My wife and I shared a variety of different rolls and I had a black truffle topped eel. We had a tempura California, spicy tuna, philly, and a cucumber wrapped roll. All excellent. They had some really creative cocktails too. Honestly it would have been 5 stars if it wasn't for the awkward kitchen situation. After we sat down and they brought out our drinks they informed us the kitchen was closed for cooked meals. I came for sushi so I didn't care but my wife was upset and stayed for me only. Every table they would wait for drinks to arrive which in my opinion was a sneaky tactic to keep people from leaving. They should have been up front before seating customers. Sushi was 5 stars all the way so I will definitely be back.

$350 to be treated like an inconvenience…read more Incredible. Let me start with the 45 minute wait PAST our reservation time. Not 10, not 15, forty five minutes. Did anyone come over to acknowledge it? Nope. We just sat there watching the host staff do absolutely nothing with urgency. But okay, we were starving, so we stayed. We ordered big -- like, embarrassingly big, probably 80% of the menu plus sake -- because we wanted to give this place a real shot. And look, some of it was actually great. But some of it was not edible. Not "not my taste," not edible. So we sent those dishes back, which is a completely normal thing to do at a restaurant that charges these prices. What happened next genuinely shocked me. The chefs took it as a personal attack. Rude comments, visibly annoyed, staring us down from the kitchen for the rest of the meal. We couldn't even enjoy the good food because the whole vibe became hostile. It were so uncomfortable that we honestly just wanted to leave. $350. That's what we spent. And we left feeling like we ruined someone's night by simply expecting edible food. The disappointment isn't even about the dishes it's the attitude from the front staff all the way back to the kitchen. You can train a team. You can't teach humility, and you damn sure can't teach someone to care. Do not recommend.

We will definitely be back. Also I accidentally left my wallet there with cash in it and I went back the next day and they gave it to me with all my cash in it. I am so grateful. They are good people and the prices and sushi are great. We got 1/2 off on their special Monday - Thursday deal. Thank you Sapporo Owners and Staff!

Hands down one of the best sushi experiences I've had in Long Beach so far. From the moment I…read morewalked in, I felt transported to Japan. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I believe the owners were there that evening, they were incredibly kind and even toasted with me a few times, which made the experience feel extra special. Every dish was beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and packed with flavor. I wish I could tell you exactly what everything was, but my ADHD memory isn't doing me any favors . What I do remember is that every bite was delicious. The sashimi melted in my mouth, the nigiri was perfectly prepared, and the presentation was stunning from start to finish. If you're looking for high quality sushi in Long Beach, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. I already can't wait to go back. P.S. The photos probably do a better job of remembering what I ordered than I can.

I tried to modify my reservation online and change the number of guest from 4 to 2 and keep the same date and time. The option was not available. The day before reservation day, I sent a message via open table to let tokyo noir know that only two guest will show up. When i arrived, they were not aware of the change and seemed annoyed that i didnt let them know. Had they checked their messages, they would have seen the request. The other thing i don't like is the vibe. Im used to going to bars where the bar tenders and wait staff will chat with the guest. That was not the case here. They were focused on serving drinks and food and less focused on the vibe. The drinks are great but i wouldn't return due to the lack of energy.

The menu had such a wide variety of Japanese cuisine, from sushi, to katsu, to donburi, there's something for everyone! Loved the modern clean vibes of the interior. They start you off with complimentary miso soup, which was full and rich (a bit salty for my liking but that's just me). We also ordered a plate of nigiri as our appetizer, and the fish quality was really fresh. I ordered the chicken katsu plate for myself, and my was it delicious. I've never tasted katsu so light even though it's typically fried, and love the sauce they paired the katsu with. It was almost like a mustard? But it wasn't too overpowering or anything. We finished the night with the tempura ice cream, and let me tell you, this is a MUST. I honestly just expected them to throw some panko on top of a scoop of ice cream, but Te-Buru's take is (somehow) baking a tempura crust right onto a giant scoop of ice cream and then cutting up the scoop into wedges. The ice cream surprisingly did not melt all that quickly either, and the matcha flavor was on point. Our servers were quick to meet our requests, nothing super outstanding but made the meal pretty seamless. Prices I think were pretty standard except for their sushi. Those are bit on the steeper side, but again, their fish quality is really good. For parking, they do have a small lot, but there's also street parking and parking in the neighborhood behind the restaurant. You'd be delulu not to try Te-Buru!

Easily obsessed with this place now. We've only gone once, but we love it…read more We were heading back to LA from doing something in Long Beach, and wanted to stop and have a drink somewhere quick. This place popped up, and it was happy hour. So we thought why not. We got lucky and found parking close (rare for that street). And walked over and immediately loved the vibe. We walked in and were greeted immediately, and then brought upstairs. The decor on the way up was awesome. The old school nature, with paintings and abstract vintage pieces.. love. It felt like we were in an old industrial building. We were surprised that it was pretty empty when we got up there. We sat at the bar, and love the decor upstairs too. There's a view of the street from up there as well that's beautiful. The bartender greeted us fairly quickly, and we each ordered a speciality cocktail on their happy hour. Both were delicious. I will say that the prices are a bit steep for me. Very glad we came during the happy hour. But really want to return to try the food and more drinks. Maybe on a special date night out!

She was gracious enough even with there being little to no wiggle room- so shout out to her. Our servers were great, appetizers came out hot and delicious. I think we ordered 4 rounds of Brussels sprouts Drinks were tasty- highly recommend the espresso martini with a side of vanilla ice cream. Overall had a great time and appreciate the customer service!

My husband and I came with our 4 month old baby, and our server (I think his name was Jan?) was incredibly warm and welcoming to our family. He seated us in a quieter area, which made such a difference. Even when the restaurant started getting busier, our baby stayed calm and even fell asleep peacefully. We ordered the AYCE Wagyu set and loved everything. Just a heads up, there's a 90minute time limit, so keep that in mind. Overall: great service, great vibes, and a very clean restaurant. The best part? They're dog friendly too, so next time we're bringing our pup with us :)

Everything in here was decent, nothing mind blowing. I'd order again if I want a variety. 4/5 - Sosoguud Roll. This was okay. I do appreciate the sauce on the side. 5/5 - Tuna crispy rice. Has got to be some of the best in the area, this is a must order! Even when I got it takeout it was still good and crispy. Definitely will order this again. I'd definitely like to dine-in sometime and try their other items!
