I have been to this place before and what a winner it is! The ambiance is inviting, the food was seasoned well. I most of all thoroughly enjoyed their vegetarian sushi roll; it is to die for! Scrump-deli-umptious! Our servers were efficient, friendly and accommodating read more

First time here and I'm so glad I checked it out. The food was spectacular, very fresh, and well-portioned. The hamachi sashimi, in particular, was top notch. Chef Christopher is awesome! I just asked him to pick out a side dish, sashimi, and and a roll for me. The chef made great food, but was also very friendly and had a great personality. The delicious food along with that extra bit, the social interaction, was what made the difference. It truly did feel like he loved his job and wanted me to have a great experience. This was my first time here and I will be back. read more

first time trying out this spot, unfortunately they weren't doing their ayce, but we wanted sushi anyway. it's a nicely decorated establishment with both indoor and outdoor seating near the hangar in long beach so plenty of parking in the plaza. we came on a monday night and got seated right away! our server kris was super sweet and helpful and made it such a memorable experience. -pear lychee martini: 9/10 quite sweet of a cocktail with more notes of the pear than the lychee but still delicious and refreshing -hamachi yuzu roll: 9/10 super refreshing roll with delicious citrus of the yuzu and fresh hamachi -sosoguud roll: 8/10 huge soy wrapped rolls with lots of fresh fish and umami sauces -spicy tuna crunch roll: 10/10 a classic yet delicious roll for me, fresh minced tuna with umami sauces and crispy garlic crunch toppings -spicy garlic edamame: 10/10 always so good and addicting -chicken karaage: 9/10 nicely crispy and tender chicken with a spicy mayo dipping sauce -toro crispy rice: 10/10 super yummy minced toro with that perfectly fried crispy rice and creamy avocado and sauces with a slight kick from the jalapeños -rainbow roll: 8/10 nice refreshing roll with an assortment of different fresh fish will definitely be back especially for their ayce! read more

Overall: 3.5 Food: 4 Value: 3 Service: 4 Parking: 3 Ambiance: 4.5 I am very happy to have tried this place, but it's going to be a special occasions place for me, when I am willing to deal with slower service (more later). It seems that they are combining the best of a lot of popular restaurants (like hand rolls, brick toast, $49 AYCE with mimosas on weekends, cucumber salad, miso cod, etc). I was also pleasantly surprised that it was in the LBX Hangar, which makes it a great place to go while hanging out with friends. The ambiance is more upscale, with high ceilings and an open kitchen concept. Could see it being a nice place for business meals. Got the summer roll which was surprisingly good! Fish was fresh and the mango was soft and sweet! The dragonfruit lemonade was extremely sweet, and that's coming from a big sweet tooth. Wanted to try more things but I was already spending around $30 on a roll + a drink for lunch and didn't feel like forking over $50 for lunch. Unfortunately, the slow service put a damper on my experience. I went at the tail end of lunch on a random Tues and there were only about 3 or 4 tables at that time. I waited at my table for 20mins before my waiter came around, which made me feel some kind of way when, later, 2 other parties were seated and acknowledged within 5 mins. It took another 20mins for 1 roll to come out (the other 2 tables behind me literally just got the menu and the remaining tables were in the middle of paying/leaving so I was the only one who was waiting on food). If service is this slow during a weekday at the end of lunch time, then I can only imagine how slow it will be during rush hour or weekends, not to mention during their AYCE rush hour. Parking can also be a bit of a challenge. As I said, I came at the end of lunch so although the spots were full, many patrons were returning to their car and it was less than a 1min wait for a spot. However, the spots are a little small compared to the large SUVs and vans parked there. So if coming at a popular time, be prepared to park far or feel like you're able to scrape the SUVs parked next to you. TLDR: Would try again for happy hour or maybe if entertaining any out of town guests. read more

I'd give this place a little more than 4 stars! I've only had takeout but the interior looks spacious and modern. 4/5 - Chef's box, definitely reminds me of a Sugarfish dupe. Everything in here was decent, nothing mind blowing. I'd order again if I want a variety. 4/5 - Sosoguud Roll. This was okay. I do appreciate the sauce on the side. 5/5 - Tuna crispy rice. Has got to be some of the best in the area, this is a must order! Even when I got it takeout it was still good and crispy. Definitely will order this again. I'd definitely like to dine-in sometime and try their other items! read more

