    1/2 size crab. We paid about $45?
    Sarah Y.

    It's a small, unassuming spot on Redondo Beach Pier that appears to be very popular among locals. We visited on 12/23/22 evening-the Friday before Christmas Eve and day and thankfully, had made a reservation prior. I made the reservation the Wednesday before and the only time slot they were able to give us for dinner time was 7pm. When we arrived about 15 minutes earlier than our reservation time, they were still kind enough to seat us, though they stated that they wouldn't be able to take our orders for food until our reservation time which was more than fair. They were still able to take our drink orders though There were numerous space heaters throughout the restaurant which I appreciated. It's small, but clean and bustling We got the crab (1/2 size as it was only two of us), sausage, and numerous other dishes. Everything was great! I liked the crab and felt like the portion relative to the value wasn't bad at all. It's still crab and it's still market price so don't expect a cheap deal, but for what it was, I couldn't complain. Sausage and crispy tuna was amazing. Steak was good. Everything was good. The only thing that was slightly disappointing and lackluster was the nigiri sushi and the yellow tail rolls. The rice was very bland and the sushi tasted similar to Ralph's sushi. Not necessarily bad, but we were hoping for better considering the fact that we were dining in and paying more. Service was hospitable and warm and they checked in on us just enough. I would come back .)

    I read a a review about this restaurant awhile ago and it's been on my to-do list ever since. Finally made our way to the Redondo Pier (much nicer than I remember) and stopped in for dinner. We scored a window table (arrive early before they are filled) with a great view and ordered a combination of sushi and sashimi. We've been eating sushi/sashimi for 30+ years so we're hard graders. In a nutshell, this place met all of our expectations. Fresh food, thoughtfully prepared with attentive service. OB has moved off my to-do list and onto my short list of go-to South Bay sushi restaurants.

    One of My favorite restaurants in LA. The whole crab is a must-try !! If you're a seafood lover, highly recommend this place!

    moments before dissaster ‍‍‍ u can see the nasty chunky  icecream

    Nasty old food!!!!! i came here 7/14/23 in the night with my friend. we stopped to get soft serve icecream which was supper expensive for that lil ass cone. Anyways we got it, i vanilla and her chocolate. when i got mines it looked odd, chunky almost. i took a bite and to my suprise it tasted like old sour milk!!!!!!! This is unacceptable service, i expect more from a buissness that has been up for so long. This icecream made me have the worst stomach ache in my life!!!!!!! no kidding, i threw up all my food when i got home. On me y'all need to fix that up before i get food services on u guys. Super disappointed ‍ i need my 9 dollars back (manager message me) fosters freeze is better smh ‍

    Lobster Spring Rolls with a delicious sweet sauce!
    Crystal G.

    My friend and I ate here and had fries, Dodger dogs, gyoza, shrimp fried rice, lobster spring rolls and teriyaki Buffalo wings. Everything was sooooo good! We sat outside in front of a tv that was playing the Dodger game! That was awesome that they were playing it! They also had an outdoor heater for us and they did not mind that I had my teacup Yorkie on my lap. Their large drafts of Sapporo were $6 which was a great price!!! Great service from out waitress, too!!! I will definitely go back to this place in the future!!!

    I love how this sushi place is on the pier. I frequent this place normally at night. The staff is friendly. Sushi tastes great. It can be quite hot during the summer, but you are on the beach, so summer nights are the best. Sushi tastes fresh. My favorites are the Yellowtail and green onion roll, the Dynamite & the Oyster Shooter. These are definitely my ultra favorites. I normally order: Fatty Tuna, yellowtail, inari, salmon, albacore, California roll, and sweet shrimp sushi. They have a large selection of sake and Japanese beer. I normally order the large sake. The price is not too bad, but it'll be worth the money. The Redondo Beach Pier has a big parking area, but we mainly take Uber to this establishment. They have about 2 -3 Sushi chefs on site, so there is never a long wait after you place your order. We normally sit at the sushi bar and try to come during non-peak hours (weekday nights)

    Tempura
    Marisa N.

    Went to Oriental Breeze Sunday night. The food was delicious. So much flavor. Prices were very reasonable considering it's on the pier. Ordered the tempura and shrimp fried rice. Was so good. I can't wait to go back and have dinner there again. You can sit inside or eat outside. Take a pick. Try it for yourself and check it out.

    Green tea swirl!
    Amanda V.

