I came here with a few girlfriends for lunch on Sunday and we ordered the sample prix fixe course ($39) which was honestly such a great bang for your buck. I ordered the edamame, crispy rice spicy tuna, crunchy lobster dynamite, and passionfruit mochi ice cream. I thought everything was ok. I was most taken aback by the crunchy lobster dynamite roll. There was mint in the roll which I was not expecting and had a significant effect on the taste of the roll. read more

Vegetarian review: Everything was vegan and vegetarian friendly, from rolls to sushi to the vegetables. There's loads of stuff from which to choose. Shishito peppers were good, not overly salted, but definitely seasoned. The sushi rolls were great. Really tasty. The favorite by far: Green Garden roll with Buffalo Cauliflower and Yellow Brick Road following closely behind (well, not that closely). Parking- difficult, just like any beach city. I really cannot wait to try other crispy rice and the ramen. Cannot wait. read more

I love this place. It's a small little spot, but not only do they have sushi, sashimi, ramen and tempura, but some of the dishes are vegan. This doesn't factor in for me personally, but occasionally my BF likes to eat plant-based for a time, and since I am a carnivore we sometimes have a hard time finding places. Their unique dish is the Crispy Rice which you can get with a few different toppings: Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon, spicy yellowtail or spicy tofu. I really like how crispy the rice base is. Edamame is also a great starter there and the sushi rolls are quite delicious as well. The food is also very visually appealing in addition to being very tasty. Pre pandemic we used to go here often when I had to come up to LA for work (which is a ton). read more

For two dollar signs on Yelp ...this is very misleading . I know it is manhattan beach area and things can be more pricey , but at least bump it to three dollar signs to warn innocent people trying to get a vegetarian sushi roll or two and end up paying upwards of 40 bucks for two SMALL ROLLS. The people answering the phone and the waitresses were nice and attentive - the food itself was very delicious - the food also came out lightening quick - but seriously ... at the price point ... it's not something I would pay for again . I had the dynamite roll and was very please for the 2 minutes it lasted because the sushi was made for barbies or small toy figurines . I am not thw one with the largest appetite or to complain usually but come on .. for a tofu roll with spicy sauce , a small layer of brown rice , and some sauce ... it's not 18.00 I would pay again . I think they would have more service if they reconsidered their overpriced Barbie sushi . Sorry to say . If I had the money though and didn't mind spending 20.00 a rolll for veggies rolls , I'd be here all the time . Power to you if that's you ! Because it was delicious haha ! read more

A great destination for gluten-free diner, since the entire menu is gluten-free, but I enjoyed my experience here more conceptionally than in practice. Every dish struck me as in need of improvement somehow. The shrimp tempura was relatively flavorless, and the sauce provided was very thin and runny.the orange crispy salmon was therapy, sweet, which made it hard to enjoy. The crispy rice dishes were underwhelming, because the rice itself seemed to lack seasoning. So all in all I left a little disappointed, though I leave it to others to try for themselves. read more

As a vegetarian it's hard to find sushi places with much more to offer than a cucumber roll and some edamame. At Rice, the vegan options are much more than an afterthought. I came here with my girlfriend for my birthday and we were not disappointed by the food or the service. We had an iced peach tea (with a free refill!), the vegan crispy rice sampler, the crunchy pumpkin roll (seasonal special), the vegan sweet dragon roll, the vegan dynamite roll, and the buffalo cauliflower roll. The sweet dragons roll was very fresh and was personally our favorite. All the fried/crispy items were the perfect texture. The cherry on top was the manager, Takuya, who was incredibly kind and attentive to all the customers. He even took a photo for us and printed out and gave us complimentary mochi ice cream and fruit for my birthday. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in the neighborhood! read more

Gave this a try on a Thursday night. There wasn't too many folks here as many tables were empty in comparison to many other restaurants nearby which were full of people. Initially, I was a little off put by it, but continued with our plans anyway. This place is quite small, but kept really well and has a nice display case of various sakis and Japanese craft beer. We tried the citrus salmon roll, Crunchy Lobster Dynamite Roll, Americano Miso Ramen and Lobster Miso Ramen. The Ramen both of them were absolutely delicious , there was not a drop left in either bowl. Plenty of shrimp in the Americano and Lobster in the other. It was a perfect balance and with the crispy kale it was perfect. Highly recommend either ramen. The Crunchy Lobster Roll was really good and so was the citrus salmon. They both tasted fresh and were not completely drenched in sauce, which may be offputting to some if they are expecting a typical sushi roll drowned in sauce. We left satisfied and felt like we had an incredibly healthy meal and also the Japanese craft IPA was delicious. read more

