I ended up giving this place another try and the sushi was great! I got a bento box and the seaweed salad and crab salad were generous portions and perfectly seasoned. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The only downside I have is I tried going a third time today and they were closed. I checked their instagram beforehand and there was no post about them being closed so I thought it was safe to make the journey over. Sadly, they had a closed sign at the window. Totally understandable that things happen with small business. It would just be nice to have a heads up online so we don't waste our time coming out here to not get what we came for. read more

Take out sushi! This spot is so cute! For a quicker way to satisfy a sushi craving, this is for sure a great option. If ya blink, you may miss it. Located right next to a small movie theater, and mostly recognized by the A-frame sign out front, is a walk up window to place your order. Food is made fresh while you wait. Took about 10 mins and my order was ready. Although 4th street can get quite busy, I was able to find parking right in front. Quality little place and prices are affordable. read more

A pickup window sushi joint for your takeout guilty pleasure? RetRoll recently replaced Hippea...and while I was so sad about the change because i loved those falafels, I recently decided to give them a shot during their sushi happy hour and I was not disappointed. I did ask the owner whether he would do an omakase for a budget, but he instead gracefully offered to help me order. I ended up going over budget, but it was worth it. I do wish their happy hour had a few other options (i.e. $2 off any roll) instead of the few rolls they offered, but nonetheless-if you're looking for some takeout sushi, definitely grab some sushi from here. They have a bunch of specialty rolls, as well as some classic ones. I do remember wishing they had a more classic yellowtail roll when I ordered, but either way don't let that deter you. This is a great takeout spot for sushi. Despite missing Hippea, I'm glad this neighborhood spot has come in to take its place and hopefully it's here to stay! read more

A few friends and I went to check out RetRoll Sushi Long Beach. Food was yummy, service was great, for a small take-out restaurant. We had placed our orders online, it was ready in the expected timeframe. The owner was very friendly and professional. We were blessed with a nice cool evening breeze too. I had ordered extra food to take home, and my family loved it too. Everything was fresh and tasty. I will definitely come back again. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Very good quality sushi in an unassuming tiny storefront. While I do miss Hip Pea dearly, I must admit it's nice having a good casual sushi option on 4th St convenient to me. Too bad the two couldn't coexist. I guess Jounetsu Ramen further west on 4th does some rolls but I haven't tried them so can't speak for their quality. The hubby and I decided to get some dinner here on a weeknight and got: Ultimate Roll - basically an omakase roll. The chef asks what you like and assembles something. I told him I was totally open and to make whatever. He asked if I liked eel (I do), and he came up with a roll with an eel base topped with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, crunchy tempura bits, masago, and eel sauce, which I asked for light (I hate goopy rolls). I was very pleased with this roll--it had good quality fish as well as good sushi rice and was assembled with care. Veggie Roll - fresh avocado, cucumbers and carrots with the aforementioned good rice. Simple, but well done. These weren't cheap, but I'd say reasonable for the quality. I'm looking forward to trying more of their offerings soon, like their poke bowls! The hubby was hoping to try some of their other vegan sushi that looked interesting, but according to the chef they weren't doing very well so he's discontinued them--bummer! At least most of the standard vegetarian options are vegan anyway. As with Hip Pea, just the small outdoor tables if you want to eat there--not the best on cold days, so I imagine most people get stuff to go. The chef is very personable and really cares about the food and customer service. I wish him the best and hope this place will be able to stick around! read more

So glad to have a sushi spot on 4th street :) It's located next to the theatre & art du vin wine bar. I got the ultimate roll which is basically a roll they customize to your liking by asking what fish + sauces you like/don't like. I also got a spicy tuna roll which was tasty and classic. Everything was fresh & I waited about 10-15 minutes for everything to be ready. It's a walk up window so be prepared to eat it to-go!

