    Youngster Chicken Bowl
    Cindy R.

    It's on the pricier end compared to where I usually go, but they are delicious and the fish is fresh! I've ordered from here twice now and have really enjoyed the flavors of the rolls; the first time I ordered the Awesome Roll along with a couple others that I don't quite remember at the moment, but I really loved the Awesome one. The kids Youngster Chicken Bowl is a good size as well. My kid really enjoyed the perfectly cooked rice and I thought it was delicious that the teriyaki chicken has bits of veggie mixed in as well. One of the rolls I ordered this time around (yesterday), the Punk roll was a no-rice roll, and it was absolutely delicious! I would order it again. Fresh pieces of fish wrapped in crab salad and rice paper. The sauces it comes topped with is supposedly spicy, but I thought it was perfect. It was a mix of chili oil, sesame oil, and mustard dressing. Let me tell you!! It was a flavor bomb. I also got an eel roll, I think it was the Black Dragon. Very delicious. I did not eat at the restaurant, so I cannot really speak on the service, but one of the staff there was kind to open the door and another inside made sure I got the utensils I needed. It does seem pretty small and in an area where parking is probably tough (I parked on the corner on red since I was just popping in and out), but I will try to make it a point to dine in sometime.

    Fried Calamari

    Sushi Mafia is one of my go-to sushi spots. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, and since I live close enough to walk, I order takeout pretty often. I'm happy to say it's just as good as dining in -- always prepared quickly, fresh, and packaged well. On my most recent visit I tried the fried calamari, which was excellent. It had a great crunch, wasn't chewy, and came with a really delicious sauce. For rolls, I usually stick with the California or spicy tuna, and they never disappoint. Reliable, fresh, and always satisfying.

    The Red Crunchy Roll at Sushi Mafia

    We tried Sushi Mafia for the first time and loved it! The pork gyoza and the tempura were hot and crispy, and the sushi rolls were excellent! Very fresh and beautifully presented. We appreciated the friendly service, great sushi, and will definitely be back next time we come to Long Beach.

    This is a fun casual spot to enjoy some sushi and good drinks with friends. The service is EXCELLENT here. They try to make you feel at home. I came on New Years and they gave everyone a free cup of champagne to celebrate. Everyone had festive new years hats. They were all great! They have a huge menu - if you can't find something you like, you might just be too hard to please. I had the Hello Kitty Hand roll. It's almost too beautiful to eat. But it was great! A wonderful mix of great fish. And no rice, so you really focus on the fish. I also had the LB Sun roll. Also a work of art! This also doesn't have any rice. My only complaint is it was actually harder to eat than I thought it would be since it doesn't have an actual wrap around it. But if you're into sauces, the sauce on this plate is great. My plate was clean by the end of this because I wanted that sauce on every bite. They also serve ramen and sashimi which I definitely want to come back to try. Parking can be rough here since it's downtown LBC. But I eventually found a spot. And it was worth it! Definitely support this great local team business, they're a fun team!

    Cute decor

    This is officially my #1 sushi spot in LB. Freshest sushi & casual dine in. Can't beat the quality & classic roll prices. Updating my review again. We dined in on a Friday around 4pm, right before the dinner rush. Service was excellent and quick. Apps: Small salad for $3 was perfect to complement sushi. Mixed tempura with shrimp is always made to order. The batter and dip are so good. Half shell oysters have tangy ponzu. So delicious. Sushi: the classics are an unbelievable price for the quality. The fish is soft and melts in your mouth. Spicy albacore & salmon cut rolls are a must try. ANY of their fresh rolls with the mustard sauce or amazing sauce topping are FIRE. The Outlaw (baked) was so different than anything I'd ever had. It was more smoky with a barbecue flavor. Probably the Cajun seared tuna. As always, it was clean. Good for small groups (4-8 people) and parking is street. Thank you for a great meal!!!

    Garden salad
    Sue H.

    Stopped in for happy hour on a Sunday night in June and had a very good experience. We started with a squid salad, which was cold and tasted fresh, with big strips of squid. Husband is not a fan so he had a garden salad with a nice ginger dressing. Then out came our spicy garlic edamame, delightful! For entrees, I chose two $7 hand rolls, an eel hand roll (warm) and a salmon skin hand roll extra extra crispy like bacon. Both were prepared exactly as I ordered. I did wonder why the eel roll wasn't eel cucumber or eel avocado. But rice and eel was still good! Spouse had his usual spicy California roll and enjoyed it. Small hot sake $5 sign me up! He likes the Kirin Ichiban beer but not sake. Sometimes we can even order a bomber on sale and split it. Service and ambiance were good, nothing stands out either way in my memory. I do recommend!

    Delicious rolls and I ordered Tonkotsu Ramen, which was good. The Spicy Yellowtail and Godfather rolls were excellent choices! The prices were also decent.

    Little birthday ice cream surprise
    Bethany H.

    First off the food is amazing. For the price, you genuinely can't beat the quality they provide. Everything I had from cut rolls, hand rolls, to nigiri was spectacular (and I've had sushi in Japan). Menu has a ton of amazing options as well if you're vegan, vegetarian or have dietary restrictions. Not to mention they do take-out. This restaurant itself is so cute, very simple besides some wall decor and wall paintings which I love, not the quietest, but I adore a good bustling sushi joint any day of the week. And the service is amazing. Attentive, courteous and kind without being overbearing. My girlfriend had been raving about this place since we started dating so I took her for her birthday. Told them in advance on Yelp when I made a reservation and they handled it all with such kindness and grace. They gave her a birthday ice cream, candle and all. But it didn't end there, they walked up and handed her a Sushi Mafia bag as a present as well!! All around one of the most memorable sushi experiences I've had. You have a new regular

    Sushi & Sashimi Combo
    Amy J.

