New and specials menu board
Phil C.

Hiyori is a fantastic local spot for Japanese and Korean cuisine, specializing in lunch and dinner boxes, sashimi, and rolls. I've dined here a couple of times already for lunch, and each time was a delicious and pleasant experience. During a recent visit, I ordered the unagi and rice lunchbox, which came with plenty of extras, including sashimi, mixed tempura, small plates (bachan), salad, and more! It was a very filling, delicious, and worth-the-price meal. I'm looking forward to trying other menu items here. The drink menu includes your standard sodas, as well as beer, soju, and sake. The specials and new menu board also display the latest offers. The staff has been kind and attentive. The dining area is clean and reasonably spacious. Accommodates solo, couples, and small groups nicely. There's some light music playing, which is soft enough for easy conversation. I'll be back!

Hiyori is a Korean-owned Japanese restaurant (I believe) with a clean, small space that always feels homey and welcoming. I love the variety of menu options and the sets they offer, everything looks good and tastes delicious. Service is great as well. Always a pleasant dining experience.

Great place for lunch! Bright & clean ambiance with live seafood tanks in the background. Sashimi Bento Box (4/5) - The sashimi consisted of tuna, halibut, salmon, albacore, seabass? (or some sort of white fish), tamago, and cooked shrimp. Fish was fresh and paired well with their red sweet sauce. This bento box came with a variety of sides and banchan - salad, rice, tempura, oyster, octopus salad, California roll, gyoza, and fried tofu. Soy Marinated Crab Bento Box (4/5) - If you're feeling adventurous, try this! The crabs are raw, and are marinated in a sweet savory soy sauce. You squeeze out the crab meat onto your rice & enjoy. This bento box came with the same sides and banchan as the sashimi bento box - minus the oyster but with a side of sashimi added instead (salmon & tuna). Uni (4/5) - Not the best quality but still delicious & sweet! Get it for a little extra oomph to your meal. They also have a takeout option for the bento boxes, which has a nice presentation! Service was friendly and efficient, even when it was crowded during their lunch rush.

Small space, but the food was great with generous portions. We had the eel bento and baked salmon roll, and both were delicious. The server was also very kind and attentive.

One special thing about this place is their tuna-only set. If you're a tuna lover and nearby, it's worth trying. I just wish the side dishes served with the tuna set had a little more variety. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly.

Hiyori does it again! The sashimi lunch bento was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go back and order it again.

Amazing sushi! Fish tastes fresh. Ambiance is great with 90s kpop music playing in the background. Generous portions. Staff warm and welcoming. Will be back again!

Lunch special

If you want fresh and quality sushi for an affordable price, come visit Hiyori for their lunch special. For around $20 each box, you get some tempura, sushi, sashimi, and much more! They got a live fish tank near the entrance that goes to show how fresh some of the fish are. Service was amazing and the restaurant is very clean. Definitely will come again.

Tuna special for only $78?!
Jake C.

These 1-3 star reviews are hilarious. And I'm glad ppl didn't like their rolls and bento boxes. This spot specifically says Specialty in live fish and tuna. Maybe people should try chef's specials? He has a white board of what they got for specials. I tried their tuna course for $70+ and I'll say that no one in Cypress area is doing what this place is doing. Side dishes weren't the best but still good enough for nice warm up round of drinking. They offer many different kinds of soju (even stronger ones that goes well on the rocks). I get the hate. Sure maybe the service isn't great and maybe this isn't a sushi roll place to go. If you want sushi roll and bento boxes, I recommend Kabuki and fish in the bottle. But if you are really trying to eat sashimi, this spot is definitely the place to be. I just hope the quality doesn't go down! The owner was super kind and allowed us to try different cuts!

Really nice. I haven't been here since they had a grand opening. And the inside changed with more intimate booths. They also have lunch specials which are pretty good price. I got the chirashi bowl and it came with a good amount of fish for the price. Also has side dishes and miso soup. The service is also very fast. I want to come back to try more items on the menu.

This place is insanely delicious. Everything they do is done well. I truly could not recommend it more.

i love the amount of fishroe they give for the lunch special
Bry N.

Yoooooooooooooooo! Ive been coming here ever since I discovered this spot about 2 years ago and still haven't tried all the dishes yet. But so far I have tried the fish roe rice lunch special which I love the most because of all the flavor the fish roe brings when its combined with the rice and they aren't stingy with the amount of fish roe they give like some other korean seafood places. Another thing I like about the lunch special is it comes with a good amount of rice, 3 random sides, small miso soup, tempura and sashimi for $24.99. I typically always order a soft shell crab with that or another appetizer with my meal but typically I can never finish it and still have enough for a 2nd meal. I have also tried the fish roe soup once and its not as spicy as what people say on the reviews and its really wasnt to my liking so Ill stick to the fish roe rice lunch special instead. I also love the sashimi but I wish they just a but thicker for the price were paying, also love that they have some japanese rolls but wish they add more options for the rolls, the service was great and always very friendly and ambiance is your normal small korean restaurant type of vibe. I would definitely come back here as much as I can!

