Great Sushi spot prices are really fair. The quality is really good. Everyone is super friendly

If you are looking for fun, creative, and interesting combinations, come here for sushi. The menu is huge and we tried a bunch of different rolls. It's not bad, but if you want real authentic sushi, I'd go to a real sushi bar. read more

The sushi was amazing. Every roll (we ordered 4) was delicious & tasted fresh. We had never had a roll with cucumber of the outside but it was SO GOOD that even my kid who doesn't eat veggies said it was pretty good. That is a major compliment- trust me! Presentation is very important here. Beautiful plating. We are not much for it, since we know we are about to destroy it, but every one of their rolls looked appetizing & that matters. Service was good. Happy hour is not daily. It is just Mon thru Thurs. We missed HH but I feel like the meal we shared was worth full price. Next time we are in the area, we will visit again! read more

This was once a favorite Sushi spot for us. We stopped by for lunch, just in time to order off of the lunch special menu. I tried the hand wrap lunch special, which allows you to choose three and comes with miso soup and salad for $25. The miso soup arrived and sadly it was not good. It was watered down and just not worth finishing. I chose Tuna, Albacore, and Salmon for my hand wraps. They arrived looking delicious with sliced cucumbers, sesame, and avocado. Unfortunately, the fish was not fresh and I had to send back the tuna, which had so much connective tissue. I could barely take a bite of it. The server offered to replace the tuna with salmon which I appreciated. We also ordered the Dragon Roll and Lobster Roll, which my husband enjoyed. The only reason for the three stars. Still solid picks. Overall, we won't be back. The fish used in the hand wraps were so off putting. The service was good, but the ambiance wasn't pleasant. Listening to the comments and odd noises coming from the sushi chefs and staff was weird and unpleasant. read more

Love this place!!! The rolls were delicious and the size of each one was very filling. The staff was very thoughtful for our big party, and they checked on us frequently to ensure we had everything. The sashimi platter was the star of the show! The fish pieces were big and fresh, qnd the pickled wasabi added a perfect spice to it. Overall, wonderful experience for everyone to try!!! read more

The fish quality and taste were pretty mediocre. We ordered the sushi and sashimi combo, the sashimi set, vegetable tempura, and sex on the beach roll. The vegetable tempura was nice and crispy. But in terms of the fish, everything tasted just ok. Maybe that's why the restaurant specializes in rolls so the sauces add more flavor to the fish. I will probably stick to other sushi restaurants instead. read more

If you're look for true, authentic sushi, there will be plenty other places in the OC area for that. This might not be the place if you're looking for that experience and that is ok. Because nonetheless this place serves delicious sushi and they have a plethora of options. My favorite is the be cool and I get it every time no complaints. Everytime I've went it was never super busy and the service was fast. Workers are nice. read more

I came here after discovering Papa Poke and it was one of the most magical sushi experiences I have ever had. We were immediately greeted and welcomed as we opted to sit at the sushi bar. All staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. We were recommended the toro sushi and it was so buttery and melts in your mouth. The hamachi was so fresh and tasty. The spicy tuna crispy rice here!!!!! Shoutout to Em our sushi chef for making everything perfect. Just found my new favorite sushi spot. read more

What a nice place! I came in on a Saturday evening. Surprisingly it was fairly empty but it didn't affect my experience one bit. This place is nice and can be found tucked in Seal Beach next to the Vons. The staff were super friendly and the dishes came out with some pizzazz and I was here for the show. We tried several dishes but I only captured the prettiest ones. However, everything I ate was delicious and fresh. The cuts of fish were humongous, which I appreciated! read more

My brother-in-law from Missouri was in town for business. He texted "is my office anywhere near your house?". Turns out he was 5 minutes away. I picked him up after work and asked what CA cuisine he wanted. He picked sushi. I was trying to find somewhere cool and this place was near the beach and had great reviews. We walk in the door and a stench punches us in the face. It smelled so bad in here I was instantly embarrassed and whispered to my wife "lets go somewhere else". My brother-in-law said "nah, it just smells like somebody burnt something" so we stayed. Unlike every single other person who walked in the door we were ignored and stood there until somebody realized we weren't leaving and sat us. Our waiter didn't seem interested in serving our table either. Every other customer they yelled out greetings and treated them like stars. This is why I can't give the place 5 stars. Food though was 5 stars all the way. For being from Missouri my brother in law was a sushi pro. He ordered a sashimi bowl. He was very specific on what type of fish he wanted and the waiter kept arguing saying "it's chef's choice" he said "well, this is the choice he's going to make". Again, service was very odd here compared to the treatment other tables were getting. The bowl that arrived was a work of art. Beautiful presentation of different fish. We were all amazed. He loved it. I ordered the happy hour special. The description was you picked three different rolls and got a smaller portion of them, miso soup, salmon skin salad, and a drink. The waiter carries out this gigantic wooden structure and I'm thinking "wow, that must be a family platter". He then sits is down in front of me, it's my happy hour special! Damn! This was HUGE. Three beautiful rolls and all three tasted totally different. Most places these days everything tastes like a CA roll slathered in sauce. These all tasted distinct. The glutton I am I devoured my entire family platter. The salmon skin salad was the best I've had and I'd come back just for that! Other tables were getting these giant wooden staircase looking things that sushi was placed on. Presentations here were works of art. My wife ordered a salmon philly roll, some gyoza, and veggie tempura. She also enjoyed her meal. Besides the initial stench and the really bizarre service we all had a great time and enjoyed our food. I would definitely come back to try more things. The beautiful presentation alone is worth the trip. read more

