    Service and ambiance is always amazing here. Plenty of room to sit and dog friendly. Good for quick sushi fix great appetizers.

    Ninja Roll (Chan), Golden California Roll
    Jennifer L.

    Osaka story has become my new favorite place in Long Beach to get sushi rolls! Sushi rolls nowadays tend to be $18-20 for a specialty roll anywhere (inflation!) but the rolls here are huge - excellent portion size! We tried the Mango Tango roll, Golden California roll, and Ninja roll - all delicious, but our favorite was definitely the Mango Tango roll! Light, refreshing, and the sweetness of the mango went really well with the salmon. Would definitely order it again! The menu is very extensive with a ton of specialty roll options as well as other things like hot rice plates, ramen, and even yubu. There's something here for everyone! We came on a Sunday at 12 and got seated very quickly, and we were lucky as a line started forming around 12:15 for indoor seating. Our food also came out very quickly after we placed our order. The inside of the restaurant is pretty dimly lit - feels like a nice intimate setting. Overall would recommend if you're looking for delicious sushi rolls in Long Beach!

    The Menu Has So Many Amazing Options!

    Met some friends and we were hungry. So we went to Belmont Shore (a part of Long Beach) and walked right into Osaka Story. Greeted by a very friendly hostess and there was not wait. So we were seated right away. It's a cozy restaurant with strong wooden tables and chairs. The menu has a wide array of traditional Japanese food and drink items as well as some fun California fusion foods. Our waitress took our food orders and you can watch the chefs make the meals. Literally see them curate fresh fish and shellfish into sushi, sashimi and/or hand rolls. Fun music is heard on the speakers of the restaurant. The restrooms are very clean too! I will definitely return to this amazing restaurant!

    Returned for lunch and had Gustavo as the waiter. He did a superb job with the order and checking on the table a few times. The Geisha Roll and Uni Hand Roll were both excellent choices.

    Rainbow Roll! Classic and yummy

    I enjoyed my food got a rainbow roll, miso soup and sake and a Shirley temple ! Came for lunch and the roll was so filling. Servers were attentive and food came quickly. The ambiance was pleasant I sat outside and enjoyed the view!

    Food and service were great. We came here years ago when they first opened in the neighborhood. We ate here for xmas eve dinner and not much to choose from but it was delicious. Now! Wow! The menu is very extensive like basically like Cheesecake Factory menu long. We went Mother's Day and it wasn't busy for lunch. That was good for us! I love that they have kids menu. If you have someone in your party who doesn't like sushi then there are tons of non sushi options. I order 2 rolls. I didn't need wasabi or soy sauce for any of them because they add so much flavor to them. I loved my aloha roll. Also loved the black mamba roll but I wasn't expecting it taste sweet. I have ordered rolls w mango in the past and they never taste sweet. However, having it sweet wasn't a bad thing I just wasn't expecting it. Will definitely comeback again. There are so many sushi places on 2nd street but this place is the best hands down. This will be my go to place for sushi since it's in my neighborhood.

    Chicken Yaki-Udon
    Morgan H.

    A massive menu, friendly service and delicious sushi is what Osaka Story is all about. They're located in a prime spot on 2nd street and the atmosphere is casual. Portions are pretty substantial and our group shared a variety of items. Edamame, gyoza and cucumber salad were all tasty starters. My bf and I split the Chicken Yaki-Udon and the Holiday Roll but both were so large that we could have just split one. The quality was there in all of the dishes.

    Chef's Special Sashimi
    Yvette M.

    This wasn't our original destination for a girls lunch, but it ended up being a great choice. We dined outside and ordered a variety of appetizers, rolls, and Sashimi. The group loved the cucumber salad and ordered a second. The Crispy Spicy Tuna was delicious along with the Shishito Peppers and edamame. We shared the Chef's Special Sashimi platter which comes with miso soup and a side salad. I also tried the Salmon and Tuna hand rolls. The server, Gustavo, was great and dropped off a plate of complimentary tempura fried salmon. Awesome service and delicious food!

