And it is on the small side.Vegetarian options: They did have some vegetarian options, enough for a few choicesParking: Parking is difficult on the street but there are parking lots behind the shopsKid-friendliness: It's a family friendly areaWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“First visit here. Absolutely loved it. The albacore sashimi should really be renamed a carpaccio. Thinly sliced premium seared albacore with a tangy delicious ponzu sauce. With more than 10 slices, it's the perfect delicacy to share with someone special. Everything else here was super fresh and tasty. The ambience is dark & comfy and the customer service was friendly, quick & efficient. I found my new favorite spot for sushi.“
“The sushi here is to die for!!!! We moved about 45 minutes away and when ever we crave sushi we will make the drive. I have yet to find a sushi restaurant near me that comes even close to Osaka Story! My husband and I make sure we come once a month. My husband love the quality, atmosphere, customer service, and the amazing people that work here. Thank you Reyna and the rest of Osaka story crew!“
“I ordered the Garlic Edamame, Double Crunchy Roll, and Mango Tango. Absolutely everything was delicious. It’s a nice little mom and pop restaurant that you cannot pass up. This was probably one of the best sushi spots I’ve tried in a while!“
“Yuli was the best!!!The food and cocktails never disappoint here. We had an amazing dinner with the best waitress Yuli. We just loved her, she provided outstanding service with a warm and welcoming demeanor. She demonstrated excellent knowledge of the menu, offering recommendations and accommodating special requests with ease. Overall, her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail truly enhanced our dining experience. She's a true asset to the restaurant!“
“It's giving Michelin star... I come here about once a week and the fish never fails! Always fresh and the customer service is amazing. Wendy is my absolute favorite. Only bummer is that they don't open until 5 PM even on the weekends. Reservations recommended!“
“Came here with my friends after Sake2Me had closed down their waitlist, but honestly I don't regret it one bit. We had a great time here with their service and quality of fish! The AYCE Sushi price here is $42.99 for the regular menu options. I honestly think that's enough choices for that price. Food takes a bit to come out and comes out sporadically. The quality of the fish was enough to make it worth it. We gobbled up every round so quick! I have to come back here whenever I'm craving good sushi in LB.“
“We recently moved to Lakewood. Normally we have sushi in J-Town or Torrance, but we don't really want to drive too far. We had sushi at a spot in Lakewood a month ago, but it was terrible. A relative recommended this place, and I have to say, I was skeptical. Anyway, we came at around 7:30pm on a Saturday. Parking was not too easy, but luckily we found street parking nearby. The interior is really well done. We could immediately tell that there is major customer loyalty, since I believe it is the owner that greets everyone and there were a lot of regulars. The servers are very friendly and attentive. I was very surprised that they had a great selection of fish (great fish) and even had ankimo (monkfish liver) and natto (fermented soybeans) too. The salmon skin salad also is the best salad I have ever had! We loved everything about this really great place and definitely will be back soon!“
“Everything I have ordered has been top notch and when I order I never doubt what I get will be something that will beat my expectations. I love going here when I am looking for a good variety of sushi. I have gotten many of the rolls to share with my family and different combos that really work well together. Also they offer a great selection of extras, and great packaging for very good prices makes it the best place to choose in the area.“
“Hadn’t been here in years. Have no idea why I’ve deprived myself of such great food!! Can’t beat the sunrise roll. Albacore sashimi was fresh and buttery. Staff was friendly and quick to seat and serve us. Love the art on the wall. Even background music was enjoyable. Great place for date night. Def adding back to our date night list!“
“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 food is still spectacular I have been coming here since my friend brought me back in 2013. I obviously have my favorites, but I've tried a good majority of the plates and I'm never disappointed. A total of 4 of us came with my 2yr old that fell asleep. Without even asking the staff accommodated us by seating us in the enclosed outdoor area (it's quieter there than inside) and turned on the heater without being asked. Extremely attentive staff checking in on us (we never felt forgotten outside). If you need sushi recommendations we had the Call Me Babe, Earthquake, Dragon Tear, and non spicy garlic edamame all options are delicious.“
“This is my go to place when craving ramen and sushi. It is a small place but clean, the food is good, service is fast, and price is reasonable. The owner and staff are very friendly.This place is located in the parking area of Northgate Lincoln and Knott.“
