Everything was just OK. I wasn’t blown away by anything, we ordered at least an item from every section, a starter, chef’s choice sashimi, a hand roll, yaki soba, a few skewers, and hamachi Kama. Nothing blew us away, the sashimi was a great quality, but for the price point, I expected a little batter. The ambiance of the place is really nice, I’d come again for a drink and a snack but not for dinner

Food was overall good.
I’m only giving a 3 star because their automatic tip calculator includes the tax which is lying to their customers and charging them more.

I came here with my friend for the first time since they opened, and I'm already looking forward to coming again. It's the perfect spot for a date night or girls night! I had the koji potato salad, the white fish white ponzu, chicken thigh skewers, tsukune chicken meatball skewer, and pork belly skewer and I was in heaven. The wagyu skirt steak melted in my mouth and the matcha brownie and azuki ice cream went so well together.

Amazing new izakaya in Long Beach! All the food we had was so delicious and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. Some of my favorites were the toro nigiri, bluefin tuna appetizer, spicy tuna handroll, meatball skewer and yuzu ikura onigiri. They also had a unique fusion quesadilla which was tasty. Customer service was amazing and the owner Chef Yoya was so friendly! Parking was easy as they are located next to a structure and the first 2 hours are free.

I got scallop, chicken heart, and pork skewers as a tester and this place is fantastic. You can get a full meal or just stop in for a snack skewer and a drink but believe me you will be tempted to stay. Food is cooked to order in front of you

Really delicious izakayka (and some fun non-traditional elements). They’ve got a solid selection of nigiri, the Yakitori is delicious, and if you’re looking for unexpected faire, try the japa-dilla (Japanese quesadilla) which is absolutely to die for.

Local friends invited me over during their soft opening weekend, and was excited to hear about an Izakaya opening in Long Beach. Having grown up in Torrance you get spoiled with a lot of great Japanese options, and this new spot in DTLB is on par.
Got to try something different with their Japanese inspired quesadilla and it was delicious, as was the rest of the food.
I was a bit disappointed to see that the Nikaido wasn't served as a highball like at the Dodgers stadium. Ended up ordering a bottle of green tea to mix it on the rocks, and was surprised that either the soda water or other options had to be purchased as a bottle to mix the drink.
Overall a great place for authentic Japanese food in Long Beach, and excited to see what else they add to the menu.
