    Updating my review because the service is STILL amazing! My boyfriend and I came in last night for a little date night and thankfully made it in time for happy hour! They've changed their menu a bit, but we ordered from the Signature Menu and loved every single plate. We literally left nothing behind! The sushi is always so fresh and never fishy. Even my least favorite rolls taste amazing here. I don't know what they do differently, but they never disappoint. I wish I had taken more pictures, but honestly, every time a plate came out, we couldn't wait to dig in! The staff is always so welcoming and genuinely makes you feel taken care of. We were happy to wait for a booth, which took less than five minutes! I definitely recommend visiting on a weekday, if you can. It's less crowded, the staff is just as attentive as always, and with fewer people, everything comes out a little faster. You can really sit back, relax, and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. It made our little date night even better.

    Aikan Sushi has been my go-to spot for AYCE sushi! Every time my family and I visit, it has always been consistent and delicious. We always order the baked mussels, crispy rice spicy tuna/salmon, agashi tofu, and a ton of nigiris. The rice-fish ratio is perfect- nice blending of the fish and rice. The service is spot on- really quick and attentive employees. The inside is pretty long- there are plenty of tables and seats, plus there is bar seating as well. Overall, it's a perfect restaurant for AYCE sushi!!! I can't wait to go back.

    If you have a huge appetite and just wanna binge eat Japanese food and sushi, come to Aikan. You won't be disappointed.

    As far as AYCE sushi restaurants go, Aikan had a lot of great options. Service was quick as well. I wasn't blown away by anything from their premium options though unfortunately. Probably won't be choosing the Premium AYCE in the future. From the regular choices, I liked most of the appetizers (boiled mussels, fried oysters, agedashi tofu, miso soup, cucumber salad, sashimi salad, and seaweed salad). I think I could've just done appetizers all day, because the nigiris were just alright. The seared salmon was the only one I cared to get a second of. The regular tuna was pretty sad looking, and the toro was ok. Uni was good but small. I'd say with the try for sure!

    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.

    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.

    Whats left of the yellowtail collarbone. lol

    Always fresh quality seafood, sushi's always on point! We always get the yellowtail & salmon collarbones! Kids sweet ending with ice cream macaroons

    The food was really great. Our favorites were the toro salmon and the scallop carpaccio. Our server, Matthew, was nice and great. The restaurant was quiet and chill on a Wednesday night.

    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

    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?

    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.

Its a small place, and it wasn't overly busy. Its likely that it was a slow night and server #2 appeared to be socializing with some friends seated at another table. In other news, I don't understand the hype over the Wagyu. In my opinion, it was oddly greasy but overcooked. No one asked how I like my steak - which is fine if that's customary in Japanese cuisine - but the end result simply missed the mark. However, I want to add that the owner was absolutely lovely! He made me a drink that resembled an Old Fashioned, and it was delicious. I can tell the owner truly cares about his restaurant - and for that reason - I'm willing to come back and try something different.

While curry is their specialty they have other items such as udon, teriyaki, and donburi bowls as well as a few typical appetizers such as tempura and karaage. The restaurant is not very big but has a fair amount of tables. Its style has a mix of modern and traditional Japanese elements with lofi music playing in the background. We were given a friendly welcome upon entering and the service was great. We started with the mixed tempura which was light and crispy - a perfect starter that won't fill you up. For dinner we tried the beef curry and chicken katsu curry. Both were delicious. I had the chicken katsu. I really liked the breading as it was light and crispy - not too thick or greasy. The sauce was also rich and flavorful. I made it a combo which includes miso soup and a salad of choice. I selected the cucumber salad which was a little sweet but refreshing with the meal. I hope to try their donburi next.

    So stoked that there are more proper East Asian restaurants west of the 605 and south of the 91…read more My order was a chicken katsu curry takeaway. I called it in on a lazy Tuesday after hiking. Food didn't take that long but I like that there was a wait because I know it'll be freshly made. When I walked into the restaurant to pick up my order, inside was cozy and I noticed that it was pretty busy for a late Tuesday lunch. A really nice young woman who rang me up and handed me my bag of goods. When I got home, I was pleased to see that they had separated the Katsu from the curry sauce, so my meat didn't end up being soggy. Their curry sauce is different from most curry houses. There are some herbs in it that I can't put my finger on, but I love it because it's not like any of the others. Chicken was juicy and rice was fluffy. I also like their kizami ginger which had a nice solid crunch. Even though it took me a while to pick up my food, it was still nice and warm when I sat down to eat it. Very happy with the presentation and the flavour. We'll try to visit and eat at the restaurant next time. Parking lot is small and can get a little crowded with all the other businesses open. But there is also street parking available. Also, because it's a Japanese restaurant, they are not open on Mondays.
