The chef is absolutely amazing, and everyone there is incredibly kind. The customer service was great from beginning to end. But THE SUSHI?! I ordered the $19 Crunchy Sushi, and when I tell you it was TOP NOTCH--I mean it! The flavor, the crunch, the freshness... everything was just SO delicious. Every bite was perfect. If I could give this place 1,000 stars, I would! Definitely one of the BEST sushi spots I've found. I will absolutely be coming back!

Food 10/10- clean presentation, good quality food and sushi. Big portions. Price is very reasonable. Ambiance inside is great. Sadly they are a small business that suffers from being in a not so great area. There are women that do walk around in front of their business looking for men. It's very sad to see the business owner trying to run his business and create a nice atmosphere for his customers while this is happening right in front of their windows. Please support this small family owned business!

Cute little place in the plaza with Aldi…read more I came by Monday night, and surprisingly they were almost full for dine in. I think we took the last booth and there was 1 open table for 2. I ordered the el diablo and it was a WARM? roll..., idk it didn't say that anywhere. So needless to say when I put the first piece in my mouth I was very surprised to have a hot sushi roll in my mouth. It reminded me of a chicken tender but salmon flavored ... cause it was salmon. Idk how to explain it, but it wasn't bad. I just didn't like that it was a baked roll or whatever it was. Caught me off guard. Service lagged after eating. Took a while to get someone to get the check. I like the ambiance inside, small, a little dark, but overall a "hole in a walll" for sure. I'd have to return to try different rolls for a better experience. Plenty of parking in the plaza, they have restrooms. Pretty extensive menu. I forgot to take pics my bad yall

Chef Daniel is very personable and really engages with each of his guests to make them feel very welcome. Food wise, he serves and excellent Korean infused omakase. Of this summer menu highlights were the in season items like biwa, abalone and aji. His knife skills are excellent with precise scoring of the neta. His rice handling is also excellent with a not too densely packed shari. Overall another great omakase with excellent friendly service.

The menu changes seasonally but it seems like the stunning flower cut tofu is a mainstay. The sushi was well prepared and comparable to many other top spots locally and abroad.

The service was fantastic! They were patient, attentive, answered all our questions, and stayed on top of refills. The chefs were very nice too. My only note is that the ventilation could use some improvements. We walked out smelling like had been sitting next to the fryer. But that is a very small price to pay for such delicious food and great overall experience. We will definitely be returning!

As we each scrolled through countless very well written and informative Yelp sushi reviews this little place that has a ribeye plate AND sushi with a Latino twist jumped out at me.....we agreed and took off to eat!! I was blown away by the genuine hospitality....turning the swamp cooler towards us, finding a parking spot for us, holding it, and then helping me squeeze every single inch out of that spot. Good People!! Be aware parking kinda sucks but just keep an eye on the "no parking" signs. I don't think I've even mentioned the food yet??!! Good LAWD!!! We ordered a few different rolls and took the waiter's suggestion on a few more. We had WAY TOO MUCH FOOD so we decided to try the steak on another visit. Everything was delicious and colorful and represented both cultures very well I thought. Fresh, colorful, and delicious. The best part was the honest, straight from the heart conversation with the "owner" who rang up our bill, which I felt was underpriced,...way too cheap. Ambiance is South LA with a Latin flair. Comfortable, super hospitable and fun people to be around!! I was all over the place with this review, sorry about that... please check them out, it was great.

The tuna as bright red, the toro was buttery and the sushi rice was delicious. The hamachi Kama was unbelievable. Cooked to perfection. Nice crust but not overcooked. I can't say enough. We had the Kama, edamame, 1 roll, 12-14 pieces of nigiri and 1 hand roll and a beer . For 2 plus %20 tip was $150. I will be back. It's a must TRY while in Long Beach. Bon appetit.

Since I counted only 6 of us in the restaurant, each item was delivered in rapid succession. I ordered the Halibut Carpaccio, Spicy Scallop Roll, Negi Toro Hand Roll, and Hokkaido Scallop Nigiri. Everything was delicious, but the serranos on the halibut forced me to tap out again. The hokkaido scallops were divine, but hot damn were they soaked in wasabi, which was overwhelming. The hand roll was tasty, but a little too much wasabi also. Obviously, these are personal preferences and don't affect the fact that Kimu is a 5-star establishment.

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!

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!
