If you're wanting a Korean-style sushi experience, this is the place. What is Korean-style sushi? It's a coursed meal centered around sashimi platters (very unusual to see nigiri at these restaurants), and dishes made with rest of the fish that became sushi. It's sashimi with a lot of extra accoutrements you'd expect in a Korean restaurant. We started with porridge and miso soup, and lots of banchan, including cheesecorn and steamed egg. Then came the sashimi platter. In Korean sushi houses, you get to have soy sauce AND a gochujang based sauce (it's gochujan and vinegar). They also gave us sesame oil + salt and dried seaweed which I think is for the tuna. Then there was tokoyaki, fried rice cakes, tempura, spicy fish stew, grilled fish, fried salmon skin, fried chicken, and spicy marinated crab. All while getting refills on the banchan. It was exactly what I was wanting, as I have not found anything like it in Seattle! The staff was super friendly, and they had a lot of other items on the menu that I would love to try at some point in the future! Highly recommend! read more

The service was great again as well as our dishes. The tuna rice bowl was fresh and delicious. The toro special was buttery and so good especially wrapped in seaweed and dipped in the salt/sesame oil. We had the steamed egg again and it was fluffy and nice. The sashimi bowl was the best we've had. Definitely read more

Found this place randomly on social media, but it seems like it's not too well-known. The restaurant is very local, like a family owned, quite homey. As we step foot into the place, we know we would get treated like family by the Korean ajumma. They are really nice and informative. They even make sure we don't over-order so we can enjoy the good sutff. We got ourselves a seafood and sashimi combo. Before you think it's very little food, think twice, third time, fourth time. I've never seen a combo that they have to split in two different combos because that's how much food they bring out, for just one combo. Every seafood item is fresh and tasty with no complaint. Other food items in the combo are also very flavorful. The amount of food is ridiculous, not even kidding. Be sure to ask before you order a ton. I highly recommend this place for fresh seafood and a Korean family feast. It's pretty worth a visit! read more

Amazingly fresh sashimi. Service was fast. Our server hooked us up with items we were looking for and kindly checked the back to see if it was still available. She surprised us with uni! Beautifuly presented on top the the urchin shellm. We got the sashimi set for 4 based on her recommendation, there were 5 adults and one 12 yr old. We were glad we did not order more because this set came with so much food. Premium sashimi, delicious banchan and other dishes. We went home with 2 bags of food to go. Anyone who eats here will leave stuffed!!! Ambience is casual. We came here for the San-nakji it was fresh, it was fun to eat. We also tried their marinated crab it was fresh sweet and spicy flavor.. Definitely a must try place for large groups! Highly recommended read more

Kuni is one of those spots that instantly feels like it was made for a good day of drinks and conversation, right from the moment you walk in. The first thing you notice is the atmosphere and the staff. You're immediately greeted with a warm, friendly vibe that sets the tone for the entire experience. It's the kind of place where two friends can sit down, catch up, and easily spend hours just talking, eating, and drinking without ever feeling rushed. The food is solid, and the menu items work perfectly as shared plates for drinks. The portions are very generous and honestly it is hard to finish everything at the table even when you come hungry. What stood out to me most was how the servers manage the balance between attentiveness and privacy. They're always around when you need something, but once the conversation starts and the table settles in, they naturally give you space and respect your moment. That kind of awareness is rare and really appreciated. The seating layout also makes a difference. It's not overly open, which makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a few drinks after a long day. For nights when you finally have a bit of time to unwind with friend, it really hits the spot. Overall, Kuni is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a girls night out. read more

Kuni Sashimi has one of the freshest seafood in the area. The portions are generous and I didn't pace myself well enough. I didn't know the amount we ordered, so I was full midway. The service was excellent. The staff members were very friendly and came to our table to check up on us regularly. read more

Very tasty korean seafood restaurant and located close to Knotts Berry Farm for a nice dinner after a day of fun! Although it's located in a somewhat desolate looking plaza, the interior was decorated like a fun korean pub with lights and decor. The dishes we ordered were also all very good - the oysters and shrimps were very fresh and not fishy at all. I especially enjoyed the raw shrimp marinated in soy sauce. The uni pasta was great as well - the taste was not too creamy, but could use more uni pieces. Unlike other places, there still were uni bits in the pasta, and no extra charge for that. If I have the chance, I would like to come back to try their sashimi sets. They look very fresh and were cut so aesthetically! read more

We came here for lunch. Waitress refuse to put an order through a mini sushi combo because it is too little an order for a Mother's Day.

