26 Best Sushi Bars in Torrance

“Wonderful food and service in this casual setting. We walked in on a Friday night and got a table right away. They were happy to accommodate my picky guest's modification requests and the food was all fresh and prepared perfectly. Everyone was so nice and there are some rare and hard to find treats on the menu, highly recommended!“

“We love Sushi Time! It’s one of the best local sushi spots in Torrance. My wife and I will call in for pick up and it’s always so quick. We get the eel avocado roll all the time, easily the best sushi they have. We’ve tried the shrimp tempura too but the eel sauce is good. The wasabi is spicy but could definitely be spicier! All in all, highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for delicious sushi at a good price. Owners are really kind as well and sometimes give special service!!“

“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.“

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

“The Omakase, while a little pricey ($62/per person) was awesome. A nice mixture of of sushi that I would not have ordered myself. The service was quite good and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is a little bland, but also on par for local sushi restaurants. I will be back!“

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

“The staff is very friendly here and the sushi was so fresh and delicious. I ordered 3 salmon rolls that were 4 pieces each and the fish was so rich. I also really loved the extra Hello Panda cookies they threw in which just happened to be my favorite. I will definitely be back for more! They might just be my new favorite sushi spot.“

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

“I’m and all my family, lots of my friends are regular customers from the first day this place was open in early 2000.. This is the only place I trust and eat raw fish. Gina, managing this restaurant all these years. She knows every one names, food preferences and always treats us very very friendly!
If you want sushi, this is a right place to go to.“

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

“Hidden jem for lunch specials, I recommend getting one of their take out lunch combos, chicken or salmon teriyaki and tempura combo is my go-to. Comes with the main choice, sticky rice, various tempura vegetables and two tempura shrimp, tempura dipping sauce, miso soup, and a side salad, all for like $13, and it's very fresh and delicious! Closed Mondays though.“

“Dinner for 2 persons, shared appetizer and 2 combo plates, green tea, 100$.
Ueno could be a great restaurant because the food is of quality. The combo dinner plates were copious. Unfortunately, they were served with large portions of jasmine rice instead of quality Japanese rice like Koishikari.
But the worse part is the place itself. Country music? Puking. Kindergarten decor? Horrible. Lighting: bad. TV with sports? Why?

Greeting was non existant. One chef looked at us from the kitchen but simply ignored us after just a glimpse. Is this a private club? A waiter entered the dining area but did not notice us, we had to make some sound and gesture.
The place was around 30% occupied, quite underwhelming
This place has all the potential of attracting a nice clientele because the food quality is there. Make it seriously Japanese !
Cover the windows (who wants to see traffic?), remove the preschool decor, dim the lights, remove the TV, add a sushi counter, and mainly, train the personnel. Being ignored at the door when only 4 tables are occupied is strange.
No reservation needed, place is empty! By 20:00 parking was full, with quite non existing street parking. Not good.“

“AYCE!!!!! We ordered too much food and were supposed to be charged for it but the servers were SO kind they only charged us $5 more for a bunch of leftovers we took it all home to our son that couldn’t come with us due to work and he got to eat a bunch of sushi for just $5!!! Whuaaaat??? That’s craaazy kind of them. Of course we went back and this time brought our son for his birthday dinner and he enjoyed it very much again!!!! So so so so nice. Love the sushi but a lot of them do taste similar. I love the rolls with lemon and mango they’re so refreshing! Outstanding service though really you guys ROCK. Thank you!!!!! Great price great quality, great customer service!!! Xoxoxo“

“Ise-Shima is the Japanese restaurant of the Miyako Hybrid Hotel in Torrance, Los Angeles. The main dining room of the hotel restaurant is elegant and spacious. Servers are polite, accommodating, and professional. Although price is not cheap, the Tuna Lunch Special (USD 46) is fresh and delicious.“

“No dress code, friendly staff and good food.“

“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.“

“It feels like it’s gotten more expensive over time, but I’ve been coming here for 20 years. It’s one of my all-time favorite restaurants, and I’d be genuinely sad if it ever closed. The staff are always very friendly. While it may not feel particularly modern or spotless, it offers a comforting, homey atmosphere. The food is also consistently delicious.“

“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“

“I absolutely love this restaurant—it feels like I’ve stepped straight into Japan.** It’s cute and quaint, and while the parking lot is small, I’ve always been able to find a spot (plus there’s extra parking in the adjacent lot). You really get the best of all worlds here.

We had nigiri sushi that was incredibly fresh—**especially the toro**, which they only have in limited quantities each day. If it’s available, don’t hesitate! The oysters are **to die for**—they’re on the larger side but super fresh with a buttery finish.

We also had beef tongue, fried chicken, tamago, and a few meat skewers—all fantastic. I’m a big fan of their **rich pork broth** too. Most of the staff are Japanese, which makes the experience feel even more authentic and welcoming.

They also have a great sake selection, and if you don’t finish your bottle, you can take it home. Everything is clean, and the presentation is on point. Perfect spot for **lunch, dinner, or a cozy date night!“

“Food was delicious. 👍😋👍😋👍“

“Small restaurant selling sushi, rolls, rice bowls, udon, ramen etc at more affordable prices and yet maintaining good quality. Water cups are available if you want to avoid soda drinks. Order at the front counter and food will be served to you at your table but you need to clear your table after you're done. Miso soup is not good though so you can skip that. The serving of the rice bowl and udon is quite small.“

“I honestly only docked one star for their ramen we went for my son's birthday as he likes sushi now but they also have other options for food like ramen. Unfortunately the ramen was really boring no flavor really small and they don't offer spice except for chili powder that is not even spicy at all. Other than that the servers were nice. The atmosphere was great and it was amazing to see the little robot and the way the converter belts bring the sushi around and to your table“

“Delicious! The best sushi restaurant in town.“

“Food here is good and service here is fast too! Will come back, especially for their lunch hours as it contains a selective amount of entrees that comes with a side of rice and soup!! Good if you want something fast and yummy, but just know it’s only delivery and take outs only.“

“Super busy Saturday at lunch, so it's a very popular place. I ordered on the app and got $5 off my first order. Had to tell them at the counter that I had an online order because no one else had one and I was afraid they didn't have my order. It took a few minutes past my estimated time to get my food.

The food is fresh and very tasty. The chicken was a bit too tough for my toddler to eat, but she liked the noodles and shrimp and California rolls.

The food is quite salty, so probably best for an occasional treat.“
