I can't believe this rating is this low! Where I put it, is it's a nice neighborhood spot. It's not as good as the top in Manhattan Beach, which are KatsuYa, SugarFish and Roku, but it's a good neighborhood spot, with reasonably priced lunch specials. It doesn't deserve the rating it has, it should be higher, and businesses like this who have been around for decades, deserve neighborhood support. So, I have a new rating system......I will write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work." read more

Good! Was craving spicy tuna rolls. I usually only eat at Nobu but O-Sho did the trick for a quick fix in Manhattan Beach. Owner/Sushi Chef Hiro is super nice. Fast service. Fine ambiance. Ordered 2 rolls which were really like 3. Took the rest to go as I could not finish. I would return. :) read more

O-Sho Sushi - Spicy Tuna! - Japanese Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Idk I have been going here for 25 years . Nothing has changed. The decor. Is the same not much has changed but they got a new flatscreen tv . It's very quiet for many can be a good thing .I remember getting good portion of sashimi and sushi . When we ordered I look at it and said where's the rest of it . It was good but the prices have gone up significantly. We will try it again maybe I was having an off day read more

Food was authentic and delicious and so fresh! I was taken here for my birthday and the lunch specials are simply out of this world! I love the set up of this restaurant too! read more

O-Sho Sushi - Menu cover - Japanese Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Osho is the BEST sushi in the South Bay, hands-down. I always check their specials whiteboard posted above the sushi bar to see what daily catches they have ! The fish is always fresh. I love the cucumber calamari salad; it is light and refreshing. The spicy yellowtail handroll is the best one I have ever had. The fish is excellent and the taste speaks for itself, not covered in mayo like a lot of other local places... This is a family run restaurant and still has most of the same staff they've had for the passed 30 years. It is not the cheapest place in town, but it is priced fairly considering the quality is excellent and very fresh. I highly recommend. The soft shell crabbed is also something special ! read more

O-Sho Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I'm a big sushi fan and this one is close to where I work so I decided to try it out. The reviews are not great but above average. I did enjoy it and had a mixed plate with salmon teriyaki, brown rice($1.50 extra), shrimp/vege tempura and miso soup which was lukewarm and below average. Total cost with a Sprite and tip was $40. read more

O-SHO is perfect. The food is always fresh, delicious and generous. Chef Hiro goes to buy excellent sushi cuts daily and has a discerning eye. My family has been coming for years and I dine here once or twice a month at lunch and dinner. A real Japanese style restaurant catering to all preferences, they are a family run business who cares about their local customers. The service is on point, the ambiance is relaxed and clean, and the food is always delicious and very reasonably priced. read more

My taste buds were set in their ways the moment I woke up: "WE WANT A BENTO BOX LUNCH!" Heard it loud and clear. I kinda have go-to places already for this, but kinda wanted to try a new place, so thanks to our ever so dependable Yelp, the search was pretty easy. Had a bit of time for a work lunch break, and after a quick famish-causing errand, I found myself parking on their private lot in no time. EDAMAME: I felt I wanted a starter, to wake up the taste buds a bit. This was a good one. Good salt level, easy eats. But nothing to call home about. It was average at best, but a good starter nonetheless. MACKEREL SUSHI: A must have whenever I see it on the menu. It had that very familiar metallic, vinegarish fishy taste that I like. Almost served as a palate cleanser. Delish! LUNCH SPECIAL D: Comes with miso soup and salad. Salad was fresh and didn't drown in the dressing. Miso was pretty hearty and the flavor wasn't overpowering. I didn't learn the fish was teriyaki salmon until it was too late (for the record, not really a fan of teriyaki anything.) But I didn't wanna knock I until I try it. It really wasn't bad! Fish was grilled moist, flaky and tasty. If anything, I'd come back for this sans the sauce and sub with simple salt and pepper. The tempura batter was a little thick and bland for my taste. Dipping them in the tempura sauce didn't help as it was under seasoned as well. The soy sauce fixed that a bit, but they were average at best. The iced green tea was a refreshing way to wash it all down. FOOD: 3.5. SERVICE: 4. VALUE: 3.5. PARKING: Street parking and Private lot shared with a few businesses. Not an issue on a Friday lunch rush. OVERALL: 3.75. Now on my radar. It's now in the hat of bento box places I can choose from. Better than average first run. read more