    As of 2025, this has been one of my favorite sushi spots in Long Beach, I haven't explored too much this year being that this is the closest to me but I really like the quality of their rolls and the freshness. I've been here two times in the last 6 months and it hasn't disappointed. In fact, their service was outstanding too, the waiter would always check on us. Inside its well decorated and dimmed, outside there's a handful of tables if you want a cool breeze and want to people watch. Diving into their menu, there's a plethora of sushi options and it's not limited at sushi, there's a lot of entrees! The crunch roll is hands down of my favorite crunch rolls I've had in Socal. It's soo good! The chicken karaage is decent, just little chicken nuggets, not your average karaage.

    spicy tuna roll
    Criss N.

    Came here for a happy hour lunch. I thought it was a good deal for all of the food we got. I got some gyoza, a rainbow roll, and a spicy tuna roll. It's not the best sushi, but definitely not bad, and it was very affordable.

    Great food of course but what stands out for me is the service. In this day and age where a lot of the (corporate chain) restaurants seem to favor very few servers on the floor this restaurant does a great job with team coverage. There is always someone around to order from or request (more wasabi) things from. And the food is delicious. Nice cozy mix of inside and outside seating as this is on the wonderful Second Ave. Belmont Shore. Really nothing I would change

    5/25 menu
    Helen K.

    Late review from 5/27/25. Stopped by for lunch with family. Plus we found parking! Close by too! Cute little place. Ordered many items which we shared. Tried to take pics before someone started serving themselves. Thought this was odd, but the waiter kept telling us things would take a long time as there was only one sushi chef... ok we're willing to wait(?) Several of us order nigiri individuals. We were all very pleased. Shared 1) special sashimi sushi platter/box. A variety of really tasty & fresh sashimi. 2) Baked scallop special. Really yummy loaded with scallops atop. 3)Geisha roll-another winner 4) a roll with a crispy rice layer. My son & his gf order all the time & make this at home. Also a winner. We really enjoyed this place & the sushi/sashimi. The service was kind of odd, but the food was great! Will stop by with my gfs to check out more items. Plus we need sake & soju.

    The food presentation and service here are always on point. Parking is, of course, quite difficult along 2nd but as long as you don't mind a little bit of a stroll there will always be some options (even non-metered spots along the park about a block away). As for the food, everything I have had here has been delicious and of good quality. My favorites are the no-rice rolls; specifically the Protein and Orange Bikini. They have an expansive menu that would be good for groups and seem to have regulars that keep coming back for more--understandably!

    Lunch with some friends and this was their pick. It was a great one and I was very pleased with it…read more The parking was a little confusing as there was construction going on in the back area where parking and the front entrance is. It shares parking with a couple other business and the entrance is just off the alleyway off Carson. Construction in the back did halt some of the parking spaces and entrance on one side. I didn't know where the entrance was walking around the block which found out later that the entrance was where parking is. I believe you could get on the waitlist but it was still early during lunch time when we arrived that it wasn't necessary. The restaurant itself isn't that big. A good amount of Asian modern style seating. Menu is pretty limited but gets down to the punch. Ramen, a couple of rice dishes and starters. Basically it. They had some alcoholic drink options too. We started off with some beers, the crispy chicken which was really nice. Thick chunks of thighs lightly deep fried and served with a dipping sauce. Juicy and tender. Entrees, the tonkatsu which you could make into a combo that comes with a side salad, and with salmon poke bowl or spicy tuna bowl for an additional fee. The broth for the ramen was quite tasty and paired really well with everything that added to it. And very filling. Also had the pork rice bowl with pork chashu, green onions, poached egg, spinach on top of rice. That was quite tasty and filling as well. There's a small and large option. Lastly the vegan ramen with sesame miso broth, broccolini, corn, bean sprouts, soy meat, tofu, baby kale with chili oil. Food was quite tasty and very filling. Service was great with friendly staff. Didn't take long for the items to arrive. The place isn't that big so it does get busy.

