Swing on by soon and try out our Dragon Roll! It features a Shrimp Tempura center and it's topped with Unagi (Baked Eel), and Avocado. It's very simple, contains no raw fish, and is great any time of the day! It's great for sushi virgins who are not quite ready to eat raw fish. Unagi a great way to work them into sushi, being that it's baked eel. If eel freaks them out, then tell them it's baked fish. If that doesn't work, don't bring them next time so you can enjoy your sushi in peace.

We know you like to watch. We know you like to eat it even more. So go ahead and indulge yourself and come on in! We'll help you get over hump day with ease. Order a bunch of our humps of sushi and you'll be set. Pictured is an array of nigiri sushi: tuna, red snapper, salmon, and yellowtail. It's pretty much the basics when it comes to nigiri sushi. If you ever want an education on sushi, you're more than welcome to come on in and have one of our talented sushi chefs enlighten you with some sushi knowledge. Now get to humping!

We didn't want to like this roll but we do. In fact, we love this hand roll. Smoked Albacore Hand Rolls are absolutely delicious. We always thought smoked albacore is kinda like cheating. We love presenting to our customers raw fishes in unique styles and presentations. Smoked Albacore was just too easy. But we ended up putting it on the menu because our customers love it. And now, we love it as well. As pure sushi enthusiasts, this is one of our delightfully delicious guilty pleasures.

After all that sushi, you got room for dessert? Of course you do! Even if you have to make room, you should for our Tempura Green Tea Ice Cream that's wrapped in chocolate cake? How do we do that? Well, that's our secret. All you have to concern yourself with is eating it all cause you really can't pack it up to go. You can share this with another person or two but if you're a pig like us, you'll get one for yourself. It's worth it. And also worth the extra hour at the gym. Oh, and don't forget to some Mochi Ice Cream as well.

An absolute favorite amongst our regulars is our Albacore Carpaccio. While the delicious slices of albacore are hidden underneath an avalanche of fried arugula, it's also accented with a ponzu sauce and garlic chips. It has a little bit of everything that makes it great as an appetizer or as a main dish during your meal. The fried arugula has a nice crispy crunch to it but couple it with the tenderness of the albacore will make it every bite an absolute joy in your mouth.

We hope everyone has a lovely Labor Day weekend in Orange County, California! Don't forget to come on by for some sushi, sashimi, sake, and fun! If you'd rather party at home, you can always order our stuff for pick-up. Or, you can always get one of our awesome party platters as well. If you do come by, however, our Sashimi Sampler is always a good idea. It features generous slices of our favorite sashimi fishes. And don't forget we have Happy Hour all day on Labor Day!

Halibut Fin. We don't always have this item in stock but it's definitely worth a try if you haven't ever tasted it. It takes a lot of work from our sushi chefs to produce this piece of fish every time but once you taste it, you'll be able to appreciate it. This is an item you can get if you have had all the usual sushi basics and want to try something new.

So, you've just finished a fantastic meal at Sushi World (really, there's no other option). You think you don't have any more room for dessert but you realize that we have a tempura green tea ice cream that's deep fried and wrapped in a chocolate cake. Can you really resist? Yeah, we didn't think so. Doesn't matter how much sushi or sake you've had, you still have room for this awesome dessert. Great to share with someone or keep it all for yourself. They can get their own.

It's official! We've added another unique sushi roll to our already extensive list of sushi rolls. Our Superman Roll has been floating around amongst our regulars for some time now so we've decided to make it a regular part of our menu. First of all, it features no rice, a very common request from our patrons. It's tuna, salmon, and imitation crab in the center and wrapped with a soy paper and then dressed with fried garlic, green onions, ponzu sauce, and our eel sauce. If you can't tell, this sushi roll is extremely tasty.

Unagi is eel baked in a sweet soy sauce. For some who are still wary of eating raw fish, we have this bowl to fulfill your needs. It's quite simple and consists of generous portions of Unagi, Tamago (Japanese egg cake), vegetables, and of course, rice on the bottom. It's a simple, ideal lunch that will truly fill you up. It's full of flavor and perfect for lunch but you can also have it for dinner. Many who especially enjoy Unagi sushi will absolutely love this bowl.

