16 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“

“Came here with my partner after seeing this place on Yelp and it did not disappoint. Ivan was awesome and welcoming. Service and food were phenomenal. I highly recommended the uni truffle and mentaiko with shrimp. The shrimp was the best shrimp I’ve ever had. Enjoy everyone!“

“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.“

“Excellent in every way. Perfect!!!“

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

“Delicious ramen and side dishes. The Japanese Curry is a favorite in our home. A perfect lunch stop with excellent fast service. Don’t miss this fabulous local business.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“美味しゅうございました！“

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

“The food was delish!

The gal who took our orders was friendly and helpful with providing some details about their menu. It wasn't fast food and tasted freshly made. The four of us who went said we'd all go again.“

“This is my favorite sushi in LA so far. For those fish-and-rice purists, maybe a bit little untraditional, but I loved every single bite of my meal. My nigiri were all extremely flavorful, and each one had its own special touch that accented the fish, which I appreciate. Their Vegas roll was perfectly cooked and quite filling, which is quite a trick. Wait staff was quick, polite, and friendly, and the atmosphere was great“

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