Sushi Story — Restaurant in La Habra

I made a reservation through Yelp for a Friday night at 6:45 pm for 2, but it was unnecessary. When we arrived the restaurant was largely empty. Service was friendly and accommodating.

I saw on Yelp about the Omakase sushi, so decided to try. It came with miso soup, salad, tempura, bone marrow, and 10 pieces of chefs choice sushi. The soup and salad were the usual standard. Tempura included 2 shrimp, a piece of tofu, a skewer of fish balls, wedge potatoes, and a large slice of sweet potato. The wedge potatoes were apparently from frozen because one of the larger pieces was still cold inside. Some of the fish balls had the same issue. The bone marrow was interesting and super rich. It had melted cheese w unagi sauce on top. I was a bit confused by this because it didn't come with bread or anything to spread on, and just eating bone marrow was essentially eating fat. Frankly, if that is the intention, the portion should have been half the size. The sushi portion of the Omakase included 10 pieces of assorted sushi. All 10 pieces were various fish. The rice to fish ratio was nice. The fish overall was good, but there were a few bites that were chewy for my taste or the fish had fascia that wasn't cut away.

Overall, it was a nice meal. There was also a mini scoop of vanilla ice cream at the end. We walked...

We visited Sushi Story as a party of 8 for lunch and had a wonderful meal and experience!

Food: The food was delicious and extremely fresh! We ordered a variety of dishes, including sashimi, rolls, sushi, appetizers and udon.

There was an explosion of flavor in each dish, and each layer was seasoned exceptionally. Our family has visited many sushi restaurants before but you could tell a difference in both quality and flavor at Sushi Story.

One other thing I really appreciated was the wide variety of food I could order from their huge menu. It worked out great since my toddlers can’t eat raw fish or rolls yet!

Ambiance: The restaurant’s interior design is very nice and unique. It’s decorated with Sakura flowers and Japanese umbrellas, and we felt like we were teleported to Japan.

Service: Everyone, including the chefs, greeted us as we were walking through the doors, and the waiter and waitress both helped serve our table. They were very attentive and came to check on us throughout our meal. They really helped to improve our experience.

Overall, Sushi Story is a premium restaurant serving high-quality food with exceptional service and ambiance, and we highly...

This sushi spot has such a dope Japanese atmosphere that makes the dining experience feel authentic from the moment you walk in. We tried a variety of dishes and everything impressed us. It’s NOT an AYCE spot for anyone asking!

The rolls were a highlight. The “I Love Jasmine” no rice roll was fresh and flavorful, while the Daniel San premium big roll stood out with its generous portions. They run a weekly special from Monday through Thursday where rolls, sushi, and sashimi are buy one, get the second 50% off, which is an amazing deal.

We also had bluefin tuna, bluefin toro, and salmon, all of which were top quality. The “Love Spicy Fresh Roll” was another favorite. It’s always served as a half roll with four pieces, priced at $6-$8 depending on what you order, which makes it easy to try more items without overcommitting. The scallop crunch was light and crispy, and the baked langostino roll was rich and satisfying.

To end the meal, we had complementary ice cream!

The combination of atmosphere, quality fish, creative rolls, and great weekly specials makes this a spot worth coming...
