This is one of my go to sushi by the house due to its price. Very affordable with rolls ranges up to $15 it gets the craving done when I don't feel like driving to other fancy sushi places. Don't be expecting omakase type of sushi here since there is no sushi bar and everything is prepared in the back kitchen. Extensive menu with bento boxes, sushi, ramen and other appetizers. It's awesome to have a sushi spot in the heart of old town Placentia. read more

So glad I found this place!! Fish is fresh, and the staff is warm! Glad it's not the other way around like some other places lol. But all joking aside, best sushi spot in this area! Location was a little tricky to find, old town Placentia, with no street parking but you can park in the back. Joey helped me this last time and she's super nice and accommodating! Told her how my wife had a craving for Salmon, but my kids like Cali rolls, she was able to adjust my order to make sure the whole fam got exactly what they wanted. This is one of those spots where I can't wait to get hungry again so i can have more San Sushi! read more

Absolutely our new favorite spot. The food was delicious, everything from the sushi to the rolls, even the miso soup and cucumber salad were so good. Service was really good, and the ambiance was perfect. Small spot but very comfy vibes. We will be back! read more

San Sushi is a local Placentia restaurant. It's in old time Placentia. Good food, service is good and quick.

The food is worth every penny. We had two baked salmon rolls , spicy edamame , and fried rice. It was all very delicious. The service was not bad but not amazing. The ambience was very relaxing and calm. There was about 3 tables including our party of three. We will definitely be back. read more

Came in here with a large group and the service was so good and took care of us. We had a gluten allergy and they helped out with that and just overall such a good meal. I would definitely come here again if I'm in the area. It also is a reasonable price which is hard to find. It's also really nice on the inside and very clean read more

Bland, no flavor, very polite staff, just very underwhelming flavor, this is my first time here. I was hoping to find a new sushi place because I just moved. Unfortunately this place isn't it read more

DO NOT EAT HERE Anaphylactic Shock Alert - Disregard for human life I cannot believe the blatant carelessness of this business owner. After a shellfish allergy was made clear they still managed to almost kill someone. The unapologetic owner is obviously unaware of what customer service means. Here let me show you in a picture where there is enough space and it is all written out for you. After I mentioned shrimp was not listed for what was inside the "Albacore Night" roll the response was "there wasn't enough space to write it out". BUT you can write out what is in all of the other rolls, right? I was given $28 (keep in mind the bill was $130) vs. me dying because someone decided to add a last minute ingredient. Probably not the best way to explore your culinary imagination when dealing with dangerous ingredients babes. I'm sure there will be enough empty space in your restaurant for you to take some time to consider making a few revisions to your website & menu. This will be reported to the better business bureau due to bad business practices and so no one ever has to deal with this again. God forbid someone actually dies in your dining room. I definitely will need to take legal action on this. We will be in touch. read more

Zero stars, actually. Dry, off-color, flavorless muck. Fish looked like it was from the 2010s. Baked roll wasn't baked, they just placed a bunch of filler on top to disguise it . And have the nerve to call this "sushi"? Hardly meets the definition of food, to be honest. Not fit for consumption. I'd be ashamed to run such an amateur establishment. On top of that, pricey. The gall of this place. I've tried sushi all over OC, the majority of it, well above average. This is BY FAR the worst I've experienced. I'd be interested to know what kind of repeat business they do, if any. I believe their strategy is to rob people blind the one time, and be content with it. You got me once. Never again. Stay far, far away. They don't deserve your hard earned money. Especially when the area is ripe with far better options. read more

All around amazing sushi spot at a affordable price for quality. Definitely worth trying out if you haven't already.

My first time here, we came at 45 til closing, and clearly, the waiters were getting ready to close, but they were more than welcoming to serve us. I had a craving for sushi, I mean, I was so hungry I didn't get to take any pictures of it. It's was yum! Did not disappoint and the price was really reasonable. Aside from people eating in the restaurant, there was a lot of take out orders. Funny thing, you won't see the restaurant from the street, because it's blocked off, but keep walking, it's there. I'm gonna go back for sure! read more

Very friendly host/server! I've been searching for a good salmon skin roll and saw one on their menu and stopped in after work! So glad I did! Everything was amazing and delicious. Very calming environment as well! Definitely will be back! read more

San Sushi has become our cherished local go-to place for sushi in Placentia, CA. As a family, we can't help but appreciate the atmosphere, great sushi offerings, and the fact that it's wonderfully kid-friendly. For our family, San Sushi is more than just a local sushi place. It's a place where we make memories over shared meals and dinners. read more

Jacob was great! On point! Everything we had was delicious! Loved the Zip Code Roll! Thanks for the ice cream at the end Jacob!

Not bad. Would come here to drink as they have a great daily deal for beer and sake. The food here was decent, nothing out of the ordinary. Fish was okay, don't think it was the freshest. The spicy tuna on the crispy rice could have used a little more spice. The gyoza was okay, sauce was meh. Sesame chicken was decent as well, the sauce came on the side and the pieces of chicken are like popcorn chicken size. It could have used a little seasoning. read more

I love the tonkotsu ramen. It's like a big warm bowl of love. The baked scallops were really tasty. Service was warm and welcoming, and very helpful. Place is usually chill when we come. Been coming here a few times over the years and they never disappoint. read more

This place was great! Took and chance and randomly tried it after seeing the reviews on yelp and I was very happy with my decision. Service was great, rolls were great, AFFORDABLE, cute little vibe as well! Highly recommend :) read more

Inexpensive, good food & quick service ! Great place to take your friends ( especially if you're picking up the tab!)

