employees are so nice and the food is awesome, i go here every time i want sushi. its AMAZING. 10/10

This used to be Chomp, which I'd frequent 15-20 years ago because it was my favorite Fullerton restaurant. I could tell by viewing the menu this would be a memorable experience. Elisa was friendly and delivered good service. The service was kind of slow, but the dishes were very delicious. The fish was fresh and I saw the chef filleting a whole fish, which I don't think I've seen in Southern California before. Maybe because I don't typically sit at or near the bar. The Yellowtail Jalapeño was perfectly spicy and had the umami I appreciate. The micro greens and tomato were nice additions to the plate. The Coconut Shrimp Roll had coconut shrimp, coconut mayo, and shaved coconut. This was a surprisingly delightful combination. The Lemon Salmon Roll was very good, but could've benefited from a sauce. The Caliente and Golden Tiger Rolls were also tasty. I would return for more rolls, cold signature plates, and their Uni Pasta. They offer BOGO deals on certain rolls and have an attractive selection of liquors & cocktails. This is a classy location for celebrating. read more

The family came here for dinner on our bonus day in the LA area. Inside is well decorated with Japanese Village vibes. Menu has a lot of upscale items but there are some deals to be had that helps your pocket book. Place was packed on this particular day but we managed to snag one of the last tables. We tried the Chirashi bowl. Salmon Avocado roll, Honeymoon roll, Super Dragon roll, and Tempura Udon. Food was good and the atmosphere felt like we were in a village which the family thought added to the ambience. Servers came often at the start but kinda disappeared at the end and had to flag for more hot water for the tea and also for the bill. It's a nice spot with street parking. read more

Came in for lunch with my family and received horrible service. At one point, we had to get up from our seat to grab our own utensils and wave down servers. Mind you, the restaurant was at maybe 30% capacity so it wasn't even busy. We had a few kids with us too who were hungry so that didn't make the experience better. I will say, the food came out quickly but that was it's only saving grace. After finishing our meal, we were left at our table for 15 minutes with no one checking up on us. Dirty plates were stacked high. When I went to find our server, he was drinking alcohol with his customers. Of course. That's why we got horrible service. If you're looking for a college vibe, low end sushi spot-- this place is it. First and last time here. read more

Checked out Enraku after seeing all the great reviews. Overall great service, food came out super fast, and ambiance was great. Tons of seats so did not have to wait. They currently have tons of special (some only for the weekday) and buy one roll and get the second 50% off. Their menu is massive! Tons of things to get if you aren't into sushi or want something cooked. Parking is definitely a challenge though. Tough finding street parking and recommend looking for public parking lot nearby. read more

Loved the quality of food. The Service was fast and consistent. The space they have is huge, it makes it not feel crammed. The ambiance is mellow and beautiful. The presentation of the food was beautiful. Including how they bring the rice in a covered lid, to keep it warm and fluffy. They offer authentic sushi and yet still have bento combinations that are so much more than the basic types of options. As well as kids meal which is amazing. When finished they came and offered free ice cream bars. Super yummy. Honestly one of the best spots I have been to. read more

Now my 2nd time trying this new sushi joint for dinner. Got similar things both times. The first time we had it, we got the Gurume premium and we were won over. It was so good for the price! We were there around 8pm so I especially appreciated how fresh the fish and good the sushi rice was. This most recent time, we were there around 8:30pm and the sushi rice was definitely disappointing. It was stale and the texture was super off which took away from the sushi. We also tried the seasonal truffle eel and were super disappointed by how small and measly the portion size was for the price. The smallest pieces of eel.. Combining both experiences, I'd give this place 4 stars! Will most likely go back to our usual sushi spot after this last visit. read more

Enraku - GURUME PREMIUM SUSHI - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fullerton, California

Nice spot in downtown Fullerton with each seating area feeling a bit more private. Good noise level and ambience for dates and small group gatherings. Ordered a sashimi set and everything was really solid. Yellowtail hits hard, as does the salmon and albacore. Not even a fan of albacore or tuna but it was delicious to me! They have the good wasabi (even the free one is bomb) you can order too. Service was pretty quick given that it was close to closing time. Coming here again since it's nearby for me :) read more

