50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Seal Beach

“The best sushi experience!“

“Here is my favorite sushi restaurant.

First, the chef is friendly, and most importantly, the reasonably priced rolls and sushi are very satisfying.

I ordered based on the server's recommendations, and overall, I was pleased with the dishes. Although I couldn't take a picture, you must try the langostino baked roll!!!“

“We were staying at a nearby hotel and the restaurant was closing soon. The staff were pleasant anns the restaurant was clean and nice. Our food was cooked perfectly with great flavor and I loved the gluten free soy sauce! We highly recommend this restaurant“

“Horrible customer service! We have been wanting to try it and were in the area today… cashier was friendly and polite, but when we got home we were given the wrong order. They handed us our bag, we asked if it was the bento box, and were told it was, but it wasn’t. Honest mistake. I called to see if I could come back tomorrow to get it replaced, at first the cashier said yes, just give him my name. The manager got on the phone, told me it was my fault and she had already lost too much money on it and that she wasn’t going to make me another. She kept arguing then hung up on me 😡. Sadly, we will never go back.“

“Just discovered Aburi, had a great experience all around.. their staff, food, and atmosphere were all top notch. Adding this to our go-to lunch spots. Oh, and great value (prices/specials) too! Give it a shot if you’re looking for a new sushi spot in HB.“

“This place is easily one of the best sushi spots on 2nd street, delicious options with plentiful portions. I tried the Mexican, AAA roll and the deep fried California roll with all 3 being stellar. The atmosphere is lively and the greeting when you walk in from the sushi chefs is nice ?

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu portion has 4 different options, basic chicken with veggies and rice being one of them.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs (:“

“Tried this place a few days ago, ended up going there 2 days in a row! First visit I tried their Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Extra Hot sauce and fries, and it was a hooting delightful! Next I tried their Garlic Parmesan wings - ordered extra so I could put them in fridge to eat later. Very high quality food!“

“service and the food was excellent our waitress Sherry bear was awesome“

“I wanna do this business justice without turning this local gem into a spot where you have to wait 50 mins to be seated.

The sushi is fresh and tasty - manageable portions so you can really try a bunch of things without completely over-ordering.

My wife and I have made this our local AYCE sushi joint. Will 1000% be back! 🍣“

“We get lunch or dinner at Maruichi AT LEAST twice a week! The karaage and different types of musubi are really, really good. They sometimes run out of the karaage, so that tells you how much people like it. The karaage is marinated well and cooked perfectly. It's a bummer when they run out of the karaage because the options around just can't compare. Give them around 30 minutes to fry the chicken because it's made to order. You won't be disappointed... Speaking of which, I'm going to order some now. For the musubi, I highly recommend the tuna and kurobota (sausage) -- the sausage musubi comes with the perfect amount of wasabi. This place is an absolute gem.“

“The staff are friendly. We enjoyed the Kitchen boat. The garlic fried rice with chicken was very good and tasted similar to hibachi fried rice. Brought my young nephews and they enjoyed the beef and chicken teriyaki. Will definitely come again and will try other sushi and noodles dishes.“

“Roll & Teriyaki is a good local spot for delicious, fast-casual Japanese food at affordable prices. The quiet and clean dining area will accommodate small groups or solo diners.

The menu boasts Japanese favorites that most people will be familiar with. The value-packed combos are a real treat. I've also enjoyed the chicken and beef teriyaki bowls, as well as the sushi and roll offerings. While they may not offer as many fish varieties as other places, the ones they do have are all fresh and satisfying.

For a small, mom-and-pop restaurant, I'm glad there's a place like this close to home and affordable. The service is good. I've visited many times and the owner is a man of few words. The other staff have been nice as well.

If you're on a budget and craving Japanese food, R&T is worth checking out. There is plenty of parking in the public lot.“

“So good!!! A must when in Orange County!“

“This place did not appear automatically on Google Maps and we just saw it in the area. But so glad we did! Got the donkatsu (Donkkaseu) combo with soba. Portions were pleasantly larger than expected and we felt contently full afterwards. The katsu was fried perfectly and had a nice crunch! The donkatsu had lots of meat, and there were also side dishes that came with the meal!