    Exterior = 5/5 This is located out on the pier, so you would need to park on the street or in the parking structure to get here. It's a stall that you can identify with their ice cream cone they hang outside off their roof. You know when you see it, you are getting close to something yummy. Interior = 3/5 There is no interior, it's a stall between restaurants. There are some tables you can sit at, directly next to the location. If those are full, you can find seating in the form of benches and tables further out on the pier. Service = 5/5 Service is quick, they are able to get what you want fast - pretty straight and too the point. I usually go at night for a nice stroll along the pier and have no issues getting my order. Order = 5/5 Green tea swirl in a cone: 5/5 This is my favorite treat along the pier and it might be one of my favorite green tea soft serves, especially for the price and quantity that they give. The vanilla and green tea go well together. One flavor doesn't overpower the other, if anything the vanilla makes the green tea a bit sweeter and lighter. The green tea itself isn't too strong and is refreshing. The cone is a cake cone but shaped like a waffle cone (if that makes sense). I find that the tip of the cone tends to be prone to leaking after some time, so bring some napkins along and be ready to manage all drips! Overall = 4/5 Location is great for a nice walk whether alone or with company. Price isn't killer and the quality is great. It's one of those simple joys kind of thing where it just makes sense. Hint = get the swirl. Not the solo flavors...the swirl. Make sure to grab napkins too in case your cone leaks. Also for a date, grab some cones and head further down the pier to watch the sunset.

    Matcha Green Tea & Vanilla ice cream cone
    Jackie C.

    The matcha green tea/vanilla swirl ice cream is very delicious here! The cone is just alright, but the soft serve ice cream is pretty good! The ice cream is $3. This place also has food, drinks and other desserts. Some drinks that they have are coffees, teas and sodas. Matcha green tea and vanilla are the only ice cream soft serve flavors that they have. Oriental Breeze is a little take-out place on the Redondo Beach Pier. It is kind of hard to find, so just walk around until you see it. It is near other food places and little shops. There is parking in the structure (but you have to pay) and there are also parking meters near by. I would recommend this place to other people if they are getting the soft serve ice cream.

    Went here with my family, bought a few rolls and a beer. Decided to eat outside. It was nice and all, they had a tv by outdoor dinning table. BUT THE DOWNFALL AND BAD THING IS THAT, when I decided to ask to use the restroom for my children they immediately decided to Denise entry. Then I said ok, we can switch our visit from outdoor to indoor and I can purchase more things to make it worth it. Well, they immediately said NO we can't do that! Lol well I don't understand why when I just spent my money here and was willing to spend more. Is it because we were brown and not asian? They seem to have a preference in race! I don't recommend coming here! This behavior is not ok!

What was most disappointing was how rushed the service felt. About an hour into the meal, staff repeatedly tried to clear plates that we were still eating from, and we had to tell them more than once that we were not finished. After asking whether we wanted more drinks and hearing that we were fine, they brought the bill almost immediately, which made it feel like they were trying to push us out. Meanwhile, other tables that arrived before us were still comfortably dining and talking. We had also ordered more than enough food--honestly more than several other tables around us--so there was no reason for our table to be rushed out. Most restaurants typically allow at least a two-hour dining window, yet we ended up leaving in just about one hour because the pressure to leave was so obvious. Ironically, the food was actually excellent, but the staff's behavior completely overshadowed the meal and made it hard to even remember how good the food was. Since this was noted as a special occasion, the experience felt especially disappointing. Rather than feeling welcomed, we felt pressured to leave. Would not recommend this place for a birthday or any special occasion.

We also ordered a Yaki Onichazuke as well Shochu Yuzu with Soda and Cream Soda. From the skewers, my favorite were the Chicken Thigh, Chicken Meatballs, Oyster Mushroom with Truffle and Pork Belly with Okura. The skewers were perfectly grilled and were full of smoky and savory flavor. The meat was tender and juicy. I also enjoyed the Cream Soda. I loved the sweet, fizzy and creaminess. It had the right hint of vanilla. Last but not least was the Yaki Onichazuke. This consisted of a grilled rice ball in homemade chicken soup, green onions and dried seaweed. The chicken broth was heartwarming and flavorful. It enhanced the crispy yaki onigori. It was the perfect bowl of warmth and umami. Hasu Japanese Izakaya & Grill offers comfort food elevated! I really enjoyed the little skewers that were perfect for sharing and over drinks and conversation.

In fact, I think the food quality is slightly better qnd once again, less wait time to be served. There is a server by the name of Oswaldo at this location that's exceptional kind and helpful and is worth driving down to Gardena just to be served by him. Oswaldo is always smiling and genuinely eager to accommodate you. The servers at the Fountain Valley location are strict & militant, like soup nazis. Their rules are somewhat rigid and you couldn't even open the door to the restaurant to use the restroom without an approval from one of the workers. You were pretty much told what to do and where to sit for your meal. This Gardena location is slightly larger in space and not as tight and stuffy. And the best part, they serve Yakitori for lunch during the weekdays and weekends. Their hours seem to be more flexible. Hands down; Gardena's location is all round the best in my opinion. Maybe it because it's the original location. Trust me, I've been to the West L.A. location too and it was my least favorite location of the 3.

Sadly we were so excited to eat everything I forgot to take pictures of our food. But we'll be back for sure!
