Very good food. Staying next-door at the Vagabon Inn they haven't all you can eat $35. It was probably worth it. I got the teriyaki steak and the fried wontons very good for the price around 30 bucks. Probably next time I get the buffet or all you can eat very good place.

I've been coming to Sushi 21 for over 20 years. My sister and I make it a habit to come here. It's a gem of San Pedro. The sushi is some of the best I've ever had, and I've been to A LOT of sushi places. My favorite is the salmon skin. I recommend the all-you-can-eat option so you can try a good variety of their rolls. People talk bad about the service, but honestly I think they took things out of context and don't understand the culture. Get to know Christine, Kay and her Husband, who makes the sushi. They are very hard working people and are always professional. They are here to provide the best experience possible. I hope Sushi 21 stays here forever

I love the sushi but I was surprised at their veggie rolls. It's straight up lettuce and a sliver over avocado....yuck Veggie tempura roll is fire though...and prices are overall pretty good.

A Hidden Local Gem in San Pedro! If you're craving fresh, flavorful sushi in San Pedro, Sushi 21 is the spot you don't want to miss. This place truly feels like a neighborhood treasure--unassuming from the outside, but once you sit down, you realize you've found something special. The All You Can Eat option is absolutely the way to go. The fish is consistently fresh, the rolls are beautifully made, and the portions are just right so you can try a little bit of everything without feeling overwhelmed. From classic favorites to creative specialty rolls, every bite tastes like it was made with care. The chefs are attentive, friendly, and clearly take pride in their craft. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming--exactly what you'd expect from a long-loved local spot. Whether you're a sushi lover or just dipping your toes into Japanese cuisine, Sushi 21 makes you feel right at home. San Pedro has many great places to eat, but Sushi 21 truly stands out. Fresh food, great service, and an AYCE menu that's worth every penny. A true hidden gem that locals know and love.

I have been to this place maybe once before but I never really went back because it is in an awkward place. There is not a lot off foot traffic around, and I am not really sure where to park. Admittedly, these are not barriers that I cannot overcome. They are not a mountain half the size of Fuji, they are just inconveniences that I rather not deal with. And then one day, I was walking back to my car, and I saw someone who I thought might use a meal. I later learned his name was Oliver. I asked Oliver, if he would like a meal on me. He explained that he was just going to KFC for something to eat, so yeah, he could eat. We both entered and sat and enjoy the fare of Sushi 21. And the place was a pleasure--- a big Arigato! I owe to them. As I sat with Oliver, I took notice of the decorations. One specifically called my attention. It was a Japanese person, dressed in a regal robe, maybe a Kimono, scribing in parchment, not sure if it was papyrus, cause that belongs more to Egyptian culture. I wondered what the person was writing? A recipe for miso soup? A Haiku? Wisdom for the ages? I chose wisdom for the ages cause the person seemed lost in wonder yet focused in thought. That is how I get when I write wisdom for the ages. One of my favorite Japanese proverbs is the following: The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and the second best day is today. Maybe I said it wrong. But I know I got its spirt right. I thought that Oliver could benefit from this moment. He shared that he had moved to California for a fresh start after painful years, but he already felt behind. He did not share much just that. And I did not want to hear more, if he was not ready to share more. I am glad that he accepted my offer, as I would want someone to buy me some food, some good food with color and dignity, if I ever was so hungry and broke. And this place did offer good food that had color and dignity. This is best represented in Oliver's order: a Bento box. As the picture shows his chicken teriyaki Bento Box came with rice, miso, some gorgeous colors, and more sushi that I expected. I tried one of his shrimp. It was good but I wanted sweet shrimp with some wasabi under the shrimp, you know the kind that cleans your nostrils. He enjoyed every bite of his food. He cleaned his plate. He did not talk much, but heard a lot from me. He was kind, and allowed me share and he reflected as best he could. He was trying hard to practice principles of good personhood. And listening to me was a grand way to achieve the feat. He maintained eye-contact, did not use his phone, and shared that he was aiming to do better in life, in general and for that he needed focus to make good decisions. It was a grand sushi meal. My salmon and tempura roll hit the spot, in such a way where I enjoyed every piece with gusto. It looks pretty too. They cared about their presentation. The edamame came too hot to eat. Once it was cool, it was exactly what I needed--- garlic edamame that was not spicy. I have grown to hate spicy as I have grown in years. Two final interesting points. The miso soup did not come with a spoon. The server explained to me that in Japanese culture the miso waas drank from the bowl, like Belle learned to do after seeing the beast. I have been too many sushi spots and I have always received a spoon with my miso. Next time I will try to slurp my miso, and see how that goes. I have done it with other soups and I love it because the flavor nestles in the bottom and then you slurp and get concentrated flavor, like an injection of uncut flavor in the palette. The second interesting point is the concept of kintsugi which basically means that a broken vase can be fixed with gold, and the final product is a broken vase with gold lined cracks. The end result makes it more beautiful. Imagine a flawless beauty, like the Mona Lisa, with some milk foam on top of her lip. The messiness atop her smile is a wink to remind us that human beauty is cut and rebuild, and that journey makes the beautiful glow with meaning, like the wrinkles of worry in a mom when her son breaks her leg. Hopefully Oliver one days become the vase with broken cracks filled with gold, and if he does he sees himself as more beautiful for the journey that took him to that point.

