    Our today's sashimi choices.

    One of the best South Bay spots for sushi and sashimi. Great service, friendly staff, sushi chefs Eddy and Tony are the best. Never dissapointed and always will come back.

    K Dragon Roll
    Yvette M.

    We stopped by for lunch and were warmly greeted as we walked in. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety and descriptions of food on the menu which also included a separate lunch menu. Not being super hungry, we orded two rolls which included the Rainbow Roll and the K Dragon Roll. We really enjoyed both rolls. The fish was so fresh and the flavors amazing. The K Dragon Roll topped with eel was drizzled with the perfect amount of sauce. There is plenty of seating available which also included a bar and what appeared to be a covered patio. It was pretty mellow during the lunch hour on a Friday. We will definitely be back!

    Habanero Salmon Roll! Yum!
    Ian C.

    Me and my sister's family decided to check this place out after a day out at San Pedro. We called ahead and were sat immediately. Our server gave us some recommendations when asked and we were kind of in a time crunch but my sister hasn't had sushi in a while so we ordered a bunch! My main roll was the Habanero Salmon Roll. The sauce had a good kick on it and the fish itself was fresh and delicious! We also had some squid legs and crispy rice tuna both of which were really delicious! The only main reason I had to dock a star was my sisters husband is vegetarian and was recommended a dish that had meat on it (fish flakes). Our server profusely apologized and took the dish off on our bill but unfortunately I still would have to dock a star. Overall though, everything we had was really good! The seating area is huge for bigger parties and really had no complaints aside from the non vegetarian dish. Would definitely come back again if I was in the area!

    Truffle Salmon and Albacore with Crispy Onion
    Bryan L.

    Good food, good service. Casual atmosphere with lots of parking. One of the best spots for sushi or sashimi in the South Bay. It is located off PCH, adjacent to the Rolling Hills Plaza. Inside has lots of small and medium sized tables as well as an outdoor patio. There's a small bar with two tvs if you want to watch sports games or just chat with the chef making sushi rolls. We went for weekend lunch and were seated right away. We were astonished by the great selection of appetizers, rolls, and sashimi. It's almost a bit overwhelming. Fittingly, we ordered a bit of everything. Appetizers: crispy rice with spicy tuna and Takoyaki balls. Each had the perfect amount of crispy and soft. Both were yummy. Rolls: spicy eel tempura. Good flavor with varying textures. Spicy albacore tataki was ok, not my favorite Sashimi: truffle salmon carpaccio probably the best I've ever eaten. Lightly seared with a hint of smoke, a dash of sea salt, and a pinch of truffle oil. Just a unique combination that is truly delicious. Albacore with crispy onion was soft and buttery with a slight sweetness. Service was excellent. Servers are attentive, filled water multiple times and delivered/bussed dishes quickly.

    Spanish Mackerel (Aji) & Salomon Sushi
    Rich G.

    OKane Umi is my goto for the best sushi in the South Bay. They are always on par with the freshness of the fish. I had to order my Aji (Spanish mackerel). They always have an awesome plating for it. Thank you Okane Umi for the best service and the freshest fish!

    The food was good. Service was great. We came in a little late but overall very attentive to us and gave us a little extra time to order even though kitchen was about to close.

    Cute little place. You can tell they take pride in keeping it clean and serving up delicious food ! The only thing I was kinda bothered by was there was only 1 server and he seemed really overwhelmed.. him being alone made him impersonal... BUT the food was great and I can't wait to go back !! Want fresh & beautiful sushi, Okane Umi is it !

    Disgusting, food in our drinking water.

    I brought an issue to the manager's attention after noticing there was food floating in both of our drinking cups. Instead of addressing it professionally, he became immediately defensive and rude. I showed him my girlfriend's cup and then mine, both clearly contaminated. He used his phone light to inspect the cup, then dumped the water out and pushed the empty cup back toward me, demanding that I show him where the food was. At that point, it felt more like he was trying to challenge me than actually help resolve the situation. He also implied we were trying to get free food, which was frustrating and completely untrue. When he asked if it was our first time there, I said no, and he responded with "I've never seen you here before," which felt dismissive and irrelevant. We showed him the sushi we had ordered, which my girlfriend couldn't even finish because she was so disgusted. Instead of apologizing or trying to fix the situation, he told us to leave. No apology, no accountability just a confrontational attitude. Definitely not the kind of service you expect when bringing up a legitimate concern about cleanliness.

    The food is very delicious and fresh! The service was great and couldn't be more happier with the nice calm atmosphere. Definitely plan on coming back!

    A must try!! So fresh and delicious just mind blowing !! I'm still Service was amazing as well, nice little restaurant, just a great experience overall.

As you enter and are seated you're transported to a yakitori bar filled with the smells of charcoal and a vivacious ambiance. If you are not a selective eater, I highly recommend trying every skewer they have! My friend and I ordered the pork belly, chicken meatball, quail egg, chicken thigh with green onion, fried tofu, zucchini, fried onigiri (grilled rice ball), and the potato (with butter). There were also specials off menu - we tried the chicken sasami which was incredibly tender. All the skewers were seasoned so well and the charcoal made a huge difference in the experience. We did pair our proteins with the onigiri and potato which filled us up. There were condiments to complement the skewers - Japanese spice powder, yuzu kosho, vinegar, and soy sauce. I pretty much had the yuzu kosho with everything. I'm not sure if there was something wrong with their AC, but it was quite hot in there!

With Showa-era music playing in the background, there's a genuine sense of history and tradition. They have an excellent sake selection and some unique dishes from the taisho (chef). The food is well flavored and definitely designed to go well with a drink, as a good izakaya should be. But if you don't drink, there are other options too.

The dining room is relatively small, with roughly 10 to 15 tables, and the two employees working the floor were hustling all evening and did a genuinely nice job taking care of everyone. The food itself was solid. The standout dish of the night was actually the grilled asparagus, which came with a soy-based preparation that was absolutely outstanding, perfectly tender and cooked just right. The wedge salad was also very good, and both the 16oz ribeye@$86, and the 8oz filet mignon @$76 were well prepared and enjoyable. Where things became more complicated for me was the overall value proposition. The prices are undeniably steep, especially for Lomita. Whenever I dine somewhere upscale, I inevitably ask myself whether, for the same money, I would have rather gone somewhere else. In this case, the answer was yes. I was also a bit disappointed to discover that there is no full bar. The restaurant seems to steer guests toward wine and sake, with only a handful of beer options available. Unfortunately, the first two beers I ordered, an IPA and then a Modelo, both on the menu, both out of stock, which certainly didn't help my overall impression. The dining room itself felt somewhat drab, all black walls, and lacked the refinement that I would expect at this price point. Dark walls and a crystal chandelier create an interesting contrast, but small details stood out for the wrong reasons. For example, I noticed exposed holes in the bar where a purse hook or latch had apparently been relocated. It may seem minor, but details like that matter when you're charging premium prices. At the end of the night, my wife and I walked out more than $300 lighter. While the food was undeniably good and the service was attentive, the experience simply didn't feel like a $300 evening to us. Overall, The Food Library delivers quality food and hardworking service, but for the price, I left wishing the atmosphere and overall experience matched the bill a bit more closely.
