food was amazing my first time there we went to happy hour. My girlfriend took me there. The place is beautiful. The food was amazing especially the presentation and Pierre was our server. You should definitely ask for him. He was worth it. 100% and the manager was really nice. I had to tell her about Pierre and how amazing he was overall, the experience was amazing and I definitely will be back there. I give you guys a 10 star 100%. read more

I had an incredible dining experience at this sushi restaurant. The food was absolutely outstanding -- every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, the shishito peppers had just the right amount of heat, and the sushi itself was top-tier. The drinks were just as impressive. The mezcal sour was one of the best I've ever had, the dirty martini was perfectly balanced, and the fuke kumquat sashimi was unique and delicious. A special shoutout to Nick, our waiter, who provided exceptional service. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations that elevated the entire experience. read more

There are a LOT of sushi places to pick from in this area of the South Bay. Sushi Roku has a great ambiance & decor. Super friendly service. Great selection of drinks. The food is REALLY good, high quality, and fresh. The issue is the menu is limited, overpriced, and really doesnt compete with other sushi places. They do not have a wide variety of rolls. The experience is great, but you are paying $100+ for really $60. If you go here, you are paying the "Vibe or Cool" tax, which means you pay extra to say you went here. read more

visited sushi roku friday evening for HH to celebrate my birthday early with one of my closest friends we were there for HH so we had to sit at the bar (m-f 04:30-06pm) we ordered a bunch of plates to share: Brussels Sprout Chips Japanese Fried Chicken California Rolls Popcorn Shrimp w/asparagus Rolls HANABI (spicy tuna) Baked Crab Hand Roll Katana Signature Roll everything was really good. i absolutely loved the brussels spouts chips and the popcorn shrimp w/asparagus rolls service was okay. the bartender didnt give any recommendations or ask if we have dined there before or any small talk.. sushi roku doesnt do anything special or extra for any type of celebrations (birthday , anniversary etc) they do have a pretty spacious patio with heaters parking: located at the manhattan village next to BOA. surface lots and parking garage read more

We had a good time here for my daughter's birthday. The hostess, manager and other employees were very nice and went above and beyond to make the night memorable. I know this sounds cliche, but it is true. It was very crowded and it must have been challenging for them. Nevertheless, everything still worked out well. The teriyaki chicken was amazing, as were the rolls and robata sea bass and bacon shrimp. Can't forget the amazing the lava cake dessert too. Treat yourself! read more

server forgot one of our sushi set, casually apologized and brought another set after we waited 10minutes. when she brought us the another set of sushi she told us to pay by QR code, which we found out it adds fee to use the app. which was not mentioned, and was not offered another form of payment. then app calculate the tip on top of tax and fees and not to the food and drinks. seems very shady and unpleasant. read more

We got seated and waited 30+ minutes no one came to serve us. Not a busy Friday night, sat at the patio outside . We were really looking forward to dinner there unfortunately we won't be coming back. read more

PARKING: The tiny lot directly by the restaurant is VALET ONLY. There is also a parking structure with tons of FREE PARKING just a short walk across the way. AMBIANCE: It's a tiny restaurant space that looks like it shares a bathroom with the adjoining restaurant called BOA Steakhouse. I feel like they split this building in two parts because it's pretty small for both sides. Cozy! SERVICE: We made a resy and were seated immediately during the weekday. Our waitress was attentive and very nice the entire time. We loved her service & recommendations when we couldn't decide between a few items. FOOD: **I don't usually like sushi rolls because they are made too big for me to eat & they just fill me up with rice, but I LOVE the sushi rolls here because they are smaller in size and all made with fantastic flavors** 50% OFF SAKE BOTTLES ON WEDNESDAY! $24 FLUKE KUMQUAT: appetizer carpaccio. THIS WAS AMAZING! Trust me and just order it. JUST WOW! $8 GARLIC EDAMAME: they let us choose which topping we wanted on our edamame. Crispy garlic was delish, but I might try something else next time! $13 SPICY SCALLOP ROLL: this was our FAVORITE ROLL of the 3 we ordered! The flavors were just the best and the texture of raw scallops are Devine! $22 KATANA ROLL: this roll was lovely. Our 2nd fav or the 3 rolls we ordered! Great amount of fish, great flavor, and a crunchy shrimp inside. $22 GENSAI ROLL: least favorite of the 3 rolls we ordered, but I did love the rice cracker crunchy balls on top! Still yummy, just would try a different one next time. OVERALL: Love this place! Will always come back. read more

