I honestly wasn't expecting too much from this small sushi spot in a suburban plaza, but okay prove me wrong! On a sunny weekend lunchtime, there wasn't many people, so we were greeted and sat immediately. We sat at the bar, and I ordered the 5 piece omakase which came with a miso soup and octopus salad on the house. The miso soup and salad were simple and pretty good. Since we were sat at the sushi bar, the sushi chef popped his head over the cases of fish, and asked what fish I would like haha I told him whatever he thinks would be good and he returned with an assortment of whitefish and toro (with some extra toro pieces on the side, yum). Each piece was super fresh and I loved the toppings and sauce on each one. Simply superb. At the end of the meal, we were also given a pack of strawberry pocky each, which was so cute and a perfect little sweet treat. Overall, really enjoyed my experience here. Pretty unassuming, looks like any ol casual sushi spot in the states, but it was really good! And much more than that! read more

First time trying Satoshi Sushi and honestly everything we ordered was so good We got the What Da Hell, WTF, Crazy Salmon, Baked Salmon, plus a bunch of other rolls and apps, and every plate that came out somehow became my new favorite. Each roll had its own flavor going on instead of tasting super similar like some sushi spots do. The What Da Hell roll had me stopping mid bite like "waittt hold on." The WTF roll was super fresh and the Crazy Salmon disappeared so fast at our table. Also the grilled salmon collar and shishito peppers were soooo good too. Service was really great the whole time. Everyone was nice, food came out quick, and the restaurant was super clean. I also liked the dividers between the tables because it kinda felt like we had our own little room instead of sitting right on top of everyone else. Definitely would come back again. We kept saying "okay this is the last roll" and then somehow ordered more LOL read more

Amazing!!! I went here with my boyfriend on our trip and we were blown away! I got the pick me roll and he got the shrimp tempura roll, they were good sized rolls! I was full from one with the gyoza (which was yummy, the sauce that came with it was a tad spicy but in a good way) we also got the barracuda sashimi and it was ok, (it wasn't my favorite flavor because it had ginger on top, but if you like ginger I bet you might like it!) Highly recommend! read more

Honestly made this yelp account just to leave a review. Horrible fish to be honest. Their sushi tastes like the chef dropped it on the dirty floor a couple times, used it as toilet paper, wiped it off and served it to me. Just gross. I don't know how you manage to mess up sushi rice too. The service is just whatever. I had one server greet me and then I just never saw him again. I'm assuming he's just new, since he messed up the names of the fish and I almost ate my friend's order because of it. It's a tight space so it feels like I'm hearing everyone's business. I could forgive my server just disappearing on me my whole stay and the F***d up fish naming, but the food was just straight nasty. Honestly if you're looking for sushi try Akuma in HB. Hospitality and ambience is way better there anyways. Just horrible food and below average service here IMHO. read more

When it comes to sushi, I'm very picky and prefer all you can eat, but in this case it looked really good on Instagram, so I had to try it out. What did you order? I was okay with ordering 2-3 rolls. I got Hell Yeah, Triple Tuna, and forgot the third one was called but they were all so good! Food came out super fast. It was a Sunday too. Plenty of parking! The place is small and cute :) I'm excited to comeback next time to try more sushi For drinks they have beer, hot & cold sake. Food was 10/10 for me :)! read more

Favorite Non-AYCE Sushi Spot. Sat at the sushi bar tonight, where the chefs behind the bar were real welcoming. First time this place has ever been crowded, which is well deserved on their side. Ordered the Hotate scallop nigiri, spicy garlic edamame, shishito peppers, yummy tummy roll, and fountain valley roll. All so fresh and so good. Quality fish and rolls, with welcoming vibes, so really can't go wrong here. read more

I usually order to go from here, and I decided to go try this sushi spot in person because I live near it. The food is pretty good, but I am definitely not coming back here after what I saw.... The employee with glasses was VAPING, yes vaping, in the dining area and I even saw him blow the vape smoke into the clean dishes on the tables and plates. As someone with asthma, I was really shocked and CONCERNED because I have been eating the food from here for a while and did not know that the store allows VAPING. How long have I been eating chemical infested food without knowing?????? And the fact that the store is just okay with this? This is crazy. Everyone knows how bad vaping is, but to do it while you are working in the dining room is crazy. read more

I always come here or order DoorDash and it never misses. The sushi is always fresh, good portions, and it tastes the same even when it gets delivered. One of my regular spots and I always end up coming back. read more

We came around 1 pm on a Tuesday and were immediately sat. The shop is relatively small and quaint, but has a very nice Japanese atmosphere that feels authentic. We ordered the Spicy Garlic Edamame, Salmon Sashimi, Salmon Avocado Roll, and the Dragon Roll. All these items came out very fast (only a couple minutes after ordering.) Spicy Garlic Edamame (3/5): Not bad, but not as good as other places I've had. The flavor could be more garlicky and savory but the edamame was cooked well. I like that it came with bonito flakes and the portion was very plentiful I would say. Salmon Avocado Roll (5/5): Very good! The fish was buttery and not fishy at all. Rice to fish ratio was well portioned and rice was cooked well (not gummy, still has a firm texture yet soft, and well seasoned). Also this basic roll was only $9 which I found to be very affordable. Classic but still delicious. Salmon Sashimi (5/5): Yall, this salmon sashimi was insanely good. While it was cut very thick (way thicker than I've seen in other sushi places, like almost 2 inches thick), the salmon was so buttery, soft, and melt in your mouth. Not fishy at all. I'm not someone that typically goes for sashimi, I prefer nigiri, but this was sooo good. Must try! It doesn't come with a sauce or anything, but the texture and quality is enough to be the star of the show. I didn't try the dragon roll but my friend said the eel was delicious. We were very satisfied with our meal here and the service was fast and friendly. Our 4 items came out to be around $50 which is not bad. We definitely would come back here again! read more

