    - food 10/10: the spicy garlic edamame is a must it has a Smokey taste to it like they put it on a grill. The nacho wontons also a great start. Good taste and right amount of spice. For the rolls I recommend the godfather, mango tango if you like a sweet touch to your roll. - depending on time of day it's Long Beach so parking can be tough but worth the hassle! - service is exceptional. Felt very welcoming and they are very attentive. - ambiance has a cool city vibe to it and the place and restrooms are clean.

    Youngster Chicken Bowl
    Cindy R.

    It's on the pricier end compared to where I usually go, but they are delicious and the fish is fresh! I've ordered from here twice now and have really enjoyed the flavors of the rolls; the first time I ordered the Awesome Roll along with a couple others that I don't quite remember at the moment, but I really loved the Awesome one. The kids Youngster Chicken Bowl is a good size as well. My kid really enjoyed the perfectly cooked rice and I thought it was delicious that the teriyaki chicken has bits of veggie mixed in as well. One of the rolls I ordered this time around (yesterday), the Punk roll was a no-rice roll, and it was absolutely delicious! I would order it again. Fresh pieces of fish wrapped in crab salad and rice paper. The sauces it comes topped with is supposedly spicy, but I thought it was perfect. It was a mix of chili oil, sesame oil, and mustard dressing. Let me tell you!! It was a flavor bomb. I also got an eel roll, I think it was the Black Dragon. Very delicious. I did not eat at the restaurant, so I cannot really speak on the service, but one of the staff there was kind to open the door and another inside made sure I got the utensils I needed. It does seem pretty small and in an area where parking is probably tough (I parked on the corner on red since I was just popping in and out), but I will try to make it a point to dine in sometime.

    Fried Calamari

    Sushi Mafia is one of my go-to sushi spots. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, and since I live close enough to walk, I order takeout pretty often. I'm happy to say it's just as good as dining in -- always prepared quickly, fresh, and packaged well. On my most recent visit I tried the fried calamari, which was excellent. It had a great crunch, wasn't chewy, and came with a really delicious sauce. For rolls, I usually stick with the California or spicy tuna, and they never disappoint. Reliable, fresh, and always satisfying.

    This is a fun casual spot to enjoy some sushi and good drinks with friends. The service is EXCELLENT here. They try to make you feel at home. I came on New Years and they gave everyone a free cup of champagne to celebrate. Everyone had festive new years hats. They were all great! They have a huge menu - if you can't find something you like, you might just be too hard to please. I had the Hello Kitty Hand roll. It's almost too beautiful to eat. But it was great! A wonderful mix of great fish. And no rice, so you really focus on the fish. I also had the LB Sun roll. Also a work of art! This also doesn't have any rice. My only complaint is it was actually harder to eat than I thought it would be since it doesn't have an actual wrap around it. But if you're into sauces, the sauce on this plate is great. My plate was clean by the end of this because I wanted that sauce on every bite. They also serve ramen and sashimi which I definitely want to come back to try. Parking can be rough here since it's downtown LBC. But I eventually found a spot. And it was worth it! Definitely support this great local team business, they're a fun team!

    This is officially my #1 sushi spot in LB. Freshest sushi & casual dine in. Can't beat the quality & classic roll prices. Updating my review again. We dined in on a Friday around 4pm, right before the dinner rush. Service was excellent and quick. Apps: Small salad for $3 was perfect to complement sushi. Mixed tempura with shrimp is always made to order. The batter and dip are so good. Half shell oysters have tangy ponzu. So delicious. Sushi: the classics are an unbelievable price for the quality. The fish is soft and melts in your mouth. Spicy albacore & salmon cut rolls are a must try. ANY of their fresh rolls with the mustard sauce or amazing sauce topping are FIRE. The Outlaw (baked) was so different than anything I'd ever had. It was more smoky with a barbecue flavor. Probably the Cajun seared tuna. As always, it was clean. Good for small groups (4-8 people) and parking is street. Thank you for a great meal!!!

    Garden salad
    Sue H.

    Stopped in for happy hour on a Sunday night in June and had a very good experience. We started with a squid salad, which was cold and tasted fresh, with big strips of squid. Husband is not a fan so he had a garden salad with a nice ginger dressing. Then out came our spicy garlic edamame, delightful! For entrees, I chose two $7 hand rolls, an eel hand roll (warm) and a salmon skin hand roll extra extra crispy like bacon. Both were prepared exactly as I ordered. I did wonder why the eel roll wasn't eel cucumber or eel avocado. But rice and eel was still good! Spouse had his usual spicy California roll and enjoyed it. Small hot sake $5 sign me up! He likes the Kirin Ichiban beer but not sake. Sometimes we can even order a bomber on sale and split it. Service and ambiance were good, nothing stands out either way in my memory. I do recommend!

    Girls lunch date last Friday! First visit to Sushi Mafia and it did not disappoint! The baked mussels were absolutely superb easily the standout of the night. From the moment we walked in, the service and ambiance set a great tone for the experience. Everything felt welcoming, smooth, and well put together. The sushi rolls were just as impressive fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. But let's be real... did I mention the mussels? Perfectly seasoned, baked to perfection, and unforgettable--definitely something I'd come back for again and again without hesitation.

