High expectations based on online reviews. Low experience. Toro was super fresh. Uni and Ikura not so much. The garlic albacore ponzu sauce and garlic clashed. I thought they would be harmonious but not so. The salmon and blue crab was good. I told the waiter the uni did not taste fresh and he said because I tasted it he couldn’t give a full refund. Whhhaaat!? How do you know unless you taste it? I’ve never been told that before. So my tip was low as I did not feel I should pay for the uni.
It was my daughter's birthday lunch with some of the family. There were 7of us, we were very comfortable seating wise, we didn't feel crowded at all for it being a smaller location. Hannah was our waitress with the help of Josh and Tess. They were all very courteous and knowledgeable of the menu. My Aunt us allergic to seafood so she wasn't able to enjoy the sushi, however she ordered the orange chicken, fried rice, and garlic green beans, they were all excellent. The size of the portions were big enough for all of us to have a good serving of each. All of the it's we ordered were amazing, the jalapeño poppers, mussels, super dragon roll, salmon, albacore tuna, yellowtail sushi ?, and there was many more items that we ordered, I don't remember them all off hand, but everything was delicious. Topped off with a couple large saporros and some Sake made it even more enjoyable. I will definitely be back frequently.
They remodeled a few months ago and now it's less spacious & they have less seating. The last time I went for lunch the wait was definitely longer than it used to be. The food however is still amazing.
This place never let's me down. I took the love of my life for dinner and as usual service and food very good. Recommend to all my friends..tiger roll+Sapporo = good times and great memories.
Back home and was looking for sushi place near me and read reviews but looking like we have a gem here people. Officially one of my spots now in Cali food was delicious, fresh and made to perfection. Besides the waitress not being attentive even when the place was not busy I paid it no mind. The food made up for all that.Update went back and I still loved it . Everything was delicious
What a find!!! This little gem in Gardena is amazing! The takoyaki, fried baby octopus and spicy edamame are out of this world. The fish is fresh and delicious. We can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menú.
I would leave 0 stars after tonight if I could. We checked in at 8:00 PM tonight and their male front desk employee said it would take 40-45 minutes for a table. Not a problem. We head back into our car and check back into the front desk at 8:30 for an update and the same front desk male employee mentions “oh your party is next.” We decided to head back into our car and wait until they called us with the table. It’s 9:00 PM and no call yet. Finally at 9:10 PM they call in and say “oh sorry it looks like we will no longer be able to accommodate you due to now limited items available”. HOW INCREDIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL to have customers wait an hour and 10 minutes and then shun them away despite us checking in with front desk employees not once but twice for any update.We spoke with the female manger who could care less despite us mentioning the time we waited, despite us mentioning how we checked in not once but twice and despite us asking what options they could do for us after we had just waited for an hour and 10 minutes outside their parking lot. Simply a “sorry there’s nothing I could do for you. Maybe a free appetizer on the house.” You’ve gotta be kidding me.Not only will I never ever come back here but we will ensure to let our friends and family in Gardena, Torrance, El Segundo and Redondo Beach to never stop at this location for the lack of professionalism and un carelessness I received tonight.I used to be a loyal customer to this business. Warning - please take your business elsewhere and notice how many other recent and bad reviews they now have on Yelp and Google.
Super duper great sushi ?Their staff is low in numbers but the love and care for each roll is high.
My daughter was craving sushi ? She had me convince to have my first real sushi ? ? yummy
Staff was excellent! Sushi was good! There was 1 chef so they managed our expectations when we arrived and i appreciated this. They helped us celebrate a birthday in a really kind way. 5 star service