We understand that sometimes, you want a specific sake for your particular sushi experience. That's why we always have an extensive list of sake to choose from. We have lighter ones. We have drier ones. And we also have ones with a slight fruity taste. Ask our servers what they recommend if you do not know what to select. And, if you're unsure about a new sake, see if we have a smaller bottle like the ones pictured. They're great to try out for the first time or to drink by yourself. And they also make your hands look big.

Hand rolls are for selfish people like you. They're made for one person and you get to hold it and eat it all by yourself. It's kinda weird and awkward to share a hand roll. Our Hand Rolls are made to order and can pretty much consist of anything you can think of. If you can especially get it as a sushi roll, we can make a hand roll version of it. We also can use a soy paper instead of seaweed paper for any hand roll.

Our Yummy Roll actually makes both your tummy and your mouth happy. Here's why are Yummy Roll deserves its name: It's a California Roll that's been suped up on flavor steroids. So we take a basic California Roll (snow crab mix, avocado, cucumber center) and top it with escolar, a lemon slice, a serrano pepper slice, a dab of sriracha, sesame seeds, and then dressed with a soy mustard dressing. Absolutely deserves its name in spades. It is the newest sushi roll added to our extensive sushi roll list and it's quite unique. Swing on by and give it a try on your next visit.

Whenever you order a sushi roll, you never really know how many pieces you will have. Often times, you will end up with an uneven number of pieces that don't match the number of people in your party. What to do when you get down to the last piece and you all have eaten the same amount? Who's the bigger pig? Who needs it more? Who's paying the bill? If that's the case, just order another roll. And another. Up until everyone is too full to eat anymore or you finally come down to every one eating the same exact amounts. Get a Cypress Roll.

If you prefer, we can make any sushi roll with a sesame wrapper (or paper) instead of the usual seaweed wrapper. It's really a preference of choice. You might find that you like certain hand rolls with one wrapper over the other. We really don't mind. Just let our sushi chefs know and they'll gladly make the adjustment. In this picture, you'll see our Salmon Skin Hand Roll with the Sesame Wrapper. It's only $4 during our Happy Hour which is all day on Mondays and Tuesdays and on all other weekdays from 2pm till 5pm.

Yes, we do go through quite a bit of tuna every week but we also go through quite a bit of Salmon as well. We do have so many variations of Salmon, including Peppered Salmon, Cherry Salmon, and Truffled Salmon. So yeah, these slabs of salmon are just lying around, waiting for you to come on in. We can stick the whole slab on a bed of rice, if you'd like.

One of our favorite items is our Ikura Quail Egg Uni combo! It's simply Ikura with Uni and a freshly cracked quail egg on top. We do not really recommend you getting this for delivery or take out as it will most likely not keep its form. Sooooo, if you insist on dining in with us to get this item and many others like it, we will not stop you from dining in. Swing on by soon for your favorites or for something new and different. Just ask our chefs!

Happy Hour all day on Mondays and Tuesdays at Sushi World in Cypress! That makes us a pretty good Coachella Recovery Center for all those coming back from partying all weekend. We're also the best official start of every week in the OC! Why? Because you can get our awesome $4.5 Salmon Skin Salad along with our $2.99 sushi and $3.99 appetizers. Oh, and to wash it all down, we of course, have our $12 Sapporo pitchers which will really help you recover from life.

Hamachi (Yellowtail) Ribs are not always available so you'll have to ask our chefs if they're in stock. And trust us. They're worth asking about, especially if you haven't tried them. Our chefs carefully carve out the ribs, sear them, and then lightly dress them with a little spice and a little sweetness. You can just pick up each rib and then suck the meat off the bone. It's definitely a different take on "ribs." Normally, this is a wasted portion of the fish but the Japanese are known for not wasting any part of the fish.

We have many different offerings when it comes to our Japanese Curry. One of our favorites is our Potato Croquettes with Japanese Curry. It's simply just 2 fried potato croquettes with our fresh curry. We also offer our curry with Chicken Katsu, Pork Katsu, and Tofu & Arugula. We also have a Curry Udon which you can add some Shrimp Tempura. Or if you'd like to go even fancier, a fried egg on top. Yum. Yep, we have many options for our Japanese Curry which is awesome to get for lunch but you can also get it for dinner.

