We come here whenever we're craving something quick and satisfying. A gentle heads-up: if you're hunting for top-tier, Michelin-level sushi, this probably isn't the place, and that's okay. Don't come expecting the moon just to complain it's not orbiting close enough. This is a small, no-frills spot serving affordable, decent sushi that actually taste good. Solid flavors, a nice variety of rolls and handrolls, and perfect for when the sushi craving hits but the budget says "be reasonable." Service is usually fast and easy, but today (12/17/25 at 4:40pm) was a standout. The guy who took our order mentioned he used to work in the kitchen, and he was an absolute gem, super sweet and genuinely went above and beyond. The place also looked (and smelled) spotlessly clean, for anyone who claims otherwise or maybe we simply got here on a good day? To top it off, an unpleasant couple came in after us, and the cashier/server (one guy doing everything) handled the situation with total grace and professionalism. We were so impressed that we ended up tipping him around 80% , yes, eighty. So no, this isn't top-tier sushi. But if you want affordable sushi that taste good, comes out quickly, and is served with kindness, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Sometimes that's exactly what you need read more

Although I did take out, I was super impressed with the quality of the fish for the price! The cashier was super sweet upon greeting and even explained that they had a customer loyalty program which I think is charming and definitely attracts people to return. I was returning home, but wanted to catch the sunset somewhere off the PCH to enjoy a light meal. Unfortunately, I didn't find a spot till dark but got to enjoy it off the coast and under the stars. I got the Kyoto, salmon maki, and spicy tuna hand roll. To start, one thing I enjoyed was that they give you sauce containers which is super helpful to dip the sushi and a nice little added touch. Wish they included sriracha or a hot sauce but that may have fallen on me for not asking. NOTE: the rice to fish ratio was absolutely on point! The tuna hand roll was light with a slight kick, so a little more heat would have been nice. The salmon maki was perfect and well-centered. And now for the main course, the nigiri. The 12 piece had such assortment with core staples like tuna, salmon, unagi, masago, ebi, and Tako. But unique ones that were so pleasant were the ikura, smoked salmon, oyster, aka ebi, aji, and uni. Absolutely stellar and so savory. Definitely will be back when visiting the area! read more

Okay, guys, when it comes to cheap sushi, you can't have high expectations. However, Sushi Boy always hits the spot. This is the go-to place when my father-in-law craves sushi and just wants to fill up his belly. We'll order their Sakura Platter and we've rolls for the whole family with a side of market sashimi for a little sushi party at home. Service (5/5): You can call in and they'll have a platter ready for you in 15-20 minutes. No fuss, and they'll give you everything you need. The person at the front is always pleasant. Ambiance (3/5): Nothing really sticks out. It's a well-decorated place, but I have to admit, I've only eaten in once, as we often just grab and go. However, I do see families hanging out and like that they have an outdoor covered seating with plastic covers on the sides too to keep out flies and street pollution. Food (4/5): This is not quality sushi by any means, but it hits well just the same. When you want to stuff your face with CA rolls, spicy tuna rolls and salmon rolls without breaking the bank, this place has you covered. As my father-in-law's go-to, we'll have a huge platter from here maybe 2-3 times a year and it never disappoints. They have a lot of other standard fare like teriyaki meats and whatnot, but this is the place to get lots of cheap sushi and platters for parties. We'll be back, I'm sure of it. read more

Sushi Boy - Sakura Platter with California rolls, salmon rolls, and spicy tuna rolls. Great amount for a great price! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Torrance, California

They had our order ready in 10 minutes. I ordered take-out and got the 3 item combo with the teriyaki chicken, Torrance roll, and salmon nigiri. Teriyaki chicken was a bit dry. Torrance roll was also okay. Fish wasn't super fresh on the salmon nigiri, and there was a small bone inside, but overall, it's very... OK. Satisfied my craving, but it's not the best sushi in the entire world, but if you're looking for cheap and quick, this is the spot for you! read more

Sushi Boy is fresh, deliberate, and saucy. I called in an order for four rolls, and it was ready for pickup in just 15 minutes. Although all four rolls were doused in sauce, it worked well for them. While the rolls tasted more or less the same, they were still satisfying and hit the spot. In terms of food, price, and intentionality, here is what I liked: two of the rolls featured shrimp tempura with a perfect crunch. Another roll had boiled ebi (not tempura), which was very tasty, and the fourth roll topped with salmon was satisfying. For future orders, I'll make sure to look for rolls featuring tempura, boiled ebi, or salmon. The order was affordable, coming to about $45 with tip. I also appreciated that they include handy circular plastic containers for mixing soy sauce and wasabi; I haven't seen any other takeout sushi spots do that. read more

