    Tuna donburi
    Tricia N.

    Still definitely my go-to spot for handrolls and donburi bowls during my work lunch break. A bit sad that they no longer have the tuna donburi bowl so I opted for the Chirashi bowl, which is as delicious! Good amount of fish and it's pretty fresh too, definitely good quality sashimi. On top of that, the staff are really nice and friendly. They really try their best to give customers a good experience dining here. Definitely great customer service from the host/servers to the sushi chefs every single time I eat here. Shoutout to Tim and Will for taking care of me during my lunch!! Keep up the great work guys! :) I will be back soon.

    Went to dinner last night with a friend & randomly found this on Yelp looking for a meet up location. Super easy to make a resy through Yelp so love that! It's near the tempo kitchen where I use to go often but haven't been there in a min! Parking was easy to find, usually this parking lot is busy/ crowded. But the time I went was a good time! Stepped inside & it was alot smaller inside then I thought! It was definitely busy, people know about this place cause the place was definitely poppin! Checked in with Rocky the hostess/ server. She was the sweetest! We all shared laughs & she has the best recommendations for us throughout the night! She was very cheerful & pleasant to be around, great customer service! We sat at the bar to get the full experience! We ordered the set of 5 rolls & you got to pick which rolls you would like which was great cause usually it's a pre set menu when I've gone to another handroll spot, you couldn't change out any of the items or pick which rolls! So loved that! It came with a miso soup, which was okay, I've had better. The rolls were what we came for! Got the blue fin tuna crunch roll which was an amazing start! After that I decided I wanted to add in the crunch to the two that didn't have them which rocky made possible by telling the chef! Chef Alex was also great! He was super nice & very accommodating to our changes & our love for the crunch ahahah the rolls were delicious! Dipped in the truffle soy sauce they were all so yummy, I did get a spicy yellowtail crunch which was so good! Salmon crunch, & more of the tuna options. The size portions were great too! They didn't skimp on the fillings & they got us pretty full quickly! So ended up packing up the 2 I have left, to have for lunch today! & I will say they were still good the next day (: Would definitely come back again (:

    Second time here and just as great as the first! Will and Tim are very hospitable. Vincent and the other chef behind the counter were amazing and efficient. Love the hand rolls here! Does a third time here make me a regular?

    This is one of our go to spots we love going to for dinner dates or to bring friends to! They all love it - the fish is so fresh and love all the sauces. It's also reasonably priced, go with the set! Comes with a sauce and a miso soup. Yummmm. Also shoutout to Tim for wonderful service today! Friendly and informative. I wish I knew earlier there was rewards, just found out today! I would've been racking up free rolls considering how much we go here! lol

    Good quality fish and they serve the handroll nori while still crisp. They have a set menu with 3 or 5 rolls that comes with miso soup and sauce. Just to let you know if you order those the portion will be smaller than the regular hand rolls. One thing I need to point out, the suntory beer shouldn't be like this. I understand many Americans prefer beer without the top, but suntory gotta have its foam.

    Spicy Bay Scallop HR

    Came in for their Lunch November special. They're offering 5 hand rolls for $21 or 3 hand rolls for $15. It comes with a green tea, miso soup, edamame, and a choice of sauce! You get to choose your own hand rolls! I got the salmon, spicy salmon, spicy scallop, crunchy tuna, and BF tuna hand rolls. Their special is a good deal and very worth it. The rolls are fresh and really good and definitely worth trying. Miso soup is flavorful and served at the perfect temperature. I didn't get my spicy salmon, but they gave me a regular bay scallop instead. The bay scallop is really good! The service is efficient and all the sides came out in a timely manner. We were seating right away at the bar seating when we came in around 2 pm. The ambiance is clean and modern. The art work on the walls are nice. If they keep this deal around, I'll definitely be coming back more often!

    we came on a Saturday and it wasn't really busy. Limited bar seating & few tables. Bar seating is better so the chef can hand ur rolls to you directly. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. We all ordered the 5 pc hand roll each. It's deceptively filling so watch out... i got scallops, tuna, salmon, unagi, and yellowtail. All of them were so good! My favorite being the yellowtail and tuna. You get to choose one sauce and I chose the yuzu one which was refreshing and a nice citrusy bite. I'd try their other shoyu or ponzu options if you want something that pairs well with all the hand rolls you choose. Slightly more expensive than expected but good quality food. My friend said the ice cream here is very good, so I'd love to try that next time.

