    Chef's donburi
    Diane H.

    We had our 521st monthly anniversary here and had a wonderful dinner. I love my sushi because the rice portion is perfect. It's small enough so you can appreciate the fish. When the rice is too much, you can't eat it in one bite like it's supposed to. We still love the uni shooters. We are going to try their sake pairing in July. It should be great. I can't wait!!

    Uni pasta

    I love uni and I've always wanted to try Miyabi Uni. We stopped by on our way to Intuit Dome and the food didn't disappoint. We had the Uni and Toro donburi (rice bowl) and the signature Uni pasta (Japanese style w garlic Uni butter and soy sauce based sauce). Great umami flavors and plenty of Santa Barbara Uni. The ambiance was cozy and clean, while the service was friendly and warm. It was a great experience!

    Uni Toro Donburi
    Alexander Y.

    Came to Miyabi Uni as I was visiting my friend in Torrance and it was her suggestion after I said I wanted to try a Japanese place. Not too bad! Since this place specializes in uni, I obviously had to get something with uni. Was also craving toro, so I settled on the Uni Toro Donburi. Man this was great! Six pieces of toro and six pieces of uni. Well worth the price! Staff here was friendly, no complaints from me. Definitely worth a future visit.

    I love uni, and I was in the area to give Miyabi Uni a try. Showed up as soon as it opened for lunch, and was promptly seated. Ordered the uni oysters ($18.95 for two) and the Miyabi signature uni pasta ($33.95). The uni oysters were beautifully-presented, even had caviar and gold leaf dust on top! Taste-wise, they were really good: briny, creamy, and slightly sweet. Highly recommend getting this! Uni pasta was tasty as well: decent portions with al-dente spaghetti and flavorful garlic sauce. Decent amount of uni on top; the uni was also slightly torched, which brought out a smoky-sweet taste which I enjoyed. Although it didn't blow me away as much as the uni oysters, it was still a yummy and satisfying dish. Prices are steep, but for special events and the occasional treat, Miyabi Uni offers fresh uni with decent portions, and it's worth a go!

    Toro & Uni Wrap

    El Prado Ave points the way from the park to Miyabi Uni, which is nestled within Plaza Del Prado in the heart of Old Torrance. Location is a notable feature of the restaurant, as its walkable surroundings are filled with bakeries, tea rooms, antique shops, and more. Miyabi Uni has been serving up quality sashimi rice bowls (donburi), hand rolls, and original creations for over a decade, and that experience shows. We opted for hot green tea and the toro and uni wrap to start off. The tea, although bagged, had a smooth and rich sencha-type flavor. We enjoyed the ponzu jelly and other unique elements of the wrap. The uni tasted fresh and sweet, signalling us to go ahead and have more. The Miyabi Kaisen donburi, recommended by our attentive server, was replete with deliciously tender cuts of salmon, tuna, roe, fresh uni, and more. The house uni hand roll was good, but we really enjoyed the salmon skin hand roll, which was brimming with crispy skin and grilled flavor...so much so that we ordered two. In summary, this staple of Old Torrance is a great place for curated bites of high-quality uni and other fresh seafood. However, the quality and location come with a price. Miyabi Uni is best enjoyed on a date or celebratory occasions to fully appreciate what it has to offer.

    The fish is fresh here! They specialize in uni (hence the name) and have different varieties of uni. I love the donburi, uni pasta and fried oysters. They used to have happy hour, but they cancelled it in August 2025. They also have an outdoor patio that is dog friendly!

    Great dining experience if you like uni and creamy/buttery foods. I went here for the birthday. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday lunch. The service is very prompt. Someone from my group couldn't have butter and they were accommodating. All the food had very balanced flavors. The miyabi Uni pasta was really good. Creamy but not too rich. Great presentation. The truffle fries were fun too. They give you a paper bag to mix in as much truffle salt as you would like. We used the entire thing! The salt also went great with the grilled squid. Would definitely recommend.

    Don't think twice about coming here. I can't say enough good things about this place! I didn't personally care for the American Wagyu, but everything else was top notch. Just my preference. I'm sure if they had Japanese Wagyu it would be on par. The staff were very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. And the music! I was jammin' while eating. When I'm back in the area, this is absolutely a spot I'll rerun to. Definitely on my top five.

    Uni oyster
    Yurie H.

    Pricy but good quality seafood! We came here for a dinner at 06:30 Pm on a Saturday wasn't too crowded. There are table and bar seating, we walked here since the hotel was near by. For food, we got oyster with uni, sashimi bowl, ankimo, and saba and ebi sushi a la carte. Ankimo-(9/10) got miso flavor didn't have a fishy smell fresh Oyster with uni (10/10)-must get! The ratio of uni ikura was perfect. Chirashi bowl (8/10)-sashimi could have been cut thinner but generous on sashimi for $50, could share with 2 people. Sushi (7/10)-nothing special but fresh as expected Overall fancy and a treat meal to come for special occasion. Would highly recommend for uni lovers!

    Miyabi Kaisen small size, super delicious & fresh!

