To me, it doesn't deserve the rating it has, it should be higher. What is great about this place are the reasonably priced lunch specials, and you can also get 1/2 rolls during lunch. It isn't the mighty quality that's at other places, but it's reasonable. I believe it's Korean owned, so it's not a traditional Sushi experience. Still, overall, it's good. So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work." read more

Sushi is still tasty and fresh. Beers are cold and service from chefs and FOH is very friendly. Restaurant is busy with many regulars and families, that's always a good sign. I tried the aloha roll for the first time and it was very delicious. Nigiri is always solid here and yellowtail scallion cut roll was very fresh and made well. The sushi chefs move very quickly which is pretty cool. Thank you again! read more

It's pretty good, but they're pretty cheesy with wasabi. Also, on our last postmates order we got $60 of sushi and they sent one set of chopsticks. read more

Have been coming here for years. Always a good time. Food is great, ambiance is even better! We've tried almost everything on the menu. We typically sit at the bar and service is awesome. The chefs will give a sample of something off the menu on the house, very generous on their part. Always welcomed in with smiles from all the staff. During Christmas time they have trees up, nice and cozy sushi spot. read more

Oki Doki Sushi is such a great spot! The fish was incredibly tender and buttery, and the lunch deal was an amazing price for so much delicious food. Service was quick and very friendly. No complaints at all--definitely recommend! read more

Recently discovered gem! Food: Fish to rice ratio was perfect! They put a fat, thick layer of fish, which you don't get at most restaurants, so this was great! Price was fair for the quality and quantity. (If you're looking for a good deal, go during lunch hours and get their lunch deal meal!). Miso soup was surprisingly good as well! I hate it when I go to a Japanese restaurant and the miso soup is watered down and lukewarm, but this place had their miso soup piping hot and flavourful! Ambiance: Lots of seating available and spacious. Location: It's a bit hard to find the place and parking is limited, but the inside is definitely better than the look of the outside! Staff: Great staff. Quick service, but not one of those where they're trying to rush you out asap. Overall, great place! First time, but definitely won't be my last! Not an Instagrammy place, but definitely worth a visit! read more

Very unassuming little spot but wow the food is great! The sushi is very fresh and the portions are incredibly generous. Service is very quick and they are very friendly. They are open for lunch and then they close until dinner. I would suggest trying them out at lunch as they have several really great specials that show off the Sushi. read more

I've been searching for a sushi spot closer to my home in North Redondo than my go to in Torrance. Hmm, maybe I've found it? 2 miles away, decent little restaurant with nice service and good sushi! Many sushi places I've tried have micro rolls and small bites of fish and I either need to order a ton or swing by Taco Bell on the way home. Not Oki Doki - portions and quality are both good. First time there, a solid four star visit...gotta try it again soon, trending toward 4.5/5 stars. Alrighty, Oki Doki...lol. read more

I've had worse but 1 roll was completely not edible. Both of the rolls rice was a little hard - seemed like there was no sushi rice seasoning and it was falling apart, no stickiness. Luckily the first roll I had with the tuna and sauce was pretty decent. The second was pretty terrible, I couldn't stomach it. The inside had really unfresh fish chopped up, very questionable, a piece of my salmon had a large brown spot on it and I was too worried to eat it. The first roll wasn't bad but again for the price $15.99 per roll I'd expect at least 3.5 star sushi. Sorry but I will not take my chances here again. read more

Got food poisoning from this place and it didn't even taste good. Oh, the service was horrendous as well. There was an older woman on staff that looked and acted mean as hell for no reason. Go to Ju's poke if you want to eat raw fish. This place is no good. read more

They have such an a big selection of sushi rolls and the ones we tried were incredible! Their Salmon sashimi is probably the best sashimi i've had in California and even the Fatty Tuna (Toro) was incredible and worth it! The service was great it's a pretty smaller restaurant so they were really attentive. read more

