    If you're looking for AYCE sushi in the Southbay, this is it! Price is so good quality for AYCE sushi. The male server was very friendly and nice and even stored a cake in the fridge for us. You order everything off the tablet and allowed to order in 10 min intervals until 90 minutes, which is plenty. We feasted in so much sushi and even their squid and shrimp tempura is really good. I'll be back for sure.

    The Toro is amazing. You get 2 PP, per AYCE. All the other fish is AYCE.

    Blufish is my go to and my favorite AYCE SUSHI in the South Bay! You got that right! I go to Blufish often, and they always have the freshest sushi, yummy rolls, appetizers, entrees, and dishes. It's about $37.99 per person and worth it. What I also like is their speciality rolls aren't large orders, they are cut down to 4 pieces, enough to order other specialty sushi rolls. The servers are always attentive and in a good mood, everything comes out quick. The restaurant itself is nice inside. You sometimes have to fight for parking, but we're always able to get something in the lot. Good sushi, good prices, AYCE, good service! Perfect for the South Bay!

    We came for dinner on a holiday. There were plenty of free parking. Server was nice and I like the self serve water station. You order off a tablet and get 90 min which is normal at an AYCE. I've NEVER hit 90 min at any AYCE before until now. I recommend you order everything you may want to eat on Round 1 because it took a very long time to get our food after the first round. I normally only get nigiri but they put so much rice with theirs that I stopped ordering that after the first round. They seem to be understaffed so that may be why everything took so long. If you don't mind a long wait and you enjoy lots of rice in your sushi then give this place a try!

    We live around the corner and this is our go to sushi spot. We ordered takeout once and we liked it so we decided to go sit down and we discovered they have all you can eat sushi! Also the server was super nice and welcoming. We will definitely be back again!

    Came here with a group for early dinner and they over delivered. Server was extremely friendly & attentive. Very convenient by ordering off the iPad, got our food within minutes of entering the order. Everything tastes great, excellent rice to fish ratio on their sashimi

    The restaurant was located in a plaza. There wasn't a lot of parking for the number of businesses in the plaza, but we didn't have a hard time finding parking. Came during a weekend night. The place wasn't packed, but did get full as the night progressed. They have a self served water and miso station. The miso soup was very bland and did not taste good at all. You order with the tablet on the table. They were very strict with the 90 minutes dining limit. You can't order once the 90 minutes were up. We like that there wasn't a limit on ordering carpaccio. Unfortunately, none of the items we ordered tasted fresh. The rice was dry. The no rice rolls had too much fillers. The sashimi salad included only one piece of tuna and one piece of salmon. We didn't leave full. We did not like the food and wanted to leave. It's a cheap AYCE sushi restaurant at $33.99 a person, but don't expect fresh. Will not be returning.

    Nothing. I ate it all.

    Food is lovely. You order on an iPad which was very convenient. Very nice for a solo treat.

    For the price and quality of AYCE, I would give this place 5 stars! We always order nigiri, carpaccio, rolls, and soft shell crab. The crab is usually the only app that we order so I can't review the other apps. I love the raw shrimp nigiri! If you're not a super big eater, I recommend you come in a party of 4 because the rolls usually come with 4 pieces. So if there are 4 people, you can try more varieties of roll and only need to eat one piece of each. I like doing this to be able to try more things! You order off an iPad and you have to wait 10 minutes between orders. The time passes very fast so it's not a problem. Also the food comes very fast, even when the restaurant is full! Just like most other AYCE sushi places, they will charge for excessive leftover food/rice.

    Prior to having a child, I remember a friend of mine telling me that kids sometimes appreciate small acts over grandiose ones. At the time, I can recall thinking, "maybe YOUR child does, but mine will definitely appreciate grand experiences." Therefore, I was shocked when my son showed little interest in going on a family trip to Japan, but instead mentioned wanting to try a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles. Ironically, we had a family trip planned to Los Angeles for Thanksgiving weekend. After doing a quick Yelp search, I found a sushi restaurant called Blufish Sushi & Grill that had almost perfect reviews. As you can imagine, there are lots of sushi restaurants available in the Los Angeles area; however, Blufish stood out to me for their selection and proximity to our Airbnb. Also, I have to add that the establishment offers an all-you-can-eat option which is very helpful considering the costs of individual sushi rolls. With empty bellies, we made the small journey to the establishment. Upon entering we were greeted by an employee who seated us in the near-empty (at the time) restaurant. We informed her that the three of us would be taking advantage of the $33.99 (Friday-Sunday) all-you-can-eat special. She advised us that the special included everything on the menu except drinks and showed us how to use the on-table tablet to place orders. Also, she mentioned that you have to wait at least 10 minutes before placing another order, we had a total of 90 minutes to utilize the special, and that there is a fee for any unfinished food. The turnaround time from placing the order to receiving it was extremely quick! As we shared the variety of rolls that we ordered, we bonded over conversation regarding our favorite rolls. My son was extremely happy (he loves Asian food) and even convinced my wife and I to try something that we never thought we would...Salmon Egg Sushi! We enjoyed the overall experience and food, thank you Blufish Sushi & Grill!

