I had my doubts about a shabu spot located in Huntington Beach of all places, but ended up here for…read morea work lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Each person gets their own individual pots and they have a variety of broths to choose from. If you're not too sure which broth you want to commit to, they'll give you a small sample to help you choose! I ended up with the Chinese herbal broth and it went nicely with the goma and ponzu dipping sauces. They have a self-serve bar for sauces, vegetables, raw seafood, and even sushi! The sushi was surprisingly good for an ayce shabu spot and there were 4-5 roll options to choose from. I love that each table has a screen to order drinks, appetizers, meats, and desserts because it made the whole dining experience run so seamlessly (especially for our large group) and we weren't left waiting for any food to come! The only downside is that the premium lunch option doesn't include wagyu, so I'll have to come back for dinner.

Broths are very bland. I tried the spicy miso and the regular miso and both are bland compared to…read moreother places. This sucked since when cooking the meat, you're forced to eat it with sauce or some type of dipping which I don't usually do. Service was fine, came by to grab the empty plates, immediately brought out our meat, and made sure we had water. As for the interior, it's really nice inside! Overall, I'd probably only go here for lunch but besides that, I'd go somewhere else.

I'm not a fan of sushi because I don't like raw fish, but this is legitimately the only place I have made an exception. The service was good.

Service: I would say service is super kind! Not that attentive but nice. Ambiance: Cozy, warm, and bit dim inside. Very nice restaurant feel! I love how all the Kopan locations have this minimalist Japanese-inspired style to it.

My sushi chef name Mins is the best--his skill, attention to detail, and consistency keep me coming back every time. The sashimi is absolutely amazing and one of the best dishes on the menu.

Five stars all the way!

As a sushi lover, I'm always on the look out for new sushi restaurants near me. This restaurant…read moreisn't new, they've actually been here for 10 years but they just introduced a new all you can eat menu which is what intrigued me and my boyfriend to come try it out! The price for AYCE is $37.95 which is pretty fair, it included limited special items such as sashimi, sweet shrimp, jumbo scallop, amberjack, salmon belly, and more. Although the special items were limited, having one of each is enough given the large variety on the menu. (Pro tip, come with a big group of friends so you can have the pieces from those who don't want their portion) Everything was super fresh and the presentation was beautiful. You can tell the chef puts a lot of effort into every plate. My favorite items were the salmon belly, sweet shrimp sushi, and baked green mussels. So buttery and delicious! We ended our meal with the fried banana ice cream. I thought the fried banana would be heavy after a big meal, but it didn't feel that way at all. It was yummy, creamy and refreshing. It's hard not to feel heavy after having ayce but luckily we ordered just the right amount of everything! The restaurant is small but offers a good amount of seating from tables to a sushi bar and even a small patio. The parking lot is small since it shares a parking lot with a few other businesses, but i've never had a problem finding parking here. The service was absolutely amazing and genuinely made our entire dining experience better, our server Stella and Chef Min were the best! The restaurant was empty when we got there but I really hope that changes soon because this is one of my new favorite sushi restaurants in OC!

I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants over the years, and this place easily ranks in my Top 3. Every piece was exceptionally fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. I have to admit, I'm usually not a fan of tuna. But the moment I tasted the tuna here, I thought, "Have I been eating fake tuna all my life?" It was that good--clean, rich, buttery, and unlike anything I've had before. Another pleasant surprise was the California roll. I've eaten countless California rolls, but this was the first time I had one made with real crab instead of imitation crab. The difference was incredible, and I was genuinely impressed. The restaurant itself is stunning. The interior design is elegant and thoughtfully done. What I initially thought was wallpaper turned out to be artwork by a renowned art director, which made me appreciate the space even more. And the fish-shaped light fixtures hanging from the ceiling are absolutely beautiful. Finding a truly outstanding sushi restaurant that I can keep coming back to is rare, and I'm so happy I found this place. This is the kind of sushi spot that turns first-time visitors into regulars. Highly recommended!

Himizu is an unreal AYCE experience in Westminster…read more I was visiting from out of town and some of my local friends wanted to eat at this spot and it did not disappoint. I didn't know what to expect but even if I did, I can say that it would have exceeded those expectations. We had a reservation for 7 and were able to get seated promptly. We got the VIP option and once the food started, it never stopped coming. What you get for $75 was quite literally insane, in the best way possible. Since we came a bit close to closing time, the servers didn't waste any time and just brought out everything that was offered on that menu since we didn't have any dietary restrictions. From oysters to meats to sushi to lobster tails, this was a feast that we kept thinking about for days after. Everything was delicious and would definitely come back again. Make sure to come hungry if you make a trip to Himizu!

As we ordered our first items, the first bite was a sashimi and come to see there is a strand of hair in the sushi. I told the server right away, and he wasn't very apologetic at all. We decided to carry on with our dinner and mid way into our meal, we ordered the hamachi sashimi. Before taking a bite, I noticed a strand in the piece of sushi, so i pulled it out and it turned out to be a long strand if fabric in the sushi. I showed our server and he came back and said "it was just a piece of fabric from our towel" in a way to make us feel better... towel shouldn't be in food. They decided to give us 15% off which is honestly not worth it for the experience and service we got. We asked to speak to a manager but there was none on the floor and only a shift lead. No one seemed to care too much about the issue on hand, didn't even sound apologetic at all for this inconvenience and terrible incident. I will say the food was solid but from this experience I will definitely not come back.