TLDR: A cute, delicious sushi spot tucked into a plaza corner! If you want yummy, high quality sushi at a reasonable price, this is it! Parking was easy (street right in front and also small lot) and free. THE AMBITIOUS FEW: The food was so so good! I had the "Superman Roll" which was sweetly savory from the eel and refreshingly spicy from the spicy tuna. I also tried the toro, yellowtail, salmon, and scallop sushi. THESE ARE A MUST !! Each and every one of the sushi pieces were thick, juicy, and FRESH. I was so busy scarfing them down I didn't have a decent photo to post! If I had one critique, it would be that they are so SO busy with to-go and UberEats orders. read more

This place is on the busy PCH at a small mall with a parking lot, and I think it's quite a great little hidden treasure. The interior is rather modest with 8 tables and a sushi bar. Our server was quick, and the food came out at a good pace. I ordered California roll and vegetable roll for my kids, and the harbor combo for myself with 8 pieces of sushi, and a spicy tuna roll. We also got edamame. I was really pleased with the sushi--much better than I expected for the price and location. My kids scarfed down the rolls in no time, too. One note of caution, the spicy tuna was unusually spicy. I'm used to very spicy food, but I did note the roll had more bite than I'm used to. All in all, I found it a great experience. read more

One of the worst sushi I've had :( We ordered a bento with salmon roll and tuna roll. I also ordered Amberjack nigiri. Maybe it's because I ordered delivery but the rice wasn't cooked well. Some pieces were hard. And the rice was flavorless. Good sushi has good tasting rice but it seems like they forgot to add the rice vinegar. And the fish did not taste fresh at all. The miso soup however was very tasty, and the mixed tempera was fine. read more

Sushi was great! Their tuna was so fresh and melt in your mouth. They were very quick with meal preparation and it's a very cute small place. Worth the wait. Parking is a little difficult.

I absolutely love this place! I grew up going to oki doki sushi and they never disappoint. They are almost a hole in a wall place next to a pizza shop and seven eleven. Parking is very limited as well so Lee that in mind when coming. Service: good! Got everything in a timely order and fashion Ambiance: it's a very cute restaurant, pretty small, but is clean and decorated Food: I love this food, and I always will love it. Personally with my experience I've never had anything bad. MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ROLL IS THE FIRE ROLL. Unfortunately I ate the roll before I took a picture because it was too delicious. Baked mussels were very saucy and juicy. Yellowtail was very good as well! Just beware it has bones read more

Still my favorite sushi restaurant anywhere in the South Bay. Have been going there for years and love the staff! We've made it a tradition in our family to celebrate there for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. Staff and chefs recognize us and are always happy to see us, as happy as we are to be there. The menu is huge, so every taste will be satisfied. Even the sides and salads (love me some cucumber salad) are tasty. Try it out - you won't be disappointed. I think I'm going to go once a week! read more

I got the Oki Doki roll, I was so disappointed. It looked nothing like the pictures, just a bunch of mush on a plate. Service was really bad, the waiter seemed annoyed when I asked for the simplest thing like utensils and napkins, what a burden I was asking for the essentials lol. Waiter seemed focus on the large groups vs me by myself. The place was busy and the reviews sounded good but I was let down for sure. read more

This place is not good. The cucumber rolls were mushi. The sushi was so chewy that my husband couldn't eat it. The miso soup was good for $1.50. The muscles were ok. The best thing was the miso soup. It's in a 711 parking lot. Not sure how it got rated so high. read more

3.5 stars rounded down for generously portioned, yet inconsistent sushi. Specialty rolls like their Fire and Sapporo were quite fresh and well-constructed.  Within the Harbor sushi combo, however, the nigiri was a grab-bag dominated by subpar quality maguro, sake, and albacore atop overly packed rice.  The blue crab and california rolls were thankfully far more fresh, yet still heavy-handed with the rice. Steer clear of the broiled hamachi kama...the mild yet present fishy odor upon opening the container was hardly confidence-inspiring. Good to at least give this place a shot, but it's unlikely we'll order again. read more