I mentioned to the hostess that we were celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary and from that point on we were made to feel so incredibly special. The manager (Michelle) greeted us personally and checked in on us throughout the night. From the dishes made for us to the on-menu items, this was one of the most amazing anniversary dinners we've ever had. Our server (Pierce) was attentive without being intrusive. Actually all of the staff were so welcoming and multiple staff members stopped by our table to give us "happy anniversary" well-wishes. The appetizers, the main dishes, desserts, and drinks were all OUTSTANDING! Rarely does a restaurant do all of those so well. We especially loved the Fluke sashimi, Chef's choice entree, and the bacon wrapped shrimp. Thank you, Sushi Roku-Manhattan staff for making us feel so special on our 21st anniversary. We can't wait to visit again read more

We went for my husband's birthday and were definitely impressed! Menu - mostly sushi, but a few other non-sushi items available as well (chicken, etc.). The quality of the sushi was excellent. Portions are average sized. There weren't quite as many 'unique' rolls as my all-time favorite sushi place (The Venue in Palm Desert, CA) but the sushi and sashimi made up for it. The sea bass skewers would've been the highlight if they hadn't been just a bit too salty. Overall, I don't think you're going to find much to complain about with the sushi here. They offer a myriad of interesting cocktails and sakes. We had the sake and it was great. There are also a few beers as you would expect (Asahi, etc.) and a short wine list, but with a nice selection. Ambiance - casual, but upscale. The restaurant is small, but nicely decorated-- simple and elegant. Low light. Nice for a date night or special occasion. Most of the seating is indoors (booths and tables) but there's also a small patio if you prefer to eat outside. Parking - there is valet parking, but also free parking in the mall structure just across the street. Service - excellent. Our server (Zach) was really attentive and friendly. So was the manager, who checked on us twice and brought my husband a dessert for his birthday even though we were full and told Zach we didn't need to look a the dessert menu. Every staff member we interacted with there was top notch. Prices - a little more expensive than other sushi restaurants of the same caliber. For example, the two sea bass skewers pictured were $24 and they were about three bites each. read more

Update! I had a new and even worse experience. I will officially never be patronizing this restaurant again. I ordered the signature tuna box for pickup and when I returned to my office I realized they gave me the sushi box instead. Not only was my order incorrect but everything is soggy and nasty looking. I picked my order up 10 mins prior to the pickup time THEY gave me and it seems to have been sitting g out for a while. I called the restaurant and the hostess told me the manager would call me back in 15 minutes because she had no ability to problem solve this. So now I'm here 40 minutes later without a returned phone call and a $40 inedible meal!! Thanks a lot guys! read more

Food and service was great, only reason the 4 stars is the pricing... i get that it's in Manhattan beach and catering for its audience but it's pretty steep. Great lunch nonetheless. read more

I really like this place, BUT ... over the last few visits I've noticed their portions have REALLY taken a hit. I probably go here at least two times a month, sometimes as much as five or six... The food is still excellent, but it is pretty close to half the portion size that I used to get. I'm not a big eater, so when I get four pieces of sushi, a cucumber salad, and a glass of wine... I'm happy to pay $60 for it plus at least 20% tip, but to see the portion sizes shrink like this, makes me feel like It's getting a little ridiculous. I did bring it up to a manager, and she was super kind, and made me a whole other order of nigiri, but that's not what I wanted, I just wanted to let them know that it will motivate less loyalty. After that visit, I had kind of hoped that the sizes would've been a little bit more robust like they used to be, but alas, they weren't. What really did it to me was how you can see on the salmon eggs used to go over the top of the nori... But now they sit below it. The staff is very friendly, and the service is better than many of the restaurants in the area. But because of this portion size and the cost, I'm going to start trying other places, instead of just continuing to be loyal to it. read more