Enraku was such a cute place to hang out in downtown Fullerton. We came and didn't even know that they were having BOGO 50% off promotion for both Chef's Special Rolls and Hot Sake, so that was a bonus on top of the delicious food and drinks. Besides the rolls, their Fried Corn was definitely our highlight of the night. It's individually coated with tempura flour so super crunchy and fun to eat. The Takoyaki was also very delish! Service was very fast and polite. The only thing we would ask for improvement is the AC; it got pretty hot since we were also enjoying some sake during the meal. Apart from the heat, we had a pleasant time. Will definitely come back! read more

Came here for dinner and honestly didn't know what to expect, but it ended up being a pretty solid experience overall. The place has a nice vibe inside. Dim lighting, clean setup, and it feels a little more elevated than your typical sushi spot in the area. Not too loud, not too quiet. Good balance if you're just trying to sit down and enjoy your meal. We also tried a couple of their other dishes and they all came out well prepared. Nothing really missed, but at the same time nothing that completely blew me away either. Just consistently good across the board. Service was alright. I had to flag someome down a few times for water refills. Food came out at a steady pace and we didn't feel rushed at all. Not necessarily a spot I'd go out of my way for, but definitely one I'd keep in rotation. read more

Menu has lots of options, and the restaurant is very spacious. Raw fish is decent and beautiful presentation. The restaurant is understaffed and so while the staff are polite and nice, it takes a while to get someone's attention. As a result, I would not recommend going there if you have time constraint. read more

Love this place! The rolls are big, buy one get one 50% off, and yummy. There's a wide variety to choose from, and there's plenty of seating inside. Only thing is service can be slow at times, but overall it's a great spot if you're craving some rolls read more

Mid tier sushi and service. We came for lunch and ordered the crispy tuna rice to start. This was ok. I've definitely had way better before. For the sushi we got the caterpillar roll and the giant salmon roll. The salmon was ok - it was drowning in sauce. My friend enjoyed the caterpillar one. We also got the curry udon which was also just ok. Everything about the food was just ok. The service was pretty mid too. She checked in once and that was it and it took us a while to flag her down for the check. read more

Enraku in Fullerton is such a fun, lively spot -- perfect for a group dinner. I came here last month with friends for a birthday celebration (there were about eight of us), and the experience was great from start to finish. Parking can be a little tricky at first, but honestly just wait a few minutes -- with so many restaurants nearby, someone is always pulling out and a spot opens up quickly. The service really stood out. The waitresses and waiters were attentive, constantly checking in, refilling waters, and making sure food came out in a timely manner even with a bigger group. That reminder service makes a big difference. The portions are also really generous. I like to watch my portion control, so I appreciated being able to enjoy my meal and still take leftovers home. Great atmosphere, great food. read more

New sushi spot in downtown Fullerton with BOGO $1 hot sake and Japanese bottled beer. They also have a sign at the front for $5 specialty shots. The interior is Japanese themed and dimly lit with plenty of nooks and tables for parties of all sizes. Seems like a chill place to hangout with friends and grab a drink before heading around DTF. Their rolls are BOGO 50% off and the presentation for their sashimi is nice. read more

Good spot, but nothing memorable. Couple diamond in the rough items. Came here for our weekly date night and ordered the basics (sake & edamame). If the rating menu says "slightly sweet", it's going to be very sweet. I would order sake on the dryer side and it may help your taste buds dramatically. The "sweet" sake we ordered was Kubota Junmai Daiginjo. The "dry" Kiushu Junmai Daiginjo was much better for us. The diamonds on rough item was the Bluefin Toastada. Bluefin was incredible with cotija cheese on a crisp tortilla. We ordered the bluefin nigori & sashimi and quality wasn't as good as bluefin on Tostada. I'm currently enjoying a low carb diet and ordered Ex-Girlfriend Roll. There's no rice, but crabmeat with soy paper. This roll was incredible. Very Very filling and a definite order. The other rolls were good, but standard and generic. Nothing else was Great or memorable. 2 orders of Gyoza were also good. Total Bill was reasonable for a couple with drinks on a sushi date. Don't expect service to be the same waiter/waitress. They appear to all work together. Holding out and waiting for one person will have you waiting for a long time. Orders are tracked electronically, so any server can help. I would come back, but most likely for a lunch special or quick date night. read more

