    I finally got around to checking out Sora Sushi. They've been here for about 6 months and they are conveniently located in the neighborhood, so the was a bit overdue. We ordered 2 omakase and a Black Dragon Roll. It was all good. The omakase wasn't the best that we've had in the S.Bay but it was tasty. The downside with the omakase was that the nigiri pieces were not very uniform in size. The presentation with the dry ice was pretty for sure, but I'm more about the cuts and taste. Again, still very good, just not in my top 3. The roll on the other hand, and I'm not as much a roll guy, but it was excellent, actually probably in my top 3 in the S.Bay for rolls! I'll definitely be back for more! Prices were decent. Ambiance was nice, cute, and clean. Service was excellent! Check out Sora Sushi!

    My food met expectations. I had the deluxe sushi combo and the Rock N Roll, and also ordered the chicken katsu to go.

    No frills, just good sushi! Quality is key. Everything was fresh and the service was on point!

    I just want to say that this place did not disappoint! It was me and my partners first time trying it and let me tell you guys, the food was YUMMYYY. The food tasted sooo good, I'm officially obsessed with the dumplings, the spicy tuna and the sauce from the chicken teriyaki. The place gave me homey vibes which made the experience so much better! Judy our server was such a sweetheart. I can't wait to come back !

    Vegan Roll portion of the menu!

    I dropped my car off at Pacific Auto Cleaning and needed lunch. I walked up to the shopping plaza and recalled there was a sushi place I have never tried but a light lunch sounded ideal and I had an hour to kill so I walked into Sora Sushi! There was a sweet gal standing at the door with a smile on her face. I later learned that was the wife and I think this is a family business!! She warmly greeted me and gave me seating options. I opted to sit at the bar The missus gave me a lunch menu and I looked at their standard menu too. Before I continue, I have to say I am a vegetarian that detests seaweed and mushrooms. I always opt for soy paper on my vegetarian roles. I asked the missus if they offered soy paper as an alternative and she was so sweet and said they do. Upon looking at their menu, I was so thrilled to see they had a Vegan Rolls section and agedashi tofu. I love a plain lightly fried tofu and white rice. The rice was beautifully cooked, tofu perfect (plain, no bonito/seaweed etc.). I then ordered the vegan roll with soy paper and added cream cheese (don't judge me!). All those items came out and tasted absolutely delicious. I think I found a new sushi spot that's close to home and the chef and wife (who was also cooking) were so kind and made some beautiful rolls! I look forward to coming back with my golden retriever and bringing my friends here!!

    This Menu reached Redondo Beach in the Tuesday bundled circulars with the grocery store ads.  Intriguing rolls... nice descriptions!

    The service is very welcoming and friendly, as is the food well priced, good portions, delicious quality. We were told this Sora Sushi was a pre-existing restaurant that went through a 2025 ownership change and renovation. It's well lit, clean and nice inside.

    Best Spider roll ever!

    OMG, I love all forms of sushi and sashimi but rarely get rolls because I feel like most places don't respect the roll and just treat it like a mash up of different things. Well, was I in for a pleasant surprise when I met my friend (a fellow local) at Sora Sushi. From the friendly and attentive service ( thank you Christina - a born and bred H beach native) to the most delectable rolls crafted by the sushi chef who took his training with a legit master sushi chef. Seriously, you can taste the deliberateness of each ingredient wrapped together with so much care. And the presentation most definitely reflects a level of respect that is not found elsewhere. We were delighted that Judy ( from Tsingtao - yes the town associated with the famous Chinese beer) stepped out of the kitchen to check in on us. This place has the most lovely unpretentious local hangout/family welcome feel with epic food at pre-pandemic respectful prices that make dining here regularly ( which is my full intention) more than possible. Do yourself and your family and friends a big favor and get yourself to Sora soon and my suggestion is not to judge the restaurant by the shopping center ( the old Big Lot center at the corner of Aviation and Prospect) it is in because you will regret not coming in! Like Arnold says "I'll be back!"

    What a welcome addition to the neighborhood! After reading several positive reviews and a write-up in our local newspaper, I decided to give Sora Sushi a try--and I'm so glad I did! We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Saturday and had our pick of seats. We chose the sushi bar, which turned out to be a great decision. Watching the chefs in action is always a treat, and we had the pleasure of meeting Lucas, the owner, and Asriel, the sushi chef, along with the rest of the team. One of the first things I noticed: everyone here is incredibly friendly. There's an easy warmth and genuine hospitality that sets Sora apart--so refreshing and appreciated! The sushi itself? Fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented--just really well-executed across the board. But the surprise standout was something not even on the menu: as I saw a plate of fried rice leave the kitchen (made by Lucas's sister, a talented Chinese food chef), they kindly offered me a bite. Wow. It was absolutely delicious. Honestly, they should add it to the menu--I'd order it in a heartbeat. Lucas also mentioned that he's Chinese, which got me thinking: why not incorporate a few Chinese entrees into the menu alongside the sushi? If that fried rice was any indication, there's some serious untapped potential there. Now, a quick note--the space itself isn't fancy. It feels a little worn and slightly disheveled, but honestly? The food and the people more than make up for it. By 6 PM, the place was packed and the takeout orders were flying--clearly the word is getting out. I truly hope Sora Sushi is a success. Lucas and his team are serving up delicious food and great vibes, and they deserve all the love they're getting. This is exactly the kind of local spot I want to support. Five stars!

