Our first time here but won’t be our last time! We will be back more often! Thank you Andy and all the servers who made our experience so wonderful!“

“Got the gyu (beef) yakiniku bento. Pretty straight forward place, no frills.

Rice, beef, and ginger, and 1 other small side (I can’t remember) but it was really good.

There’s no sit down. Just a desk to take your order and pick up.“

“This place is great if you're looking for decent quality sushi on a budget. We came for a quick lunch and tried a mix of items on their lunch special. My favorites were the teriyaki and Tempura. We also got the sashimi, cutlet and a roll. Overall I was happy with the food and even more so with the price. I would definitely come back here“

“First time here and found it to be quite good. Flavor of beef pepper rice was perfectly seasoned. Meal prepared fairly quickly.“

“1st time here, immediately like it, they have sauces on the side for you to put in your food. I came for a chicken teriyaki bowl but I already want the baked salmon roll. I feel I have missed out these past few years by not stopping and checking it out.“

“What a GREAT dinner! Met friends here on a late Friday night and they fit us in. The sushi was fresh and so tasty, definitely the best I’ve had in a LONG time. The drinks were amazing, try a version of their old fashioned but so many different drinks to choose from. Our server Christine was so attentive & sweet. We felt the service was 10/10! I recommend the wagyu dumplings and Geisha roll!“

“Very good environment and food!“

“Owners are awesome. Food was great. Very clean. The shopping center is a little older and made me think twice but absolutely worth it. Had the chef prepare his favorite so can't remember what it was but fresh and flavorful! Will go back. Great small business.“

“This place is easily one of the best sushi spots on 2nd street, delicious options with plentiful portions. I tried the Mexican, AAA roll and the deep fried California roll with all 3 being stellar. The atmosphere is lively and the greeting when you walk in from the sushi chefs is nice ?

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu portion has 4 different options, basic chicken with veggies and rice being one of them.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs (:“

“This is one of the best and only place we like to go. They are very friendly and best fresh sushi all around. it really feels like a small family enviroment“

“We were seated right away and I really liked how they allowed one of us to do Premium ayce and the other person to do regular ayce, it helped a lot with the flexibility in choosing both of dining experiences but sharing them together. Service was attentive and fast, we waited no more than 10 minutes after putting in our order for another round of food. The nigiri was fantastic, wasabi dots, ponzu and yuzu sauce that goes with the cuts of fish add a lot more to it. Also if you go during lunch time (up to 3pm) the prices are fairly good. Overall would highly recommend, I do wish some of the nigiri didn’t come with the specific sauce, and that the fish could be enjoyed simply without anything added on, still really great quality cuts. Normally I don’t like seared black pepper nigiri but here I loved it, the snow crab was also amazing. You also get a free large vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate syrup if you leave a yelp review, pretty cool. Highly recommend if you love ayce sushi.“

“service and the food was excellent our waitress Sherry bear was awesome“

“The staff are friendly. We enjoyed the Kitchen boat. The garlic fried rice with chicken was very good and tasted similar to hibachi fried rice. Brought my young nephews and they enjoyed the beef and chicken teriyaki. Will definitely come again and will try other sushi and noodles dishes.“

“so far everything I've tried has been delicious!“

“We've been going here for years, especially during Covid. Needed to make sure that this small business stayed open, owners are very nice and make delicious food!

Wheelchair accessibility: Very roomy for wheelchairs, no stairs anywhere.“

“I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE FOOD, IS ALWAYS GOOD. I STOP FOR MY LUNCH ON A FRIDAY AND I ORDER MY FOOD, THE CASHIER LADY FORGOT TO ASK ME IF MY FOOD WAS FOR HERE OR TO TAKE OUT AND EITHER I
SO, THEY PACK MY FOOD TOGO BUT I SAT DOWN AND EAT THERE, THEM I WENT TO THE REGISTER TO ASK FOR A SPOON.

THATS WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT I CANT EAT THERE.

I FOUND THAT VERY RUDE, BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR OWN FOOD AND DINING ROOM WAS EMPTY.

