Hamachi Sushi Express

This place is small. There were only 4 tables plus some booth seating. We came around 3pm on Saturday, so there was no wait. My son is a foodie. We go to Japanese restaurants for him to order his Chirashi bowl. We have been to a couple of places, but this is by far the best and the price for the premium bowl is $35. He said that getting scallop, sweet shrimp, uni, and toro are like really special. The fact that you can get all that here in one bowl is a bargain! The best part is the fresh wasabi is free with the premium order!!!! As for myself, I love the salmon salad. It was very flavorful with the ginger. We will be coming back here.

All I can say is wow. My boyfriend and I walked in and it has a cozy ambiance. The restaurant is small and intimate. Our waitress was very kind. I ordered the La Habra Roll and my boyfriend ordered the Spicy Tiger Roll. The presentation is on point. My sushi looked so pretty I didn't want to eat it, but when I did I was speechless at how delicious it was. It tasted so fresh. The pieces were chunky too. My boyfriend also loved his roll. We also ordered the Baked Mussels. It should be a crime to make something so flavorsome. I highly recommend ordering that. They don't sell beer, but that's no big deal.We had a wonderful experience. Everyone is so nice and the restaurant is so cute. The restroom is also decorated nicely. This restaurant is definitely worth experiencing.

Shocked how great this place was! All the fish was super fresh and cold. Clean and inviting. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. Will definitely be coming back. On a side note: No beer or sake.

My girlfriend wanted sushi and we haven't had that in awhile so I thought, why the hell not? We landed up at Hamachi and I am so happy we did. The restaurant is very small so apparently reservations are recommended but we were able to be seated right away. It's a very clean restaurant and they utilize the space well. The people who work there are so friendly and welcoming. On to the food, we ordered the baked mussels and they were honestly the best mussels I have ever had, the flavors were amazing and so was the presentation. I ordered the spicy tiger roll and that was also flavorful. My girlfriend had the La Habra roll and she loved them. Overall I highly recommend this spot if you're in or near the city of La Habra.

This place is so good. Call ahead on a Saturday or expect to wait. Excellent bluefin tuna sashimi. The chef was generous to add the toro slices-so kind. Baked scallop roll was amazing. Love the chill music background. Fun decor. Will be back for sure!

This is a 5/5 sushi joint. Take this sushi spot for what it is. It's not a fancy $300 omakase sit down restaurant. It's your local mom and pop casual dining that so happens to be a hidden local gem. Compared to other sushi restaurants in this category, I would 100% recommend this place. Main highlights:-Sashimi and fish are very fresh. Honestly, some of the cuts are comparable to some fish I've had at fancy omakase restaurants. -I recently tried their omakase set. I paid $70/person for 12 course. Some of the courses had multiple pieces. In total, I think I ate 20 different things, which included: salad, miso, sashimi, nigiri, shrimp, oyster, uni and ice cream. I was extremely full and satisfied after the meal. The omakase experience is best described as a casual dining experience where you get whatever the chef wants to prepare for you. Similar to ordering a prefix menu, except each course that comes out is a surprise. The presentation is similar to what you'd get if you ordered from the regular menu. A few of the food items are from the regular menu. There were also some nigiri pieces I had not tried before. My favorite pieces were the oyster, red snapper, salmon carpaccio with truffle oil, blue crab hand roll, and toro. You need to call at least one day in advance to reserve omakase. -Lastly service is always warm. The place is small so if you come in you'll mostly interact with the owners themselves. The chef is also super funny to talk to. FYI:-Make reservations ahead of time, especially on the weekends. The place is small so seating is limited especially on the weekends. You may wait a while if you don't reserve. During the weekdays, I've walked in and have had no trouble being seated right away. For omakase, I recommend coming during the weekday. It's less busy so you can enjoy your meal.-The sushi spot is located in a lonesome plaza. It's next to the Wingstop. Parking is plenty, but don't be deterred by the outside. I promise the sushi inside is better compared to many sushi places in the area. Last note on sushi rolls:-Like I said, this place is better compared to many sushi joints of this category. I've had a few of the rolls and was not disappointed. Rating would be more on your preference. If you want just cuts and rice, try the chirashi bowl. It's plenty and you'll get to try the sashimi as is.

Hamachi Sushi Express is a hidden gem in La Habra that needs to be talked about more! Their food quality and prompt customer service cannot be beat.First, the restaurant is tucked amongst other eateries and is easily visible from La Habra Blvd. Parking is not difficult and easy to find given the mid-sized lot. The inside of the restaurant is charming and intimate. Plan accordingly because seats and tables will fill up at peak lunch and dinner times. Luckily we were seated right away the couple times we've come in.The staff here are super friendly and are prompt with their service. They offered us their recommendations and were easy to flag down if we needed anything.The quality of the sushi was fresh and the portion sizes were substantial. The way that the dishes were presented were thoughtfully put together. Overall a great dining experience and look forward to future visits!

We got a few different rolls and all were good! They have some more unique flavors and it mixed well with the fish. All the fish was also very fresh. The rolls are smaller than expected but it was still good. Would come back to try their other rolls We came on a Saturday night and got seated right away.

I'm not sure how we're just now discovering this little gem, 'cause it's about 4 blocks from our house and it's really excellent. Its tight quarters are easily surpassed by the wonderful work of the chef. I had a couple rolls, Diablo and Red Dragon, and they were fricken excellent!!!! We'll be back.

GO HERE!!!! DO IT!!!! This could be the best sushi we've ever had!!! Don't let the area fool you!! Service was amazing and the chef would call out from his counter if it was a unique cut. The people here truly care about your experience. The fish was so fresh and would melt in your mouth. The rice was soft and didn't feel cold like it's been out like other restaurants . The spicy tuna here was amazing. A generous amount but not overwhelming. Our favorite was the firecracker roll. The scallops are soooo tasty in this one. None of the sushi's we had tasty "fishy" or ocean-y.Vibes were cute and local. Not spacious but makes for an intimate experience. Highly recommend!!!
