I love that everyone gets their own individual hot pot and choice of broth. Ordering meat through the tablet couldn't be easier. The buffet bar offers everything from seafood, vegetables, and mushrooms to sauces and even sushi. The staff kept everything running smoothly. They brought out our meat almost as soon as we ordered it, cleared away empty plates in no time, and stopped by often to top off our broths. The variety of food and speedy service make this a great spot for casual dates, hangouts, or family outings.

Decided to try the reverse happy hour at Avenue Shabu, and was completely blown away. It was only…read morenight three of this deal, and they absolutely nailed it. Ambience (9/10) Modern, cozy, and welcoming. I've been to this plaza hundreds of times and had no idea this gem was tucked away here. The Food (9/10) Broth & Meats: Got the recommended Tsuyu broth--flavorful, deep, and spot on. The meat quality is incredible for the price: top-tier pork belly, brisket, short plate, and blade meat. Seafood Spread: Crawfish, crab, shrimp, mussels, clams, lobster balls, and roe-stuffed fish balls. Veggies & DIY Sauce Bar: Fresh bok choy, crown daisy, Napa cabbage, spinach, and enoki mushrooms. The sauce bar is fully stocked with sesame (goma), shoyu, minced garlic, chili drops, and custom house mixes. Dessert: Do NOT skip the Ube ice cream. Service (10/10) The staff operates like the Avengers. Shoutout to William (Iron Man)--he was flying everywhere, dropping nukes of top-tier service. Food arrived fast, empty plates were cleared constantly, and extra napkins appeared before we even asked. Overall (10/10) Premium broths, high-grade meats, a stacked sauce bar, and fantastic vibes. Getting an AYCE spread like this for $20 is an absolute no-brainer. Pro-Tip: Reverse happy hour seating starts STRICTLY at 8:30 PM.

The food here is amazing and delicious. I came with a friend who suggested it and it is up there…read morewith one of my favorite places to get ramen in OC. I'm not a fan of sushi because I don't like raw fish, but this is legitimately the only place I have made an exception. The service was good. The server was very polite but didn't check on us often enough. I really liked the ambience of the store, it feels like a traditional Japanese joint. The place was very clean and the overall lighting is dim

We had one of the worst experiences eating out. We ordered at 5:10 and didn't get a single dish…read moreuntil around 6:00. The dishes we got were only carpaccio and no rice rolls. They didn't check in with us to let us know the dishes were going to be delayed. We had to ask for an update after 40 minutes and they only told us then that there was only one sushi chef at that time. The restaurant had maybe 6 covers at the time and a couple of them already had food. Another group with the same amount of people came after us and received a sushi roll we had also ordered before we had gotten a single rice roll. I called over a server with lashes and a pony tail saying "Hi, I wanted to know what the priority is for the kitchen as it took 40 minutes for us to receive the couple dishes we had but the other table who came after us received a roll we ordered as well." Mind you that table had received all of their ramens and had been eating. I told her I completely understand the hot food is a different person and I had absolutely no problem with them receiving the ramen, but why did we not get priority for that roll? She didn't apologize for the wait and had a very blunt/rude way of speaking to us. When I was mid sentence, she walked away to pull our original server. However, even though she walked around the corner I was still able to hear her tell the other server quite loudly what was happening. Our server was extremely professional and apologized for the delay and reiterated the delay in you the kitchen. I told her I completely understand there was a delay but if she had told us while we were making our order that the sushi items may be delayed due to being understaffed, we would have changed our order to have more hot foods. I also told her I wanted to speak to a shift lead at that point because the server with the lashes walking away mid sentence was one of the rudest things I've experienced at a restaurant. The manager apologized and it still ended up taking another hour for all the food to come out and they still forgot the last two rolls we needed. We had to remind them we were still waiting on the rolls. One of the rolls was the roll given to the table that started the whole thing. We literally spent $500 for a bad two hour and fifteen minute experience. They also didn't refill drinks until an hour and a half in. My family and I spend at least $500 each time we go here and suffice to say, we aren't coming back.

