17 Best Japanese Restaurants in Redondo Beach

“Went to Yamashiro for the first time today! I have to say this is probably one of the best sushi places I have ever been to. The fried oysters were delicious! We ordered three different rolls and all of them were just beautiful from a presentation and artistry perspective, but tasting them was even better! The volcano roll was served on grapefruit slices, which made them very colorful and the scallops were cooked perfectly. The Yamashara roll was not only beautiful but it's the first time I have ever had mango with my sushi rolls and it actually added a really nice dimension of tropical fruit to already super fresh tasting tuna and avocado. The crispy roll had fried onions that were somehow not greasy, which was surprising. I'm wondering if they were air fried? But really great addition to texture for the rolls. We also had the yellowtail collar, which was cooked flawlessly. Oftentimes, yellowtail collar can you overcooked so part of it can be fairly dry. This caller was moist all the way around, perfect pockets of fish fat, and a very light unami salty flavor. The last thing we had, which I think was very fortunate because they don't always have it, was the Japanese tuna Ono which was cooked in a wonderful miso sauce.

I know I keep going on about this spot, but these rules were truly unique and I eat a lot of sushi, lol! Did I mention that we had a wonderful server, which I didn't get her name, but she's a Japanese woman that may have been the owner. I'm not sure, but her spirit was so respectful and refreshing and we loved her kindness and attentiveness. Really great service! I can't wait to go here again next time I visit the Redondo Beach area!!!“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Excellent in every way. Perfect!!!“

“We love Yanagi. Fabulous and fresh sushi, great service and there always seems to be a table for us. My tiny humans, age 10 and 7, love their sushi. At Yanagi, they are always well taken care of.“

“We used to eat here every week after school when it was open on Ke’eaumoku street. When it closed we were really sad but the flavor always stayed in our minds and nothing ever came close. I am so happy to be able to eat the Kimura Ohana’s Tan Tan Men again! 😭They were voted best in Hawai’i for a reason back in the day! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽“

“Friendly environment. Fast service, Fresh food, clean. love the Poke there.“

“Been waiting to try this place and it did not disappoint!

Our waitor was very attentive and full of personality making our experience great! The pasta was very delicious I wanted to get seconds!

Overall delicious spot definitely would wanna come again.“

“Excellent, authentic, VERY Japanese sushi. No firecracker shrimp rolls. If you want that kinda thing, go back to Hermosa.“

“This place deserves to be on every foodie’s checklist. A must-eat in Redondo Beach!“

“美味しゅうございました！“

“Musubis are good and teriyaki is a hit but their poke bowls are not it. Too salty! But everything else is pretty good. Been going here for a while now service is great but sometimes I’d go and they’re closed. Idk but still worth a try if you’re looking for something to eat, probably just not the poke. But maybe it’s just the preparer.“

“Excellent Fresh Food and really friendly servers who show interest in you having the best experience possible. Happy 9th year Anniversary!“

“This is our favorite poke bowl spot in the area because you have so many options and everything is fresh and delicious. The bows range in size so you can do a lighter bowl with a green base or go for the traditional rice if you dare. The eel here is really good and most poke spots don't even offer it. Fish is super fresh and there are seemingly endless toppings, sauces, add-on, and choices where you could do thousands of combinations. There are little things too.. just the say the kitchen puts the blows together they always look very artistic and appetizing.. other spots the bowls just aren't this pretty. If you love poke this is the place for the fully loaded style bowls with a ton of options.“

“The green salad and fried shrimps lacked the taste, which sounded mediocre. However, the macaroni one and dumplings (I forgot the name) were okay, while the yakisoba was tenderly good. Even the service was excellent with a fantastic atmosphere. Loved the restaurant since it was good to visit, as I'd recommend it.“

“Great experience . After. Watching numerous Asia movies we had to try this. EXCELLENT.“

“I ordered the tuna and avocado roll and it was excellent, very fresh and flavorful. We also tried the tuna with cream cheese roll and the spicy tuna roll at our table, and I really enjoyed both. For dessert, we shared the coffee macaron and it was surprisingly good light, balanced, and not overly sweet. I would definitely come back.

I’m Brazilian, and in Brazil rolls are not always appreciated or highlighted at restaurants, so I rarely order them there. But here it was truly worth it fresh fish, balanced flavors, and a great overall experience.“

“Food 🍱 so good 😊“