Sosogu - Chef's Sushi Box Take-Out - Sushi Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

Sosogu is a Japanese sushi and BBQ spot that's located in LB Exchange near the Hangar in Long Beach. It's down the street from the LB Airport and is in a strip mall that's loaded with good eats. I came to sosogu a few times during their grand opening; however, it came back to my radar because of their all you can eat menu offerings. We went with their middle tier AYCE menu for $59 (niku set), which featured nigiri sushi (tuna, spicy tuna crispy rice, salmon, and albacore), select sushi rolls, and a few meat options (notably filet mignon, beef bacon, short rib, pork belly, and chicken). A few sides/appetizers were also offered and served, upon request. Of these, we got kimchi, spicy cucumber, edamame, and some veggies. For $60 per person, I definitely got my fill; however, I can't say that it's a favorite AYCE spot. The beef bacon and short rib were highlights of the "niku set". Off the AYCE menu, I also think that their cocktails featuring japanese whisky are great. For me to upgrade to four or five stars (and to choose to come here over other AYCE options), there are a few things that could have been better. First, I think their nigiri has far too much rice and it was very vinegar forward. Second, the meats aren't seasoned, so there needs to be more options for seasoning, flavor, and sauce. Third, service was ok; however, if they're strictly enforcing a 90-minute time limit for their AYCE set, then I would have liked them to come around more often. Next, the griling surface on their infrared tabletop grill is small, particularly if you have a group more more then 3 persons. Lastly, though I can honestly say that I got my fill, the meat selections were just ok for me. I didn't feel that their premium wagyu AYCE offerings enticed me. My main reason for coming back would not be for their AYCE offerings or their sushi. I would come back if they had a happy hour menu and I'd come back for some of their Japanese whisky cocktails and flights. read more

I came in on a Friday early afternoon, and the location is great, easy to find and in a good spot. They offer both an all-you-can-eat menu and à la carte. I opted for the Wagyu lunch menu along with a few sushi rolls. The food was good, but as a huge Korean BBQ fan, I'd say the BBQ itself was just average. For the price, I probably would've rather spent the money on the all-you-can-eat option at one of my favorite spots. It just didn't quite satisfy that Korean BBQ craving. The sushi, on the other hand, was the standout. The rolls were fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. I'd definitely order those again. I also came during happy hour and was a little surprised they don't offer a happy hour menu, that would've been a nice touch. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and has a great date-night vibe. The service was another highlight. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, I'd come back for the sushi, but probably skip the BBQ next time. read more

Sushi and Nigiri so very fresh. Creamy Ramen is so good with very in depth flavor. Lychee Pear Martini is the best. Service outstanding and attentive. read more

ONE star minuses due to an extra charge that I just saw. I only ordered 1 tempura mix and a tempura shrimp. They charged an extra $15 plus $20. It should have been either or Brenda M was terrific. She was patient with us. This was our first time at this establishment. The food was good. The drinks were delicious. We sat outside. Glad we did because it felt a bit smoky when we went inside to the restrooms. The outside is clean and restrooms and restaurant is clean. We were celebrating my dad's happy heavenly 70th (rest his soul) birthday. The restaurant was so awesome. They celebrated with us with a soju shot. Such a nice touch. What we ordered 5 Sunomono Margarita 1 Tempura Mix $15 3 Lychee Pear Martini 1 Rising Sun 6 Toki-0 Old Fashioned 1 Tempura Mix $15 1 order of Just Shrimp Tempura $20 1 Yuzu Pineapple Express 1 Green Geisha 1 King Salmon Cut Roll $11 read more

