50 Best Sushi Bars near San Pedro

“We had a really nice experience here! We tried the coconut chicken soup, and it was good, but the spice level was pretty mild. I love spicy food, so I was hoping for more of a kick :(
but it was still flavorful.

The pineapple fried rice and sushi were both yummy .
The waiter was also very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better.

Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back again☺️“

“The best sushi restaurant in San Pedro. I tried the Chef's Special Roll, the salmon lunch special, albacore sushi, and the eel roll. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and the pieces were large and thick, offering an excellent texture. The quality and texture of the sushi rice were also outstanding. Every dish felt high-end and delicious. I am delighted to have found such high-quality sushi in San Pedro. The interior was clean, and the staff were so nice and friendly that I felt truly well-cared for.“

“Yesterday while working across the street I decided to try this place. Is pretty small with about 8 tables enough for 20 people or more and nough to enjoy breakfast or lunch. Now many people have food to go. Wide variety of options to choose from. I had teriyaki chicken with shrimp . The lady who was there is very friendly and my order came out very fast the price is super reasonable for the size of the meal and most importantly it was really tasty. Definitely have to go again if I'm nearby.“

“been coming here for 23 years! great service and great sushi!“

“A small hidden gem!!! We were there just last Friday. The service (as always) was wonderful, the food scrumptious and though last Friday we were sat immediately (we just happened to beat the crowd). We have had to wait a few times; and I assure everyone it is worth the wait!“

“Hands-down, best sushi in town.
Not only that, best service in town. You can’t beat the value super fresh quick and the atmosphere is super cozy. They got a good thing going on there and I promise you won’t be disappointed.“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Waka Sakura sushi fun, food order slides down conveyor belt. Saturday 3p wait at 25 minutes much better than original 1 hour forecast. Nigiri combo plates good to compare tastes. Hand rolls on menu, no need to special order. Wide ranging menu, sushi classics and more.“

“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.“

“美味しゅうございました！“

“By far the best sushi I’ve ever had! The quality here is unmatched—the sushi is extremely fresh and cannot be beat. I ordered the Rainbow Roll, and it was made to absolute perfection with beautiful presentation and incredible flavor.

Not only was the sushi outstanding, but the Udon noodles were unbeatable—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. This place really delivers on taste, quality, and overall experience.

I will definitely be back in the future. If you’re a sushi lover, Sushi Island is a must-try!“

“Alway great fresh sushi with every visit. Happy a polite staff!!“

“Izakaya Ringo exceeded my expectations! Their fish was so fresh and melted in my mouth. Everything was reasonably priced and the service was incredibly kind and hospitable! Our waitress even asked if she should turn down the a/c after I put my jacket on. We will definitely be returning for more delicious food and vibes! Thank you!“

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

“I've tried a bit of sushi in the area and this might be my new favorite.

I've had Waka Sakura in the Tokyo Central Gardena and the BluFish in Torrance. Those have their time and place but if you want high quality fish with a mom and pop feel, this is the spot. It's also been around 22 years at the time of my review!

Everything is a la carte and you know it's a solid place when there's no rolls loaded with crab meat, cream cheese and spicy versions of everything (aka when they try to get rid of past fish).

First I got salmon, fatty tuna and Japanese mackerel. Delightful all around (but I'd skip the salmon to have more of the other two). This cost $7-9/each fish and they come with two pieces per order.

Next - sea eel tempura ($12). A simple crispy treat and a change up from the usual shrimp or vegetable tempura. I probably wouldn't get again but it was nice to try!

The steamed egg custard is the cutest little dollop of sunshine. I would end or start the meal with it since it's a nice palate cleanser ($6). It comes hot. Be careful #experience

My last round of fish was seabream (my first time and it was sooo soft/buttery), Spanish mackarel, and sea eel. Like the other round $7-9 each for an order of two. I liked the saltiness of the Japanese mackarel better personally.

Great meal and I'm already making mental notes for things I want to try next time.“

“I have been enjoying meals at Okane Umi since 2016. They have always been excellent in every category of service. The restaurant has had its share of ups and downs but I am happy with how strongly Okane Umi has powered up its menu and added some wonderfully flavorful genuine Japanese dishes. Im pleased they have reinforced their sushi, sashimi, chirashi offerings - I love this restaurant.“

“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.“

“Best place in town! Thank you Yoshisan! 💙 he’s BIG DODGER FAN LIKE ME! DODGER MEMORABILIA GALORE IN SMALL RESTAURANT!💙⚾️🤙“

“Friendly sushi chef and staff Fresh sushi and tasty kitchen food Highly recommend“

“Delicious sushi! Awesome service!“

“They offer a wide variety of dishes, ranging from traditional Chinese cuisine to creative Western cuisine, and there are many surprising combinations. In addition, the restaurant pays attention to the selection of raw materials and the innovation of cooking techniques to ensure that each dish can bring you the most extreme taste experience“

“Great service, Good food. :)“

“…up to date, elegant design. Spacious. Warm atmosphere. And most important- absolutely amazing food, beautifully arranged on the plates. Cheers to your chef! Not every restaurant in NYC can boast of a professional like the one you have!🥰“

“Fresh sashimi and nigiri with good selection of sake and beer“

“Great food 🍱 and great service!! Really awesome place“

“Pricey but really enjoyed the food. The shrimp was some of the best shrimp I ve had. Good sushi overall, the Toro had some tissue that was not chewable which was a little dissapointing. The eggplant and urchin pasta were good too. The dinner version of the pasta is very rish and filling.“

“Great sushi and rolls. Also, do not forget to look at the specials board.“

“Great food, like eating in Lima-Peru. Buen sabor al mejor Estilo Peruano.“

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

“Tucked away with the unassuming charm of a neighborhood spot in Tokyo, this Japanese restaurant in Gardena distinguishes itself through its devotion to temaki, the hand-rolled sushi format that rewards both simplicity and precision. The menu offers dozens of variations, and the kitchen's command of the form lends the room an authenticity that feels less like a dining concept and more like a transplant.

