I ended up giving this place another try and the sushi was great! I got a bento box and the seaweed salad and crab salad were generous portions and perfectly seasoned. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The only downside I have is I tried going a third time today and they were closed. I checked their instagram beforehand and there was no post about them being closed so I thought it was safe to make the journey over. Sadly, they had a closed sign at the window. Totally understandable that things happen with small business. It would just be nice to have a heads up online so we don't waste our time coming out here to not get what we came for. read more

Take out sushi! This spot is so cute! For a quicker way to satisfy a sushi craving, this is for sure a great option. If ya blink, you may miss it. Located right next to a small movie theater, and mostly recognized by the A-frame sign out front, is a walk up window to place your order. Food is made fresh while you wait. Took about 10 mins and my order was ready. Although 4th street can get quite busy, I was able to find parking right in front. Quality little place and prices are affordable. read more

A pickup window sushi joint for your takeout guilty pleasure? RetRoll recently replaced Hippea...and while I was so sad about the change because i loved those falafels, I recently decided to give them a shot during their sushi happy hour and I was not disappointed. I did ask the owner whether he would do an omakase for a budget, but he instead gracefully offered to help me order. I ended up going over budget, but it was worth it. I do wish their happy hour had a few other options (i.e. $2 off any roll) instead of the few rolls they offered, but nonetheless-if you're looking for some takeout sushi, definitely grab some sushi from here. They have a bunch of specialty rolls, as well as some classic ones. I do remember wishing they had a more classic yellowtail roll when I ordered, but either way don't let that deter you. This is a great takeout spot for sushi. Despite missing Hippea, I'm glad this neighborhood spot has come in to take its place and hopefully it's here to stay! read more

A few friends and I went to check out RetRoll Sushi Long Beach. Food was yummy, service was great, for a small take-out restaurant. We had placed our orders online, it was ready in the expected timeframe. The owner was very friendly and professional. We were blessed with a nice cool evening breeze too. I had ordered extra food to take home, and my family loved it too. Everything was fresh and tasty. I will definitely come back again. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Very good quality sushi in an unassuming tiny storefront. While I do miss Hip Pea dearly, I must admit it's nice having a good casual sushi option on 4th St convenient to me. Too bad the two couldn't coexist. I guess Jounetsu Ramen further west on 4th does some rolls but I haven't tried them so can't speak for their quality. The hubby and I decided to get some dinner here on a weeknight and got: Ultimate Roll - basically an omakase roll. The chef asks what you like and assembles something. I told him I was totally open and to make whatever. He asked if I liked eel (I do), and he came up with a roll with an eel base topped with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, crunchy tempura bits, masago, and eel sauce, which I asked for light (I hate goopy rolls). I was very pleased with this roll--it had good quality fish as well as good sushi rice and was assembled with care. Veggie Roll - fresh avocado, cucumbers and carrots with the aforementioned good rice. Simple, but well done. These weren't cheap, but I'd say reasonable for the quality. I'm looking forward to trying more of their offerings soon, like their poke bowls! The hubby was hoping to try some of their other vegan sushi that looked interesting, but according to the chef they weren't doing very well so he's discontinued them--bummer! At least most of the standard vegetarian options are vegan anyway. As with Hip Pea, just the small outdoor tables if you want to eat there--not the best on cold days, so I imagine most people get stuff to go. The chef is very personable and really cares about the food and customer service. I wish him the best and hope this place will be able to stick around! read more

So glad to have a sushi spot on 4th street :) It's located next to the theatre & art du vin wine bar. I got the ultimate roll which is basically a roll they customize to your liking by asking what fish + sauces you like/don't like. I also got a spicy tuna roll which was tasty and classic. Everything was fresh & I waited about 10-15 minutes for everything to be ready. It's a walk up window so be prepared to eat it to-go! You can also get sake at Art du Vin next door to pair with your sushi. read more

RetRoll is some super delicious and clean sushi. The location is perfect for a quick pick up and stroll, and the staff is friendly and attentive. We were just there on a busy Fourth Friday and found the staff to be very patient and helpful. I spend a lot of time working in Japan each year and sometimes I find the American versions of sushi to be overly complex and involving ingredients that really are not found in Japan. RetRoll is authentically clean and tasty. They are located right near the Art Theater and steps from loads of interesting shops.

The Hawaiian roll was very tasty and the chefs choice roll was customized according to whatever you want pending availability. This was great to give some variety. It is set up as a takeaway window, but they had 3 tables on the sidewalk which we ate at and made for great people watching strolling retro roll.

I love the option of building your own salad, however, I'm a one trick pony and I usually just go for their Signature Salads they have and adjust accordingly to my preferences.

I absolutely love the symphony of flavors with their Thai Peanut dressing and their Sweet Sriracha Vinaigrette- currently salivating as I'm writing this. Their salads may be a bit pricey but for the portions they give you and how consistent the quality is, I'd say it's worth the love they put into it. Their salads NEVER miss.

I liked the variety of chips and bottled drinks they offered but did not get any extras this visit. Salad was a good sized bowl. It included a little slice of pita bread that was tasty. There were lots of the sliced black olives and edamame. I understand having everything chopped bite sized, great of you are on the go, but my lettuce and other items were diced so finely... I could barely find the cucumber, the pickled onions were still pretty bitter tho tiny, and having grape tomatoes sliced up made them lose their flavor and texture. Mixed together, though, with some of the creamy Mediterranean dressing I chose, it was delicious and filling.