I'm sure many ppl made the same pun already but... omg this place was SOSOGUUUUD!!!! First time there and I can't wait to go back and try other things! Here are the cocktails we ordered: - Rising Sun 5/5 I like sweet cocktails in general, but also not too sweet either. That one had the perfect balance for me - Chai Tea Old Fashioned 4/5 you can't really taste the chai tea but overall, a solid cocktail. It's strong, I'd recommend it to Old Fashioned lovers - Martini 3/5 nothing against it, just personal preference. I'm not too much into Martinis myself As for food: - Spicy edamame 5/5 oh that one has a little kick but so worth it - Toro crispy rice 5/5 tasty but it only came with 4 small pieces - Premier set for 2 with yuzu butter shrimp, filet mignon medallions, short ribs, spicy pork, pork belly, everything was yummy! Also loved the sides: cabbage salad, crispy tofu, spicy cucumbers (that one in particular was delicious!!!), garlic noodles and shoyu clear soup (my friends thought it was too mushroomy but I liked it). - Yuzu Cheesecake 4/5 I love Yuzu so I really wanted to try that cheesecake. It was good but nothing out of the ordinary, I wouldn't go out of my way to get it Service was impeccable, loved their vibey playlist (we tried Shazaming some of the soundtracks lol) and we came here on a Saturday at 530-6pm without a reservation. We got sat right away! Parking was also easy to find at that time. read more

The food here was alright. If you're serving Sushi it has to be great. The size portion for the sushi is like tapas style. That doesn't work for me. Don't get me wrong each order we had had good taste, but I didn't come to a tapas place. It didn't blow my mi d like would I come back for anything we ordered? No is the answer. What we ordered: Spicy Cucumber - not spicy (which I like) and just taste like cucumber. Nothing special. If youregonna serve this add more flavor to such a basic asian dish. Gotta get this right. If our Chef friend tasted this he would throw his apron or hat at you! The best one was the filet mignon tatami. Great taste with the onions but the filet mignon was well done. It should be more red, more of a seared than cook, no? We also ordered crab cakes, but I didn't even wanna touch it as it seemed to be morebatter than crab. The avocado salad that came with it was good though. Funny how I'm complimenting the salad at a Japanese & BBQ place...smh The Sosoguud Roll was just good, not guuud (exajurating the guud part) or Sosoguud. Small portion as well. I do like that the chef don't over drizzle the sauce. It was the right amount. The Hamachi Yuzu Roll was spicy, and was good but not great. Would I reorder it? No because you can't differentiate if it was spicy tuna or not. Lol. Service was good. Our server was nice, but only came around less than 3 times after our food was served. Ambiance is okay as well. It's fine if no one is using the grill, but once the table next to us and one a few tables startedbuaing the grill it got too smoky I side. You can see a cloud inside the restaurant and I didn't know if it was my eye sight or not hutbit sure was hazy. read more

Parking is in a shared lot, located near the Hangar. Often times there is a mini market just outside so the parking spots are full in the front. This restaurant is clean and very spacious. They have an outdoor patio and interior is very modern. You have a choice to choose to eat sushi, grilled bbq, or both. If you choose to eat only sushi, there is a specific table to dine on. Our server was very friendly and gave us a breakdown of how the menu works. We got the wagyu platter. They also allowed us to swap a protein for something similar. For about $40, it came with a bowl of rice, cabbage salad, soup, and about 3 slices of each protein. They have fire suppression on each of the grilling tables which i thought was great because in case of an emergency, it can put it out quickly. The grill isnt used with flames, rather a heating bulb. It grilled our meat fast and very limited smoke. It also cooked the meat more evenly. This is definitely a place that can be eaten, enjoyed, and finished within a Lunch break for work. Im so glad I dont work nearby because id go broke! We will be back. read more

First time and pleasantly Surprised! Came Mainly for Sushi and ordered à la carte. Tried Tuna, Hamachi, King Salmon, Seared King Salmon, Snapper, Albacore Nigiri. Blue Crab Hand Roll. Baked Salmon & Negitoro cut Rolls. All Absolutely Delicious! Compliments to Sushi Chef Chris! *(apologies for no food pics we were so hungry) They also have an unagi blue crab roll which will def try next time. Service was great and everyone was so pleasant! Thank you Jasmine. Ambiance was nice with ample inside and outside seating choices. Inside there's a separate bar area aside from Sushi Bar Seating which you can also dine at. Choice of Regular and Bar size tables for grilling dining. Don't remember if there was booth seating? We chose to sit at Sushi Bar & Sushi Chef Chris was very personable and informative for our first visit. Overall a great date night for my husband and I. *Sushi Bar and Bar Area were both standard open Restaurant seating. So keep that in mind if you want to grab a quick drink and delicious quality bites while you're enjoying the rest of the LBC LBX. *Recommend this place for date night or big group hangouts and special occasions, as it is fun and inviting atmosphere. Def be back to try the Wagyu Ayce Menu! Hoping they will add Salmon Skin, Ama ebe Shrimp & some other sushi staples soon. read more