Ordered: - Fish Egg Bibimbap (4/5): Served in hot bowl. It was very crunchy and creamy thanks to the tsukemono, assorted roe, unagi, and uni. Loved the texture and flavors, but do be aware that the portion size isn't huge. Overall never had bibimbap like this before so big fan. - Tako wasabi (5/5): I am a tako wasabi enthusiast and I can say this place has great bang for buck for the amount of tako wasa you get, and tastes great. Also really appreciate it coming with extra tsukemono and seaweed salad. Overall (4/5): A new establishment which serves quality sashimi. It was pretty quiet at noon on Saturday, but quickly filled up. I was a big fan of the banchan and barley tea that was complimentary with my meal. Service was very welcoming, though was a bit slow once it got busier. Overall I'd be interested in coming back to try out the other seafood bibimbaps. read more

Have you tried Korean Sashimi?! At Kuni in Buena Park, CA, I had my first taste--and WOW, it's more than just sashimi, it's an epic seafood feast! For $140, the set for 2 easily feeds 3. My hubby and I were already full after devouring a massive platter of fresh halibut, salmon, tuna (various cuts!), oysters, and octopus. But that was just the beginning! They served amazing sides like steamed egg, abalone porridge, corn cheese, kimchi, and more. Just as we were ready to wrap it up, the waitress hit us with, "There's a ROUND 2!" Cue "eight more dishes" plus a comforting hot fish spicy stew. It has fun city themed vibes. Overall great time with food and atmosphere. If you're a seafood lover, this spot is a MUST. Kuni in Buena Park, CA--run, don't walk! ‍ Visual Review: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DELofARSFfW/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== read more

A truly authentic Korean-style sashimi restaurant! The live fish is caught and sliced right in front of you, so you can trust the freshness. One of the key features of a Korean sashimi restaurant is the unbelievably generous amount of complimentary side dishes. This place is no exception--they serve tempura, corn cheese, various side dishes, and even a spicy fish stew at the end to complete the meal. The value for money is amazing! If you love seafood, I highly recommend checking it out at least once. read more

These days with so many good food everywhere you go, great service is definitely a plus point. We came during lunch time on a Sunday and we were very pleased with the attention we received the moment we're seated thru the duration of our lunch. There's so many side dishes to enjoy, I personally liked the oysters and the cheese corn a lot. Sashimi is standard, it's about the same everywhere else at other Korean sashimi place. Nabe udon came very hot in a hot stone pot and it's delicious. Ambiance is great with closed partitions on each table so there's privacy there. Definitely abundance of side dishes, very satisfying. read more

I don't think i've ever been so full from sashimi! Kuni sashimi is literally a whole experience. I was genuinely impressed by the quality of the fish. I'm usually not the biggest fan of yellowtail but this one just melted in my mouth. Not a single piece of fish that I didn't enjoy Not only do you get a beautiful plate of SUPER FRESH seafood, the set also comes with over 20 yummy side dishes. There was corn cheese, raw marinated shrimp, oysters, tempura, and so many more!! what i ordered: * assorted sashimi combo- small $139.99 (i think this is enough for like 3 people) read more

I am here at Kuni's waiting for a to-go order. I actually made a mistake thinking i am ordering a mini sashimi plate at 65.00. Instead I ordered a large plate for 249.99. I panicked when I realized the mistake. The lady in the counter was gracious to switch it to a small platter for 149.99. I felt so bad for the chefs. I wish this place will prosper. I came here some time ago and the food was really fresh and delicious. I have become more of a fan since I know that good people work here. Wishing you all and the business prosperity!!! read more

