Philadelphia Roll
Lovelyn M.

We were able to make a same-day reservation. Of all the sushi places in the area, this is the one with the ambiance we wanted for a pre-Homecoming dance dinner and the many menu options we craved . The sushi was fresh, and they have the best crispy tuna! May make this our new favorite sushi spot in Old Town Torrance.

Uni pasta
Karen L.

The best spot locally for your fresh uni fix. No fishy taste, very clean and creamy. The shooters were the real test and it passed with flying colors. Everything we had was solid and this is a very comfortable spot. We enjoyed it as a group and love the easy and free garage parking. Recommend as your local sushi fix!!

Chef's donburi

We had our 521st monthly anniversary here and had a wonderful dinner. I love my sushi because the rice portion is perfect. It's small enough so you can appreciate the fish. When the rice is too much, you can't eat it in one bite like it's supposed to. We still love the uni shooters. We are going to try their sake pairing in July. It should be great. I can't wait!!

Uni pasta

I love uni and I've always wanted to try Miyabi Uni. We stopped by on our way to Intuit Dome and the food didn't disappoint. We had the Uni and Toro donburi (rice bowl) and the signature Uni pasta (Japanese style w garlic Uni butter and soy sauce based sauce). Great umami flavors and plenty of Santa Barbara Uni. The ambiance was cozy and clean, while the service was friendly and warm. It was a great experience!

Uni Toro Donburi
Alexander Y.

Came to Miyabi Uni as I was visiting my friend in Torrance and it was her suggestion after I said I wanted to try a Japanese place. Not too bad! Since this place specializes in uni, I obviously had to get something with uni. Was also craving toro, so I settled on the Uni Toro Donburi. Man this was great! Six pieces of toro and six pieces of uni. Well worth the price! Staff here was friendly, no complaints from me. Definitely worth a future visit.

Miyabi signature uni pasta
Rebecca T.

I love uni, and I was in the area to give Miyabi Uni a try. Showed up as soon as it opened for lunch, and was promptly seated. Ordered the uni oysters ($18.95 for two) and the Miyabi signature uni pasta ($33.95). The uni oysters were beautifully-presented, even had caviar and gold leaf dust on top! Taste-wise, they were really good: briny, creamy, and slightly sweet. Highly recommend getting this! Uni pasta was tasty as well: decent portions with al-dente spaghetti and flavorful garlic sauce. Decent amount of uni on top; the uni was also slightly torched, which brought out a smoky-sweet taste which I enjoyed. Although it didn't blow me away as much as the uni oysters, it was still a yummy and satisfying dish. Prices are steep, but for special events and the occasional treat, Miyabi Uni offers fresh uni with decent portions, and it's worth a go!

Toro & Uni Wrap
Nathaniel R.

El Prado Ave points the way from the park to Miyabi Uni, which is nestled within Plaza Del Prado in the heart of Old Torrance. Location is a notable feature of the restaurant, as its walkable surroundings are filled with bakeries, tea rooms, antique shops, and more. Miyabi Uni has been serving up quality sashimi rice bowls (donburi), hand rolls, and original creations for over a decade, and that experience shows. We opted for hot green tea and the toro and uni wrap to start off. The tea, although bagged, had a smooth and rich sencha-type flavor. We enjoyed the ponzu jelly and other unique elements of the wrap. The uni tasted fresh and sweet, signalling us to go ahead and have more. The Miyabi Kaisen donburi, recommended by our attentive server, was replete with deliciously tender cuts of salmon, tuna, roe, fresh uni, and more. The house uni hand roll was good, but we really enjoyed the salmon skin hand roll, which was brimming with crispy skin and grilled flavor...so much so that we ordered two. In summary, this staple of Old Torrance is a great place for curated bites of high-quality uni and other fresh seafood. However, the quality and location come with a price. Miyabi Uni is best enjoyed on a date or celebratory occasions to fully appreciate what it has to offer.

The fish is fresh here! They specialize in uni (hence the name) and have different varieties of uni. I love the donburi, uni pasta and fried oysters. They used to have happy hour, but they cancelled it in August 2025. They also have an outdoor patio that is dog friendly!

Miyabi Uni pasta
Linh P.

Great dining experience if you like uni and creamy/buttery foods. I went here for the birthday. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday lunch. The service is very prompt. Someone from my group couldn't have butter and they were accommodating. All the food had very balanced flavors. The miyabi Uni pasta was really good. Creamy but not too rich. Great presentation. The truffle fries were fun too. They give you a paper bag to mix in as much truffle salt as you would like. We used the entire thing! The salt also went great with the grilled squid. Would definitely recommend.

American Wagyu, Amaebi
Ella F.