Our Jumbo Scallop comes directly from Japan and we've featured the sushi version before. Now, we want to show you what our Japanese Jumbo Scallop Sashimi looks like because it's one of our favorite items to get. The taste and texture is similar but still very different from fish sashimi. There's a bit of firmness to it and they're usually a bit more wet. We serve it with some salt (that's what the chef is doing in the picture) and that's pretty much all you need to enjoy these little bad boys

We just can't get enough of Bluefin Tuna at Sushi World and we want to share it with you! Our killer Bluefin Tuna prices can't be beat anywhere! We get a whole Bluefin Tuna almost every month. If you're seeing this, then yes, we just got another one. Feel free to get the Tuna or the Toro. Toro is the fatty tuna that comes from the belly portion of the fish and it usually runs out quick. This has been on our Specials Board for quite some time and will probably go on for a while longer. It's actually become a permanent fixture. Swing on by soon while it's still at its freshest.

Yay! It's finally raining again in Orange County! While we can't expect to get any snow anytime soon, we figured getting a Snowman Roll is just as good. The center consists of shrimp tempura, snow crab mix, avocado, and cucumber and then it's all wrapped up in a delicious soy paper with black sesame seeds on it. And to finish it off, we lightly dress it with a sweet sauce. Why did we name it the Snowman Roll? If you use your imagination, it's a Snowman cut up into delicious pieces that you can eat. Some assembly required.

Yay! It's finally rained! And we know how you get when it starts raining. You want to stay in. While we prefer that you come in to dine with us, we understand that under some circumstances (like rain and kids), you'd prefer to stay at home and eat. Well, don't sweat it. We got you covered. Order anything on our menu (except for alcohol) and we'll pack it up to-go for you. Just give us a call and we'll prepare whatever you wish and all you have to do is find someone to go pick it up for you. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Now get to calling! (714) 828-3474

You don't have to go all the way to New York to get our Manhattan Roll. Heck, you don't even have to go to Manhattan Beach. We have it right here in Cypress, Orange County! It consists of spicy yellowtail with cucumbers and radish, and then it's topped with masago and a mustard soy dressing. Easily one of the favorite rolls at our sushi bar. Come on by and try it out today! We also have quite an assortment of other awesome, finely crafted sushi rolls that our sushi chefs will gladly put together for you today.

One of our favorite appetizers is our baked mussels. It's so simple and oh so yummy. We take some mussels, top it with our special Japanese aioli, bake them, and then top them with some masago and green onions. They're always a great way to start a sushi session at Sushi World. Tell your neighbors! (But don't tell them about how you steal their Victoria Secret catalogs.)

We named our signature sushi roll after our home, Cypress. We love it here, especially where we are located, which is right next to Anaheim, Garden Grove, and Stanton. Our Cypress Roll features a shrimp tempura center and then slices of strawberries on top. There is no raw fish in it so it's safe for everyone! We love to accommodate everyone's tastebuds and we realize not everyone enjoys eating raw fish. So there's plenty on our menu for non-raw fish eaters. Come on in with a big group! We'll have something on the menu for everyone!

You could say that our sashimi sampler is the ultimate sampler of any kind because you will get only the best cuts of fish! Tuna, Red Snapper, Yellowtail, Albacore, and Salmon. You just can't go wrong when you order this. It is a very shareable dish but you can also eat it on your own. And, there's no rice so it's definitely a no carb situation. The other nice thing about it is that our sashimi is cut to be a perfect bite every time. That's the way sashimi is meant to be enjoyed. Eat enough to please the senses.

Do you like albacore? Do you like shrimp tempura? Oh boy, do we have a sushi roll for you. Get our White Dragon Roll. It'll blow your mind. Also comes with the standard cucumber, avocado, and rice. But, because it is albacore, we also have fried onions on top and it's served with ponzu sauce. Both complement albacore very well. If you haven't tried it and would like to try something new that'll surely satisfy your taste buds, give this a try! Happy Hour from 2pm to 5pm everyday, including the weekends.

What a beautiful winter we're having here in Orange County! Chilly at night but nice and sunny during the day. Typical fall in Southern California. If you tried a lot of our traditional sushi rolls, you might want to try our Anaheim Chili Tempura Roll. It's got a center made up of smoked salmon, avocado, and rice. It's all inside an Anaheim Chili, battered and then deep fried. Topped with a sweet sauce. Not your traditional sushi roll at all. But extremely delicious!
