50 Best Sushi Bars near Carson

“This place has a buy 2 get 1 free on their specialty rolls. Such a great deal! The sushi is pretty good. I come here often for quick takeout and occasional dine-in. They are friendly. There are a few tables available but it is more of a walk up and order type of thing. You dont have a waiter, but they will bring your food to you. Drinks are bottles, not in cup and if you want water you can fill a cup from the dispenser.“

“Waka Sakura sushi fun, food order slides down conveyor belt. Saturday 3p wait at 25 minutes much better than original 1 hour forecast. Nigiri combo plates good to compare tastes. Hand rolls on menu, no need to special order. Wide ranging menu, sushi classics and more.“

“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!“

“second time back since Sept 2023 ~

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

“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.“

“I got the oyakodon set and it was such an elaborate meal, I felt like a queen. The oyakodon was so comforting and I really enjoy the fresh fish and tofu/beef sides!! I was also in a rush but the servers were kind enough to get me in and out in a jiffy :) Will be back!!“

“美味しゅうございました！“

“By far the best sushi I’ve ever had! The quality here is unmatched—the sushi is extremely fresh and cannot be beat. I ordered the Rainbow Roll, and it was made to absolute perfection with beautiful presentation and incredible flavor.

Not only was the sushi outstanding, but the Udon noodles were unbeatable—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. This place really delivers on taste, quality, and overall experience.

I will definitely be back in the future. If you’re a sushi lover, Sushi Island is a must-try!“

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

“We had a really nice experience here! We tried the coconut chicken soup, and it was good, but the spice level was pretty mild. I love spicy food, so I was hoping for more of a kick :(
but it was still flavorful.

The pineapple fried rice and sushi were both yummy .
The waiter was also very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better.

Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back again☺️“

“Finding an authentic sushi spot in the US run by a Japanese chef feels increasingly rare these days. While I don't believe a chef's nationality strictly dictates their capability—by that logic, only French people could cook French food—the scarcity of these traditional spots made me search even harder. That extra effort led me to Toshi Sushi in Gardena, and it was entirely worth it.

I have visited twice now, both times for Saturday lunch. A huge plus was that it wasn’t overwhelmingly busy, allowing for a remarkably peaceful and relaxed dining experience. On both occasions, the ingredients were incredibly fresh, and every plate felt meticulously prepared. They even garnish the dishes with beautiful Hawaiian flowers, which the staff thoughtfully let us know are completely edible.

Sometimes, hyper-traditional spots can be a bit too conservative with their portions of wasabi and ginger, but Toshi Sushi provides a generous amount. It’s a smart, necessary adjustment to cater to the American palate, and it made the meal much more enjoyable without the need to constantly ask for refills.

However, the exact moment I knew this place truly cared about quality came down to a single, overlooked detail: the soy sauce. Real soy sauce should always be refrigerated to preserve its true flavor profile, yet countless sushi joints leave it sitting out on tables at room temperature for weeks, simply topping off the bottles. At Toshi Sushi, the second we placed our order, they brought out a chilled bottle of soy sauce straight from the fridge. Absolute respect. That standard alone speaks volumes about their discipline.

I will definitely be heading back soon, and I'm already planning to feature this hidden gem in an upcoming review video. If you appreciate genuine quality and strict attention to detail, Toshi Sushi is highly recommended.“

“Friendly, clean, fast, and oh so good...
They made the inside look like the outside, im guessing thats what restaurants are doing now....
I took my 2 year old with us for dinner and she enjoyed the teriyaki bowl and calamari.“

“We love Yanagi. Fabulous and fresh sushi, great service and there always seems to be a table for us. My tiny humans, age 10 and 7, love their sushi. At Yanagi, they are always well taken care of.“

“Izakaya Ringo exceeded my expectations! Their fish was so fresh and melted in my mouth. Everything was reasonably priced and the service was incredibly kind and hospitable! Our waitress even asked if she should turn down the a/c after I put my jacket on. We will definitely be returning for more delicious food and vibes! Thank you!“

“Great service, friendly staff and the owner, Paul, showed warm hospitality. The prices were great and the quality of the food will definitely have me going back!“

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

“this place is fire. good quality fish. incredible combinations (uni, toro,) i’ve been hesitant to leave a review because i dont want this place to get too crowded and wont be able to get a seat. way better than kazunori or any other hand roll spot in the area“

“good sushi and locally owned“

“Great creative sushi rolls. Excellent service.“

“I've tried a bit of sushi in the area and this might be my new favorite.

I've had Waka Sakura in the Tokyo Central Gardena and the BluFish in Torrance. Those have their time and place but if you want high quality fish with a mom and pop feel, this is the spot. It's also been around 22 years at the time of my review!

