    Been meaning to try Aikan Sushi for awhile. Was visiting my friend and they wanted to come here for dinner, so it worked out! The menu here is super extensive and broken down by regular and premium. Honestly, there really is no need to get the premium menu because there are so many options on the regular menu. What I really cared about was the quality of the nigiri since I have been to many AYCE sushi places where the fish quality was questionable at best. Pretty good here, much fresher than I was expecting and very plentiful cuts! Rest of the menu is solid, can't go wrong with anything on here honestly. Staff were great here. Our server was extremely friendly! Food came out super quick, which is no small feat given how much we ordered. They really have it down to a science here. I wasn't expecting much, but Aikan definitely beat the expectations I had for it. I'm not much of an AYCE guy anymore, but I would definitely come back here.

    One star off for this sad and sorry oyster - I would not serve this

    Premium AYCE prices went up to $54.99. We decided to splurge a little since we haven't had sushi in a while. We ATE too much! And it was really delicious and fresh! We usually do not get any rolls filled with rice, so we focus on the fish. One of the highlights of our AYCE sushi was the salmon poke on crispy rice and Amaebi. So good! I would have given 5 stars but honestly, the oyster was pathetic. I would definitely not serve that to a Premium customer. That wasn't a good move at all. Other than the sorry oyster, everything else was great. Next time you are looking to eat too much, try this AYCE place!

    Food was fantastic. The quality of the fish was very high for an all you can eat. I have eaten at a variety of AYCE style restaurants that serve sushi and this was up to par with other high quality options. There were a variety or rolls, nigiri, and a large selection of appetizers. Everything tasted fresh and was a good experience. Many rolls are offered in 4 pieces which can give you more options to try a larger variety of rolls! Service was fantastic. This is a solid option for all you can eat sushi, even outside of Long Beach area. It was worth the drive from Orange County.

    As far as quality goes this place was pretty good, especially for AYCE. The sushi was fresh, the service was relatively quick, and the staff were really nice. It's the perfect spot for a casual date night or dinner with friends. We tried a variety of sushi options including the dynamite, salmon pleasure roll, yellow tail, spicy tuna crispy rice, AIKAN special roll, rainbow roll, lion king roll, skinny salmon roll, and Long Beach roll. My favorites were the salmon pleasure and lion king rolls but honestly everything was delicious! I like that they bring them out in half orders so you can order a variety of options, eat at a good pace, and not waste because they do charge a fee if you order food and don't eat it. Be prepared for a wait since the restaurant can be packed on the weekend. Highly recommend

    The sushi overall was just okay nothing that really stood out. The tuna in particular wasn't great and had a bit of an off taste which was disappointing. That said, upgrading to the premium menu was definitely worth it since it gives you more variety and better options to choose from. The mussels and appetizers were actually the highlight of the meal they were flavorful and well prepared. Service was decent and the experience was fine overall, but I wouldn't come here specifically for the sushi.

    The best AYCE sushi! This place serves quality fish including their steak. Every item we got did not disappoint. Service was also great.

    Coming to Aikan was like rediscovering an oldie but goodie. I have been to the Artesia location a few times back in 2022 post-Covid times, and it was my first time at LB location tonight. The parking was more ample and the restaurant seemed bigger too. The ambiance, music, service and food were five stars all around. The only thing to note was that they didn't bring out some orders - one piece of mackerel and an order of mussels- but it was nothing detrimental to the overall experience. The salmon was the freshest I've tried at an ayce sushi spot, and the miso soup was also pretty darn perfect. Highlights: yuzu salmon nigiri, crispy rice tuna, yellowtail, unagi roll, Dynamite. Will definitely be back in the near future!

    Came back here with my friend and we realized it changed a bit :( the sashimi was cut so thin and tiny.. so disappointing! Service was slower too. Some of the rolls we got were sloppy with the presentation so we were disappointed! Maybe they were just too busy on a Saturday night.