Hiyori is a small Korean styled sashimi restaurant. Small but mighty flavors (and service)! I come here often and love their sashimi combo. It comes with different seafood appetizers, sashimi, fish, soup, salad, and more. The best part is the "Korean dessert" at the end - the scorched rice soup and spicy fish soup to finish the meal. They also have a tuna special that's very very delicious. Yummy!! Recommend!!

This is hands down my favorite Korean restaurant. The quality of the food and the portion sizes are…read moreboth 10/10. The kimchi, kkakdugi (radish kimchi), and gat kimchi are absolutely delicious. I heard that the owner makes everything in-house, and you can really tell how much care and skill go into the food. The staff are also incredibly kind and welcoming every time I visit. Galbitang (Beef Short Rib Soup) - This is honestly the best galbitang I've had in both OC and LA. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the beef is always fresh and tender. Whenever I'm craving galbitang in the OC/LA area, this is the only place I go. Yukgaejang (Spicy Beef Soup) - The amount of ingredients they give you is amazing. I've had it both dining in and as takeout, and it's consistently delicious every single time. It's perfectly seasoned, and has just the right level of spice. As much as I love the galbitang, I think I actually enjoy the yukgaejang even more. Pork Cutlet (Donkatsu) - This place is known for its galbitang and seolleongtang, so I wasn't expecting much from the donkatsu... but why is it this good? The cabbage salad dressing that comes on the side is seriously addictive. The portion size is huge, there's no way I could finish it by myself. It has the crispy texture of Japanese katsu, while still having a great pork flavor of its own. I honestly think this could be considered one of their signature dishes. If you're looking for authentic Korean comfort food with generous portions and warm service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely keep coming back!

I've been to the Buena Park location twice so far, both times during breakfast hours…read more The restaurant itself is actually nice. The interior is clean, newly built, and has a modern Korean hanok-style look. The servers were also friendly both times, so I didn't have any issues with the service or atmosphere. Unfortunately, the main problem for me was the food. I've eaten at the LA location before and never really thought the food tasted bad there, but at this Buena Park location, both visits gave me the impression that the food didn't taste as fresh as it should. On my most recent visit, I ordered the soondae gukbap, and the soondae had an unpleasant off smell and didn't taste very fresh. It almost tasted like it had been sitting for a while. On my first visit, I tried the regular pork gukbap, and the pork flavor was also stronger than I personally prefer. I do tend to like cleaner-tasting gukbap, but this stood out to me because I don't remember having the same issue at the LA location. After the first visit, I thought maybe it was just an off day since the restaurant was still new. But after having a similar impression on my second visit, I'm not sure if this location is consistent yet. The space is nice and the service was good, but for a gukbap restaurant, the food has to be the main reason to come back. Based on my two visits, this location was disappointing for me.

This place is GEM! The perfect place for homestyle Korean food…read more Stir Fried Spicy Chicken (Dak Galbi) is what they're known for. It comes out on burner, so everything is finished cooking at the table, served piping hot. A must try if you love spicy food! It's also cooked with rice cakes, sweet potato, and veggies, so it can be filling. Seafood Pancake (Hae Mool Pa Jun) was light and crispy. The perfect appetizer. Spicy Stir Fried Squid (Oh Jing Bokkum) had a really nice smoky flavor. Something I could never replicate at home. Definitely try if you like seafood! Rice Cake Soup with Beef and Egg (Dduk Guk) was surprisingly very flavorful. I wasn't expecting much since I imagine this to be a simple dish, but the broth had so much depth in flavor. My toddler loved it and he's quite the picky eater! Overall, a great Korean restaurant located in an unexpected area. I believe they do a lot of take out orders but they are worth a try in person if you want the food fresh and hot. They also offer loads of banchan (side dishes) for purchase.

Mhat Korean is a casual low key authentic Korean restaurant in the area…read more I came with one other person on a Saturday and there was no wait and only one lady working. There was one other party in there with us. The service started off a little slow but it was well worth it. The menu includes casserole soups, stir fries, noodle dishes, and other house entrees. If you like seafood, Mhat is known for their mackerel and cod dishes. We wanted to try everything but ended up sharing their Bul Nak Jun Gol which was a bulgogi and octopus casserole soup. It came out in a hot pot with flames. It included marinated meats, udon noodles, veggies, in a sweet and savory soup base. It was served with banchan and rice. The dish listed that it was for 2 people but it can honestly feed up to 4. We had plenty of left overs. The flavors were complicated and delicious. It was perfect for that cold day. The lady working was really nice and helpful. She made sure to check on us and even helped us enjoy our food by cutting out the flame and making sure we were mixing it right. The pricing is super affordable. It was a great first time experience and I can't wait to come back and try their other dishes.
