This place is a great choice for ayce sushi. All the fish was high quality and very fresh. The owner was super friendly and accommodating. The store itself is very clean. I'll definitely be back for the AYCE sushi! Check out there new weekly specials! They had 1$ beer when we were there.

Great food, loved the dollar beers. Service was wonderful. The only complaint I have is that they tried to charge my 90 year old, 4 foot 9 mom for all you can eat when I told them she wasn't. Their response was that he didn't recall me saying that, but agreed not charge her... this time. The server said that next time the whole table has to do the same thing. I told them there won't be a next time. I'm glad they made it right, but an all or none policy is ridiculous.

Food is garbage, just over sugar for all sauces and service is garbage. Super-sweet sauces everywhere, trying to hide the taste of bad fish? Waitress Annie is very rude.

Went on a Sunday around 5:30 for a party of two and was seated with no wait. We ordered their AYCE Sushi menu for dinner and had their current $1 Sapporo Draft Beer deal.

Let me start with their strongest contenders and what I’d recommend you order - this sushi spot has very strong carpaccio, especially their salmon. The salmon carpaccio was extremely buttery and fatty. Their salmon nigiri was also extremely fresh, so their supplier is trustable. Their seaweed salad is crispy rather than soggy, and can be put in that same category of freshness. The yellowtail yuzu jalapeño is another great hit as the jalapeño helps balance out the fishiness of the yellowtail. The scallops were also well prepared in their sauce and the masago was salty and fresh.

Kitchen wise, Kairi does a really good job with their tempura battering. With both the Shrimp and Mixed Vegetable tempura, the battering is light and not too filling.

In between were their Shrimp, Ocean Trout, and Squid. For a great squid sashimi or nigiri I highly recommend Ginza Sushi in Torrance, but this restaurant also did a decent job. Their Shrimp, both the regular and Jumbo Ebi were okay but weren’t surprisingly fresh or groundbreaking in any way.

Here’s what I wouldn’t recommend: most of their tuna based sushi’s. Their tuna nigiri and seared tuna were both extremely dry rather than smokey in flavor. The same can be said for the seared salmon, but not to the same extent. The chicken karaage was more fried batter and too oily than chicken itself and it felt as if old oil was used. With the Tonkotsu Ramen the broth was watery and the noodles were overcooked making for a fairly poor ramen - understandable though as this place focuses on sushi rather than ramen.

Service wise this restaurant does an amazing job with quick service, attentive servers who were consistent with asking about the food, refilling water and asking for refills on beer.

I’d say it’s definitely one of the more favorable sushi spots I’ve been to! Great job from their team.

This is one of the best AYCE sushi i had in a long while.

To start off, the restaurant is very clean, no sticky surfaces anywhere to be found. The AC works, and the bathroom is clean as well.

The service is immaculate, they are very attentive of their patrons and are only a few steps away at any time ready to serve. Make sure to leave a good tip after your meal!

Most importantly now, the food is good and cost is good as well. They currently have a deal on draft Sapporo for $1 a glass so get your butt down here for some good food at good deal!

They have a big selection of food available so come with a BIG appetite!

Place was clean but super slow. We paid for AYCE but service is slow. They missed some of the order on our list. I’ve been to other ayce sushi but this place is too slow then want to charge 2$ per piece. Barely anyone there but they bring the sushi slow. We don’t like server Jack. Would not ever come back or recommend this place to friends and family.

Good new spot for AYCE Sushi.
For 2 people with just waters it came out to $81 before tip.
Feels clean inside, fish was good, and service was great. Definitely feel like I got my money’s worth.

Be warned though, if you don’t care for sweet food you may want to avoid the sauces. I’m more for savory or tangy. Some of the dressings were just too sweet. That may be a positive thing depending on your tastes.

Lots of great choices on appetizers, salads , and rolls. The menu offers tempura, baked, and no rice options. On the nigiris they definitely don't skimp out on the fish. The fish is fresh and have a great lunch time special from Monday's to Thursday's before 2:30pm. Very attentive customer service I left satisfy and will be returning.

A great place for AYCE. Their grand opening promotion is really worth it because the price is about the same as a typical a la carte meal in other restaurants in LA. The dinner option is $10 extra but has premium pieces. The sashimi was great and high quality. Totally recommend!