    We KILT IT !

    WE ARE COMING BACK. We were looking for a new AYCE sushi spot. We just moved to Long Beach from the South Bay. Everything was excellent. Great service ! Dylon was awesome. He didn't skip a beat.

    Honestly, this was an incredible experience! was my first time at a sushi bar, and everything exceeded my expectations. The staff was so patient and welcoming, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I'll definitely be back over and over again!

    Goodness overload!

    Aikan is an absolute favorite sushi place for my husband and I. We have been to few locations and it never disappoints. We have a few favorite dishes. Salmon sashimi is an absolute favorite sashimi salad, miso soup, salmon pleasure is a must have rainbow, tiger rolls. You should definitely try the muscles. They're amazing everything here is beyond beyond amazing. I highly recommend recommended to everyone.

    Came here on a Saturday around 1pm. Fairly busy but got seated right away. Service was great they were checking in on us and explained the menu well. They have a all you can eat option. Ordered the miso soup it was good and hot. Ordered the Baked Alaskan roll it was good salmon was seared well. Crunch roll was good wish it was a bit more crunchy. Spicy tuna crunch roll which was actually spicy. All rolls were a good amount. All in all would come again on the pricier side but everything tasted fresh.

    Oh yeah!

    Why did it take me so long to check this place out! I used to work at Long Beach airport and would pass this place on the daily but never stopped in and now I regret not checking it out sooner. This place is incredible! The service was great. Walked in and was immediately greeted and seated. I decided to come in at the start of dinner time and choose the all you can eat deal. Yes they have an ALL YIU CAN EAT! They offer it for lunch and dinenr

    Yes! We ordered a lot of it!

    Hi, what is the difference between the regular and premium all you can eat? is premium the whole menu?

    Yep the premium one has four or five extra seafood items. But I think there was a limit to order the select few premium items

    All you can eat?

    Yes. $32 lunch, $38 lunch premium, dinner $39, $45 dinner premium. Higher price point, but the quality of fish was good and rice / fish ratio was better than fair.

The security guard asked extremely inappropriate questions like "aren't you a lady?" and "what bathroom do you usually use?". Anytime my boyfriend responded, he yelled more and threatened to kick him out. This was a deeply upsetting situation. We were there for a friend's birthday and we left immediately after the incident. We definitely will NOT be returning to the Blind Donkey. We also suggest our queer and trans friends and community avoid this place too! The Blind Donkey needs to do better with educating and welcoming people of all genders. For good karaoke in a queer & trans friendly place, we recommend Silver Fox!

    False Advertising and Total Failure of a "Speakeasy"…read more This place should not call itself a speakeasy. According to their website, they are strict about dress code, reservations, and no large parties. None of that was enforced. People arrived wearing sports clothes, tennis shoes, and flip-flops, and a group of more than 10 people was allowed in. That group was loud, drunk, and screaming, completely destroying any speakeasy ambiance. We had a reservation booked one week in advance for 2 tables of six, yet by 8:30 pm, we were told no food was available, despite the bar being almost empty. The water was already on the table when we arrived and tasted strongly of chlorine, with no ice. The waitress was clearly new, untrained, and unprepared. She did not know the menu, didn't know how to take an order properly, and provided no guidance whatsoever. There was one bartender Ricardo, who took over an hour to prepare cocktails and showed no sense of urgency or care. The dramatic cocktail descriptions sounded impressive, but the drinks did not match the descriptions at all. Because of the delays, we were never even able to properly toast or celebrate our friend. The charcuterie board took forever and arrived with an absurd amount of cheese and only six pieces of bread. To make things worse, part of the food we ordered never arrived at all. The live jazz band advertised and promised never showed up. When asked, the staff responded with: "I don't know, they were supposed to be here. I don't have their phone number." That level of disorganization is unacceptable. At the end of the night, we were shocked to receive a check close to $600 for two tables, despite each person only having one cocktail and shared food. The bartender, Ricardo, approached us and said: "Well, sorry, we really tried tonight! It wasn't the best, but we tried." Honestly, that comment made the experience even more frustrating. I can't imagine how bad it would have been if they hadn't "tried."That statement perfectly summarizes the problem -- trying is not enough when everything fails. I would not recommend this place for a speakeasy experience. This is not a speakeasy. It's a poorly run bar hiding behind a concept it does not deliver. Do not recommend.