... I can't keep up with myself here. I've been here twice in the last week. First being Friday night with some friends and then I asked to come here for my birthday dinner with my husband on Sunday night. Both times were fantastic and our server both times was Molly. We tried the salmon skin salad, the awesome roll, the seared yellow tail with spinach, the tofu salad and the live scallops. With my husband, we had two basic "rolls", the cucumber roll with no rice, the DELICIOUS shiso peppers (Free with Yelp check in, an $8 value) and 4 orders of TORO. The toro was THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD, or that I recall having from anywhere. Buttery was an understatement. SO DELICIOUS!!! The sushi and sashimi presentation here is OVER THE TOP. It may take a little longer than usual because they do not spare any attention to detail. (See photos) Will definitely be back... as soon as I can round up more friends! ... Most likely next week.

My husband and I have been to this place twice already and enjoyed it every time. The service was great, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect! The lobster roll was the best and our favorite!! We tried 5 other rolls and they were all so good. I can't remember all the names. We even had the sushi chef recommend a roll to us and he did not disappoint! We can't wait to go back there again! read more

Fresh and delicious. Located in a strip mall next to a CVS. Lots of parking and seating available when we came here for lunch. There is a large sushi bar in the back left corner and lots of tabletops with both chair and booth seating. The menu is very extensive and took me a while to go through. We ordered the 8 pcs sashimi set, Sammy Roll, and the Triple Tuna roll. The sashimi set comes with 8 pcs of sashimi, 4 pcs of the Absolutely Fabulous roll, seaweed salad, miso soup, cucumber salad, vegetable and shrimp tempura. The sashimi tasted so fresh and melts in your mouth. The Sammy Roll comes with fresh jalapeños on top and was so spicy, we had to take the jalapeño off. The Triple Tuna was ok, but out of the 3 rolls we ordered, the Absolutely Fabulous was our favorite. The service was great. Very attentive. Checked in many times and was great with suggestions. Would come back again for the sashimi set and the Absolutely Fabulous roll. read more

Not sure the logic of posting a sign that happy hour goes until 5:30 and you refuse to offer happy hour to someone seated at 5:16. Really bad customer service practice. Eating out is an expensive activity these days, not giving my hard earned money to business that misrepresents itself. read more

This is our go to sushi restaurant these days; and we've never been disappointed. The interior is brightly lit with a fun mural on both walls, and the service is always very friendly. My absolute favorite role on the menu is the fantastic four, which is cucumber wrapped and has a fantastic sesame dipping sauce. The triple tuna, IDK, Vegas, and absolutely fabulous rolls are all excellent as well. The Ryokan salad is usually good, just make sure that the seafood that is in it that day is all stuff you like (made one mistake one time where it was heavy on the eel and nobody at our table was a big fan). Inexpensive, delicious, and consistent, what more can you ask for? read more

My son is in the navy and happened to pull into seal beach. He loves sushi so with the chance to get to hang out with him I found this spot really close to where they are able to have liberty. We both loved everything! I didn't get photos of the food as I was just happy to have him with me for a meal! We had the spicy edamame, the triple tuna roll and the octopus salad as well as one other roll I forgot! Everything was fresh and made perfectly. Staff were friendly and helpful. They were closing up as we finished and didn't make it seem like we were an inconvenience. I appreciated that so much! read more

Cute place. I liked the food. Parking is in a huge strip mall so it was super easy. Sign on the place said you get 10% discount for paying cash but I paid in cash and got no discount, which was a bummer. Didn't want to deal with asking for it and it's annoying that I'd have to when they have signage that indicates that. Overall, not bad. read more

Great food at a good price. It's our favorite Sushi restaurant in the Seal Beach area.

Amazing service. Each waiter checked in with us and ensured we had plenty of water. The restaurant is very clean, well lit, and has plenty of seating. Came just in time for their lunch special and had more than enough food to keep us satisfied. Not pictured is the seaweed salad (which is part of the free appetizer with Yelp!) the rolls were evenly balanced and fresh. We also had their spicy mayo and spicy ponzu which really added to the meal! Lovely experience and will return! read more

Went to lunch and enjoyed an excellent combo with very friendly and attentive staff. We were close to their closing time and they were gracious to not rush us. Minutes before closing a man came in and while disappointed they were closing he was offered the opportunity to order and take it to go. I thought that very kind. We have been coming here over the years to celebrate family birthdays in the evening. Usually stuff ourselves silly. read more
