Food: Spicy Tuna Handroll, Joe Joe Special, E-Sushi Special, Edamame We finally made it to E-Sushi, a spot that we always see when we go to the restaurants around it. We came around 9pm and there was only one other table occupied which allowed us to receive a lot of attention from the sushi chef behind the counter. We were quickly seated and we fired away our order. The Spicy Tuna Handroll's... delicious. Maybe in the top 5 Spicy Tuna Handrolls I've ever had. Everything else was good, had good flavor, tasted like it was good quality, it was just a little over sauced for my opinion. When looking at the menu, many of the rolls seemed a little repetitive, just with one or two different ingredients in them. Service / Restaurant: There is plenty of parking available if you come later in the afternoon. During the day time / early afternoon it gets packed with restaurants and gym that share the same plaza. Inside the restaurant it looks the same it probably did when they opened back in the day. The old school vibe of it adds to the charm and creates and intimate feeling. The chef behind the counter gave us a complimentary plate of albacore which was delicious. Notes: Prices are $1 to $3 more expensive than other local sushi spots. Just be aware of this as it does add up over time. read more

E Sushi - Inside - Sushi Bar - Japanese Near Me - Whittier, California

It's a smaller place but packs a big punch with delicious sushi,, endless alcohol, top notch customer service. The ambiance was great! We sat at the bar and started with the fresh oyster appetizer. The oysters come prepared in a soy sauce with other toppings and spices. Our next dish was the Toro Tataki Sashimi. This was my favorite dish of the night. I shouldve ordered 2 more plates. Its blue fin tuna in a special sauce topped with Jalapenos. Its not spicy, just packed with flavors that will make your taste buds very happy. Then we ordered the Sergio roll. If you love spicy, this is for you. It is delicious and it has a kick. If this isnt spicy enough they have one thats spicier which I believe is the Alex. Next we tried the Joe Joe roll, this was a tasty tuna roll with shrimp Tempura a milder flavor compared to the Sergio roll but still very tasty. The gentleman sitting next to me suggested a salmon skin hand roll and the Parker roll. The salmon skin hand roll reminded me of a chicharon. It was delicious but had a hint of sweetness to it which I don't prefer. The last roll was the Parker roll. I don't like Eel but I thought what the heck I'll try it! I was NOT a fan. No Eell for me thank you. Overall the sushi here is one of the tastiest and freshest I've had. I'll be back often! Xo read more

4.9!!! Um hello?! How did I barley find out about this Whittier gem? My boyfriend and I arrived around 7:20PM on a Friday, we were greeted and was asked for my number to be notified as there was about a 20 minute wait. I was called and was told to come in approximately 20 minutes later. Staff is very attentive and helpful to one another and customers; a friendly and caring bunch. We ordered: - Louis: Not overwhelmed with sauces which a lot of Japanese restaurants tend to do. Order it if you enjoy some spicy kick. - Sweet Shrimp: I got more than what I expected. I placed 1 order but ended up with 2 sweet shrimps and shrimp heads on a plate. The shrimp was fresh, citrusy, and soft. 10/10. - Teriyaki Chicken: I originally asked the server if they had karaage chicken. I was told yes so proceeded to order. When the order came out and was given a teriyaki bowl, I asked about what I originally ordered but was told they didn't have it. There was miscommunication and one of the servers tried to fix the error, however, I didn't mind what was placed in front of me because it was probably one of the best teriyaki bowls I've eaten. Simple, but the sauce was perfectly sweet and savory. - Salmon Skin Salad: Delicious. - Miso Soup: Yum. Some places just can't get miso soup right but E Sushi got it. Make sure to come to E Sushi for your next sushi craving. It's a quaint, comfortable and VERY welcoming restaurant. read more

Don't be fooled with all the positive reviews. This placed has really changed. The prices at this sushi restaurant are not the ones you see on the menu online. Bait and switch. Prices are outrageous. All the sushi is $7.95 per pair. The quality is sub par. We ordered 3 rolls and 2 beers and the fee was $79 + tip. This is not a joke. We are not alone. As we looked at the bar and tables, nobody ordered any sushi, just rolls. That should tell management somethinig, but they are clueless. The rolls we ordered had no flavor, one of the rolls was oily, another was just mush (fake crab w/mayo). You get better rolls at Smart and Final. The quality and prices are simply outrageous. This is not a sushi bar, it's below supermakert sushi. We will never come back. Ever. read more

So, I was super hungry this one late night. This place opens to 10:00 p.m., which is fabulous in my book. Not many sushi joints open till 10:00 pm during the week nights. I ordered the premium sushi flight and the Armando roll. Both dishes were delicious. The fish was very fresh. You can tell that a sushi place is good when you walk in and it's filled with people to the brim. I seated myself at the sushi counter area. Just when I sat down, the frequenters were already recommending the specials of the day. They were raving about the premium sushi flights and the abundance of premium rolls. I was so excited! I will definitely be coming back and bringing some friends to try some other dishes. I'm so happy that I found a new go-to sushi place that opens late. Everything on the menu looks amazing! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Woohoo! read more

E Sushi - Albocore roll with ponzu sauce and spicy mayo - Japanese Near Me - Whittier, California

Thought I'd give it another shot, unfortunately huge disappointment with the sushi & pricing. We got the "Sergio" and 2 other weird names. It's very dry. Sushi should not taste like that. The fish itself is ok. We walked out paying $70 for 3 rolls..... I have no idea why this place has 4 stars. read more

The vibe, the quality, and the choices are top notch. This spot has all the best sushi choices!