Came here in a busy Saturday night, but we were seated within like 20 minutes. They have a huge menu where there's something for everyone so I can see why there's so many large groups and families flocking here. We ordered 2 rolls, an appetizer (fried corn), 2 glasses of wine, 1 sashimi special, and chicken Katsu udon (pictured below)...and with tip it came about $50 for two people. The sushi roll deal for buy one get 50% off the other is something to take advantage of. I can't remember the rolls my friend got, but she enjoyed both. They don't tell you this, but your food will come out in the order it's made. So my friend was done with both her rolls by the time my katsu was served so heads up! It wasn't a big deal for us, but might be a little awkward if you're on a first date or something hahaha. Overall the food is solid and if you can take advantage of the deals/happy hour, it'll stretch the dollar amount of how worth it the place is to you. The atmosphere is fun and the restaurant is huge so it's teeming with patrons. Service is great as everyone is super helpful. Overall enjoyable and I can see myself coming back if I was in the area. Wouldn't consider this place for a special trip hence the 4 stars! read more

Enraku - CHICKEN KATSU CURRY UDON - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fullerton, California

Started out as 5 star then slowly things went south. We went on a Saturday evening around 6:45pm. Parking lot was crowded so we parked across the street in the free parking structure. We waited about 15 min to be seated. Large restaurant with good ambience. We ordered right away as we were hungry. We got the baked salmon roll, the ex-girlfriend roll and the udon with the chicken katsu. 5/5 the salmon roll was delicious. Came about 15 min after we ordered. About 10 min later our second roll came out which was also good. 3/5 the server only checked in on us once. After waiting about 36 min I waved him down to ask about my udon. He said he would check in on it and that the kitchen was backed up. I wish he had told us that earlier. 45 min after ordering, he brought out the udon and katsu. I was ready to cancel the order. 2/5 the Chicken katsu was cold even though the server said that it had just come out. The Udon broth was watered down and had no flavor. 4/5 service recovery. The server did apologize and gave me a price adjustment on the Udon. Otherwise this review would have been a 3 star. Will probably never dine in on a Saturday evening again, will only order rolls for take out and never order their udon. read more

TL;DR Delicious eel. Good motsunabe. Beautiful plating, good decor, good service. Food I got the unagi, scallop uni, and motsunabe. The unagi was my favorite. It was so soft and had a charred flavor from the grill. The truffle flavor complimented the eel so well. It was on top of a crisped rice, that mimicked a unagi rice bowl. The scallop was lightly torched and the uni was fresh. The broth of the motsunabe was deep, but a little salty. I wish there was rice or noodles at the end. The presentation was interesting. The small intestine was soft, and the large intestine was creamy. I tried their uni pasta, but I couldn't taste the uni in the sauce. I also wished the noodles were round pasta noodles, but they tasted like kalguksu noodles (korean noodles). Service and Ambiance The service was good. They were busy, and they were still very attentive. I enjoyed the timing of when the food came out. The space is nicely decorated. Although, the music is not my taste. read more

Our first time coming here and it was rly enjoyable! Fish was super fresh. The resturant has ample seating and the resturant was clean! The service was also great since the servers would continuously check up on us despite us being seated on a corner seat. Food: Seafood udon 9/10: this was surprisingly so delicious. It kinda reminded me of the Chinese tomato egg noodle dish. It had a tomato base flavor but the egg added to the soup made it somewhat creamy. I would def order this again! Truffle salmon carpaccio 10/10: fish was so fresh and the truffle flavor was strong enough where I loved it. Def order this!! Uni scallop 9/10: I'm always a fan of scallop and this dish did not disappoint. However the scallop was a bit over torched for my taste but the dish was still amazing. Snow White roll 5/10: this dish was really basic and it lacked flavor. It was just rice and fish. I would've expected some type of yuzu or citrus sauce to go with it. On the bright side the fish inside the roll was fresh. Truffle hunter 10/10! Wow this was one of the best roll I've tried! The flavor was there and maybe I'm just a big fan of the truffle taste but this roll is everything I could've asked for in a roll. Toro 8/10 super fatty and fresh! Overall I would def come back to try other dishes and get my favorite dishes again! read more

