We also tried the Sunshine Roll from the regular menu, and that one was a winner, definitely something we'd order again. The hand rolls were nicely presented, too. A great spot for sushi and a beer.

All the fish was fresh and quite a unique variety of fish. The special came with miso soup, a pretty big salad, and a 'side selection' and I chose the California roll. Service was fast. Ambience was quaint.

I ordered the Crunchy Vegetable Roll with sweet soy sauce and was not disappointed. Inside the was yummy vegetable tempura and the tempura flakes on top of the roll really added some extra texture, flavor and crunch. I'd like to visit the physical store sometime but I look forward to this roll again no matter how I get it!

UPDATE: When I went back to pick up my new roll they had done a beautiful job and gave me some…read moreextra. This is very considerate of this business. I have changed it to a 3 star. I used to really like 39 degrees. The last time I had it was about two months ago. It wasn't the best, but it was okay. This time I went for lunch and I was given the cucumber roll that is pictured. They got my simple "tuna roll" wrong, so I waited for them to remake it. The first time I asked for a regular tuna cut roll. They made it spicy and had to redo it. When I got home with that one it was like a California roll or something. I had to drive back for them to do it again!

I have known about this speakeasy bar in Long Beach for a while. The co-owner is stylish master…read morebartender, Kevin Lee. I finally got to come when I was around the area for dinner. The experience was amazing. Speaking of Speakeasy! First, if you don't want to (most likely) get turned away, you will definitely need to make a reservation on OpenTable a few days before. Parking around the area was tough, but you may find a spot if you circle around the blocks. You will need to arrive early to look for parking. When you arrive, you will see the Mexican restaurant El Barrio Cantina. You will want to walk into the alley on the left, then you will see the door with a lantern on your left. Congrats, you have arrived! Knock on the door and tell them your reservation. The bar was popular. Their reservations were all full for the night. Their cocktails were amazing, creative, delicious, and Tokyo-inspired. I love their cool menu design. The bartender was friendly and made some nice recommendations. I had a Meguro River. It's creamy and pretty with floral decorations, served in a mini pot. The Okinawan Gimlet is in cool green. They even have alcoholic gummies and alcoholic shaved ice on menu. They do have a time limit of 1.5 hours seating. I can't wait to come back again.

This was my first time at this establishment, and I have very mixed feelings about the experience…read more The food was very good and the drinks were creative, but I really wish the service had been better. We sat at the bar, and I expected to receive service from the bartender, but he didn't acknowledge us for the entire night. Instead, our server took our order. After a while, she informed us that the crispy rice we ordered was sold out. She mentioned that the bartender was supposed to let us know, but he never did. What made the experience more uncomfortable was that the bartender seemed to be giving most of his attention to the Caucasian customers on the other side of the bar. We were the only Asian customers there, and unfortunately, this left us feeling like we were being treated differently because of our race. The good food and drinks helped compensate for the poor service, so we decided not to let it ruin our evening. However, things got even more disappointing at the end. After I paid, I noticed that I had been charged for the crispy rice even though we never received it. When our server tried to address the issue, the bartender appeared to ignore both her and us, so we eventually left. I hope management sees this review and reaches out to me to address the overcharge and the overall experience. Overall, although the food and drinks were good, the service and the way we were treated left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

They have a big screen to watch games. The staff were all very nice and service was quick. I was actually surprised that the katsu came out before the roll. The Tokyo Hambagu was a massive portion (came with 2 thick patties). The katsu was so soft and perfectly crisped. The wow roll was also really good with the fried onions on top. It can get a bit pricey but I think it's worth the try!

A New Job, A New Milestone & A Chance to Rewrite the Narrative…read more My best friend and I have a tradition of celebrating new jobs with a nice dinner. Since this was her new job and a major milestone, I let her choose the restaurant. She had visited Bo-Beau last year but didn't get the full experience, so this was her chance to rewrite the narrative. And it was truly night and day. I researched the restaurant beforehand and was excited to see that Bo-Beau is part of the Cohn Restaurant Group, which I mostly associate with San Diego and South Orange County. After this experience, I really hope they're here to stay. I noted on our reservation that we were celebrating her new job, and for once, the restaurant actually read the note and acknowledged it. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was excellent. The hostess welcomed us downstairs, another staff member greeted us when we reached the rooftop, and our server quickly followed up. Then came the surprise: complimentary champagne for both of us. It was such a thoughtful gesture, especially because those little celebratory touches seem to be increasingly rare. Our server was also patient with our questions and attentive throughout the evening without being intrusive. We spent about 2.5 hours enjoying dinner and catching up over: Baked Brie Brussels Sprouts Steak Frites Everything was flavorful, and the entire experience felt relaxed, peaceful, and worth the price point. The food was great, but the hospitality is what earned the 5 stars for me. Real hospitality is paying attention to the guest, recognizing the occasion, and making people feel genuinely welcomed. My best friend got the celebration she wanted -- and a much better Bo-Beau experience this time around. Will definitely be returning!

We tried the filet mignon, shaved rib, shaved ribeye, and chicken, and none disappointed! Even though we grilled everything ourselves, you could tell the meat was great quality. The beef cuts were so tender, the chicken was seasoned really well, and the butter sauce on the side made everything even better! Service was friendly and attentive, too! I'd definitely come back. Highly recommend!