A solid spot for sushi and other fast Japanese fare. I ordered some takoyaki and a couple of pieces of sushi for lunch. The takoyaki was only around $6 for about 4, and they were nicely fried and crunchy on the outside with the creamy octopus inside and complimented with mayo, takoyaki sauce, and bonito flakes. I ordered salmon and ikura sushi. I love sushi when it looks like the emoji lol and they also hit the spot. Delicious quick food aside, I want to talk about how great the service was. I was advised while ordering to get other specific items so I can save money. I could also hear the gentlemen who took in my order tell another patron to order another similar but cheaper menu item so he wouldn't spend too much. There's something to be said about that, and that thing is good! My food was also ready and placed intricately on my table at lightning speed. Just a great spot to eat. read more

My boys inhale sushi. To make my wallet survive, we take them regularly to Sushi Boy (and also the cousin restaurant of Kozo Sushi in south Torrance with a nicer building). You'll chuckle that my boys actually grade hand rolls, specialty rolls and nigiri from Sushi Boy higher than some of those swanky cloth-napkin, must-show-up-in-fancy-shoes kind of restaurants! The food is delicious. The staff is down to earth, family oriented and relaxing unpretentious. Bathrooms are not great. But we overlook that as the pro-con analysis is still highly favorable. The website and app do not work. There is no way to login. We've just accepted this as a fact of life. But the phone number for purchase rewards works! Based on how much money we spend here, we are getting free items (free tempura, soup, sushi combos) every visit! My wallet sings praises too. Don't sleep on Sushi Boy. read more

Sushi Boy doesn't really have anything special, but it's an incredible value for decent taste. I typically will get their Dragon Roll or Spicy Shrimp Roll. My favorite dish is the chicken teriyaki bowl because you can sauce it up however you'd like. Overall staff is quick to get your food out! A clean place to dine in or takeout! read more

My review is based off of nostalgia and the fact of actually visiting a Sushi Boy brick and mortar. Back in 1999 I went to the Sushi Boy location inside Marukai's food court. I was then introduced to a roll that I highly judged because 1. it wasn't fish based 2. there was lettuce in it 3. I knew this thing would fall apart when picked up. What I didn't know is the magic behind a simple combination adding their teriyaki sauce. Its been some years that Sushi Boy left the Marukai food court and I felt I was at a loss on this roll. Since I don't live in the South Bay area it is a huge trek to come down just for sushi. Marukai is an exception since my mother's church is nearby and she loves to do her Japanese food shopping their. The roll that I'm raving about is their Chicken Maki. Simple: rice, chicken, lettuce, sesame seeds. When you add their teriyaki sauce, it is all good! This past weekend I had plans to visit the area and made a point to come to Sushi boy before heading to my destination. I had a couple of friends with me. It was their first time. I told them it is fast food sushi but its pretty good and the price is just right. 90% of the items in the photos of this review were my friend's order and they killed everything. Even the salad. The person at the register was really helpful as well. There is a menu up above and behind the register but when I asked for the chicken maki he showed me a more extensive menu that was laid out on the countertop. He also brought the order out to our table and while not knowing a key is needed to use the restroom, he handed it to me before even asking. There are a few staple food places/items for me in the South Bay and Sushi Boy has one of them. Glad to have made it. Parking: medium sized lot VERDICT: Rinse and repeat read more

On April 17th ,we ordered from here, little did we know what was waiting for us a few hours later. When I tell you my husband and I got violently ill in a matter of a few hours , it is no joke. Before they say maybe it wasn't them, my husband and I both ate the same thing and it was the only meal we ate exactly the same so we know. The first five days were brutal, after the first week my husband started slowly getting better, while I was not. I avoided going to the doctor because there isn't much they can do about food poisoning or a stomach bug. I let myself go 19 days before I ended up in the emergency room, severely dehydrated and found out I didn't have a stomach bug. I had salmonella poisoning. We didn't have any type of poultry from here of course but we do think there was some sort of cross contamination and our order got it! I hope no one else gets or got sick from here but if you do , please go to the ER! Unfortunately I will never eat here again! read more

Ordered Sushi Boy on Thanksgiving Day, 11/23/23. Calling in an order was easy. The person who took my order was friendly and nice. So grateful that they're open during the holidays. Really make it easy on those who aren't able to cook. We ordered the California platter which comes with California rolls, tuna rolls and salmon and avocado rolls. The platter was a big hit at our family Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone loved it! The rolls were fresh and really delicious. The ambiance is cool and relaxing. They have tables for those who want to dine in. We ordered from the Harbor city location and we prefer this Torrance location better. Clean and friendly staff. Easy parking as well. Definitely recommend and we will definitely be back! read more

It's been a while since I've been to a SB. This one seems pretty good. Place is pretty clean. Staff helpful. More take away vs dine in.

