    Amazing food and great service! Everything was fresh and delicious, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has a nice, comfortable atmosphere. I really enjoyed my experience at Okane Umi and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    Katsu lunch plate

    Ordered a Katsudon (#11) but order was placed as Katsu Lunch set. The TonKatsu (deep fried pork) was acceptable. Their salad and roll also was good but quantity was a lot. Considering there was only another table (went around 1:30) kitchen service was a snails pace. Ambience was ok. Even though it says Japanese restaurant a lot of their highlighted dishes were various rolls.

    K Dragon Roll
    Yvette M.

    We stopped by for lunch and were warmly greeted as we walked in. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety and descriptions of food on the menu which also included a separate lunch menu. Not being super hungry, we orded two rolls which included the Rainbow Roll and the K Dragon Roll. We really enjoyed both rolls. The fish was so fresh and the flavors amazing. The K Dragon Roll topped with eel was drizzled with the perfect amount of sauce. There is plenty of seating available which also included a bar and what appeared to be a covered patio. It was pretty mellow during the lunch hour on a Friday. We will definitely be back!

    Habanero Salmon Roll! Yum!
    Ian C.

    Me and my sister's family decided to check this place out after a day out at San Pedro. We called ahead and were sat immediately. Our server gave us some recommendations when asked and we were kind of in a time crunch but my sister hasn't had sushi in a while so we ordered a bunch! My main roll was the Habanero Salmon Roll. The sauce had a good kick on it and the fish itself was fresh and delicious! We also had some squid legs and crispy rice tuna both of which were really delicious! The only main reason I had to dock a star was my sisters husband is vegetarian and was recommended a dish that had meat on it (fish flakes). Our server profusely apologized and took the dish off on our bill but unfortunately I still would have to dock a star. Overall though, everything we had was really good! The seating area is huge for bigger parties and really had no complaints aside from the non vegetarian dish. Would definitely come back again if I was in the area!

    Truffle Salmon and Albacore with Crispy Onion
    Bryan L.

    Good food, good service. Casual atmosphere with lots of parking. One of the best spots for sushi or sashimi in the South Bay. It is located off PCH, adjacent to the Rolling Hills Plaza. Inside has lots of small and medium sized tables as well as an outdoor patio. There's a small bar with two tvs if you want to watch sports games or just chat with the chef making sushi rolls. We went for weekend lunch and were seated right away. We were astonished by the great selection of appetizers, rolls, and sashimi. It's almost a bit overwhelming. Fittingly, we ordered a bit of everything. Appetizers: crispy rice with spicy tuna and Takoyaki balls. Each had the perfect amount of crispy and soft. Both were yummy. Rolls: spicy eel tempura. Good flavor with varying textures. Spicy albacore tataki was ok, not my favorite Sashimi: truffle salmon carpaccio probably the best I've ever eaten. Lightly seared with a hint of smoke, a dash of sea salt, and a pinch of truffle oil. Just a unique combination that is truly delicious. Albacore with crispy onion was soft and buttery with a slight sweetness. Service was excellent. Servers are attentive, filled water multiple times and delivered/bussed dishes quickly.

    Spanish Mackerel (Aji) & Salomon Sushi
    Rich G.

    OKane Umi is my goto for the best sushi in the South Bay. They are always on par with the freshness of the fish. I had to order my Aji (Spanish mackerel). They always have an awesome plating for it. Thank you Okane Umi for the best service and the freshest fish!

    Cute little place. You can tell they take pride in keeping it clean and serving up delicious food ! The only thing I was kinda bothered by was there was only 1 server and he seemed really overwhelmed.. him being alone made him impersonal... BUT the food was great and I can't wait to go back !! Want fresh & beautiful sushi, Okane Umi is it !

    The food was good. Service was great. We came in a little late but overall very attentive to us and gave us a little extra time to order even though kitchen was about to close.

    Disgusting, food in our drinking water.

