    5/5 - Absolutely Incredible Sushi Experience! I visited Yamashiro Restaurant in Redondo Beach, and I am honestly blown away. This is hands down some of the freshest, highest-quality sushi I've had in the South Bay -- maybe even in all of LA! From start to finish, every dish was beautifully presented and unbelievably delicious. The sashimi platter was perfection -- thick, buttery cuts of salmon, tuna, scallops, octopus, and more. You can literally taste how fresh everything is. The Amaebi (sweet shrimp) was so delicate, and they even served the shrimp heads crispy, which was amazing! The appetizers were just as impressive -- * Crispy baby squid with a creamy dipping sauce * Refreshing cucumber salad * Perfectly blistered shishito peppers * Fresh mixed greens with a bright dressing * And the grilled yellowtail collar... SO juicy and flavorful! The long wooden nigiri board was stunning -- every single piece was melt-in-your-mouth good. The quality, presentation, and flavors are truly next-level. You can tell the chefs take pride in every detail. If you're a sushi lover, this place is a MUST. I can't wait to come back!

    This is easily one of the best sushi spots in redondo beach! My boyfriend and I came for dinner once Friday night and immediately were greeted with the most friendly staff almost immediately from the moment we walked in the door! The ambiance was so cute while they were playing early 2000s music! The food its self is some of the most fresh fish I've tasted while being here! I highly recommend this place as a staple sushi spot here! I can't wait to go back already! (:

    Omakase Rainbow Roll The Superman Roll

    The food presentation was so pretty! I had the rainbow roll and Superman roll, tried all different kinds of fish. The staff was so welcoming !!

    Narudo Roll

    Came here with a friend post-Pilates and honestly couldn't have picked a better spot to unwind. The yakisoba was fire, perfectly charred, great flavor. The no rice roll was simple but the fish quality spoke for itself. No notes. Service was genuinely warm and attentive without being in your face about it. Good food, good vibes, good company. We'll definitely be back.

    Loved the Negi Toro with fresh wasabi. Had 4 of them. Hamachi (yellow tail) was good as well. I will be going back.

    Came here with a friend and we were seated immediately. Staff is super friendly and checked in on us frequently to make sure we were enjoying our meal. Food was delicious, I really enjoyed the rolls that were served. Fish is super fresh!

    Love this place! Service is always great, clean restaurant and food is always fresh. Owner always makes you feel welcome and the rest of the staff are great also

    Salmon Double Double

    Delicious! The prices definitely reflect the quality. My salmon was delicious and fatty! For appetizers we got Shishito Pepper and the fried squid. I got a Salmon Double Double and my husband got a Caterpillar Rolll. I got a piece of halibut to try and it was also very tasty and fresh. Portions are small but the service is great, the food is fresh, and its easily accessible next to plenty of parking.

    Not only are the sushi and other dishes fresh and delicious, the service is excellent. The beer tower and sake (they have a great selection) washes the sushi down very well!

    Great service, delicious food, beautifully presented! Perfect for a special occasion...Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    I really enjoy coming to this sushi restaurant. The owner/host is always so kind and attentive and happy to help. And it's just a nice place to get away to for lunch, with some yummy food. I like to try different items each time I come and I've enjoyed everything I've tried thus far. I really like restaurant itself; the outdoor patio is a nice spot to eat and the booths inside are comfy.

    Sushi Burrito

    I went for dinner with my bf at around 8 pm, and we sat down pretty quickly as it was relatively empty. This is my second time here, and the service is always fast; the servers are nice and attentive. It's a nice, cozy spot with light music playing in the background. The owner (I think was the person who spoke to us) was so sweet and informative regarding the food and drinks. We got an albacore double-double roll, which was excellent and had a nice crunch on top. The star of the show was definitely the sushi burrito! My boyfriend finally convinced me to try, and it is a must-have. It's light and flavorful, definitely recommend. Overall, always a great experience when visiting & recommend if you're in the area !

    Clean and chill conveyer belt above Tokyo Central…read more Our favorites: Jack Mackerel*** - with ginger and scallions. It was surprisingly so good!!! With the skilled cut and flavor combination, it tastes like straight up cold butter which felt illegal. Not fishy at all. Just butter wow Salmon**- simple and delicious. We liked the fresh better than seared today. Scallops*- fresh and sweet! From Japan Seared Black cod*- so soft and buttery. Tastes special. Yum! Side note: their spicy mayo is really good. I'm getting sesame oil notes on it which really amps up the flavor! Seared Mackerel - not as buttery as the jack variety, firm and fishier Red Shrimp - fresh and tasty, but the texture was firm, maybe I'll try a different variety next time Matcha Mont Blanc - Nutty, creamy, and mild, much more chestnut taste than matcha. It's good! Service is nice, and even if there's a wait, it's nice to put your number and shop around.

    Went yesterday, the time between getting each item was ridiculous…read more 20min gaps between 1-2 items at a time for raw items, not even the cooked or fried items. Ironically, those were the quickest. It was not a pleasant experience as this happened 3 separate times. Yes, we were a party of 2 and in between items it would take 17-22 min for the next. It took us over an hour to receive a few items. I want to say maybe they don't have enough people staffed on Sunday in the back? At the front they were fine and had enough servers which was good but not at the back. It was just a really long time and wasn't like this in the past. Either way, it was a disappointing evening.

    If you're looking for the best takeout sushi in the South Bay, Yanagi Kitchen is the spot. I've…read moretried a ton of places in the area, and nothing consistently hits the same level of freshness, quality, and value. The fish is always incredibly fresh, with clean flavors and generous cuts that don't feel skimpy like some other takeout spots. Their rolls are well-balanced (not overloaded with rice), and everything tastes like it was made with real care--even when you're just grabbing a quick order to go. What really sets Yanagi Kitchen apart is how reliable they are. Whether it's a simple sashimi combo or a full spread of rolls, the quality never dips. The presentation is great for takeout too, which is a nice bonus. Service is fast, staff is friendly, and orders are always accurate. It's become my go-to whenever I'm craving sushi without the dine-in fuss. Highly recommend--this place is a South Bay gem.

    Yanagi is take-out only, and honestly, I don't quite get the hype. If the prices were a bit lower,…read moreI might be able to justify it, but for what we paid, the sushi was mediocre. They have a self-order kiosk, and our food was ready in about 10 minutes. My husband and I shared an avocado salmon roll, scallop sushi, albacore sushi, and a tempura roll. Unfortunately, everything tasted really bland even with soy sauce, maybe they don't season their sushi rice? For us, this is a one-and-done spot.

The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work."

The parking lot has to be at most 8 spots, so the earlier the dinner time, the better parking wise. It is reservation only and they do offer omakase. My wife and I got about 11-12 dishes and for $80, it is a great deal. We added a bottle of sake as well. If you've had omakase experiences before, you know all too well that there might be things you don't like. That doesn't happen here. All of the dishes served weren't excessively exotic, but things you've had before. The waitress asked us if there were things we didn't like, which I found kind. Food: I wanted to highlight the freshness of the fish such as the chutoro, and other nigiri pieces we got in our omakase experience. I've had plenty of omakase, and the fish here is cut perfectly without tendon or any impurities. Compared to all other sushi restaurants I've been to, Sushi chitose is near the top. Service/Ambiance. Service is quick and the sushi chefs are friendly. It is an inviting atmosphere and a gentle ambiance for great food. The restaurant is only opened for dinner, but you can check their website if things change. A great experience and I will be back if I'm in the area.
