50 Best Sushi Bars near El Segundo

“The sushi here is excellent. We had the bluefin, yellowtail, and albacore sashimi/nigiri, and all three were fresh, cleanly cut, and handled with skill. One can tell the chef cares about the fish and knows traditional technique. The kitchen side needs a little tightening up — I ordered curry rice and received curry noodles instead. Not a big deal, but not ideal when specifics are missed. Still, the sushi quality easily outweighs the small slip. The LAX roll was great as well. Bottom line: if you're here for serious sushi, this place is worth trying. Not a whole lot of room but for smaller groups of say 5-10 is a good location! — NJ“

“Great good and friendly staff🎉🎊“

“I came here for dinner and ordered the Tonkatsu set.
The pork cutlet was thick, crispy, and the meat quality was really good. Everything tasted solid overall.
The only minor downside is that parking in this area can be a bit tough.“

“Sushi Chef-Dion! His Colorful Magnificent tasty sushi will give you a great inner body experience like no other! 🤗“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Sunday brunch was amazing. the smoked salmon eggs Benedict were some of the best we have ever had. the location is ideal definitely get an ocean facing room. The staff catered our every need. We haven't even checked out yet and I believe we're about to book our next stay.“

“Good Japanese foods , many varieties of dishes . The fish grilled sea bass is cooked just perfectly fine . The salad is kinda american Japanese fusion but still good . The carbonara noodle - I don’t really care (It doesn’t really fit with the rest of the dishes) - overall is a great place to enjoy Japanese foods“

“I have travelled to Japan 10x in 2 years, this is on par if not better food wise than any trip to Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto. The authenticity as it relates to the space, the chefs, even the toilet makes me feel like I’m thousands of miles away. You’d be doing yourself a disservice not coming here.“

“Amazing food and service, chef Hilo made my experience feel like I was truly understanding each bite I took into my food. Amazing atmosphere“

“Some of the best food ever!!“

“Hi I loves it thanks again so much“

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

“As we walked in there was no hostess and all the bartenders saw us but turned the other way. We waited but it looked completely empty so we were a bit confused whether or not they were open. They could have said, "welcome, someone will be with you shortly".My friend had to walk up and ask if we find a spot or wait for someone. They said we need to wait for a hostess (not friendly at all). The hostess was nice and so was our waiter, THANKFULLY. I gave 4 stars for the lack of welcoming and because I felt like it was hard to pick something I thought would be good. Food was average, nothing too exciting from what we ordered.“

“Located in K-Town, I’ve been hearing a lot about this spot that specializes in yubu (inari) sushi — rice stuffed in a sweet tofu wrap with different toppings. I came pretty close to opening time on a Saturday, and it was already busy. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day.

I ordered the spicy salmon, lemon salmon, torched salmon, mentaiko crab, king yubu, and spicy tuna. They were all pretty good, but my favorites were the lemon salmon and torched salmon. The lemon really helped cut through the sweetness and richness of the yubu, and the torched salmon had a nice toasty flavor that made it stand out.

The pieces are decently sized and come packed with toppings, but they run about $6 to $10 each, so you’d probably need three or four to feel full. I like the concept and presentation, but the yubu itself does get a little too sweet after a while. Still, I’d definitely come back for a quick snack or to grab a few for a picnic or road trip.“

“I love this place for at least 3 generations my family has been coming here. It makes me think of my grandmother as this was always a treat me and her would go and get just the two of us and share with no one else. It was like our place and being a family and seeing a family and speaking like family all my life I just love this place. I always want 16-20 pieces half and nori and inari.“

“Nestled right next to Trader Joe’s in Downtown Culver City, Brothers
Sushi is a casual restaurant with attentive and friendly servers and sushi chefs. The fish quality is exceptional and fresh. Their delicious miso soup is a MUST TRY! The lunch menu has a wide variety ranging from sushi to bento boxes. Hands down Brothers Sushi is worth the splurge. If you have room for more after your meal, their desserts are light, not incredibly sweet and refreshing. We will definitely come back. Thank you, Brothers Sushi 🍣 🍱“

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Wake Sakura in Gardena! It’s located on the second floor of the Tokyo Central market, which is a cool experience in itself. The restaurant has a sleek, modern, and clean atmosphere that feels very authentic.
You order everything on a tablet at your booth, and the plates are delivered directly to you on a high-speed conveyor belt, which is both efficient and fun to watch.
But the star of the show was, without a doubt, the Tuna Lovers plate. If you are a fan of tuna, this is a must-order. The quality was exceptional, especially for a conveyor belt-style restaurant. It featured a beautiful variety of cuts, from lean, clean-tasting akami to the rich, melt-in-your-mouth fatty toro. Every single piece was incredibly fresh, had a great texture, and was served on perfectly seasoned rice.
The quality of the fish here is a clear step above other conveyor belt spots. I was thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back. Highly recommended for any sushi fan, but especially if you love high-quality tuna!“

“One of the best sushi I’ve had in Southern California, small place not fancy at all but it is a recommended experience must try.“

“Great creative sushi rolls. Excellent service.“

“A hidden gem! Very fresh and tasty“

“美味しゅうございました！“

“Fabulous sushi with just enough flair to let you know that Chef Daniel-son has above average skills in areas other than sushi - he does a Saba sandwich on homemade milk bread, plus a shrimp stone pot fried rice in addition to sushi (at least as of this visit). Two seatings, the later one is more relaxed if you don't mind eating late. And the sake selection is excellent.“

“Absolutely amazing vegan food, the staff were so kind and professional, their food is top-tier 👌 Can’t wait to come back for more !!! 🥰“

“It’s not just a sushi restaurant.
Her entertainment is truly a form of Japanese art.