From the ambiance to the service, drinks and tasty food -- this restaurant makes for a great, romantic date spot that will impress! Even on a rainy day, this restaurant was packed. Everyone was so nice and really made our experience so fun and enjoyable! The quality of the dishes really stood out from the signature rolls to the Japanese bbq cuts. We tried the Filet Mignon Tataki, Tempura Lobster roll, Japanese bbq cuts- Beef Tongue, Waygu Hanger Steak and the Wagyu Ribeye Cap! The Japanese bbq cuts were grilled on a flame that gave it its signature char. All were delicious. The Tempura Lobster roll had large chunks of lobster over deep fried in tempura over crab rolls (not imitation crab) which I loved! All of our choices were delicious. The standout was definitely the Filet Mignon Tataki which was cooked perfectly and paired with a fried onion topping and ponzu sauce. My husband loved the ribeye cap and I loved the hangar steak, but the tongue also hit the spot, too. I definitely can't wait to come back to try some of their other sushi and appetizers like the garlic noodles, chicken wings and their scallops carpaccio and mandarin appetizer. The cocktails were unique! I loved the Green Geisha tasted great and for a strong kick, the Chai Tea Manhattan was a fun pick. It had a cayenne kick which I didn't expect but enjoyed. I talked to the manager and the concept of this cocktail was meant to embrace the fall vibes and transport you to sitting around a camp fire with friends and family. Thank you to the manager on site, David, our hostess Katie, and our servers Kayanna and Brenda whose energy were so vibrant! They had great recommendations and honestly had such good vibes which makes a huge difference in your dining experience. Their vibes really set the tone for our experience. Located in the Long Beach Exchange, Sosogu has a beautiful indoor and outdoor area. Parking was easy as there is a large parking lot. Definitely check this restaurant out!! read more

Dropped in for happy hour and was not disappointed! I tried their sake-based martini, which was excellent--cool, crisp, and refreshing without being too sweet. From the happy hour menu, we ordered the wings, tempura, and crab roll. I love that they serve full wings here, and the crab roll uses real crab meat--not imitation. The tempura was light and perfectly fried, not greasy at all, and I appreciated that they included shishito peppers. I also had the toro on crispy rice with caviar, which was absolutely delicious. The toro was rich and buttery, and the caviar added the perfect salty pop to every bite. Overall, Sosogu is definitely a spot to check out when you're at the LBX. Great food, solid happy hour, and a chill vibe--I'll definitely be back! read more

Sosogu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Review is for their sushi, not the Korean side of their food offerings. We had Hokkaido Scallop nigiri and it was so good. Everything else went downhill after that. Sosoguu roll was swimming in eel sauce. (Should be named NotSoGu) J/K Hamachi Yuzu was also overpowered with spicy albacore, so you can't taste the rest of the ingredients such as mango and hamachi. Umami fries were also a confusing flavor and definitely not umami. Parking is crazy on a Friday evening. Also, be warned that u'll smell like BBQ smoke after dining here! read more

First time at Sosoku and such a wonderful experience! The yellowtail sashimi was absolutely delicious and everything was so fresh and beautifully presented. Chef Chris is incredibly talented and clearly puts so much passion into his food. You can really taste the care and creativity in every dish. Can't wait to come back! read more

The food here is good, but twice I have gone at 7:30pm and they didn't want to seat us. They close at 9pm. Sadly I will not be returning ever again. I'll just go a little further out to Torrance for JBBQ. read more

