    Lunch special menu
    Justine D.

    Amazing lunch deal! $12 for miso soup, fresh mango salad, salmon, an egg roll, and Hibachi style fried rice! Went in around 3pm on a Wednesday and there was plenty of seating. Food came out quick and fresh. My hubby got two rolls and they were solid. There was street parking outside and it looked like it could easily accommodate groups.

    Came here with a friend to catch up and this place did not disappoint. We went on a Tuesday and service was great. We both got the Maki Combo which included soup and three rolls.

    Love their sashimi! Always fresh and tastes great. I order this every week along with himawari salad which is soooo good too!!

    My kids have been asking to eat Japanese food but I wasn't sure where to order from as we are new to the area. Did a search in this group (newly added)-thank you and Himawari came up. We called to ask a few questions before we ordered as my kids are super picky. They literally only want to eat salmon. Himawari was so nice and accommodating. I was able to change the sushi nigiri to all salmon nigiri for $4 extra and ask for no tuna for the sashimi deluxe as the whole family refuses to eat tuna. We also tried the yellowtail roll but it was gone before I could take a pic. We tried the rocky shrimp that was yum. Almost like a copycat of Nobu. Totally approved by my kids. Yummy!

    Simple clean cuisine with good flavor. The food is not salty or over done. Everything we ordered was delicious social distancing was enforced. Staff wore masks. The sushi section is close to the dining area which is nice. One of the few places in the area that allowed sit down dining

    Food was really good. Atmosphere is no frills but the food was really good. There was one server, she answered the phones (the phone rang a lot, they had a ton of to go orders), she took the dine in orders, and distributed the food. We were worried service wouldn't be good, but she managed quite well.

    Mai tais and Edamame yummy

    Great staff! They were very friendly and they all wore masks. They seems to have many repeat customers because many people knew one of the staff members. He even sat down with one table and chatted for a while. I love to see that. It shows they care about their customers!. The music was cool and the drinks, we had Mai Tais, were yummy. We had the fried rice with shrimp, veggie tempura and edamame. We look forward to returning.

    Having recently moved to LB, we have been working our way through all of the sushi restaurants that deliver each week in search of our favorite. So far, this one takes the cake! We ordered an assortment of rolls to share tonight - lots of veggie rolls, a spicy tuna roll and some of their special rolls. They were all awesome and very fresh. The delivery was prompt and the customer service was outstanding. We will definitely be ordering from here again - and soon!

    Nothing special at all, how is this place getting such a high review? Maybe because I am from the city, not impress at all...This is just your regular chinese owned sushi joint.. Service was not professional and not welcoming, waitresses dont know how to smile or say the word "thank you", we walked into the restaurant, before even seating us at the table and the hostess already asked us for our drink order, its like can we at least sit down and look at the menu first??? Then we ordered 3 rolls and we waited forever for the third roll and apparently they forgot to put in the system so we told them to cancel it. Food was nothing special either except the rock shrimp, sauce was pretty tasty but the shrimps were tiny.. Seems like i should avoid sushi joint on Long beach as we did not have good experience from the nearby Nagahama either..

    Been here and have ordered in a few times, tried different rolls and everything is typically tasty. Harvest roll was my go to. Recently tried the Marvin roll and the Himawari roll though and they are my new favorites. Their Thai pineapple fried rice is good but nothing special. I've tried their chicken teriyaki bento box for dinner and it's good but chicken portion was kind of small, it was mostly a bunch of sliced up onions (the spicy kind not even sweet). Service is great, staff is nice and tries to be as quick as possible. Their green tea fried ice cream was good although it didn't taste like green tea at all. Prices are also very reasonable.

    50% of the Golden Salmon order. Salmon wrapped crab.

    Sherry Blossom consistently delicious food and drinks,…read more Whether to go or eating in, Sherry & her staff always make me & my family feel welcome & that our experience is important to them. Great Food at excellent prices. Probably have eaten there close to 100x and never had an experience that was not great.

    I was so excited to have my poke bowl with a side of a yummy bubble tea…read more The poke still bomb, fresh and a great portion. They have pre made bowls or you can build your own which is my fav! The place clean and cute and of course, packed and full of life. The staff upbeat and friendly which is what we love! Unfortunately I had to give them one less star for this rating (compared to my previous 5 star) because their bubble tea changed, not only their packaging but their quality. The cup felt flimsy, like if you squeeze too hard might pop the cover off, no big deal if the actual drink is great, then you bypass this BUT unfortunately this has to be one of the saddest bubble tea drinks I've had in a while. The drink was warm!!! Ugh, the ice was added last so therefore it melted immediately and so by the time it got to me, warm... I'm like ok I can add ice at home lol .. I had the mango and my boyfriend the peach. Both flavors were good, but both warm with ice is just not the same. We had it with tapioca bubbles and mango/peach popping boba. The popping boba was good but the tapioca pearls were SOOO HARD and a weird orange see through color so either they weren't ready or they were old! They were so hard they kept clogging our straw and couldn't sip our drink... everything about it was just a disappointment, I was so sad because I've been going there for years and I've loved their bubble tea and never had that problem! Anyway, go for food, skip their bubble tea.