I had went on Valentine's Day to pick up sushi for my wife. Unfortunately I think my order May have gotten lost in the shuffle and asked for a refund after a significant amount of time. This is somewhat understandable for such a busy day. But the way the manager Amy took care of the situation was really professional and refreshing. I'll definitely keep coming here because she handled it so well. And of course the food was delicious! read more

My husband and I tried this place for the 2nd time and it was delicious. First time we came here we tried two rolls, and let me tell you we also had sashimi was amazingly fresh. Try the yellow tail! The following experience was just as great we tried different things. Not to mention the great service. If theres a wait its definitely worth it read more

Food and service are always great!! We love Amy's hospitality. This is our to go spot whenever we want sushi !!

High prices and mediocre service and sushi. Sadly this is one of the few sushi restaurants left in my vicinity. I have tried to give them a chance , but its not going to work out. The prices are high , upsell is present and care for customer satisfaction is not. Simple requests of custom rolls (with ingredients in THEIR menu) are not possible here. Some of the fish is not the best and it's noticeable in the taste. However, they do charge for quality fish. My search will continue for my next neighborhood sushi spot. read more

First time eating here & they did not disappoint! This will be our to go spot for now on. Not only cause the staff & owners were super nice but my husband & I felt so comfortable & at home there, as if we've been coming for years! If you want good quality fresh fish this is the place to go. Thank you Amy for the great hospitality & the to go cucumber side dish with your secret sauce. It was amazing :) read more

Their food is always delicious. The owners and the service are always so nice. And the ambience is just perfect.

Food is phenomenal, that cilantro bowl. The service is tops. It's a little on the pricier side but with the quality and taste you can ignore the price. read more

PROS: the sushi is fresh CONS: the menu is geared toward the sushi specials which are all basically the same with a few minor variations. Not impressed with the ambiance. Loud RADIO music has to go. $2/cup of tea. TIP: parking lot is easier to access from Scott Ave vs. Whittier Blvd read more

Great service, they saw me waiting a bit longer than the call time for picking up my food and the worker insisted that I take a free drink upon waiting. However, I noticed that another customer and I were waiting for our take out and a server offered waters to both of us. The ambience seemed fun and welcoming, made me think I should have ordered my food to stay. The food was good, nothing too crazy to rave about but it scratched the itch for sushi and they gave generous portions. read more

I want to say this is the worst place I ever try I got a bento box and choose the salmon not sure what they drenched in some kind sauce it was nasty. The rice was hard the tempura had no flavor I can taste the oil . And the California rolls where not tight enough and no flavor . The salad was awful. I want say only miso had flavor. This place it's expensive and didn't meet y expectations. Ralph's sushi taste better then this. read more

The sushi is delicious and decently priced! The Thomas roll was definitely my favorite. Very spicy but also flavorful. The rolls were big and very filling. The miso soup was also very good but didn't get a picture. We arrived close to closing time so we were a little rushed but overall had great service aside from the waitress forgetting to bring out a roll (we were stuffed so it wasn't a big deal). I'll be back any time I'm in the area. read more

Stopped into this place for lunch with a friend and we were both pleasantly surprised. I mean Whittier isn't known for it's fine sushi but this place was pretty good. I enjoyed every dish I ordered. The yellow tail was pretty good but I've had better quality elsewhere but it is still good nonetheless. Spicy tuna was good and actually had spice to it which was delicious. I would definitely come back here again, when in the neighborhood. read more

A Hidden Gem I had the absolute pleasure of enjoying lunch with my buddies at E-Sushi in Whittier, California, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience.

The sushi rolls were nothing short of perfection, with creative combinations that catered to both traditionalists and adventurous foodies alike. The chef's special like Alex were a true highlight, and I found myself trying one after another, unable to resist the temptation.

E sushi is the best - there is nothing here that we don't like. The rolls and appetizers are phenomenal. Some of our favorites are the tuna tataki, whittier special, diamond special, alex roll, etc. Prices are fair for what you get because the rolls are huge without packing too much rice. Everyone at E sushi is great from the owner, servers, sushi chefs - they always treat us so well which is why we come back all the time! read more
