    Such a great experience at Niko Sushi Chefs in La Habra! The chefs were so welcoming and even gave us a free appetizer for our first visit. They went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and even stopped by to chat with us. The secret menu was AMAZING the Salvador Roll and Jalisco Special Roll were so bomb. We also loved the bluefin and salmon sushi. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend, we'll definitely be back!

    Chirashi Bowl

    Came to Niko Sushi and left very impressed. Started with the chirashi bowl, which came out beautifully presented in a boat -- a fun touch that didn't feel gimmicky. The fish was very fresh and the portion was generous, making it both visually appealing and satisfying. We also ordered the 2-item bento combo with pork katsu and chicken teriyaki, and the portions were large. The chicken was nicely grilled and juicy, while the pork katsu was crispy and well-fried without being greasy. All the sauces were on point and really tied everything together. To round it out, we tried the shrimp tempura, which was lightly battered, crisp, and not overly oily -- exactly how tempura should be. Overall, excellent sushi restaurant with fresh fish, solid portions, and well-executed dishes across the board. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

    Last night, my son graduated and we went to Niko sushi chefs after graduation. We ordered the Nico boat and it was delicious. Plenty of food for 5 people. they even did a special request and changed one of the items on the menu for something else that my son wanted service was great as well.

    Best service, and the kindest chefs! Thank you chef Li, Salvador, and Cesar for giving us a welcoming experience here in Whittier. The food was delish and they even gave us some on the house. Love it, will come back

    Spicy Edamame

    I was doomscrolling on TikTok one day and came across a video of this place. I decided to check it out since it was only 8 miles away. The location is in a strip mall with lots of parking. We went on a Saturday around 1 pm. There was already a nice crowd but there was still plenty of seating open. We decided to sit at the bar. I'm so glad we did! The entire staff is friendly and down to earth including the chefs. We were able to interact with all three of them and learned so much about their start a few months ago. We ordered from the main and "secret" menu. We started with the spicy edamame. For us this is a must when going to sushi spots. But theirs?! OH EM GEEEE! The large serving is enough for about 4/5 people and comes with a lemon wedge. As a Mexicana, when I first tasted them I thought they had Tajín on them haha but the chef said it wasn't Tajín. Well, whatever it was it's a bit of sweet and spicy and a lot of yummy goodness! We ordered five different rolls. At any other place they'd bring them all out on individual plates. Not this place! They brought them out on the coolest dragon plate! The plating was beautiful and fun. We weren't even celebrating anything. That's just how they roll! The rolls were all flavorful and generous in size. Our favorite was the Jalisco Roll. My son and I both agreed we'd come back.

    The presentation is for chefs kiss

    Our new go-to sushi spot and we couldn't be happier! My husband and I have been on a mission to find a great sushi place near home, and we finally found it right here in La Habra. This place completely exceeded our expectations not just for the food, but for the entire experience. The sushi was absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and everything you hope for when you're craving a really good roll. But what made this visit truly special was the warmth of the place itself. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who shared a bit of his story with us the dedication and heart that went into building this restaurant is something you can genuinely feel the moment you walk in. What really stood out was watching how they treated every single customer that came through the door. It got busy, and they welcomed everyone like family not just us. That kind of hospitality is rare and it says everything about the culture they've created here. We are so glad we stumbled upon this gem. If you're looking for great sushi and an even better vibe, do yourself a favor and come check this place out. You won't regret it!

    Incredible experience! Vanessa was such an attentive server and chef Cesar was amazing! It was our first time here but they made us feel more than just regulars, they made us feel like family. The tempura salmon appetizer was delicious and all the rolls and food we ordered was great! We also got a treat for my birthday! Just the best experience. We are definitely coming back!!

    This place easily earns a full five stars. From the moment the food hit the table, the quality was incredibly fresh fish, perfect rice texture, and clean, balanced flavors that didn't need heavy sauces to impress. Every piece tasted intentional, not just assembled. If you enjoy sushi that focuses on freshness & craftsmanship rather than hiding behind toppings, this spot is worth going out of your way for. I'd come back without hesitation.

    I love Niko! I've been going here for YEARSSS. when they originally moved, the community was happy and moved with them. Once they shut down, everyone was sooo sad and i missed their sushi so much. When they announced this new location I was sooo excited since it's closer to my house. The chefs and staff here is always super sweet and welcoming so all! They're very active on instagram with the community as well. We finally got to stop by today and see the new location and try some food. Honestly I think the portion size and quality of their food is sooo much better. The chefs are just as sweet and greet you as you walk in. This location, I feel, is much better for them. We came on a Monday around 3:30 and there was a few people already here so I feel like lunch time is perfect to stop by! I've been seeing and hearing this place has been getting PACKED. Overall, I love this place and was extremely excited for them. 10/10 sushi and environment!! Stop by when you can and I promise you won't be let down. Good luck and best wishes Niko Sushi!!

    Everything was amazing, fresh and tasty! Service was great too. Will be coming back.

    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.

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.

It feels much larger than it appears, and the layout is really well done. I also liked how the restaurant manages to feel open while still giving each table a sense of privacy. Even with other diners around, it never felt crowded or too exposed, which made the whole experience more comfortable. The lighting is on the dimmer side, and I actually appreciated that. It creates a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy your meal and conversation without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The staff is also easy to get ahold of whenever you need something, which made the service feel attentive without being intrusive. As for the food, this is where Arigatto really stands out. A lot of AYCE sushi places focus more on quantity and consistency across the menu, but here it feels like the chefs genuinely care about the details. The presentation, the balance of flavors, and the way each item is prepared all show a level of attention that you don't always find at an "all you can eat" spot. If you come during peak hours, you may wait a little longer for some dishes to arrive, but honestly, it never bothered me. Once the food hits the table, the quality and care that went into it make the wait feel completely worth it. For an AYCE sushi restaurant, Arigatto delivers an experience that feels a little more thoughtful and elevated than most, and that's what keeps this place very impressive.

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.

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!!!

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.
