EON Sushi

Dropped in here the other night for an early dinner. Sat at the Sushi Bar — which I do recommend. Park has serious knife skills and fun to talk to (very nice guy). Decided on a Dragon Roll and Teriyaki Salmon plate. Dragon Roll (Unagi and crab with avocado outside) melted in my mouth. Teriyaki salmon was moist and tasty. Wait staff was cool — refilled my water often and checked in with me often. I will definitely be back.

Bad service. After 15 minutes my boyfriend flagged down the Asian waiter with the accent. They took the order of the couple that was seated after us first. I tell the waiter what we want to order. He comes back 5 minutes later and asks what we had ordered to drink. Sushi selection here is crappy. Felt unwelcomed here. Me and my boyfriend are both Latinos and it felt like we were being ignored. Never coming back here again, id rather drive my ass to sushi boom where they have awesome sushi and great friendly staff!!!

Um, this place. The first sign should have been that I was the only Asian American eating there (everyone working there was Asian American though). I ordered hamachi, a California roll (for old time’s sake), and the honey roll. The hamachi was good although the rice dropped off from the fish immediately when I picked it up (that doesn’t usually happen), and the California roll was pretty good. The honey roll is a no rice roll — with a mix of crab with spicy tuna and jalapeño, etc. I regret that one. It’s on me; I should have read the description and moved on to something else. It had too many flavors going on. Too many proteins. And it wasn’t just the jalapeño. It was also a drop of sriracha and the spicy tuna mix. I misjudged this whole thing, which happens when I’m really hungry.
On the upside, nice server, a parking lot.

Had a couple of specialty rolls and they all were great. All ingredients are fresh and service is excellent. All staff are very friendly. If you like sushi and live Happy Hour, check this place out for reverse happy hour or just for lunch/​dinner! You won’t be disappointed

let’s talk about the service!
Our Server was NOT friendly. She seemed like she hated her job. And the sushi chef made a sexual comment about me liking oysters ?? Ok, first, I don’t like oysters and we didnt even order them! So what was up with the sexual comment followed by a smirk and a laugh to my boyfriend? …blew my mind.
Was he serious?!! I get that you’re trying to relate to my boyfriend but your sexual joke was extremely inappropriate… even my boyfriend raised an eyebrow.
Awful!

Wifey and I love this spot! Maybe like the 13time now! Always sit in the same spot too they recognize us. Sit at the sushi bar! Got to try the got milk roll, jalapeño roll, R.C. roll, red dragon, and of course the spider roll!!!

Feel bad giving this place a poor review. I’d recommend it for beginners to sushi who are just starting to experiment with rolls…
That being said, the guys who work here are super cute and nice, and the food is relatively inexpensive.
I guess you get what you pay for.
First of all, the locale was a good indicator to me that this place could be hit or miss. When I noticed that fatty yellowtail sushi was on the menu for about the price id pay for regular yellowtail sushi at my usual spot, I got suspicious and started wondering how fresh the fish was.
The chef was a doll and gave me an extra slice of fatty yellowtail sashimi to go with my sushi. A nice gesture, but also made me suspicious of the quality. Fatty yellowtail is usually melt-​in-​your-​mouth orgasmic good, but this yellowtail was just okay. The texture was below average and the flavor seemed watery, as if the fish had retained water from being frozen, or something.
I also ordered a King Scallop sushi and a roll: spicy tuna over crispy rice.
It seemed as though the crunchy rice was made way before the chef was ready to serve the dish. He topped the deep fried rice with fish, walked away for what seemed like 5 minutes, then drizzled it with sauce. It didn’t taste spicy at all. It was drenched in eel sauce which made it super sweet. The crunchy rice was hard and cold, though I’m not sure if that’s how the dish is meant to be served. It was really unimpressive. Kind of like a crowd-​pleasure roll for people who’re new to sushi.
Finally, the king scallop sushi was nearly unbearable. I usually clean all my plates when at sushi and eat way beyond my capacity. As soon as I put the scallop in my mouth, I could tell it wasn’t fresh. It tasted way too «oceany», which is a flavor I’ve never experienced with scallop sushi, and the texture was like mush in the wrong way. I almost couldn’t finish it. I tried to look for a napkin to spit it out (which I avoid doing at all costs), but my placemat at the sushi bar didn’t come with a napkin and I’d already stole the neighboring placemat’s napkin. I didn’t finish the last piece of scallop sushi and my stomach really hurts.
The restaurant business is hard and I hope these guys swim rather than sink (fish pun).

I didn’t like it… service was not friendly from the begining, there was a hair on my plate (it happens), but the quality of fish, presentation of dishes, flavor, freshness, etc was awful.
Sorry, but it was my experience there.
First and last visit.