We took our family for the first time to sushi Roku and decided to try out this establishment. Let me start by saying the hostess in the red shirt short had a tube top on Christmas Eve. She was so rude every time I spoke to her she talked down to me and she scolded me for being late. They never refilled our drinks and they forgot items. Also, the sushi was unexpectedly not very good. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Great atmosphere, amazing service, delicious food. My mom and I went for dinner the other night and had the best time. I've been to the Santa Monica Sushi Roku, but this one was a lot better in terms of ambiance and service. *Pro tip - come for happy hour! The prices are really good and you get a good discount!! Pros/Highlights: - Clean and comfortable atmosphere - Inside and outside dining (outside was really nice) - Delicious food. Good balance between rice and sashimi for the nigiri sushi - BIG shoutout to the waiters!! Amazing service, super friendly, and overall a lovely experience with them! - Fresh fish, and no fishy, cheap smell - Lots of parking nearby - Prices are fair for quality (esp if you go for happy hour!) - Perfect place for date night, girls night, a *small* get together - Reservations available! Cons - Not many options. The menu is pretty small, but if you're coming just for sushi, then it's more than enough! - Servers came by a little too much in my opinion. It felt just a tad bit rushed, but still, the service overall was great and much appreciated. - Not suitable for a large party I had a great experience at Sushi Roku and glad that I tried this new location in Manhattan Beach. I definitely recommend you try a special roll and some of the nigiris (my favorite was the salmon!). Again, I want to give a big shoutout to the waiters, because a big part of a good dining experience is the service, and the 2 guys that served my mom and I were incredible in so many ways (friendly, nice, sanitary (wore masks), attentive) read more

I had a great experience here. The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the customer service really stood out--especially from Bella. She suggested the Hamachi Serrano, and it ended up being the best thing we ordered. Such a great recommendation. Everything came out quickly and the staff was super attentive. I'd definitely come back! read more

Don't spend your money here This place was so underwhelming. Me and my wife came here for our anniversary and I wish we went elsewhere. Valet was $15, even the Valet guy said the food wasn't good lol We got the Brussel Sprout chips which were alright but you get so little. For $13 we expected a bit more We ordered a lamb screwer which is $9. We were expecting a skewer of pieces but no, it was a small piece of lamb that was undercooked and mid. Lastly the rolls. Very underwhelming - no flavor at all and truthfully just disappointing. By the end of the meal we were still hungry and cut our losses and went to In n out because of how disappointing this restaurant was Save your money go to FOGO, Dans Chinese, or Flemmings. This restaurant is not it. read more

Friday night. Birthday (not mine). First tip: make reservations Hadn't been to this mall since before Covid. Lots of changes. Structures. Restaurants. So, as parking goes - go for their valet or take your chance in the structure. Or be like me and park over Sidecar Donuts and walk over. Arrived on my time. Well, even earlier than usual. Asked to sit at the bar and wait for my party. So glad I did. Met and spoke with the staff and was able to watch the Sushi dishes being prepped. Most importantly, had some nice pours of Japanese Whiskey. See pics. Crossed off the Yamazaki 18 that I've had a time finding. Will say that I really enjoyed a pour of that $1000 bottle. The two other cocktails I had were also pretty good. Balanced. Service was great. Even with how busy it was (Friday night), the staff took care of our party of five as well as my little pre-game at the bar. They were friendly and attentive as possible. When our server was busy, the other staff stepped right in, including the hostess and one of the managers. Good to see teamwork from all levels. And there was the food. Remember - party of five. I could have eaten everything myself. Not just because it was delicious AF, but the portion sizes are the norm for the cuisine. Either order more, drink more or get more elsewhere. I had chosen to pre-game so I was already happy. The food left me fat ... but I could have eaten more. Because it was delicious AF. I know I'll be back here. More to try on the menu. And maybe there'll be other pours to cross off my list to try. read more

Definitely NOT a price performer. Great atmosphere, nice cocktails. But the portions served here are basically nothing more than tiny horderves. After dropping some serious cash in this place I had to hit Jersey Mike's on the way home for a de ent meal. read more

Super expensive but super exquisite. Had their Katana ($24) and White Lotus ($26) "top two rolls" (according to the person who took my take out order). Then I asked about what veggies they had too. That is when their Cauliflower ($15), with red dates and pine nuts, were highly recommenced so I got that The rolls were a bit of a disappointment. The fish on the outside of both rolls seemed to fall off when picked up. The White Lotus albacore on the outside was firm but also incredibly bland. Guess they were counting on the wasabi truffle sauce which I did not use with every piece to provide that wow, which I missed. But the Cauliflower was indeed out of this world. Perfectly cooked with amazing flavor. If I just got this dish, I think I would have been super happy. Logistics details: They also do indeed only have valet parking, but I was able to park in front of the restaurant to pick up my take out order. I also mistakenly went into the restaurant next to it. So looking at the restaurant, go in the doors in the left. I don't remember the name of the restaurant in the right (it was a short one syllable name), but I may have to check out that one the next time I am there. It seems the same company owns both since the employee in the right side of the restaurant walked me to the other side and got me my food. read more

