Hapi Sushi Of Laguna

We live near by and heard about this place many times so one night we decided to give it a try. First of all it's tiny! Not that many people can fit in there so expect to wait even if it's not that busy. We walked in and no one even looked at us to acknowledge our presence. We just sat in a corner and waited for a table. The main sushi chef seems to the the owner as well. They cut off at 9pm - on a Saturday night - and the chef makes it known too. He rushes you like he's telling you to get out. He hardly speaks english but has a way about him to let you know you can't order anymore. The rolls were tasty, I won't deny that. When we got the check it was the highest we had spent compared to any sushi place around, $98 for 3 rolls, large hot saki, large soporo which normally should be around $65 for two people. The worst was there was no itemized receipt just a piece of paper with sushi total and drinks total... who knows what he charged us but that was the last time we ever went back. Too bad cause the rolls are very unique and tasty.... more

I've eaten here a number of times and have been satisfied every time. While I prefer certain bars in LA, when in Laguna this is where I go for my sushi fix. The staff is friendly and some of their rolls are inventive if not entirely Japanese in origin. Their prices are reasonable and the fish is fresh. It's not very large so I suggest calling ahead and checking to see if you need a reservation or not. more

It is the BEST place for sushi, try the specialty rools, good prices for high quality sushi. This place puts others to shame. It can get busy but well worth any wait. Pros: great food Cons: not a lot of space more

I have only been here once, and it was the best sushi i have ever had! There was a roll we ordered that had strawaberries in it, and it was unbeleivable! Super yummy! Must try it! Pros: great sushi, great cheifs, great location Cons: small space more

Despite the heinously low rating, Hapi Sushi is a find if you're a serious sushi connoisseur. Their specialty rolls are to die for. Don't be scared by the lack of listed prices on the menu, the cost is actually extremely reasonable for the high quality sushi rolls. Pros: the food, the wittiness of Sato, the music more