I have family members who live close to this place and they brought me… I love it and have been here about 4 times in the last 2 months. I haven’t tasted anything I haven’t loved.
Rolls — Bear, OMG, and Red Dragon (Bear is my favorite)
Sushi– salmon and yellowtail (yellowtail is incredibly good)
Appetizers– garlic edamame (surprisingly addictive) and assorted tempura (just ok)
*major thing keeping it from 5 stars for me is the service, every time I have come in on Sunday it has been the same hostess/​waitress. She seems really sweet but I think she may need more help, there has been two mistakes with our order and she is hard to understand since she speaks so softly

We went for their reverse Happy Hour. Prices were very reasonable. Their portions are big. E3 ordered 3 sushi tolls, sesame chicken, edamame, Chicken dinner, tempura and mochi Icecream and a Sapporo, our bill was $ 30 ish. So much food, and it was so delicios. Highly recommended

Rolls:
— honey roll (spicy tune, crab mix, avocado, salmon, jalapeño) — one of most popular ‘no rice’ rolls that people ordere here. taste great, looks appetizing, and the combination is just perfect.
— the box roll (tuna, salmon, albacore, avocado, spicy crab meat) — Box shaped sushi roll is a pretty interesting concept. Its a little hard to eat and could be quite messy. other that that, the roll itself was yummy and i wouldnt mind getting it again.
— they have plenty of no rice rolls. if you cannot pick, just pick what sashimi you want to eat the most, the inside is pretty much the same (crab mix, avocado) with little differentiation.
Price:
— its about $ 8.99 to $ 11.99 for each roll. its not cheap but its within my budget this kind of sushi rolls.
Sevice:
— just ‘ok.’

Tummi… clean …tasty…good service… large menu… bring family and friends… have a good time:)

Pretty good spot for lunch specials! Not sure what time they end, as it did not state on the menu. But we came in a little before 3 and were fine.
I ordered salmon teriyaki & assorted tempura. This was for only about $ 9 and let me tell you, it’s a huge portion! The tempura was the same size as the a la carte. For the quality of food, it’s above average. My salmon was a little dry, but nothing worth complaint about. Tempura had good variety and fried properly. I got an order of their yellowtail sushi to see how the fish quality is and id say it’s average.
They could work on their service however. Nobody really welcomes you when you come in and you’ll probably be sitting for a few minutes before you even get menus.
Definitely check out this spot if you want a decently priced and good tasting Japanese meal. But don’t come here for a fancy date expecting five star service or top quality fish.

Was craving some sushi take out and ordered some albacore and spicy tuna roll as well as their tonkatsu. The sushi was fresh and this particular roll was riceless. It came with a yummy tangy sauce. The tonkatsu was crispy and the dressing on the salad was delicious. They had a pretty good crowd dining in for a Friday night. The place is spacious and clean.

I’m giving EON (EN?) 2 stars instead of the 1 it may deserve because we enjoyed ourselves the first 2 visits here.
On our last visit (last: meaning our most recent visit & also our last visit ever), we decided to order oysters. I’ve only recently tried oysters and they’ve all been the smaller variety like Blue Point, Naked Cowboy, and Kumamoto. The oysters here are the HUGE Pacific oysters. Being an inexperienced oyster eater, I didn’t notice if they were cloudy (bad) looking or not. But after I tried one, I didn’t want another. My boyfriend ate the rest of the half dozen. The next morning, he had food poisoning.
Besides the oysters, the sushi here is good. They have a big list of rolls if that’s the style of sushi you enjoy. I’ve had sashimi here that was delicious, including their yellowtail belly. They also have a yummy albacore sashimi with crispy onions special.
However, the service is sub par. They are a large restaurant which gets a lot of customers but they only have 2 servers working. I am also a server and I’m not going to personally criticize the servers here since they don’t even have an opportunity to give outstanding service – they simply don’t have enough time. They need to add a server so they are not always running around the restaurant and so they can give their tables enough attention.

EN or EON as it has been dubbed is more show than go. There are so many of these similar mega box «sushi» places that follow this same formula. Make goo bomb rolls and garner them with a local name or something fierce sounding and offer it at an affordable price. The actual «sushi» is an afterthought. It always helps to bundle this formula with some enticing happy hour. Well EON ticks all of those boxes and more.
It’s large and far to corporate to offer anything close to an intimate, fish driven experience. I understand the marketplace loves these types of «sushi» restaurants chock full of kamikaze rolls stuffed with cheap spicy tuna and served a million ways. I for one don’t consider these types of posers, sushi places at all. The sushi bar is intended to be a connection with your serving chef and staff, this is a big miss fire here too.
I gave it the college try and ordered sushi first based on the chef’s recommendation.
Uni, Yellowtail, and Salmon. After being disappointed with each i threw in the towel and decided to join the crowd and ordered the aforementioned goo bomb, the Dragon roll. The omnipresent day old tuna is minced to canned tuna consistency and gets a few companions along the way to form the topping for the dish. It’s really a California roll topped with spicy tuna and a piece of shrimp tempura down the middle. Now comes the synonymous with all things spicy at a sushi bar, Sriracha with Mayo. Take that and liberally bury the roll with this concoction and boom you have a signature dish. Oh ya and lots of overly sweet eel sauce too. It’s like a sushi cartoon. Too much of all sauces and not enough of the good stuff, even for one of these type of rolls.
I am not going to find fault for anyone enjoying a meal at a place like EON but please don’t confuse this with a traditional sushi bar. They go through the motions and the menu is loaded with the right stuff but beware the imitators. EON is not going to satisfy that one bite sensation that makes the perfect sushi or sashimi mouthful taste sublime. The look is not hard to fake but the quality of the fish is a different story. Maybe a HH sometime down the line would entice me to return but other than that probably not.

