    New York New York roll
    Gloria C.

    I'm so happy I was introduced to this place!! The staff were super awesome and made our experience so unique and fun. Aside from the amazing and fresh sashimi, very plate we got was better than the next. This is now my go to sushi spot, and I doubt another will top the experience you get here. MUST TRY!

    My family has been coming to Awesome Sushi for years and we absolutely love it. It's a small spot in kind of an unexpected location, so it would be easy to miss, but it's one of those hidden gems that's absolutely worth finding. The sushi rolls are always fresh and tasty, especially the Awesome Roll, which is my favorite. But honestly, the biggest reason we keep coming back is the people. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, and the whole place has such a strong community feel. It really feels like family every time we walk in.

    Egg Rolls

    Awesome Sushi! What an experience to say the least. I came on a rainy night and it was bumping inside. Bumping to the point I saw the employees taking shots of alcohol with some of the guests. I don't know how professional that is... I raised my own concerns about food safety handling raw fish when under the influence. They were drinking quite a bit while I dined there. I ordered 4 rolls: Caterpillar roll Awesome roll Crunch roll I feel so lucky roll One order of egg rolls Milk tea Mango lemonade I did not try the caterpillars or crunch roll to comment on them. Neither the egg rolls. But the egg rolls say 4 pieces... they cut two regular egg rolls in half and called it 4 pieces. I had the I feel so lucky roll and I thought it was pretty good. It tasted like a saucier crunch roll. Of course the spicy mayo and eel sauce combo is a fave so it turned out really well. The awesome roll... is definitely for those that like sashimi. It's fish in and out so very very fishy. Nothing wrong with that. It just was not my forte. I had to def add ginger and wasabi to swallow it done. There was not really much flavor overall, just the texture and flavor of fish. I didn't finish the awesome roll and they took it off the bill. I thought that was really nice of them to do. The milk tea & mango lemonade were way too sweet for my liking. I thought there was definitely way too much sugar in it. Dial the sweetness back and I think they both would be really good. Service was quick, friendly, possibly under the influence. They have a parking lot leading to easy access to the establishment.

    Always great to visit this local sushi spot. This restaurant is in my local sushi rotation if I'm ever having cravings. Services is always great, staff is always friendly, sushi fresh and yummy. It is on the small side inside as it shares the same space as a repair shop next door. Music is just about right to be able to hear your own conversation. Some roll and special rolls can get heavy on the sauce but that's why I recommend a roll that doesn't have sauce so you can dip it in there Make sure to save room for DESSERT!! Favorites: volcano roll, kaleidoscope cucumber roll, salmon carpaccio, snow roll, house special dessert

    As usual- AMAZING!! Food is fresh, consistent, and delicious. Always great customer service from the whole crew. Happy chill atmosphere. There may be a wait due to the compact space but lots of parking available.

    Awesome Sushi will forever be my favorite sushi restaurant. I've come here for years and have always seen the same chefs & staff, and they always go above and beyond to make my wife and I feel welcome. I want to give a particular note of gratitude to Nina, who has allowed me to read and study at the sushi bar over the years, spend my birthdays here, and has allowed us to stay past closing on date nights. Awesome is a restraunt, yes, but also feels like a safe space. Also, did you know they recently added sushi burritos to the menu? LOVE!

    Thai coffee
    Gladys Y.

    Decided to drop by and check out the menu and I was instantly greeted by the staff who were friendly and helpful. The ambiance is quaint with a clean environment. They look to have a wide menu of items to select from and the owner generously gave me a Thai coffee to go for just stopping by! I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

    Crazy Cal and Awesome Roll
    Kimberly S.

    BEST sushi in Long Beach! We've had Awesome Sushi a handful of times (a few times dining in, a couple take-out) and we're always so happy and full at the end of our meal. Perfect spot for a date night. The restaurant has such a cool vibe and is always clean inside. The staff is very kind and professional, and the food itself is innovative AND delicious. Our favorites are the Awesome Roll, Call Me Babe Roll, Crazy Cal Roll, Love Your Smile Roll, and the Destiny of Love Roll (pretty spicy mango sauce, but the flavor is so good). We also like the cucumber salad and the salmon sashimi as appetizers. We'll keep coming here until we leave Long Beach -- and then we'll miss it!

    Omg the Earthquake Roll is the bizz spicy imitation crab but it taste amazing like real crab, fried scallops with a sauce that's amazing. Service amazing very nice and inviting. Its a small personal place counter seat Service very nice this is sushi at its best .

    Hadn't had Sushi in a while and since I'm out of town I'm like what the heck let's try out this spot. Let me tell you that it's not just the name it's literally awesome Sushi, delicious. Had one of them refreshers maybe I should've added boba to it; anyways couldn't stay for dessert but will be returning soon. Nice bar and well decorated.

Its a small place, and it wasn't overly busy. Its likely that it was a slow night and server #2 appeared to be socializing with some friends seated at another table. In other news, I don't understand the hype over the Wagyu. In my opinion, it was oddly greasy but overcooked. No one asked how I like my steak - which is fine if that's customary in Japanese cuisine - but the end result simply missed the mark. However, I want to add that the owner was absolutely lovely! He made me a drink that resembled an Old Fashioned, and it was delicious. I can tell the owner truly cares about his restaurant - and for that reason - I'm willing to come back and try something different.

While curry is their specialty they have other items such as udon, teriyaki, and donburi bowls as well as a few typical appetizers such as tempura and karaage. The restaurant is not very big but has a fair amount of tables. Its style has a mix of modern and traditional Japanese elements with lofi music playing in the background. We were given a friendly welcome upon entering and the service was great. We started with the mixed tempura which was light and crispy - a perfect starter that won't fill you up. For dinner we tried the beef curry and chicken katsu curry. Both were delicious. I had the chicken katsu. I really liked the breading as it was light and crispy - not too thick or greasy. The sauce was also rich and flavorful. I made it a combo which includes miso soup and a salad of choice. I selected the cucumber salad which was a little sweet but refreshing with the meal. I hope to try their donburi next.

    So stoked that there are more proper East Asian restaurants west of the 605 and south of the 91…read more My order was a chicken katsu curry takeaway. I called it in on a lazy Tuesday after hiking. Food didn't take that long but I like that there was a wait because I know it'll be freshly made. When I walked into the restaurant to pick up my order, inside was cozy and I noticed that it was pretty busy for a late Tuesday lunch. A really nice young woman who rang me up and handed me my bag of goods. When I got home, I was pleased to see that they had separated the Katsu from the curry sauce, so my meat didn't end up being soggy. Their curry sauce is different from most curry houses. There are some herbs in it that I can't put my finger on, but I love it because it's not like any of the others. Chicken was juicy and rice was fluffy. I also like their kizami ginger which had a nice solid crunch. Even though it took me a while to pick up my food, it was still nice and warm when I sat down to eat it. Very happy with the presentation and the flavour. We'll try to visit and eat at the restaurant next time. Parking lot is small and can get a little crowded with all the other businesses open. But there is also street parking available. Also, because it's a Japanese restaurant, they are not open on Mondays.