    I wanted to give this place 4 stars at first. Mainly bc the cuts weren't as thick as places like teburu in north Long Beach. But... every piece of fish was solid. Beer came out in a chilled glass. And the service was a solid 10 stars if I could give this place a 10. This isn't a bougie place but it def hits the spot just right. We came here on Valentine's Day and they brought out little shot classes worth of champagne for every table. Again, I can't say enough about the service. Everyone that was out was able to take your order and help. Glad we stopped by!

    Spicy tuna roll
    Norma S.

    Came here on a Saturday around 6pm. Ordered though and online pick up app. Once arrived food was ready quickly and staff was quick. Place had plenty of seating. But took my order to go. Ordered the spicy salmon roll. Salmon was fresh and good bite size but not spicy. Also ordered the spicy crunchy tuna roll it was spicy but the side sauce was not good. Wish it was eel sauce instead. The miso soup came hot and was good. All in all service quick and good and price was reasonable. Good for a one time try.

    I am a sushi lover and sushi mafia has taken my obsession with sashimi and sushi to a whole new level. For the moment we walked in the staff was all friendly and helpful. The menu was full of different options from appetizers, ramen, udon, sushi rolls, hand rolls, sashimi and more. They start you will phenomenal welcoming miso soup. The bluffing sashimi was out of this work with fresh wasabi on the side. The Spicy jjs, were amazing. The hello kitty hand roll was the best hand roll I've ever had. We will be back because I'm going to need to try everything . The inside was small and intimate.

    So our team and us had to be at the LBC convention center for a work related event well after of course we were hungry so we decided to drop by Sushi Mafia after seeing it on Yelp and the great reviews they had we stopped by and let me tell you upon arriving we got seated and greeted right away , the service and food was absolutely great the sushi all 3 were a 10/10 !! I wish we lived closer I'd come more but next time I'll def stop by make sure you guys check them out !!

    Food: Sushi is very good here. They have tons of options from rolls to hot food. They serve Miso soup as you sit down and the staff are all very attentive and great overall service. The ambiance is modern and clean. They had the football game on so It was a plus for me.

    Yes. They have set up an area with 3-4 tables, right outside. You will probably have to wait, but it's worth it!

But I had heard so many great things about HiroNori that I wanted to try it anyways. My brother especially kept hyping them up, and he LOVES ramen. And I'm glad I decided to try them out! While HiroNori is a SoCal chain, it still feels like a mom and pop restaurant. The crispy rice with tuna was EXCELLENT! Everything you want from crispy rice and spicy tuna. The tonkatsu was delicious! Great depth of flavor. They bring you garlic and spicy paste on the side. I had to add A LOT of spicy paste to get it up to the level I wanted, but while at other restaurants I've lost the broth flavor when adding too much spice, the spicy paste just enhanced the tonkatsu broth. And the pork in the tonkatsu - truly next level. This is probably the best pork I've ever had in a ramen dish. The noodles were also fantastic with the perfect amount of bite. I loved my jammy egg as well. The restaurant itself is smaller, with fun lighting. There is a parking lot which is great. They do not have tipping, instead they have a service charge of a little over 17%. Definitely worth it!

I'm a sukiyaki broth lover, so it's somewhat similar to that taste profile. I like how they also provide garlic and house spicy sauce as it just makes the ramen even better and seals the deal. The crispy rice with spicy tuna is perfection-- you get the bottom bed of crisp with fresh avocados, spicy tuna, and a kick of jalapeño. They also provide watermelon infused water, which was perfect for a warm day out. Although this restaurant is quite small, service was fast and very accommodating. I have been here several times and service plus quality of the food never changes! Seats here don't have any back support but it adds to the modern aesthetic and vibe of the restaurant. I've been eyeing the cucumber crab salad, so I look forward to coming back and trying it next time.

The vibe is clean, trendy, and a bit upscale compared to your typical ramen shop, but still casual enough for a quick meal. The highlight here is definitely the build-your-own ramen concept. You get to choose your broth, noodle type, spice level, and toppings, which makes it easy to dial in exactly what you're craving. The broths are rich and flavorful--especially the tonkotsu-style base, which is creamy without feeling too heavy or greasy. The noodles have a nice chew, and they don't get soggy quickly, which is a big plus if you're someone who takes your time with your bowl. Chashu is tender and well-seasoned, and the soft-boiled egg is consistently done right with that jammy center. What stands out most is the consistency + customization combo. It's not trying to be the most traditional ramen in OC, but it's very dependable and lets you build something that fits your taste every time. The spicy options also actually bring heat, not just flavor. Service is quick and efficient, and the place is usually busy but turns tables fast. Overall, Guramen is a strong go-to in Irvine if you want ramen that's customizable, flavorful, and reliable--more modern ramen bar than old-school ramen shop, but it does that style well.

Like I had to ask for them again. Next we got our ramen and it came with a regular tablespoon. Which I didn't want to make a huge deal out of, but honestly that spoon is only given upon request so to get it out right is weird, especially at a ramen restaurant. I noticed every table around us automatically got the renge. I had to ask for the renge. On top of that I had to ask a random server cause our visited our table once to deliver the water and that it's. We had to ask for our check and for a box and for the renge. Quite ridiculous enough for me to complain about it in a review. Literally go somewhere else it's not worth the 70$ when it tastes like water.
