50 Best Japanese Restaurants near La Palma

“I was going back to the yard to part my semi and I thought I’d get something quick to snack on at the corner store but it wasn’t open. The next thing open beside it was LUCKILY Tokyo Grill! I was hungry and I was going to wait til I got home but I decided to get the chicken bowl because I saw it was 9 bucks. I didn’t expect much as I took it to my truck and man was I blown away. The flavor of the chicken was so delicious and the amount of ingredients they put into the bowl is unbelievable. It had green beans pineapple carrot slices cabbage and some other vegetables. I was amazed for how much food they gave me for the plate only being 9 bucks and they put a lot of chicken in there which was a big plus. I didn’t have to dig around for any chicken.That’s why I’m writing this review, hopefully it helps anyone thinking coming to eat here. Oh and I also had really dirty hands and the lady at the cash register which I believe was part owner, gave me some wipes and was really nice. I’m pretty sure their other dishes are great too. I didn’t take a picture of my food because I was really hungry but it’s worth each penny I wasted.“

“Great food and great service. This my go to spot for catering sushi. The owner usually just needs an hour notice to get your order going. I’ve gotten this catered on thanksgiving and today for Christmas. The food is fresh and presented with care.

It is open on holidays just call in advance to be sure. Thank you Sakai!

You get a discount for cash“

“Yummy sushi! It is pricey though. You get what you pay for!“

“This place was delicious! My boyfriend always comes here and it never disappoints. This was my first time here and I have nothing bad to say , the food was very flavorful and fresh . I got the Cajun plate my bf got the coco tempura roll along with a California roll . They have self served sauces on the side which are very good as well. The dining area is clean and pretty spacious the tables come with sriracha and soy along with utensils and napkins. Over all it was a great meal , I recommend.“

“Very good environment and food!“

“Thank you so much to the staff!

We arrived during the last 25 minutes before closing, and we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. The staff took the time to explain the menu and help us with our choices

Thank you again for such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back earlier next time 😊🫶“

“This is one of the best and only place we like to go. They are very friendly and best fresh sushi all around. it really feels like a small family enviroment“

“Enjoyed my dining in I Luv Sushi too!“

“We were visiting from Seattle and wandered into Osaka Story completely by accident… which is now the best accident we’ve ever had.

The staff were so kind and friendly that we instantly felt like regulars, even though we’d just walked in off the street. The food was so good we came back the very next day like, “Hey, it’s us again, don’t mind us.” And the beef yaki udon? Chef’s kiss. Truly “I could write poetry about this noodle” levels of good.

We will absolutely be back—probably more often than is reasonable for people who don’t live here.“

“This place is AMAZING! The food is delicious and reasonably priced (and plenty to take home), the atmosphere is cool and the drinks are cheap! But the real stand-out is the staff - they are super nice and are working really hard to make sure everyone feels welcome. My new favorite place in LA!!“

“Amazing experience. At first I was wary when I realized the restaurant was in an older hotel next door to Disneyland but I admit I was absolutely wrong. The restaurant was good enough to be one you could find in any five star resort or Michelin guide. The service was absolutely amazing. The entire staff was welcoming and extra nice to us. The chef was from Japan and had fifty years experience as a sushi chef in Japan. The food was amazing and I can’t state that enough. It was to die for. Some of the best real sushi I’ve had in years and not Tex mex sushi. This was an emphasis on the fish. The Wagyu was some of the best I’ve had in years. Everything was amazing. I will be back.“

“Great experience overall! Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. The flounder & shrimp sushi were super fresh, the crispy rice with spicy tuna had the perfect crunch, and the Garlic Albacore was especially flavorful. The salmon blue crab with truffle was rich, buttery, and packed with flavor without feeling too heavy.
We also tried the OMG Roll and Albacore Blossom Roll, and both were absolutely amazing — really flavorful, well balanced, and beautifully made. Honestly, every dish we ordered was a hit. Friendly service, high quality fish, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely coming back!“

“Such a delicious place! Everything is fresh, and the portions are very generous.
They have plenty of seating inside, and the place is very clean.
There is a parking lot in front of the store, and there is also parking available
behind the building.“

“I just randomly stopped in for an Asahi beer.Then I decided to try the RISING SUN ROLL. OMG.super delicious and mouth watering. I'm coming back with my friends“

“Very delicious!! Been coming here for many years. Now under new management from what I understand. The staff is amazing and make you feel like you’re home. Will always come back. Thank you so much 🙏🙌🍣🍱😋“

