Amazing. Parking is bad. The delicious food makes up for it. They're actually Japanese and the quality and taste of fish is impeccable. They strategically brought out the food in the best and most traditional sequence for our tastebuds with the cooked seared steak with foie gras last of course. I wish they had omakase but it was really busy that night. One day we'll try it though. While I was waiting for the rest of my party to come, the chef noticed I was waiting so he made me a handroll while we wait for our appetizers (some promo on Yelp).
Little sushi place on an intersection near the beach. The place is cramped, but reminiscent of a traditional Japanese fishing village shop. Staff was very attentive, although there were a few minor mishaps with the service. I forgive the spilled miso soup, because the sushi was so fresh and delicious. Miso cod and tempura are also recommendable. The sushi chefs will prepare items which are not on the menu, including vegetarian sushi or kid-friendly dishes. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Manhattan Beach.
We ordered omakase, and it was a good meal but it fell shy of being great. The rice was a bit too sour and took away from the flavors of the fish. The most perfect bite I had was actually one where half the rice fell apart and I just went with it. There were some questionable flavor combinations as well but everyone has different preferences when it come to this so I wouldn't criticize too much.
This is one of the best sushi places I've ever experienced. I've been to Japan four times, but this place truly stands out. I can't wait to return the next time I'm in LA. The chef offered excellent recommendations, had a professional demeanor, and the sake was fantastic. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered the chef's custom menu twice. Everything was perfect!

Without a doubt, this is the best sushi I've ever had. Sit at the sushi bar and let the chef take over. His creativity and the flavor combinations in his dishes are truly unparalleled, and it's clear that they are meticulous about sourcing quality fish. If you're in the area, you absolutely must visit this place—you won't be disappointed!
This place a gem of Manhatten Beach. I love Japanese food and I went to Japan for food as well. This place serves top notch grade Japanese food including sashimi, sushi, tempura, etc. The sushi men here are proud of what they make, and it shows on their food. Definitely recommended place if you want to eat real Japanese food.
Superb service. Fresh and innovative sushi. Delicious sides of caramelized cauliflower and a mushroom dish I didn't catch the name. The spicy miso slightly missed the mark for me but that's what you get when you explore. Certainly not a knock. Highly recommended restaurant. Cozy place.
The omakase experience was incredible, and everything was exceptionally fresh! I didn't even need soy sauce. The service was excellent as well.