My sushi chef name Mins is the best--his skill, attention to detail, and consistency keep me coming back every time. The sashimi is absolutely amazing and one of the best dishes on the menu.

Five stars all the way!

As a sushi lover, I'm always on the look out for new sushi restaurants near me. This restaurant…read moreisn't new, they've actually been here for 10 years but they just introduced a new all you can eat menu which is what intrigued me and my boyfriend to come try it out! The price for AYCE is $37.95 which is pretty fair, it included limited special items such as sashimi, sweet shrimp, jumbo scallop, amberjack, salmon belly, and more. Although the special items were limited, having one of each is enough given the large variety on the menu. (Pro tip, come with a big group of friends so you can have the pieces from those who don't want their portion) Everything was super fresh and the presentation was beautiful. You can tell the chef puts a lot of effort into every plate. My favorite items were the salmon belly, sweet shrimp sushi, and baked green mussels. So buttery and delicious! We ended our meal with the fried banana ice cream. I thought the fried banana would be heavy after a big meal, but it didn't feel that way at all. It was yummy, creamy and refreshing. It's hard not to feel heavy after having ayce but luckily we ordered just the right amount of everything! The restaurant is small but offers a good amount of seating from tables to a sushi bar and even a small patio. The parking lot is small since it shares a parking lot with a few other businesses, but i've never had a problem finding parking here. The service was absolutely amazing and genuinely made our entire dining experience better, our server Stella and Chef Min were the best! The restaurant was empty when we got there but I really hope that changes soon because this is one of my new favorite sushi restaurants in OC!

Yuki Sushi is easily a new go-to spot. The plaza location makes parking super easy, which is always…read morea huge plus around here. Inside, it has a really calm, relaxed vibe. Perfect if you want a chill meal where you can actually hear each other talk. You can tell there are a lot of regulars who eat here, which gives it a super trustworthy, local feel. This place is not trying to be unnecessarily trendy or flashy; They just focus on doing good food right. ​The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. You can tell they pay serious attention to detail and take real pride in their craft. My mother and I had combination sashimi, fresh oysters, yuki taco, salmon skin salad and mochi ice cream. Enjoyed everything, especially the combination sashimi was so fresh and clean. All perfectly sliced and arranged, the seared pieces had outstanding balances and flavor. I usually don't expect much from maguro from neighborhood sushi but this one was delicious. Loved the detail on the mochi ice cream. Everything tasted just as good as it looked. Definitely coming back!

I placed cash in the folder, a tip was included. It was more than enough. She took our payment, then came back saying it wasn't enough, I was took by surprise. It was definitely more than enough. I don't agree that it was short, because I know how cash I places in the folder. But, I kept silent. I don't have proof of how much I put in there, and I don't want to bother checking the camera. So, this time I place a smaller amount in there, and took a photo, in case she come back saying it was not enough again. It was $53, for $47.69. She took the payment and didn't come back. I had to make sure everything was ok. I asked for the change. She brought back the change, and I tipped her. But the receipt was showing that I paid $50, which was incorrect, as you can see in the photos. The money and the receipt didn't match. Two things was wrong: 1). The payment was more than enough the first time, but it came back short. 2. The waitress didn't bring back the change on the second time. No matter how much the change is, always bring back the change, most of the times the customers will tips more than the change for good service. People don't tips well for dishonesty or bad service. Maybe the waitress didn't feel well today.

The set comes packed with four fresh hand rolls--Salmon, Spicy Tuna, Scallop, and Blue Crab--plus a warm bowl of miso soup and edamame. The fish quality was top-notch, with well-seasoned warm rice wrapped in delightfully crispy, fresh nori. Each hand roll is served to you one-at-a-time and has to be eaten in 10 seconds, this truly makes a difference. The salmon and spicy tuna with crunchy garlic were standout favorites, and pairing them with a hot bowl of soup made for a super satisfying, quick meal. Service from Kasey was quick and friendly, lots of free parking in this plaza. Whether you need a quick solo lunch spot or a solid deal on high-quality sushi during the week, this set is a winner.