    I brought an issue to the manager's attention after noticing there was food floating in both of our drinking cups. Instead of addressing it professionally, he became immediately defensive and rude. I showed him my girlfriend's cup and then mine, both clearly contaminated. He used his phone light to inspect the cup, then dumped the water out and pushed the empty cup back toward me, demanding that I show him where the food was. At that point, it felt more like he was trying to challenge me than actually help resolve the situation. He also implied we were trying to get free food, which was frustrating and completely untrue. When he asked if it was our first time there, I said no, and he responded with "I've never seen you here before," which felt dismissive and irrelevant. We showed him the sushi we had ordered, which my girlfriend couldn't even finish because she was so disgusted. Instead of apologizing or trying to fix the situation, he told us to leave. No apology, no accountability just a confrontational attitude. Definitely not the kind of service you expect when bringing up a legitimate concern about cleanliness.

    The food is very delicious and fresh! The service was great and couldn't be more happier with the nice calm atmosphere. Definitely plan on coming back!

    A must try!! So fresh and delicious just mind blowing !! I'm still Service was amazing as well, nice little restaurant, just a great experience overall.

    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?…

    Do they have all you can eat sushi?

    Sorry, Our restaurant is individual. However, our food prices are reasonable. Even products prices are increasing credibility, we keep our food prices same as before and quality is competitive others. If you tried our fish dishes, you will agree… 

    Is the sushi fresh?

    Definitely

He LOVES yakitori and we were looking forward to trying this place as there is a lack of authentic yakitori around where we live and have to travel (mostly) to South Bay. It is a small restaurant and reservations are highly recommended. Since we sat by the entrance, every group that walked in I can hear they have a reservation. Two parties arrived where they were turned away or told to come back at 9pm. The first thing we noticed was the grill was nowhere in sight. We are used to having yakitori being cooked in or near the dining room but this one has it located inside the kitchen. The negative with this is that the cook won't be able to visually see where each customer is at with their food and our skewers ended up coming out pretty quickly one after another. In regard to the food, I have never seen grilled pork feet on a menu before so I had to order it. Wow, it was better than I imagined. I'm used to having it boiled or braised so it being grilled was new to me. The skewers that come sauced were lacking flavor; the skewers with salt is definitely better. I also appreciate the cook being able to accommodate our request on how cooked we wanted a couple of the skewers. We agreed it was a pretty good yakitori spot and will come back again. It was unfortunate I was too stuffed to try their rice ball and will have to try it next time. Also to note, if you're sitting at the bar just be careful if you have drinks. The ledge where your serving plate sits on is tilted. I had to leave my drink on the flat surface to keep it from tilting. Another patron unfortunately had his beer spilled on him due to the tilt. I'm not sure if there is some sort of bumper the restaurant can place on that ledge to avoid future accidents.

You are allotted 90 minutes, they do a last call 30 minutes before your end time. Yakitori Nishi is situated in an unsuspecting plaza with a hole in the wall feel. As you enter and are seated you're transported to a yakitori bar filled with the smells of charcoal and a vivacious ambiance. If you are not a selective eater, I highly recommend trying every skewer they have! My friend and I ordered the pork belly, chicken meatball, quail egg, chicken thigh with green onion, fried tofu, zucchini, fried onigiri (grilled rice ball), and the potato (with butter). There were also specials off menu - we tried the chicken sasami which was incredibly tender. All the skewers were seasoned so well and the charcoal made a huge difference in the experience. We did pair our proteins with the onigiri and potato which filled us up. There were condiments to complement the skewers - Japanese spice powder, yuzu kosho, vinegar, and soy sauce. I pretty much had the yuzu kosho with everything. I'm not sure if there was something wrong with their AC, but it was quite hot in there! After a while you get used to it and adds to the authenticity of enjoying a yakitori on a hot summer evening in Japan.

With Showa-era music playing in the background, there's a genuine sense of history and tradition. They have an excellent sake selection and some unique dishes from the taisho (chef).
