Sakae Sushi is also CASH ONLY! The menu is simple and we ordered a 10-piece and 16-piece mixed sushi boxes. You can designate what you want but I let them pick, which resulted in lots of futomaki and inari; next time I will specify what I like since I preferred the ebi and saba and would have liked to try some pieces of California roll. 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!

Both aren't mindblowingly amazing but it gets the job done. Portions are fair and cheap so that's the selling factor. Not much more to it, just order at the front and seat yourself for a quick bite. It's a smaller restaurant and very casual so that's that.

Sushi Inaba (now in Torrance and not Manhattan Beach) is terrific. Don't let its low-key (in a…read morestrip mall and in a side room of the main restaurant) setting fool you. This is arguably the best sushi in the South Bay (neck-and-neck with Sushi Sonagi), arguably the best sushi in Southern California (going toe-to-to with the likes of Morihiro, Sushi Takeda, and Suhshi Gen), and possibly one of the best in the US (comparing it to Noz 17 and Sushi Sho in NYC ... albeit, with very different settings). Food: 17 course/piece omakase dinner. Everything was, again, terrific with standouts being the fatty tuna (toro), monkfish liver (ankimo), eel (unagi), and sea urchin roll (uni). Bottom Line: TERRIFIC.

Came because they were sourcing their wagyu from Sakakiyama. Apparently the focus is on raising a…read morebalanced, flavorful beef - not just simply go for the highly marbled A5 rating. Some parts of Japan might feed their wa-gyu herd beer and rice. Sakakiyama apparently puts their cows on a steady diet of rice straw, then cashew nut meal. I can tell you, the result is pretty damn good. While there is still that lovely, oily, marbled fat, it is leveled out in harmony with the beef content. I think those of you that have bought like, some $150/oz A5 Wagyu cut from a high end steak place know just how cloyingly rich a mere 2 or 3 ounces of beef can be. We tried out every top tier cut you could grill at this fabulous yakiniku. A5 ribeye, A5 short rib, A5 chuck flap, A5 ribeye sukiyaki style (the thinly sliced beef to dip into a beaten raw egg), A5 top round, A5 topround steak cut, A5 sirloin, A5 tenderloin... and even.... A5 Chateaubriand (that lovely tenderest part of the tenderloin that includes the filet mignon). They are all lovely and enjoyable in their own way, in their own way that they begin to grill, or even the way the wagyu kind of caramelizes into its Maillard reaction of cooking that lovingly marries that amino acid meatiness to the beef's inherent sugars. Your bite into heaven is merely the cost of Sakakiyama beef. And that glorious Chateaubriand, so beefy, yet lusciously tender, as that melted marbled fat boosts its power the way hollowfication boosts Kurosaki Ichigo's bankai to untold magnitudes of dominance!!! And don't skimp on the sides. Splurge on that demure bowl of shiso rice. The seasoning and sliced shiso leaves over white rice really brightens and freshens up the palate in a way that really complements rich fatty wagyu beef. The plate of seasonal vegetables are also the way to go. Just do it. Fresh, acidity, crisp vegetables brings harmony to the whole experience. And pair it all to a glass of red wine, or tall glass of Suntory The Premium Malts. It's what Ryo Saeba, the City Hunter would do. If you're splurging this much, might as well go all the way. Ne? Nyaa?! Victory must be absolute. Personal service might be slow, but they only had like 2 people on staff on the floor, running between only... EVERY table. But if you want to get their attention, use the electric bell on the table. But they're good people. Nice people. The greatest people. Serving some of the greatest food, the greatest beef. So some reviewers might think this yakiniku joint is among the worst. But I think it's one of the greatest! [Last note: we were lucky to grab a 50% off premium cuts weekend discount, normally this meal which heartily fed a party of 4 with drinks, would cost in the neighborhood of over $600. But even they do have a more accessible menu of US Prime cuts along with A5 and non-A5 wagyu.]