$70 wasted. My husband did not want to come here but I talked him into it, then I had egg on my face because his California rolls were bland and so were my rolls. He was right. *palm to face The restaurant itself is fine. Service was meh. Not rude. Not warm or engaging, and we came here on a weekday afternoon. There was only one other couple there, so there was no reason for them not to be nicer. I think I had the White Lotus drink and that was the only good part. Food came out quickly, but I wished they would have taken it back in there. This was such a disappointment because it's getting harder to find good sushi in L.A. Especially at this sky-high price point. read more

What an amazing experience! Our amazing server Paloma walked us through the menu, gave us great suggestions, and was attentive the entire night. Some of the dishes we enjoyed the most were the Baked Cod, Crispy Rice Wagyu, and Wagyu Beef Skewers. The Manager Jamie went above and beyond for my father's birthday to take care of us. Great food, atmosphere, and wonderful staff. Highly recommended from a person who grew up in the industry. They knocked it out of the park. read more

Sushi Roku has become our absolute go-to spot for incredible sushi, and after multiple visits, it never disappoints. We always have exceptional food and flawless service. We love the menu as it is traditional Japanese with California flair..... featuring the freshest fish...it's awesome! Some of our favorite standouts include the Hamachi Serrano (that perfect kick of heat and citrus), the Yellowtail with Diced Chiles drizzled in olive oil and ponzu, the crispy Brussels Sprout Chips (MY FAVORITE....they are so addictive), and their signature rolls like the White Lotus or Jalapeno tuna. Everything arrives beautifully presented, with bold flavors that balance perfectly--never overwhelming, always memorable. The sushi and sashimi are pristine, and the specialty appetizers and entrées keep us coming back to try more. I also love their iced green tea. So fresh and clean. Love it! But what truly elevates every experience is the service, which is consistently the best we've encountered anywhere. Our favorite waiter, PIERCE, is a total gem. He's incredibly attentive without hovering, has an uncanny knack for spot-on recommendations tailored to what we're craving (he always nails it), and handles everything with such genuine care that nothing ever goes wrong on his watch. Whether it's suggesting the ideal sake pairing or ensuring every dish comes out timed perfectly, PIERCE makes the meal feel personal and effortless. We've never had a single misstep when he's taking care of us--he's the reason we specifically ask for him now. Seriously....he is really the best!!! So if you are looking for top-tier sushi in a stylish, welcoming atmosphere, Sushi Roku delivers every single time. We can't recommend it highly enough--especially with Pierce leading the charge. Five stars aren't enough! read more

We have been to Sushi Roku many times and have always had a good experience. However, today the service was absolutely terrible. It took about 10 minutes to have our server come to the table to take our drink order. Then, it was sporadic when she would come back and take additional orders from us. Several of the items that came out were not exactly what we ordered. At the end of our meal, we wanted to order dessert but we sat there for 15 minutes being ignored by everyone so luckily they had a QR code check out or we might still be sitting there waiting. read more

I've been wanting to check out this place for a while, and came here with a few friends for dinner. We started off with cocktails. I had the Everything Zen signature cocktail which was Grey Goose vodka based with nigori sake. It looked like it was going to be sweet, but on the contrary it wasn't and was very refreshing. My friend ordered the Ueshima Old Fashion which the waiter lites the rosemary garnish at the table. We ordered a few plates to share. Started off with the Brussels Sprouts Chips. They were deliciously crisp with a tempura batter, truffle oil and salt. Next came the Hanabi Tuna, spicy tuna on crispy rice which came with 4 pieces. Loved it. Next came the Tatsuta-age (AKA karage, Japanese fried chicken) 6 pieces. It came piping hot, loved it. The next dish was the Katana roll, 8 piece of spicy tuna, shrimp tempura topped with tuna & yellowtail with a spicy aioli. Delicious. Next the Bacon wrapped Shrimp skewers, which we ordered 3 skewers. Always a great choice and one of my favorites. For dessert the 3 of us shared the warm chocolate chip cookies and the volcano cake ala mode. Loved both desserts. Sushi Roku is located in Manhattan Village next door to BOA, which the two restaurants are linked by shared restrooms between the two restaurants. There's valet parking and plenty of parking in the adjacent parking structure. The restaurant gets busy and is pretty loud, so if you're looking for a quiet intimate dinner look elsewhere. Sushi Roku is a trendy higher end / priced sushi place, and cocktails are on the higher price which is standard for restaurants like this. Service was friendly and attentive considering how busy the restaurant was on the Saturday evening we were there. read more