VERY DISAPPOINTED.“

“Tried this place a few months ago and my husband and I are HOOKED!! You can tell chicken is good quality and the beef is sooo tender!! Trying out a couple sushi rolls today, super excited!! Oh, and they also have a phone number loyalty rewards as well! Don't forget to punch in that number @ checkout!! ??????“

“I am a frequent visitor of the Uptown Whittier location and absolutely love it. I recently moved down to a new neighborhood and coincidentally found their sister location very nearby. The menus are very different, but the quality is still the same top tier that you'd expect. I was impressed with the price and quality of their pork belly skewers. Only $4 for high-quality pork belly skewers is insane! I loved everything I ordered and the service was great. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

Parking: More than sufficient amount of parking

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheel chair accessible.“

“Fish was relatively fresh and big portions, of good quality. Some of the pieces were blowtorched, which is a nice touch. The quality of the rice in the sushi is also good (and very important but no one ever talks about it). Friendly service and spacious venue. I was gonna say it was a bit pricey, but to be fair everything is pricey nowadays so it's probably avg priced. Just budget accordingly.“

“So good!!! A must when in Orange County!“

“I’ve had the Hamachi W/ Cilantro, Jalapeño, & Ponzu… it’s so good! All the other sushi’s are delicious. The fish is fresh and tastes so good, and the Miso Salmon bowl is tasty. Definitely the best sushi I’ve had in LB and LA since moving here 5 years ago. I’ve only had delivery, one day I’ll dine in.“

“Great service,friendly staff the food was beyond comprehension it was like God blessed the meat himself along with the sushi it's as of the chef had the most soft and gentle hands on how delinquent the sushi was made this place is a must go 10 out of 10“

“I came here after visiting another ginko katsu in diamond bar because it was so good when I had it there. I was a little disappointed with the bento boxes, they weren't as good. the other location came with more side dishes+ pickled veggies. while it's probably really good standalone, i was kind of disappointed that it wasn't up to the same level as the other location :( however the atmosphere and staff is perfect!!“

“Delicious quality food and the service is very nice and welcoming.“

“Here is my favorite sushi restaurant.

First, the chef is friendly, and most importantly, the reasonably priced rolls and sushi are very satisfying.

I ordered based on the server's recommendations, and overall, I was pleased with the dishes. Although I couldn't take a picture, you must try the langostino baked roll!!!“

“This place really took me by surprise. I thought it was going to be a decent experience for the pricing. I tried and was not disappointed. This place is actually pretty fire ? if you’re an omakase eater. Most of the cooked dishes were surprisingly bomb ?. So I give this a place a recommendation for being in GG.“

“The Current offers a lot of convenience with its prime location in the middle of DTLB. The connected retailers, including Hi-Lo Liquor, Qargo coffee, Sushi Beluga, and BMore Pizza, make everyday errands and dining out incredibly convenient. The amenities are outstanding. I can enjoy a relaxing day at the beautiful 4th-floor terrace or take a dip in the pool on the 17th floor, both offering great spots to unwind and take in the views. Additionally, The Current hosts a variety of events, from the big Grand Prix party to smaller gatherings like yoga on the 17th floor, which adds a vibrant and engaging community feel to the place. The staff at The Current, particularly Raelle and Denisse, always make me feel welcomed and valued. Their friendliness and attentiveness greatly enhance the living experience, making it feel like home. Overall, The Current offers an exceptional living environment with its convenient location, excellent amenities, and welcoming staff. Highly recommended!“

“Highly recommend! Great for the whole family. The server was super nice and the food was delicious! We ordered the burrito way and the baked Alaska. Excellent. The fish melted in the mouth and the sauces were yummy. Great presentation too. The kids had tamago. They always like the sweet egg sushi.

Kid-friendliness: I always see family with kids here. And my kids eat their food. All good.“

“This is a jewel of a place, it's on the southside of the street on Whittier Blvd about a quarter mile west of Beach blvd. Their sushi rolls are excellent and their prices are a bit lower than other sushi places who overcharge for the same faire.
Gunn, the proprietor is the nicest guy and he's humorous and goes out of his way to make you feel welcome every time you come in. The best tasting sushi in the area!