Hold your tongues, sushi snobs! Oki Doki delivers consistent, decent quality, especially at their price-point. Tried a few nigiri combos this time: Harbor Combo if you're hungry. Eight pieces with a choice roll, spicy tuna will work. The chef will choose all the standard sushi, and you have a nice, expected mix of salmon, tuna, and yellowtail, and shrimp. Oki Doki Combo if you're starving. Same sushi, extra pieces. Tokyo Combo if you'd like a little less. The Crunch Roll is a filling option for this one. They also have Tempura if you'd rather have something hot, and you can't go wrong with the rolls. If you have a night where you're looking to just pig out on sushi but don't want to be out several hundred dollars, Oki Doki can probably do it for less than one. read more

[Review #571] 2020 Yelp 100 Challenge (81/100) Long overdue... I was reminded of Oki Doki Sushi when I was cleaning up my takeout menu drawer. ODS has been a hidden gem of the South Bay since my daughter's godmother introduced it to us almost 20 years ago... I have had date nights with my husband, celebrated our birthdays, & just hung out with friends. Simon, the owner, is a sociable guy... & always greets us by name whenever we drop in. Whenever we're in a small group (2 - 4), we usually try to sit by Sushi Chef Chan, & every now & then he would comped us a small plate of tempura/fried albacore. Yum! Although we're been coming here for years, we haven't tried every roll/menu item because we have our favs: SASHIMI SALAD (generously filled with sashimi), TEMPURA BOWL & TEMPURA NOODLE (kids' favs because they're not sushi fans yet... it's a work-in-progress), OISHII ROLL (spicy tuna, imitation crab, albacore, salmon, avocado, cucumber), ICHIBAN ROLL (spicy yellowtail, tuna, salmon, albacore, fish, shrimp, avocado), IN & OUT ROLL (spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, seared tuna), SNOWCONE ROLL (imitation crab, avocado, baked albacore, lobster), P.C.H. ROLL (tuna, salmon, imitation crab, avocado, soy paper), VOLCANO ROLL (baked scallop, spicy imitation crab, avocado, spicy tuna), ALOHA ROLL (spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, albacore), CRUNCH DRAGON ROLL (avocado, crab, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna), CRUNCH ROLL (shrimp tempura, avocado, imitation crab, smelt egg), DRAGON ROLL (imitation crab, avocado, cucumber, spicy tuna), VEGAS ROLL (tuna, imitation crab, avocado, salmon, shrimp tempura). From the Specials Menu, our regular picks include: CRISPY SPICY TUNA (spicy tuna, jalapeño on crispy rice), JALAPEÑO BOMB (spicy tuna, cream cheese, jalapeño with spicy garlic sauce), FIRE ROLL (tuna, salmon, albacore, yellowtail, avocado, imitation crab, cucumber, onion with spicy sauce, soy paper), SUPERMAN ROLL (spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber/eel, imitation crab, smelt egg with special sauce), TUNA TATAKI (seared tuna with garlic dressing), CRAZY ROLL (spicy tuna, imitation crab, avocado, shrimp tempura, soy paper, deep fried), ALBACORE JUNGLE (albacore sashimi on crispy onion with ponzu sauce). This is not high quality fresh fish like Sushi Sasabune, K-ZO, Matsuhisa... but for what it is, Oki Doki Sushi's fish is fresh, & their special rolls are inventive & oh so good. The filling is fair & sometimes generous that you definitely get the bang for your buck. We like Chan because his rolls are tight, so it doesn't fall apart if we can't eat the roll in 1 bite. From the standard menu, Oishii Roll is almost always ordered; I loved that it's carb free & super refreshing with the cucumber wrap instead of seaweed. Ichiban Roll is a frequent pick because of the packed filling of variety fishes. As far as the specials, they're all pretty yummylicious.... I love the chili heat from Jalapeño Bomb & I really enjoy the texture & flavor of the Crispy Spicy Tuna (this is reminiscent of the crunch from Chinese Sizzling Rice Soup aka 鍋粑湯). The garlic dressing on the Tuna Tataki is soooooo dope that we used the excess sauce to dress the plain rolls like Spicy Tuna Roll. The Fire Roll's spicy sauce is also packs a l'il punch (I say little because I have a high tolerance for chili)... notice a trend in my fav picks? ;-) Service is obviously great since we're regulars. The dining room is on the smaller side for a sushi restaurant & is often packed no matter the time of day -- weekday or weekend. Prices are ridiculously cheap from $4 - $15 (higher prices are for the special rolls). Prices have increased over the years but ODS is still offers competitively priced sushi. Parking is a major problem because there's only a handful of spaces that's shared with 7-Eleven & a pizza joint in the same plaza. NOTE: I haven't been back since the change in ownership/COVID-19 lockdown. But a neighbor picked up an order for us in October 2020 when he was getting takeout for his family. Sushi quality remains the same but a couple of rolls were a tad skimpy in filling. :-| Highly Recommended: Oishii Roll, Ichiban Roll, Crispy Spicy Tuna, Jalapeño Bomb, Tuna Tataki, Fire Roll, Crazy Roll, Snowcone Roll. read more