“Fresh sashimi, cozy atmosphere & friendly staff! A must visit Japanese dining restaurant in Pico Rivera :)“

But i really like coming here they make you feel at home .So if your in the mood for sushi or ramen i really recommend this spot!“

“Amazing Menu. The food melts in your mouth. Every bite I took was WOW! I had the Peruvian Ceviche, Parmesan scallops, tiger scallops and the Bluefin Tuna antiucho was so good I order 2 more orders of it. YUM. As a Peruvian a myself I totally recommend Akashiro. Will definitely come back and bring friends and family with me. Viva el Peru! 🇵🇪“

“so far everything I've tried has been delicious!“

“I had a great experience at this ramen place! The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, and the noodles had just the right texture. The toppings were fresh, and each bite felt comforting and satisfying. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself was clean and cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a warm bowl of ramen. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends.“

“Quality fresh food for a cheap price! Located next to Starbucks and Subway, this place is owned by a very sweet family. I would definitely recommend getting the chicken beef plate, but everything on their menu is delicious. Support local businesses during this rough time!“

“Got here a few minutes after they opened at 5pm and was seated very quickly. Our server was quick to bring our drinks and had an amazing memory when it came to our table ordering 5+ meats. He also kept coming back to the table to check on us and refilled our water countless times! The variety of sides and sauces at the buffet was wonderful and super fresh! The music playing in the backround was pleasant but not overly loud to the point of not being able to have a good conversation at the table. Will definitely be back!“

“Best teriyaki chicken“

“Never thought I'd like sushi but now I do!! Very delicious! Will definitely go back again soon! �“

“I’ve ordered here 3 times and food here has been consistently fresh. This place is near where I live. I was surprised to find out it was just a take out establishment during my first visit. But services have been quick and they have gotten the orders right so far. They often send out discount codes which are very helpful in this economy. Prices are fairly reasonable. Try it if you’re in the mood for sushi!“

“After moving from LA, I’ve been looking for new places to replace my comfort restaurants ranging from Silverlake, koreatown and Dtla .

This place is hands down great with the quality of sushi and the service. feels good knowing I don’t know to drive to little Tokyo to get my sushi fix at Sushi Haus.

This place gained a loyal customer.

I just wish they were able to reserve a spot on Google or Yelp rather than showing up in person to reserve your table if they’re busy“

“This place is highly underrated. Among the katsu restaurants in the area, it offers the best service and taste. The accompanying side dishes are also of excellent quality.
Servers frequently stopped by to check on the table and ask if we needed anything. We had a thoroughly satisfying experience.“

“I live near this Japanese style food restaurant but never have tried, today I decided to have for dinner with my family, my wife had the combo #02(combos come with beverage)she got beef and with white rice and x2 piece californa roll, I got combo #01 chicken and white rice with 4 dumplings, and for my 5yr old son we got him chicken no sauce with rice with the option of a mini box size, perfect for a toddler, we all were very pleased with the food quality and taste.
The chicken is very authentic in flavor not like most fast food, highly processed chicken taste and the sauce is made their, so it's very homemade hand crafted taste which I personally love, I have fall in love with the flavor and I am excited to try more of the dishes served here.
If your are someone who eats slop, highly processed food, made to feed cancer cells you probably won't appreciate the authentic flavor of a dying food craft made with love, this is not fast good, if you appreciate food craft to a culinary degree this place is for you.
Cya soon Okazya!“

“We had a fantastic lunch here today! This place has a cool and relaxing atmosphere, and the guy behind the sushi counter took great care of us. We had some miso soup, seaweed salad, and an assortment of hand rolls. The soup was solid and the seaweed salad was delicious - honestly one of our favorite parts of the meal. The rolls were all very good; the fish was fresh, and each roll highlighted the taste of the fish without overwhelming it with other sauces and flavors. The standout was the sea bream hand roll that they were serving today, which was INCREDIBLE. Next time, I may just order as many of those as possible!“

“Food is amazing and the prices are actually very good for the amount of meat you get. Love that they are healthy conscious, they had a list of some menu items and their protein and sodium content as well as other measurements which made making a selection so much easier. Will return, staff is very friendly and the food was made fresh and quick“

“Absolutely fantastic sushi spot. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The fish quality was excellent, rice was perfectly seasoned, and each roll was beautifully presented. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the overall vibe made it a great place to sit back and enjoy the meal. Easily one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had—will 100% be back.“

