Really good sushi
Favorite sushi spot!
This place is a father and son run family establishment that has very high quality food and services. It feels very welcoming each and every time and the fish is very fresh!!! There is a reason I’ve been back 30+ times. It’s has the best sushi!!! Looking forward to the next time!
My wife is vegetarian and she loves it too!

Kihon is truly something special, and a huge part of that is Victor. From the moment you walk in, his hospitality sets the tone for the entire experience. Victor isn’t just a great host — he’s a genuinely good person. Warm, attentive, and thoughtful in a way that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. You can tell he truly cares about people, not just the restaurant, and that kind of energy is rare.
Eddy was an absolutely phenomenal server. Knowledgeable, friendly, and perfectly paced — he made the experience seamless without ever being intrusive. He clearly takes pride in his work and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.
And shoutout to Tito as well — such a great presence and part of what makes the team at Kihon feel so dialed-in and welcoming. The staff here works together effortlessly, and it shows.
Between the hospitality, the service, and the overall vibe, Kihon stands out as one of the best dining experiences in Long Beach. This is the kind of place you don’t just visit once — you come back for the people. Highly, highly recommend.

Kihon truly serves the best and freshest sushi we've ever had! We've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. From the incredible quality of the fish to the friendly staff and cozy ambiance, everything is consistently a 10/10. Eddie is our favorite waiter, he is wonderful :)

Amazing sushi place. My husband and I have been to Japan and this is the closest you can get for fresh sushi. Price is steep but definitely worth it for the quality you get. Shout out to Francisco, our sushi chef!

I have been going to Kihon since I was a kid and not once have I left their fine establishment unsatisfied. Their staff are always so kind helpful and attendant. The food may be a little more expensive then other places but you can really taste the quality in the ingredients. And the atmosphere is a nice and cozy feeling place inside and pleasant on their patio.
