READ ABOUT UPDATED VISIT. WORTH THE READ TO LEARN ABOUT THIS RESTAURANT==============================================If you love dinner and a show I recommend you visit Fuji Revolving Sushi Bar. Easy access & plenty of parking, since its located near Costco. They have numerous menu items to choose, ranging from soups to single item plates to full dinners. And, in this reporters opinion, its all good no its XLNT. I will admit I always order the same thing BUT, if one dish is great shouldnt everything be delicious? My first visit was a while back & I forgot to rate, but now Im on it. We were greeted upon arrival with a big smile by the knife yielding sushi king but weve also been met at the door by a delightful host/server. I usually like booths when dining out but, here, I wanted the counter. WHY? Because they have, as advertised in their name, a revolving sushi bar. Its like a train of covered food that doesnt stop....not ever. Its so mesmerizing, watching a nonstop variety of plated sushi travel around the restaurant and pass by every seat at the counter & each of their booths. I also believe Ive seen a couple desserts tucked in between the large variety of finger food items aka sushi. If you dont find what you like remember that knife yielding sushi king I mentioned? Hes right there ready to slice, dice and roll up your selection from the menu. Its also a child friendly place to eat. The one place kids wont leave their seats but remain visually entertained during dinner. You wont leave hungry.===============================================UPDATED REVIEW================================================Recently visited prior to a live performance. The restaurant was quite full and we werent sure about timing. I advised receptionist/server about our time and needed to be out the door within 45 mins. He checked with kitchen and came back and said Ill take your order and if you pay before itll be faster when youre done. We paid & tipped and within 8mins our meal was sitting in front of us. We had a comfortable time to eat and made it out the door withing 40mins. Restaurants which make the effort to accomodate their customers should be acknowledged in an open forum such as this. In my opinion they still deserve their 5 stars.===============================Hey Fuji Revolving Sushi Bar, how about a shout out to me for my review? We are regular customers.======================================

It was a cold and rainy Sunday Feb 9, 2020 afternoon, when we decided to visit the California Cocina. We live about 3 miles away, and have passed this location many times, but never stopped. This time, as we got out of the car, at the small parking lot, with our umbrella, we closed it before entering the corner restaurant. We walked up to the Public Counter and I ordered the special of the day..Sea Bass and my wife ordered the Shrimp dinner. Both were excellent, the dish included tortillas and two side orders. The order taker was friendly and answered our questions as to what was included in the order. He gave us a number to put on the table, and brought the food to us. We got a visit from the chef, he checked on us to see, if every thing was ok. We told him, it was great ! . We noticed a salsa bar with three different strength salsas and other condiments like onions and Cilantro. We took advantage of the onions and the mild salsa. It was mild for my Albuquerque New Mexico ( a Green Chile eater from birth ) wife, but it was hot for me ( my Mom did not cook with Chile ) . We noticed the tables are cleaned, immediately when the patrons leave the table. Everything was clean. The soda fountain included a couple of extra different drinks...like Agave Vanilla soda...which i got, it was good.There was a single old timer adjacent to us, who over heard our conversation. He knew it was our first time there. He comes to this restaurant often and advised us to get the business card that get a punch out every time you order a meal, when you order the 10th meal, one of the meals is free. Dont forget that punch out card, if you are going to be a regular at this restaurant, like us.I gave the casual, order at the counter type Mexican food restaurant a five...in this restaurant category.

Overpriced. Our teppan chef wasnt slightly entertaining or engaging. Ive been to much better Japanese teppan restaurants.
Kampai Sushi House
10900 Los Alamitos Blvd #115, Los Alamitos, CA 90720, United States
Another overrated restaurant in SoCal. Everything, service to food, was just a OK. If youre looking for a traditional (or authentic) Japanese place, this aint one. On the plus side: they have easy parking and outdoor seating but no heaters. Rather, we were told the existing units (which are kept inside among the tables near the patio??) did not work. I am not sure why they are still keeping them around then; perhaps to tease their customers.
Xtreme Sushi Restaurant
4348 Katella Ave, Los Alamitos, CA 90720, United States
We ordered about $75 worth of food last night for a family dinner. We got it to go. Ordered two separate orders of California roll. When I got there to pick it up, there was a menu at the front desk. They were not allowing people to dine in, so there was a table right at the entrance where you had to stand. The very young girl told me they were still preparing my sushi and it would be another 5 to 10 minutes. At the bottom of the menu in very bold print it said 2021 SPECIAL. BUY 2 GET ONE FREE SUSHISo of course, I asked if I could get a free order of sushi for the 2021 Special.I swear.. this is how the exchange pretty much went. She said Oh, no you cant do that. I stared at her. I said Why not? She said Oh, well we cant do that because you already ordered. I said, How many orders did I place over the phone? She said two. So I pointed to the printing and said but it says Buy two get one free, so can I get the free one? She said, Oh, no you cant do that now. I said Why not? She said because you already ordered. I said, Yes but thats the special. She said I know but you had to order it all at the same time. I said, why? She said, Because thats the only way you can get the special. I said, what does it matter? Youre still making the sushi. She said I know but you had to order it all at the same time. I said, But why does it matter? She said, Well you just cant do that. I stopped conversing with her because of the frustration of the conversation.I took some stuff out to the car, came back to pick up the rest of it, and then asked her Well, why did you not tell me about the special over the phone when I ordered? You were the person I talked to right? She said Yes. I said Well how come you did not tell me about the special? And she said, Well I thought everybody knew about it already.Im thinking, why the heck would she think that somebody who is ordering dinneri over the phone think that we would already know about the special? There are about a dozen sushi places within a 5-mile radius of Los alamitos, and there is about 100,000 people that live in that area.I was about to explode, so I did not continue the conversation any further.
