but with plenty of parking. The atmosphere is casual with seating on the bar where you can see the chef make your food. The owner is amazing too, had a very good conversation about his history and experience working as a chef. The fish quality and portions in the hand rolls are good, and I love that you can pick whichever rolls you want and even double up on rolls. read more

I've been here three times now, and the quality has been consistently impressive ever since they've renovated this restaurant under a new owner. Their handrolls are fresh and flavorful, and the fish is always excellent condition. Yesterday I tried the truffle salmon, bluefin tuna, blue crab, and eel all outstanding. Each visit makes me appreciate this place even more. I'm pretty much becoming a regular, and I'm excited to bring more people here. Part of me hopes it doesn't get too busy... The price is very reasonable as well. read more

Great service and good food! They are brand new and just opened a week ago. It's only bar stool seating. So there is no table to accommodate large parties. Menu is not that extensive, but their tempura and agedashi tofu are fried perfectly--crispy but light. Beef tartare comes with pear bits and is so refreshing. The hand rolls are very well made. Will definitely be back and hope they will continue to add to their menu options so that we can keep coming back to try different things! read more

Cute little dinner spot for me and the wife. Food was delicious and will be a new spot in my regular rotation.

New handroll bar in town! The handrolls are great! They weren't overly stuffed with rice like some other places I've been to. Also, the texture of the nori was just right - crunchy with every bite. (Pro tip: order the yuzu sauce on the side as they pair really well with some of their selections.) Also recommend their drinks as well! I got the Yuzu lemonade and it was refreshing and had the right amount of sweetness. The service was amazing too. Our waiter was very attentive to our requests and our menu items came out quickly without us needing to constantly wait. Recommend this place for anyone looking to treat themselves to some good hand rolls. read more

Really glad I found this place on Yelp! The rolls were really fresh and I especially appreciated how the scallop was more simple and not covered in mayo like other places.

Amazing food service and ambiance. We came in for a late dinner and had some of the best hand rolls. Definitely a must try

This place just opened up about nine days ago, and I can already tell I'm going to come back frequently. The hand rolls here are pretty darn good. They're fresh, perfectly balanced, and wrapped in crispy seaweed (Eat it quickly). The price is way more affordable compared to other hand roll spots in OC. To top it off, they offered a free special house-made spicy yuzu sauce, which was the perfect blend of citrusy heat and umami. Beyond the food, the ambiance here is a vibe. The restaurant is quiet, clean, and has a cozy, welcoming feel. They play throwback Korean OSTs in the background, which adds to the relaxed vibe. I'm glad they opened up in this area, which is local to Buena Park/Fullerton! I saw some previous reviews mention bad service, but honestly, I don't know what they were talking about. The service was amazing when we went. The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient. Our rolls came out fresh and fast, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. If you're a fan of hand rolls and looking for an affordable, high-quality spot with a great atmosphere, come ATO! read more