    Came here on a friend date with a friend i meet online. I thought handrolls would be a solid choice to talk and eat lol I've actually been eyeing this spot for a minute but every time I'm in Brea it's either early af or late at no in between; so i was excited to actually try it out. I'm a huge handroll fan as of probably last year lol and i love skewers so much but it's hard to find places that don't make them trash ass he'll. We got a spicy scallop roll, spicy tuna, California crunch,premium scallop and a toro one ! We also got crispy tuna rice (a must if it's on the menu), cucumber salad (another must), and then for skewers we got the wagyu, bacon wrapped enoki mushroom and beef tongue. The rolls were all good, i have to say the premium scallop one was the best one. It was so buttery and not overwhelming at all. The Wagyu was rich and not super fatty like some skewers I've had and the beef tongue was good with the lime, salt and pepper. I will say it was a little more tough but i find that's just how thicker cut beef tongue is. They have tablets for you to order but ours wasn't working so the server took the orders, i think it was a normal wait time for food. Not overly slow or fast. We sat at the bar so they just handed us our HR as they were making them. The location is a bit small so i can see there being long waits if you're not an early crew like my friend and i were. The music is also a little loud, but we were right under the speaker so that might be why. Overall i had a great time, food was good and definitely a come back spot for me as someone who lives in Ontario area lol next time im bringing the hubs!

    Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice (4 pcs)
    Emma P.

    this quaint little handroll bar in brea is unassuming from outside but has a small, sleek interior and delicious food! there is plenty of free parking and plenty of other shops around if you want to hangout afterward. Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice this plate came with 4 pieces of spicy tuna crispy rice at a decent size (maybe 1-2 bites per piece). the ratio of tuna and crispy rice was balanced well and the flavors and textures were great compliments to each other! 5 Handrolls Lunch Special i loved that they had this lunch special! check the times and days because it's only at a certain time, but this set that i ordered included 1 drink, a miso soup and edamame, and 5 handrolls of your choosing from their regular handroll menu. i thought it was a great deal and each part was so delicious. i definitely want to return!

    We were craving handrolls and didn't want to drive all the way to Irvine but came across this place closer to our home and I'm so glad we did because their 5 set menu was exactly what I was craving, along with their spicy tuna crispy rice and it came with a sauce of choice and miso soup as well. I ordered a peach coke which is super unique!!! And then ended with a Hokkaido soft serve ice cream that was so delicious. The service was nice too, all the employees had friendly demeanors. There's bar seating and table seating available and the inside is bright and nicely decorated

    Found this gem right across the Brea Mall with plenty of parking. Do make reservations and enjoy your time here. Our waitress was helpful and the food is amazing! Fresh ingredients and out of this world flavors! Will be back!

    Cucumber Sunomono Salad
    Margarita W.

    This place is amazing! We had to wait half an hour to be seated since the place is pretty small. They have a few tables and bar seating. But it was worth the wait. The sushi is so good and the seaweed wrap was crispy. If you like good quality fish, definitely check this place out. They even have some vegan and vegetarian hand rolls. For dessert we got the tempura Oreo cookies, that were a big hit, especially with the kids. It also came with Hokkaido ice cream that's made with real ingredients from Hokkaido, Japan. Everyone in our party loved the food and the service, so we will definitely be back!

    Came here and ordered the 5 hand roll set with BF tuna, spicy BF tuna, yellowtail, spicy yellowtail, and scallop, plus the chicken thigh kushiyaki, okra kushiyaki, and the premium uni hand roll. Overall, everything was fresh and satisfying. The premium uni hand roll was really tasty, but at $30 a piece, not sure it's worth it. The other rolls were good, but nothing too mind-blowing. The chicken thigh kushiyaki was a bit salty, but would probably be perfect with a beer. The okra kushiyaki was solid too. Staff were friendly, and the spot has a nice casual vibe. A solid place for hand rolls and kushiyaki if you're in the area.

    Is everything raw? Any cooked food for kids?

    Not everything is raw, they have tempura and unagi. But if your kid is like mine and eats noodles or chicken when we go to Japanese places then you will have trouble finding options. The only thing my kid will eat off the menu is the cucumber roll.

I'm a pork rib guy not a brisket guy unless you're coming in at 3 AM to start it, so for me their pork ribs are not only tasty and tender, but I love the sauce. Damn, I can eat these without the sauce. I went to that Long Beach barbecue festival last year, and there were a couple places that had some really really really tasty barbecue, but they are super far away from me. This place isnt close to me, but it's worth the drive. Bout the only place I think that's better than this that I've experienced is Earls in Carson. And man they got the sides, along with the desserts and the barbecue is beyond point. I get maybe the criticism about the sides or whatever but you know what, I go to a barbecue place, it's not so much about the sides. It's really about the barbecue. I can make mac & cheese. I can make coleslaw. I can buy it other places where I know it's done better so again still the best barbecue I've had in OC, sides notwithstanding. Really can't tell you much about the rest of the menu, I don't eat chicken anymore, but every time I've taken somebody to this place or gotten barbecue from this place, other people seem to like it too.

