“What a delightful SoCal omakase that I think stands out really well both for being fun and delicious.

Sushi Sonagi is located in a strip mall on Artesia Blvd. before you hit the 91 freeway and by the early evening when you arrive, parking seems to be plentiful.

Coming in, I was immediately greeted and given a reserved spot at the intimate sushi bar. The sushi bar itself is really fun and full of small LA-focused delights like a bobblehead of sports stars. And the music played old school 90's and early 00's jams.

Behind the counter is Chef Daniel Son who does a wonderful job guiding the whole journey with a super friendly and laidback attitude. I loved how the ingredients are not only from his travels in Japan but also locally from the Torrance Farmers Market where I go often myself. Also love the presentation from the plates to all of the techniques he uses that you get a first hand look at.

Drink-wise, they have carafes/bottles of sake as well as some beer options. I opted for one of the sake carafes which lasted me throughout the meal. The waitress that was serving the entire seating that night was also super funny and laid back as well along with being super attentive.

As most omakase menus, this one changes every season. Here were some of my personal favorites of our 18 courses:
*Flounder fin: One of the best sushi items we had that night. So buttery and delightful. Loved the explanation and conversations as well around some of the facts and challenges around serving this.
*Hanasaki dolsot bap: Such a clever and delicious take on the dolsot bap. It's presented beautifully with the crab shell and then portioned out to all the patrons. If you wanted extras, the Chef is more than willing to accommodate.
*Miso butter atsuyaki tamago: Loved this extra little oomph to the tamago with the miso butter. Again, just buttery smooth with a hint of sweetness. So good.
*Chawanmushi: His chawanmushi was a great use of local ingredients like the summer corn and ikura. Refreshing and playful.
*Scarlet shrimp: Absolutely delicious and delectable. A bright flavor.

At the end, not only do you get the full menu but a really cute handwritten card that was a really nice touch.

Cheers to Chef Son and his crew for a wonderful and delightful experience.“

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

“Some of the best food ever!!“

“This is my new GOTO sushi spot!!!
The atmosphere in here is beautiful.
The theme of the restaurant is 10/10 what I would expect! Nothing boring or plain like sugar fish.
You’re greeted by the sushi chefs when you come in- very sweet of them.
They’re actually Asian chefs- which I appreciate.
Came in for a walk in- which they accept. Around 8 pm and was seated immediately.

I ordered the baked salmon roll (my favorite)
Tsunami roll, was good just too many flavors- I still enjoyed it though. 8/10
Dragon roll- my second favorite 10/10
I went with my date and we got full! Payed around 46$ very reasonable price 10/10!

Will be returning!

Parking: Lots of parking at the plaza“

“I love mom and pop joints like this. The omakase, which was reasonably priced, was an amazing experience. Each offering was prepared masterfully.

This unassuming restaurant is located at the corner of a petite shopping plaza, so parking shouldn’t be too difficult. It’s best to make a reservation well in advance.“

“We love Sushi Time! It’s one of the best local sushi spots in Torrance. My wife and I will call in for pick up and it’s always so quick. We get the eel avocado roll all the time, easily the best sushi they have. We’ve tried the shrimp tempura too but the eel sauce is good. The wasabi is spicy but could definitely be spicier! All in all, highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for delicious sushi at a good price. Owners are really kind as well and sometimes give special service!!“

“美味しゅうございました！“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great creative sushi rolls. Excellent service.“

“Been coming here for years. I usually get the two item combo. The amount of food you get is filling. Food always tastes fresh. Here are the items I like: teriyaki chicken, tempura, salmon avocado rolls, spicy tuna rolls, and miso soup. I've tried other items and they were all good but I keep coming back to these. The place is clean and the service is friendly. Parking can be challenging during peak hours but I've always managed to find a spot. Give this place a try“

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

“My friend took me for lunch here. It's his regular place but it was my first time. So both of us ordered omakase meals. Kind of exciting since we don't know what we're going to get. The sushi was incredible. So good. The chef sure made excellent choices for us. Every time a plate comes out, the waiter would explain to us what we get. Very friendly and professional.