The restaurant is in need of being updated and refreshed. The food was good and the 911 roll was the best. It's a popular location in the community and many regulars were dining while we were there for our first time. It would be nice to have plastic chopsticks and cloth napkins to make the experience seem to be more upscale. read more

Seven years later and I have the same disappointment all over again where they don't have chirashi for dinner, but learned they do have it for lunch. It was a pick up order and the person checking me out was nice. Got the spicy salmon roll and dragon roll. Both were okay, but again nothing really all that special. At least that is consistent with my review from 7 years ago (forgot I wrote one). read more

A little Japanese restaurant on Sepulveda Blvd. in Manhattan Beach has been at this location for many years. The good ...huge portions. We each ordered combination dinners which could have been shared between 2 people. Reasonable prices for the amount of food. Our dinners were about $20 each for the 3 items including soup and rice. The not so good...food was mediocre. Tempura batter was thick and soggy and beef a little tough. Chicken teriyaki was ok. Service was cordial. Not too many diners for a Saturday night. Sushi bar was pretty empty. Place seemed clean with parking out front. Not the best Japanese food, but edible. read more

I went to this place for lunch and I really wanted to like it. However, I feel like I ordered the wrong items. I got a $12.50 chicken udon and a $3.50 iced tea. The udon was very salty and not very visually appealing; I think it could use some more color. I would have preferred to pay more for an "upgraded" udon with more toppings. The iced tea was very standard and since I don't usually order iced tea, I wasn't expecting it to be just average. Despite the restaurant being very busy with families during lunch, the service was fast. 3.5 stars for my dining experience today. read more

In a strip mall . Tricky parking but worth it . Both times we had the lunch specials . Tempura was light and tasty . Very affordable and worth the drive from Orange County. read more

Been going here since I was a little kid with my family. still holds the same friendliness and quality after all these years.

Been going here for years back when bob owned it right through till now, no one does Sushi like oceans. They're 911's are delicious and Crunchyroll the best I've had anywhere. Do sushi a lot and a lot of different places locally and out of the area and I always come back to Osho's as my favorite. Staff is warm and welcoming and professional. They are helpful and explaining anything and customizing anything. Parking can be a bit of a booger but well worth it.. during the week it's a bit quieter and you can have a nice conversation with your sushi chefs! we have a lot of great memories there our family we continue to make more in fact we went last week and we'll go again this week. There's something there for everyone even if you don't like sushi their plates the teriyaki are delicious. The fish is always fresh. The portion sizes are generous and you never be that hungry. The car is clean and simple prices are on average with other sushi places, but I feel the quality the staff atmosphere are cut above. read more

My favorite sushi bar for 25+ years! I have eaten sushi all over the world and that includes Japan! I keep running back to O-sho because the fish is very fresh and satisfying to me! No frills place but who cares when it's that good! read more

Hiro is a nice and engaging Japanese chef. It is a treat to dine at O-Sho. I especially like the portion size. I have a big appetite. At times my wife and I share one dinner. read more

I come here only for lunch. Great value for the price. Steak and salmon are decent quality and size. I always leave feeling 200% full. Customer service is average. I had no issues. Just wish they open longer for lunch. read more

O-Sho Sushi - a plate of meat, rice, and salad - Japanese Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Sushi just ok; cleanness questionable, walked in at 4:55; 5 minutes before dinner hours, place was empty, tables dirty. Lady used a rag that is sitting on the counter collecting germs. Service was also poor. Wouldn't recommend read more

These folks are complete jerks. Sincerely, I order sushi two times a day. Every place I've been I've had a favorite sushi spot, always amazing people I meet. These people were seriously rude and the sushi is not up to par, nothing like Rock n Roll sushi. I won't be eating at this place again. If they can't appreciate a good customer, they don't deserve a good customer. Amateurs. read more