From service from both Nikki and Lindsey to the end. Everyone treated us very well. It's been a while since I've eaten at any George's Greek cafe. So it's nice to eat at one again.

My painting... I love how it turned out!

Closest pizza to a Chicago style pizza and they offer take n bake!…read more Seriously so good! Parking is tough, but preorder for takeout and it's a much smoother takeout process. We love the cheese and mushroom pie.These are genuine deep Dish pies, so order with TIME. It'll be well worth it :)

Like Angel B said, "Good Deep-Dish Pizza us hard to find". I agree with her. I miss Chicago Pizza…read morefrom Giridanos. My cousin used Yelp to find a place and very methodically we found ourselves here. Parking is a challenge since street parking is limited. We also were there on Sunday, Mother's Day so I'm not sure if that played into it. We ended up parking in the neighborhood several blocks away and walked over, service dog in tow. Each of us ordered our own personal pizzas, with our own unique requests. Bruschetta: Tomatoes, Garlic, seasons with Salt, Pepper and EVOO. I ordered: Spinach N' Feta Salad: Spinach, Feta Cheese, Craisins, and Crushed Candied Walnuts, with Honey Cider Vinegratette dressing. pizza: Stuffed pizza deep dish: with mozzarella cheese, and toppings, then covered with a thin layer of dough and zesty tomato sauce. I added artichoke. Overall, the salad was a favorite of mine. The pizza was 3.5/5. Maybe i was expecting Giardino's but the price hit more like Mortons. So, im going to say, 3/5 at best for overall service, quality of food, and price. Vibe: Casual, delicious, and very cheesy!

This place was AMAZING and hands down heads and tails above anything in or near the traffic circle…read more! IYKYK I happened to wake up and head to my bank near Long Beach but asa human when hungry turns to HANGRY, any one of us can get besides ourselves and this is when we are the pickiest ! So I walked in not expecting to much and my attention was drawn to the Chicken salad with cranberry $13.79 (Chicken salad with cranberries(chicken, green onion, carrots, cranberries, walnuts), Spicy brown mustard, Mayonnaise, Tomato, and Spinach! This was not just delicious but made with love, tenacity and the kind of stubbornness that made this sandwich "SLAP YA MAMMA GOOD" no really that's how good it was perfectly balanced, not messy served with house chips and one sweet pickled cherry popping pepper ! I've traveresed this area my mom friend and clients live in the area and there isn't one place that compete with Panini's near the airport ! In fact dot buy anything on the plane just pack everything up you buy here for the family and hit the tarmac ! Because this is as good as it gets in sandwich land !

I drove by this place a few times since it's right on a busy main street with a lot of traffic. I…read morewas actually surprised to find parking right in front, which was nice and convenient. When I walked in it was pretty quiet, but it was also right before dinner time. The place feels more like a casual deli spot -- you order at the counter and there are a few tables if you want to sit and eat. The space looked clean and simple, nothing fancy but comfortable enough. The employee working there was very friendly. He came out from the back, answered my questions, and recommended the chicken pesto panini, saying it's their most popular item. I also added a Caesar salad for $2.99, which I thought was a fair price, and decided to try the bread pudding as well. The panini itself was pretty good. The bread was nicely toasted, the cheese was melted well, and the pesto had good flavor. The only downside for me was the chicken -- it seemed like it might have been boiled and then mixed with pesto. It was a bit tougher than I would have liked. The Caesar salad was decent for the price. Unfortunately, the bread pudding didn't work for me. It was very dense and almost brick-like. Overall, the value is there and the staff was very nice. For me personally, the food felt a bit average. I tend to prefer paying a little more for higher quality rather than saving a few dollars on something that doesn't quite hit the mark. Because of that, I probably wouldn't go back, but others might appreciate the price point and friendly service. Food 3 stars. Staff 5 average 4

Service is spotty, but friendly. Parking is on the street or lots behind the street. The place was packed at 5 pm on a Wednesday and that tells you how popular it is.

Yum yum yum!…read more Scrumptious vegan veggie crepe and crunchy hash browns. Hit the spot! They have a wide selection of creative and interesting vegan options for breakfast and lunch. Their desserts look divine! Can't wait to return to try. Cute corner cafe on a busy corner. Parking can be tricky. You can order ahead to go or dine in. I usually like to park on a nearby side street then still over. Again, it's a busy road so use caution while crossing.

This vegan hot spot is right up my alley!…read more It's been so fun exploring Belmont and the Grain Cafe has quickly become one of my repeat spots. This healthy eatery serves up vegan and gluten free bites. They have an extensive menu of breakfast, lunch, and dessert items. The inside is adorable and feels like it's straight out of a 90s sitcom. They also have a small outdoor patio that's perfect for pets and sun soaking. I ordered their energy juice (bananas, dates, and Yerba mate) as well as the chilaquiles plate with red sauce. This chilaquiles was better than most meat based versions of this entrees. Everything is so fresh and tasty, you leave feeling lighter, yet full.
