Food is always good.. I love the ramen broth options and sushi options. There's a cute and relaxing little patio ambience. Parking is plentiful, I never have issues looking for a place to park. I took one star off only because when it's hot out, sometimes the air circulation is bothersome. I don't think they run ac.. just fans. Also, the booths are cracked so when I'm wearing shorts it doesn't feel comfortable on my thighs.

Billy and I ended up at Oho Sushi Studio almost by accident after bailing on another dinner plan in…read moreCerritos, and honestly, I'm glad it happened because this place has officially entered our regular rotation. What's funny is that we've both lived around Long Beach forever and somehow never fully connected with Oho despite hearing good things about it for years. We had randomly stopped in one afternoon recently thinking we'd just split a roll and head home, but the food ended up being so good that we kept ordering "one more thing" until we accidentally skipped dinner entirely later that night. That experience was good enough that when we found ourselves trying to figure out dinner again yesterday, Oho immediately came back into the conversation. We got there early evening and the timing was perfect. Busy enough to feel lively and like you were out for the night, but not so packed that service slowed down or the room became chaotic. The pacing of the meal was honestly one of the best parts. Dishes came out steadily without crowding the table, and everything felt very natural and relaxed. The tuna crispy rice was fantastic and a little different from the usual presentation. Perfect crisp on the outside, almost caramelized, with really airy spicy tuna on top that reminded me more of a tartare texture than the heavier versions you sometimes get elsewhere. We also had bluefin tuna, toro, salmon sashimi, a spicy scallop roll, and the Extreme Crunch Roll with light eel sauce, which ended up being surprisingly balanced and not over-the-top despite the name. Even the iced green tea stood out. Bright green, almost cloudy, super refreshing, and honestly exactly what I wanted with sushi. Service was excellent both visits. It felt very team-oriented behind the sushi bar and on the floor, which kept everything moving smoothly without feeling rushed. A couple practical notes: parking is easy overall, but the lot is shared with the motel, so just be mindful where you park and try to stay closer toward the restaurant side of the lot. Also, this feels much better suited for couples or small groups than large parties. Four people would be ideal. Six is probably pushing it unless the restaurant is unusually quiet. Really happy we gave this place another shot because it ended up being one of the more satisfying sushi dinners we've had in a while.

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 went with the teriyaki beef ($2 up charge), mixed tempura (one shrimp and mixed veggies), and spicy tuna roll. Deb went with the chicken teri, mixed tempura, and salmon roll. The bento box comes with miso soup, and green salad with a ginger miso dressing. We both enjoyed our bento box. However my teri beef was tough. I probably should've sent it back and got the chicken instead. We loved the mixed tempura. It was crisp and not too greasy. I also liked my spicy tuna roll. Service was friendly and attentive.

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.

They have a parking lot, which is a plus for this area because street parking is challenging. I ordered the Negi Toro Hand roll, Spicy Scallop Roll, and TNT Roll. The hand roll was elegant, fresh, and delicious. I loved the seaweed. The Spicy Scallop was my favorite because of the quality ingredients and value. It was definitely spicy. The TNT Roll was amazing, but I had to remove the Jalapeño due to it kicking my ass. I'll definitely return because I had an exciting experience.

The sashimi pieces are big, cold, and always fresh. I always order spicy edamame, gyoza, salmon sashimi, yellowtail sashimi, and miso soup. It's so delicious I crave it on a weekly basis. Come here! You won't regret it. The owner is often behind the sushi bar completing orders and is very kind and caring. The food is mouthwatering, the presentation is impeccable, and the price keeps me coming back!

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 :)

I opted for the Wagyu lunch menu along with a few sushi rolls. The food was good, but as a huge Korean BBQ fan, I'd say the BBQ itself was just average. For the price, I probably would've rather spent the money on the all-you-can-eat option at one of my favorite spots. It just didn't quite satisfy that Korean BBQ craving. The sushi, on the other hand, was the standout. The rolls were fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. I'd definitely order those again. I also came during happy hour and was a little surprised they don't offer a happy hour menu, that would've been a nice touch. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and has a great date-night vibe. The service was another highlight. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, I'd come back for the sushi, but probably skip the BBQ next time.

But I had heard so many great things about HiroNori that I wanted to try it anyways. My brother especially kept hyping them up, and he LOVES ramen. And I'm glad I decided to try them out! While HiroNori is a SoCal chain, it still feels like a mom and pop restaurant. The crispy rice with tuna was EXCELLENT! Everything you want from crispy rice and spicy tuna. The tonkatsu was delicious! Great depth of flavor. They bring you garlic and spicy paste on the side. I had to add A LOT of spicy paste to get it up to the level I wanted, but while at other restaurants I've lost the broth flavor when adding too much spice, the spicy paste just enhanced the tonkatsu broth. And the pork in the tonkatsu - truly next level. This is probably the best pork I've ever had in a ramen dish. The noodles were also fantastic with the perfect amount of bite. I loved my jammy egg as well. The restaurant itself is smaller, with fun lighting. There is a parking lot which is great. They do not have tipping, instead they have a service charge of a little over 17%. Definitely worth it!

I'm a sukiyaki broth lover, so it's somewhat similar to that taste profile. I like how they also provide garlic and house spicy sauce as it just makes the ramen even better and seals the deal. The crispy rice with spicy tuna is perfection-- you get the bottom bed of crisp with fresh avocados, spicy tuna, and a kick of jalapeño. They also provide watermelon infused water, which was perfect for a warm day out. Although this restaurant is quite small, service was fast and very accommodating. I have been here several times and service plus quality of the food never changes! Seats here don't have any back support but it adds to the modern aesthetic and vibe of the restaurant. I've been eyeing the cucumber crab salad, so I look forward to coming back and trying it next time.