Went for early dinner for our anniversary. Parking was busy and we went to the lot by the old OSH. It's busy in their lot from the three fitness studios around Sosogu. When we arrived, we waited a few minutes before we were sat. Restaurant was not busy, about 40% occupied. This restaurant has teppanyaki service so they had seating with barbecue grills on it. The host chose to seat us at a table. To note, if you are sat against the wall, there is hardly any leg space as the table is attached to the floor. Our server was super nice and as she took our ordered, she offered to start us off with the house sake for our anniversary. We started with the Nagoya Wings and the Scallop carpaccio and my husband had a beer and myself the Yuzu Pineapple express. My cocktail was on the sweet side and tasted like candy. The chicken came perfectly fried and juicy and the Jidori sauce was delicious. The carpaccio -mandarin slices decorating thenplate looked sad and the amount of scallop slices hardly amounted to even half a scallop. Also maybe it was a bad season for scallops because if not for the mandarins and the vinaigrette, the carpaccio was flavourless. As I am posting these and looking at our photos, we also ordered the Spicy Cucumber. I did not remember we ordered it which speaks to the flavour or lack thereof of this appetizer. We went ahead and ordered the Premier Sashimi Set. We were craving for proper sushi and we were hoping we got it. The carpaccio should've indicated what was coming but decided that maybe it was just that one dish that didn't make the cut. The Sashimi Set was delivered to a the table by another person (not our server) and couldn't even remember and get the fish straight. The Hokkaido scallop on this set was SO fishy tasting I made my husband eat the rest. The rest of the fish were only delicious when dipped in their "yummu ponzu" sauce. The sauce added flavour and masked the old fish taste. Toro and Hamachi which are usually rich (toro) and sweet (hamachi) were just ok. I noticed most people ordered cooked food st this place so maybe they are known for that versus the sushi. I was put off from sushi for awhile after this and for what we paid for, I'll stick to proper Japanese in Costa Mesa and Torrance. read more

My coworker and I came here for lunch since the Hangar was packed and we decided to try this new spot because we both love sushi. We both ordered the Soso Guud since we were pretty hungry. Here's what it came with: Edamame - simple, steamed and lightly salted. Bluefin tuna sashimi - tasty, especially with the ponzu sauce. Albacore & Salmon nigiri - not great. The fish was tough and grisly, the rice fell apart as soon as I picked it up and the albacore had a slight fishy smell that made me question its freshness. Hamachi & Seabream nigiri - definitely better than the albacore and salmon but the rice consistency was still an issue. Toro hand roll & Blue crab hand roll - loved both of these. They were flavorful and delicious. Service from the kitchen was extremely slow, which was surprising since we only ordered sushi and there were just two other tables with customers at the time. That said, our server was wonderful and apologetic about the long wait. Overall, this place is a 2-star spot for me. I wouldn't come back for sushi but I'd consider returning just for the hand rolls. read more

Great spot! Ordered the crispy rice, Hokkaido scallops, soso guud, sake flight, shiso fine, and a couple beers. Soso guud and the Hokkaido came out at a good pace, rice is well seasoned and the fish is fresh and went very well with the sake flight. With my beers the crispy rice was great, I got it with the caviar per the waitress's recommendation and it was spot on. Lastly I finished off my dinner with the shiso fine and it was a great way to end the work day. Service was great, Simone was attentive but not overwhelming, I was able to take a couple work calls and get work done while still feeling like she was checking on me and made she I was okay--whole reason I kept ordering more. If you want a nice modern spot for date night, dinner with clients (which I seen a lot of), or do what I did and have a solo dinner, this is a great spot. read more

If you can't decide between BBQ and sushi, then this is the place for you! Sosogu is serving up fresh sushi and tender plates of Japanese BBQ. We started off with their Nagoya style wings which were crispy and sweet, along with some edamame. Then we got their beef tongue and ribeye, along with their sosogud sushi set. The meat plates were a bit small, so I recommended getting 3-4 plates to share between two people, or get one of their sets. Their cocktail, beer, and drink list have great variety to pair with your meal, and overall it was a delicious time! read more

Came by on a Friday night. The restaurant is right next to Ra Yoga by the hangar at LBX and had both indoor and outdoor seatings. We got seated pretty quickly without reservation at around 8:30pm. Service was overall pretty good. For food, the two of us ordered the SASHIMI SET (Bluefintuna, Salmon, Albacore, and Hamachi) and wagyu set (with Yuzu Butter Shrimp, Japanese A5 Wagyu NY Strip Loin, Japanese A5 Wagyu Rib Cap American Wagyu Brisket, Beef Tongue, American Wagyu Hanger Steak, and American Wagyu Flat Iron Steak). I also tried their rising sun, which was tasty. Overall the food was fresh and descent but not sure if it was worth the price. Like, it was good but I've definitely had better lol. Anyways, I think it's a good spot to hangout and get Japanese bbq, as the place is quite spacious with nice decors. read more

