This is hands-down the best Japanese restaurant in the Bixby Knolls area and in my opinion the best in Long Beach.
The menu covers everything you'll want, but stays specialized. Their sushi is S tier, the rolls are artistic and thoughtfully flavored, sashimi is always high quality. Pork Katsu has been perfect each time I've tried it. I want to try the Tokyo Hambagu next time, from the pictures I've seen it's an experience.
If you're here for sushi, consider the Wow roll and the Yuzu Albacore Tataki (see pictures attached.)

UPDATE: I've been here a few times before for their katsu and sashimi, but today I had their roll (wow and yuzu albacore tataki) and wow... I am without words. This place has officially become my favorite sushi spot now. Go hurry! Why are you still reading this? Run!
Great service and food. We especially loved the weekend lunch specials and the katsu!

Took my boyfriend of 4 years after we were going through a rough patch and let’s just say by the end the chefs weren’t the only ones putting meat in buns

Tasty sushi at a good price with a welcoming staff and a cool vibe big with open sides that give a nice breeze and a big screen that plays the games.

Love this place, the food, the service, and the atmosphere was great! We had the Crunch Roll and Salmon Lover, both were great! This was our first time here, but we will be coming here again.

Might be our new go to spot in the area for sushi. Large portions, great service. Started with some complementary miso soup. Had the sashimi, two rolls, and mochi ice cream to finish. Highly recommend!

My experience here was amazing. Food was delicious, staff were helpful. The decor is very cozy and relaxing. Portions are big, you can have leftovers!! 😼 Also, the waiters serving us were so pretty 💕🙂↔️
We came for dinner in the outdoor area, with a baby and a puppy. We were greeted by the sweetest staff, bringing water for the pup and high chair for the baby. Service was wonderful and the food was even better. We tried a variety of dishes to share amongst the table. Everything was polished off and left wanting more. The sushimi was fresh, the carpaccio well dressed. The Chicken Katsu was larger than expected and equally delightful. We tried assorted rolls, nigiri and the edamame. Happily impressed and would highly recommend everyone to try this place.

I don’t leave many reviews but this place deserves one. The baked lobster roll was to die for and it was the comfort food I needed. I tried their tempura vanilla ice cream, delicious! The restaurant is a beautiful atmosphere. I ate with a friend from 9pm to 10:30pm on a Monday. We had decided to go to the sushi/ramen place across the street but it was packed and it felt claustrophobic with no parking.
This is a perfect intimate place for a couple’s date. Or even a self-date. The waiter was attentive and professional. I was served complimentary miso soup while I waited for my friend. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt appreciated as a customer. Don’t miss out on this place. It’s a gem hidden in plain sight. Oh and their mint/lemon water was so crisp I didn’t realize I had drank so much of it without feeling full. I’m a picky eater but this place was amazing.
