lovely dining experience on a thursday night. my bf and i went for my dinner and i loved how many vegan options were available (and how the menu distinguished between vegan and non-vegan options. service was quick even though it was an hour before close, and the owner was super sweet w helping us take our picture and walking us through ordering. we were warned about the spiciness of our food and she was right LOL the food was SO YUMMY. whatever tofu wizardry they're using to make the "spicy tuna" is truly magic because the texture was unlike anything i'd had before. the tempura shiitake was fun and light and crunchy, and everything tasted fresh. the ramen was yummy but the sushi was the star. would love to come back and try more read more

Amazing selection of sushi and dishes for vegans and non vegans alike. Some highlights are: Shrimp Tempura - 10/10 Texture was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. My bf who is not vegetarian was shocked that it wasn't real shrimp! Chicken Teriyaki - 10/10 I haven't seen this on a menu anywhere before. Was super stoked to try and it didn't disappoint. The texture was made to feel like real chicken and the sauce on it was great. I asked for sriracha on the side and it rounded out the dish perfectly. The sushi rolls were delicious as well. Overall, great staff, great vibe, and would come again. :) read more

Overall: 7/10 Price/Value & Quality: 6/10 Service: 7.5/10 I really wanted to love this spot, it's a charming family-run and owned business, and I'm always eager to support local spots like this. Unfortunately, a few quality control issues held it back from being great. Chicken Karaage: 4/10 This was a big disappointment. The pieces were hard and overly crispy (almost burnt in texture), with very little flavor. For $10, you only get about 5 small pieces--tiny portions that feel stingy compared to what you'd expect. Regardless if they portion by weight no way was it worth $10. It's chicken not lobster. Grinch Roll: 9/10 Absolutely the standout! Fresh, bold flavors with a perfect balance of spice and creaminess. This one was amazing and I'd order it again. Lucia Roll: 7/10 A solid mix of fish with a delicious accompanying sauce that really elevated it. It would've been an easy 8.5/10, but I found a shrimp shell buried in the middle of the roll (not just a visible tail-- an actual hidden shell). That kind of slip-up knocks it down a bit. Salmon Attack: 6/10 The seared salmon was decent, but the roll was overly thick and heavy without much added flavor to justify the size. It felt more filling than flavorful. The family-run vibe is wonderful, and I appreciate the effort to keep things local. However, it seems like the staff is a bit overstretched, which likely led to those quality misses (like the shell in the roll and the overdone karaage). With tax, credit card surcharge, and tip, the total neared $100, pricey for the portion sizes and inconsistencies. Also had to wait over an Hour for takeout. Supporting small businesses is great, but quality needs to match the price. read more

Tama Sushi - Tiny portion of karage. There's more sauce than chicken! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

This sushi spot saved me through my pregnancy! Their vegan options are amazing, I never once felt like I was missing out. After I had my baby, we kept coming back so I could finally try the fish sushi, and it did not disappoint. The staff is wonderful and so helpful whenever I have questions. Seating-wise, indoor is a little tight, but the outdoor seating is really nice. This place will always have a spot in my heart, and I make it a point to stop in whenever I'm in HB. read more

I've had Tama on my list for so long, and now I can finally say I've marked it off my list, but now it's moved to my list of regs. Super happy with the entire experience. Service was perfect: attentive but not overwhelming. My server took her time walking me through the entire vegan menu. I ordered three rolls: Cute Wrap... bright veggies and wrapped in crisp cucumber. Sauce was light, but very deep in flavor and there's seaweed in the roll which is the perfect touch. Squid Game was bomb! Konjac is the squid... this role is next level and so fun! The combo of the sauces was exquisite! The baked LB was not my fav, plain water chestnuts on top of a veggie roll. It lacked any character and really needed more sauce. I'm happy to have tried it but won't order it again. Oh and did I say miso soup is on the house!!! Cannot wait to return! Inside is somewhat small but cozy. Equal amount of dining space outside. There's a private parking lot, but can be busy during peak times. read more

I'm not vegan, but I wanted to try this spot as it was highly recommended by my vegan friend. So I took my vegetarian bestie with me and we both loved it. The girls serving us were very sweet, attentive, filling our waters frequently, and being patient with us deciding on what to order. Being our first time there, the menu was a lot to sort through but found it very organized and easy to read. The menu had an abundance of vegan and non vegan options, and we even got complimentary miso soup. We got the Vegan Shoyu Ramen - a clear savory broth, tofu, bokchoy, enoki, another type mushroom, and ginger. Added a side of tempura shrimp for extra protein. The vegan roll Hummingbird - vegan spicy tuna, vegan baby lobster, wrapped with avo topped with spicy sauce - was the shining star! Truly enjoyed everything, even the cute beckoning cat detail on the bowls and plates. read more