We ordered via third party app because the preparation of the poke sounded intriguing and different. The food came in cute packaging. When we opened the containers, in my opinion there was too much rice/quinoa to fish portion. I did enjoy the taste of the poke. It had bits of sour notes from the apple dressing, which is different from what you normally order with poke. The avocado balances out the sourness. And the poke surprisingly pairs well with quinoa. The pork buns were really delicious! It has that umami taste you look for when eating pork. The meat was very tender - easy to bite and chew. The bun was nice and soft - had good texture. And the onions that came on it was good. You don't get that oniony, bitter taste that lingers in your mouth. Overall, I enjoyed the food. Poke was good but idk if I'd order it again because the rice-fish portions are off. But I definitely need to try the ramen cos I know that's what they're known for.

We ordered the vegan bun as well as two bowls of ramen, one was made vegetarian and the other was shrimp and chicken (blanking on the name). Both were phenomenal, super filling, and flavorful. My only issue is that the broth wasn't piling hot, so it cooled down and thickened up pretty quickly for mine (shrimp and chicken ramen). I will definitely be back here if I'm in the area and it's late!

    If you're looking for a solid Thai spot in Long Beach, this has become one of our family's feel…read moregood go to places. Every dish we've tried has been full of flavor and genuinely worth ordering. Surprisingly, compared to other Thai spots, it's usually not overly packed and honestly I'm almost scared to say that because I don't want it to change. The service has always been great, the food comes out quickly, and the portions/prices feel reasonable. So far, our favorites have been the pad see ew, tom yum soup (medium spice), egg fried rice, fried calamari and the beef BBQ which was so good we immediately ordered a second plate. The mango sticky rice is also really good, but the portion is on the smaller side, so we ended up getting two orders since one plate is hard to share with more than 2-3 people. Parking has been easy for us so far since there's both a parking lot and nearby street parking. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants that's officially in our regular rotation.

    KIN Thai Cuisine in Long Beach off Broadway is a really solid spot…read more Parking is available, but it is limited, so just keep that in mind depending on the time you go. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, including the restrooms, which I always appreciate. The staff was very customer service oriented and did a great job making suggestions and giving tips about the menu and spice levels, which was super helpful. I started with the Money Bags, which are basically fried dumplings. Mine were a little overcooked, almost close to burnt. They still had decent flavor, but I'd personally rate them about a 2.9 out of 5. I also had the green papaya salad with mild spice, and the spice level was perfect, especially for people who are sensitive to heat. I usually stick around medium spice at Thai restaurants, but even the mild here still gives you a nice kick. For my drink, I got the Thai tea, which came topped with a Thai tea popsicle that slowly melted into the drink. Such a cute touch, creative, and tasty. For my entrée, I had the basil garlic sauce with sliced steak and a side of rice, which I really enjoyed. For dessert, we shared the mango sticky rice. It was good, but I do feel like it was a little overpriced for the portion size. Maybe part of that is because of the specialty rice they use that has the purple hue. I know a few places in Long Beach where you can get more for the same price. That said, the presentation was really cute with the flower garnish and everything looked beautiful. The atmosphere was nice. It has an open kitchen concept, so you can actually see the cooking happening, which adds to the experience. Seating is somewhat limited and the tables are fairly close together in certain sections, especially where the divider walls are, so you can definitely hear nearby conversations depending on where you sit. Great food, clean restaurant, and strong customer service. I'd definitely come back. Flavor Profile (for reference): Umami-forward (savory, salty depth) Acidic or bright (tangy + sour) Pungent and intense (spicy and bitter notes) Drink Preference (for reference): Bitter-forward cocktails Balanced acidity Light sweetness only, not overly sugary