    Spicy tuna roll
    Norma S.

    Came here on a Saturday around 6pm. Ordered though and online pick up app. Once arrived food was ready quickly and staff was quick. Place had plenty of seating. But took my order to go. Ordered the spicy salmon roll. Salmon was fresh and good bite size but not spicy. Also ordered the spicy crunchy tuna roll it was spicy but the side sauce was not good. Wish it was eel sauce instead. The miso soup came hot and was good. All in all service quick and good and price was reasonable. Good for a one time try.

    8 Piece Spicy Yellowtail Traditional Roll|Godfather Tempura Roll
    Jacob C.

    Delicious rolls and I ordered Tonkotsu Ramen, which was good. The Spicy Yellowtail and Godfather rolls were excellent choices! The prices were also decent.

    The Red Crunchy Roll at Sushi Mafia
    Mitsuno B.

    We tried Sushi Mafia for the first time and loved it! The pork gyoza and the tempura were hot and crispy, and the sushi rolls were excellent! Very fresh and beautifully presented. We appreciated the friendly service, great sushi, and will definitely be back next time we come to Long Beach.

    Sushi & Sashimi Combo
    Amy J.

    I wanted to give this place 4 stars at first. Mainly bc the cuts weren't as thick as places like teburu in north Long Beach. But... every piece of fish was solid. Beer came out in a chilled glass. And the service was a solid 10 stars if I could give this place a 10. This isn't a bougie place but it def hits the spot just right. We came here on Valentine's Day and they brought out little shot classes worth of champagne for every table. Again, I can't say enough about the service. Everyone that was out was able to take your order and help. Glad we stopped by!

    Little birthday ice cream surprise
    Bethany H.

    First off the food is amazing. For the price, you genuinely can't beat the quality they provide. Everything I had from cut rolls, hand rolls, to nigiri was spectacular (and I've had sushi in Japan). Menu has a ton of amazing options as well if you're vegan, vegetarian or have dietary restrictions. Not to mention they do take-out. This restaurant itself is so cute, very simple besides some wall decor and wall paintings which I love, not the quietest, but I adore a good bustling sushi joint any day of the week. And the service is amazing. Attentive, courteous and kind without being overbearing. My girlfriend had been raving about this place since we started dating so I took her for her birthday. Told them in advance on Yelp when I made a reservation and they handled it all with such kindness and grace. They gave her a birthday ice cream, candle and all. But it didn't end there, they walked up and handed her a Sushi Mafia bag as a present as well!! All around one of the most memorable sushi experiences I've had. You have a new regular

    The sushi is kids at best. Long waiting times. Poor service. For a top rated spot I would expect more professionalism and execution.

    This tiny ramen shop was such a wonderful experience. I tried it for the first time today and was…read moresurprised by how close together every thing was in the dining area. I felt welcomed by the cool tones of the interior design and layout actually. We waited by the door as a party of two. Not too long after we entered were we greeted by the hosted and seated outdoors, as we requested. Even though it is on fourth street which has plenty of street traffic, it was still a quiet, comfortable dining experience. Every thing on the menu looked and sounded amazing but I planned to try the ramen because I've been craving a good bowl of ramen for a while. I landed on the shoyu ramen with tofu. I really enjoyed the taste of the broth. The flavor and seasoning was soul-healing. I don't usually go with plain chicken broth in ramen but I felt confident in my choice. I was literally happy dancing with each bite. The ramen was so good! My partner went with a spicy order of tonkotsu ramen with chicken, garlic, and black oil sauce. I tried parts of it and it was also delicious! I wanted to try the sushi but did not have that big of an appetite for both sushi and ramen so I opted for the salmon poke tacos. They tasted very savory and the salmon was flavored really well. The temperature and consistency was not too overwhelming for the tacos shell. The service was attentive and not too invasive. We took the check to the counter to pay. I am excited for our next trip here. It is dangerously walking distance for us! PS they have a sign that says they are hiring a dishwasher for Saturday and Sunday!

We came in specifically to order two coco cloud matchas and requested extra matcha cloud. The cashier/server explicitly agreed to our request. However, when he handed us the drinks, I was in total dismay-the matcha cloud wasn't even at a normal level, let alone extra. It was literally just a splash, leaving us with mostly coconut water. When I politely pointed this out, the employee told me to "just mix it and it'll taste good." When I said I wanted what I paid for and asked for more matcha, he shrugged it off and said they were running out and couldn't do anything. Customer service goes a long way. He could have easily offered a partial refund, explained the shortage before taking our order, or made more. Instead, I paid for a specialty drink that tasted like plain coconut water. Disappointing experience for a place I usually enjoy. It's truly bothering me that if they were running out of ingredients, they should have told us beforehand rather than charging us for a specialty drink and giving us a watered-down version with zero accountability. Very disappointing customer service today.