Lunch is where the value shines. Set menus arrive with the expected miso soup and a modest side, grounding the meal without overreaching. I opted for the five-temaki selection at $26 and, rather than navigate the extensive list myself, deferred to the server's recommendations. All five arrived together, cones standing at attention, each one thoughtfully composed, the seaweed still crisp at the point of eating. It was the right call: a spread that suggested a kitchen confident enough to let its own judgment do the talking. This is my new special Japanese place.“

“My first review! My visit here last night was nothing short of a revelation in the art of sushi dining. Celebrating its 17th year, this gem of a restaurant has not just stood the test of time; it has set the bar for what authentic Japanese cuisine can embody. Though it is not your modern izakaya nor fine-dining luxury, it firmly facets itself as the "OG" restaurant in the diverse Japanese dining scene. Immediately upon entering, I observed details of its classic entity by old decos of art, calligraphy, signs, photos, and handwritten notes. It was an ambiance that exuded warmth. I immediately felt the history and dedication woven into the fabric of this place. The owners have crafted not merely a restaurant but a sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer nuances of Japanese culture and cuisine. I opted for the sushi combo course. Each piece of sushi was a testament to the chef's mastery over his craft, with every ingredient shining through in a delicate balance of flavors and textures with a properly curated course. All the nigiri boasted freshness in a blend of tastes that was above satisfactory by the plate. But what truly sets Sushi Anza apart is the heart and soul poured into every aspect of the dining experience. From the attentive, yet unobtrusive service to the meticulous presentation of the dishes, you can feel the love and dedication that the owners have for their craft. It's this personal touch combined with an "aged" ambience that transforms a meal into an experience. In a world where the genuine essence of Japanese cuisine can sometimes be lost amidst fusion and innovation, Sushi Anza stands as a beacon of tradition and quality. Overall, my first visit here was a nostalgic journey through the very essence of Japanese tradition, guided by the hands of those who know and respect it the most. I cannot recommend Sushi Anza enough and look forward to many more visits. I hope to regain the same authentic warmth, excellence, and quality that hallmarks the culinary gems of Torrance.“

“Food was excellent. The place is pretty nice. We had probably about a 20 minute wait. They were very busy and unfortunately I think our waiter kind of forgot about us and we had to make a real effort to get his attention again when we needed our ticket. I think he had too many responsibilities going on. But otherwise, great experience.“

“Food 🍱 so good 😊“

“This place has a buy 2 get 1 free on their specialty rolls. Such a great deal! The sushi is pretty good. I come here often for quick takeout and occasional dine-in. They are friendly. There are a few tables available but it is more of a walk up and order type of thing. You dont have a waiter, but they will bring your food to you. Drinks are bottles, not in cup and if you want water you can fill a cup from the dispenser.“

“Service was very quick and considerate. We ordered the 911 (never forget), KFC, dragon, volcano, and avocado eel rolls among others. We also had the tempura ice cream. All the food was good and portions were good. My favorite roll was the KFC though the volcano roll was a close second.

Overall a great experience! Would definitely recommend to any sushi enjoyers!“

“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!!!“

“It’s the best sushi in San Pedro hands down. If you want a night of culinary adventure sit back and let Yoshi guide you through one. I’m a man who appreciates variety, so you can’t go wrong when everything on the menu is outstanding. I don’t know what else to say except that I’ll be there tonight. After typing this review and imagining it, I am not gonna try to fight the craving. Chirashi, Aji, Unagi roll, edamame and the best miso soup ever, I’m on my way, I’ll see you soon. 😘🌊🍣🍶🍻✌🏽 I ❤️ Tashiro Sushi + the entire staff. Your faithful lifetime customer/friend~Mario Franco“

“Two things that indicate this is a true Japanese cuisine . They serve real grated wasabi and the head chef looks like Mr Miyagi. 5 stars all around . Food is flawless and is freshly prepared so there is wait and gaps between dishes . Prepare to drink up. Wagyu skirt steak is incredible.“

“Indoor👍🏼👍🏼we opted for it but was surprised when they ushered us to the back portion of the restaurant. It makes you feel like you really are in an authentic Japanese Izakaya restaurant.“

“Service was excellent very friendly and beautiful view. Food was awesome.“

“Have eaten here about 10 times . This restaurant doesn’t disappoint. I’ve tried all there’s sushi roll which are always fresh and delicious.“

“Muy bueno Es muy agradable el ambiente“

“Absolutely loved Sushi Akito! The service was incredibly quick, and everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. There can be a wait, but it is 100% worth it! Definitely one of those places I would come back to again. Highly recommended!“