Incredible knowledge and ingredients but not snooty patootie. Super inclusive and fun, with cool popups and events happening all the time. It's a full bar so you can get any cocktail you would normally order if you're keeping it simple, or beer, wine, boilermakers, etc. There's a span of offerings and price points, so something for everyone.

It's clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.

I've been coming around since back when it was Iguana Kelly's, and it's been cool to see how the place has evolved while still keeping that local, neighborhood feel. The location is super easy to find, right next to a donut shop and a mechanic, and across the street you've got a 7-Eleven, Subway, and a few other small spots. Plus, Tommy's Burgers and an Arco are right nearby, so everything you might need is within reach. I tried both the cucumber mixed drink and the mango mixed drink, both were really good, but I personally preferred the cucumber one. It's less sweet and way more refreshing, especially if you're not into overly sugary drinks. We also had a BBQ chicken pizza that they cook in a fire oven (I think it's called a wood-fired pizza), and it was really good, definitely worth trying if you go. Service was good During the outdoor event, they had things set up really well, including a sign that read "21 and over beyond this point only," which helped keep things organized.

Though we had to re-locate from the side room due to maintenance services going on that were a bit dusty and loud. All things considered, I'd come back to give it another try because it seems like a really solid spot otherwise, and we may have caught it on an off day.

We had a reservation for six and the hostess greeted us and sat us right away. Our server, Nate, was fantastic. He knew the menu and answered all of our questions. He even explained how some of the drinks were made. Later we found out he was actually one of the bartenders helping out as a server for the night. Which made sense considering how well he knew how the drinks were made. He was attentive and checked on us often to make sure everything was going well. One thing that made him stand out was, he actually conversed with us rather than just asking if we needed anything and then leaving. The Old Fashioned was one of the smoothest and best I've probably ever had. My nephew ordered the Ube Painkiller after Nate described how it was made. I had a sip, and the ube flavor really came through without overpowering the drink and it was perfectly matched with the dark rum, which Nate said came from the Caribbean. The Brussels sprouts had a nice mix of tender and crispy pieces that gave additional texture. The calamari was tender and the pesto style sauce paired real good with it. The Thai curry sea bass was flavorful, flaky, and had the right amount of spice. The cioppino had a rich shellfish flavor in the broth and I appreciated that the tomato base didn't have such an acidic taste. We also shared the tomahawk, which was juicy, cooked perfectly, and had a sprinkle of coarse salt that really brought out the flavor. Overall, we had a great experience.

Happy hour was happening which we took advantage of. It was 4.00 off appetizer, 2.00 off draft wine and beer. Also, they made sure that our little pup was well taken care of as well. Food wise, an order of the poke wrap. Nice chunks of ahi with a scoop of rice, lettuce, avocado and wasabi sauce. It was good but a little messy. As it would be with all of the lettuce wraps. The steamed mussels which is a must. The broth was delicious and served with two nice thick slices of toasted bread. Decent size mussels cooked deliciously in the broth. A must try. Lastly the calamari which was tossed with jalapeños. Both deep fried and quite tasty. Nice crunch to it but not overly cooked. That was also served with two dipping sauce. Everything was delicious. Towards the end of the meal, Melinda noticed that a bug was in my wine which she was very sweet about and made sure to take care of it. The simple little gesture was greatly appreciative. The whole experience was excellent. Everyone was the sweetest and friendliest. Will definitely be back.
