50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Long Beach

“Incredibly popular — and it’s easy to see why! Even though they were super busy with orders, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. My sushi arrived fresh, neatly packed, and absolutely delicious. You can tell they care about quality, even during a rush. Great food, great value, and totally worth the wait. Will definitely order again!“

“I love going to Sherry Blossom! Food is amazing and healthy and the menu has been expanding. Best pork gyoza! Wish I could help open another store! Keep it up!“

“quality sushi for what seems like a 100 years. Amazing service and one of the most welcoming environments in long beach“

“Food always fresh and delicious, staff friendly.“

“Very good place to relax and have some drinks. Food is stupendous exquisite 😋 more than 5 stars“

“Very enjoyable sushi restaurant. I went here for a good dinner and was able to try a good spread of sushi for a reasonable cost.We started with the pork gyoza, which was nice and pan-fried with a side of the classic ginger sauce. For rolls, we tried the Philly roll, atlantic beach roll, pink panther roll, and million dollar roll. All fresh and tasty, but nothing really stood out above the rest.I would recommend this place for some good choices of sushi.

Parking: Parking is across the street in the lot.“

“I'd recommend this place ... sort of. We chose to sit on the dining side since it was only two of us and didn't want the "show". The service was friendly and good but not overly attentive. Our drinks were very good and a fair price (we had the Oceanside Zombie but without the Sprite added). We both ordered the hibachi surf and turf (lobster and filet mignon) which came with a house salad and clear soup, both of which we really enjoyed. The filet was tasty but the pieces were cut very unevenly so some pieces were medium rare and others were close to well done. The lobster tail was very small and too salty. I would not order it again. I was completely disappointed that the veggies were drowning in teriyaki sauce. There was no indication on the menu that they are served in sauce. I typically love hibachi vegetables but I hate teriyaki sauce! They reminded me more of Chinese takeout vegetables than Japanese hibachi. The fried rice was good but not the best. It came with lots of peas and I hate peas. Another disappointment but not a surprise was they don't offer hibachi mustard sauce. Like so many other places these days they offer yum yum sauce instead which we refused because, yuck yuck. They offered us some ice cream on the house (I think because the server knew I was very disappointed about the teriyaki sauce). It came to the table in little plastic cafeteria style cups with the pull back paper top. LOL. I'm glad it did though because the top listed the ingredients and let's just say, we immediately sent the ice cream back. All in all, not the greatest hibachi experience but also not the worst. I would maybe go back for drinks and try some other menu items ... and hold the teriyaki sauce!“

“Hidden Gem!! This is by far the best sushi I have ever had. I order from Toyo at least once a week! Everything is super fresh and the size of the sushi pieces is substantial. Their rolls are terrific. Would absolutely recommend! Delivery is exceptional, expect to wait about 30-40 minutes, but it is worth the wait.“

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

“Had a bento box for lunch and was really impressed! The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was beautiful, and the portions were generous. The tempura was perfectly crispy, and everything tasted great. Tina was so sweet, genuine, and welcoming — 10/10 would definitely come back“

“Just ate here for the first time last night - a friend highly recommended it. The food was amazing - we had two poke bowls, chicken teriyaki, vegetable fried rice, shumai, Chicken negimaki - everything delicious. Can’t wait to go back!“

“two days ago was the first time in this excellent restaurant. But It is surely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the efficient service, with the high quality meal and wine and with the honest cost. We will no doubt visit there again.“

“Best sushi on the south shore.“

“Great service. Ken is the man on the grill??????????…. Five star service“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“Love love this place! Our new go to“

“Omg this place makes great food. Get the hamburger. I was so impressed with the quality, presentation and flavor. This is one special spot.“

“I love this place. Sushi and cheap drinks, good drinks too! Way better than Tobiko by King Kullen. Staff is super friendly and the place is nicely decorated, chill music not too loud, and they deliver! I hope this place stays here, really awesome. I always stop in whenever I'm around
Edit 2024: They no longer deliver :(
But the quality has not declined!“

“It’s just real good !! They check all the boxes ! Go enjoy a nice dinner or lunch !“

“Delicious and fresh food. Entire family enjoyed!“

“Honestly I haven't had sushi this fresh and high quality in a long time. Even the mango was perfectly ripe
(which is hit or miss at most restaurants). The salad greens were fresh and not wilted . I was impressed and will definitely go back.“

“The environment of this restaurant is very good. The lady at the front desk took my order very carefully. The food is not only beautiful in appearance, but also tastes great. There are many choices of dishes and the price is not high. It is suitable for a try 👍“

“We came in on a Sunday about 8:40, well before the listed 9:30 closing time, and were warned as we came in that they actually close at 9:20. It seemed odd that it would be an issue with plenty of time to order; but apparently unlike most restaurants the closing time is a matter of when they expect you to actually leave.

Still, with seemingly enough time, we ordered, and the appetizer - soft shell crab - came quickly. Unfortunately, though it was not one of the dishes listed as “spicy”, it came with spicy mayo on top. I told the server that I can’t eat spicy food, would not have ordered it if I had known, and asked her to take it back. She gave me an argument, saying I should have told her I can’t eat spicy food. I pointed out that since they list some dishes specifically as spicy, one would assume - as in most other restaurants - that the rest are not. She reluctantly took it back, and informed us the Angel Roll we had ordered, also not labeled spicy, came with spicy mayo on top as well, so we also asked for that to be redone.

