What can I say? Pretty awesome sushi. They have a really filling lunch combo which you can choose a variety of which type of rolls you want and miso soup and salad for only $15. It was a great deal and we also opted to try the bluefin toro which I've never had. The bluefin toro was amazing, melt in your mouth fresh and one of the best sushi I've ever had. Everything was super yummy and we left super satisfied. The service was top notch, our server was great and took care of us really well with a great and positive attitude. Definitely will be back if I'm in the area. read more

We came on a Sunday afternoon for some yummy lunch. We received exceptional service from the woman running the show. I, unfortunately did not get her name, but she did say to call her whatever we want so she Jennifer Lopez for an hour or so. She was great and very friendly. I have passed by this place numerous times and would have never known how awesome the food and service really is. I do not eat seafood on a regular, so ended up getting the Bento box lunch special. It came with chicken teriyaki, a salad, rice, and sashimi. Now, that is what I am a fan of. Everything tasted great but I ended up trying the salmon teriyaki and that was even better. It was tender and great flavor. The dressing on the salad was a hit too. Whatever dressing they use, I am a huge fan! We ended up getting dessert because we were just enjoying the experience and the service we were receiving. The fried cheesecake was a hit. It had a great taste and had a chocolate drizzle that put it over the top. This place is pretty awesome so I will definitely be back for some AWESOMENESS!!!!See you next time J.Lo!!!! read more

One of our favorite place! You really can't go wrong with any of the rolls. The lunch plates are a great deal and a pretty good size. The combination plate is also amazing for picky eaters. Overall, one of our go to places near the Long Beach airport. read more

If you don't want to read into my review, this place is indeed AWESOME ! Whether you just arrive at the LB airport or just passing by looking for a good sushi place. This place was recommended by a local resident who has been living in Long Beach for a long time. This place gets local customers all the time. I have been this place five plus times and I'd like to give this place a review. Food: I love the Salmon Collard as appetizer. If you like Eel, make sure to get their Unagi Sushi and Slot Machine roll. During happy hour, I'd like getting their "Chef Special". I have never had one bad experience with their sushi and freshness is always good. Service: This lady is always there and she's very welcoming. Her staff always makes sure if I need water and if the food tastes okay. They also offer takeouts and there are dedicated windows outside for pickup. Ambiance: The restaurant is located next to a smog place. Please don't get discouraged because the parking lot is clean. I never have issue with parking or with the area in general. The interior is not too small and there's a patio area. The noise from the airplane isn't ear drums blowing loud and planes pass by quickly. I have no issue with that. This place is always my go-to spot when I am in the area. It never disappoints me. read more

The place is nice, clean and the people the work here are exceptionally nice and kind !!! I don't write reviews but I felt like this place deserved one!!! Thank you Awesome sushi !!!!! read more

Beyond words. Because of the location just off the freeway and unattractive signage, you might pass this place right by, but don't! It's fantastic. Excellent service! Best sushi I have had in years and I eat a lot of sushi and sashimi. Happy hour is amazing. Those big rolls are jumbo-sized and luscious. I recommend this place whole-heartedly. read more

The food is awesome and amazing. Great customer service . Good parking . And awesome views of the airplanes flying by

This place shouldn't even be considered a sushi restaurant!!! It's AWFUL - NOT AWESOME. The quality of the fish was horrible. They don't use sushi-grade fish. I ordered my food to go. I should've known not to try it when I saw the ginger and wasabi were packaged from a factory. I ate two pieces of my rainbow roll and tossed out the rest, cause it tasted like bad fish and smelled fishy!!! I hope not to get food poisoning from here. DON'T waste your money at this place. read more

Their food is really really good. Prices are a bit high but luckily they have specials. Staff are super nice and welcoming. Definitely will come back. read more