“We've been wanting to try this new restaurant and finally came by. I will say you will not regret it. The food is fresh and delicious. Flavors are on point and service is great. Plenty of parking. Ambiance is great. We'll definitely be back to try new plates. Michelada was yummy.“
“Went strolling around Seal Beach and decided to find a place to eat. The place looked clean, quiet and inviting so we dined here for lunch. We were greeted with friendly smiles. We sat near the window where you can see people walk by and still be feeling privately seated. I had the salmon teriyaki. It came with salad and miso soup. The salmon's cooked perfectly. Crunchy skin, moist salmon and flavored just right. The salad, though small, was dressed appropriately. The salad dressing very yummy. The miso soup with tofu and seaweed was spot on. Truly not from a packet. My partner ordered the yaki soba. Very reminiscent of our tours in Japan. Brought us back to the little shops of Tokyo. Ate here without the guidance of Yelp and luckily, when I checked on the reviews here, it had five stars. We chose great!“
“Great costumes service and pricing, the place is livened up by the j pop playing in the background along with h other songs. The customer service was great I was served by Mrs. Maddy and had great service by her ( she deserves a raise probably 10/10 waiter). The chefs greatest us at the entrance.“
“I definitely loved it. The second time going, I will definitely be going more often. The food is always so good, I had the takoyaki, the crispy tuna rice cakes, the baked crawfish roll, and the scallop roll. I had their green jasmine hot tea, I can't wait to try some other dishes.“
“I recently dined at this exceptional sushi restaurant, and it exceeded all expectations. The quality of the fish was impeccable, and each dish was a masterpiece of flavors. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing meal, and the staff was attentive and knowledgeable. From the presentation to the taste, every aspect of the dining experience was top-notch. I highly recommend this place to any sushi enthusiast - a true gem in the world of Japanese cuisine!“
“Surprisingly really loved the crunch roll ! The shrimp on top was fried in the same seasoned batter & really added a nice taste! The pieces of sole I ordered were very thin however i think If i didn't request for them to be "fried hard" it would've been ok, so that's on me. Would def try again :)“
“Found a new go to Sushi Joint!!! Great food. The smell of fish hit me when we walked in, which concerned me initially, but food/fish quality was excellent. Menu requires a magnifying glass, but once you get what you order you'll be more than pleased!!!“
“Good food. Really fresh. No pictures but the eel and rice bowl and ceviche rolls were super. Macaroon ice cream is super fresh, not too hard. If you’re in the area you know the area. lol. Street walkers around. Vividly. But the food and service is good. Whether you like the view or not it’s there??food price are reasonable. Portions are big.“
“When I'm in Long Beach it's Ramen Hub....their Tonkatsu Ramen is off the chain...the pork broth is key and I can taste it was made with lots of love. come in and check it out for yourself. the menu is excellent just like the service.“
“Our first time here at Umi's AYCE Sushi and I never had the opportunity to eat at Joe's Sushi so I can't give the comparison review. The best part of lunch was the service. Our server was wonderful. She was very patient and gave a great explanation to the rules of the ayce option. As for the AYCE sushi menu, it was very average. Of the sushi, rolls and appetizers I ordered, there was nothing that stood out as spectacular. Other than the nigiri sushi, everything else had a lot of sauces and filled with a lot of spicy tuna or imitation crab. For the $33.99 price during lunch, I don't think I fully got my monies worth. During the time we went wasn't busy so it was fairly quiet and not a lot of people so we were well attended to. It was nice to finally give this place a try, but I think it's a one and done.“
“Little hole in the wall. Never new this place existed until I googled sushi places near me. Tried it for the first time. Their sushi is very delicious!! Very good deals too. Buy 2 get 1 free. Super yummy, have lots of flavors. Service was good. Am definitely going back to try more of their deliciousness.“
“We recommend this place 10000%We live in San Diego, California and we came to Los Angeles to vacation and we were looking for a seafood place and we found this restaurant, which honestly did not disappoint. The service is very excellent from the moment you enter until you leave, everything is very good. The customer service and first impression was phenomenal. The waiter was very friendly and attentive, had very good knowledge of the menu and was very kind to us. The lemonade that my niece ordered is very good and refreshing natural. The seafood we ordered tasted super fresh. The Dynamite roll was my favorite as well as the red aguachile. We were fascinated by everything and this is definitely going to be the first place we come to eat every time we visit Los Angeles!“