There is a lot to like here, including the great location and friendly staff. There is some quirk here also, like the fact that everything is made with brown rice, which absolutely changes the flavor and texture you would normally expect from sushi. There is very little to avoid here, but the quality of the yellowtail we were served was barely average (although the bluefin toro was top notch). Like most MB restaurants, the dining room is a little small, with tables fairly close to each other. The menu is built around more of an Americanization of sushi, with a lot of layered rolls, fried fish and brown rice. The sashimi and sushi cuts are quite small, although most of the fish selections are fairly nice quality (on the night we dined here, the yellowtail was barely acceptable, but everything else was very good). Our wait staff was friendly, helpful and adept at dealing with a very rude table near us (they did everything possible to keep the loud, obnoxious, demanding tourist children from disrupting the rest of the guests, so congratulations there). read more

I'm torn! I love such, and vegan-friendly, so I dropped by for an early dinner and had the rainbow roll and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. I realized that the rolls were priced higher than your average rolls for less quantity. They were good bite size though. In other words, you're paying for quality, not quantity. Friendly staff with outstanding service. Outdoor seating, mostly in the middle of an office plaza with socially distance tables. Great for a special night out! read more

We recently visited Rice restaurant for a late night bite. It was crowded for a late night weekend bite. Cute decor, healthy rice based. Being a ramen connoisseur, I was not thrilled nor a fan of their ramen for multiple reasons. Food is so-so, price is on the high side compare to other amazing well known ramen shops, service was not to par. We had to flag down servers multiples time to be acknowledged and we sat right by the entrance door. We ordered the Lobster Miso Ramen and California Miso Ramen. First, the good. The lobster was lightly fried, tender, juicy on the side dish with a generous portion. I did enjoy the lobster. The not so good: I'm not a fan of their miso soup (vegan or veggie based?) nor the ramen rice noodle. Overall the soup base felt gritty, flat, too sweet for my taste nor robust enough or umami taste compare to other tonkotsu soup base. The noodle is rice based, felt soggy. It's like eating a soggy pho rice noodle (without the bounce) swimming inside a so-so miso broth. The only thing good about the California miso ramen was the real snow crab (not the imitation krab) and garlic chip. Though be mindful they charge $2 extra for a small amount of garlic chip without a heads up. Again, not crazy about the rest: noodle and miso soup broth. In general, if you're gluten free and health conscious, I can see this place being perfect for you. As a serious ramen snob, it was interesting to try, however this place is not for us. LOL, way too healthy for us. read more

Rice was AMAZING. For vegans and sushi connoisseurs. Nothing but good things to say about the amazing rolls. We had the spicy Buffalo cauliflower, the vegan dynamite roll,the dragon roll, and the citrus salmon roll. The snow sake cocktail was also exquisite. They have vegan green tea cake as well, which is super delicious and amazingly dairy free. The outside patio boasts heat lamps and a cute court yard. The only drawback I would say is it is a little expensive, but close to par for the location. read more

My friend was visiting me from out of time, so I was looking for a place nearby for a catch up. Now that we both have aged (gulp with a sad look), my friend eats a lot healthier than when i first knew him...so we decided to try Rice. The menu has good selection (mostly rolls and ramen)..although they also offer set meals as well. He and I each had our own ramen, cups of tea and shared a roll. The food was good though I would say it was authentic. My friend, in particular, liked the fact that the ramen soup wasn't too oily like he was used to. I thought the service was just ok though. We had to ask for additional hot water for our cups of tea and for soy sauce, ginger and wasabi as well. Overall, the price came to around $75 (not incl tips). It was a bit pricey compared to what I was used to. But given a better ambience and its prime location in Manhattan Beach, their price range was as expected. My friend who flew in from SF was more used to a more pricey sticker price...so it was more normal for him i guess. Overall, a decent place. I wouldn't mind stopping by again if I was meeting someone in Manhattan Beach. read more

Quaint little spot in Manhattan Beach serving both omnivore and vegan/vegetarian options! I had the crispy rice spicy tofu and the crunch dynamite tofu roll and they were both divine. Since they're made from brown rice, I was easily full. My wallet appreciated that, but I definitely had to fight the temptation of ordering everything off the menu. My struggle is finding places with robust vegetarian options or with a vegetarian menu that was clearly not an afterthought. My omnivore husband was also happy with his dragon roll and crispy rice spicy tuna. Server was very friendly and attentive. We had no trouble making and even changing our reservation or finding street parking on a Tuesday night. Can't wait to come back to try more of the menu items! read more

