    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.

We waited almost 40 minutes for our food, which was frustrating enough. I ordered several pieces of salmon and yellowtail nigiri, and every single one had wasabi hidden underneath the fish. There was no indication on the menu, and our server never mentioned it. My mouth was on fire, but what upset me most was that my son also took a bite and had the same experience. Plenty of kids eat sushi, and customers should be told if wasabi is already included under the fish. When I brought it up, our server apologized and initially said it wasn't supposed to come that way. Then the owner said it was intentional. Another owner tried to tell me it was "traditional" and "common," even though it wasn't disclosed anywhere. Instead of acknowledging that customers should be informed, I felt like they were trying to convince me the problem was mine. They also brought us our roll 45 mins later that was mostly avocado with very little fish and missing cucumber which only added to the disappointment. To their credit, they did remove our bill, and I appreciate that. However, by that point the experience had already been soured by the lack of communication and the way our concerns were handled. A simple warning that the nigiri is served with wasabi under the fish would have prevented the entire situation.

Before you head inside, check the A-frame for the weekly combo specials (food + fountain drink) because they're a pretty good deal at $14.01 after tax. Once you order at the register, there are usually enough tables to eat at or a bench if you decide to do take out. Even with a bit of a crowd at 1PM on a Thursday, I didn't have any issues finding a seat. I've only ordered takeout, and I'm always impressed that the katsu stays warm and crispy. - Rosemary Chicken Katsu Sando with Spicy Mayo and Waffle Fries (Tuesday Special): 3 half sandwiches were much bigger than expected and very filling. The chicken was tender with a crispy coating, the bread stayed soft, and the mustard aioli and cabbage tied everything together without making it soggy. The spicy mayo added just the right amount of heat without overpowering the sandwich. Paired with the crispy, well-seasoned waffle fries, it was a satisfying meal. - Tteokbokki with Chicken Katsu (Thursday Special): Despite the chicken being packaged on top of the tteokbokki, the katsu stayed surprisingly crispy. The portion was also generous enough to share. I ordered the regular spice level, which had a nice kick. I was pleasantly surprised to find flat noodles mixed in with the rice cakes, making it feel more like a full entree than just a side of tteokbokki. The sauce was rich, flavorful, and perfect for dipping the katsu. I never would've thought to pair the two, but it worked well together! Who knew katsu could be so versatile? This spot is absolutely worth checking out if you're looking for a filling, affordable, and delicious meal.

We decided to give it a shot because the menus and pics I was seeing on Yelp looked good. I feel deceived y'all!!! This spot was hyped up as another "Tempo" and I was hoping for a less loud, club-like vibe with good food and drinks. Apparently, they changed owners AGAIN just a few months ago. All of the legit Mexican items- gone! I was really bummed because Orange County really doesn't need yet another mediocre attempt at a vibey sushi spot that serves WARM FISH. * The bartender was great! I honestly felt horrible for the staff. They open at 3:00, and I came in at 4:00 to a literal graveyard. I really hope the guys who waited on us get out fast before this place goes down. I know their tips are probably not even $20/a day. * The sushi items were all warm. I got nauseous within the hour after consuming them. * By 5:00 only one other table had arrived and they were also shocked at the massive disappointment so they spent their time waiting for cocktails, on their phones trying to make arrangements to go to another restaurant. So within two hours, they had two tables. * Yelp is deceiving- their reviews are mostly for the old place. Their menu is a disaster right now. There's limited sushi, brisket sandwich, wings, and other weird hodgepodge selections of oddities. The interior is almost exactly the same as Taps. They kept all of the furniture and decor. Maybe this should be a tear down and star over. It's really sad because we could use an old school Mexican restaurant with mariachi's and Sunday champagne buffet brunch. Just look at how El Torito Grill in Brea kills it on Sundays. Taps used to kill it on Sundays too. Where are the smart investors?! Come save this spot!
