50 Best Sushi Bars near San Pedro

“Excellent service! Beautiful ambience . Wide selection of Thai or Japanese food . I was given to try a fried salmon sushi in a light sweet sauce as a appetizer . I ordered a eel hand roll though it came unrolled it had more pieces of the cooked eel then I usually get in a cone shaped hand roll . Ordered a cooked Yellowtail Collar with a squeeze of lemon it was fine . The plum wine was delicious and reasonable . Going back today to try the Thai food .“

“So fun! love the HAPPY FISH! Going to see him tonight!“

“I absolutely love this place! They serve the finest hot and sour soup in LA, and their fried rice is simply exceptional. It's my preferred spot for delicious Chinese cuisine. The online service is friendly and accommodating. They prepare all their dishes fresh, and what I appreciate most is that they personalize the spice and sourness of the soup and rice just for me. Highly recommend!“

“After a long drive I was still hungry, sushi was calling. HOW is this the only place open late for sushi in San Pedro!?!Thank goodness they were! Hit the spot.Very fresh and expedient, all the fixin's given in little sealed bags. Decent combos.All ingredients seemed high quality and well prepared. Wide selection.Parking: Strip mall“

“One of the best restaurants in Long Beach for Peruvian, style, seafood, ceviche, and Sushi. Family owned and operated with a friendly vibe and amazing service.“

“Excellent, authentic, VERY Japanese sushi. No firecracker shrimp rolls. If you want that kinda thing, go back to Hermosa.“

“I’ve been to Japan four times in the last five years. I have friends who live in Kyoto and they take me to their favorite sushi spots. They also tell me where to go in Tokyo, where they spend a lot of their time.I never had sushi as good in Japan as I did last night in Gardena. I’m not kidding.The chef is very dedicated. He considers the entire experience from start to finish. So do a lot of other chefs at great Omakase spots in LA.What is different about Sonagi is that the chef is very into choosing his seafood based on the season. I’m not going to spend time going across each dish but you’re not going to get the typical fish here. I’m pretty sure that if the chef thinks some seafood item is seasonally better than Otoro, that’s what’s gonna get served.I’ve never had rice like the rice served in that small bowl. Crispy and perfect. The soup and the desserts were also incredible.They have two seatings, which I’ve seen in a few other places. Everyone at the sushi bar is served each dish at pretty much exactly the same time. This lends itself to meeting people at the bar. It’s almost like a get together at the chef’s home.One other nice touch: Before leaving, guests are presented with a fine stationary printout of each dish and its sourcing.Special place!“

“Amazing food and unique and healthy options! If you are watching your carbs, they have rolls that are wrapped in cucumber or soy paper instead of rice. Such a nice option and they tasted incredible! We had a variety of dishes ordered at our table. The jalapeño appetizer was incredible and not something you’d typically see at a Japanese Restaurant.The bento box was a fantastic way to try 3 different proteins that intrigued us without ordering way too much food. The edamame has a sauce that’s on the sweeter side, but is still quite enjoyable.The portion sizes are wonderful and the staff is very freshly and attentive. Thank you for a wonderful experience!Dietary restrictions: Low carb“

“Love this very authentic Omakase-only. The sweetest couple runs this amazing experience of many different courses. Our family finds it to be such a fun and yummy treat to eat at Kantaro. Tiny gem---reservation needed. Thank you for another wonderful dining outing at your restaurant.“

“Best bang for your buck Sushi in LA! Newly opened- what the staff may lack in experience they make up for with genuine and friendly attitude. Is this the best sushi I’ve ever had? No, of course not! But at this price point, Sushi is fresh, made to order and tastes good- trust me you won’t find a better deal.“

“Kurisaki is a very authentic Japanese restaurant, with an interesting, focused menu and great preparations. It feels like a family runs it ... they really care. We got pretty basic choices (I was with my 17 year old) but it was great: the California roll was real crab, the spicy tuna crispy rice was amazing (you have to see it) and the Toro roll was great. Our neighbors got omakase menu and it looked awesome. It also seems they have a good sake menu. It is a small place so I would make sure to make a reservation.“

“Loved every single thing we ordered here! The quality of the sushi was seriously melt in your mouth. Parking absolutely sucked, we drove around the blocks multiple times until we came up on street parking behind the alley somewhere. It wasn't terribly busy, got there around 7:30 and was seated in 10 minutes as parties were leaving. The yuzu roll was such an explosion of beautiful flavors combined in your mouth, 10/10 recommend for yellowtail lovers! Ambience was dim, not too noisy and the music was quaint. Would definitely come back to this place next time I'm in the area.“

“The fish is fresh. There are plenty of creative rolls to pick from. The staff are prompt. The sake list works (enough variety and not too expensive). My only complaint is the dining room was warm (too warm). Not a big deal, but the only "note" for improvement.“