My family and I were craving sushi, so we decided to give Eon (En?) sushi a try. We came on a Saturday night at 7 PM and it was about half full. Even though the restaurant was not full, we waited about 10 minutes, which was not too bad for a Saturday night. Our waiter came to take our order and we tried the following items:
1. Garlic shrimp — It tasted a little bland. I think if they cooked it a little longer, the flavors would have been infused into the shrimp better.
2. Tonkatsu — The only option for this is pork. I think that the meat was very tough and very chewy. I probably would not order this again.
3. Alaska roll — This roll was salmon on the inside and outside. I thought this was probably the best of all the items we ordered. The fish was fresh and the roll was very tasty.
4. Salmon roll — Explanation below on why I never got to try this.
Our first three dish above came out relatively quickly. Then we waited, waited, and waited for our salmon roll. I tried to be understanding since it was Saturday night and more people were coming in. But, our waiter never came by to check on us and after waiting forever for our salmon roll, we had to flag down a buser who got our waiter for us. Our waiter told us he would check on our roll, but by this time, we did not want to wait and we asked for our check. If this was the end of our experience here, I would have considered giving this place half more star. But we waited, waited, and waited for our check. Finally, we had to flag him down again and he obviously forgot our check and he brought it to us. After this experience, I definitely do not want to come back here for mediocre food and horrible service. PASS.

Definitely one of the best tasting sushi in the OC. I recommend the garlic edamame for an appetizer and the pink lady roll. Not cheap but not expensive. They lose a star for the customer service. The two times we went there the service was lousy. The server forgot to put in our order for our edamame appetizer and the food takes very long to be served so we were starving by the time the sushi came.
I recommend for the best experience since the food takes a long time to prepare, order an appetizer and really make sure they get your order in asap!

Sometimes I have a hankering for Americanized sushi. Things loaded with mayo and stuffed with imitation crab. Rolls with crazy named and garnished with unexpected things. Sometimes that’s all I really want. EON is the type of place you want to go if you have this hankering.
I had dinner here last week and it satiated all of my American desires.
My friend and I shared the following:
–garlic edamame: Genius. Garlic dressing drizzled over the edamame– it gives the otherwise plain beans an extra kick. I could probably eat a bowlful of these by myself.
–dragon roll: Basic, basic, basic. A very basic dragon roll i.e. crab meat, avocado, and cucumber with freshwater eel on top. This was good, but not amazing.
–oh honey: oh honey! oh honey, honey! This roll, on the other hand, was excellent. This is the type of roll I aim to get when I go to a restaurant like EON. There was no rice required. Salmon sashimi was wrapped around imitation crab meat and avocado. It was drizzled with a sweet and spicy sauce and topped with a jalapeño slice.
We happened upon their reverse happy hour which includes a buy one large beer and get one 50% off with a variety of other alcoholic specials. I will be back to taste some of the other rolls.

Woww, my co worker and I cannot believe the lunch specials they offer here. So many options from bowls to cooked entrees and sushi combos. It’s totally a good deal for what you pay for.
We happened to stop by here around 3:30PM on a Monday based on the reviews. We were greeted and seated promptly upon entering. It was nice, clean, and inviting on the inside.
There were so many combinations to choose from but I opted for their sashimi combo (10.99). The waitress immediately said that was a really good deal and I definitely agree. Came with 10 pcs of sashimi (salmon, yellowtail, tuna, and red snapper) and miso soup. It would be perfect if it came with a side of rice but that’s okay, you can order that on the side like I did. The cuts of sashimi were nice and fresh. The salmon just melts in your mouth. Yumm. I enjoyed all of it.
My co worker ordered a salmon teriyaki plate ($ 6.99) which comes with miso soup, rice, a heaping serving of salad and a generous piece of baked salmon drizzled with teriyaki sauce. I tried a piece of the salmon and I approve.
Our waitress was also really nice and food came out quickly which is a plus considering we’re on lunch breaks from work.
My co-​worker and I both give this place thumbs up.