Don't think twice about coming here. I can't say enough good things about this place! I didn't personally care for the American Wagyu, but everything else was top notch. Just my preference. I'm sure if they had Japanese Wagyu it would be on par. The staff were very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. And the music! I was jammin' while eating. When I'm back in the area, this is absolutely a spot I'll rerun to. Definitely on my top five.

Uni oyster
Yurie H.

Pricy but good quality seafood! We came here for a dinner at 06:30 Pm on a Saturday wasn't too crowded. There are table and bar seating, we walked here since the hotel was near by. For food, we got oyster with uni, sashimi bowl, ankimo, and saba and ebi sushi a la carte. Ankimo-(9/10) got miso flavor didn't have a fishy smell fresh Oyster with uni (10/10)-must get! The ratio of uni ikura was perfect. Chirashi bowl (8/10)-sashimi could have been cut thinner but generous on sashimi for $50, could share with 2 people. Sushi (7/10)-nothing special but fresh as expected Overall fancy and a treat meal to come for special occasion. Would highly recommend for uni lovers!

Small House Uni Donburi
Rangie T.

If Uni is in the name of the restaurant, then it's definitely a must try. It was nice to see that the wait staff were Japanese and I thought the chefs were too, but then I heard them speaking Spanish. That didn't quite ruin it for me, because if a master chef can teach his ways and it is followed, you would not know the difference. We came at the right time of the evening as they had happy hour options. Definitely had to order oysters for $1.50 each. Well worth it and so fresh. They had karaage octopus tentacles also for happy hour and they were delicious, but for $6.50, you only got 6 small pieces. As for our entrees, e has to try their creamy Uni pasta to compare to those we have had elsewhere. It was a slightly different preparation, but the taste was perfect. A very nice buttery and creamy taste of Uni and the right amount of sauce to pasta ratio. As for the reason we went to Miyabi Uni, we ordered the Uni Don Buri. We shared it which made it not enough, but as a single serving for one person, it would have been just the right amount of Uni and rice. Our server was very sweet. I tried my little bits of Japanese on her which really broke the ice. It almost made me feel like I was in Japan. We will definitely have to come back and try the many options they offer.

Uni Aglio E Olio
Joanne R.

10/10. Fantastic service, with the nicest servers. Delicious food and I mean DELICIOUS UNI!! The overall aesthetic of the place is simple and quiet. It's a great place try sea urchin if you've never had it before. I will 100% be back again!

Ask the Community - Miyabi Uni

I would like to try the pastas, are there eggs (as in chicken eggs) used in the pasta sauce?

Most of them are made of butter. I don't think there are eggs in the sauce but it could be in making of the pasta noodles.

Do they accept walk in with no reservations?

I've walked in without reservation before but it may depend on how busy they are. Highly recommend calling ahead of time to make sure.

This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / April 8, 2023

Yes it does but you need to call to reserve. It's covered all the time and heated (in the evenings).

Do they still have uni ice cream?

They did when I went in April.

Is there outdoor seating right now?

Yes, they have patio seating.

Do you have happy hours on weekdays? if so, what is the menu?

Yes, they do. Their menu changes with specials. You should call them.

How are the uni?

The uni is fresh! I'm certain they have Japanese Bafun uni and not just Santa Barbara uni. Bafun uni has more dense flavor and it's so much better than SB uni.

Is the patio dog friendly?

Yes :)

Is this business kid friendly?

Yes. If they will eat from their menu. But it's pricey.

Do they still offer 7 course dinner with pairing?

Yes, we do but only on select dates! Our next event will be next Thurs Sept 20th. Please like our Facebook page or follow us on Instagrams for all announcements. Hope to see you soon!

Is the uni risotto available during lunch time?

Yes!

Are there happy hour specials?

They just started: Monday through Wednesday all night $1 oysters (minimum 6) and $3 Sapporo. They will add a happy hour menu in about 2 weeks.

I recommend getting their six piece salmon special (it used to be $10-12 but the price has since risen). My personal favorite item is the salmon onion nigiri, the onion pairs nicely with the salmon and I wish this was a more common offering amongst sushi spots. The fried salmon belly is also great, and I've been lucky enough to order it when it's discounted a few times, though I think that's mostly on week days. My only gripe would be how inconvenient ordering is - you order off a digital touch screen at your table/booth, but the screen is attached to the wall over your head, so you have to strain your neck upward to the read the menu and it's pretty strenuous if you want to take your time looking through the menu and deciding what to order.

There is no sushi out in the open that rotates for you to pick out like Kura. This is strictly made to order which is exactly what I like. Every piece of sushi is something you've had but it just taste better. The portions are fresh and quality of ingredients are magnificent. What I also love is they have a Trio of sushi. Whether it's Tuna, Steak, or Salmon... I love the location. It's nestled on the 2nd floor of Tokyo Central which also makes it for those who really really want to go here cause it's not like the signage is extremely easy to see.. Will definitely come back.