Small hole in the wall type of establishment that delivers big flavor!! Customer Service-10/10 Greets at the door and gives you the choice of bar or table seating. Very attentive and polite. Ambiance-5/10 Don't come here for a romantic first date. It's a bit cramped but it's worth it. Keep reading.... Food-10/10 What we ordered: Mixed tempura, Earthquake, Crazy Cali, and Crunchy sushi rolls and a Sprite Mixed tempura: Perfectly fried. Light batter was a perfect texture. The crunch was amazing. Came with hot tempura sauce. Earthquake roll: Sushi rolls come in a bowl topped with crunchy scallops. Has a little spice kick to it. Crazy Cali: like a deep fried Oreo ... but it's sushi :) Crunchy rolls: comes out warm. It was sooo good. Price: $48 plus tip Overall, great tasting food. Will definitely be back! read more

Awesome Sushi - This sashimi platter was AWESOME! Delicious and very fresh. GREAT service too!!! Check it out, you won't be disappointed@ - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

I for two hand rolls (the eel avocado and the spicy scallop) and the fire ant roll. The service was great. The staff is very attentive and checked in often. It can get very crowded and we had to wait 10-15 minutes to be seated because we did not have a reservation. The food was delicious. The spicy scallop handroll was recommended by a friend and it was good. I got the unagi avocado roll because I love eel and it was worth it. The fire ant definitely brought some spice in my life like what i wanted. I would highly recommend if you spicy. read more

My best friend brought sushi from this place as takeout for my birthday, and my only regret is not remembering the names of the rolls. Literally everything was delicious! Need to plan a visit to dine in asap! read more

I've been here several times. It's a tiny place. The beer is always nice and cold. The service is excellent. The staff is friendly and polite. The sushi always tastes fresh. I always order the cucumber salad, the spicy edamame, and the pan fry shishito peppers to start. Highly recommend. read more

Naomi was my spectacular server! The staff of very attentive here. The happy hour sushi is ridiculously inexpensive. The best sweet shrimp that I ever ate. They are huge, don't forget to eat the crunchy heads. Tom and Bill the sushi chefs spoil me with the best sake in the house and they also have saporro on tap. The yellow tail and salmon collar are divine. The free yelp dessert mochi is so cute and chewy but the fried banana dessert Is bananas! COME EAT HERE PEOPLE! read more

food was AMAZING, the sushi was fresh, and service was really really good, people were very nice there.

Truly Awesome! We only come here for takeout but the rolls and chicken Teri are great. We noticed their fish is fresher and tastier than neighboring sushi places. The Call Me Babe, XOXO, and Awesome roll are a few of our favorites. read more

This was my first sushi spot to eat after not having sushi for a whole 9 months! We ordered it to go and it still tasted fresh. We got three rolls and an appetizer that I'm not sure of the name but it was jalapeño spicy tuna something. The three rolls were all great except the appetizer. It was cooked tuna and just tasted gross to be honest. I couldn't finish my bite so I would recommend skipping that appetizer. I'd be back for the rolls. read more

A high quality sushi experience. The ambiance is a little rough. It is not a Michelin star restaurant with grey tables and metal champagne flutes. Awesome is more like a converted Chili's restaurant with tight tables, a distressed sushi bar and walls decorated with mismatched chotzkies. But the sushi, you cannot argue with the sushi. The FRESHEST cuts of yellowtail, tuna, salmon, and octopus. You can tell it is a great place if the octopus isn't chewy. The octopus here is the best I have ever tasted. They put a little lemon on it and coarse salt. Delicious! It is a fun place. The music is always thumping and it is always a party. If you are lucky, one of the waitresses will do saki bombs with you. FYI, the Yelp check-in deal for a free dessert is no longer available. You gotta buy yourself a deep-fried bananas or mochi ice cream. Treat yo'self! read more

Awesome Sushi - Green Power roll (left). Bora Bora roll (right). - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