Call ahead to make a reservation - they are reservation only. I saw them turn away a few customers…read morewho did not have reservations. You are allotted 90 minutes, they do a last call 30 minutes before your end time. Yakitori Nishi is situated in an unsuspecting plaza with a hole in the wall feel. As you enter and are seated you're transported to a yakitori bar filled with the smells of charcoal and a vivacious ambiance. If you are not a selective eater, I highly recommend trying every skewer they have! My friend and I ordered the pork belly, chicken meatball, quail egg, chicken thigh with green onion, fried tofu, zucchini, fried onigiri (grilled rice ball), and the potato (with butter). There were also specials off menu - we tried the chicken sasami which was incredibly tender. All the skewers were seasoned so well and the charcoal made a huge difference in the experience. We did pair our proteins with the onigiri and potato which filled us up. There were condiments to complement the skewers - Japanese spice powder, yuzu kosho, vinegar, and soy sauce. I pretty much had the yuzu kosho with everything. I'm not sure if there was something wrong with their AC, but it was quite hot in there! After a while you get used to it and adds to the authenticity of enjoying a yakitori on a hot summer evening in Japan.

I was visiting Cycle Gear in the same plaza and saw there's a yakitori place to try! I made…read morereservations to go in this past Saturday with my partner. He LOVES yakitori and we were looking forward to trying this place as there is a lack of authentic yakitori around where we live and have to travel (mostly) to South Bay. It is a small restaurant and reservations are highly recommended. Since we sat by the entrance, every group that walked in I can hear they have a reservation. Two parties arrived where they were turned away or told to come back at 9pm. The first thing we noticed was the grill was nowhere in sight. We are used to having yakitori being cooked in or near the dining room but this one has it located inside the kitchen. The negative with this is that the cook won't be able to visually see where each customer is at with their food and our skewers ended up coming out pretty quickly one after another. In regard to the food, I have never seen grilled pork feet on a menu before so I had to order it. Wow, it was better than I imagined. I'm used to having it boiled or braised so it being grilled was new to me. The skewers that come sauced were lacking flavor; the skewers with salt is definitely better. I also appreciate the cook being able to accommodate our request on how cooked we wanted a couple of the skewers. We agreed it was a pretty good yakitori spot and will come back again. It was unfortunate I was too stuffed to try their rice ball and will have to try it next time. Also to note, if you're sitting at the bar just be careful if you have drinks. The ledge where your serving plate sits on is tilted. I had to leave my drink on the flat surface to keep it from tilting. Another patron unfortunately had his beer spilled on him due to the tilt. I'm not sure if there is some sort of bumper the restaurant can place on that ledge to avoid future accidents.

I still had some leftovers, though. sashimi were thick cut pieces, needed 2 bites per piece to eat. beef teriyaki: get it. even if you JUST get this, get it. I knew something was up when my mom AND sister both ordered some kind of combo, but my sister called dibs on my mom's as soon as she said she was going to order it. this led me to ordering my own beef teriyaki combo. oyakodon was classic and hit everything just right, the cheapest of the entrees but just as filling. love it here!! will be back soon

The wife and I checked this place out recently. I ordered the tempura and beef combination while…read moreshe got the tempura and sashimi combination. I got to try items from not only my plate, but hers as well. The food was hit and miss. The beef teriyaki, which they cooked exactly to the doneness I requested, was incredibly good. The steak was tender - the teriyaki sauce was spot on. I also liked the macaroni salad which was hiding behind the lettuce. However, the sashimi and tempura missed the mark. While the slices of sashimi (e.g., tuna, salmon, and yellow tail) were fresh, they were cut way too thick. The assortment of tempura tasted good, and was crunchy, but was battered way too heavily. It felt like the batter was the focal point of the dish instead of the vegetables and shrimp, which I could barely taste. The service was excellent. Our server was attentive even though the restaurant was packed with people. The food and drinks came out fast. They served our sodas in chilled mugs, which was a nice touch. I didn't enjoy the fact that it was uncomfortably warm in the restaurant (it was hot that day). I don't think the AC was running. However, I won't count this against the establishment since the server stopped by our table to apologize about the warm temperature in the room. Some final thoughts about this place. -We came right at opening. The place filled up pretty fast. -There was plenty of parking behind the restaurant. -If this restaurant had executed the small things more effectively, as opposed to focusing on preparing the food quickly, this could have easily been a five star write up.

Although the wait was a bit longer than expected, the time flew by! The restaurant is located inside of a market so you can shop around while you wait. The restaurant inside is very nice and clean! You order on the tablet at your table and the food arrives by the conveyer belt. We ordered the salmon party which is so fresh and flavorful, we ordered 3! We also had classics like the dragon roll, eel cream cheese, wagyu beef trio, and a surprising group favorite the seared spicy tuna cheese roll! If you are a more savory person you will definitely enjoy it as well! Overall, the service was quick, friendly, and the food was so fresh and packed with flavor for the price you pay. Will be back!