This is our go to sushi spot where we can place our order pick it up! We are never disappointed. They do sub soy paper for our kids that like a simple California roll. They have breaded tempura and spicy tuna. We also love the miso soup. The staff is friendly and it's not a long wait time. Our food is always ready when we arrive there. read more

Ordered delivery and the food came quickly and was packed well - they double wrapped the miso soup to prevent spills. The miso soup was tasty and they didn't skimp on the tofu and wakame. I liked the flavor of the caterpillar roll, but it was a little too saucy on the bottom so the rice was a bit soggier than I prefer. I would be down to try more of their menu. read more

Very solid sushi experience with amazing service and fresh fish. I eat sushi everywhere and Satoshi is better than most. Had a large group here and the staff could not be more friendly and efficient. The chef's are fast and food comes out quickly. Nice variety of fish beyond the typical standards and good pricing. All of the whitefish were outstanding. You will not be disappointed. read more

Satoshi Sushi - Mixed Nigiri - Japanese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

We've been coming to this sushi spot for a while now, and it's always buzzing. The sushi bar is small but constantly packed, with a steady flow of dine-in guests and DoorDash pickups--clear proof of how popular it is. Despite how busy they are, the quality never disappoints. Two of our favorite rolls are the Satoshi Special Roll and the Triple Tuna Roll, both consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. They also offer a large roll menu not shown here, with plenty of options to choose from. This is one sushi bar that's not going anywhere--portions are generous, and we always leave feeling completely full, not hungry an hour later. The staff truly makes the experience special. The servers are attentive and incredibly helpful, the sushi chefs are kind, and everyone is welcoming and inviting from the moment you walk in. read more

Oh man..I really wanted to like this place since the staff were all very friendly, but I can't in good conscience recommend the fish here. Our favorite sushi spot to get chirashi in the area was unexpectedly closed, so my husband and I decided to try this place for dinner after seeing how many great reviews it had. We ordered the fried calamari, 8 nigiri, and 1 chirashi bowl. The calamari was honestly depressing to look at. I was expecting chopped pieces of whole calamari fried in a light and crispy batter with some salt and lemon. But instead I got bland doughy overcooked squid rings sprinkled with raw green onion and spicy mayo. It was really giving pre-made and pre-frozen. My husband didn't like his nigiri at all. The ootoro was the biggest disappointment especially because it cost $25 for two pieces. As for my chirashi bowl, I was barely able to stomach it. The albacore was probably the worst of the toppings. If you look at the picture below you can see how mushy it was just by all the loose fibers hanging from where it was cut. The "sweet shrimp" was just an overcooked shrimp. The rice overall was a little overcooked but not terrible. For all of the food we ordered, our bill came out to be $98. I almost shed a tear knowing we could've had an amazing sushi dinner with excellent quality seafood for the same price at our other favorite spots nearby. To summarize, if you're looking for authentic sushi I would steer clear of this place. If you like the specialty rolls, then it's probably fine since all the sauce/toppings masks the quality of the fish. read more

Satoshi Sushi is a small Japanese restaurant in Fountain Valley. This spot sits in a very quiet plaza, and I did not have many expectations walking in. However, the service was friendly and quick, and the interior was very small, but felt homey. The food itself actually ended up being very good! I really liked the tempura as it was very crispy and flavorful. The Chirashi Bowl was actually pretty solid as well, although I wish they gave more fish. Overall, Satoshi Sushi is a very solid Japanese restaurant in Fountain Valley. Definitely come and try it out! read more

I came alone for dinner and was sat immediately at the bar. Staff were quick and attentive as there were at least 3 servers running the place. Small tables inside, plenty of bar seating and outside seating facing the parking lot as well. I ordered the crazy salmon roll and asked for the salmon on top to not be seared. The roll was delicious and very flavorful with the different sauces it came with. Fish was fresh as well, that must be why the nigiri is quite expensive. When I asked for the check the chef in-front of me handed me a pack of chocolate pocky. The chef was very kind and checked up on me while I was eating! I paid with cash and my change should've included 57 cents in coins, but I only received the bills back. I was going to leave the coins as part of the tip anyway so I didn't say anything but I was confused because the server didn't mention anything to me... not sure if they were out of coins but it would've been nice to know that instead of not getting it back at all. read more

So good! We eat here a few times a month, the salmon is my favorite! It's always fresh and it's not super expensive. I like to get more simple rolls and the eel roll is really good. I notice that they put some sort of sweet umami soy sauce on some of the maki and cut rolls, it's very good. Don't forget to order the fresh wasabi! Service is always good and they are always busy. Be prepared to be squished inside like other tiny sushi spots. read more

Wanted to try a new sushi spot for lunch and placed an order to-go. Chirashi ($24): An assortment of fish on top of sushi rice: albacore, salmon, some sort of white fish (yellowtail?), salmon, tuna, tamago, cooked shrimp, ikura, and masago. Comes with miso soup. Quality was average with stringy parts (connective tissue) of tuna and salmon. Fish didn't taste the freshest and the sushi rice was a little too pungent in rice vinegar flavor. Maybe I didn't order the right thing since it seems like they specialize in fusion sushi rolls with sauces. I might be open to give Satoshi a second chance at their actual restaurant and order rolls instead. read more
