She's always so kind and caring and communicates and builds a great rapport with me as a customer. She's the best! The food here is so amazing.

My coworkers love this place, they come at lunch for the 2 bowls for $25, which is a great deal!…read moreToday there were 4 of us, so we did two of those deals, you can get chicken or shrimp, it comes with loads of fried rice, a small portion of sautéed veggies, and it also comes with one drink, but the cashier gave us water cups for the other members of our party. We were told to choose one sauce to go with our meals. I went with a shrimp bowl and ginger sauce. We sat down and were chit chatting. The cashier brought our sauces and forks. Then we waited and waited and soon it had been over 30 minutes with no food in sight. We decided we couldn't dine in and would be eating hibachi at our desks. I told the cashier to pack our food to go cause we had to get back to the office. She was VERY apologetic and said they had new cooks who were slow. When she brought the food to our table, she again apologized, said she really wanted us to come back, and said Tuesday and Wednesday are their busiest days. She recommended we come on a Monday so we would have more time to dine in. To compensate she gave us a bag filled with at least 20 sauces, multiples of each sauce on the menu. Made it back to work with 5 minutes to spare! I slowly grazed on my food as I worked. Had I been starving, I could have finished the bowl, but I ended up having about 1/4 left, breakfast for tomorrow! The food was really good, on par with any sit down hibachi restaurant. I tried the ginger sauce, teriyaki sauce, and garlic butter, all of them were really tasty. The shrimp bowl on it's own is $23, which I think is too much. But I would definitely go back for the 2 for $25 deal, I think that's worth it. Glad my coworkers brought me here, i'm looking forward to having it for lunch again!

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.

Now my 2nd time trying this new sushi joint for dinner. Got…read moresimilar 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.

No more ramen in Yorba Linda anymore! I'm shocked and saddened!…read moreMy family been going there since opening, today we went there for dinner and no OPEN sign was on.

Our server wasn't very personable but also not rude or terrible. I felt a little rushed even with a small menu. Being that I had never been there before, I wasn't sure what to get so I pretty much just blurted out whatever. What we ordered: 1) Black deluxe chicken paitan with pork - the broth was so tasty, it was absolutely delicious. The pork slices were generous, however, it was DRY. 2) Pork chashu - for my kid. They loved the broth as well and also felt that the pork slices were dry. I wanted to give 4 out of 5 stars, but I am going to hand them a 3. I loved the tasty broth, but the pork was too dry. How could you mess that up as a ramen restaurant? The portions looked a little smaller than what I am used to paying for much less money. That photo of my black deluxe chicken paitan with pork is very deceiving. It looks like a lot, but it definitely wasn't. I usually can't finish my bowl of ramen in one sitting and take the other half home. I barely had any broth in there, and being that the broth was very good, I was disappointed to run out of it before I was even done with the noodles and meat. Would I return? Sure. I liked the food. It's not a place I would go out of my way to eat at, but if I was around the neighborhood and wanted ramen, I would dine there again.

My magic number is 4 rolls to get me full. Service is great, Andrew helped us on our last visit. Very attentive and kind. I appreciate that they pay attention to when you finish your current roll before they make your next one. They're fairly quick and timely. There's also a to-go option if you don't want to wait for the bar. Ambience is clean and efficient. They have limited seating so come early if you can. If you come towards the end of the day, you might not get seated. We came at 6:30 the other day and waited about 30 minutes. It was an easy wait since my bf and I got our grocery shopping done, since Hand Roll Factory is inside of Tokyo Central.

But I went there due to convenience of grocery shopping and stopping by hand roll (especially since it's located inside the market). Basically I could purchased the sushi from the market and plated it myself to service. I would had same quality of sushi. I would save on the mark up and tips. I can honestly say, i would most likely not return.

My first visit to Chubby Sushi felt like coming home…read more As a party of one, I was welcomed in and given a seat right at the chef's table, where I got to watch all the artistry and hard work that goes into every dish. 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.

The spicy tuna crispy rice is good but I think it would be better fresh at the establishment because it got a little soggy, which can be expected when ordering takeout. I had a cali roll with salmon on top. The fish was amazing, very fresh and the lemon on top really set everything over the edge. The spicy tuna crispy rice was good, a little soggy but I believe that is due to it being a takeout order. It did taste a little too oily for my liking though. As for the pricing... This place is a little more expensive than what I usually am willing to spend for good sushi. The takeout packaging is very nice, not your typical cheap to go containers. I enjoyed this food and would definitely try it again (maybe at the actual establishment next time) but would recommend if you are in the area!

I came with a large-ish sized group so I was able to try a little bit of everything, and honestly it was all pretty good. If I were to come back I would definitely order the Beef Udon again as well as some of the meat skewers including the meatball and the steak with ponzu. // Restaurant: Our servers were attentive and quick with refills. They did miss one of the menu items that we ordered, but they quickly got the order in and the food came out nice and hot. Inside they have traditional Japanese seating (shorter tables, you sit on the ground) as well as tables that can accommodate large and small groups alike. // Notes: Prices are about what you would pay at other izakaya's. From the outside it definitely does not look like much, and the area is kind of sketch but it is def worth a visit!