First, this is a very nice quaint place. It's intimate with a nice welcoming atmosphere. I got the 29 dollar 3 course lunch menu with an extra roll. First up was the miso soup. It came out nice and hot tasted like a normal miso soup. One thing I did forget to mention is that this is geared to more if the healthy life style of food meaning vegan and organic brown rice for sushi. Which in opinion does make it taste different if you are used to eating traditional sushi rice. This leads me to the rolls. Now the spicy salmon for my was just not my cup of tea the texture and the flavor were just off. I did not like how the salmon was all minced and formed. Now the rainbow when I got it was warm. It was good but like I said the flavor was off and could have been because of the brown rice. Out of everything the backed salmon was the best it was full of delicious flavor. read more

We came for an early dinner on a Friday night. They have a cute outdoor seating area downstairs in the back courtyard and a decent amount of indoor dining as well. Service was attentive and pleasant. I don't have much to comment on the rolls. The crispy rice sampler was very interesting. If you've never had it before, I think it's something that you just have to get used to. The texture of the rice and the mush of raw meat on top wasn't my favorite. However !!!! This salmon collar is the juiciest, fattest, and tastiest collar I have ever had. I am craving it as I type this. I could probably eat 3 of them by myself because it's that good. If I'm ever in the area, I want to try this place again to try the salmon collar haha read more

This place is great for people who have celiac disease. Everything at Rice is gluten free and it's a dedicated restaurant. My wife loved everything on the menu she ordered- crab cake and sushi. Our friends and I ordered the lobster ramen. If you order it normal, it will not be spicy. I would add some spice if you like things spicy like I do. The reason I am giving them a 4 star rating is due to lack of service or communication. The night before my pregnant wife and I made reservations, drove 30 minutes to find the restaurant closed due maintenance. Unfortunately, when we were able to go the next day, the service wasn't prompt or checked in during our time. Would I go back? Yeah if my wife wanted to. Hope this helps!

It was a huge meal and I was honestly surprised I managed to finish the whole thing. I really enjoyed it because you get to try so many different items in one meal. If you're like me and love Japanese food, this is a great way to sample a little bit of everything without having to order a bunch of separate dishes. Everything tasted fresh and the quality was excellent. The restaurant itself isn't very big, so it can get pretty busy. They do take reservations though, which I'd recommend if you're planning to come during dinner. Overall, I really enjoyed this special Gozen meal and would definitely come back. It was a fun experience and a great value for the variety and quality of food you get.

Sushi restaurant in downtown El Segundo…read more Parking can be a challenge. There is a small shared lot and small garage. We were able to get a spot. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outside with the beautiful evening temperatures. We tried of variety of the appetizers including the spicy edamame, crispy rice, and vegetables tempura. For my meal I had the Dungeons and Dragons roll. Delicious. They had a very good NA Japanese beer. They also have a restaurant exclusive beer that is made by the brewer across the street. Our waitress was very nice and had good recommendations.

They have a variety of lunch specials, including a sashimi combo meal with 8 pieces, salad, rice, and choice of a side. So good. My sons ordered a sushi lunch combo, tempura kids meal, and some gyoza/soft shell crab -- all delicious. As a treat we also ordered the A5 Wagyu (which they allowed us to order for lunch). It was prepared table side and was just incredible. Our server Kelly was amazing! Loved her great recommendations, and she constantly checked in with us. Her German/Ecuadorian heritage coincided with an upcoming World Cup match, so having her as our server was extremely fortuitous. The restaurant ambiance is simple yet welcoming along the main road. Parking was a little crowded but we found street parking not far away. I love how they have a waitlist and how food came out really quickly. They have their own special soy sauce recipe! We ordered some takeout food on the side and Kelly was on top of it all. Thanks to Kelly, the delicious food and fast service, this place is exceptional and gets high marks for me. I highly recommend checking out this place.

The Bar - Hand Rolls by Seabutter

While I love Seabutter, I'm obsessed with the Bar for its menu selection. It's always great to have…read morea menu that's got the best of both worlds: a fixed assortment and an array of options! It was our first time visiting the Bar and my husband got the Taste of the Bar while I got the 6 piece hand roll fixed menu. The Taste of the Bar had the most unique recipes for their rolls and came with a sake or green tea, which was amazing iced. The Bar is located in a super fun little strip mall towards the back of the mall. It's sort of low key, so it's not really too crowded, hard to find parking, or much of a wait to be seated generally. I loved how friendly and social the staff are as you're being served your hand rolls, it made the experience that much more enjoyable. Service is prompt and you're welcome to order more food at any point during your meal. I loved the 6 piece. It was a more traditional hand roll offering of salmon, spicy tuna, amber jack, blue crab, toro, and scallop. The hand rolls were all so flavorful, but my favorites were the blue crab for its creaminess and the amber jack for the lemon zestiness that paired so well with the protein. The hand roll portions are generous and I was stuffed by the end.