I am disappointed in myself for waiting this long to try Ueno Sushi. I've been driving by this location on Carson st for 10 years. It used to be something else (Thai maybe?) before it was a sushi restaurant. I think it was something else before that. I never went here because I thought the food would be mediocre given the history of changes but I was so wrong. SO WRONG! I came here on a Friday night for a party of 1 and while the restaurant was full and many customers were coming in for their reservations, I did not have to wait. The Sashimi Combo 10pc was surprisingly generous. Every single piece of sashimi was huge. I honestly thought they forgot to cut each piece in half lol. It also comes with a bowl of rice, salad, and miso soup. I finished the night with blue fin toro sushi. For those who might find themselves confused like me, this is labeled Sushi on the menu, but it is better labeled as nigiri -- the sashimi on a small ball of rice. It comes with two pieces and the tuna was HUGE. I almost couldn't see the rice! I was blown away by what I was getting but it makes sense given the price I was paying. I was so happy. Overall, great food, wonderful portion sizes. Downside is the pricing but it matches what you're getting. The biggest downside is the parking.

It is eastablished and celebrated by eaters far more articulate and with wider reach than I. But I recently went, and enjoyed myself quite a bit. Not only because the food was incredible but because the staff made me feel like a special patron. My main server was Julian. He was young, attentive and continued the chain of grand service. But there are two other female servers that make the experience pop with above the line service, I wish I knew their name. The first passed me and my companion Conrad and asked how is your mother? All I could say was she was still alive. I took my mom to mother's day there two years ago and she remembered. That kind of service cannot be reproduce because it was held in heart and intention. I was a welcomed guest. I may not go often but when I do I am remembered. That kind attentiivesness is more than appreciated, it is remembered too! The second server when I leave the place meets my eyes, has a grand wide smile, and said something in Japanese that makes me feel seen in Kyoto. I am engaged in a jovial way by the staff here that is why it is a sincere pleasure to buy the kitchen staff a picther so we can Kanpai!. There sweet way with me is something I cannot undervalue because in doing so I would ignore the kind of hospitatlty that moves mountains closer to the sun. And the food is amazing, like so good, it cannot be ignored espeically when the menu went through changes. The reason why that face immediately hit me in the face was because I used to go for these corn tempura things that were like this amazing crunch in corn. But still what we had was wonderul. Like I would hurt back or strain my inner thigh trying to complain about the food in this place. This time around Conrad and I had their Shabu Shabu. I have had Shabu Shabu before (not here) a few times, not many but this was the first time that Conrad had it. And that face in itself is special, I think. So moving on from that, eating Shabu Shabu was engaging cause you basically create a broth that you are using to cook veggies and meat so images of witches and camping come to the mind, easily. I also took a video of Conrad grinding some sesame seeds, like he was an apothecary or doctor of old times. And I do not care who you are, you are going to enjoy working a bit, especially in a fun way, for your meal. Like who would not like to peel a few cloves of garlic for their herbed chicken? The broth came with pork shoulder and pork belly. We also had some meat and onions on stick--- I think we had pork belly and chicken. We also had a rice ball. We also had thier Gobo Chips. This is something that survived the menu transition that hit every crispy bite. It hit every crispy bite. By this point I know that the food will be fantastic, and the type of food that warms the heart and soul- comfort food. However, this, comfort food is not mine to claim by familiarity because I have not known it since childhood. But I have known it enough to know it as comfortable. I guess, I can claim it as familiar because it became such in the span of years, not decades. Like when can someone claim a carne asado taco to be familiar comfort food when they did not grow up eating it? That is the question that I am left to ponder. This place is a spot I know to be good and trust to deliver on service and quality.

A GEM in the South Bay…read more If you're a dodger fan ... you honestly need to stop by because this store is half sushi and half dodgers bobblehead museum. We love coming here. I would call in advance and order your meal. I usually get the combos. Every combo is perfect! It's made to order and it's simply amazing. Love every bite~ you can tell it's made with purpose!

I've lived in the area for a while and have always driven past this little takeout-only sushi spot…read moretucked away in a small plaza. It's definitely one of those hidden hole-in-the-wall places that you might miss if you weren't looking for it. I finally had the chance to give it a try. I ordered the #1, which came with a nice variety of sushi including yellowtail, tuna, mackerel, sweet shrimp, and more. I was surprisingly full by the end of the meal. The quality of the seafood was excellent, and the preparation was done really well. Every piece was enjoyable, and you could tell care went into what they served. The service was warm and friendly--it's a true mom-and-pop shop, and that personal touch really adds to the experience. The pricing was very fair for the quality and portion size. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back again. If you're looking for a quality takeout-only sushi spot that's easy to overlook, this hidden gem is definitely worth checking out.