It definitely felt like we got our value's worth.“

“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.“

“The food was amazing! Meat was high quality, service was fast ,and all the servers were so kind! From the meats to side dishes and drinks it was delishhh!
We had a party of 6 and we got seated quickly on a busy weekend!
Our first time here but won’t be our last time! We will be back more often! Thank you Andy and all the servers who made our experience so wonderful!“

“1st time ordering here. I normally don’t order rolls b/c I don’t tolerate all that Mayo, different sauces and fake Kray.

I ordered the shrimp tempura roll which was the shrimp, avocado, and cucumber 🥒. LOVED IT! 5 ⭐️

The nigiri 🍣 was sooooo fresh, every piece melted like butter in my mouth even after refrigerating some pieces for later (I ordered too much & had to break up the meal) 5 ⭐️“

“Our second time( we’re from Long Beach) and we love coming back here because of the foods:etc.“

“Quality fresh food for a cheap price! Located next to Starbucks and Subway, this place is owned by a very sweet family. I would definitely recommend getting the chicken beef plate, but everything on their menu is delicious. Support local businesses during this rough time!“

“I just randomly stopped in for an Asahi beer.Then I decided to try the RISING SUN ROLL. OMG.super delicious and mouth watering. I'm coming back with my friends“

“If I could choose a meal to eat for the rest of my life I would say this is it! I’m from Utah, was in town for a couple of days and I always crave Hibachi. Utahs food is boring, bland and flavorless. Found this spot as I was rolling through Long Beach and decided to stop. The lady at the counter was super nice and welcoming! My order was done pretty quick and did not have to wait long. She offered to open my bottles Coke as well. The food was awesome and flavorful! If I’m out this way again I’ll definitely stop by! ???????“

“This place really took me by surprise. I thought it was going to be a decent experience for the pricing. I tried and was not disappointed. This place is actually pretty fire ? if you’re an omakase eater. Most of the cooked dishes were surprisingly bomb ?. So I give this a place a recommendation for being in GG.“

“Delicious food, great preparation and presentation!“

“The place is clean and welcoming. The food here was amazing. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Katsu sandwich with curry dip was amazing. But you have to try the seasonal dishes like the eggplant sandwich and salmon bowl. If you’re looking for non heavy, comforting food, this is it!“

“Great service and good vibes.“

“The food here is delicious! Simply put.
I also like how there isn't a need for waiters here. They have a tablet at each table where you place an order of the items you want and they bring it to you (and rather quickly too). You don't pay on the tablet so it's more like your adding requests for items you want in real time and they bring it to you.
It's nice and peaceful inside and it made it easy to relax as I ate a meal by myself.“

“great food and great service 👍“

“The Current offers a lot of convenience with its prime location in the middle of DTLB. The connected retailers, including Hi-Lo Liquor, Qargo coffee, Sushi Beluga, and BMore Pizza, make everyday errands and dining out incredibly convenient. The amenities are outstanding. I can enjoy a relaxing day at the beautiful 4th-floor terrace or take a dip in the pool on the 17th floor, both offering great spots to unwind and take in the views. Additionally, The Current hosts a variety of events, from the big Grand Prix party to smaller gatherings like yoga on the 17th floor, which adds a vibrant and engaging community feel to the place. The staff at The Current, particularly Raelle and Denisse, always make me feel welcomed and valued. Their friendliness and attentiveness greatly enhance the living experience, making it feel like home. Overall, The Current offers an exceptional living environment with its convenient location, excellent amenities, and welcoming staff. Highly recommended!“

“H.B. Roll for me. Beef udon(noodles on the side) for my wife. This is our usual go-to. But I got really sick last week 😭“

“Highly recommend! Great for the whole family. The server was super nice and the food was delicious! We ordered the burrito way and the baked Alaska. Excellent. The fish melted in the mouth and the sauces were yummy. Great presentation too. The kids had tamago. They always like the sweet egg sushi.