“This is my 3rd time going to eat dinner there and so far I have not been disappointed. The sushi still delicious and the service fast and friendly. Today I took my sister for the first time for her birthday and she like it. Also our waiter surprised my sister with ice cream for her birthday that was so sweet of them.“
“The serving size is worth the affordable sushi prices compared to other sushi places. The quality might not always be the best, but it hits the spot whenever I'm craving sushi and don't feel like spending more than $20 with their BOGO 50% off deal.“
“Owner and staff were super courteous. We came in 30 minutes before closing with a rather large order. They did not bat an eye. We sat and ate comfortably. The owner told us to take our time. The food was top notch. The fish was super fresh. The sauces were super flavorful. I am glad I found this place. Best sushi I have had in a long time.“
“Loved the food, service, and environment here! The sushi was made fresh and every roll was so delicious. The service was extremely welcoming. We had the mushroom bomb, tuna and salmon sashimi, spicy tuna roll, and more. I recommend dipping the sushi with gochujang and soy sauce if you like something spicier, because I loved it. I recommend getting the fried tempura green tea ice cream. It reminds me of Taiyaki ice cream. I loved this hidden gem and would definitely come back.“
“Fun Sushi bar scene, but also capable of authentic, traditional Èdomaè Sushi. ? Nice selection of ultra premium Sakè (sah keh) to pair perfectly with high end Japanese cuisine. Sushi chefs are actually from Japan so you know you're getting the "Real McCoy".Of course, Koi will also make "American" Sushi rolls using mayo, sriracha, "eel sauce", Tempura flakes all at once if so desired for the uninitiated. Park in their own parking lot or street parking.“
“Very local to home. Walking distance close. Not sure why we don't frequent more often. The staff is super friendly. Place is always clean and inviting. Had the chicken teriyaki and the Beef Bulgogi. Both we super tasty. Give this local biz a visit and your tummy will be happy.“
“they're open pretty late, really fresh and well made sushi... their spicy mayo is good, i ordered the philadelphia roll and salmon sake. decent price too. clean hygienic utensils, huge water bottle that’s nice and cold served in a metal cup. comes with a miso soup 5/5 will be coming back !“
“Can’t beat the price Abe the outstanding quality of sushi! All you can eat for $40 dinner, lunch if cheaper. You get 3 rounds and they give you 90 minutes!! What more can you ask for? Double check what you ask for on the order because they may “forget” to order everything you ask for. The check in process is perfect. Check in on Yelp and your set. Parking might be a challenge. This will be my new place for sushi!!“
“Today I went to sushi Kinoya because of a recommendation from my math teacher.I tried the Baked Eel Roll, and everything was very fresh, and they put a very good amount of Eel. I give it a 9/10 excellent.The atmosphere was very nice and relaxed, and the servers were very good. I will be taking friends here and I recommend coming and trying this joint out.“
“Place is ok, there are so many better places though! I would eat here if I didn’t want to go out too far. Black garlic ramen was seriously lacking flavor but the udon was good. Sushi was standard and the hoedeopbap was tasty, just didn’t have much fish. Maybe I’ve been spoiled but service was poor. Girl was trying to talk to me across a loud room and ordering was slow. It was only her working this particular evening so it might have been overwhelming. We were told at 9:10 that they closed at 9:15 (nicely told us to gtfo), but we were confused because google says they close at 9:30. Didn’t matter too much because we were about done anyways. Despite the negatives, definitely give it a try, palettes are always different. It wasn’t so bad that I wouldn’t come here again, could’ve been a one-off night and I always like to give establishments another shot.“
“Very cute place! Great food and amazing service. There is music, you can pick the music, the portions are very generous. There is also the option for full and small portions. You'll feel like a grandparent insisted on feeding you during a visit. Limited seating but a great place for pick up or delivery. They open early at 7am and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Korean drinks, Mexican drinks and soft drink/juices available. Delicious deserts are also available at full and half portions.Parking: Plenty of free parking.with spots designated for the restaurantKid-friendliness: Music, small portions for children or those using portion control.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide sidewalks and close free parking right in front of the restaurant“
“Our favorite Sushi place! Our girls love No. 17 White Alaska Roll and I like No. 2 Rainbow Roll. No place can't beat their price and still will fill you up. All menus are freshly made upon your order. So delicious and healthy! I truly recommend this place for Moms who need to-go lunch or dinner for their family. They also offer catering menus.“
“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.“