Ordered one appetizer, two rolls, one pork katsu curry, and one chirashi bowl. Most restaurants bring out the appetizer first but this place brought out the chirashi bowl first. It wasn't too fresh either. The two rolls came out after and then the appetizer. The pork katsu curry came out last and I had to call a server to ask about my dish. They had told me kitchen orders usually take longer but I wish I was informed of this in advance so I could have ordered something else instead of waiting. The taste was mediocre at best. It's nothing extraordinary and all orders took too long to come out. The servers were all really nice and the seating area is nicely designed but I wouldn't come back. read more

I'm a little backed up on writing reviews, but I had to post this one because we had such a great night here. I'll start by saying the rolls were amazing. Plus, they currently have a promo where you order one roll and get the second at 50% off. Not AYCE but I was sooooooo satisfied. We ordered the premium sashimi and shared it among a party of 4. I was especially happy with the tuna and uni because both were incredibly fresh, and I have pretty high standards when it comes to those two. They definitely did not disappoint. One of the highlights of the night was the scallop uni. Everyone at the table was in awe. I usually find scallops a bit bland, but this dish had the perfect balance with a light citrusy flavor and fresh uni on top. Everything else we ordered was a hit as well. We ended the night with soup, and even one friend who normally doesn't like tripe ended up loving it. Service was quick and efficient despite the restaurant being busy. The space is very roomy with plenty of booths, making it a great spot to dine without too much background noise. Parking was also easy and convenient. The menu had pictures and an overwhelming selection to pick ftom which is a PLUS for me lol I'm gonna be back to try the rest of the menu read more

We visited this place for the first time for our company Christmas dinner, and the atmosphere was wonderful from the moment we walked in. It felt warm, inviting, and perfect for an end-of-year gathering. The service was also very professional throughout the evening. Everyone in our group ordered the premium sashimi and premium sushi, so it did take a bit of time for the food to come out. However, the wait was absolutely worth it--the quality and freshness of the fish were outstanding, and you could really tell a lot of care went into the preparation. Overall, we were very satisfied with the food, service, and ambiance. This is a great spot for company dinners or special occasions, and we would definitely come back. read more

Enraku is a gem tucked in the heart of downtown Fullerton. I stopped by while working nearby and was really impressed with the quality, atmosphere, and service, especially for a weekday lunch! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted warmly by the staff and sushi chefs. The ambiance is cozy with Japanese-inspired decor and cushioned seating. I sat next to the sushi bar and was able to watch the chefs work, which was fun to see up close. Despite arriving just after they opened on a Friday, I noticed a mix of solo diners, small groups, and even a big table of people in suits, which tells me this spot is definitely popular with locals and nearby businesses. *Lunch Chirashi Special: This lunch special was delicious! It comes with a warm cup of miso soup, and the fish was fresh and high quality. The bowl included shrimp, tuna, salmon, octopus, and a few white fish varieties, plus tamago, kelp, and what I think were pickled shallots. For me, this dish was so filling and a great size for a lunch chirashi bowl. I left very full and satisfied. A few details I appreciated: the seafood was cold while the sushi rice was still warm, as it should be. They also sprinkled furikake over the rice, which added great flavor. And my personal favorite: it came in a cute oval bento-style bowl. While eating, I saw lots of rolls coming out, and the plating was consistently beautiful. I also think I overheard the large group talking about a happy hour and great deals for the drinks. On top of that, they have a dine-in deal for buy one, get one 50% off deal on rolls, so I'll definitely be back with a couple of friends to take advantage. Parking is available in the back (shared with nearby restaurants), and since it's right across from the train station, it's an easy spot to reach. While I was eating (and watching the chefs hard at work), they would occasionally smile or check in to make sure I was enjoying everything. When I finished, they even gave me a warm farewell, a simple gesture that really added to the experience and made the visit feel genuine and personal. Overall, this was great experience and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more! read more

4.5 / 5 stars: It's right in downtown Fullerton, so many places to walk to and plenty of street or even parking lot parking. This place is huge but has a cozy and intimate vibe just with a lot of tucked in booths, which is great! My cousin got there before me and needed some water and the wait staff was no where to be seen and took a while to come check on us. Knocking half a star off for the lack of service. The waiter was Japanese so I think they are actually Japanese owned/ran, which is always a plus. Their menu was big too, and the photos are great. They had a special in one of the inserts that was buy 1 roll, get another roll for 50% off. Nice! We ordered a couple of rolls and they were good. Really tasty and not too much rice. Since we've both had uni pasta before, we decided to order the mentaiko (pollock roe) pasta and it was perfectly creamy, rich and flavorful. It might not look big in the photo but it's a big portion! I would definitely come back to try a bunch of the other dishes that I also wanted to try! read more