It's hard to believe that it was my first time ever at O-Sho Sushi. I have seen this location many times and have heard about it from my co-workers but it was only recently I got to check out when I had lunch with a co-worker. They have great lunch combos that are just $11.25. I opted to get the Chicken Teriyaki with California rolls. The lunch special comes with a green salad, rice and your choice of entrees. Overall though the lunch special was a pretty good deal. The green salad was small but tasty. I found the chicken teriyaki to have sweet and tender meat. The California rolls were also small in size but overall good on flavor. I enjoyed my lunch here and do think for the price; it's well worth it. The food is tasty and traditional and would be willing to come again. read more

O-Sho Sushi - Receipt - Japanese Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Great sushi, good quality and reasonably priced. Has always had a great reputation and a casual atmosphere.

I've been going here more and I have to say it's grown on me. The service is always very friendly, the food is consistently good and prices are fair. It's much more convenient to park here and it's easier to get a table and I know I'm always get something good, it's a place to bring the family and they even have a TV where you can watch the dodger game. Overall, this is worth five stars as a local Japanese restaurant that specializes in sushi. read more

Amazing they do a great job at this place it's always consistent and always fresh,Hiro the owner is such a great guy. I highly recommend this place. read more

The food here is great and the price is really reasonable.I got the Kin which came with soup,salad,gyoza, vegetable tempura, shrimp tempura,and salmon. I really liked the salmon and the portion was generous.The tempura was a little cold when it arrived but not a big deal. The service kind of threw us off as the gentleman was really friendly but the lady server never said a word even after thanking her twice. The restaurant itself was empty when we arrived but soon became almost full. It is a pretty small restaurant,so I'm glad we got there before the crowd did. There's not much parking in the front as it's shared with other local stores but you can find street parking. So if it weren't for the cold tempura and the lady server not responding or not even trying to be friendly it would be a 5 stars. read more

Terrible service. DONE! Was a regular here (2x /mo) for about 10 years because I wanted to support them as a local business, but just can't anymore. They often do not answer their phone when they are open so do not count on placing a take out order by phone. The last straw was when they turned us away when we walked in and asked to place a to go order. Hostess (who has seen us regularly for many years) just stated they were too busy for to go orders - when only half the restaurant's tables were full. read more

O Sho has been my go to sushi bar for 40 years. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Especially love the 911 spicy tuna roll, the scallops sashimi from the blackboard menu, The Krispy Rice roll, (love that 911 sauce, but it doesn't love me so much), the seaweed salad, the garden salad, everything is good. They have great combination lunches and dinners, and the sushi chefs will make you whatever you want. I even saw Larry Bird at the sushi bar one night. read more

One of my GOTO sushi or sashimi spots. The food is delish. Try the UDON or Tempura etc... They carry my favorite, Ume plum cut roll with mint leaf. Ssssooo yummy. Its different but so am I. read more

Lately see people complaining about price increases...!! Hello! Did they just wake up to realize that here is no different if we want them to stay in business? Maybe those folks would start a business to lose $. Enough of that though. Love this place obviously so I try to come here as much as possible for their great sushi when in town. If people want cheap and not so hood buy sushi from Costco. Keep it up read more

This little gem has been in Manhattan Beach for as long as I can remember. Used to eat here like 15 years ago but for some reason forgot about it. Starting going again during COVID. Great food and priced very well. Specially the lunch meals are very affordable for the food you get. Has become a weekly lunch spot for me again. read more