Ok ok. I read the reviews and let's just say, if you can't beat my moms RBF then you ain't it. lol perhaps it's a culture thing, but I found the owners wife straight forward but not rude. Perhaps because I too have a RBF and can relate? Either way it was the best money I could have spent and the sushi was delicious. Service was fast and the salmon exquisite. I also tried the calamari salad which was fried calamari over a bed of lettuce and cabbage with a delicious dressing. Had a Philly roll and salmon roll. Really no complaints here. Will come back!!! Parked on the side street and very clean inside. Restroom also clean.

I was in the area for my dog to get a bath, was looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite, and stumbled across Sushi 21. With a modest exterior (and not too many reviews) I didn't have many expectations, just a good, quick bite. The food was excellent, great quality, had all the flavor! The staff were very kind and gave me their recommendations which were delicious! Also the pricing was totally reasonable!! Now I'm excited for my dog's next bath because I can stop by and get lunch again!

So it saddens me to leave this poor review, buts it's my truth and experience at Sushi 21. First and foremost the older lady, I believe she is the owners wife!?! Quite frankly the best resting B face, that I have ever seen, it literally should be in the dictionary with her face right on it. She is the topic of most reviews and well deserved! She is in my humble opinion, going to be the downfall of what used to be the best sushi restaurant that I have ever eaten at! Her attitude towards the customers, whom pay her bills is F'N disgusting and Appalling! Her husband needs to talk to his wife regarding this matter. He will lose his business over this..... She will definitely call you out if, she thinks that you did not tip enough! I'm talking loud and embarrassing and will have no problem even following you out the door. It's total BS! As a customer, you have every single right to give feedback and my way is with tip regarding service. If it sucks and you feel neglected and over looked, why would I tip you??? You didn't do your job and so, you should not be tipped! PERIOD! I have spoken to the owner regarding his wife's behavior and to no avail! So I stopped going. I'm not going to get abused by anyone no matter how good the food is. My Advice........ Try it, if you don't believe the yelp reviews! But we ALL can't be lying about this restaurant and the service. read more

I can deal with the flavor of my food not tasting as fresh as iit used to.. but.. i cant deal with moody mean scowl faced service.. she charged for 2 drinks when it was just me.. and wanted to argue about it? the ambiance is not great .. u feel like u walked into a storage room on the left and not comfy seating. I've been waiting for them to upgrade the seating.. truly.. has been sliding down hill for a while.. The elder woman.. should not be providing service. She's not friendly.. can't take your order right.. and then wants to argue.. when you want to correct it. I miss Cindy.. she was a great server.. but I havnt seen her the last few times I came..

