Sushi Bites

This has been on my bookmarks forever! My wife and I walked in, no reservations and they seated us…read morepretty quickly. Excited as I was, I'm glad we came here, Michelin star says it all. One of the best sushi spots I've had a in a while actually. We didn't really do any appetizers and went straight in for the fish. Started off with a couple of hand rolls, we did the crab hand roll and O toro hand roll. Crab hand roll wasn't as impressive, I've had better to be honest. I didn't let that experience ruin it for me because the toro hand roll was delicious. I think they add a piece of mint and it complimented the hand roll. Very crunchy nori wrapper and good rice to fish ratio. For our sushi we started with chu toro tuna, salmon belly, and halibut. Super fresh melt in your mouth quality. Halibut was interesting with the truffle, first time definitely won't be the last. We ended it with red snapper and black snapper. Absolutely amazing, I think the black snapper or the red snapper was slightly charred. It was so good. To say the least, this restaurant was worth it!

The place was packed and loud with music, adults, and kids. I knew what i wanted and ordered but…read moreentire service took nearly an hour and i didn't order drinks or dessert. Super slow. Nice of the chef to switch out roe for halibut for me on my omakase. However, probably the worst omakase I've ever had. No creativity, nothing felt premium, chewy fish, flavors didn't mesh, and half of it was salty. The miso soup wasn't scorching, which i appreciated at first but that meant the last few sips were fairly room temp. The real crab handroll was good. If the price point was $35 sushi set I'd give 5/5 but this is supposed to be premium omakase. I've been to other Sushi Enya locations and had good experiences, so this was very disappointing. Stick to the rolls and nigiri.

The plaza itself is unassuming, and at 7pm on a Thursday, most other businesses in the plaza had closed. The lot was full, so we paid $12 for valet parking across the street. We waited for about 10 minutes for our seats at the bar, and honestly, the bar was so much fun! We sat right in front of our sushi chef and orated our orders directly to him, piece by piece. He was such a jovial soul and made our experience so warm and enjoyable. I was very impressed not only with his ability to make sushi but the attention and care he paid to his customers. For example, he noticed that I especially enjoyed the fattier cuts of fish such as ootoro and salmon toro, so when I ordered yellowtail, he recommended that I try the kanpachi toro instead. It was a great recommendation, and in that moment, I felt so seen. The chefs here are truly masters of their craft, both in sushi making and hospitality. In total, I had the toro, salmon, unagi, scallops, kanpachi, salmon toro, and kanpachi toro. Every piece of nigiri I had was very fresh and delicious. My favorite pieces of sushi had to be the toro. You actually get two different cuts of toro with one order, chuutoro and ootoro which are medium fatty and full fatty respectively. Each piece was so delicious and indulgent, I don't know if I can choose a favorite. I had a wonderful experience at Sushi Gen, and I think that sitting at the bar was way more fun than what sitting at a table would've been. I loved getting to interact with our sushi chef and felt very well taken care of. The sushi was amazing. I'm already plotting an excuse for my next visit.

It was definitely not what I've expected or ever experienced in a Japanese restaurant. We were quickly greeted by the staff and be seated by the wall. The upholstery of our seats were torn. The area where we were sitting was a bit too dark and could definitely add more lights for customers to see their menus. After giving a look at the menu, our server asked if we were ready. I said it's our first time so we need some time to look through the menu. She replied ok and left. We mainly ordered sushi items. Servers brought over each item one at a time. When I almost finished mine, my family is still waiting for theirs. You do see the staff walk by the tables constantly. However, I would hope the servers would ask how is everything and if we need anything else. Overall, sushi tastes fine. I probably won't be back given the experience that we had.

The monkfish was luxuriously rich, while the uni paired with squid was deliciously fresh, with that perfect ocean sweetness and incredible texture.

The scallop nestled inside a squash blossom was another standout. The cocktails take it to a different level. One mention: the staff is essential and truly makes the experience more inspiring.

The space is intimate and classic--there are only about 20 seats at the main sushi bar and a couple of small tables tucked on the side, so seating is extremely limited. That said, the wait is completely worth it. I was super impressed with the quality of the fish. We ordered a wide variety of sushi, and every single piece was exceptionally fresh, beautifully cut, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The chefs clearly take pride in their craft, keeping things traditional and letting the natural flavor of the fish shine without overloading anything with heavy sauces. I've tried a lot of sushi spots across Southern California, and Hama easily stands out as one of the absolute best. If you appreciate authentic, top-tier sushi in a cozy, old-school atmosphere, this place is a must-visit!

Over all these years, the food quality has stayed great, and you still see many of the same familiar faces working there. That says a lot about a place. If you're a regular, you eventually start knowing your favorite numbers and can walk in and order without even thinking twice. My personal go-to is the Triple Chicken and the Chinese Chicken Salad. The teriyaki chicken is always reliable, and I always add the spicy cabbage on the side--it's the perfect addition and really takes the meal up a notch. On a cold day, their miso soup is a great choice, and even their sushi is surprisingly good. There are a lot of options, but for me, nothing beats the Triple Chicken with some spicy cabbage and a Calypso Lemonade. It's a combination I keep coming back to. Sachi Teriyaki is the kind of local spot that has earned its loyal customers through years of good food, consistency, and friendly service. If you're looking for a dependable place with great teriyaki and a menu full of solid choices, this place is definitely worth trying.

I liked the potato and carrots in the dish and very affordable. $9 Shrimp tempura - soooooo good! Beef gyoza - really good Shrimp tempura roll - this was ok. Didn't need as much rice in the roll that it came with tho. Ginger was delish Spicy tuna roll - this was ok. Probably won't order again tho. Extra teriyaki sauce/ginger condiments .82-1.10 each

I regularly order the Thai basil rice and chicken wings, and the flavor seems to vary from visit to visit. The dishes that originally made me a fan just haven't been hitting the same way recently. The pricing is also on the high side. I was surprised to be charged separately for fried rice and then again for vegetables without any protein included something I haven't encountered at other Thai restaurants. My most recent experience was especially disappointing when my order was incorrect, and I wasn't able to get a response from the restaurant until the following day. There's a lot of potential here because the food can be excellent when it's on point. I hope the restaurant focuses on consistency in both the kitchen and customer service, as I'd love to see it return to being one of my go-to Thai spots.
