    Sushi platter! 10/10!!!
    Edward K.

    I love this place! We ordered the sushi platter and also decided to add some Toro to the mix! It did not disappoint. It was super fresh, just melts in your mouth 10/10! The chef (owner) here knows his craft, the sushi always comes out beautifully. The team here always provides amazing, friendly, and attentive service! Ordered this to celebrate early Mother's Day, and the owners were very accommodating and patient with me when I was placing the order. We loved every single piece of sushi! Great place, awesome owners, delicious sushi.

    This is one of those places that should be gatekept but I won't do that. Don't let the name fool you but this is a quality sushi place that can only seat about 20 people at a time. I've not (but will be back) to try many more items here but everything we had was fresh and made with a lot of details to attention. And, You can get real wasabi (add $3 a portion and worth it). They even have a 12-course omakase meal for $75 per person but you need to order it at least 24-hours in advance. Check out my pics.

    Love this place!! Rolls are fresh and delicious! The staff is great, and the vibe is like a welcoming family. Also can't beat the prices! Always come here when I'm close by!

    I understand the 5-star reviews- this place is solid. I was satisfied with everything we ordered. Every roll was fresh and flavorful and delicious. The servers were very friendly and accommodating, even when we stayed to chat for a while. They even brought us a complimentary yellowtail sashimi, which was sooooo good. It's definitely small inside, but we didn't have to wait for too long on a sunday afternoon for a party of 4. I'm not sure if you'd be able to sit with more than 4 in there though. Super glad we came! I'd definitely come back. It feels like a hidden gem of La Habra. Quality sushi spot for a nice date or meal out with a few friends.

    Most wonderful sushi place I have been to for awhile wonderful inside aesthetic and presentation to the dishes is magical. 10/10 would go again, the staff there treat you very well. service has never been better. Desert is amazing I recommend the green tea ice cream and for a drink definitely go with their hot green tea I have never had better tea in my life. Try it out hope you have just as much of a good time I did ;)

    Fresh wasabi!!!!

    Must try: Fresh wasabi Blue crab roll Jalajala roll (esp if you're a jalapeño poppers person) Chicken karaage And of course if you have a chance to sit for dinner and call in ahead of time: omakase

    Sushi is one of my favorite foods, and with my birthday coming up, I decided it was finally time to enjoy a cake I'd actually be excited about since I'm not much of a sweet tooth. I searched for a while for a sushi cake and found nothing in my area. Then I came across Hamachi Sushi Express, saw their beautiful sushi cakes, and was immediately sold. I called almost a month in advance to preorder. I was willing to make a 4-hour trip to pick up the cake! I even brought an ice chest and everything lol. When I got to the restaurant, I was greeted warmly. The staff were kind from beginning to end. The sushi cake was absolutely perfect. It had toro, salmon belly, mango slices, cucumber, salmon, and tuna on the outside, with some pieces of salmon cut roll for decor. On the inside there was avocado, spicy tuna, crab, and rice. The fish was fresh and melted in my mouth. It was worth the drive. I enjoyed every bite and can finally cross sushi cake off my bucket list. :D

    La Habra roll
    Adan M.

    Came here based on the reviews since my normal poke spot was closed already. This place did not disappoint!! The poke bowl was simple but extremely delicious. I ordered mine with white rice, salmon, tuna, crabmeat, red onion, cucumber salad, cilantro, jalapeños. The fish quality was top tier. The sauces they put in it, I'm thinking from the cucumber salad was absolutely savory. The La Habra Roll was very good as well. Big salmon pieces on basically a crunch roll. The service was nice and quick. Overall I had a great time experience taking this food home and I'm looking forward to adding this to my rotation!

    5/5, vegan review included:…read more Vegans & vegetarians this one is for you!! I was shocked to discover Hanamaru served both meat eaters and the plant based crew, and could not believe my eyes when I saw they had a vegan menu on Yelp, but call me astounded when I realized that it was several PAGES long. It reminded me a little of Huntington Ramen in Fullerton, and the similarities make sense since they are sister restaurants, as noted by previous Yelpers. We visited on a Saturday night to celebrate some birthdays, and realized that they had a pretty full crowd. We waited a little to be seated, but afterwards, service was both kind and attentive. I struggled to make up my mind on what to order, because everything on the vegan menu had pictures and looked absolutely phenomenal. I wound up just asking for a recommendation for the most popular roll, and landed on the vegan volcano roll, while my friend ordered the non-vegan volcano roll. We also ordered several small plates: baked mussels for my friend, and vegan inari bomb and vegan tofu karaage for us to share. While we waited, the server brought out two crispy rice--one vegan and one not vegan for us on the house. They were simply delicious, and I will need to order that the next time I'm dining here. Everything we ordered came quickly, and tasted as good as the pictures. My friend tried one of my vegan rolls, and she said it was just as good as her non vegan rolls. They're super flavorful but manage to taste very clean and light, perhaps from the cucumbers. She might just order from the vegan menu next time too! Of the small plates, I liked the tofu karaage more, but only because the flavors on the inari bomb resembled that of the rolls I ordered. I've been to many vegan sushi places over the years, and this is one of my favorite spots, despite it being catered to both meat eaters and vegans alike. After we finished, they also served us one vegan and nonvegan ice cream on the house. While we didn't tell them we were celebrating birthdays, their extremely kind service made us feel exceptionally well taken care of. It was ~$70 after tip and I tipped higher for the great service we received, so pre-tip prices are not unreasonable. This will definitely be my go to spot for whenever I'm craving vegan sushi.