The food was great, served quickly and the staff were incredibly nice. They clearly hustle and care about their work. We had three small kids with us and they were really accommodating. It's a small place wedged between two auto repair shops but it was clean, no car/oil odors or anything. In the Long Beach airport flight path but has ample indoor seating. Highly recommend. read more

By far the freshest and most friendliest sushi location. I have finally found an amazing down to earth sushi place I've been living here for two years and trying out places and this place is the one that rocks! Saw the video on TikTok. You have to get the awesome roll. By far the most amazing. Not fancy but extremely loving people. read more

Came here for dinner on a Sunday night and really enjoyed the food. We got an assortment of rolls, sides and drinks. I can't remember the exact names but I think they were love you roll and 24/7, something of the sorts. They all had an assortment of fish, avocado, cream cheese and sauces and tasted great. The quality of fish was good. For being a hole in the wall next to the freeway, it is quite good and you can't tell from the outside. The waiters were all nice. The only thing we didn't like was the pitcher has a huge ice block in the center to seemingly keep the beer cold, but takes up nearly half the pitcher so it didn't end up being very much beer. The service was efficient and we enjoyed all the food. I would go back! read more

10/10 best sushi place in Long Beach. The staff is extremely sweet and understanding. They ask you if you need anything or want suggestions.

Came here with my husband and 2 kids tonight and they never fail us! The service is always on point: super fast & friendly. The food is always fresh and delicious as well. They are our favorite sushi joint in the lakewood/LB area. read more

Overall, it's a cool little spot with good customer service but we felt rushed the entire time. It is a smaller restaurant so I could see that they were trying to get people in and out for more business, however, we didn't get to enjoy our time because every two minutes they'd ask if we were done and ready for our bill. We came on a day that had the "awesome hours" so there were some rolls being served at a discounted price. The everyday prices should be the happy hour prices. The sushi was just okay. It tasted blan and we kept comparing it to other spots. The spicy edemame wasn't spicy and lacked flavor. The spicy mayo tasted just like plain mayo. But I say try it out for yourself and get your own experience. read more

I didn't want to drop this but this is by far some of the best sushi I've ever had flavors and combinations of flavors that I have never experienced with sushi before it's my go to place when I'm in Southern California no other place comes close to it it's a little spot hidden behind the LBC Airport I urge you to hurry and go and try this place so please run don't walk to Awesome sushi and definitely try it out you won't be disappointed read more

The sushi was fine and they had some nice "Awesome Hours" deals. I was able to take my daughter here and faintly catch some glimpses of planes as they landed at Long Beach Airport. The servers were polite and overall I think this is a really solid sushi restaurant. read more

Friendly staff that accommodated us swiftly about 20min before closing. We quickly ordered a few appetizers and a couple iced green teas. It was a super hot day and we were really grateful for the free refills! We were about to burn up outside on the hot pavement, noticed the restaurant and made a beeline for it. Appetizers were delicious and staff were "Awesome", will definitely return. p.s. I think their hours might be slightly different than what is listed on this Yelp pg. read more

One of the best sushi restaurants in Long Beach. The food was great, and their non fish rolls were amazing. All the servers were awesome by giving their best service to our group. It's tucked right next to the LB Airport so it helped with keeping my child distracted while we waited for our food. read more

The service was good but the menu is a little deceiving. The smaller rolls are not identifiable except price and the food was average. The best part was the place wasn't crowded like other food venues in town. read more

Fresh and delicious sushi! Service is always good here, love the "call me babe" roll.

Awesome is an understatement about this place! The service here is the best of any place I dine. The servers acknowledge you by the last order you made, who you were with, and how much fun they had serving you. We love Naomi and JLo, chef and the crew! "You were here last time with your mom, how is she?" A few rolls (recommend: the awesome roll, what else?) maybe a bento box, definitely some sake and beer at this small neighborhood joint and you're set. Also, there is just something about watching planes land above you when you dine here - it is definitely fun to watch and adds to the ambiance of awesome. read more
