Reviews
One of the rarest places to serve kushiyaki grilled with binchotan (white charcoal). Hokkaido ice cream imported from Japan and rare Suntory draft beer.
This spot is a gem and the value for high quality fresh food is amazing!

Food:
The hand-rolls are delicious and the fish is so fresh. The nori they use really sets them apart from the other Hand-roll restaurants that I’ve been to, super crispy.
I got the 5 hand roll lunch combo which comes with a miso soup, salad and green tea (all for only $29) I love that they only serve you one hand-roll at a time so the nori is perfectly crispy when you bite into it.
Definitely coming back again to try all their other handrolls
Service:
The staff was very friendly and attentive. We were seated immediately at the bar and it was easy to order through the tablet and the food was served quickly.
I visited with my best friend and, as I do with new restaurants, we ordered a wide variety of dishes to get a real sense of the menu. The first bite I had was the salmon skin hand roll, and it completely caught me off guard—in the best way. Crispy skin, perfectly textured rice, and nori that stayed crisp without sticking to your tongue (a detail that can really affect the overall experience). It was a clear sign this place takes their hand rolls seriously.
From there, each hand roll was delivered one at a time on a custom stand, rolled right in front of us, and we were encouraged to eat them immediately. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh. The sweet shrimp had a natural sweetness and snappy texture that confirmed its quality. The uni, toro, and ikura combo was something new to me—and honestly, mind-blowing. The flavors worked beautifully together and it made for a great photo too!
As for the kushiyaki, each skewer was grilled to perfection—juicy, tender, and marinated just right. It instantly reminded me of the taste of Kyoto when I visited two years ago.
Overall, this place is a gem. I couldn’t find a single thing I didn’t like. I haven’t enjoyed Japanese food this much in a long time, and I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend.
Almost forgot. Make sure you try their soft serve. It’s the best you’ll have here in socal
It was not too busy so we were able to walk right in!
This is a Temaki styled Handroll Restaurant!
We had the Tuna crunch, amaebi (sweet shrimp), wagyu, spicy yellowtail, salmon skin, aburi toro temaki
We also tried the crispy rice with spicy tuna (be careful of the chili on top! It is spicy!)
And did a sauce trio with the Yusu kosho, garlic truffle soy, and Spicy soy!
Everything was 10/10 from the beautiful sleek Bar to the Comfortably paced Service by our Chef.
Seaweed had a great crisp and the rice was perfectly warm and balanced.
I also tried a passionfruit mock tail! It was nice and refreshing and not too sugary!
Service was Excellent all around! We will Definitely be back!
Menu is A la Carte Style but there is a great variety of options including apps, maki cut rolls, sashimi, specialty Temaki, and vegetarian Temaki!
Keep in Mind smaller restaurants might have longer wait times during rush but it was well worth it!
Thank you again for a great Meal!
Took my mom to this super chic and modern handroll bar in Brea. The quality of each handroll was UNREAL.
Seriously, so hard to choose favorites, but I loooved the baked blue crab and A5 wagyu.
I also definitely recommend getting their rock shrimp tempura appetizer and fun mocktails that are so tasty.
If you’re like me and can’t resist top-notch fresh fish that won’t break the bank, make sure to bookmark this and share it with your friends.
Thanks for reading! ^-^
Drink … I tried the passion fruit Nomoso (mocktail), well, to me, it was like a soda with passion fruit syrup. Maybe I should have skipped it or tried something else.
Food … we ordered a few temaki … including blue crab, lobster, uni ikura toro and a shrimp tempura crunch. We loved the blue crab a lot, as it highlighted the freshness of the crab meat. Uni ikura toro was packed with flavor (well, we loved uni). Lobster, however, was kind of chewy and would not recommend it. While they tried their best to keep the seaweed crunchy, but they were still not crunchy enough imo.
We also tried the rock shrimp tempura… It was tasty but won’t recommend it before any of the temaki… Its taste was just too strong.
For appetizers, we got some spicy tuna crispy rice – which btw was stackkkkked – as well as some incredibly sweet and delicate Kumamoto oysters (my favvvvvvv kind!!)
We got some classic rolls like spicy yellowtail, unagi, salmon, spicy salmon, and yellowtail – all excellent with generous portions of fish.
For premium rolls, they are a bit pricier but well worth it. The aburi toro truffle is a must-try, especially if you love truffle flavor. Lobster was just OK. The smoke octopus carpaccio was also unique and beautifully presented.
For dessert, they offer yuzu creme brulee which was intensely tart and perfect for yuzu lovers, and a smooth Hokkaido soft serve.
Overall, Origami is an awesome new addition to Brea’s dining scene!