“Always good food. Started eating there a few years ago when I just happened to hear about what the owner did for a customer that had his food eaten by a food delivery service driver. Stand up guy! Always a good interaction when I stop in! Highly recommend them. The garlic noodles are delicious“

“We came during Valentine’s Day and was pleasantly surprised with the experience - from delicious and quite good portion of food to attentiveness in service. Patricio was our server and he was very attentive, checking in on us right after the food were delivered.“

“Delicious food, great preparation and presentation!“

“Wonderful we had lunch here yesterday. This is a clean and tidy restaurant. The service was excellent. The Miso soup was perfectly hot and delicious.
The Bento Sushi box was delightful. Fresh tuna and salmon. The tempura was perfectly battered and the veggies were crispy. I like to recommend this establishment and please leave your review and let us know your experience.“

“Went here with my cousin since he found out that they have a promotion with $.99/pint. He got excited. The place is nice, clean, big and spacious. Parking is easy but small so 1st comes 1st serves. Menu is varies and well options. Service is friendly and nice plus very attentive. The foods are good, well presented, tasty, good portion, and with reasonable price. Overall we had a good time here with good foods and cheap beer, and with great service.“

“I had the sake salmon and egg sando.
The sando was good. Moist egg filling and well toasted bread. The sake salmon...goodness gracious. It was delicious! I want to try more items on the menu, but I may have a hard time not ordering the salmon again. I highly recommend Neighborhood Bento.
It's definitely worth noting that the staff were cheerful, knowledgeable, and professional. I will definitely come here again.“

“service and the food was excellent our waitress Sherry bear was awesome“

“Some of the best green mussels,shrimp tempura and gyosas I’ve had in a AYCE. Also their special house sauce made with ghost peppers was a side sauce to add some heat to the items. Their portions are pretty big as well so if you’re doing AYCE make sure to order with care. Shout out to Emily and Clara for the awesome service.“

“Best Japanese Food in Whittier“

“Roll & Teriyaki is a good local spot for delicious, fast-casual Japanese food at affordable prices. The quiet and clean dining area will accommodate small groups or solo diners.

The menu boasts Japanese favorites that most people will be familiar with. The value-packed combos are a real treat. I've also enjoyed the chicken and beef teriyaki bowls, as well as the sushi and roll offerings. While they may not offer as many fish varieties as other places, the ones they do have are all fresh and satisfying.

For a small, mom-and-pop restaurant, I'm glad there's a place like this close to home and affordable. The service is good. I've visited many times and the owner is a man of few words. The other staff have been nice as well.

If you're on a budget and craving Japanese food, R&T is worth checking out. There is plenty of parking in the public lot.“

“If I could give this guy 10 stars on service, I would totally do it. Absolutely made my night. The food is very good, but the service is even better.

I love ramen and I love sushi, and both are very good here. My girlfriend and I come here sometimes, and it's always been a great experience, but especially tonight. It's how clean it is.

Especially tonight, there was a tall Asian guy that was just so joyful. He had glasses on, and it just really made our night.“

“Worthy of a special trip! They took such care in their preparation. It’s not a glitzy place but the service was special. Counter order, lots of options. My wife and I stopped there as we were staying at the Hampton inn in the same area. I had a yellowtail roll along with tempura and my wife had the salmon. Vegetables were perfect presentation was spot on for casual dining and my roll was one of the best I’ve had. Perfect proportion of spicy tuna to yellowtail to rice. If I lived in the area I would go here at least once a week. Prices were also spot on and in many cases extremely reasonable. Bravo Kabuto!!! A special place!!“

“Delicious quality food and the service is very nice and welcoming.“

“Great food, place and service! 👍👍👍“

“My husband and I went to Sushiholic on a little date right before Valentine’s Day, and it was wonderful! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy, the service was excellent, and the staff were friendly. The restaurant was very clean. Highly recommended!“

“place was fantastic! will recommend for ever!“

“Sushi & Teriyaki Plus is a great place to dine, have delivery or take away. It is an adorable. It is not large. Parking is easy and free.

There really is nothing you will not like there. Personally, we consider the shrimp tempura to be the best. But they have a great menu and you will find something you want. We also love their seaweed salad and their fried rice. It is all just great.

Their tuna sushi and their California roll are perfect.

The service is ever so friendly and they are fast. You order at the counter and they will call you when it is ready.

The place is just cute, not too big and not too small. The prices are fair. If you are in Downey this is a must stop. Have the best time. You will love it.“

“Tony knows how to do it right... will recommend“
