A neighborhood gem! Their rolls are huge, the tempura is fresh and crispy, and the service is great. Their sushi quality can be hit or miss, so I'd stick to the rolls and sashimi for better cuts. read more

Our food was delicious (including a miso soup not photographed)! Everything tasted fresh and the portions were perfect. We have gotten this to go a few times but it was our first time dining in. Good is great either way & the staff was so kind! A great spot for our fish & no fish lovers in our house. read more

Great food, fast service, kind people! Always super nice. Will be sure to come back in the near future.

PRO: located in nice shopping center. CONS: sushi is of the lowest quality soaked by sauces to disguise the quality. Even the drenching sauces could not veil the bad food. Water cups smell like a dirty dishwasher. Prices on par with serious competitors. read more

I just missed closing time at Jimmies poke and wanted to give Tampopo sushi a try after seeing their yelp reviews. It's less than a mile from my house so it's super convenient. The sushi chef prepared my order quickly and I was out the door about 5 minutes after I placed my order. I ordered a Hawaiian roll and a spicy tuna roll and took my food home to eat. Mixed the wasabi with some soy sauce and dug in. The wasabi was real, not the paste that some sushi restaurants try to pass off, and a generous helping so kudos there. I tried the Hawaiian roll first with an extra dab of wasabi on top of the tuna strip. Unfortunately I was not very impressed. The tuna was slightly rubbery and had some light fishy odor. It didn't taste bad but the smell and texture were not great. I moved on to the spicy tuna roll and it was definitely better. I alternated between the two rolls and finished with the spicy tuna roll. It was the clear winner between the two. Still I wasn't very impressed with the spicy tuna either. Again, neither roll was bad, but they weren't good either. Mediocre is probably the appropriate term. I think that if the tuna had better texture and less odor I would have considered going back but at this point I have been there, eaten it, and will not return. read more

Tampopo Sushi - Hawaiian roll and spicy tuna roll to go - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Hadn't had Tampopo in years. To be honest I thought they were no longer in business as the sign is not lit up in the evening and we hardly go on this side of the shopping center. We were craving spicy tuna and crispy rice. I had a couple cocktails so wasn't going to drive (mind you it's a 1 minute drive from my house) and hubby had ankle surgery and can't walk. Determined to satisfy our craving hubby drove and with crutches and made his way inside. He said they had a few customers and was close to closing. We order the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice and Tampopo Taco. The ladies working were beyond nice and welcoming to my crippled hubby even walking him to the car helping carry the food. He got home and raved about how amazing they were. We really enjoyed the 8 piece crispy rice and 4 piece taco. Price per item was well worth it and reasonable. The texture and flavors were fresh and had the perfect amount of tuna. I've lagged on my yelp reviews but after the service, kindness and fabulous Sushi I was determined to write my review. Definitely recommend giving this family run business a try. Thank you Tampopo Sushi staff for being so kind to my hubby. We will definitely be back! Cheers read more

First time here and I was very satisfied! Compared to other sushi restaurants in the OC it's great! If you are in the area I highly recommend it. I met my friend here for lunch and she is a regular. The owners welcomed her with a free sushi taco sample bite, which was very tasty! We ordered the Rainbow Roll and a baked scallops roll. Both were very good but I will definitely be ordering the rainbow roll again. The baked scallops were not as baked as I've had at other sushi restaurants but they still tasted great. I would be happy to dine here again if I am ever in the area! read more

Tampopo Sushi - Tampopo Taco! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

I've tried only 2 rolls so far both had very generous portions. Bingo roll (no rice) and salmon lover. I enjoyed both but would prefer the salmon lovers without the dressing drizzled on top. Take out orders their fast. The one time I dined in with my parents for my birthday they brought out the bento boxes ordered first and waited around 5min more for the 3rd and last dish. Kinda bummed they didn't just time it so we could all enjoy at once. They did apologize for the delay with 3 sashimi pieces of salmon, so they redeemed themselves and stay in my routine visits when I crave salmon. read more

The ramen portions are big. The servers were friendly and very attentive. The place has a chill vibe. I liked the sashimi and the King Kong. The King Kong was discounted when I went. They have discounted menu which was a nice surprise. read more

The overall taste was little bland. The rolls were overpriced. I'm guessing because of the size?? But my wife and her friend had difficulty eating the rolls. I wish their rolls are smaller and cheaper!!! I live a min away!! Please read more

Went to this place for dinner, but got a little disappointed. They put that sweet sauce on almost every sushi dishes and some of them didn't go well with it...and the texture of the tuna sushi was one of the worst I had, very tough and chewy... Service was good and attentive and food came fast since we were the only table there when we first go there. read more

Great Sushi, Good service and a nice ambiance! My favorite thing is the pretty roll, I remember they took it off the menu for a bit, so me and my dad got the bingo roll during that time, it was delicious. read more

This used to be our go-to spot whenever we wanted sushi without driving too far. Unfortunately, our visit today was a huge disappointment. The restaurant has changed ownership and staff, and the service was awful. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we weren't welcome. The waitress was rude and indifferent -- no basic courtesy or warmth. Prices have also gone up significantly, and for what they charge now, you can get much better sushi and far superior service at many other restaurants in Brea. We won't be coming back. read more

