Sushi Kara - Asian Fusion Near Me - Long Beach, California

Super glad we found this place! I've been missing good sushi since my fave place closed. We were in the area for an event & wanted sushi, so we decided to check this place out. Looking at reviews, it's been around quite awhile. Friendly staff got us seated, and it seemed quiet at first. But in about half an hour, more & more people came in, and it became quite filled! Restaurant looks smaller from the outside. Sushi came out to be really generous portions, feesh & delicious. They also had halibut fin, which was a plus for me! And I know sushi pieces were bigger than most because it was actually difficult to eat one in one bite, lol. The rolls we had were interesting too, and very flavorful! My husband ordered the chicken katsu curry, & he enjoyed it. When we first told the server we were hungry, she said we had come to right place - she wasn't kidding, we left very full & satisfied! I'll be back in Long Beach again, & will come back for sure! Highly recommend this place! read more

Sushi Kara - 10/10 coming back to get more rolls. Sorry I didn't get the names of the rolls but they're all so delicious. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Long Beach, California

If I'm in the mood for some Chicken Katsu I go to Sushi Kara in Long Beach off Bellflower Blvd. Salad is good tasting with a bit of sweetness to it!. Chicken Katsu is the best I've had since moving back from Hawaii! I had my order to go, but if you do dine in atmosphere is nice with friendly service! I've eaten there almost a dozen times. Spicy California roll is good has a kick to it but not a flame thrower. Just right amount to make it. Meal also comes with a cup of Miso soup which is tasty. I recommend this place, lots of food to choose from! Chicken Katsu is ono, which means delicious in Hawaiian! Thank you Sushi Kara! read more

We were in Long Beach for an appointment, so looked for a sushi place close by. Found Sushi Nara had decent reviews. Easy to find using our car navigation system. My wife and I are on low sodium diets, so this place worked out perfectly. We started by sharing a large bottle of Sapporo which was served with chilled glasses. We each ordered the crab cucumber salad, and we shared a tuna roll, salmon roll and Washington roll. The sushi was very good, not exceptional. I much prefer octopus cucumber salad over the fake crab. Would want to try their other Japanese dishes like the tempura. read more

Been here a handful of times, we will come here just to get the oh my garlic roll. It's just so good, it melts in your mouth. I love the creaminess, and the garlicky flavor it just goes together so well. Garlic is amazing but who would have thought it'd go so well with sushi! We recently tried the hot mess, and we loved it, the crispy tempura, spicy tuna and sauce. They have such a wide selection of rolls, and food options. The food comes out quickly, the staff is very accommodating and it's just a casual quiet restaurant. Definitely get their Oh my Garlic Roll! read more

I frequent a lot of sushi spots and keep coming back to Sushi Kara as my "home" spot. Service is always good, they have a good menu variety, and most importantly the sushi is fresh and tasty! About the only negative was the folded paper "to go" type menu with small print we were given to make our selections... but not enough to move off a five star rating! read more

Welp guess I found our new sushi spot! Came to Sushi Kara out of convenience and left a happy customer. It definitely had the feel of a quick go-to local spot as opposed to a night-out vibe. But the fish quality, selection, and authenticity definitely stood out. To eat we had two rolls, some nigiri, and the i love salmon appetizer. The rolls were packed with flavor but not overly big or sauced up. The sushi was classic and made with greats cuts. Pro tip: order the real side of wasabi. Game changer! Whether you're looking for fun rolls or classic sushi, Sushi Kara is more than enough for a great sushi fix. read more

The best sushi in LB, great service! We've been coming for 5 years now and never disappointed.

In town for work, and my colleagues and I were in the mood for sushi. We found this place on Yelp, and decided to stop in. Really good sushi! Large serving sizes for the rolls, and a big choice of rolls! Our server was great, she kept our glasses full and brought our food out promptly. No complaints at all from that standpoint. I didn't find the prices to be unreasonable, so would fully endorse stopping in if you are in the area. Glad we visited! read more

Miso soup was delicious and staff was very kind. We visited around 3:30, close to csulb as a plus read more

Sushi Kara - bamboo roll, 24. Candy Roll, california roll - Asian Fusion Near Me - Long Beach, California

LOVED!! was craving sushi and decided to try this small, family owned business. Fish was super high quality!! We ordered bluefin tuna carpaccio, bluefin toro sushi, 3 hand roll lunch special, Scottish salmon carpaccio, and Scottish salmon sushi. I was surprised how thickly sliced the carpaccio was especially since most places do more fine and thin. The uni was so fresh I could taste the ocean. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. The service was also amazing and the food came out super fast. (Alot of parking space in the plaza.) read more

Sushi was delicious!! Service was subpar-- waitress forgot to bring us our starters, plates, and the ginger. Kind of annoying having to ask for everything. read more

The service was prompt and my service was okay... "To my surprise, my appetizers and main dishes arrived at the same time, which felt a bit rushed. It would have been nice to enjoy the appetizers first, allowing for a better dining experience." The garlic spicy edamame was a disappointment lacking the promise kick filled of soy sauce ! based on my experience no more read more

Sushi Kara is awesome! I've been here more than a handful of times and it's always been great! It's a small restaurant with inside seating, and very clean. The workers are friendly and quick. I've brought family and friends and everyone loves it! They have a great selection of sushi! read more

The food is amazing!! The vegetable tempura has the perfect amount of tempura batter, cooked to perfection, and tastes amazing. Their avocado rolls are delicious. My family loves their spicy tuna rolls, rainbow roll, and dragon roll. read more

Food just ok. Spicy edamame excellent but expensive. Ginger chicken with absolutely no ginger flavor. Exchanged for popcorn lobster with California roll. Little pieces of fried batter and drenched in sauce. Unable to eat the rolls. Much more expensive than comparable sushi restaurants read more

Greeted and seated right away. Fast services, friendly, attentive So many delicious options, I don't know what to pick but I know myself, I can't be greedy wanting everything.