Parking: Parking is easy and open“

“We are traveling on our honeymoon and stumbled upon this restaurant by chance. The guy who served us is extremely kind and nice. He responded courteously to all our doubts or questions. The food is spectacular, the kobe meat is excellent and the miso soup very tasty. The soy sauce is in a very good variant that goes perfectly with rice and meat. We really enjoyed this fusion cuisine. Highly recommended!“

“Muy amigables todos y la cómoda esta deliciosa .“

“Best Japanese Food in Whittier“

“Everything was amazing! Loved the hot Vegas roll tuna nacho appetizer, rainbow roll and thick pieces of tuna sashimi. This was the best, I’m definitely coming back for more and amazing service.

Vegetarian options: Veggie tempura steamed veggies and more“

“I come here often with my friend, we absolutely love their food. Everything we have tried is an absolute 10/10. The dinning experience is very clean and plays good upbeat music. However they owners can be very busy not big chit chatters. But I continue to come back because the food is very delicious!“

“Just stopped by here for lunch for my kiddos and I and I’m so glad we did it was delicious! I got a teriyaki bowl with veggies. I’ve been to different teriyaki places and this has to be my top favorite now! Very fresh and flavorful the place is very clean Inside, and the employees were very sweet. Definitely give this place a try if you’re craving a teriyaki bowl.“

“Quality fresh food for a cheap price! Located next to Starbucks and Subway, this place is owned by a very sweet family. I would definitely recommend getting the chicken beef plate, but everything on their menu is delicious. Support local businesses during this rough time!“

“Delicious food, great preparation and presentation!“

“My wife and I love coming here to eat! The place always has such a chill vibe! The food is delicious and affordable! The service is always on point, and the staff are extremely friendly! The music is always a great level where you can both enjoy listening to it but talk at you at the without being loud! Highly recommend this place for a date night!“

“Great location. I wasn't expecting much from this spot as I had never been here before. However I was pleasantly surprised with the depth of flavor and quality of the food as I received my chicken teriyaki bowl. Keep up the good work!“

“Definitely one for the Foodie BucketList here in Orange County ?Perfect ? for the sushi lover you know…Post a review for a complimentary ? Gyoza and Video on Bucket List Coach Web Show Facebook and Instagram Love the Golden Tiger Thanks “

“For appetizers, we had mango coconut scallops, salmon tacos, and seared salmon. They exceeded our expectation!!! The grilled meat was also good. We had sakura pork belly (unexpectedly good and didn't need the deeping sauce at all), hanger steak, and garlic beef. The bone marrow kimchi fried rice was good but a little heavy and salty for my taste. Service was fast and attentive. He made good recommendations that helped us enjoy our first time at the restaurant ?‍↕️?“

“The best BBQ in LA as they claimed. Everything can be cut with a fork, better yet you dont even need a fork at all. The meats are so juicy and not flooded with BBQ sauce they give you a side to add as you please. Highly recommend this place and I'll be back with the Team! 3 Meat Hungry man “

“If I could choose a meal to eat for the rest of my life I would say this is it! I’m from Utah, was in town for a couple of days and I always crave Hibachi. Utahs food is boring, bland and flavorless. Found this spot as I was rolling through Long Beach and decided to stop. The lady at the counter was super nice and welcoming! My order was done pretty quick and did not have to wait long. She offered to open my bottles Coke as well. The food was awesome and flavorful! If I’m out this way again I’ll definitely stop by! ???????“

“I will definitely recommend this place. The food is excellent, and the price is very affordable. Even on these days where everywhere else try to cut on portions, here you will get very satisfied. The staff is always friendly. I will definitely stop by again.“

“place was fantastic! will recommend for ever!“

“First time ordering here. Simple Japanese food, great for take out. We got Grilled Salmon and Ckn(white meat)Katsu Bento. Also some side dishes. Kinpira Gobo, Nishime and Ckn(dark meat) Karaage. Flavor is pretty legit, like old school Bento. Kinpira Gobo was abit on the too sweet, too soft side. Was excited about Tofu nuggets, but was not crispy as I imagined... more like Nimono. Overall recommend for lunch/dinner take out. No bathroom to use in the small seats restaurant. Potato salad tho... bomb! ?

Parking: Its in a very small plaza with 7/11 and other businesses like Ramen restaurant. Might be difficult to find free parking in the front.“

“The chicken teriyaki is bomb!“

“Great food with good prices“
