50 Best Sushi Bars near Paramount

“Not sure how I haven’t left a review here yet—this is my go-to sushi spot in the area. I always start off with the spicy garlic edamame and calamari, both great appetizers. Depending on the day, if you order a beer you sometimes get a free fried corn poppers appetizer, which is actually surprisingly good.

My usual go-to rolls are the Hungry Roll and Samurai Roll, but honestly everything I’ve tried here has been solid. Service is always good as well.“

“Been going here for years the orange chicken is best along with the ramen. Good size serving as well. The ramen is always hot and has never disappointed. There is a worker that speaks spanish really good so for our Spanish speakers. Cant wait to go again“

“This is my first time here recommended by a friend it's only to go orders they have no seating on the inside but the restaurant in front they say hold some menu items from there and you can sit down and eat and use their restrooms. For California roll and calamari roll it took only about 30 minutes. They were extremely busy customer service was good. FYI, don't forget to mention if you enjoy chopsticks because you'll be disappointed that all they supply is forks in the closed bag they give you. Will come back if in the area again.“

“The food is amazing and good service“

“First time coming here.. First impression was very good, the staff was very friendly and they give me good recommendation and the place is clean, a very pleasant environment. The food is very delicious and the flavors are very rich, I really recommend you here.“

“Love this place .. the staff there is so friendly It’s amazing they make you feel so welcomed and the food is so fresh.“

“The best sushi experience!“

“One of the best restaurants in Long Beach for Peruvian, style, seafood, ceviche, and Sushi. Family owned and operated with a friendly vibe and amazing service.“

“Not that I've eaten at a ton of high-end omakase sushi restaurants, but Sushi Sonagi is one of the best omakase restaurants I've had in the world.

Chef Son seems to do a seasonal menu, but sources and prepares fish uniquely that not only tastes absolutely amazing, but also in a way that I didn't taste at several other, Michelin-starred omakase sushi restaurants. For example, I personally do not enjoy the taste of salmon, but the one Chef Son prepared (he described it as a 1 in 1000 salmon) did not have a strong salmon flavor at all, and it ended up being one of my favorite courses out of the whole meal. It should speak volumes of his skill that he could turn one of my least favorite ingredients into a dish I hope I'll be able to eat more of.

While I'm not a big sake person, the waitress (I assume his wife but I don't know for sure) was happy to recommend a sake based on my taste preference and she really nailed it, it was one of the best tasting sakes I've ever had as well.

Chef Son was also very conversational, and as a local South Bay resident he was able to chat with all the customers about a ton of stuff. Mostly food and cooking of course, but also other things as well. It was a much more relaxed and casual setting than other places at the $200+ price point, which I appreciated.

These types of restaurants are usually one and done for me no matter how good they are, but Sushi Sonagi is the first one I'm seriously considering returning to, and sooner rather than later.“

“Love this place,my family and friends have been going there for years,was so bummed when it burned down but just as good after it came back,always my first choice when I get the chance to be in town, and always great�“

“a minimal seating and parking area; but amazing service, great atmosphere, and top-notch food! Sushi, soups, bento boxes, you name it! everything is fresh and made to order. I love this gem of a restaurant.

Parking: parking is limited due to it being in a small center.“

“It was great ! Good service nice atmosphere and good food .“

“Kihon is the BEST sushi restaurant in Long Beach hands down. Go enjoy the tastiest food and you can thank me later! 😀“

“Ive been eating here since it opened. The sushi is always fresh tasting. Great portions for the price. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Fast service I will definitely recommend Sushi n go!“

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

“Quality fresh sushi, creative to. I wish they deliver to Santa Monica , but I will pick up :)“

“Great place for sushi! Servers are friendly and attentive. Food is great for a quick bite or small gathering. We have had birthday lunches here with 6+ people and they accomodates very well even though the the restaurant is on the smaller side.“

“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!“

“Sam & his crew are amazing, excellent food , highly recommended“

“EXCELLENT!!! we will definately be back!!“

“This was our first time coming to this Korean sushi restaurant. It was a great experience although this is not somewhere I'd bring a large group based on the limited seating. The service was great and the sushi tasted fresh. I recommend the Cerritos and crispy sushi for sure. I would recommend this place for sure.“

“Fantastic dinner ! Chefs John and James are great ! We love it!“

“An absolute hidden gem! We drove all the way from Santa Monica for a fun night out and were blown away by how exceptional the sushi was. Every bite felt like a surprise — the fish is incredibly fresh, the hand rolls are a must-try, and the sushi rice is easily the best we’ve ever had. For the quality you get, the prices are unbeatable. This spot is top-notch in every way, and we’ll definitely be coming back again and again.“

“good sushi and locally owned“

“So straight up the service is sloppy. They are super kind and get you what you ask for but there's just no... refined skills is the only way I can think of putting it. It's a well-oiled machine as far as getting the food out getting the people their drinks and cycling through.. sit down and DO NOT expect a luxurious experience but definitely a Tasty one!:)
The rolls and food are beautifully prepared and executed. Except the calamari.
It's a small venue, crowded, busy and a good value.“

“Great deal! The buy 2 get one free roll was very fresh. Service was prompt. Sapporo, nice and cold. Sat down right away. Nice atmosphere. Free parking by Post Office. Clean. 1 st time here from OC. Was going to Kaiser when I saw the banner in front. Great flavors! Flat screens.“

“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.“

“Went in for a quick bite mid-afternoon and ended up staying for an early dinner. Sat at the sushi bar, ordered nigiri; yellowtail, kurodai, tuna and salmon, mixed tempura, and green teas that were better than expected. The iced was this cloudy matcha situation in case you like that type of iced tea.