RetRoll is some super delicious and clean sushi. The location is perfect for a quick pick up and stroll, and the staff is friendly and attentive. We were just there on a busy Fourth Friday and found the staff to be very patient and helpful. I spend a lot of time working in Japan each year and sometimes I find the American versions of sushi to be overly complex and involving ingredients that really are not found in Japan. RetRoll is authentically clean and tasty. They are located right near the Art Theater and steps from loads of interesting shops. Oh and we recently discovered they deliver to the wine bar next door. #perfection read more

Fills the sushi void that existed on 4th street. Simple menu done very well. The tuna sushi was melt in your mouth fish quality; absolutely delicious. The Hawaiian roll was very tasty and the chefs choice roll was customized according to whatever you want pending availability. This was great to give some variety. It is set up as a takeaway window, but they had 3 tables on the sidewalk which we ate at and made for great people watching strolling retro roll.

What's funny is that we've both lived around Long Beach forever and somehow never fully connected with Oho despite hearing good things about it for years. We had randomly stopped in one afternoon recently thinking we'd just split a roll and head home, but the food ended up being so good that we kept ordering "one more thing" until we accidentally skipped dinner entirely later that night. That experience was good enough that when we found ourselves trying to figure out dinner again yesterday, Oho immediately came back into the conversation. We got there early evening and the timing was perfect. Busy enough to feel lively and like you were out for the night, but not so packed that service slowed down or the room became chaotic. The pacing of the meal was honestly one of the best parts. Dishes came out steadily without crowding the table, and everything felt very natural and relaxed. The tuna crispy rice was fantastic and a little different from the usual presentation. Perfect crisp on the outside, almost caramelized, with really airy spicy tuna on top that reminded me more of a tartare texture than the heavier versions you sometimes get elsewhere. We also had bluefin tuna, toro, salmon sashimi, a spicy scallop roll, and the Extreme Crunch Roll with light eel sauce, which ended up being surprisingly balanced and not over-the-top despite the name. Even the iced green tea stood out. Bright green, almost cloudy, super refreshing, and honestly exactly what I wanted with sushi. Service was excellent both visits. It felt very team-oriented behind the sushi bar and on the floor, which kept everything moving smoothly without feeling rushed. A couple practical notes: parking is easy overall, but the lot is shared with the motel, so just be mindful where you park and try to stay closer toward the restaurant side of the lot. Also, this feels much better suited for couples or small groups than large parties. Four people would be ideal. Six is probably pushing it unless the restaurant is unusually quiet. Really happy we gave this place another shot because it ended up being one of the more satisfying sushi dinners we've had in a while.

I have never been to a restaurant so many times without getting tired of it. I've been eating at…read moreKimu for years and I can confirm this is the best sushi restaurant in town by a landslide. The sashimi pieces are big, cold, and always fresh. I always order spicy edamame, gyoza, salmon sashimi, yellowtail sashimi, and miso soup. It's so delicious I crave it on a weekly basis. Come here! You won't regret it. The owner is often behind the sushi bar completing orders and is very kind and caring. The food is mouthwatering, the presentation is impeccable, and the price keeps me coming back!

We sat at the bar and the sushi, chefs and server were nice. We ordered their spicy edamame which was loaded with flavor by far the best spicy edamame. I love the garlic and chili combos with a little citrus flavor. Also ordered the stinky roll, which is spicy tuna on the inside and salmon on the outside which I liked very much couldn't decide on a second roll so I asked the server to surprise us and kind of regret doing that because he had brought us a roll that I was already cringing at reading the description on the menu which was their long beach roll however, the crunch it had on the inside was very nice and not too heavy. I don't feel that asparagus should be anywhere near a sushi roll, but that was my bad. Also ordered their Yuzu cheesecake, which was a no for me. It was too strong and screaming Yuzu simialr to lemon zest and super tiny. The quality of the ingredients they use here are pretty good. I would come back to try other items, but I do not suggest getting their dessert or their long beach roll.

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.

Writing this review on the food we ordered - salmon poke and pork buns - because I know they are…read moreknown for their ramen. I was craving poke and my boyfriend came across this place. 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 will come back for the quality of the food and service alone. The atmosphere was just the cherry on top. All of the staff were so attentive and helpful Our food also came out really fast. We missed happy hour by a few mins, but they offered it to us anyways, which we were so appreciative for. We got the yakiniku combo set and pork katsu combo. The yakiniku set was even cooked for us at our table and boy they cooked it perfectly too. It was PLENTY of food for 4 hungry adults. Definitely will come back to try the gyu katsu next time!