Horrible Service was not able to even get a table and the place was empty, was told 5 min wait and I waited 30 mins after asking 3 more times how much longer. I did try to give this place a chance but servers will judge you. Pretty sure I didn't look the part for the area hence I was not important to seat but 2 other parties were. If I could i would have rated this place a 0 star on service alone. read more

Sosogu has become a once-in-a-while favorite and while we don't go often we ALWAYS have a great time. The servers are charming and engaging, the food quality is awesome and fresh and you never leave hungry. The silky lit semi smokey atmosphere from the grilling coupled with the calm chatter of other patrons sells a steakhouse vibe with a clean Japanese inspired aesthetic. Fresh sushi offerings coupled with steak and other meats you can grill yourself to your liking? ALWAYS sign me up. read more

Sosogu - Filet Mignon with lettuce wraps and seasoned butter - Sushi Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

I'm so glad that I was able to visit Sosogu. I came for lunch on Saturday, and I loved how they had a lunch menu with special lunch sets for sushi or on the grill. Note that upon request though, they will offer a la carte options for the bbq selection which don't show on the regular lunch menu, just ask your server. We tried the wagyu lunch set, scallop and toro nigiri. The wagyu was soft and flavorful and highly recommended to dip into the provided butter that melts while placed on the stove. The nigiri was soft and melted in our mouths. I'd come back for the toro sashimi alone it was so good. The restaurant carries a more up-scale ambience, but the servers were so nice and helpful. I really want to come back to try their dinner menu and their sushi sets/handrolls. read more

Nice vibes overall -- great ambiance, chill music, and comfy chairs. I sat at the bar and enjoyed the atmosphere. Service was on the slower side, but there was only one bartender, so it's understandable. It also feels like they're still working out some of the operational kinks. I ordered the Toki-O Old Fashioned during happy hour and highly recommend it -- really well made. We also tried the chicken sandwich, which was very filling and definitely big enough to split if you're ordering multiple items to share. Next was the spicy albacore cut roll, which comes with three different sauces in the side (regular soy sauce, garlic, and a spicy ponzu) -- a nice touch and fun to try. We ended with the garlic noodles; the flavor was good, but they could've used another minute or so of cooking as they were a bit chewy. Solid potential here, just needs smoother service and a little more consistency. read more

Sosogu - Cocktail and whiskey menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

If I had to sum up Sosogu, I would say it would be a place I would love to have near me. It was a lot going for it like plenty of tables, not too loud or crowded, great service and solid food. We started with the shishito peppers, edamame and spicy tuna crunch. All three were executed perfectly. I could've eaten the entire plate of spicy tuna crunch. Also the spicy edamame was fantastic and addicting. We couldn't get enough of it. On to the rest of the meal. We ordered a BBQ set for two that we split amongst three people. Honestly, it was really affordable for the amount of food. Soup, noodles, salad, cucumbers, kimchi and a healthy amount of beef, pork and shrimp. The quality of the items we grilled were good, but possibly could've been a tad better but overall an enjoyable meal. I will certainly be back to try more next time. read more

I would give a place with rats 5 stars if parts of it could make it up for the whole experience. So giving this place a 1 star really says something. First of all, the service?!?! Genuinely speechless. I don't expect much but at a pricier all you can eat place where I can only order TWO items at once I expect to see the server more than ONCE every 30 minutes? ESPECIALLY if we are the ONLY table there!!! And she was giving us a little attitude too on top of it like we were bothering her for wanting to order... Then, after our first order where only two people got 2 pieces of Nigiri each, they "ran out of salmon and tuna." It was 12:30pm. Again, we were the only table at this time. We still did our best to enjoy our lunch but to really put the nail in the coffin, at the end we all decided to get a dessert (note: they have ONE dessert option), and you'd never guess. They're all out of green tea ice cream! The ONE dessert option! By this time it is 1:30 pm and they have apparently been out of ice cream since YESTERDAY (the ONE dessert option). The food is good and the place has so much potential. But all of this was seriously too upsetting to brush off. I will be making sure no one I know ever wastes their money here because there are WAY better options around. Maybe having rats would make this place better because at least there'd be something to look at while you wait forever for food that never comes because they probably ran out of it. read more

