50 Best Sushi Bars near El Segundo

“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.“

“Great food and great service“

“Hana Haru is exactly what they say it is. It’s laid back and pretty good sushi! We got here 20 minutes before they closed and they were so nice about it. We will definitely recommend this place if you want sushi in a relaxed chill environment.“

“This is authentic Japanese! I had their Curry udon and it was amazing. It was served super hot(not spicy) just the way I like my noodles. Came with a small salad and those rice things(yummy). 20 bucks for the meal, Not bad at all.

Not their fault but people kept walking in and leaving the door wide open and creating a cold draft. I would recommend attaching a spring or someway to automatically shut the door.

**Update, I went back. This time I got the chicken katsu curry and I was not disappointed. It was a lot of food and came with sashimi, cold ramen, and even 2 slices of roll. I think this is turning into my go to spot.“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Superb place. Unfortunately Jonny Won (?) left couple of years ago but the current Chef is more than capable of upholding this restaurant's glowing reputation for exceptionally fresh ingredients and superb cooking skills. My only advice is to stick to fish and leave the meat dishes as, although nice, are not quite "wow" as they used to be.“

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

“I don't write Google reviews but I had to because this is the best establishment I've ever eaten at. The service was excellent. The staff was kind, checked on us just the right amount, and had baskets that sat beneath the table so purses didn't sit on the floor. The cut salmon sushi roll was fresh. The fish and chips were the best I have ever had in my life. The fries weren't crisp but the flavor made up for it. If I was from here, I would never shut up about this place. But since I'm not, a passionate Google review will have to do.“

“It's a great place to take someone you are trying to impress. Everything there is beautiful.“

“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.“

“We had a good dinner here. We ordered miso soup, seaweed salad, salmon sushi, mixed tempura, spicy tuna roll and a rainbow roll. Everything was very good. The seafood was fresh and had great flavor. We really have no complaints regarding the food. Our server was lovely and they were very attentive. The downside - it's definitely on the expensive side and the atmosphere is okay.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nonstop Sushi & Sake Bar in Marina Del Rey, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly attentive and made sure we felt welcome throughout our visit.

The menu at Nonstop Sushi & Sake Bar is extensive and offers a wide variety of options, catering to both sushi enthusiasts and those who prefer cooked dishes. We started with the Garlic Edamame, which was perfectly seasoned and a great way to kick off our meal. The highlight, however, was the sushi. The Spicy Tuna Roll and the Yellowtail Carpaccio were absolute standouts. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were well-balanced and delicious.

One of the unique features of this restaurant is their sake selection. The staff were knowledgeable and helped us choose a sake that perfectly complemented our meal. It added an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.

The ambiance is trendy yet intimate, making it a perfect spot for both casual outings and special occasions. The outdoor seating area is a nice touch, offering a pleasant view and a relaxed vibe.

Overall, Nonstop Sushi & Sake Bar exceeded my expectations. The combination of high-quality food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit in Marina Del Rey. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I will definitely be returning soon“

“Some of the best food ever!!“

“Super tasty! King Yubu is a little hidden gem kind of place. Really delicious Korean style sushi. Think like little pockets with all kinds of fillings on rice. I got the Signature King Yubu, the spicy pork belly and the unagi Yubu with a spicy tuna and tempura sushi roll. All really good we also tried the kimchi loaded fries really big portion definitely a shareable portion. It was corn cheese with kimchi on the seasoned fries you can get different toppings like fried chicken or bulgogi but just the fries by themselves were super good so we went without all the extra. Definitely coming back to try the other options on the menu looks like new updates and ideas coming to the menu all the time. Great job chef.“

“Some high quality sushi, but highly influenced by the other guests in there since it is so small. Given that it is in the Fairmont, that can be a crapshoot (like the day we went where two of the female guests were a bit tipsy, super ornery, and loud - overshadowing our experience).“

“Great location, excellent service and flavorful menu. We came for lunch and it did not disappoint.