    Fantastic new Sushi spot in Redondo Beach! Came in for a light dinner. We had the Dragon Roll & Baked Scallop Roll. Both food and service were amazing! Greer was a wonderful server! Fun upbeat ambiance with classic rock music playing at a low level - not too loud. Great for date night and families with small children too. Visiting from out of town - highly recommend for locals and tourists - def will be back! Ask for a Sora Drop - you'll LOVE IT!

    Nothing tasted very good or fresh.

    The overpowering smell of cheap cleaning products is the first thing I noticed when I walked in. None of the sushi tasted very good or fresh. The real crab hand roll was so disgusting that my friend and I both spit it out. The crab was grey color and tasted off. Not fresh. Old. I do not know where these good reviews come from. We both left after paying $100 with bad tastes in our mouths. Don't come here.

    Spectacular presentation
    Kimberly J.

    We popped in here on the late side Saturday night for a quick sushi dinner. It's very clean, and the staff very friendly -- we were able to chat with the chef/owner a bit as well. This is definitely a must try. All of the fish is sourced from different places to ensure freshness and quality, and yes, all of our sushi was very fresh. The presentation of all of our orders was amazing. Will definitely go back.

    Had dinner here tonight with my sister and everything was phenomenal. We have been missing inventive, unique sushi rolls at a fair price in the South Bay for a while now ... I am so happy this opened locally ! We ordered the large mix sashimi, double toro roll, and spicy sexy girl roll. Everything was fantastic and I would order it all again. The sashimi was delectable and had fresh wasabi garnished too. I like the no frills ambiance, it is casual and authentic. We sat at the sushi bar and will be back in the future. Highly recommend.

    Great lunch spot! The lunch special at Sora Sushi is a really good deal. I ordered the ankimo and the rainbow roll--both were absolutely delicious and super fresh. The staff were very nice and friendly, which made the experience even better. Free parking is a big plus too. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Amazing food service and ambience

It's not overpowering and hand crafted with care and attention to detail. This place looks small but more than meets the eye with the carefully crafted sushi. We started with the fried Gyoza and it was hot, fresh and cooked perfectly. Salmon carpaccio, shrimp crunch roll and the citrus Sakura roll were all delicious. One of our favorite restaurants to visit when we're in town.

    Not sure how I've never left a review for one of my top favorites in Hermosa and Redondo but hey,…read moremy memory isn't what it used to be either so I'll just post pics of the items I had today. Truffle salmon: so tender and the salmon itself is melt in your mouth. Really everything is A-5 wagyu: amazing flavor and topped with a dab of yuzu as a nice contrast to the amazing meat butter Aburi toro sushi: I think it was my favorite today. Not sure how to describe the flavor and texture other than it's one that invokes the "dance" Krabby fatty: super warm, tasty, maybe it's torched at the ends for a great flavor and comes wrapped in soy paper which I love, Soft shell crab: very very lightly battered which is perfect for those looking for low carb options Speaking of which, there are 2 or 3 rolls that are rice free and the will also do easy or no rice whenever possible (though I've been trying to be keto, I couldn't resist having the sushi rice here) It's super chill here (I came in my workout clothes) and they play great music (for me) reggae and though it's usually pretty busy, the service never lacks as Kyle is smoothly darting around handling the entire place single-handedly including takeout. I love coming here because it's consistently delicious (dance delicious) and the service is awesome. I will add that even though I won't necessarily judge a place on ambience, this place is super cute and the Hermosa location has a spectacular patio area that is also dog friendly

    We went for the AYCE All You Can Eat Lunch Promotional Offer for $20. This is a review of the AYCE…read more2025 LUNCH. At first glance, it sounded intriguing. The menu did seem limited compared to the traditional AYCE Sushi dining model of peer restaurants like Ginza or Blue Fin locally in the South Bay, or So Cal's plethora of AYCE like Midori and Aburi to name a few great ones. So, the price is lower than their peers but not significantly when you factor in what you actually get and experience. I was told the AYCE lunch offer was ending. Maybe it was a test that either failed customers or failed the restaurants expectations. I'd not recommend it. I did and do like Fusion Sushi in general however. The AYCE was flawed by design because they divide their special AYCE to specific select items that qualify for what you cam choose from. Most other AYCE Japanese restaurants open up 90% of their standard menu without limitations for between $25-35 per person, so is actually better than this $20 offer. You order from List 1, then list 3, then from List 3 (Finally, The Sushi). The odd method is that they mandate customers order "all they can eat" once and only once, one time and no additional ordering. They disclaim, any uneaten food has to be paid for on top of the AYCE price. It seemed at face value to be counterintuitive to avoiding waste. I suspect that strategy has them (the business owners) expecting customers to over-order on a $20 deal and leaving paying double or triple the anticipated bill amount. It creates a really stressful dining experience. It was very disappointing to have to commit to one series of ordering from 3 categories and close out. I prefer to order as I go along and not feel pressured, rushed or limited. So, the least appealing factor is that most of their sushi was comprised of belly filling appetites suppressing cut rolls filled with the California Roll faux crab seafood blend, rice, avocado and cucumbers and very little fish. It was kind of lackluster compared to what Fusion Sushi is capable of serving and what their peer AYCE sushi restaurants serve (many offer sashimi carpaccio and high quality sushi). So, that was probably the most disappointing aspect of the AYCE experience. The staff and service were friendly enough, but the policy or terms of the AYCE gave me 20/20 hindsight regret of impulsively agreeing to the rules/system and not either just ordering a la carte or walking out after realizing how untraditional and unappealing their format is/was. I do like Fusion Sushi in general, but this AYCE needs to be revised I believe to become appealing to the masses