    Finally got to try it this place. It's located in a small plaza so the parking situation can be tricky on a busy day. I thought the place would be bigger but it's a decent size and had a secluded section with a round table for a bigger group of people. I love that you get the option of AYCE or aa la carte orders. The price range for the AYCE is good depending on the amount of food that you know you can eat. We tried the chicken karaage, takoyaki, and fried gyoza along with several of the sushi variety and the carpaccio variety which all tasted great and were of good quality. The yakisoba was alright. You can skip the miso soup. The server was courteous and quick to respond and the folks prepping the orders were really quick. Will definitely be back. What to expect: If you're doing the AYCE, there is a 10 minute interval between each order, so it's best to have everyone in your party select their order before placing it. There is also an added fee if you don't finish your order. Gratuity (Service Charge of receipt) is included for parties of five or more.

    This was a weekday dinner treat. I must say it was better than I expected. The service was great and attentive. It wasn't too crowded. Everything ordered was delicious from the sushi, sashimi, teriyaki chicken and miso soup. It was filling and the quality of the sushi was wonderful. Ambiance was totally relaxing!

    I'm always down for AYCE sushi and especially one that's decently priced. It's located in kind of an older plaza with tight parking and the inside of the restaurant is not what I expected - it's dimly lit with cozy vibes. There's an iPad at every table for you to order on demand - this makes the ordering process super easy with photos for you to see. We came for a weekday lunch and it was pretty empty. As always at any AYCE spot, we always order with our eyes and left super stuffed. In terms of the quality of the fish, it was decent. Be sure to order the premium items (toro, uni, etc...) to maximize the value. You can never go wrong with salmon or tuna. Overall, it was decent, nothing spectacular. I'll continue my hunt for my go-to AYCE sushi spot in the South Bay.

    The food was not great! And I came here with some friends and we told the server that he had allergies The server strictly said that they do NOT accommodate allergies at all. I don't understand how a restaurant can't accommodate allergies, so I'm actually surprised that no one has gotten sick or hospitalized from it. The lesst they could have done is separate the rolls with avocado in it from the other ones, but somehow they managed fail at that as well. This wasn't worth the $33 per person AYCE it brags. This place shouldn't be open legally for not being able to follow cross-contamination rules. Has the health department looked into this?

Let's start with the star of my personal show, wow...the spicy tuna crispy rice. "Mano ah Mano" that thing came out looking like it had been practicing its runway walk. Perfect crunch, spicy tuna stacked like it was trying to impress me, and yes, I did make eye contact with it before eating. Zero regrets. The rest of the AYCE lineup. Well it was solid. Rolls came out quick, fresh, and not drowning in random sauces (you know how some places get wild with the sauce ). Nothing tasted like it had been sitting in the back praying for a second chance at life. The staff here moves like they're on a mission. Friendly, fast, and they actually check in without hovering like a helicopter parent. My plates disappeared before I could stack them into a Jenga tower, which honestly saved me from myself. The vibe is a surprisingly great. Chill energy, and enough space between tables so you're not accidentally elbow‑deep in someone else's soy sauce. It's the kind of place where you can eat aggressively but still feel classy. Ginza AYCE Sushi is the spot when you want to treat your stomach, and your inner food gremlin. Spicy tuna crispy rice alone deserves its own fan club. Miguel C.

    We were on the hunt for a good all-you-can-eat sushi spot in the area, and surprisingly there…read morearen't a ton of options. After reading through reviews, we decided to give this place a try. One thing we really appreciated was that many of the specialty rolls came as half rolls rather than full rolls. That might not sound like a big deal, but it actually allowed us to try a much wider variety of items without getting full too quickly. If you're the type who likes sampling a little bit of everything, it's a great setup. As for the sushi itself, the quality was decent. Let's be honest--when you're going to an AYCE sushi restaurant, you're usually not expecting the same quality you'd get from a high-end omakase spot. With that expectation in mind, we thought the fish was fresh enough, the rolls were well made, and overall the food hit the spot. Is it the best sushi I've ever had? No. But for an all-you-can-eat experience, it was solid and satisfied the craving. The half-roll concept alone makes it worth checking out if you enjoy trying lots of different menu items. Overall, we had a good experience and would consider coming back when the AYCE sushi craving strikes again.

The chicken katsu was the standout~ it was perfectly light and crispy on the outside while staying incredibly juicy on the inside. It had amazing flavor even on its own, but paired with the katsu sauce, it was absolutely next level. The rich curry sauce was also fantastic and went perfectly with the rice, making every bite satisfying. The gangjung was another winner, with a great crispy exterior coated in a sweet, garlicky sauce that kept me coming back for more. I took the katsu sando and egg sando home for later, and I had to finish with the strawberry sando, which was perfectly creamy with fresh, sweet strawberries. It was the ideal way to end the meal.