Man, we used to eat here sometimes twice a week back in the day, and although the lunch special doubled in price, it's still cheaper then a fast food combo. It's funny when i read that people are complaining of the prices here when you get so much for the money. Basically the original lunch special was a small green salad, a small cup of rice, tempura with the vegies of the day (usually, sweet potato or pumpkin, green bean, mushroom, sometimes round onion) which are pretty much the standard tempura vegies, chicken teri which isn't a tiny portion, it's pretty hefty, miso (soy bean soup), and i think it's about 12.75 i think. It's a bargain, and i think a dollar for a couple of pot stickers (possibly back in the day the two gyoza was included in the lunch special). They have another special now with steak and it adds two shrimp to the tempura for like 13.75 or something close to that. It's the typical japanese diner tasting teri steak, and it's great for the price. Sometimes you get the fat on the steak though, so chicken is i think the better deal, but either way, i've had fast food that cost more then this. And why i give this place 5 stars, ok sure you can find better japanese restaurants, the gohan (rice) could be better, but at these prices at least this place is authentic japanese, the tempura tastes like tempura, you get tempura sauce with it, the potstickers or gyoza i've had better, but it's only a dollar or something to add 2 pieces and you get the side of shoyu/vinegar (typical potsticker sauce in japanese restaurants). And to top it off, when i have a craving for a particular nigiri sushi, i just get a few pieces here, it's just quick and convenient, and guess what, it tastes fine. i haven't had a bad tasting nigiri sushi here and that's over 20 years of coming here. It's very old school run japanese dinerish sushi bar, i still love it. Guess the only thing i hate is the parking, which can suck so come early or come after the first wave is done. Oh and my picture doesn't do it justice, it's hard to see all the tempura you get, this plate i got had the two shrimp and vegetable tempura and just grilled chicken. Instead of teriyaki sauce on it, i got ponzu which is a soy/citrus sauce and normally like it with daikoroshi (grated daikon mixed with ponzu). The chicken is good that way, but unfortunately they dont do the grated daikon. So the sauce in the middle was just ponzu. You get a side green salad with it, and tempura sauce on the side to dip your tempura in. Once a travelling couple from france was eating there before their flight back and they didn't know what the tempura sauce was, and was thinking they needed to drink it like soup lol. Ok please don't do that. read more

Our go to lunch place. The lunch special is always delicious. I love the creamy scallop roll and teriyaki lunch and my mom gets the tempura and a roll. Consistent food and service, they've never messed up an order. If I lived nearby, I'd eat there at least once a week. read more

My first time at o-sho sushi was with a hospitable brother. We opted for omakase since we sat at the bar top; the sushi chef did not disappoint. He was attentive, explained which cuts of fish we received, and did not rush us at all during the dinner service. There was a louder group of people doing sake bombs for a celebration, but the overall ambiance in the restaurant was zen. Overall, the seafood was fresh and had me yearning for the next plate to come. Highly recommend the place. read more

The food delicious and the service very good can't wait to go back yummy . Service amazing

Unfortunately don't have photos but first time ordering pick up here and I loved it. Everything tested fresh and was perfectly balanced. I got the miso salmon and it was delicious, came with rice on the side. I also got the tuna poppers and salmon avocado - would recommend both. On the pricier side, but worth it for the quality. read more

Disappointed with their meals lately ie.take out. First they increased their prices and secondly the quality of the food has decreased. Found a hair in my shrimp tempura and a container wasn't tightly closed and thus spilled all over my food. So bummed as they used to be top notch - maybe as a result of the pandemic the quality of food is poor. I hope they get better in time. read more

Decent sushi restaurant that is conveniently located away from The Strand area. Also the restaurant is operated by a Japanese family something rarely seen these days since so many people have started doing Japanese style sushi.The rolls and sushi are good. Some of the chef's specialties a re hit and miss. I had the halibut collar which was ok. It is served with ponzu sauce but still a little bland. I prefer my fish collars basted with teriyaki sauce and run through a salamander or baked in the oven. Also had a miso soup and a sushi roll which are good. The restaurant is cozy and has a sushi bar. The staff is nice and I like them. I can see how this place attracts regulars. They are my go to when I don't want to drive far. Like more than a mile since they are pretty much on Sepulveda and Manhattan Beach Blvd. Good, clean Japanese sushi in Manhattan Beach. read more