“The best sushi lunch specials. It's small and out of the way. The absolute best.“

“The ramen was a good size. I wish there was a combo of ramen (smaller portion) and a side. If you ate the ramen by yourself you would be too full to eat anything else. I liked that they had happy hour add on 's and that they torched the pork before serving!“

“This is indeed a hidden gem in a Gardena mini mall. Their two or three item combo are like a do it yourself bento box with a multitude of choices to pick from, including tempura, teriyaki, salmon and even sushi. All choices come with a small salad, miso soup and rice! Everything is freshly prepared and the service is always friendly. There are some tables to eat there too. We love this place“

“good sushi and locally owned“

“I look forward to seeing you open again“

“Came here with a friend during Dine Long Beach week and tried the special. I really liked the atmosphere, location and service were all great. As far as the food, both my friend and I felt the fried oysters were soggy, and the shrimp and egg sushi were really dry. I'd rate the food 3 stars but bumped it up to 4 for service and ambience. I'd try it again but maybe with something of the regular menu.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, incredible food and even better service. Everyone was super friendly. If you're looking for a new place to make your favorite, Japonica won't disappoint“

“They offer a wide variety of dishes, ranging from traditional Chinese cuisine to creative Western cuisine, and there are many surprising combinations. In addition, the restaurant pays attention to the selection of raw materials and the innovation of cooking techniques to ensure that each dish can bring you the most extreme taste experience“

“This is a hidden gem! Looks like a place most people wouldn't look at twice, in a broken down shopping center attached to a laundry mat between Savers and the T-shirt store. The chef is a food artist, all his dishes are nice to look at and taste amazing. I had the spicy pork bowl, My wife had the number one salad, gioza and tempura mix. She loved her food and so did I. This is about our third time here and we're very impressed with everything. I must try“

“A small hidden gem!!! We were there just last Friday. The service (as always) was wonderful, the food scrumptious and though last Friday we were sat immediately (we just happened to beat the crowd). We have had to wait a few times; and I assure everyone it is worth the wait!“

“Excellent in every way. Perfect!!!“

“This is a family style Japanese restaurant. Food and service is absolutely delightful. Everything from soup to sushi. Lots of choices and combinations. The waitresses there are so efficient and friendly. Expect to wait a little, but it is worth it.“

“Excellent selections...everything is fresh..prices are fair...“

“I'm Japanese and whenever I crave for good Japanese food, I go to Hachi. Hands down the best authentic Japanese restaurant in South Bay. Food 10/10, service, 10/10, wine/sake selections 10/10! If you'd like good food/drink recommendations, ask for the awesome servers Shiho/Yume. They will tell you what's good for the day and you won't be disappointed!“

“No dress code, friendly staff and good food.“

“Cool little sushi shop in a random little plaza right smack on Wardlow and cherry . I believe it's all other food places here in this small plaza so there is parking available to patrons. I have been here on 3 different occasions & have done both dine in & take out ! Usually a creature of habit so have got basically the same thing every time and it's been the crunch roll , gyozas, & miso soup & they smack every time. Service here is good , it's always the same lady and she's very nice. I've noticed they have lunch specials but have not come on during those times ! Plenty of room to dine in . Very nice and neat in there !“

“Delicious sushi! Awesome service!“

“Sushi mafia is by far the best preparation of Sushi and sushimi I recommend this place to all my friends and family everybody come out and enjoy the best I've had highly recommend this place.“

“I have been enjoying meals at Okane Umi since 2016. They have always been excellent in every category of service. The restaurant has had its share of ups and downs but I am happy with how strongly Okane Umi has powered up its menu and added some wonderfully flavorful genuine Japanese dishes. Im pleased they have reinforced their sushi, sashimi, chirashi offerings - I love this restaurant.“

“My first review! My visit here last night was nothing short of a revelation in the art of sushi dining. Celebrating its 17th year, this gem of a restaurant has not just stood the test of time; it has set the bar for what authentic Japanese cuisine can embody. Though it is not your modern izakaya nor fine-dining luxury, it firmly facets itself as the "OG" restaurant in the diverse Japanese dining scene. Immediately upon entering, I observed details of its classic entity by old decos of art, calligraphy, signs, photos, and handwritten notes. It was an ambiance that exuded warmth. I immediately felt the history and dedication woven into the fabric of this place. The owners have crafted not merely a restaurant but a sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer nuances of Japanese culture and cuisine. I opted for the sushi combo course. Each piece of sushi was a testament to the chef's mastery over his craft, with every ingredient shining through in a delicate balance of flavors and textures with a properly curated course. All the nigiri boasted freshness in a blend of tastes that was above satisfactory by the plate. But what truly sets Sushi Anza apart is the heart and soul poured into every aspect of the dining experience. From the attentive, yet unobtrusive service to the meticulous presentation of the dishes, you can feel the love and dedication that the owners have for their craft. It's this personal touch combined with an "aged" ambience that transforms a meal into an experience. In a world where the genuine essence of Japanese cuisine can sometimes be lost amidst fusion and innovation, Sushi Anza stands as a beacon of tradition and quality. Overall, my first visit here was a nostalgic journey through the very essence of Japanese tradition, guided by the hands of those who know and respect it the most. I cannot recommend Sushi Anza enough and look forward to many more visits. I hope to regain the same authentic warmth, excellence, and quality that hallmarks the culinary gems of Torrance.“

