    EBISU SASHIMI
    Innsu K.

    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 :)

    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.

    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

    as a fan of chomp, i'm glad it's been rebranded as enraku. this is my fav spot to go when i'm feeling fancy. my partner & i love the spicy garlic edamame. we've had it from so many places, but nothing beats enraku's sauce. you get a 50% off from any of the rolls you choose if you get two, & the strawberry & pineapple nigori are to die for

    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.

    burrata salad
    Anna N.

    i'm not even kidding their burrata salad and special salmon mango has me in a chokehold. it's literally sooooo good and refreshing and i order it every single time i come without missing a beat. Salmon tastes spectacular and super fresh. service is a little slow from time to time but servers are generally very nice and friendly!! nice romantic private atmosphere!! suitable for hanging out with friends or work lunch or even a date!

    BOGO 50% off rolls
    Kathy V.

    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.

    Very sweet sake
    Thomas B.

    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.

    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

    CHICKEN KATSU CURRY UDON
    Rhea M.

    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!

    BAKED SALMON ROLL
    Karen L.

    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.

    Motsunabe
    Joanne K.

    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.

    FATTY TUNA(TORO) 1PC Uni  Hokkaido scallop
    Sharlene D.

    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!

We opted for hot, better for digestion :) Our libation: Kubota sake - semi dry, rich, clean Our dishes: Assorted sashimi (16 pcs) - omakase. No soy sauce needed. Chef prepared with delicious flavors in mind. Tiger scallops - served in a what appears to resemble petrified wood, carved into a long boatlike dish. Hokkaido shrimp, cilantro oil, chilaquita (Peruvian onion relish), sweet potato crisp, smoke aji Amarillo (Peruvian yellow chili) Leche de tigre (rich emulsion of limes, Peruvian spices and chilis) - A complexity of flavors that comes together so completely. Eat with spoon. The delicate potato crisp finishes the bite with a little crunch. Udon picante - bell peppers, quinoa and 2 jumbo shrimp. Love the heat level. Comfort food at its best. Salmon parmesan - Nikkei sushi - seared salmon, parmesan bitter, eel sauce , arare, lime. Amazing. O toro sushi - the fattiest cut of tuna. Eat as is. Again chef prepared. No added seasoning required. Parri maki - fried shrimp, cream cheese, seared tuna topped with chimichurri, aji amarillo, chalaquita, ponzu. Food experience was enhanced by their impeccable taste in music. Super chill, soft beats stream the restaurant. With its perfect lighting too sets all the good moods for us. Don't wait for this fine dining experience of Japanese and Peruvian fusion. Note: when they ask if you want soy sauce, say No, thank you.

We've been here twice now, revisiting a few favorites and trying some new dishes the second time, and everything has been consistently outstanding.