Enjoying sushi that melts so delicately, surrounded by the smiles of women, was an experience I had never had before.

Thank you! I’m already looking forward to the next time ♡“

“Awesome !!“

“A friendly waitresses,waiters .“

“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!“

“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!“

“Superb sushi, among the best I have ever had. Highly recommend. Simple decor with very nice touches - nothing fancy at all, just very nice. It is a second story location, elevator or stairs get you there. Can't wait to go again.“

“My wife and I love sushi so when we moved to the neighborhood we started trying out sushi spots to see which would become “ours”. After trying a handful of other places we came to Sushi HON and knew immediately that this was the one. The fish is extremely fresh, the rotating menu of rolls is diverse and consistently high quality, the prices are totally reasonable especially for this city and their garlic edamame is probably the best I’ve ever tasted, but what really sets this place apart is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and has basically treated us like family from the first time we walked through the door. They’re the best. Check them out!!“

“Hand roll spot with dry aged fish inside the Citizen Public Market. Came here for dinner with a friend and we both ordered the small set (4 pieces). We were able to replace the lean roll with a different fish. Our server was super nice and we enjoyed our meal. It operates like it’s a sit down spot so you pay after the meal, rather than at the counter like at other stalls in the market.“

“Quality fresh sushi, creative to. I wish they deliver to Santa Monica , but I will pick up :)“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“The food is fantastic! We had spicy dumplings, Sushi rolls and Pad Thai. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were outstanding! - (Not the ridiculous appetizer size portions a lot of Japanese restaurants serve). We went on a rainy weekday evening, the atmosphere was quiet. The place has an upscale neighborhood feel to it, extremely warm and comfortable. The service was spot on, we never waited or had to try to get the attention of our server, she was on great.“

“I have been coming to Kanpai for over 15 years. They finally opened up a location in Santa Monica. The most important Takeaway about this restaurant is the wide variety of exotic Japanese sushi sashimi. They have incredible seasonal type shellfish, and a variety of fish that you will not ordinarily get at any other sushi restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to the real Japanese sushi enthusiast.“

“Sushi Time has officially become our new after-school go-to spot, all thanks to Mimi! From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel like family—so kind, warm, and welcoming, with a sense of humor that instantly brightens your day. She has that rare gift of making you feel seen and cared for, which makes every visit special.

The food? Absolutely delicious. Everything is made fresh to order, with that perfect balance of quality and flavor that keeps us coming back. You can tell a lot of love goes into every dish.

Between Mimi’s amazing energy and the consistently great food, this place is a gem. It’s not just sushi—it’s a whole experience. Highly recommend!“

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

“Just different sushi combos. The garlic edamame were fair, but everything else was delicious“

“AAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++ Plus First time and will definitely come back“

“Best sushi anywhere! Been going to Sasabune for decades.“

“Great spot tucked into a tiny strip center area. Plenty of seating, including sushi bar seating. My orders of maguro nigiri and yellowtail nigiri were very fresh. The spicier tuna roll was delicious as well. Complimented by attentive service and a laid back atmosphere, this made for a perfect spot. 👏“

“Delicious. Fresh quality good sushi. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommend.“

“Great sushi place. Did one of the several course tasting options.“

“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!“

“This place was definitely a place I was a little sketched out to stop by, but the reviews convinced me otherwise. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT WAS! I have lived in Santa Monica for 2 years now and this was my first time - some of the best food I have eaten since living in LA. Very fresh fish and unique flavor profiles. I got the Alaskan spicy roll and it was one of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had! 10/10 recommend!!! The gyoza was also phenomenal - very flavors and the sauce was awesome! I will definitely be ONLY going here for sushi moving forward!“

“Found this place on Google while spending a night in LA near the airport 🛫. The place looks rough as heck, but don't be fooled. The food is incredible. Close to, if not the best sushi I ever ate. I get sushi everytime I travel to different places, so I have tried a fair bit. The place is self serve you set the table yourself and everything else. The fish was extremely fresh and the chef is an expert. He prepares the sushi 🍣 right out in the open so no secrets. The rolls are big and filling. I would highly recommend this place if you are around LAX and want sushi. They also do take out and door dash services. Thanks to chef!“

“5 stars. Best hand rolled sushi. Great atmosphere and customer service. Beautiful view of the Marina.“

“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.“

“Es lo más delicioso 😋 que he probado 👌🏽 Ampliamente recomendado“