This pushed things closer to closing time, and rushed our meal a bit. But I have to say that the food was wonderful: The crab crisp outside, moist inside; the sushi fresh, and the pineapple shrimp fried rice delicious.

So despite the unfortunate attitude we encountered, this restaurant is well worth the trip for the excellent food. Just keep in mind that the closing time is not what’s listed on the website. And that it’s best, whatever the menu says, to ask details before ordering.“

“i got the teriyaki chicken and shrimp and it was so good! my boyfriend got it a week before and gave me a bite. had me craving it for a week and when i finally got it, did not disappoint. we split a plate and it was more than enough for both of us come come come !“

“KINHA SUSHI IS THE SPOT!!

The atmosphere is amazing and the food is too good. My server made great suggestions. I love sushi but my Dad is not for raw fish. So I'm always looking for a spot that gives me that sea and land mix for him. Kinha is that perfect balance. Great for father-daughter dinners.

He says it's a little better than our usual spot in RVC.

Important tips: Remember to go in through the back where there's parking!“

“Great food, great service😊“

“Absolutely 💯 out of 10 Service Servers Food Experience Amazing!! do not miss out!! we will definitely be back!!“

“The Absolute Beat hibachi ever!!! Amazing people and the freshest foods ever!!! We love going to Merrick Suki!!!“

“The service is great. The people are even better. This place reminds me of why I fell in love sushi in the first place. The sushi is super fresh. I am allergic to shellfish and I have never had a problem with cross contamination. I love the bodywork’s! I highly recommend it!!!“

“Unbelievable! Great food, great fun, and the best service! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Always good, all the time. Been going to Komo for some time. I enjoy the sushi. From special rolls to the simple and classic, always fresh and delicious. My wife gets their hot food, also very good. For takeout or dine in, give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

Parking: Park in the lot behind the restaurant if you can't find a spot on the street.“

“I just wanted to get something quick, I found out they had cards they can stamp to eventually get a free meal. I’ve been here about 4 other times and no other cashier has ever mentioned that to me until Alexa did tonight. She ended up giving me two for filled up cards which she didn’t have to. Her customer service was fantastic. And would definitely keep coming again. Everyone is very nice and friendly in there. Would recommend.“

“My girlfriend and I visited the restaurant! The cuisine pleased us with exquisite dishes and affordable prices. The atmosphere is imbued with the spirit of ancient Japan. The most tender, like balloons, shrimps were especially memorable. The only thing missing to complete the picture is craft beer. As I understand it, only bottled beer is available, but unfortunately, there is no draft beer. Although, perhaps, I did not have time to think everything through.“

“best Hibachi restaurant on long Island 5 stars worth the drive.“

“Taste good“

“If you’re looking for the most delicious Asian cuisine & sushi and have never been to Sakura, you don’t know what you are missing! This is our favorite place for dinner, take out & party platters for special occasions. Their food is always a work of art & so yummy! Whether you order ala carte or take advantage of their all you can eat menu, you will leave happily satisfied, every single time!“

“I loved the Teriyaki meal I purchased with shrimp! They also had awesome customer service to go along with it. I was met with a smile and the staff was very polite. The Chicken teriyaki has a nice savory taste and crunch to it almost. Cooked perfectly and It's a bit sweet. Right amount of seasoning and I loved that. It's some of the best Teriyaki i've purchased. I will be returning and I recommend trying their food.“

“A++ come here for teriyaki in this area“

“Food is always fresh, innovative and delicious. cons service: you feel like you are on a 1/2 hour lunch “rush” no matter day or evening. While enjoying your appetizer and warm sake, the wait staff piles down your entree …. I’ve learned to order my entree after I’ve completely finished my app. going for years, wait staff no personable skills though very polite. Decor cosmopolitan, they spent a lot of money on the chairs but now the faux leather vinyl is sagging, peeling and it’s hard to find a comfortable seat. I overall love and support this hidden diamond in the rough Asian restaurant“

“Amazing food, ordered here in the past and had the best Japanese food I have had outside the city. Hell, they are in my top 2 now and the 1st place is a 5 star place. Perfectly prepared, flavors are on point and freshness is there. Great portions for the price and I hope they only get better. Next time I go, I'll add some photos to show you how good it looks.“

“Absolutely recommend. Try the sashimi pizza. It’s phenomenal. Everything about the place is great. Well worth the visit.“

“Friendly staff and tasty food“

“We love ordering from Sunny! Food is really delicious and price is just right. Our favorites are the hibachi chicken and steak with the fried rice and the chicken and steak quesadillas. Depending on the time of your order, delivery can sometimes take an hour, but on a not so busy hour, can be delivered at your door in 30 minutes. Definitely recommend ?“

“Great customer service, good food & easy online ordering experience. It’s convenient for us to order and pickup so haven’t had it delivered but it’s always been top notch for pickup orders. The woman at the main counter is extremely helpful and very sweet.“

“This really is the best sushi restaurant in our neighborhood. The owners have always been so welcoming and the chef makes the best sushi, on par with way more expensive restaurants that we’ve been to, LI to Manhattan. No joke. Def worth the $$. I honestly wouldn’t believe anyone on here who would give a 1 star review. Hardworking family-owned business with wonderful service and great food! Thank you Ganda always!!!“

“Taku is a fantastic sushi spot! The staff are incredibly accommodating and friendly, ensuring a pleasant experience. The food is outstanding, especially the salmon tataki, which is a must-try. The outdoor seating is a lovely bonus. Highly recommend!“