Eggplant unagi nigiri- tasty and loved the texture
Black garlic tofu- filling
Spinach mushroom quesadilla-tasty, and very satisfying.

We would definitely return. Plenty of options on their left for me to try.“

“Wow amazing service. I had to wait like 2 to 4 minutes for my order but wow did they make it up they apologized for the wait and offered a flan for free. Never have I ever received any service like this in any other place. Thank you so glad to have one close to me now. Shout out Matthew and team.“

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

“During my trip to the U.S., the best food I had was sushi. The quality of the fish was exceptional, and everything from the appetizers to the dessert was perfect. You could really feel the care and high-quality ingredients in every dish. The service was also incredibly friendly. I enjoyed a delicious omakase with friends in a private room. If I ever travel to the U.S. again, I’ll definitely visit this place again. Highly recommended!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Loved it! First time and will definitely come back when I’m in town. Owners very nice and desert was as good as the food.“

“Great creative sushi rolls. Excellent service.“

“Haru is a hidden secret.... Premium quality sushi without the fuss of the popular "high-end" places. Follow their social media stories and you'll see how they break down beautiful, sourced cuts of fish themselves... Mouth watering and beautiful presentation.

We try to order directly when they can (rather than through apps) when we can in order to support them.“

“美味しゅうございました！“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“The only sushi spot I go for food and drink in Koreatown. Great area with ample street parking, plus valet, if need-be. Or get a takeout order!

When it comes to sushi, I am pretty much a broken record, ordering same items every time for many years at a time.

If you’re not sure of what to order, always ask your server! Also. Huge selection of soju, sake, beers, with premium options.

Great food, friendly service, and it is on the quieter side of town, which is a big reason I frequent.“

“Hi I loves it thanks again so much“

“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!“

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

“We had a delicious, incredibly fresh and expertly prepared omakase menu. The restaurant owners are also the fish wholesalers which allows for high quality imported fish from Japan at a fair price. Rounding out the experience, was the welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Very excited to have this gem in the neighborhood.“

“The service was really good and the 15 course omakase is offered for a great price. Do the math, $95 for 15 plates of high quality food = amazing. I loved the crispy avocado rice dish, the coconut cream Japanese risotto, crab hand roll, and the miso brownie. The watermelon nigiri and other nigiris were my least favorite out of everything, but all of the food was enjoyable. This is an easy 5 stars and the best food I've had in LA. Updated from previous review on 2024-12-09“

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

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

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

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

“It's my go-to place whenever I visit Torrance. It's a casual comfort place with affordable price. I love their creamy pasta. It's sooo goood!! Not to mention their fresh rolls come with big portion. Friendly & prompt service, clean space, plenty of parking, cozy small business. It's a gem in the neighborhood.“

“Fast service. Fresh fish.“

“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!“

“When you \\u0026 your friend feels like having a sushi on a hot sunny Saturday. What a surprise no waiting. Got seated right away. The host was friendly and service was fast. We ordered our hand roll and sashimi. Just good enough for our cravings. The place is clean and cozy. Keep up the good work.“

“Most definitely the best sushi I've had in years. My wife and I had Omakase for my birthday. Outstanding service -- they kindly accommodated our dietary requests. The presentation was masterful and the executive chef beautifully explained his artistic creations. I highly recommend this place, and I will definitely go back again to enjoy the chef's craftsmanship and to enjoy a truly authentic sushi kaiseki experience.“

“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“

“Awesome !!“

“Delicious sushi! Awesome service!“

“This is a neighborhood gem. Freshest sushi, friendly service and good vibes all around. My daughters love their tempura dinner and I love their yellow tail sashimi, my husband loves the Chenzo roll. If you're a rude customer, stay away.“

“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.“

“Food is amazing! Service is amazing too!“

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

“We come to Enya often, and love the food and vibe. The rolls are creative, the fish always fresh, and the chefs and staff are welcoming and attentive. One of our fave spots in Venice/MDR!“
