Hidden Gem Sushi Spot Near Brea — Akafuji 🍣✨

📍 Akafuji Tried this cozy sushi spot in La Habra just before Christmas. First impression: clean, bright, and welcoming. Inside, there’s only a small bar on the left and a spacious sushi bar — outdoor seating has tables. We booked 7:30 via Yelp, but it wasn’t crowded, so we were seated right at the sushi bar. 🍣 Omakase Premium Includes: Tuna / Salmon / Kanpachi / Sea Bream / Yellowtail / Blue Fin Toro / Uni / Ikura / Blue Crab Handroll Their omakase is 8 pieces — premium adds uni & ikura. Each sushi can also be ordered individually (per piece), so you won’t leave hungry. I added Scallop. The fish is generously thick and fresh — thick‑cut lovers will appreciate it! The Salmon and Ikura especially stood out — so sweet and fresh! 🍣 Akafuji Roll Inside: Soft‑shell crab + mango + avocado Outside: Blue crab + garlic mayo + eel sauce + tobiko This combo is absolute perfection! Soft‑shell crab with crab meat and savory sauce — a huge, satisfying bite. Could barely taste the mango (in a good way — balanced perfectly). Must‑order! Two omakase sets + two signature rolls + extra sushi came to under $200 including tip. Service was excellent — the manager (in gray) kept checking in warmly. The chef even gifted us baby octopus at the end 🐙💖 #LAFood #Sushi #JapaneseFood #HiddenGem #BreaEats 🍱🎌
