    Friends recommended this place and I gotta say: if you haven't been there yet you're missing out big time. The quality of the fish can't be compared to those sushi places around, it literally melts in your mouth, uni was amazingly fresh and not overwhelmingly strong nor fishy, their ceviche must be the best I've tried, their tiraditos had such a combination of flavors and ingredients that leaves you wanting more. Service was top notch and ambiance was really warm and welcoming, will definitely be back to try everything I'm still missing in the menu.

    Celebrated our anniversary. Waitress was extremely knowledgeable about menu options. Very attentive to our needs. Her suggestion was spot on. One of the best fish dishes I've eaten! Not to mention the yummy chocolate soufflé dessert. Definitely worth the drive from S. OC to dine.

    We have never been to this location. The Tustin location is great, so we decided to try the Brea location since it is closer to home. It’s a beautiful interior and a lot bigger than the Tustin one. Even seating outside which I would like to try during the summer. The food was delicious and possibly better. The servers were fantastic and very helpful. They played a prefect balance of always around but not overly interrupting. The noise was minimal when we first arrived but got louder as more customers were seated. Seems the noise level would be reasonable for a JBBQ place normally but loud if filled to the brim with people. We look forward to going back to this location.