I had a very bad experience. I went in before their closing time 8pm and they refused service to me. If you are going to write you close at 8 you shouldn't close any earlier than 8. read more

For a quick bite to eat in or for take out, Sushi Boy is a convenient place to stop for Japanese food. They have a variety of rolls, bowls, and combinations to choose from on their menu and it's also easy to order ahead by phone or online. Service is quick so you don't have to wait too long after you order before getting your food, if you place your order at the counter. I have not ordered any party trays yet, so I'm not sure how far in advance you need to place these orders. The Hawthorne location has a small seating area with maybe 6 to 8 tables, so it's convenient to eat indoors there. Today we ordered a Bento Box with Karaage Chicken and a Salmon Avocado roll (4pcs) and two 3 Item Customized Combos. One combo had Teriyaki Chicken, Shrimp Tempura (3 pcs), and Beef Sukiyaki and the other one had Teriyaki Chicken, Karaage Chicken, and a Spicy Tuna Roll (4pcs). The customized combos come with either white or brown rice, miso soup and salad. The Spciy Tuna roll was not spicy at all and the Karaage chicken was "OK". The portion was pretty good, but the flavor was just average. read more

Super rude was coming in to buy food but really needed to use the lavatory first after a long drive I expressed that I was going to buy and if that I could plz use restroom first cashier started to yell at me to buy first and walked away until I bought something.

Great little spot for a quick lunch. Sushi was fresh and delicious! We got their chicken teriyaki combo plate and two sushi combo plates along with their tempura platter(the sweet potato was my favorite).

Sushi not worth it. Sashimi was not fresh. I ordered a bento with salmon, but I didn't get salmon teriyaki. I got a mixture of cucumber and salmon and sashimi on rice. I also didn't finish my food because the fish was soft and not anywhere up to sushi standard. Look at the photo of their raw salmon sitting in the kitchen without refrigeration! read more

The good: I got a Grubhub gift card from my brother for mother's day so I treated myself today to a sushi dinner! I got a croquette, cucumber roll, unagi roll and lemon shrimp roll. I like that there were many non raw fish options since I'm trying to satisfying my sushi craving while on a pregnancy diet. My order was neatly packaged. It was also great for my toddler who doesn't eat raw fish yet. My toddler ate almost the entire croquette (it had corn bits in it) and one cucumber roll. I enjoyed all 3 rolls. They were the right size and seemed fresh. I enjoyed the lemon shrimp roll a lot and liked that it wasn't overly doused in sauce. This isn't a fancy, deluxe sushi spot necessarily but it had everything I wanted and didn't disappoint! The bad: They don't have dessert options. This isn't Dessert Boy. The interesting: They have 2 locations in Torrance. read more

I went to get a California roll here today (Saturday, July 6 / 4:10p/ Gustavo was the cashier). When I entered restaurant, the cashier was chatting with his girlfriend who was hanging around the counter. No other customers were in the restaurant. As I stood waiting to order, I noticed that the cashier was using his bare hand to wipe his nose and rub his eyes. I decided to order anyway. But, as I was sitting waiting for my food, the cashier continued to wipe his nose and eyes with his bare hands. Then, he picked up the bag and was getting ready to place my food inside. I stopped him and politely asked him to wash his hands before he handled my order. This guy refused to wash his hands even though a sink was right behind him. He kept asking me why it mattered that he touched his eyelids and face. Then, his girlfriend had the audacity to question me and accuse me of being a problem. I demanded a refund and he said, "Good". How disgusting. I will never eat here again. read more

They can improve by getting rid if the horrible cashier. Shes very rude. You can order online to get the 10% discount so I sit down online and I can't order online because they're closing. So I tell her this and she tells me I never told you to order online. I told her I came here to get my 10% discount and you told me to order online so what do you think I'm sitting here doing. She told me you have to order online to get the discount and I said ok and sat down and tryed to order but it wouldn't take the order because it was 6 mins to 8. That's not my fault she said. I mean really why does she have to be so rude. I mean really. Then she was saying bye-bye. Too bad they closed the sushi boy on 190th st. because those workers were friendly and competent. My orders were always right not like this place where there's always something missing. There were no rude ignorant people like her. If I could, I would give this place a zero. This place has the worst customer service. I usually only go on yelp to complement service. This is the first time I've ever gone on yelp in my 64 years of life that I bothered to take the time to let everybody know that this is the most horrible service. but now as I'm look that's why you're establishment is barely over a 3. read more

We ordered some sushi online, and the food was not ready when we arrived. After taking a while to find our order, the workers finally made our rolls, and then we were on our way. Unfortunately the rolls were very underwhelming. The rice was not fresh in fact it was dry and a bit hard. The eel in the unagi roll was decent, but maybe that was just because it was drizzled with sauce. I do not think I will be coming back to Sushi Boy... read more