    We've visited twice and trued their Essentials and Signature AYCE menus. The restaurant is easy to…read morefind with ample parking and opens at 5pm. First Visit (Thursday - Essentials AYCE): We came with friends and tried a wide range of appetizers, ramen (good), and sushi, including all the limited premium selections. The shrimp tempura and dipping was very bland, and the soft-shell crab lacked crunch, but the salmon & yellowtail collars were excellent. Fish was fresh. All items were generously portioned and their generous cuts of fish was impressive. We also liked the grab-and-go drinks and desserts (though no Coke Zero). The restaurant filled up quickly after 6pm, so arriving early helped. Service by Sue was friendly and attentive. Second Visit (Friday - Signature AYCE): The Signature upgrade includes an omakase starter, unlimited bluefin tuna, plus everything on the Essentials menu. The unlimited bluefin tuna was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and worth the $15 upgrade. We mainly focused on sushi this time - blue fin, yellow tail, limited premium (scallops were amazing) items, avocado cut rolls, and carpaccios. The shrimp tempura was bland again (strike two) but the shishito peppers were a nice surprise. Finishing with Coke Zero (yay!) and ice cream was perfect. Chelsea, our waitress, was very attentive and engaging. Overall: Fresh fish, generous cuts and portions, and the Signature AYCE upgrade make this spot a gem. They also offer fresh-frozen wasabi which is a plus for me. Not everything hits the mark (tempura!), but the variety, attentive service, and value keep us coming back. Glad to have found a local Japanese restaurant with AYCE options nearby.

One thing that stood out was how quickly the courses came out -- almost too quickly at times. It felt a little rushed and didn't really give enough time to fully enjoy or appreciate each piece before the next one arrived. At one point, we had 4-5 different things in front of us to eat. As for the sushi itself, some pieces were solid while others felt a bit average and not especially memorable. That said, for around a $100 omakase, I think the experience and quality were fair for the price point. You probably shouldn't expect ultra high-end, top-tier omakase quality at that range, but overall it was still enjoyable and worth trying at least once.

It turned what could have been a simple dinner into a memorable experience from the moment I sat down. I ordered the sashimi plate, and it was absolutely outstanding--fresh, beautifully prepared, and surprisingly well-priced for the quality. What impressed me most was the honesty of the staff. I was considering ordering a larger portion, but they actually talked me out of it because they knew I wouldn't finish it. They were right. That small gesture showed me they cared more about giving me a great experience than squeezing a few extra dollars out of my wallet. That kind of customer service is rare these days. What makes this experience even more memorable is that I had just come from X Fish Izakaya, where I spent nearly an hour waiting to be seated while watching people who arrived after me get seated first. I left feeling frustrated and completely overlooked. Walking into Chubby Sushi was the exact opposite experience. Here, I felt welcomed, appreciated, and genuinely taken care of from the moment I walked through the door. As if the food and service weren't enough, on my way out I met a well-known food reviewer and even got the chance to hold a giant tuna head that Chubby Sushi had on display for a photo. It was one of those unexpected moments that made an already great night unforgettable. Sometimes a bad experience leads you exactly where you're supposed to be. I'm genuinely glad X Fish Izakaya dropped the ball because it led me to discover Chubby Sushi. This wasn't just a great meal--it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time and one I'll remember for years to come. I'll definitely be back. Chubby Sushi didn't just earn my business--they earned a customer for life.

This had to be a special occasion to make the drive. Aaaand yes! It was still worth the drive. Still looked the way i remembered. Service was great as well. Christine was our waitress. She was attentive and sweet. Despite that my lobster tail took a while to come out ( and if it wasn't for Christine being so helpful and nice I'm sure this would be a totally different review) Everything was so delicious. Started off with the spicy edamame which I could literally drink the sauce they make them in. We also had the crab hand rolls. Those were so warm and tasty! Followed by the yummy rolls. Queen roll with the strawberry on top was my fav! Azabu crunchy roll had a perfect crunch and gives you a mouthful of deliciousness (2nd fav) Then the rock n roll rocked our world! That was a party in my mouth with all the flavors. (3rd fav) We got the keto roll and the only reason it was my least favorite is because we felt the cucumber overpowered the sushi and mango. Both me and my husband ate just what was in the inside of the cucumber it was way better. We didn't eat the cucumber. When the lobster finally came luckily it was worth the wait!!! I highly recommend the lobster tail! Full of flavor! The butter my flavoring was mouth watering. Truly enjoyed every bite! Last but not least our dessert. I ordered the chocolate cake roll! Wow!!! It truly hit the spot. Christine also brought a berry ice cream for the long wait of my lobster tail. It was so good! I thought I was full but it was so good I kept on eating it.

The flavors were fresh, vibrant, and well balanced, with the avocado adding a nice creamy contrast to the spice. The presentation of the ceviche was especially well done and made the dish even more enjoyable. I paired my meal with a glass of Strev Moscato, while my husband enjoyed a 22 oz bottle of Asahi. The atmosphere was welcoming and made for a nice anniversary dinner. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful, and the overall vibe was perfect for a date night.
