    Agedashi Tofu - unique with fried onion, chili radish and light dashi
    Lynn O.

    Sushi Beluga is easily my favorite sushi bar in DTLB. Named after beluga caviar, they carry a variety of fresh fish that you won't find at basic sushi spots. Their shipments usually come in on Wednesdays and Saturdays so you'll get the best pickings on those days. I typically come in on Sunday evenings and have been lucky to get some live amaebi (sweet shrimp), fresh sea bream, halibut with truffle and caviar, yellowtail belly, shima Aji (striped jack) and toro (really fatty tuna). They're also known for their seared Aburi Miso Cod, which melts in your mouth with umami flavors. They also carry uni, giant clam and ankimo but sell out fast. Everything I've tasted has been incredibly fresh and satisfying. From the kitchen, I really like the al dente edamame with added spicy garlic crunch, their take on Agedashi tofu with spicy red radish and fried onion, baked green mussels and seafood tempura. The agedashi tofu and tempura were executed well, crispy and love the added shiso leaf and umeboshi paste to add flavor to the fish tempura. The sushi chef, Kay, and staff are so attentive and nice. Everything came out quickly and empty plates were cleared promptly too. The sushi bar seats about 8 people (my preference) while there are about 6 small tables. Metered street parking can be tough in this area. Kay said the original Manhattan Beach location is better in terms of space and recognition. I will try to keep Sushi Beluga here with my support!

    Still one of my top favorite sushispots. I drive down from Koreatown just to eat here! It's THAT good! Every roll just has their unique flavor and you can taste the quality in each bite~ Today I ordered the Cajun Tuna Aburi Roll. 10/10. I ate that roll so fast! I had to stop myself after the fourth piece to remind myself to slow down, enjoy and savor it! The sauce is almost like a spicy mayo, lighter and flavorful, not too spicy at all. I also ordered the Sauteed Snow Crab Basil Garlic Roll. Personally 10/10, if you love snow crab. The gobo adds a refreshing crunch in each bite. Last but not least, the Aburi Engawa and Aburi Miso Salmon. The engawa today was a little on the tougher side than I remember, but it was still delicious! Might have needed some extra searing to soften it more. Regardless still a 10/10 ! And you guessed it, 10/10 for aburi miso salmon. Sushi Beluga really has THE best miso sauce. No place compares! The service was swift & attentive. The server and chef checked to make sure I was doing alright. If I had more room in my stomach I would have ordered more!! Ambiance: I came in around 3pm (Thursday) and it was pretty quiet in there. Granted I was the only one in! I got to enjoy sitting at the bar which made it easier to order with the chef. Highly recommend this place! Parking is tough, but its definitely worth finding it where you can and taking a nice stroll to grab food here and then go to the beach.

    Super yummy option near the beach! Food Ordered Baked Green Mussels: delicious and creamy. I loved the flavor profile. This was recommended by the staff. I would order again. Salmon Lemon Roll: The salmon was fresh and the roll well balanced. The ginger sauce was enjoyable and not too heavy. Shima Aji and Seabream: These were recommended by the sushi chef and they were very good cuts of fish. Both were fresh and had a good firm texture. Service: Staff was very friendly and made great suggestions based on my preferences! Ambiance: Cute little small spot with plenty of daylight from the windows: There's a sushi bar section in addition to the tables. Overall: I would eat here again!

    Great local sushi spot. Clean modern cozy inside. Their sushi is delicious . Everything melts in your mouth and the flavors are unbelievable. The service is friendly and prompt. No complaints here! Sushi beluga is a gem!

    What an under rated sushi spot. It was sooo good. The service was fast and the server was super nice and attentive. The restroom were clean. The nigiri rolls were like buttery they were so good and fresh ! The baked mussels were out of this world so different than I've ever tried in any location. Usually every baked mussels taste the same, but this one had avocados in it I believe. Just so different and so delicious. Overall, a great place ! I went here twice in a span of three days. So I'm definitely a fan !

    Food: A-. I think this food is the best sushi spot I've been in in the LBC over the place that requires reservations or the Sushi Mafia (which we do like for quick sushi). Here you have really good sushi without the "do you have reservation?" Service: C. Short-staffed in my fiancé's opinion however I beg to differ. There's only three other parties in here so no need for a ton of staff. The sushi maker is attentive, more so the problem is they don't have two of the items on the menu we ask for which makes you wonder how many other items they don't have: black cod and Sapporo on tap - Nadda. Ambiance: B. Right in the center of the city so location-location-location. Inside, you can walk right in to the sushi bar which we like. The place is lit beautifully with plenty of artificial botanicals which still gives you that healthy feel. Music is popular pop - really nice for a Wednesday night.

