My wife and daughter (both from Japan) love Kaori sushi in Fullerton. They always get the premium chirashi sushi - a generous amount of good sashimi at a decent price. I’m vegetarian so can’t really speak to it lol.
Kaori has a nice vibe, but I don't think it can be comparable to places where actual Japanese customers go.
For one, I ordered their sushi (nigiri) dinner, and it came out with only three types of fish: salmon, tuna, and yellowtail. It was okay quality, that to me already is a huge red flag and it was kind of disappointing.
Most other people were ordering rolls. And it kinda shows.
What other good options have you been able to find in Fullerton? We found Akafuji (really La Habra) to be overpriced for what it was, and Orange Roll Sushi to be ok in a pinch.
Do you enjoy Japan style sushi, or American style sushi? Like, are you going for rolls or actual high quality fish?
I am very hesitant to try anything directly around Fullerton since a simple look at their menus shows that they are roll focused and not going to have the actual kind of fish…
I don't really enjoy any style sushi since...vegetarian. Wife and daughter (who are Japanese) strictly go for nigiri, sashimi, chirashi-don etc. When they go out for sushi, they usually just go to Tokyo Central to get the after 7pm discounted stuff from the bento area, or Dry Dock Fish Co. in…