Kid-friendliness: I always see family with kids here. And my kids eat their food. All good.“

“I really love the sushi 🍣 rolls here. I also love the Salmon Teriyaki Combo!! Sushi is on point !! I’ll definitely be coming back to grab some food to go here. It’s also great for families with kids who don’t eat sushi as they also have burgers that are perfect for the kiddos.“

“Small Japanese Teriyaki place. Food was good at a decent price. I had the Chicken Teriyaki and was delicious. Chicken was nicely cook and good size not thin like some teriyaki places. Portions were good but I did ask to only have a chicken and rice, no soybeans or ginger.
Will come back and try other dishes for sure. Place looked clean and well kept. Owners were nice as well.“

“I was going back to the yard to part my semi and I thought I’d get something quick to snack on at the corner store but it wasn’t open. The next thing open beside it was LUCKILY Tokyo Grill! I was hungry and I was going to wait til I got home but I decided to get the chicken bowl because I saw it was 9 bucks. I didn’t expect much as I took it to my truck and man was I blown away. The flavor of the chicken was so delicious and the amount of ingredients they put into the bowl is unbelievable. It had green beans pineapple carrot slices cabbage and some other vegetables. I was amazed for how much food they gave me for the plate only being 9 bucks and they put a lot of chicken in there which was a big plus. I didn’t have to dig around for any chicken.That’s why I’m writing this review, hopefully it helps anyone thinking coming to eat here. Oh and I also had really dirty hands and the lady at the cash register which I believe was part owner, gave me some wipes and was really nice. I’m pretty sure their other dishes are great too. I didn’t take a picture of my food because I was really hungry but it’s worth each penny I wasted.“

“Did you know that there lies a quaint sushi place that has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike? Now, you do! Kyotori has a warm, inviting vibe. It offers a casual dining experience that doesn't compromise on the quality of its dishes.The menu has an array of sushi options, from the classic rolls, nigiri and sashimi to more innovative ones that cater to both traditional and adventurous tastebuds. Each dish is prepared with the freshest ingredients. The chefs take great pride in their creations.The Jalapeño Albacore Roll and the Scallop & Lobster Baked Roll stand out as must-try dishes for any sushi lover. The Jalapeño Albacore Roll has excellent balance and flavor. This roll blends heat and delicacy in a way that enhances the fish's natural flavor without overpowering it.The Scallop & Lobster Baked Roll is a luxurious indulgence and my favorite! This roll is generously filled with tender scallops and succulent lobster, then topped with a creamy, savory sauce before being baked to perfection. It is a comforting dish. The seafood is cooked just right, maintaining its juiciness. It's a dish that both comforts and excites, making it an unforgettable part of any meal at Kyotori.What sets this restaurant apart, however, is not just the quality of its food but the exceptional service. Dave and Thinh went above and beyond to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, making diners feel valued and appreciated. Whether you are a sushii connoisseur or a newcomer to Japanese cuisine, Kyotori offers an enjoyable meal that promises to leave you coming back for more!“

“Had the katsu curry done as well as the tempura udon here. The katsu curry was super tender, juicy, and very well made. The tempura udon was just okay -- there were a lot of ingredients, but something lacking in the overall flavor. But this place is super affordable, the food is good to excellent, and the service extremely efficient.“

“I like to stop by here for lunch during the week when I'm at work. It's has plenty of parking, and the service is always quick. Fair prices for all the items but I usually order the cheese burger with a drink. Even with a tip is fair inexpensive. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick delicious bite.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy for wheelchair access“

“I recommend everything, thank you for lunch...“

“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, delicious sushi. Friendly people . Great location. Would recommended and we will be back again.“

“My brother and I wanted to try a new ramen place and ended up here. The food itself was great as I got the bulduk ramen and tempura shrimp and my brother got the tonkatsu. It was all good until I wanted the check. We sat for 30 minutes waiting for a check. The front of staff was more concerned with the group next to us or being idle. I have pressed to call for a server multiple times and hearing the ping letting them know a table needed help but I could not get their attention. I only got my check after the table next to us asked for a check when I told them I wanted a check. I partly blame the system for not properly letting the staff know since the ping only went off for a server request but also for how unattentive the staff is to some other guests. We were at the corner of the bar.“