We had a great time. Definitely will come back for more omakase.“

“My second time here, 2 years since my first time. Everything was consistent to the last visit: from the atmosphere, to the food, to the service. I ordered my go to dish, the Premium Chirashi Bowl, which was absolutely fantastic, along with other small bites like the Garlic Spicy Edamame, Spicy Tuna Sticky Rice (highly recommend!), and Oyster Tempura. All the yummy food paired well with the Asahi draft. While I was eating, I noticed that every single customer commented to the chef while exiting such high remarks such as “fantastic,” “superior,” “very good!” I rarely hear this kind of feedback in other restaurants but I could not agree more. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The staff is very friendly here and the sushi was so fresh and delicious. I ordered 3 salmon rolls that were 4 pieces each and the fish was so rich. I also really loved the extra Hello Panda cookies they threw in which just happened to be my favorite. I will definitely be back for more! They might just be my new favorite sushi spot.“

“This is my new FAV place to eat for Lunch! I love the people here and the food is freshly made every time and always DELICIOUS! And you can't beat their prices in today's expensive Lunch market! I usually get the teriyaki plate with chicken and beef with extra rice! Delicious ? Tell them the guy with the cute Toy Poodle sent you! Come try Orange Teriyaki!“

“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!“

“Delicious sushi! Awesome service!“

“This is a little hidden gem in Gardena for boxed futomaki sushi that's been around since 1962!!!

Keep in mind, this is not your typical sushi with spicy tuna and nigiri. This is a certain tradition style of sushi with very well seasoned rice (vinegar) to keep it from spoiling. It's known as zoshi-sushi (pressed sushi).

The spot is run by ladies who look like they have been doing this for decades. The menu is super simple with just 6 different choices.

The rice here has plenty of vinegar so I can last and withstand the heat.

They offer mixed set boxes for a la carte create your own box sets. They also do bigger orders for parties and catering.

Everything here is absolutely delicious and reminds me of being back in Japan.

Trust me, try this traditional no frills spot for some of the best take out sushi.“

“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.“

“Food is amazing! Service is amazing too!“

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

“Love the Thai food and this time tried the ramen. The ramen here was so good!

Vegetarian options: Lots of dishes come with your option of meat, tofu or just vegetables.

Parking: Free parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchair accessibility is available near the restaurant“

“Really great Japanese restaurant. Miso soup is legit - brothy with lots of adds with seaweed, green onion and tofu. Super flavorful. Green tea is steep yourself in suoer hot water for the right depth of tea, and truly great flavor. Sushi (spicy tuna) was delish. So glad I took my car in for servicing down the street and needed a lunch place while I waited!“

“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.“

“good sushi and locally owned“

“This is a quick and quaint place. It's calming and inviting. Great for pick up on the way home. Perfect for a nice visit with a friend. Rolls are delicious and the pictures help with what I am ordering. Great place for a savory snack or filling meal. The staff are wonderful and helpful.“

“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.“

“Absolutely fabulous experience.

As soon as you walk in, you are met with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere befitting such a nice restaurant. The menu is full of variety, with classic staples like gyoza and tuna rolls while also featuring special dishes, with my personal favorite being the spider rolls, which are absolutely delicious. Service is quite fast and the owner is extremely welcoming to customers. It is clear that the owner really puts their heart into the food and makes it impossible not to enjoy the meals prepared for you.

Absolutely would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for an affordable and enjoyable meal.“

“Super delicious, and fresh, the staff is so friendly family owned business. The 1st time we went they gave us a complimentary dessert for being our 1st time. We have now been there a few times and always the same friendly service and delicious food. One of our favorites spots to go now.“

“If you are going to eat any sushi in Hermosa or Manhattan Beach it better be Fusion Sushi at Hermosa!!! We get the sushi blossom, yellow tail star roll, and dynamite roll, and ITS THE BEST TRIO EVER. Love the servers and the food is exceptional <3“

“An amazing "conveyor" belt sushi restaurant with high quality fish and great vibes. I use quotes because the belt is only used to deliver the food to your table as opposed to the rotating dishes. It's located inside of Tokyo central and there's gunna be a long wait for dinner but honestly.... it's such a great market to wander that you'll find the long wait to be fun.