I ordered 2-2 Meat Combos at $46.99 each. I adjusted the number of ribs in the order for a full rack on each order, which was an $14.99 per order. We also ordered the brisket in both combos. We had 7 people in our party and the amount of food was just right, with a few ribs to take home. The sides that we ordered were: Mac and Cheese, Brisket Beans, Chuckwagon Chili, and Salt Potatoes. We also ordered 3 cornbread muffins on the side to share. The brisket is a 10/10!!! So tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned! The ribs were also delicious but a tad spicy for me. The meats were so good just with the rub! All the sides were yummy but the standouts were the corn bread muffin with the maple butter! Kevin was our waiter-attentive, fast and funny! I love that Ruby Red's BBQ was so understanding about our family's nut and seafood allergies!! When I made the reservation online, they had a list of about 20 allergens that I could let them be aware of! Kudos to them for being so careful!!

My wife and I shared the 2 meat plate and added the beef rib bone and a happy hour portion of the brisket fries. I eat a lot and we had a lot left over! The ribs were perfectly smoked and not overwhelming and did not even need sauce on them! The brisket was a little on the dryer side but was still pretty good The beef rib was a little heavy on the pepper for my taste but was still great and not many places offer a Dino sized beef rib The brisket fries were loaded with cheese and brisket and were amazing The Mac n cheese and creamed corn were fantastic however the creamed corn was a little on the sweeter side but was still full of flavor The corn bread is a must to add on! It's not overly sweet but more of a perfect balance of sweet and savory and paired with the special butter, it is perfection! We spent about 100$ total for ALOT of food and had plenty of leftovers. All in all this restaurant does a great job if you want authentic bbq! It's not like Lucille's or Dickeys, this place has real bbq and because of that it will be my new go to for bbq!

If you look at my review from 4 years ago, 5 stars and i haven't updated since because it's usually been pretty good each time returning that there was no need to update it. But this experience we had this past week was really bad that we've decided that we likely will be stop coming to our local Lucille's. Read other reviews on here that aren't left a while back and looks like they've also mention how Lucille's quality along as service has gone down tremendously a lot. When we were seated, we didn't get any assistance from a server til 10 mins plus. We had to ask the associate that was wiping down tables if he was covering our area to get some assistance. He informed us that our server should be right over. Our fountain drinks that we ordered Sprite, Dr Pepper and sweet tea tasted off. There was barely any carbonation nor did the sweet tea had any sweetening to the tea we loved here. We informed our server and she told the manager gal. The manager came and spoke to us 5 mins later and confirmed to us she noticed the fountain drinks were off and was having an associate replace the fountain drinks machine but meanwhile offered if we can get another drink in the time being without no charge so we may enjoy something with our meals. We took the offer n got a strawberry lemonade along w a peach lemonade also while waiting for the replacement soda. My kids weren't too much of a fan of lemonade but tried their best to enjoy the lemonade. About 20 mins to half n hour later. The manager did see us and came back to ask how our replacement soda tasted and we informed her we never got our replacement soda. She let an associate know and we finally got our replacement soda. But by then, we were about done w our meals and was pretty full. Ask an associate that is now no longer our original server but a server that was just bringing our food and drinks to us. A to go cup so we can just take our replacement soda to go. We never got out to go cup. Either they were short staffed that evening or associates just wasn't happy being there. Because when we asked for Togo containers too. It took some time to get it. Please Lucille's management, if you see this review. Look into your staffs. The restaurant is clean it's just there are some etiquettes that need to be going over. A BIG HUGE READ FLAG. Why would an associate be SWEEPING RIGHT NEXT TO A TABLE THAT IS CURRENTLY TRYING TO ENJOY THEIR DINNER. Where do you think sweeping the floor. The dust particles up in the air would go to. It'll be flying around where we are digesting our food. This is something no one would enjoy seeing when eating. Not sure if the associate didn't have a clue regards to this. ITS POOR HYGIENE for a restaurant industry. I was feeling under the weather along there was no upper management nor much associate to even let them know what we were dealing with. With all of the ordeal and mishap. If you look at my review b4 this. We've got a complimentary bday celebration dessert but this time. We just wanted to be done. Didn't even bother doing our annual bday celebration there that my son enjoys with his uncle for their bday celebration tradition. We still left a 16% tip because we know how things are with possibly server just being low staffed. Because we saw our original server Alyssa at the end b4 leaving the restaurant. She was able to give us a set of Togo boxes. Told us she apologized she couldn't continue serving us because she had a bigger party of 15 to attend to. That would've been great to know b4 she left our table to serve the other table so we weren't turning our head constantly trying to find any service from anyone. We just decided to pay on the tablet. By than didn't want to deal with anyone and wanted to leave asap. Since that was the only service that can help us pay for our bill. Please LUCILLES...DO BETTER!
