Chomp

been their a few times recently and few times last year and have no complaints about the restraunt all my friends and family love the food, service, overall i give it a 10 more

I went with a few friends and we had the Teppan. The food was great however it was a little pricey. Granted, most Teppan is not cheap but no other restaurants (I've visited) charge extra for fried rice. It may not seem like a lot at first, but with a group, it quickly adds up. Plus the meal options were already a little higher priced than any other place I've eaten. Because it's close to my home plus the food was really good, I will be back. Expect to pay about $50 a person after tax tip and soft drink. The front desk is a mess. We had to tell them four times we were there with a reservation for Teppan and they still sat us in a regular booth. Very unorganized and not friendly. I will not score the restaurant for that but if they do read these reviews, they should seriously retrain the staff. Oh and please, lower the music. We could barely hear each other all night. more

perfect for lunch. good price, good service, and a great lunch companion more

My husband and I have enjoyed dinner (usually sushi) at Chomps many times over the last six years. However, our visit there on Tuesday will DEFINATELY be our last! Instead of eating at the sushi bar, we setteIed on Tepan. I ordered the Under the Sea special, which includes both shrimp and scallops and. Durring service I commented to my husband that the chif didn't take nearly as much time to cook our food he usually does. While the food tasted great, about an hour after finishing my meal, I became violently ill. My husband has called the restaurant three times to complain and hopfully be reumburssed, but so far managment has just given him the run around. I mentioned my experience at Chomps to a friend and she said they use old fish and have been closed down by the H----- Department twice. Had I known early, I NEVER would have ate there! Pros: Fun and up-beat atmospher Cons: Old and undercooked fish!!!!! more

Being from Japan, I know fresh and authentic, but this place isn't it. They try the Benihana technique, but the service I have received from the last 15 years has been friendly, however food quality I have to say they lack majorly. Try this for those who eat there: when ordering shrimp, try to see if the shrimp tail slips off the shell when pulling. If they break off easily, and not slip off, that just tells you it is old. I tried ordering traditional sushi, and I would say it is not even close. I hate the false advertising for those who try to sell you ""sushi"" they take decades of training, and when sashimi is more than a day old, they leave a shiny film that resemble a thin mother-of-pearl shine (check that out too!) I don't feel that they get how important fresh means to sushi and sashimi, and one can end up getting really sick from that, not to mention poorly selected fish can send you to the hospital, and I don't have the confidence to eat there any more. Pros: Friendly service Cons: Non-fresh food, extremely loud, insects in the restaurant more

Went there for the $20 all you can eat sushi and thought it was a deal in the too expensive restaurant. Since they have many ""rules"" on how to get to your next plate I couldn't get passed the first. I could of paid $10 for those rolls at a small mom&pops sushi place. Our server was nice, only good thing I have to say. Pros: The serivce from the server Katty Cons: food $$$$$ more

OKAY, the parking sucked, we had to wait a bit for our reservation and the music was a bit loud, but once we got down we had the time of our lives! We had sushi first and later the teppen chef came out and threw rice everywhere and made me laugh so hard my beer came out of my nose! The scallops and filet mignon were perfectly done, and my friend's pomegranate martini was the best I'd ever tasted. KUDOS. Pros: FOOD Cons: Wait more

As soon as you walk in , your shoe's stick to the floor like some kind of glue. Probably to keep the customers from running away. Two Manager's are eating at the bar talking to a third about how it use to be at Rockin Taco, while customer's are waiting for a take out ,for 30 minutes. The receptionist had to appoligize for the wait 4 times during the wait and the dish called ceviche leaves much to be desired. Four thin pieces of toast that look as thin as potatoe chips and a mixture of fish that is mostly scallops in a sauce of Pace Picante Sauce with dried crab meat on top. Most strongly a candidate for Hell's Kitchen. The owner's would be served best by leveling the place and starting from the ground up. In this time of a poor economy and huge unemployment, you would think the owner's could do better, but I guess, one must employ family. Not to be tried again until you see a large sign that says "" Under new Management"". By the way, don't expect change back unless you ask for it and when you do, you are left with the feeling that they think they deserve it. Not exactly my worst experience, but I haven't waited 24 hours to see how it comes out. Pros: They had air conditioning Cons: everything more

The service at Chomps was horrible. The waiters are rude, and the management does nothing to try and help the situation. They also harass their customers and I got sick from their expensive food. Their customer service alone makes me not want to go back. more

Come here for the $25 Sunday brunch, for good selections of sushi rolls!!! Pros: $25 for sushi sunday brunch Cons: Restaurant needs to clean up!!! The seating area smell bad!! more