Overall, it was OK. We came in around 5pm. The sashimi did not seem fresh. The fried sweet yam was not fully cooked and was very hardened. There was enough food for all. The Korean spicy sauce on the table was good as it was not too hot and easy on stomach. read more

An absolute gem in Buena Park, Kuni Sashimi House is a Korean classic in the sense that you order a plate of halibut or assorted sashimi, and you get something like a four-course meal. The meal starts with abalone porridge to prepare your stomach and an array of seafood and non-seafood banchan (side dishes). My favorite are the takowasa, cheese corn, and the fluffiest steamed egg. Soon after, the sashimi arrives on a plate of ice with lettuce, garlic, peppers, and sauces (feel free to try making lettuce wraps)! When you're close to done, the second round of banchan comes out. This time there's takoyaki, salmon yubu/inari, scallion pancake, and tempura among others. When you can't eat another fried item, the spicy fish soup arrives with nurungji (scorched rice in hot water). The spicy soup pushes down the grease and the nurungi attempts to heal all the damage that's been done. While it's not a meal I can enjoy (or afford) weekly, I've been a regular at Kuni for the past three years and I'm sure I'll continue to be one. read more

Kuni holds the reputation as the best Hwe Jib (korean style raw fish) in Buena Park. It was packed so reservations are a must. Starters and sides were plentiful. The assorted plate fish was fresh. When we asked whether the San Nakji was fresh, she answered it's alive...but actually the squid did not squirm much and was easy to grab from the dish. You can BYOB with corkage fee for that varies by liquor type. read more

Kuni Sashimi House is one of the best places for fresh sea food in Southern California. The seafood combo comes with almost everything you would want including all the side dishe, appetizers, and even the finale portion like the soup. Its a complete meal here and completely bargain for the price you pay. I've been eating here almost every week and kind of Kuni'd out little bit. Services are always on the point and all the Auntis are on the schedule to keep you completely fed with their multi course meals. Nonetheless one of the best places to get a complete South Korean style fresh seafood in Orange County. read more

Came here on my most recent trip to OC. This was the very first time I've ever had Korean-style sashimi AND it did not disappoint. All of the fish were SUPER fresh and I enjoyed EVERY single bite. The 2-person combo was more than filling which ended up being leftovers for the next day. Service was super wholesome and attentive. Ambiance was also great as well and passed the vibe check. If I lived closer, I'd definitely frequent! read more

Eating here felt like a visit to grandma's house where the dishes just kept on comin'! On the hunt for some quality sashimi, we dropped in on a busy Friday night. Kuni is a local favorite, so you can definitely expect a lengthy wait on peak hours/days. We ordered the small Assorted Sashimi Plate. On their menu, it states that a small serves 2 people, but my oh my this was more than enough food for our group of 4. The sashimi was absolutely glorious. Amazing fish quality and variety! My personal favorites were the yellow tail and the octopus. Along with this stellar plate of goodies, we were also served a seemingly endless supply of side dishes. Just when we thought everything had come out, another round would surface. Everything from poke tacos to takoyaki to pork cutlet and spicy fish stew. We all left completely satisfied with a full bellies. read more

Honestly, I should have checked their Yelp reviews before ordering! We ended up rolling out the restaurant with full of to-go boxes since the food is too much! I didn't realize that if you order the sashimi plate, they will give out bunch of banchan together with it... The Uni Bowl is so cheap comparing to other restaurants but the quality is surprisingly very fresh and flavorful! Tips, you should order soju or beer together with these dishes since it will get salty at the end! read more