I've seen varying reviews here but have to say we never had a bad experience with sushi 21. Staff is friendly, orders are more than sufficient and they had safe operations during the pandemic lockdowns. Servings are fantastic, price maybe a little high, and the location less than ideal being just off 2nd n Gaffey. Probably run out of a refurbished Taco Bell from tte 80s but they lived in the space well and made it their own. Cute signage, interior set up to take mostly takeaway orders, but safely again during high pandemic times. Recommendations: Yes: Hot Night Long shorette Baked salmon Salmon sashimi Michelle (no avo) Maybe: Spicy Yellowtail Spicy tuna salad Michelle no avo TNT Sexy NO: Gaffey Roll read more

We were staying at the motel next door and thought we'd give it a try. It was a pleasant surprise and definitely proves the adage "Don't judge a book by its cover." The inside decor isn't remarkable but the food and service are! We were greeted promptly and sat quickly. Service was efficient and friendly. We were well taken care of. The menu while busy was jam packed with lots of options and many standard favorites. The food was delicious and satisfying with good presentation.

Such a great experience here, first time. Our party of 7 came on a Sunday at 2pm. The dinning room was empty but the staff was busy with many pickup and online orders. With our big party and the staff seeming busy, I assumed we would have to wait a while for everyone's food to come out. This was not the case! They completed our large, diverse order very quickly. They have an extensive menu with many options to choose from. All you can eat sushi mon - Friday 3 rolls for $36 ish dollars Filling sushi combo plates And much much more. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. Especially the chicken teriyaki bowl! Sushi and sashimi was excellent. Sashimi with large pieces of fish. Even the miso was so savory and served steaming hot! The service was friendly and quick and the staff tended to us very well. Definitely stop by this sushi restaurant when visiting San Pedro. To the staff: Thank you all so much for a great lunch today! read more

My family has built a tradition of coming to this place whenever we have family gatherings. There is usually rarely anyone there when we come and the service is fast and responsive. Though they may struggle here and there, there is always effort put in. Their sushi has always been one of my family's favorites for a while. They take a while but it is worth the wait! The love boat is a good deal as you are getting pieces of sashimi and sushi rolls for the price of high end sushi rolls. This is a perfect place to bring a party and try out new and different foods! read more

I love the food at Sushi 21, & it sucks that the service is ALWAYS hit or miss...for the most part, it's a miss. Lastnight I went in, and once our food was served, they never checked on us. I had to get up and ask for another drink, because there was no way to wave them down. At this point, we were there for an hour. Once it was time to pay, all of a sudden the lady kept checking on us. Also, the older waitress alwayyys always checks to see how you tip, & if she's not satisfied, she will call you out. I'm surprised lastnight she didn't stop me walking out, because I was not happy with the service and definitely did not tip what I normally would. She did, however, stare us down as we walked out. So awkward! I'm officially done dining in at this place. read more

Quality was good, service at the bar was good, but $60 each for two "special" chirashi bowls is ridiculous! They made it a big deal to show us (twice) that they put "real gold" on the toro pieces... whoop-de-do! Their "special chirashi" is nothing out of the ordinary, and I don't give a shit about gold flakes on my fish, especially if it adds to the cost. Most places charge around $30 for the same thing.

Nonetheless, the boxes came beautifully wrapped and their is something to be said about the simplicity of their sushi. Each piece was tasty and I appreciate quality sushi rice too. The experience was authentically Japanese for sure. Prices are not cheap but also not outrageously expensive. I think if this place has been around 64 years they know what they are doing!