Best sushi place ever! I drive over an hour just to come eat here. Everything tastes fresh & very quick friendly customer service

This place was a random stop for me and the kids. We wanted saki 2 me. But I said hey let's try a different place. And came across this restaurant. Once arrived, the place is a bit small but very accommodating for our party size of 7. Waiters was very welcoming and the staff was all nice and polite. Now down to the main event. The sushi 1000 out of 10. The food was amazingly good. Taste was super fresh. We ordered almost 9 different plates of sushi and with every bite of each one was AMAZING!!!! We will be returning very soon. read more

Ordered 3 rolls today. Rice was under cooked and crunchy. Instead of standard sushi trays with wasabi and ginger, we were given one small tray to share with 3 people. Sushi appearance and flavor was adequate. Men's restroom was gross! Urinal was nonfunctional with a handwritten sign saying do not use. 3 rolls, 1veggie tempora and a cup of green tea came to $71. No pot of green - just a cup with a tea bag. Service was okay. We asked for water and received 2 not 3. The 2nd server was attentive and professional. We won't be back-don't live in the area but if we did, we'll go elsewhere for sushi. read more

First time here and I'm seriously impressed. The place is super clean and the staff were all really nice. I tried a roll I've never seen anywhere else and it was so good. The sashimi was super fresh, so I had to get some sake with it. I'm a huge sushi fan and I can't believe I just found this spot. Pretty sure I'll be coming back all the time. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's one of our local faves. They have really good yellowtail belly and my favorite roll is the 911 roll. They just remodeled which gave it a classier cool vibe. Servers are always nice and knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend. read more

I got take out from here recently during my lunch. I really wanted to dine in with a friend who was ordering food next door but Sushi Kara didn't allow us to bring in outside food. I ended up just getting their cucumber roll ($18). It was a large roll that came with some salmon, tuna, a lot of imitation crab, and avocado. They kinda skimmed on the salmon and tuna but overall it was good and tasted fresh. It was large but I thought that was still kinda pricey. My one roll took about 10-15 minutes. The inside of this place is super casual and the owner was nice. read more

I've been here looooooooong ago so long I think it was under a different ownership because the food and atmosphere seem to have improved. We tried 5-6 rolls, the calamari, miso soup, and. hand rolls and we were happy with everything. In fact the calamari could have been a bigger portion, given how quickly my kids gobbled it up and fighting over the last piece. Food was fresh, service was pleasant, quick and attentive. We went on a random Wednesday night and it wasn't busy. No one likes waiting to eat. read more

I like this place. In a short time it has become my favorite go to sushi spot. I have enjoyed everything I have tried so far. I've tried many types of dishes there, sushi, rolls, hot food. All decent. It's not a big place but I never have wait super long for seating. That may be because of the times I go but I can only go off my experience. They are a bit expensive but I don't know a sushi place that isn't. If you are looking for a quick bite or just a nice quiet no frills sushi place this place is great. read more

Went to sushi Kara for the first time and ordered to go. Staff was super friendly, the place was clean, and the wait time wasn't bad at all. The mixed tempura was delicious! The crunchy roll was great too. Lots of extra crunchy stuff which I loooove. The teriyaki chicken bowl was decent. Great amount of rice and liked the veggies under it. I would ask for more teriyaki sauce next time. Overall would order it again! read more

I ordered it on Ubereats. What I got was all really good. -baked green mussels -crunchy spicy tuna roll -spicy tuna rice crispy This was my first time eating from here, but it was really good. Definitely will be ordering from here again. read more

Ordered take out and umm... Candy roll and Ruby roll - no eel sauce, just mayo on both all willy nilly, unappetizing and lacked taste Baked albacore roll - this was very very baked, tuna was tough and flavorless Japanese curry chicken katsu - curry was good, chicken was fried to the point of being almost crumbly, edges had turned black We ordered a couple other rolls but didn't have the stomach to keep trying. Order came out to $130 after tip. read more

Yummy! We shared several different rolls. All were very nice. Our server was attentive but not hovering. We arrived just after 6:00pm and were seated promptly. Shortly afterward there were no seats available. Their takeout business was a constant flow while we were there. Worth the visit. Give them a try. read more

We've been a few times in person since my last review (our friends convinced us to try it) and it was good every time. I'm not sure what happened the time we got takeout, but dine in is delicious. Maybe it was an off night. read more

Food was good. However, disappointed because I had higher expectations for the cucumber roll. I uploaded a picture of what Doordash says the Cucumber roll is and another pic is what a got. What a let down. I wouldn't have paid $7 for that. At least I now know for next time! Curious who is responsible for uploading pics found on a Doordash menu. read more
