Akafuji in La Habra

I recently celebrated my birthday at Akafuji and opted for the Omakase experience. It was an exceptional meal that exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment we sat down, we were welcomed by the friendly staff. Every piece of sushi is expertly prepared and presented. There was a good variety of fish that showcases the chefs skill and creativity. The experience was not just about the food but also about the atmosphere and ambiance. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a serene and calming energy that made for a truly enjoyable dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend Akafuji for anyone looking for an exceptional sushi experience. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday.

I recently visited Akafuji and while the service and ambiance were superb, I have to say that the food was a bit pricey. The staff was exceedingly polite and attentive to our every need, and the ambiance of the restaurant was great - it really had a nice vibe to it. However, when it came to the sushi itself, I was a bit disappointed. While it was definitely fresh, it lacked flavor and didnt quite hit the spot for me. Although the food looked good, I started feeling sick after eating it. Im not sure if it was a combination of ingredients or something else, but I definitely felt nauseous. Overall, Id give Akafuji a 3 out of 5 stars - great service and ambiance, but the food could use some improvement.

Update: they might use a bit of msg bc my mouth was quite dry and constantly thirsty after eatingPretty good spot for reasonably priced omakase! I think the omakase special was $50 that’s 8 nigiris and a hand roll which in todays world isn’t really that bad. And for the quality, I’d even dare say this is on the cheaper end of sushi but good.I did some research before going to La Habra since I couldn’t find much to eat but Akafujis sushi looked fresh and quality. Nigiris were all fresh and nicely seasoned with garnish/sauce, blue crab hand roll was also packed with blue crab, friends salmon truffle roll was a+ and the fried calamari was also a banger.Overall, I’d def return and recommend it to my friends. Some of the reviews seem like they’re derived from unreasonable expectations and even then, I thought this was a solid spot for the price. It would be nice if they had an appetizer included in the omakase special but oh well.The server wasn’t the friendliest but I honestly don’t really care as long as he is able to service our table promptly and professionally which he did.Also it was kinda nice to sit outside to eat too and todays weather was perfect. 🫡

A really good spot for sashimi, nigiri and all things sushi! Great interior! Love the atmosphere they’ve created. Chefs, waitresses and host are friendly. As for the menu I do find that the fish quality tend to be better on the weekdays, but do consider that I’ve only been here a few times. I will say the quality is still exceptional even if you visit later into the weekends. Overall, it’s a nice little spot for sushi with a calm and laidback vibe to enjoy sushi.

Wow! I think Akafuji has been offering fantastic Japanese foods.I ordered Omakase Premium today. The Sushis 🍣 are really good.It was melted in my mouth.Also, Shrimp Tempura 🍤 and Beef Udon 🍜 are good too.Interior is clean and neat.

Every time we come here it is amazing. The food and the service is always low key but attentive. They have excellent sushi rolls and sashimi is 🔥. The Toro tartare is my fav while my wife loves the halibut carpacio (to start.) The owner and staff are wonderful. This time I ordered the fresh sweet shrimp and the waitress gave me the great tip to eat the head in addition to the tail. Blew my mind, so good!!!We will continue to come here as long as possible! This is our new go-to sushi place.

Very very good place in Brea, CA for Japanese Handrolls🍣🥢. I try their scallop roll and blue crab roll. Both tasted great. The only draw back now is chicken Karaage. Very juicy and chunky, but I tasted burn on the outside. The chef said they will make adjustment. They are really good at hand rolls. And I will definitely come back and tell my friends.👍

Warm greetings as soon as you walk in. Its not a large menu but what they do offer is all excellent. The fish is the freshest Ive had in a long time, the beer is cold, and the rolls are made one at a time ( meant for immediate consumption). I cant say my wallet could handle frequent trips, however I will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere, nice service. I like their rice in particular; rice is really the star of handrolls to me. Fish was really fresh, it was sad they ran out of blue fin tuna when we visited.Make sure you eat the roll right after it came out so the seaweed would be still crunchy and fresh. Id definitely come back again!

Came here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and the service was great! We got the 3 roll combo (blue crab, spicy tuna, and unagi),the donburi and udon combo, and ordered a side of garlic edamame and mixed tempura. They were also doing a special for A5 wagyu nigiri and ama ebi so we got one piece of each. My bf wanted the curry udon instead of the soup and they were kind enough to modify the order for us. The rolls and appetizers were tasty as expected. The beef donburi, A5 wagyu, and ama ebi were absolutely delicious!! We came here for our 5 year anniversary and the staff were really so kind and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back!