As a self-proclaimed sushi aficionado and someone who takes their rolls seriously, I'm always on the hunt for the perfect all-you-can-eat experience and Sushi 21 delivered in every category. From the moment we walked in, the service was sharp, the fish was fresh, and the pacing was impressively smooth for an AYCE spot. We each took down about 20 pieces, and not once did quality give way to quantity. The rice was properly seasoned, the cuts of fish generous, and the variety left nothing to be desired. Now let's talk about the star of the show: the Longshoreman Roll. This roll deserves its own standing ovation. Rich, balanced, and unexpectedly complex, it hit every note savory, creamy, a touch of heat, and a finish that made you go, "Yup, we're getting that again." If you visit and don't order the Longshoreman, you've missed the point entirely. Sushi 21 is the kind of place you keep in your back pocket but can't help bragging about. Whether you're a sushi purist or roll enthusiast, this spot respects both sides of the chopstick. It's a five-star experience through and through, highly recommended. read more

I came here not only to try the food, but to experience the mean asian lady many of the yelpers are talking about. It's true. She's IS mean. I think it has to do with her culture...not exactly sure. I ordered the crunchy roll (shrimp tempura, artificial crab meat and avacado) on their menu and kept on pronouncing the name wrong (accidentally). I was saying, "Crunchy Shrimp Roll". The mean old lady didn't like it at all. It was as if I was offending her everytime I mispronounced the name. I didn't take offense to it. I was pronouncing it wrong and I was expecting someone to go off on me. In the end, I was entertained. The crunchy roll was pretty good. It was better than I expected. I would come back again...but not on my own...only if someone within my group of friends request to eat there. I feel that there are better places around with better customer service and with more affordable prices. read more

This place gets some bad reviews lately, but honestly I couldn't find anything in my experience that was less than perfect. Our rolls were very fresh and actually pretty decent in size, the seaweed salad was very tasty, and sashimi pieces were picture perfect. The place wasn't very busy and had a homey feel. Everyone who worked there were super nice, greeted us with smiles, asked a few times if we needed anything else. I mean, what else would you want from a small neighborhood sushi place? Some fresh fish and a quick and friendly service. That's exactly what we got. Will be back! read more

Sushi 21 is an absolute gem. The fish is always fresh, with clean flavors and great texture--you can really taste the quality. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a quick bite or a laid-back meal, and the place feels clean and comfortable.

My wife and I had this again last night and it was even better than the first time. I love sushi…read moreand I go to a lot of sushi restaurants. But when I look back on my experiences with other restaurants, the best I can usually say was "that tasted fresh". Like a child "coloring by numbers", most Sushi restaurants produce the same standard rolls with the same standard techniques and tastes as everyone else. It's sushi. And it's fine. But it's not this place. Gushiya is a hidden gem. If you love traditional, high quality sushi, you owe it to yourself to visit this restaurant. It's here that I learned to love Hamachi Kama (grilled yellowtail collar). I've had it before at other restaurants and it just never impressed me. I'd think, "why am I getting cooked fish at a sushi restaurant." The first time I had it at Gushiya was similar to the first time I had a really great piece of fruit from a local farmers market. You think to yourself, "why am I not eating this more often". The way the char on the outside, the tenderness inside and the marinade soak into the fish is an experience you have to try. Order for yourself, not for the table. You won't want to share this one. Last night we also had Hokkaido scallops. It was one of the most delicious dishes I've ever consumed. And once again, Gushiya taught me to love a food I've eaten for years on a totally different level. I love scallops, but I don't love them most in their raw state due to their watery texture and bland taste. These scallops hit on a different level. The texture is buttery and they have a hint of sweetness. Their chef uses a light citrus flavor and together the whole combination just comes together as a perfect bite of food. One thing I don't eat. Octopus. I've never enjoyed it. I probably should have tried it last night because my wife practically cried over the Octopus appetizer, sliced thin in a citrus marinade. Better I don't eat it because she had it gone in minutes. Final verdict: Don't sleep on Gushiya. Bring yourself. Bring a date, bring a group. Take an uber. Have a little hot sake and draft beer and enjoy what is probably one of the best, low key Sushi experiences you'll ever have outside of Japan.