I ordered three rolls from Oki Doki for takeout and as the restaurants name mentions they were just okay. I don't think I'll be coming back in the future. I ordered the Hawaiian Roll, Crunch Dragon Roll, and the Rainbow Roll. The sushi wasn't anything special and I was disappointed in the cuts that were made in the roll, which seemed incomplete and made it difficult to pull a piece from the roll without it braking. Also as a previous review mentioned their packaging seemed pretty wasteful--the three roles came in three separate containers (each double the size of the roll). read more

I ordered take out through the Yelp app for dinner on the weekend. The timing was right on from the estimate from what Yelp gave me for the order so that was really nice. Nice customer service. We ordered the Oki Doki combo and 3 rolls. It was a little weird that we got 3 separate boxes for the rolls, kinda a bit wasteful for plastic when it could have fit in one box. We got plenty of condiments but the wasabi was this weird green paste from a plastic packet that didn't want dissolve. Personally I feel like good wasabi is just as important as fresh sushi. So it was a hit and miss. The fish in the koi doki combo was great but one of the rolls was a bit fishy, like it end of freshness. It wasn't horrible just a little off. 2/3 rolls just fell apart when we picked them up, like they were rolled too loose and one of the rolls weren't cut through so all the pieces stuck together which also caused them to fall apart. We went after sunset so it wasn't like we went at the end of night. We live about 15 mins from this place and we kept the food in the cabin with us so wouldn't expect the off flavor to develop that fast. I expect this maybe from a cheaper sushi place. I was really hopeful when we ordered because of great reviews but was a bit disappointed. read more

THE WORST SUSHI, SASHMI, CUSTOMER SERVICE, I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! If you are thinking of ordering here then make sure you are ready to throw up and be sick for days on end. The reviews baffle me in a sense of that is what I based my order off of. For what? For the biggest disappointment I have yet to experience from any place in the area. The only way this place is getting decent ratings is because they are probably paying off their customers to stay in business. read more

The best thing I tried out of that menu was the tempura roll. Ordered the oki doki roll along with the crunch dragon roll. I don't know if it was me or what but the spicy tuna had a weird taste to it. So we removed it from the top of the dragon roll and ate the rest as far as the oki doki roll, we just ate the deep fried crawfish and left the roll. Went there on a Friday at one and there was only three other groups of people. The waiter guy wasn't welcoming at all. He literally came once to ask us if we were ready and we ordered drinks and one roll and told him I needed to look at the menu a little longer. He only came back to drop off the roll and that's when I was able to order the other two items. Asked him for a cup with no ice for my soda and brought me an ice cup. Didn't bring me my miso soup that came with the lunch special and hadn't brought us plates for sharing. It was annoying have to keep getting his attention. Yet he went multiple times to the other two tables. Then he would go to the register to text. Might be best to order out? read more

We ordered sushi to go ... we could tell it was not edible as soon as we opened the various containers. We understand that the current environment makes it difficult to deliver consistently, but when we called to inform them, they insisted that we return the sushi to the restaurant to receive a refund. We explained that doing so was impossible due to the curfew that evening. We received horrible sushi, but worse: They did not take accountability for lack of quality. Spent over $80 for food I could not consume nor receive a refund. read more