The private booths alone made me feel like I was signing a secret business deal, except the only thing I was negotiating was how much more food I could fit into my stomach. Every dish came out looking like it had been through a glow‑up montage. So delicious! * Unagi -- Melted in my mouth like it had a personal vendetta against being solid. Sweet, buttery, and dangerously addictive. * Katsu -- Crispy enough to be heard across the booth. If this dish had a crunchy Japanese category, this would be the headliner. * Spicy tuna -- The perfect balance of heat and flavor. Not "call the fire department" spicy, but definitely "I see you trying to impress me" spicy. * Seared tuna, Elegant, silky, and so fresh it probably had plans later. * Uni pasta, Listen... this dish is a commitment. Creamy, ocean‑kissed, and luxurious. It's the kind of pasta that makes you sit back and reevaluate your life choices, in a good way. * Sake - WOW ...My delicious sake was smooth, floral, and paired with everything like it had studied my taste buds in advance. The staff here operate with polite ninja efficiency. They appear, refill, deliver, and disappear before you can even say "arigato." Not rushed, not pushy, just clean, respectful Japanese hospitality that makes you feel taken care of. "Always remember the energy you give....is the energy you get in return!" The private booths are the star of the show. Cozy, warm lighting, and enough privacy to talk chisme without worrying about the table next to you judging your life choices. It's intimate without being cramped, like a little wooden cocoon of comfort. Kagura is one of those Torrance gems that hits every category: authentic food, quiet comfort, top‑tier service, and dishes that make you want to come back before you've even left the parking lot, oh and let me remind you how small that parking lot is, be prepared. If you're into Japanese cuisine that feels both homey and elevated, this is your spot. Living life one bite at a time...go and enjoy yourself! Miguel C.

To complement the set, the gyozas with their delicate wraps had nicely burnt bottoms, and flavorful fillings. Champon Ramen: A complex ramen with an assortment of meat, veggies and seafood. There were sliced pork pieces, shrimps, squids, cabbage, onions, snow peas and many more. The clear broth was quite savory and enriched by oil from sauteed ingredients. The noodles had a very nice texture and were a tad al dente. We were amazed that after all these years, the restaurant retained its original taste and flavor. We found out the reason why while exiting the restaurant: The young cook from two decades ago is now running the open kitchen as head chef. Great food and still reasonable prices. It was totally worth revisiting.

    Recently stopped by here about a year after trying it for the first time…read more I have to say, Pasta Stories really stepped up their game in terms of serving time! The first time I ate here, it took maybe 20-25 minutes for me to get my food. This time, I had my food in around 10 minutes. I was very impressed with this big decrease in wait time. This time I tried the new Hokkaido cream pasta, which tasted super fresh and made to order. The cream was warm and rich without feeling over the top like some other cream-based pasta sauces from Italian/American places. I liked the addition of spinach and mushrooms as well. The restaurant is in a food court with a few other options, and a decent amount of seating. It's also inside of a grocery store, so if you're with a picky group, everyone could theoretically order something different and eat together. I remember I was a little put off by the anime branding of the restaurant at first (it seemed a little childish to me) but Pasta Stories is really a solid wafu pasta place, and I love that they focus on different regional flavors of Japan. Prices are very affordable as well, with most pastas being around $15 and under.

    For a cost friendly meal, the expectation in quality generally tends to be low but Pasta Stories is…read morethe exception. With meals ranging from $10-$17, there is something for everyone. I personally have tried the following: Hokkaido Cream Pasta (newest addition as of late) Fukuoka Mentaiko Butter Pasta Kyoto Matcha Cream Pasta (one of my favorite dishes here - pair with salmon for a strong, umami flavor profile) Iwate Triple Mushroom Pasta Okinawa Pork Ragu Spaghetti (THE number 1 pick, however was not on the menu when I visited last) Osaka American Wagyu Meat Sauce There is a strong attention to Japanese flavors fusing with traditional Italian pasta dishes and are all made with love and care. I always recommend this place to friends and family, I can't get enough of it!

    I was just starting to eat my meal when the sat a large group breaking them in to tables on both…read moresides of me. So people needed to squeeze by and then one guy asked if he could sit for a moment at my table. I said okay. But then I think he planned to stay at my table until finally my waiter moved him! There was a seat at one their tables the whole time. Then their waitress wedge herself with her back toward me in between the tables and I had to stop eating. Very disruptive and rude. Taking a while for the six people to order so I nudged her and I asked her to move and she seemed upset that I did that but didn't say anything no apology so it was very uncomfortable and I was rushing through my food so I burnt my tongue on the hot soup again even though I knew it was hot because I just wanted to get out of there. And then when I was done, I had to wait a while for the check and then they couldn't process the Apple Pay at the table so then I had to go to the front and wait for somebody to attend to me there overall this experience was not fun and stressful and I had got there right when they opened. I sure wish I had selected a different seat!! I wouldn't get the Nabeyaki soup again. It was really big and had a lot of end pieces of tough napa cabbage. There were two pieced of shitake mushroom and the standard thin fish cake slice. There was and egg in the soup and a three small chicken pieces. On the side were three small pieces of green bean and two tempura shrimp.