We tried San Sushi for the first time tonight, a Sunday evening about 6pm. The place was literally empty, we were the only customers for awhile, until a young couple with a tot came in. A few people came in for take out orders, one rather large. Our server said it was unusually quiet for this weekend. The ambiance is nice and clean, with booths on one side, semi booths on the other, tables in between, and two bar height round tables by the front windows on either side of the door. Well thought out. We ordered sushi rolls. My wife got the Crunchy Shrimp roll. I got the Rainbow roll and Spicy Tuna roll. They were all very good and very reasonably priced. I would have ordered a beer but they are not yet serving alcohol, though I was told this will happen soon. We received very good service from our young server. I can speak for when they are very busy. This place is in downtown Placentia, close to where we live, and thus very convenient. We will certainly return and recommend San Sushi. read more

I feel really bad to have to leave this review because I know these people are working to support themselves. I ate here this afternoon. Generally, it wasn't that good and I feel sick and have diarrhea now. Not cool. The tea they served was Luwam and didn't taste good, and the food had a fishy flavor. We ordered three items and then left because we were grossed out.. I'm not sure how this place got 4.6 out of five on the reviews. Sorry read more

I've been a hearing a lot of good things about this place so I decided to try it out for dinner. There's plenty of seating and parking in the area and there was only one other table when I went. I tried the shrimp crunch roll, seaweed salad, rainbow roll and the tonkotsu ramen. I haven't been to a sushi place that offers a ramen and sushi combo so this is a major plus! I loved the shrimp crunch roll but the tonkotsu ramen was my favorite out of everything. The broth was so good I finished all of it. The menu is limited, but I think they'll add to it eventually since they're pretty new to the area. The service was fast and the prices are very reasonable. Another plus, when you check in you get a choice of free green tea or vanilla ice cream! read more

Very good, very fresh. Nice location and the service was good. It was our first time there (my wife and I) and we will definitely go again.

Needed some mommy time. Found this G.E.M!! Hole in the wall which makes it even better! The fish is so fresh you can taste the salt water, so good I would recommend for anybody I will be coming back and I work less than five minutes away so I will definitely be a frequent flyer. Thank you to my servers Joey and sharon! You guys are adorbs!!! Thank you!! read more

Street parking nearby, hole in the wall, great sushi, great customer service and super fast too. Clean little place

This a newly opened restaurant over in old Town Placentia, so they don't have their liquor license yet so no sake for another month! The lunch combos are large portions and fairly priced. The cut rolls seem to be a little expensive for what you get and the presentation could be a little better for the rainbow roll. However service is excellent! read more

This is a nice option for those in the area looking for some good outdoor dining and rolls. Located in Old Town Placentia they do their best to accommodate with umbrellas and gas heaters outside. Ordered a few rolls from the place and they were good. Honestly, it was so cold that I don't remember what I ordered but again the food and service was good. Next time I'll take a warmer jacket... read more

The food is good, the service is nice, especially how they are friendly. The ambience is nice, love the music, makes it feel old school.

We had guests visiting and they were craving sushi, one of them happened to be a sushi chef. We came across this highly rated quaint little place and thought we'd try it. We ordered several appetizers, rolls and noodles. Salmon Carpaccio - tasty but very thinly sliced Salmon crab bites - ok at best Garlic edamame - flavorful Softshell crab - crispy but didn't taste very fresh Spicy beef ramen/tonkotsu ramen & tempura udon all tasted like it was instant packet style, nothing freshly made. My brother in law that had the spicy beef ramen ate like a third and said he couldn't eat it anymore. Various rolls - average, nothing special Salmon bento box was at least pretty good Maybe we came in with our expectations too high but the reviews told us to be wowed. Our guest, the sushi chef was not impressed at all lol. 1 star for service/friendliness, 1 star for accommodating a group of 10 in a small place and 1 star for food presentation. read more

Moved to the area a year ago and this review is way overdue. This place is a hidden gem. For this location, the quality of their food is beyond great. Every item I've ordered, which has been most on their menu, have been beyond great. If you are near the area, I highly recommend. Will not be disappointed. read more

12/16/2018 Review We live near by so we choose to check this place out since we heard about it while we attended the Placentia Tamale Festival (12/14/2018). The location has street parking only and is surrounded by other businesses as well as apartments/homes. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left we were well taken care of. Our server was friendly and constantly checking in on us. We ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen Combo + California Rolls, Deluxe Sashimi Plate. The Tonkotsu ramen broth simmering for hours to create a buttery broth with the freshly prepared noodles that were soft and chewy. The thick slices of chashu seared to perfection. The freshness of the california rolls with ripe creamy avocado with the crab meat and crisp cucumber made it the perfect pairing for the ramen. The presentation of the Sashimi places perfectly on the radish strings sliced thick enough to enjoy the fresh quality of the fish. Overall I would say we would return and this time I would try to speciality rolls. The prices were reasonable but i do wish that they offered a special for being new but i'm sure it will do well based on the freshness of the fish and the hospitality. read more
