This is definitely the place I judged by its cover and I am embarrassed the way I did. I have been working at Tozai plaza for 7 years and this was my first visit. I am fully Japanese, born and raised and this place gets an approval from me. My favorite dish was Ginza roll. I do not usually like Albacore but this albacore was like toro albacore. It melted in my mouth and not metally at all! What made my visit better is their hospitality. The server Sara is such an attentive server with a smile and the vibe! Will definitely come back. read more

Happy Sushi - Crunch Roll on the left, I forgot the middle and Ginza roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gardena, California

We had ordered a good few rolls, and everything was delicious! There was care in the sushi chef's craft, and the quality was top notch. We ordered the Ginza Roll, Ken's Roll, Lettuce Roll, Salmon Skin Roll, Super Philly Roll, Salmon and Seared Tuna Sushi, the Jalapeño Tempura, and the Gyoza. My favs were the Ginza Roll and Ken's Roll. The Lettuce Roll was close behind, but texturally, the lettuce wasn't jiving for me. The soy paper was perfect for the rest of the roll. Service was quick and polite, and he stopped by the table to check in often (there were only a few other patrons there at the time, and we were happy to chat with him). It's a nice little spot tucked away in the corner of a strip mall. 100% going to go back again. read more

Time for an update! I don't understand the less than 5 star reviews. As often as we eat here, we've never seen anything described in those reviews. All we've experienced is consistently great service and phenomenally great food! I have seen the super rare customer with a bad attitude ONCE, trying to get food they'd already eaten for free. And even then, they were treated more courteous than I would have. Honestly, people with bad attitudes don't fit this friendly vibe and we're happy to take your seat at the sushi bar! read more

This is the 2nd time I've eaten here but first time dining in! The 1st time I got takeout and loved everything I got, the chef was even so kind enough to give me complimentary miso soup which was DELICIOUS. This time dining in I couldn't wait to have my boyfriend try it for the first time, let's just say he was speechless. Everything is so fresh, we had to stop ourselves from overdoing it and ordering more. Every roll was amazing and such good quality. Not pictured was the salmon sashimi just because we were so excited to try but it was AMAZING. We definitely left satisfied and HAPPY! read more

An underrated gem! I wonder why this place doesn't have as many customers as it should. Their lunch specials/combos are so worth it. Love the udon + roll combo. The extra tempura is worth getting too! Plus, the people there are nice. Their sushi and food overall is very clean and fresh. I came here pretty often when I was in Gardena for a period of time. I loved everything here, including the sushi's, salads and udon. I would skip the ramen though. read more

Fish quality (and everything else) is not good. :( Ordered Chirashi bowl and took one bite, couldn't go any further. Miso soup was also fishy and salad was drenched in low quality ginger dressing. I paid anyway because I felt bad. Honestly, they probably shouldn't have let me. I was surprised, though, given the location in Gardena. read more

I'm honestly disgusted by my experience at Happy Sushi. The salmon they served me was mushy, slimy, and completely inedible. It was clearly not right, and it never should have been brought to the table in the first place. What made the whole thing even worse was our server, Paul Kim. When I brought up the issue and asked if the dish could be replaced or comped, he was rude, dismissive, and had a terrible attitude. Instead of trying to make things right, he acted like I was the problem for not wanting to eat bad salmon. The service was awful from start to finish. Between the inedible food and Paul Kim's behavior, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. If you're going to serve sushi, the bare minimum is fresh, edible fish and basic customer service. Happy Sushi failed at both. As fish ages, the flesh can lose its firm structure and start feeling soft, wet, and unpleasant. Extension and food-safety sources note that poor handling and delayed chilling can lead to a soft, open texture, and warm temperatures speed spoilage. Food-storage guidance identifies slime on the surface of meat as a spoilage sign that makes food unpalatable, and with fish that's absolutely a red flag from a diner's perspective. Even if it wasn't dangerous, it still suggests the product was not in good condition to serve. The salmon had a broken-down texture that was mushy and slimy, which strongly suggested poor freshness, poor storage, or mishandling. Whatever the cause, it was inedible and should not have been served. The salmon was mushy, slimy, and completely inedible, the kind of texture that suggests poor freshness or mishandling. When I raised it, instead of apologizing or replacing it, Paul Kim insisted there was "nothing wrong" with the roll or the salmon, which made the whole experience even worse. read more

Kind of an unassuming spot in this plaza filled with many food options. Honestly glad I tried it out. I tried 2 rolls, one of them the BSC roll because I'm a sucker for scallops. I was surprised at how hefty they looked when it came out. The service was nice, and plenty of parking in this plaza. Definitely recommend to check out this place if you are craving some sushi. read more

Went in on a Wednesday afternoon, place was a bit empty so service was fast . The place is small and feels cozy. It's located on a strip along with other restaurants. Our server was patient and friendly . I ordered the 2pc octopus roll and tonkatsu ramen . 2pc roll 0/10 no flavor , i felt like I was biting into the sole of a shoe . Ramen was good , I've had better 5/10 , it literally had maybe 4 pc of corn on 2-3 bean sprouts :( read more

Our new favorite spot to grab a bite. My boyfriend and I were looking for good sushi by our house and with lots to choose from we came to happy and are so HAPPY we did. We were greeted kindly and sat at the bar both times. (We've already been back since our first visit) Sun-A, a regular server there is the best. On our most recent visit she remembered our names. Very sweet. The food is amazing and I would definitely try the baked mussels. They add crab to them which I've never had before and it's amazing. Very affordable and quick service. Fish is fresh and cuts are generous. Small space but set up very cute. I personally enjoy their playlist with fun pop and rap music. Not a ton of dine in tables but we haven't had to wait yet!! read more