It's not the BEST sushi experience if you are looking to get it here. However! It's good for a party of four to have your own private booth for business lunch. Service is good. It's a solid place to have sushi. Full transparency, I only had their chirashi which was enjoyable~ Their chef selection nigiri is something I wouldn't mind trying next time- It reminded me of Tokai sushi in Santa Clarita- but larger, better ambience and larger selection. read more

I came here for two things and two things only, their uni and uni pasta that was one of their popular dishes: The uni sushi was delicious, it tasted super fresh and it was beautiful (they only charge 2 dollars for fresh wasabi or kizami, which other places literally charge 4, which is amazing!!) I'd come back just to get that, on the side note I did end up ordering green beans with soy sauce marinade or something too, also very yum. BUT, let's get to the uni pasta part. I am not a hater, I have to admit it was very very creamy but the uni was not as fresh as the sushi one, it was brittle and kind of sad. The carbonara (or whatever the sauce was) overpowered the uni like crazy you can't taste the uni even if you individually took the mashed up piece and ate it. I've had great uni pasta before that was balanced enough where you can taste that umami flavor of the uni that should not be hidden behind the carbonara (or again, whatever the sauce was) flavor. Well, anyway, I'm sure their rolls and other dishes are amazing but that one wasn't up to par with my tastebuds. I might be a little bias because I've had others. Other than that, their servers were super kind and always checking up on you. And the vibe was the kind where it's nice, dark, warm, and cozy even when it was bright outside. sooo 8/10 their uni pasta could be better but I'd come back to try their other dishes and get that uni sushi again read more

Slowwwwwwwww service. Man, the service was really bad. Half of our party got their food, and the other half didn't. They had to wait an additional 20 minutes for their food. When I asked about their food, the waitress said, "sorry, the kitchen is backed up." Then it finally came out a few minutes after I asked. Watching paint dry was fasting than getting our food at Enraku. They really need to improve that. It's horrible to have half of the party eating, while the other just sit there hungry. Some kind of modern-day torture if you ask me. They recently opened. So, I'm trying not to burn them too hard, and give some grace. The dining chairs are very uncomfortable. Still, hard, not comfortable. Opt for a booth if you can. We gave the booth to the older ones in our party. Just to be courteous. The food was alright. Subpar and very mediocre. I've been to better sushi spots. Much better. Maybe this is just growing pains? Hoping they do better next time. I'll wait awhile before coming back. Give them time to work out the kinks. read more

Love the newly renovated space and the fact that this place now serves high grade sushi is even more the reason Fullerton is THE spot for fantastic foods and vibes. This place is super spacious and the decor not only cater to a very intimate date night vibe, but also has plenty of room for large parties or families. Quality of fish is phenomenal, plenty of options to choose from and their menu is extensive! They have katsu and a wide variety of udon (in case your kids don't enjoy sushi) as well.

I think Enraku is my new favorite non-omakase spot for sushi in Fullerton! The decor and vibes are immaculate, the customer service is excellent, and the food is delicious. Parking is always tough in Downtown Fullerton, but it helps that they have their own private lot. Basically you can take advantage of free parking if you get there early enough. So far, I've tried their cut rolls, handrolls, sashimi, spicy seafood udon, and mentaiko udon. All were 10/10 bangers, but I usually don't order the same dishes again just so I can try new ones the next time I visit. Except for their otoro handroll -- that one is a repeat order for sure. I'd recommend this spot for a quaint date night if you want good food and a killer ambiance to match! read more

Came here on a Friday night with a group of 8 and honestly, it could not have gone smoother. Big groups can be chaotic, but our server Daniel handled us like a pro -- super attentive without being overbearing. He must have noticed I was obsessed with ginger because brought a mountain of it as a refill (elite service tbh). He also made sure we knew about all the deals, which we definitely appreciated, and somehow managed to keep everyone's drinks full the entire night. The whole table just stayed in a good mood -- one of those easy, fun dinners where everything flows. As for the food, not a single miss. Every roll, every dish -- solid across the board, and there were a ton of options to choose from. Shoutout to Daniel for really making the night. Service like that makes all the difference.