    Miyabi Kaisen (comes with miso soup) was terrific, the House Green Salad with sea urchin dressing was amazing and the Miyabi Roll & Unagi Avocado Roll were both delicious as well. Had edamame & super yummy Chicken Karaage as well. Kudos to the sushi Chefs Xin & Carlos! Excellent friendly welcome & service from Roberto. Comfortable atmosphere with music lightly playing in the background. Highly recommend Miyabi Uni in Torrance, CA for delicious Japanese cuisine!

    Small House Uni Donburi
    Rangie T.

    If Uni is in the name of the restaurant, then it's definitely a must try. It was nice to see that the wait staff were Japanese and I thought the chefs were too, but then I heard them speaking Spanish. That didn't quite ruin it for me, because if a master chef can teach his ways and it is followed, you would not know the difference. We came at the right time of the evening as they had happy hour options. Definitely had to order oysters for $1.50 each. Well worth it and so fresh. They had karaage octopus tentacles also for happy hour and they were delicious, but for $6.50, you only got 6 small pieces. As for our entrees, e has to try their creamy Uni pasta to compare to those we have had elsewhere. It was a slightly different preparation, but the taste was perfect. A very nice buttery and creamy taste of Uni and the right amount of sauce to pasta ratio. As for the reason we went to Miyabi Uni, we ordered the Uni Don Buri. We shared it which made it not enough, but as a single serving for one person, it would have been just the right amount of Uni and rice. Our server was very sweet. I tried my little bits of Japanese on her which really broke the ice. It almost made me feel like I was in Japan. We will definitely have to come back and try the many options they offer.

    10/10. Fantastic service, with the nicest servers. Delicious food and I mean DELICIOUS UNI!! The overall aesthetic of the place is simple and quiet. It's a great place try sea urchin if you've never had it before. I will 100% be back again!

    Ask the Community - Miyabi Uni

    I would like to try the pastas, are there eggs (as in chicken eggs) used in the pasta sauce?

    Most of them are made of butter. I don't think there are eggs in the sauce but it could be in making of the pasta noodles.

    Do they accept walk in with no reservations?

    I've walked in without reservation before but it may depend on how busy they are. Highly recommend calling ahead of time to make sure.

    This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / April 8, 2023

    Yes it does but you need to call to reserve. It's covered all the time and heated (in the evenings).

    Do they still have uni ice cream?

    They did when I went in April.

    Is there outdoor seating right now?

    Yes, they have patio seating.

    Do you have happy hours on weekdays? if so, what is the menu?

    Yes, they do. Their menu changes with specials. You should call them.

    How are the uni?

    The uni is fresh! I'm certain they have Japanese Bafun uni and not just Santa Barbara uni. Bafun uni has more dense flavor and it's so much better than SB uni.

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    Yes :)

    Is this business kid friendly?

    Yes. If they will eat from their menu. But it's pricey.

    Do they still offer 7 course dinner with pairing?

    Yes, we do but only on select dates! Our next event will be next Thurs Sept 20th. Please like our Facebook page or follow us on Instagrams for all announcements. Hope to see you soon!

    Is the uni risotto available during lunch time?

    Yes!

    Are there happy hour specials?

    They just started: Monday through Wednesday all night $1 oysters (minimum 6) and $3 Sapporo. They will add a happy hour menu in about 2 weeks.

    We chose Ise-Shima at the Miyako Hotel for an early birthday celebration with my parents, wife,…read morechildren, sister and nephews. It should have been an easy win. The room is beautiful. The chefs are visible. The staff is plentiful. The music is good. The atmosphere feels like the kind of place that understands hospitality. Unfortunately, the experience never quite came together. The first challenge was the temperature. The dining room felt more like a sauna than a restaurant. To his credit, our server Arthur worked hard to help and eventually got management to increase the air conditioning. He was easily the standout of the evening and did everything he could to salvage the experience. We ordered extensively, including the $130 Ise Course. Some of it was quite good. Some of it was surprisingly disappointing. The grilled lobster with yuzu miso and kinome was completely overcooked, dry and buried under too much sauce. One of the signature dishes of the course ended up being one of the weakest. The grilled yellowtail suffered from the same problem: dry, overcooked and lacking the care you would expect from a restaurant presenting a seasonal multi course menu at this price point. The larger issue was organization. Dishes constantly arrived with servers asking, "Who ordered this?" or "Who has the udon?" The dining room felt strangely disconnected from the kitchen. Food runners seemed unsure where dishes belonged, which created confusion throughout the meal. Then things really went sideways. Trying to be respectful, I asked that my parents be served first. Everyone eventually received their meals and continued eating. The problem was that my Ise Course never arrived in sequence. My family finished their meals. My children finished. My parents finished. My sister finished. And on my birthday, I sat there alone waiting for several missing courses while everyone else watched. A seasonal set menu is supposed to feel paced and intentional. Instead, it felt forgotten. Arthur again stepped in and spoke with management. The restaurant offered complimentary desserts, which was appreciated, although somewhat awkward because my meal was still arriving while everyone else was already moving on to dessert. What happened next genuinely surprised me. When the bill arrived, management returned and asked whether we would be willing to authorize an additional charge so gratuity could be increased from 18% to 20% because of the size of the party. After the heat, the delays, the confusion, the overcooked centerpiece dishes, the missed pacing and spending a birthday meal eating alone after everyone else had finished, it felt like the wrong conversation to be having. I don't enjoy writing reviews like this because there is clearly talent in the building and Arthur deserves recognition for how hard he worked. But hospitality is ultimately about making people feel cared for. On this visit, despite a beautiful room and some good food, that never happened.