“Excellent Fresh Food and really friendly servers who show interest in you having the best experience possible. Happy 9th year Anniversary!“

“Great food, like eating in Lima-Peru. Buen sabor al mejor Estilo Peruano.“

“This review is from a single father and my 11 year old daughter. We come here often and let me say first we LOVE it here. Their food is so good, but there is something missing ?. Here are our suggestions a few salt shakers or individual tiny salt packs available for us to use specifically on the edamame.Our biggest recommendation is that they offering a dessert item, our suggestion is a Rice Roll with Vanilla Ice Cream and Mango slices in the middle with Chocolate and Condense Milk drizzle ?? or a Mochi Ice Cream ( Basic ) ?Edit:from 3 out of 5 to 5 out of 5 now because of the reply ?“

“The food was delicious and fresh. Only the service was very slow and underwhelming which is why it lost a star. We had a brand new server at our table who was very nervous and still learning on the job. There was only another waitress which made a total of just 2 waitress for a Saturday afternoon lunch service. Which is why I have them 4 stars instead of 5. Hopefully the service will be much better in the future. The restaurant is casual and simple. It's in the shopping street area in Torrance so you can definitely find parking.“

“I have been coming here since it first open.This is my go to spot for sushi. The sushi is very good. I have tried everything on the menu and everything is good. There is something for everyone. The service is really good and everyone is friendly. There usually only two servers so sometimes expect a wait but it worth it. So please be friendly to them. I would give this a 5 star but everytime I have came there always some kinda of change like the menu or the chef so the food sometimes taste different everytime you go but in the good way.“

“been coming here for 23 years! great service and great sushi!“

“Very, very nice!!! They just renovated the restaurant and made it even nicer. This might be the place I would recommend people who would like to enjoy authentic and high end Japanese food for reasonable cost. I love their set menus of assortment of colorful items. The service there is also great. I have been there multiple times, and I always walk out with a smile. :)“

“Alway great fresh sushi with every visit. Happy a polite staff!!“

“Helen and the staff of the Crystal Casino and Hotel are very professional and extremely nice. Hotel is beautiful and clean with a great location. A hidden gem in Compton. Wehad a community event, stayed in the suite and order food from the restaurant. The chef is fabulous!!!“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“The food is excellent, great service, and outstanding prices. My favorite restaurant in Torrance.“

“First time trying this place after moving to the neighborhood during the pandemic. We ordered the miso soup, toro sashimi, blue crab roll, rainbow roll, crunchy rice and tuna, and the nigiri sampler they had - all were top notch. The menu is simple and the chefs focus on the quality and execution.Service was great, waitress was always checking in.When you step in you instantly notice that you stepped into a place from the 90's, somewhat nostalgic. Place is small and somewhat intimate giving all diners visual of the prep which is good.All in all will def be back.“

“Great food , excellent service“

“Best sushi restaurant! Best specialty rolls, sushi, cucumber salad, EVERYTHING! The atmosphere is fun and festive! And Owner, Managers, wait staff and sushi chefs are friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable ! Don’t like going anywhere else for my sushi!“

“Delicious and creative Japanese food by these talented Thai chefs“

“Very nice and quiet with good food and friendly service. We were visiting and wanted to get a nice lunch and drink. Beer is 50% off! The bento had so much food on it, we ended up taking half of it home since we were so full from grabbing some sushi rolls before getting our bento lunch, lol. Highly recommend this place. Good good, good price and good service.“

“Stopped here for a quick late lunch. What was ordered: Spicy shrimp roll 5/5 Lobster roll 3/5 Combo A 5/5 The spicy shrimp roll was my favorite. It has a nice bite to it. The spicy mayo is always my favorite part took everything out of me not to lick it off the plate. The jalapeño really gave me the nice kick of heat I was looking for. I'd order this again for sure. The lobster roll was okay. The lobster "meat" felt really dry and spongy and it wasn't that appetizing to continue to eat. The combo A was pretty good and provides a variety if you don't want to stick to hand rolls They also provide a complimentary ice cream scoop of either vanilla or cookies n cream! I chose vanilla and I believe it was probably a French vanilla. It was a nice gesture for sure! The service was pretty good too, and was relatively quick to come out with the food. Everything is provided on the table in terms of forks, spoons, chopsticks, napkins. The prices are very fair! I can see myself coming back.“