Excited to see kurodai on the menu. There were a few specials but we stuck to the basics for this round.

Everything came out beautifully presented and the fish was genuinely fresh across the board. The crispy rice is the move. Caramelized, warm, light spicy tuna on top. Comes heavy on the sauce so just know that going in. We will ask for a lighter touch next time but it was still delicious.

Easy parking, no wait, fair prices, great space (cool art! chill vibe) Long Beach top three sushi. No question.“

“Tried Trave Sushi and everything was so fresh and delicious. We ordered rolls and they were honestly really good. great quality and flavor. We came about an hour before closing and they still sat us right away with no attitude which I really appreciated.

Customer service was great too we spoke with Frank, super friendly and made the experience even better. The spot is very takeout friendly but still comfortable if you dine in.

I also loved that they have options for people who don’t like fish, like veggie rolls and beef rolls. We got the King Kong roll and it was huge and sooo good.

Only small downside is they don’t have fountain drinks, but honestly the food and service made up for it. Everything we tried was delicious and we’ll definitely be back!“

“​The sashimi was incredibly fresh and high-quality. I especially loved the live fish and the premium cuts of bluefin tuna—they were outstanding. The side dishes (tsukidashi) were also excellent, and I highly recommend the spicy fish stew (Maeuntang). Everything tasted clean and refined. Plus, the service was fantastic!“

“This place is absolutely delicious and really well priced. The owner is the always there cooking and taking care of customers and making sure we are happy with the quality of the food. The owner is always looking out for the Customer I highly recommend Tokyo Teriaki & sushi go check it out it's really good.“

“Sushi mafia is by far the best preparation of Sushi and sushimi I recommend this place to all my friends and family everybody come out and enjoy the best I've had highly recommend this place.“

“I came all the way from Highland Park (near Dodger Stadium) to check it out. I’m glad I did! They have limited yet free parking (plaza parking). The food is delicious and affordable. Their portions are nice too. The staff are friendly and the environment is authentic yet modern. The music is great and not too loud.“

“I have been going here for years. Stopped in for some bowls today. The combo bowl and chicken bowl were tasty. Also ordered some California Roll and it was okay. Out of the 5 pieces two were missing Avocado. The teriyaki sauce was also an odd consistency this time so we passed on eating that. Service was quick and friendly when ordering.“

“Best sushi restaurant! Best specialty rolls, sushi, cucumber salad, EVERYTHING! The atmosphere is fun and festive! And Owner, Managers, wait staff and sushi chefs are friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable ! Don’t like going anywhere else for my sushi!“

“I have been going to this place for years so my review comes as a collection of visits. Plenty of parking in the plaza. Enter the local and have the host take your name down if it's busy. If not they typically sit you down right away. The servers are friendly. The food here is great. You must take advantage of the lunch combos they offer. Combo B is the way to go. Soup, salad, your choice of any roll plus 2 hand rolls. It's a lot of food and you get your money's worth. They have alcohol on the menu as well. There is kids seating available. Would definitely recommend. It's not the best sushi in the world but it's a place to take care of the sushi craving. The staff is welcoming and just a nice place to have lunch or dinner.“

“Great sushi, one of our regular spots“

“One of the best restaurants in Long Beach for Peruvian, style, seafood, ceviche, and Sushi. Family owned and operated with a friendly vibe and amazing service.“

“I recently had a wonderful dining experience at Sushi Ai in Long Beach and wanted to share my thoughts. While I don't typically eat sushi or sashimi, I was in search of quality katsu, and Sushi Ai exceeded my expectations. I visited on a Sunday evening and opted for their dinner combo, which proved to be an excellent choice. The portion sizes were generous, and the quality of the food was impressive. The katsu, in particular, was exceptional - perfectly crisp on the outside and tender within. Although I didn't partake in the sushi offerings, the selection appeared diverse and appealing. The ambiance of the restaurant is pleasantly relaxed, and the staff were attentive and professional. The service was prompt and efficient, contributing to an overall smooth dining experience. Sushi Ai in Long Beach is a versatile establishment that caters to various preferences. Whether you're a sushi enthusiast or prefer cooked Japanese dishes, I believe you'll find something to enjoy here. The restaurant successfully balances quality, value, and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend Sushi Ai for anyone in the Long Beach area looking for a satisfying Japanese meal. It's a testament to the diverse culinary options our city has to offer. #SushiAi #LongBeachDining #JapaneseCuisine“
