So. Much. Food. Hole in the wall spot with amazing quality and great price. Waitress explained each dish. I’d say the variety was less than other omakase, but the quantity and flavor was spot on. Sake is really cheap too. Definitely coming back.
Best sushi at very affordable price for omakase. Very friendly service and very old-fashioned interior. Whoever wants good omakase and retro vibe, this is the place :)
Great value for the money. The amount served in their omakase was very satisfying for us. It felt like the progression of the dishes (with reappearances of a few that were cooked and served in two different forms to enjoy), along with the unique dinnerware each course was served on, were well thought-out. A wide range of flavors and textures that excite the senses—most were familiar, with a few that were unexpected and fun. The green tea/matcha they serve in retro cups is quality. All of this in a nostalgic, no-frills space with prompt and friendly service.
I love mom and pop joints like this. The omakase, which was reasonably priced, was an amazing experience. Each offering was prepared masterfully. This unassuming restaurant is located at the corner of a petite shopping plaza, so parking shouldn’t be too difficult. It’s best to make a reservation well in advance.
One of my favorite spots in Torrance for quality sushi. They’re typically open for lunch, close for a break, then reopen for omakase-only dinner. However for COVID, they’ve established a takeout only menu that features what you’d usually find on the lunch menu! My absolute favorite thing to order is the 25 sushi supreme. 10 piece nigiri, and either California or spicy tuna roll. Served with miso soup and salad. The quality of the sushi is great for the price, and I’m always full and happy after. My only feedback would be to use less rice in the nigiri. I’ve also done the 50 omakase dinner multiple times. again, I think omakase at this price and quality is unmatched. So many courses, dishes are straightforward but top quality, and you leave STUFFED.
Really delicious sushi at this Mom and Pop shop. The ingredients are fresh and the service is wonderful. The value is incredible as well. Highly suggest the Omakase!
Still great as always. Awesome service, delicious courses. Cant beat price. Eat here as much as possible.
Best omakase for the value in South Bay. Owned by a Japanese husband and wife duo in a strip mall corner. Parking has always been available every time we’ve been here, and we’ve came over 6 times now. Go often and keep them in business for years to come!