Everything is a la carte and you know it's a solid place when there's no rolls loaded with crab meat, cream cheese and spicy versions of everything (aka when they try to get rid of past fish).

First I got salmon, fatty tuna and Japanese mackerel. Delightful all around (but I'd skip the salmon to have more of the other two). This cost $7-9/each fish and they come with two pieces per order.

Next - sea eel tempura ($12). A simple crispy treat and a change up from the usual shrimp or vegetable tempura. I probably wouldn't get again but it was nice to try!

The steamed egg custard is the cutest little dollop of sunshine. I would end or start the meal with it since it's a nice palate cleanser ($6). It comes hot. Be careful #experience

My last round of fish was seabream (my first time and it was sooo soft/buttery), Spanish mackarel, and sea eel. Like the other round $7-9 each for an order of two. I liked the saltiness of the Japanese mackarel better personally.

Great meal and I'm already making mental notes for things I want to try next time.“

“An absolute hidden gem! We drove all the way from Santa Monica for a fun night out and were blown away by how exceptional the sushi was. Every bite felt like a surprise — the fish is incredibly fresh, the hand rolls are a must-try, and the sushi rice is easily the best we’ve ever had. For the quality you get, the prices are unbeatable. This spot is top-notch in every way, and we’ll definitely be coming back again and again.“

“Some of the best sushi in LB. Took pictures of everything mentioned in asterisks below:) Got takeout via Doordash but they have their own site/app with a delivery option ill have to try out.

*Tuna Sushi Special* and the *Miso Soup* are my classic go to's and they are always flavorful and fresh. Spicy Tuna is mixed with Sriracha, sesame oil, and sugar instead of spicy mayo and I LOVE that. *Garlic Tuna Tataki Special* is AMAZING, so delicious, expensive but worth it. *Dumplings with Spicy Garlic Sauce* is BOMB AF, so fresh and full of flavor, love it. Extra Ginger is free so I always get it. *Extra Spicy Ponzu* is the best homemade sauce they have and is so worth the $0.25.“

“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.“

“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“

“Best place in town! Thank you Yoshisan! 💙 he’s BIG DODGER FAN LIKE ME! DODGER MEMORABILIA GALORE IN SMALL RESTAURANT!💙⚾️🤙“

“I came all the way from Highland Park (near Dodger Stadium) to check it out. I’m glad I did! They have limited yet free parking (plaza parking). The food is delicious and affordable. Their portions are nice too. The staff are friendly and the environment is authentic yet modern. The music is great and not too loud.“

“Great service, Good food. :)“

“Tried Trave Sushi and everything was so fresh and delicious. We ordered rolls and they were honestly really good. great quality and flavor. We came about an hour before closing and they still sat us right away with no attitude which I really appreciated.

Customer service was great too we spoke with Frank, super friendly and made the experience even better. The spot is very takeout friendly but still comfortable if you dine in.

I also loved that they have options for people who don’t like fish, like veggie rolls and beef rolls. We got the King Kong roll and it was huge and sooo good.

Only small downside is they don’t have fountain drinks, but honestly the food and service made up for it. Everything we tried was delicious and we’ll definitely be back!“

“Friendly sushi chef and staff Fresh sushi and tasty kitchen food Highly recommend“

“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.“

“Always wanted to try this sushi place. Just used its app to order ahead and pay, then pick up at the scheduled time. It's a takeout only. No problem, my office is 1.5 miles drive away. Sashimi was very good, and scallop sushi is too. Will definitely revisit.“

“…up to date, elegant design. Spacious. Warm atmosphere. And most important- absolutely amazing food, beautifully arranged on the plates. Cheers to your chef! Not every restaurant in NYC can boast of a professional like the one you have!🥰“

“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!“

“Great food 🍱 and great service!! Really awesome place“

“Pricey but really enjoyed the food. The shrimp was some of the best shrimp I ve had. Good sushi overall, the Toro had some tissue that was not chewable which was a little dissapointing. The eggplant and urchin pasta were good too. The dinner version of the pasta is very rish and filling.“

“Tucked away with the unassuming charm of a neighborhood spot in Tokyo, this Japanese restaurant in Gardena distinguishes itself through its devotion to temaki, the hand-rolled sushi format that rewards both simplicity and precision. The menu offers dozens of variations, and the kitchen's command of the form lends the room an authenticity that feels less like a dining concept and more like a transplant.

Lunch is where the value shines. Set menus arrive with the expected miso soup and a modest side, grounding the meal without overreaching. I opted for the five-temaki selection at $26 and, rather than navigate the extensive list myself, deferred to the server's recommendations. All five arrived together, cones standing at attention, each one thoughtfully composed, the seaweed still crisp at the point of eating. It was the right call: a spread that suggested a kitchen confident enough to let its own judgment do the talking. This is my new special Japanese place.“

“great food,service and prices“