I am disappointed in myself for waiting this long to try Ueno Sushi. I've been driving by this location on Carson st for 10 years. It used to be something else (Thai maybe?) before it was a sushi restaurant. I think it was something else before that. I never went here because I thought the food would be mediocre given the history of changes but I was so wrong. SO WRONG! I came here on a Friday night for a party of 1 and while the restaurant was full and many customers were coming in for their reservations, I did not have to wait. The Sashimi Combo 10pc was surprisingly generous. Every single piece of sashimi was huge. I honestly thought they forgot to cut each piece in half lol. It also comes with a bowl of rice, salad, and miso soup. I finished the night with blue fin toro sushi. For those who might find themselves confused like me, this is labeled Sushi on the menu, but it is better labeled as nigiri -- the sashimi on a small ball of rice.

It is eastablished and celebrated by eaters far more articulate and with wider reach than I. But I recently went, and enjoyed myself quite a bit. Not only because the food was incredible but because the staff made me feel like a special patron. My main server was Julian. He was young, attentive and continued the chain of grand service. But there are two other female servers that make the experience pop with above the line service, I wish I knew their name. The first passed me and my companion Conrad and asked how is your mother? All I could say was she was still alive. I took my mom to mother's day there two years ago and she remembered. That kind of service cannot be reproduce because it was held in heart and intention. I was a welcomed guest. I may not go often but when I do I am remembered. That kind attentiivesness is more than appreciated, it is remembered too! The second server when I leave the place meets my eyes, has a grand wide smile, and said something in Japanese that makes me feel seen in Kyoto. I am engaged in a jovial way by the staff here that is why it is a sincere pleasure to buy the kitchen staff a picther so we can Kanpai!. There sweet way with me is something I cannot undervalue because in doing so I would ignore the kind of hospitatlty that moves mountains closer to the sun. And the food is amazing, like so good, it cannot be ignored espeically when the menu went through changes. The reason why that face immediately hit me in the face was because I used to go for these corn tempura things that were like this amazing crunch in corn. But still what we had was wonderul. Like I would hurt back or strain my inner thigh trying to complain about the food in this place. This time around Conrad and I had their Shabu Shabu. I have had Shabu Shabu before (not here) a few times, not many but this was the first time that Conrad had it. And that face in itself is special, I think. So moving on from that, eating Shabu Shabu was engaging cause you basically create a broth that you are using to cook veggies and meat so images of witches and camping come to the mind, easily. I also took a video of Conrad grinding some sesame seeds, like he was an apothecary or doctor of old times. And I do not care who you are, you are going to enjoy working a bit, especially in a fun way, for your meal. Like who would not like to peel a few cloves of garlic for their herbed chicken? The broth came with pork shoulder and pork belly. We also had some meat and onions on stick--- I think we had pork belly and chicken. We also had a rice ball. We also had thier Gobo Chips. This is something that survived the menu transition that hit every crispy bite. It hit every crispy bite. By this point I know that the food will be fantastic, and the type of food that warms the heart and soul- comfort food. However, this, comfort food is not mine to claim by familiarity because I have not known it since childhood. But I have known it enough to know it as comfortable. I guess, I can claim it as familiar because it became such in the span of years, not decades. Like when can someone claim a carne asado taco to be familiar comfort food when they did not grow up eating it? That is the question that I am left to ponder. This place is a spot I know to be good and trust to deliver on service and quality.

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.

    I've lived in the area for a while and have always driven past this little takeout-only sushi spot…read moretucked away in a small plaza. It's definitely one of those hidden hole-in-the-wall places that you might miss if you weren't looking for it. I finally had the chance to give it a try. I ordered the #1, which came with a nice variety of sushi including yellowtail, tuna, mackerel, sweet shrimp, and more. I was surprisingly full by the end of the meal. The quality of the seafood was excellent, and the preparation was done really well. Every piece was enjoyable, and you could tell care went into what they served. The service was warm and friendly--it's a true mom-and-pop shop, and that personal touch really adds to the experience. The pricing was very fair for the quality and portion size. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back again. If you're looking for a quality takeout-only sushi spot that's easy to overlook, this hidden gem is definitely worth checking out.

Sushi Yoshi is a small, OG take-out sushi spot which is run by an older gentleman. I knew it was going to be legit because they have Plum Paste (Ume) Roll on the menu which most sushi restaurants do not offer. This brings back so many memories of my childhood and I always order it if available. All of our sushi choices were very well made and really good quality fish. It did take 20 minutes for him to prepare our entire order since we walked in, so next time we'll call in our order. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with limited parking. You can find some street parking on the side street, but there is no parking on Artesia Blvd. so try to avoid that as much as possible.