What a great find in El Segundo! We usually go to KazuNori when we're craving hand rolls, but The…read moreBar by Seabutter is every bit as good. The six-hand-roll set is an incredible value at $33 and includes salmon, blue crab, spicy tuna, amberjack, negi toro, and scallop. My husband ordered the same set but couldn't resist adding the truffle salmon hand roll at the end because it looked too good to pass up. We arrived just before the dinner rush and were seated immediately at the bar. The service was quick, and the hand rolls were served one at a time, which is exactly how they should be enjoyed so the nori stays perfectly crisp. My favorites were the blue crab and the scallop. Both were generously filled, incredibly fresh, and absolutely delicious. I also love dipping my hand rolls in a little ponzu sauce for the extra flavor. We'll absolutely be back again soon!

We took my niece and the server was very accommodating on helping us find a dish she might like. He also recommended two rolls we may like both fresh and baked rolls. We ordered the Senorita roll mostly because we liked the name lol It had baked salmon, onion and cilantro. This one was ok not our favorite. The Cherry Blossom Roll was so delicious and buttery. The presentation was beautiful as well. We ended up ordering two of those which includes spicy tuna inside and tuna, yellowtail with green onion and masago, and soy and mustard dressing.

You can really taste the fish without it being overbearingly fishy. It was clean and cut well. Bonus, look at the beautiful presentation! :) Will definitely be back.

To our surprise, we found this "new" place, The Second Wind. The menu looked enticing and the lunch specials really looked like a great deal. So we decided we needed to come back for lunch and soon. A week later, we returned. Parking is very easy in the free lot for the complex. The interior design is energenic, vivrant with amazing looking Asian inspired pop art. Very cool interior. You can be seated and served or order to go. They have a combination lunch special, two items for $15.99. But, many of those items have an up charge if you add a protien. Either way, in these times, $16 for two items is reasonable. Our server greeted us quickly and let us choose the table of our liking. There are a handful of booths and open tables. My wife ordered the Beef Bulgogi and the Eggplant. I ordered the Chicken Dumplings and the Garlic Noodle (adding chicken for $2 more). The portions are generous. Light eaters might be able to just order one two dish combo and share. The Beef Bulgogi was good but the veggies looked a bit dehydrated. The Eggplant was just okay. The Chicken Dumplings were very tasty but served cool. I ordered them steamed and expected them to be warm at least. The Garlic Noodles with chicken was the biggest disappointment. To me, and my wife, over cooked with crunchy pieces. The chicken was also over cooked, dry and tough. When our server asked how things were, I mentioned it. He didn't seem surprised. I asked if the noodles were always dry and he said yes. He offered to bring more sauce, which he did. I added it but it didn't make the chicken any better. In the end, I left 90% of it. They only have cans of sodas so no refills but they are attached to a tea house that serves a great selection of teas, bobo, etc. There was some good things but more not, overall, we were disappointed. Honestly, I was a bit surprised they didn't offer to replace my dish or offer a small discount. They could see the pile of food I left. Anyway... Hopefully your experience and food preparation will be better than ours and...enjoy!!!

I'm definitely not a gluten free, organic or Vegan person but I like good quality food and my girlfriend wanted to try this spot cause she is healthy and vegan. Street parking right in front. (Metered) Cute interior with tables or you can sit at the sushi bar. We chose table and started with tea. Lemon ginger and raspberry peach. The garlic edamame beans and Brussels sprouts were good. The agedashi tofu wasn't what I'm used to with ponzu sauce. It was in a heavy mushroom sauce. Cucumber salad was too tart and too fresh if that makes sense. My friend ordered a roll with pumpkin that looked like spicy tuna but wasn't haha. I had the yellowtail collar which was great. The salmon special platter wasn't that special and I could barely taste the ponzu. So...they have NO hot sauce. No Tabasco or sriracha or chili paste. They did offer me dynamite sauce for an extra charge. Dessert was a green tea cake with azuki beans and it was completely vegan. Not bad except the bottom crust which tasted like kale. Decent service. Bathroom is outside in the plaza. read more
