Stumbled across Oh! Banzai on an IG ad….stopped by for lunch because I was in the area. What a gem! Had the eel sunomono (light and delicious!), and a few hand rolls. Really lovely place, great service, food is fresh and feels like a higher level dining experience than the price suggests. Definitely coming back

Absolute gem in the rough- was not expecting the high level of service and quality from the location but everything was absolutely fantastic! Will 10/10 be back. Try their sake flight and toro hand roll!

Great hand rolls, I will say it’s definitely worth it to get extra rice since I still feel empty after eating 5, but the flavor is amazing. The ponzu topping is a jelly which is unique and actually very good, goes best with the yellowtail though. Really like the eel too, the sauce on it is perfect. Seaweed is always fresh and crispy. Not super cheap but also very reasonable for upscale hand rolls

Yes! It was our first time having hand rolls and we chose the perfect place to try it for the first time. We did have a reservation so we were seated quickly. Everyone was very attentive and gave us their recommendations. You can't go wrong with anything you pick, and food was served quickly. We also got the Sake flight just to try out a few options for next time. I will say it is a small location and can feel a little loud, but we didnt mind. We will be back to try everything we didnt get to taste, In general I highly recommend trying this place out.
A friend recommended this spot and I’m so happy we went! Big variety of hand rolls, made super fast with high quality fish. My favorites were the scallop ponzu, crab (full crab leg meat), and toro negi. The sunomono salad with added shrimp and scallop 🔥. Don’t miss the garlic chili edamame. Very friendly staff
My server Reina was so helpful navigating me through the menu. The fish was so fresh and the matcha latte is a common Togo item for me! Love all the staff there and the kitchen is an open concept and you know all your food is fresh! Love the authentic japanese modern atmosphere!!

This place is wonderful. Very japanese experience. Beautifully furnished, simple, clean. Nice menu offerings, fresh and delicious. For $26-$36 you can select 5 different hand rolls with your choice of toppings. Absolutely delicious and satisfying. Lots of higher end uni and other seafood options, salads and deserts. The enzyme koso drinks are made to order, bubbly and fruity, very refreshing. Loved this experience!

When we first came to Oh! BANZAI, we were blown away — everything was amazing. The wagyu literally melted in my mouth, and the toro and uni were super fresh and delicious.
But honestly… after that first time, things just went downhill. Every time we came back, the quality dropped more and more. The wagyu got tough and chewy, the toro wasn’t fresh anymore, and it just didn’t feel worth it.
I gave it another shot today and only ordered wagyu, toro, and eel à la carte — what a disappointment. The wagyu was so hard to chew and even had a bit of a gamey smell, and the toro was just plain bad. For such high prices, the quality is nowhere near what it used to be.
Service doesn’t help either. The staff changes almost every time I visit, and once a server even asked me if I wanted the check while I was still chewing. Super rude.
It’s really sad because this place used to be so good. I really hope one day they can get back to the standard they had in the beginning… but for me, I won’t be coming back.

Oh! Banzai in Torrance is such a great spot! The hand roll sushi was fresh and delicious, and my favorite was definitely the wagyu carpaccio — melt-in-your-mouth amazing. The servers were friendly and attentive, and the whole place had a nice, clean atmosphere that made dining really comfortable. I also tried the koso drink, which was surprisingly refreshing and delicious. Definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area!
