Located in the North Western section of Huntington Beach, Sushi Ya is a neighbourhood family haven that specialises in Japanese sushi and Californian Asian fusion cuisine. The food is tasty and affordable, and the restaurant ensures its dishes are healthy by avoiding additives and flavour enhancing agents.

Head to the open dining room and sit in comfortable booths, in front of large TV screens or in the sushi bar and watch the chefs in action. Choose a combination of rolls such as the Californian fusion with sushi, or a nutritious sashimi salad. Lunch special bento boxes are filled with steamed rice, spicy pork, BBQ and grilled beef, sesame chicken, chicken or salmon marinated in homemade teriyaki sauce, salad and mixed tempura.

At dinnertime, sample dishes like chirashi, rice topped with assorted fish; beef teriyaki, sesame chicken or traditional Japanese udon, stir-fried or as soup and complemented by sake or Asian beer.

Desserts deserve special attention and you could consider completing your meal with a tempura ice cream or a shaved ice.