“Cozy sushi spot with a huge variety of sushi choices. Even the Bento box offered a couple sushi choices vs just chicken, beef, salmon. Downside was the service was pretty bad. Hopefully it was a fluke day because I plan on going back to give it another try. My guests food came before mine...the table next to us that arrived quite a bit after us, got their food before me. Not sure how their communication failed but it did. I hope to do a new review next time I'm there and hopefully the service is more efficient. ?“
“This one of my favorite sushi restaurant. I like the friendly environment here and also the music. I always order sunrise, mango no5 and my favorite one is Panic Attack. And I also like salmon and eel of this restaurant. Tommy and Ono is the best sushi chef I have ever met. And the service also very good too. I will definitely come back to eat at this restaurant many more time for sure.“
“Great location literally down the street so makes for a convenient walk for lunch. Tried the spicy ramen and went with the fav chicken teriyaki plate. Overall the spicy ramen had enough kick but not an excessively hot burn. Scallions and sprouts and half a hard boiled egg. Over all mid of the road. But cannot beat the cost to value. Teriyaki chicken is always good. The staff is super nice and service s quick. The location is busy and although small not crowded. You will enjoy !“
“Always enjoy going to Kyoto, but especially this location. Our entire family came to celebrate a birthday and it's great that this location has long tables to accommodate around 11 people. The restaurant is clean and well kept. The staff is very friendly and helpful too. It wasn't a busy night when we went , so our orders came out quite quickly. We ordered the Spider Rolls, Yellow tail sushi, calamari, Tonkatsu ramen and bell peppers that are on their appetizer list. Everything we ordered was tasty and fresh. Will definitely come back again.“
“Soooo good! Lots of choices. Fast service in bringing out the food. I was sooo hungry when we finally got in. The wait was a little long but it was worth it. Our server was also very good Aaron. He always came back to check if we were doing ok. Definitely something I would recommend. I'll be back soon.“
“Excellent service begins the minute you arrive. I was greeted with a welcoming smile. Then there's the food! The daily specials fit the budget and the appetite. Delicious meals that satisfy far beyond expectations. Prices are reasonable, service is on point, and the environment is welcoming. I recommend this place for a good meal.“
“This place is AMAZING. The customer service is exceptional and the food is GREAT. Their California Rolls are some of the best California Rolls I've ever had and I catch myself coming back here consistently for 20 or even 40 pieces. Their Beef Teriyaki Plate is amazing as well, tons of meat and tons of rice for a good price.“
“A family owned restaurant located in the Hannam Chain market that produces some of the best rolls around. The secret to great sushi all starts with the rice. It needs to be perfectly cooked - too much water and it mushes in your mouth; not enough water and it’s crunchy and highly unpleasant. Their rice is the perfect balance. Each grain is perfectly cooked and holds its own in your mouth. Ingredients are always fresh and beautifully presented. Consistent high quality food and service keeps me coming back for more. Thanks Haru Sushi for my happy belly.Vegetarian options: There are veggie rolls with fresh avocado and tofu.Dietary restrictions: For carb conscious or diabetic folks, they can make any of their dishes rice-free.Parking: Depending on the day and time, parking is not an issue.Kid-friendliness: Lots of room for kids to run around.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly with lots of space.“
“Been here 2 times on the last month. Good value and passable food.Prices are reasonable BUT both times ordered sushi either bad quality fish or the sushi chef does not know how the cut fish so it's not tough to eat or hard to chewA good cut of raw fish should slide into your mouth and almost to desolve by itself. Very much like getting a tough cut of steak and cross cutting it making it worse.They do have a full menu with options of fish noodles ramen us on typical combination plates.The baked mussels in shell are a must try here a nice hot tasty appetizer“
“I ordered takeout at Blue Bird Haus on a Friday evening. I ordered online and received quick confirmation and my order was ready fairly quickly as well. It's surprisingly difficult to find sushi places that serve vegan rolls other than avocado/cucumber rolls. Blue Bird Haus has a wonderful selection of vegan rolls, ramen, and appetizers, and more. I ordered the V-Alaskan roll and veggie egg rolls. It was so delicious and filling. FYI it does come with pickled ginger and wasabi and the V-Alaskan is 8 rolls. While delicious, it is pretty expensive but that's to be expected as plant-based alternatives are usually pricey. Either way, this place is delicious and I definitely recommend it.Vegetarian options: There is a vegan section of the menu available online and in the restaurant.“
“I wanted ramen but didn’t want to drive too far so I looked up ramen near me. Decided to give this place a try and I was impressed! Spicy tonkotsu ramen was so good! As well as the crunch roll. It’s always the low key places that have amazing food!“