I've been to Chomps on numerous occasions and the rolls are the best items on the menu. The tornado, screamin' O, baked scallop, and explosion rolls are my favorites. Go during lunchtime since it will be way less crowded. If you must go at night then do get reservations since the atmosphere is better at night. Reservations are not available on Thursday nights because of the all-you-can-eat-sushi night <-- Crowded, not worth it for $20 to wait for 2-3 hours. The Sunday brunch is $25 and you get way more for your money and some of the specialty rolls are on the buffet line. Service is good during lunch but horrible when busy. Overall, I still go there because of the food but avoid the 3 hour wait. Pros: Sunday Buffet, Yummy Rolls, Best Time to visit is lunchtime Cons: Service, waiting for table more

This was the WORST dining experience EVER! They kept our party of 4 waiting over 2 hours for a table and then forgot half of my order! By the time we made the waiter aware of this, it was almost 11 pm and I was so tired and angry, that I just wanted to get the heck out of there. NOT the place for kids...total club scene with a bunch of annoying people yelling and bumping into you. And I've had much better sushi at local, small restaurants with much better atmosphere. Don't waste your time or money here..we went on their all-you-can-eat night, which is $20 per person and there's no way we got our $20-worth of sushi, both in quantity and quality. Pros: NONE! Cons: LOUD, CROWDED, LONG WAITS, OVERRATED more

19.sep.06 Cons: Parasite, LUNG DISEASE, chest & stomach pain, difficulty breathing, di@rrhe@, fever & hives more

PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE! My friend along with 5 other people got food p0is0ning last month from the sushi because there's FECAL MATTER IN THE SUSHI. My friend was rushed to the hospital and lost 16 pounds from dehydration. He got Hepatitis A from eating there. This restaurant has closed down at least 2 times. Cons: FECAL MATTER in the sushi, HEPATITUS A, HUGE hospital bills more

I've been eating sushi for over 25yrs and have had some of the best to the worst. This is just average. Pros: Atmosphere! Have a rowdy large dinner party? Come here. Cons: Food isn't actually very good, the sushi especially. more

I've been to Chomp at least 10 times and I can't wait until the next visit. Generally you don't have to wait that long if it's an off night. Making reservation a few hours in advance speeds up the process. The staff is generally friendly. If you're new to sushi - don't worry. Ask, and the server will guide you in the right direction. The Explosion roll is amazing - it's literally exploding with flavor. This is a must try. They are usually prompt in bringing out your food, and the hot food is just how it's supposed to be - hot. And the the cold dishes (sushi, some rolls, etc.) are nicely chilled, not warm. It's great to go with a group of friends at the sushi bar, or if you're on a date get one of the tables off to the side for a little more privacy. And if you bring people that are a little less adventurous, they have more traditional things on the menu as well. There is something for everyone there. Chomp is my favorite restaurant. There have been good days and better days, but I have yet to have a bad experience there. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Pros: Sushi & Food, Service, Clean Restrooms, Atmosphere Cons: Sometimes it can be a little loud, but that's just nit picking more

I love this place! i come here at least once a week. Not only do they have the most entertaining teppanyaki shows, but the sushi is wonderful as well. This is definitely a great place to come with friends because the atmosphere gets everyone in the mood for fun. They have this great deal on Thursdays where you can have all you can eat sushi on Thursday nights from 8 to 11 PM for like $20 (maybe $25, I forgot). They also have a great happy hour Mon-Fri from 4-6 where you can get sushi for $1, hand rolls for $2, and cut rolls for $3. The best deal ever paired with great food + great music + fun = best place ever! more

I love this place good food good sushi the lobster roll is my favorite. The only thing I recommend is make reservations esp. on busy evenings (Thur.-Sat.) because you can wait a really long time. Lively atmosphere. more

Get 5 to 8 of your rowdiest friends together and go enjoy a fun meal at Chomp! This place is a total blast. Good food, great signature cocktails, and a lively rowdy atmosphere make Chomp stand out from the crowd of more traditional Teppanyaki joints. Reservations for Teppan fill up fast (especially on weekend nights) so try to make your reservation as early as possible. Also, as my sister learned the hard way (on her birthday), they are firm on their policy of only holding your reservation for 15 minutes. If your party is late, you'll be seated at a regular table which means you'll be missing the best part of Chomp - the Teppan show! Pros: Fun atmosphere, great signature cocktails, entertaining teppan chefs Cons: A little loud, and extremely crowded on weekends more

If you haven't been to Downtown Fullerton - Get There! Chomp is our new favorite hang out. The sushi is unbelievably fresh and the place is so much fun. Budweiser Ken is our man! He makes every night a blast. You can (and should) request to have him cook your Teppanyaki table - SAKE BOMB! The place is crazy and loud but the food is off the charts. Our servers have been totally sweet and helped us out with all their unique sushi items the first few times we went there. Now we're pros ( @#%* Mother Roll is our fav). Great food - Great Service! We eat there 2 to 3 times a week since discovering it, we have never had such great sushi & teppan and we've eaten in a million of these type of restaurants. We strongly recommend it! Pros: Ambience, Parking, Service Cons: More TVs would be great! more