We've been here twice now and it's quickly become a favorite. It's a cute little neighborhood gem run by a Thai couple, and the service is always so kind and welcoming. They have a full vegan menu and a full non-vegan menu, which we really appreciate. Everything we've tried has been super fresh and delicious--especially the Tom Kha udon, which is super spicy and packed with flavor. Also love that the miso soup is free! Tons of options, great prices, and a cozy local vibe. We'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Ordered takeout so cannot comment on service or ambience. I ordered from the non-vegan menu, the chirashi bowl ($20) and the spicy tuna roll ($8). They do have many options for vegan sushi if that's what you're looking for. For the chirashi bowl, there wasn't much rice and the sashimi tasted fine, but I wasn't a huge fan of the cuts used. Sauce was a little too savory for my liking. The spicy tuna roll was also okay, it was a little lacking in flavor. read more

Delicious and beautiful food! If you're looking for excellent vegan and vegetarian sushi, this place is exactly what you're looking for.

Wow what a gem! As a vegan I crave sushi constantly and there's few places who can deliver quality vegan sushi that hits the mark! The rolls were fresh, creative and delicious!!! The Tuna Nirvana and Vegan Nachos were 2 stand outs but it was all so good! Great service and so sweet. We will be returning customers for sure! read more

Best vegan food! Love the sushi rolls, ramen, and ...the desserts !! Great service too read more

If you're vegan and you miss sushi, this is your sign to go! If you're not vegan, there are regular sushi options but the vegan rolls are 100% worth trying! They do not lack in flavor and quite yummy. We ordered to-go, and all items were neatly packed - I appreciated the sauces on the side. While I don't anticipate the sushi to be "fresher" in person, I'd be interested to go for the full experience! read more

All day I was craving a Thai Tea. I'm vegan. I don't have many options for a good vegan Thai tea. As you know they have weird hours. I came at 6 and they said they were sold out of Thai tea after only being open for an hour. Normally I would not complain but this really sucked after driving 18 miles. Please make extra if you need to but running out after an hour, at dinner time is crazy. Vegan rolls were amazing per usual. read more

Love this place! Everyone is so friendly and the fish quality is great. We love the no rice rolls. Small restaurant but quick service.

We went there for a quick bite as our laundry was washing. I am NOT a sushi person. I don't eat seafood if I can get away with it. Raw flesh doesn't appeal to me. I was looking over their menu and decided on getting one of their sushi rolls. I saw one that didn't mention seafood in it called the Philadelphia. It is under their NON-VEGAN section of the menu. On it, it says, "Avocado, cucumber, and cream cheese). I assumed that's all that was in it, other than rice and possibly a seaweed wrap. I bit into it and about threw up. I wasn't paying attention to the big pink chunk of fish in it. I entirely lost my appetite. When the lady came back out to see if everything was alright, I said, "No, I didn't know this had seafood in it." She said, "It's sushi. Sushi has fish in it." How was I supposed to know that, when the only thing I saw on the list of ingredients that wasn't seafood but non-vegan was cream cheese? Everything else is clearly labeled such as Albacore Roll, Yellowtail Roll, Tuna Roll, Eel Roll. Baked Scallop Roll. I was annoyed at the non-chalance and the way she said it. Husband liked his seafood...he ate mine. I sat there and watched him eat as I sipped on my water. I won't be back. Maybe he will. read more

Blow my mind, why don't you. Tama Sushi has the best of both worlds. Their duo menu features traditional sushi and vegan options. Yup, you read that right. A whole menu dedicated the vegan items. And to be honest.. some of the veggie menu options are better than the fish. I recently ordered a pretty hefty meal from Tama to-go. But after seeing their adorable patio I had kind of regretted this decision. My order consisted of the baked salmon roll, egg rolls, and their vegan inari special. I was amazed by every little item, their menu was just too good. I honestly don't think I can order sushi anywhere else locally. Tama Sushi takes the cap in Huntington Beach. read more

We visited last night right after they opened for the dinner service. Place is small but cute and space is well utilized. The staff is extremely friendly and efficient. Food is made fresh to order and was delicious. We ordered the vegan veggie bowl, vegan udon yaki chicken, along with the V911 sushi, Vegan Valley roll and the vegan grinch sushi...so yummy! We have missed having a vegan sushi spot since Kensho shut down, but we will definitely be back to try even more of their vegan menu. read more

Got a bunch of crunchy vegan takeout rolls, vegan udon soup, tempura, gyoza, and they were all delicious! Would go back. The woman on the phone was nice when I ordered. Not a huge fan of the flavor of the fried rice, but would still go back, especially for sushi! read more