    Sushi Beluga is is a very cozy spot in Downtown Long Beach and one of the best in the area. They really focus first on the quality and freshness of the fish, and the preparation shows it. They have two sushi chefs, Kay and Jeff who are both great and kind. If you have kids be sure to ask for any roll with a "Kids Cut"; which is cut in half width-wise for smaller bites, while maintaining the same ingredient ratios, plus they get more pieces! Kay knows us so well that he will have a California Roll with Soy Paper kids cut for my son right after we walk in. My favorite item is the live scallop which is usually only available on weekends. An order comes with both a scallop sashimi and a dynamite (mayo sauce) style. They have a large selection of different tempuras that you can order two pieces at a time and are made fresh to order. The tempura batter is light, delicate, and always crispy, and the tempura sauce is a flavorful clear broth that's served hot, something I've never seen anywhere else. They also have a rotating daily selection which features their freshest catches of the day like Sea Bream, Uni, and other higher end stuff. They also have many appetizers and the usual cooked items like teriyaki chicken and steak. I would recommend this place to anyone who really appreciates fresh fish that's artfully prepared. Parking is a little difficult as they don't have their own lot and you have to find street parking. If you see Kay, be sure to tell him Paul sent you!

    Best sushi in Long Beach from their miso soup to their crispy tuna, aburi miso cod, yuzu roll I mean literally anything I've had here has been exquisite one of the freshest fish I've had in any sushi restaurant don't forget to order their black snapper whether it be sashimi or sushi you can't go wrong and if you're looking for a great deal go for their assorted sushi or assorted sashimi plates which come with a nice and filling combo as well as ordering "choose 2 or 3 items option". Staff is the best in the business very friendly always with a smile on their face and always open for a nice little chat. Love this place !

    Jose H.

    super friendly staff and a great deal. we both got one of the combos, 8 pieces of nigiri that were good sized and a small cut roll. They took over the space from the old poki cat, which i miss. the green wall remains.

    Amazing service, very quick. A great place for lunch on a work day. Loved the Yuzu Roll and shishito peppers. Finished off with a Miso Soup. *chefs kiss*

    I was suprised that this sushi place was right next to the new condos on the corner of Ocean and Alamitos. I am glad I found it. You will need to find street parking, mostly off Ocean. They have nice vibrant decor inside and is very clean place. I do feel a Japanese atmosphere in here, and I always like to be transported somewhere during my meals. The waiters greet you promptly and you can pick where you want to sit. They have an extensive menu. The have different kinds of tempura like shrimp, vegetables, and my favorite is white fish with basil tempura. the white fish is a very delicate flavor, and I never had it before until this place. They also have miso soups. The sushi is diverse and there is something there to satisfy your cravings. Always with a side of wasabi and pickled ginger. The platings are always well decorated with sauces. They also serve Sapporo and hot sake which I love to have with my sushi. I usually ask for waters and they bring with ice and a smile. The prices are really good for the excellent quality of food. The service is great. The sushi and the environment really makes me happy when I visit. Worth checking out and putting on your list of places to visit.

    I've been saying that there is no great quality sushi in DT Long Beach for years now and I can finally no longer claim it. Sushi Beluga's produce quality and sushi cuts are what one would expect when eating in Japan. They have an extensive menu selection -- I've tried variety of their appetizers, rolls, hand rolls, sashimi, all great!. Many items come the traditional miso soup and ginger dressing salad. I'm partial to their nigiri, and my favorite is the Omakase option, entrusting the Chef to create the selection. The staff is exceptional, always very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The place is very cozy, with corner-shaped sushi bar and tables both inside and outside. It's just far enough from Ocean Blvd that you don't get all the street noise when seated outside and the patio is dog friendly. This is the most underrated restaurant in DTLBC, highly recommend!!!

    The #802 for 3 people :)
    Steph H.

    STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good sushi and service in a casual, comfortable environment. A friend suggested this place for dinner since it was within walking distance from her hotel. I hadn't been here since it changed over from Poke Cat, but it looked nice enough. It was surprisingly not too crowded on a Saturday evening, and our party of three was able to get seated right away. We decided to share the #802, which is a party platter for 3 people--$145, as of this writing. You get nigiri tuna, salmon, white fish, albacore, aburi salmon, yellowtail, shrimp, Uni, spicy tuna, salmon roe, rainbow roll, and SPA roll. It's a great deal--turned out to be a lot of food. The fish was nice and fresh, even the Uni, but the rice was a bit too cool and hard. We also got a large beer and hot tea. Service was friendly and prompt, and we had a very nice time. Probably the nicest sushi place I've been to in the downtown area.

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.

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.

There's plenty of parking which is shared by Target and other smaller stores in the same lot.

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!

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.

    Overall: 3.5 Food: 4…read moreValue: 3 Service: 4 Parking: 3 Ambiance: 4.5 I am very happy to have tried this place, but it's going to be a special occasions place for me, when I am willing to deal with slower service (more later). It seems that they are combining the best of a lot of popular restaurants (like hand rolls, brick toast, $49 AYCE with mimosas on weekends, cucumber salad, miso cod, etc). I was also pleasantly surprised that it was in the LBX Hangar, which makes it a great place to go while hanging out with friends. The ambiance is more upscale, with high ceilings and an open kitchen concept. Could see it being a nice place for business meals. Got the summer roll which was surprisingly good! Fish was fresh and the mango was soft and sweet! The dragonfruit lemonade was extremely sweet, and that's coming from a big sweet tooth. Wanted to try more things but I was already spending around $30 on a roll + a drink for lunch and didn't feel like forking over $50 for lunch. Unfortunately, the slow service put a damper on my experience. I went at the tail end of lunch on a random Tues and there were only about 3 or 4 tables at that time. I waited at my table for 20mins before my waiter came around, which made me feel some kind of way when, later, 2 other parties were seated and acknowledged within 5 mins. It took another 20mins for 1 roll to come out (the other 2 tables behind me literally just got the menu and the remaining tables were in the middle of paying/leaving so I was the only one who was waiting on food). If service is this slow during a weekday at the end of lunch time, then I can only imagine how slow it will be during rush hour or weekends, not to mention during their AYCE rush hour. Parking can also be a bit of a challenge. As I said, I came at the end of lunch so although the spots were full, many patrons were returning to their car and it was less than a 1min wait for a spot. However, the spots are a little small compared to the large SUVs and vans parked there. So if coming at a popular time, be prepared to park far or feel like you're able to scrape the SUVs parked next to you. TLDR: Would try again for happy hour or maybe if entertaining any out of town guests.

    SOOO AMAZING i'm already obsessed with this restaurant. i was VERY pleased with my dining…read moreexperience at osaka story :3 i need to come back asap -- it was that freaking good. i think i stumbled upon this place through a recommendation from yelp so shoutout to yelp i love u yelp. absolutely exceeded my expectations! the menu is HUGE, like several pages long, so you're bound to find something you'll like ~ not to mention, the service was excellent! very attentive and friendly servers! the interior is also soo cute at night + there's an outdoor dining area. we ordered the mango tango, black mamba, and orange bikini roll. they were all so good, but i think the black mamba was my fav. it was a tinge lighter than the other rolls with a dash of citrus that i really enjoyed! (i think from the ponzu, i LOVE PONZU)! every bite was BURSTING WITH FLAVOR :') incredible combinations. chef's kiss. parking is on the street, so it CAN be tricky to find a spot... but the area is lovely to walk through, especially at night! we were told the meters aren't active after 7pm and parked in a 25 minute loading zone spot with no problems at all.

    It was supposed to be one of those really hot out of the ordinary March days when we came here, but…read moreon this particular evening as soon as I drove over the bridges, I saw this huge cloud over the Long Beach area. I did not come prepared for a chilly night. We were supposed to just have coffee and go for a walk, but we needed a warm place, so we stumbled upon this place. It's actually pretty good. We sat at the counter/bar. The servers were nice. What we got: Salmon/tuna poke bowl: quite yummy. A mixture of both salmon and tuna in a great poke sauce over a bed of rice and salad. Salmon skin salad: if you like salmon skin, this is yummy. A perfect crunch seasoned really well to complement the bed of greens. Furikake fries: thinly cut potato's with furikake seasoning paired with a sweet mustard dipping sauce. I would have enjoyed more Furikake on the fries, but that's just me. This place has real wasabi if you ask for it instead of the watered down stuff you usually get. It's actually pretty good! Overall great food and great service. I'd come back for sure!