“If you ever get the opportunity to attend the Omakase dinner. You'll be amazed!“

“Wonderful crispy tofu appetizer. For entree we had ahi tuna and also the Scottish salmon with vegetables. Awesome! We ordered a few glasses of chardonnay. It was all delicious in a cozy restaurant with friendly staff that made it a great dinner experience. We arrived at 8.15pm, the kitchen last call is 8.30pm. We ordered everything right away. At 8.30pm they did come around for last call from the kitchen. We had an enjoyable dinner experience.“

“I went there for the first time I ordered 5 piece sashimi was very good and fresh ordered twice and delicious oysters omg 😳 and sashimi scallops was outstanding I give this restaurant 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We tried the dancing mango, rainbow roll, and red curry everything was delicious, the service was great too. We'll be back!!

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and enough space for babies. We brought a baby here and had no issues.“

“After my husband and I picked up orders from Yoshinoya, we noticed a restaurant across the Beach Boulevard advertising takeout deals: two Teriyaki Chicken Bowls for $13, two California Rolls for $9.50, and a buy-one-get-one-50%-off deal on any rolls. So we decided to swing by and grab some Teriyaki Chicken Bowls to go a week later.

When we walked in, there was an Asian auntie and a young staff behind the counter. As we ordered, we got to chatting, and the auntie told us that she used to own a restaurant in Buena Park for 18 years before moving to Stanton in this location 7 years ago. (She might be the owner but I’m not 100% sure) She proudly assured us that everything the restaurant served is fresh and delicious. Just by looking at the neatly arranged ingredients at the sushi bar section, I could already tell this place is good.

We ordered the takeout special: two Teriyaki Chicken Bowls for $13. It was such a great deal, and they were indeed very delicious. The chicken was tender, and the sauce had a refreshing hint of lemon. The bowls came with two slices of carrot, cabbage, and broccoli, along with a perfectly portioned amount of rice. Just as the auntie guaranteed , it was tasty and worth every penny. (If you dine in, there’s no discount. These deals are only for takeout.)

The menu offers a lot of variety. The lunch specials (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM) seem like a steal. Here are some combos it offers as follows and we’ll definitely be back to try more.

- **Combo A**: Chicken Bowl + California Roll for $10.95
- **Combo B**: Beef Bowl + California Roll for $12.50
- **Combo C**: Spicy Chicken Bowl + California Roll for $11.95
- **Combo D**: Udon + California Roll for $11.95
- **Combo E**: Udon + Spicy Tuna Roll for $13.95

Just last week, my friend and his family of seven came to visit Disneyland. They were craving for Asian food, so I picked up some Teriyaki Chicken Bowls from here and brought them to the park. Everyone loved the teriyaki bento ? , even the picky kids finished their bowls. Highly recommend this place.

“We often visit this place with family because of its fresh ingredients and friendly service. The quality is outstanding for the price, and we’ve always had a satisfying experience. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are welcoming, making it easy to enjoy a relaxed meal.“

“Did take out tonight Fantastic fresh sushi, salad, catsu, Wasabi Just straight up good, nothing fancy. Just impressive quality. We we will be back 👍😊“

“Great food, place and service! 👍👍👍“

“My daughter and I have been on a teriyaki spree during our trip, so we decided to give this place a try. The online menu doesn't show everything they offer. Besides the usual chicken and beef teriyaki bowls and plates, they also have wraps, salads, and quesadillas. You can also get brunch/breakfast items like waffles, crepes, pancakes, and smoothies. A very wide range of options. The shrimp options are crossed off the menu in the store.

The lady behind the counter was super nice and patient as I couldn't decide what I wanted. My daughter got a chicken wrap, and I got a half-and-half beef and chicken teriyaki bowl. The meat was well-cooked (the beef was not chewy but very tender), but the teriyaki sauce is served on the side or on top of the meat, not seared and marinated in it. It was good but not as good as some other teriyaki places we visited, and the price was the same.

The store was very clean, and everything was made to order. There is a small seating area outside. We would eat here again if we didn't have other options.

Parking: Plenty of free plaza parking“