Almost everything we ordered was delicious, mouth watering, and satisfying quality fish. The salmon quality is so butter smooth and I actually recommend the salmon party if that's your favorite type of fish.

Most items are decently priced and you can totally get full off of 30 bucks if you order the lower tier stuff. Service was quick and friendly.

Tip: You don't need to order on the tablet lol it'll get your arm tired from swiping the fixed screen. Just scan the QR code and order through your phone.

Food: 8/10
Atmosphere: 8/10
Value: 9/10
Service: 8/10“

“I randomly stopped in here to grab some take out. They were only going to be open for another 20 mins. They greeted me with smiles even though they were about to close. While waiting for my take out I noticed just how vibrant the environment was. And it all centered on the two main chefs at the front that night they were very energetic and full of laughs and smiles with the other customers. I will definitely try to come here more if my work schedule lets me.“

“I've lived in the South Bay my whole life, frequented many sushi places and to me, this is by far the best kept secret. Fish is amazingly fresh, and prices extremely reasonable. Service could not be better.This is not the place you order all the rolls with a bunch of different things, its where you order good sashimi and sushi. Their own Sake that they carry is actually good.This is the only sushi place we go to in the south bay now :).“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Service was excellent very friendly and beautiful view. Food was awesome.“

“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!“

“Great place to have lunch. I ate here around noon and it was not crowded. Very friendly Lead Chef!! I was seated at the bar next to him and he served me my order. The Spicy Yellow Tail Roll and Spicy Scallop Roll was amazing. I defenitely recommend this place. I hope to come have lunch here again soon.“

“Last minute dinner date and needed to find a Japanese sushi restaurant closeby in Torrance that opened past 8pm and found this place through Google Maps. Called them at lunchtime for a reservation which i got and they said that last food orders was 845pm so that was perfect.

Couldnt get the sushi bar but table seating was perfect and intimate. Our server was friendly and we ordered right away. Prices were a little on the high side but its a date so live a little?

Ordered a couple small appetizers and the Sushi Dinner deluxe for myself and the Sushi Omakase for my date that featured speciality fish of the day (chefs choice). Everything was fresh and high quality, delicious and authentic. Stayed still closing time and didnt feel rushed at all.....Thank you for such a nice memorable dinner for the both of us. ??Would recommend if in the area. 5 stars?“

“I just happened on this place while in California for work. Oh, my! The sushi was amazing! It was very busy! That tells a lot! The Rainbow Roll was recommended by a fellow who was waiting for a to-go order. It was great! I also had a spicy tuna roll and seaweed salad. Way too much food! I have never had a seaweed salad served with a large amount of lettuce and salad dressing. Not bad, but huge! I will be back!“

“Excellent place to eat and take away too!!! The waitress was very friendly and we ordered 4 rolls to try since it was the first time. We took the combo 3 rolls for 21, and lobster pop roll, they were super, very good flavor and well reported, it's more filling than rice ❤️ and we love that, it was to go but they gave us a delicious complimentary cherry flavor ice cream, delicious no We expected it and it was a ?we definitely recommend it. Super clean and welcoming and they are attentive to needs without feeling harassed. ??????“

“My family and I stayed at the Crystal casino hotel from my oldest sister's 32nd anniversary. The front desk receptionist Victoria was so lovely she helped my family with whatever we needed help with. She was very pleasant, patient, nice and displayed great customer service skills. We were there for 3 days and each day the continental breakfast was GREAT and had something different to eat each day plus waffles which were DELICIOUS. I would recommend the Crystal casino and hotel because great customer service, cleanliness, and a wonderful continental breakfast.“

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

“kinda pricey, but to be expected for a hotel restaurant. really yummy“