So happy this gem of a place opened up in town - they have both Japanese BBQ and sushi! My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday evening around 7pm. We had to wait a bit to get seated, but it didn't take us too long. We got: the ribeye, skirt steak, short rib, spicy tuna crunch roll (although I don't think they have this on the menu anymore), american wagyu hanger, and filet mignon medallions with miso butter. Everything was amazing! I also loved the interior of the place and especially the little waterfall they have. I'll come back whenever I'm feeling a little boujee as it can be a little pricy depending on what you're getting. read more

Sosogu means "to pour or sprinkle over" in Japanese. Cute how they play off the word, naming rolls and courses "So So Guud." They certainly have a sprinkle of everything from appetizers, soups, salads, noodles, sushi, bbq meat and desserts. The place is very spacious with a sushi bar counter, tables with grills, regular tables and a small outdoor patio. They have an impressive selection of sake and Japanese whisky as well as some creative cocktails, beer, wine and nonalcoholic beverages. Being the only Japanese BBQ restaurant in LB, patrons can enjoy the experience of grilling fine quality meat at the table. I've been here a couple times now and have loved the Japanese A5 Wagyu ribeye cap, beef tongue, spicy pork, garlic shoyu Jidori chicken and the veggie medley. The meat is thinly sliced so it cooks quickly. The portion is pretty small for the price point, but I guess we're paying for quality. For small bites, I LOVE their panko crusted crab cakes. The Hokkaido scallop carpaccio and hamachi crudo were fresh and delicious. The Japanese street corn was okay. For raw fish, they have different sushi courses, nigiri, hand rolls, sashimi sets and signature rolls. I really liked the Summer Roll, which included albacore, spicy tuna, avocado, tobiko, yuzu and cilantro. For dessert, I tried the Brick Toast, which was soft, milky and buttery, but it was a whole lot of bread! The cream and fruit on top was fresh. Overall, I liked that it wasn't too sweet. Service has been friendly and attentive. Great addition to LBX! read more

10/10 recommend! It was my first time at Sosogu and it was spectacular! We had amazing service and I wish I would've got their names because they deserve a raise. The restaurant was pleasant and clean. I hate when I walk into barbecue places and they're not well ventilated but this was not a problem here. We started with Soso sumo for our sushi and everything was perfect. I didn't get a picture of the tuna in a Ponzo sauce, but it was heavenly. I'm not sure if they sell it all a cart or if you have to order the whole sushi fixing because I could've ordered 10 of them. The meat was great and my cook (brother-in-law) cooked everything to perfection. We will definitely be back because the quality is worth it. read more

Went to Sosogu for dinner which is located near the Hangar at Long Beach. They have indoor and outdoor seating and we were able to sit outdoor with our dog. My husband and I came during happy hour and ordered drinks, which were $2 off, and the Nagoya wings and tempura. We ended up ordering the Soso Gud Sushi course which included edamame, sashimi, and hand rolls. Everything was very good and fresh! The drinks were okay, but the food made up for it! Sosogu offers both sushi and jbbq. They also give you the option for a set menu for grilling if you're in the mood for that instead. I Would definitely come again and try out other things! The area is located in a plaza with a bunch of restaurants and shops so there is a lot to do around the area. read more

It's mid. All around. The sushi rolls are an hit or miss, the service is slow (and does that trick where they don't come around for final round of happy hour orders but then show up at 5:03 saying happy hour is over but would we like more than just the split appetizer), and the inside is dark and unwelcoming. I've been a couple times with different friends and never once have I seen more than 4-5 tables being occupied. The best thing I can say about this spot is that the drinks are good and it's one of the few places you can get a highball, but that's basically it. read more

Ambience was very nice Service was good. Food left something to be desired, but it also wasn't disappointing. The ambience makes it seem like it's gonna be premium dishes. It was just OK to be honest. Spicy edamame didn't have much of a flavor. Mostly oily. Salmon roll with the mango was just OK. It was just missing something. Spicy tuna crunch was the best thing we had We had the beef appetizer. That was actually pretty good. read more
