50 Best Sushi Bars near San Pedro

“Since I'm a very picky Japanese food eater, I tend to avoid anything that might be Japanese where it's not 100% Japanese. That said, I do enjoy the Thai food here. It's decent and filling. The staff are polite and I like it because it's in walking distance for me.

I have tried some Japanese-ish food like the lobster rolls or teriyaki chicken. Those dishes weren't bad if you consider them more California Asian cuisine. The prices are what you might expect these days for a spot like this. They do have lunch time specials so I think those are worth making the trip if you're in the area and want some decent Thai etc or something different.“

“So fun! love the HAPPY FISH! Going to see him tonight!“

“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.“

“After a long drive I was still hungry, sushi was calling. HOW is this the only place open late for sushi in San Pedro!?!Thank goodness they were! Hit the spot.Very fresh and expedient, all the fixin's given in little sealed bags. Decent combos.All ingredients seemed high quality and well prepared. Wide selection.

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

“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!“

“Best dining experience in a long while!!!
The people are soooo happy, the atmosphere is chill.
The food is top notch and you don’t have to take out a second mortgage to afford it. You can’t get enough!!!
We live in Orange County and it’s worth the drive!!!“

“This is our favorite restaurant and has been from first visit. Just finished dining a 4th time now. Only a couple of restaurants stand up to the test of time like this. Chef also provides a relaxed yet personable approach that meets you where you are. Truly an experience to savor both in food and company.“

“The food conveyor belt is efficient & user friendly. The food itself is good, with a few caveats. In the mood for nigiri & sashimi? This is the place to get it conveniently and with good quality. In the mood for rolls that aren’t your basic California/tuna? This place will disappoint. But, they also have great dessert! The yuzu cheesecake is SO good. It’s really only 4 stars because of the rolls being so lackluster. They also only do brown rice which is fine I guess but not preferred.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“good sushi and locally owned“

“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.“

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

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

“Despite serving authentic Japanese cuisine, the prices are very reasonable. The fish is especially fresh and flavorful, so I highly recommend the sashimi and nigiri sushi. Their house specialty soup called “San-chan” has a rich mushroom aroma and is the perfect way to finish the meal.

The restaurant is located in the former Kantaro space, but the management is completely new. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and overall it’s a place I would definitely recommend.“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“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.“

“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!“

“My family and I went there for lunch on a Friday. The restaurant was full, and we were seated in a private room where you had to take off your shoes to enter. The service was excellent, and the menu featured unique items at reasonable prices. We will definitely return for more.“

“Really great Japanese restaurant. Miso soup is legit - brothy with lots of adds with seaweed, green onion and tofu. Super flavorful. Green tea is steep yourself in suoer hot water for the right depth of tea, and truly great flavor. Sushi (spicy tuna) was delish. So glad I took my car in for servicing down the street and needed a lunch place while I waited!“

“When sushi has the correct ingredients, its marvelous. This has the right ingredients, good portions and very elegant flavors, really enjoyed it.

The lady in the front desk is delightful, so customer driven and so happy. I wish there would be more people like her in the world.

Not sure its always, but they have but 2 get 1 free, that also helped.“

“We absolutely love Fusion Sushi in Hermosa Beach! The fish is always fresh, tender, and full of flavor, and the sushi is consistently amazing. Suzie’s service is exceptional—she always takes such great care of us and makes us feel genuinely welcome. This restaurant truly feels like home, and we can’t recommend it enough!“

“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.“

“Great service, Good food. :)“

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

“Delicious sushi! Awesome service!“

“…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!🥰“

“Excellent sushi restaurant in Torrance, CA. The quality of the sashimi and sushi is outstanding at this restaurant. The seafood is very fresh and the price reasonable compared to the big cities like New York. The service was very friendly and efficient. We will definitely return again.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“This restaurant is clearly one of the most attractive place in the region. Whenever I come to this place I am exceedingly satisfied. They manage their very high standard service and the topmost level of meals they serve. You surely will enjoy this this restaurant. Highly recommended.“

“Absolutely fabulous experience.

As soon as you walk in, you are met with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere befitting such a nice restaurant. The menu is full of variety, with classic staples like gyoza and tuna rolls while also featuring special dishes, with my personal favorite being the spider rolls, which are absolutely delicious. Service is quite fast and the owner is extremely welcoming to customers. It is clear that the owner really puts their heart into the food and makes it impossible not to enjoy the meals prepared for you.

Absolutely would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for an affordable and enjoyable meal.“

“Overall a solid sushi place. Their hand rolls are uniquely flavored. I do think some are a bit heavy on the salt so getting the sauce on the side made a big difference. The slices of sushi you get is a good amount which is probably what I liked the most about this place. The chili on the salmon hand roll was crispy and I wasn't expecting that so I really liked it!“

“Again and Again....5 Star Product and Service. This place is a great American local favorite! The Food and Presentation is delicate and mouth watering. Customers can comfortably talk to their Date or Friends with the serene ambience. Free parking and a very welcoming staff. Tell the chef, Lola sent you!“

“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!!!“

“Food 🍱 so good 😊“

“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!“

“1st timer on this visit and we chose AYCE. The sushi was very fresh, but I had to rate a star less because the rice was too overwhelming in every order. Their prices are very reasonable, but I would rather have the option to pay more for less rice.“

“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.“

“Excellent in every way. Perfect!!!“

“ad an amazing Sunday lunch here and honestly — this was the best sushi I’ve ever had. Every single bite tasted premium. You can immediately tell the quality of the fish and ingredients are on another level — incredibly fresh, clean flavors, and perfectly prepared. Sitting at the sushi bar made it even better because you can actually see the freshness and care that goes into everything being made.

I ordered the green mussels, spicy garlic edamame, the WTF Roll, Wagyu sushi, and the Tuna Lover Roll — and every dish was outstanding. The Wagyu sushi completely blew me away… I’ve never had Wagyu like that before. It literally melted in my mouth. The presentation across the board was beautiful and showed real attention to detail.

Huge shoutout to Ugo at the sushi bar — incredibly kind, welcoming, and passionate about what he does. He even let me try a roll I was curious about, which made the experience feel personal and memorable.

If you’re looking for top-tier sushi with premium ingredients and an amazing atmosphere, this place is absolutely worth it. I’ll definitely be coming back“

“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“