I love supporting family-owned businesses and I also love delicious sushi, a win-win! You can't go wrong with choosing any of their sushi rolls. We got some of their specialty rolls and they were all delicious. The baked scallop rolls is yummy and very filling. Everything tasted delicious and fresh. Prices are reasonable, credit cards are accepted, and there's plenty of parking. read more

Service was great, all servers were nice. The restaurant was packed with people, which is a good sign.... We got seated fairly quickly, ordered, and got our food.... I didn't really had any high hope that the food would be or must be great. but I figure it should at least be regular...... But the rolls that I tried was just not great at all... I felt bad having to say this...but I saw others review, and thought to myself this shouldn't be too bad, at worse, should just be like Tokyo central supermarket standard....hummmm, i was wrong...... read more

This was our go-to sushi restaurant for years and the food and staff are great. However, it has changed owners for the 2nd time since we moved to the area and the prices have gone way up (another reviews mentioned the same). I know prices have all gone up, but I feel like I can get a better value elsewhere. read more

Super friendly, helpful service, and delicious! We ordered veggie rolls for our Super Bowl party, and they were plated beautifully on a platter. We hadn't eaten here in a while but will now be coming back! read more

This place is a local favorite and for good reason! Not the cheapest rolls but the portions are generous and the fish is FRESH. Tropical roll is a must try. It's the right balance between sweet and savory. Karashi roll is not for the faint of heart, it is spicy but in a "burns so good" kind of way. Also really enjoyed the tempura appetizer, a good variety of veg and most importantly everything was sliced pretty thin so you get that good batter ratio. Even my to-go orders from here feel special because they still present them so beautifully (fanned out slices of sashimi with an orchid and lemon twist for example). They definitely try to show customers they care! read more

Hard to believe this place only has a 4 star! I give it 5 This used to be my favorite sushi place, still high quality , portions are also bomb Love the popcorn roll Must try! read more

We've ordered takeout several times and have had great experiences every time! We usually order the Chirashi, sushi combo, and/or cut rolls. Generous portions of fresh fish! Beautifully presented even for takeout, which is a pleasant surprise considering presentation of food is usually overlooked for takeout. Superb customer service! One time, we had to wait maybe 10 minutes for our order and they were apologetic and gave us complimentary miso soups, California roll, and a spicy tuna roll! Totally not necessary but a really nice gesture to make you feel valued as a customer (considering we've had to wait over an hour for our takeout orders at other places without any acknowledgement). Thank you, Tampopo! We're glad we found this place to satisfy our sushi cravings during COVID. Definitely one of our go-to local sushi spots! read more

This is a long overdue review, as we've been ordering from here for a very long time! We love the sushi here, it's sort of become our go to =) Our usual order is the Crunch roll, the Super Salmon roll, and the spicy edamame. Their service is great too! read more

Not horrible , but not great. I've been coming here for 10+ years through the ownership changes. Right now , they are the most expensive sushi place in the area but the quality does not reflect the price. I ordered a multitude of things recently and a couple slices of fish were a let down , including the bluefin - which was stringy with connective tissue. My wife likes this place but won't be back between prices and inconsistent quality read more

I'm telling you I can't get enough of this place. I'm either eating in with other people or ordering take away. Even my daughter in law loves this place who is used to authentic Japanese food from Japan. The variety is very large and the food is so delicious. The California rolls are softer than other places. The soups are really authentic and bento boxes are very inclusive. These are so shareable. I enjoy the people who work here and the owner himself greets you every time. If your a new costumer they grace you with a taste of an appetizer on the house. (I miss that) But at the end of your meal you'll get a complimentary taste of watermelon or some other item in season. read more

Awesome sushi. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Went on my birthday and Chef was really nice and made animal balloons for my kids so they were distracted and I could enjoy my sushi - we got the volcano roll and it was on fire when they brought it out and tasted great. All the other rolls we tried were delicious too - ninja, hot night, and monster rolls. Definitely recommend and we got it again for take out a couple wks later and it was great. read more

I will never be back. I ordered from here came and picked up. My food went home. The order was incorrect. I went back and they told me I order from the wrong place even though they gave me oh an order of food. They also charge for to go boxes, a dollar each. read more

In short, I had overlooked this spot for a while but when I walked in I was surprised and then the food surprised me even more. With a few more details, The restaurant location is kind of tucked away at the East Lake Village town center but it is great for all the houses nearby. The inside is nice and clean and staff were pretty friendly and welcoming. The food was really good and generous. All the fish was good quality. I was surprised that I had underrated this place and it flew under my radar. I'll definitely come back for more. I'll keep it at 5 stars. Great neighborhood unassuming and price conscious sushi spot. read more

Tampopo Sushi - Beef Bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

I love sushi ~~ and I Have tried a lot of places. This place was one of the best places I have tried. The ingredients were very fresh and everyone was so friendly. It was a family like vibe and most of their customers were returning customers. The sushi chefs knew them by name and the Owners too. I like places like this. Their rolls were all unique but my two favorite was the Tampopo Taco and Bingo roll!! The bingo roll has no rice and instead of seaweed they used rice paper to roll it. My daughter who is picky about sushi loved it too. The tampopo taco is crispy with fried shiso leaf and spicy tuna as a topping If your a sushi roll lover or sashimi lover they had it all and was very fresh and delicious. read more