Came here on Monday for lunch. The food was amazing. There were 5 of us but we ordered the medium assorted sashimi combo that supposedly feeds 3 people but there was so much food that the 5 of us couldn't finish everything. We first started off with some miso soup, salad, and banchan like cucumber kimchi, salad, cold kimchi soup, cooked spinach, etc. Then the huge sashimi platter came and everything was so fresh and delicious. My favorite was the fatty tuna but I enjoyed every single piece of fish on the platter. After that came the cooked sides like seafood soup, potato pancake, stir fried kimchi, tempura, grilled fish, fish roe bibimbap, raw marinated crab and others. Overall it was a really great meal. I would definitely love to come back here again. The service is really great too, the Korean lady that was our server was super nice and answered a lot of our questions. read more

First time here because I saw a reel from my Foodie friends, James & Mark. The SMALL platter of sashimi was $139 but came with everything shown, except for the Abalone sashimi, which was an extra $30, but I wanted to try it cuz you don't see it offered often. Their attention to detail is above par (see the lemon slice) and presentation is on point. They serve every kind of appropriate dipping sauce with the side dishes. There is WAY too much food though and I'm not complaining about the price AT ALL. You definitely get your money's worth because there are AT LEAST 20 dishes that are MORE than the normal Korean banchan. For example, tempura and fresh raw oysters are not banchans IMO. There were two of us and the amount of food could have easily served 4-5. We even had a huge "to go" box. "Some" of the added food you get: oysters, live octopus, seaweed salad, fruit salad, kim chi, jalapenos/garlic/miso, tempura, chicken tonkatsu, baked sanma, fish cakes, fish soup, potato pancakes, takoyaki, fish tacos, corn cheese, steamed egg, rice porridge, ochazuke, CA roll... My first time for corn cheese, so I was super excited about that. It was DELICIOUS! Let it be known, that your table will be filled with plates 2-3 times, so PACE YOURSELF!!! They don't serve a bowl of rice with the sashimi, but you can ask for it. I didn't eat ANY rice at all, but my husband did. (he's from Japan) The service is great, the ladies are super friendly and pleasant, but after all your food is served, they don't come around too often, but NOTICE that there is a buzzer on your table. I think they just try to let you eat in peace. Some tables have curtains and bamboo partitions, not like the COVID partitions, but very tastefully done, so you can have privacy, if you like. Order the small and take a lot of friends! read more

yooooooooooooooooo! You got to bring someone who can speak/read korean to understand the menu. The service was amazing the server tried her best to explain the menu and she basically suggested the $189 Medium sized assorted sashimi combo which included everything in my video "mixed tempura, 1 x raw abalone, 3 x cooked garlic cheesy w/ ponzu oysters, 1x steamed egg, 1 x cheesy corn, 1 x super long fried fish, seaweed salad, 1 cup rice with combined w/ different fish roe aka raw fish bibimbop, miso soup, 3 x tako yaki, 3 x kimchi , large fish bone soup, raw halibut, raw yellowtail, raw salmon, raw tuna, 3 x uni, octopus, salmon skin salad, cold kimchi soup, raw crab legs, raw marinated small korean spicy crab, 3 steamed large shrimp head on, rice porridge and more dishes in video" Sapporo wasn't included in the $189 price. They first bring out all the raw items and they wait for you to finish it then bring all the cooked items next. The $189 medium size combo is good for 3 - 4 people, but some dishes only have 3 pieces for like the uni and oysters. Ambiance of the place gives like a japanese / korean bar vibe, restaurant restroom was clean too. If you really love raw food and live seafood this definitely has to be on your map of food places to try. read more

This was my first time trying Korean sashimi, and unfortunately, the experience fell flat. We decided to try this restaurant after seeing all the great reviews. Seeing all the Koreans dining here also gave us a good sign. However, the majority of food was just ok. We ordered the halibut and baby flounder combo, which came with a huge platter of raw fish. The presentation was very nice, but the fish quality itself tasted just ok. We've had better quality sashimi at other sushi restaurants. The combination set also included abalone porridge, raw oysters, and a variety of other banchan / side dishes. This was probably the biggest downfall of the combination set. Even though there were probably around 7-10 side dishes, most of them were very mediocre. I personally don't need corn cheese or cold fried fish tacos with my meal. I would rather spend less money and forego some of the unnecessary side dishes. read more
