This is hands down the best sushi I've had in California. Every dish we ordered was perfect -- beautifully prepared, fresh, light, and incredibly flavorful. The portion sizes were excellent, and everything felt balanced and high quality without being heavy. We chose the Izakaya Feast Standard experience, and it was absolutely the best decision. It gave us a great variety and allowed us to try multiple items, all of which were outstanding. You can really tell the attention to detail in every piece. The price felt fair for the quality, the presentation, and the overall experience. It's rare to find a place that delivers this level of consistency. I will definitely be coming back many times. This spot is a new favorite read more

Sushi Roku has a beautifully decorated interior and warm, friendly service that sets the tone right away. We started with the Hamachi, seared albacore, and tuna crudo appetizers, which we found all fresh and flavorful. The yuzu sauce on the Hamachi was tasty, and the tuna crudo had a great mix of textures and tastes. The Wagyu with crispy rice was just okay for me. The rice was a bit too salty and overshadowed the meat. For rolls, we tried the Katana, Gensai, and White Lotus. Katana was definitely my favorite: balanced, clean, and delicious. I also appreciate that their rolls use very little rice, letting the fish and toppings shine. Overall, a lovely meal! I will definitely return for the hamachi and tuna crudo. read more

A lowkey and classy ambiance, spectacular Asian fusion dishes, and the perfect date night for two. Sushi Roku is one of our favorites, and this location is superior. Easy to access, amazing flavors, and ample parking. We love the different skewer options (try all of them!), the delicious salmon wasabi roll, and the yellowtail crispy rice. Service is consistently pleasant and efficient. Make a reservation - they do fill up. I recommend trying to sit in the booth areas, if possible. All-around, I highly recommend this restaurant and will be back again and again. read more

The food was good but not fabulous. Service was super friendly and attentive which helped add an additional star. Restaurant is new and beautifully decorated. We ordered the Japanese Fried Chicken which was a bit dry but seasoned well and was crisp. The miso cod was delicious probably my favorite and very good portion size. Shrimp bacon skewers were a good size but bacon was not crispy. Hamachi Serrano was my second fav, fresh and lots of flavor. Located at the Manhattan Beach Mall so there is lots of parking including valet. read more

Tried this for the first time for lunch. The service was phenomenal. She was pleasant, knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. The decor was attractive and the restaurant and restroom were spotless. The food had numerous standouts starting with the fluke hamachi with yuzu. Delicate fish that was perfectly seasoned. The crispy rice with yellowtail was nicely prepared and had just the right amount of acidity. The ribeye wrapped asparagus missed the mark as the meat was dry. Japanese fried chicken was hot with a beautiful light crispy batter. It was juicy and flavorful. We were presented with delicious cookies and ice cream at the end of our meal to celebrate our anniversary. An overall enjoyable experience. read more

I went to Sushi Roku Pasadena. Excellent food, Excellent service. Ambience is wonderful.

Food Visited this place on a thursday evening for happy hour with coworkers. Got me a beer, a tuna roll and some brussel sprout chips. The tuna roll was pretty standard, good rice texture and good freshness of the food, nothing really to make it stand out. The brussel sprout chips tho were really good. Nice and crispy with really good flavor. I would recommend getting this Service/Ambiance For happy hour, we were not allowed to sit inside due to our big party, so they sat us outside. It was quite cold but at least they had heaters on the patio. The staff were nice and accomodating and definitely a highlight of our meal. Food was served pretty quick read more

Exceptional Sushi Experience & Worth Every Penny! Sushi Roku absolutely delivers on every level. The food was exceptional incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully plated. Every piece tasted clean, vibrant, and precise. You can immediately tell the fish quality is top tier. Fresh, fresh, fresh across the board. The service was equally impressive: super friendly, fast, and attentive without ever feeling rushed or intrusive. The staff clearly knows the menu and cares about the experience. Yes, it's on the pricier side but it is 100% worth it. Portions were adequate, presentation was stunning, and the overall experience felt elevated from start to finish. This is not just dinner, it's an ultra experience. One of the best sushi spots in the South Bay, hands down. Highly recommend. read more

Ive been to several Roku and Boa ,and knew they were jointly owned but none connected physically where they share kitchens and restrooms.Great idea. Here for a lunch meeting and met two amazing staffers The Brilliant and helpful Conceirge Kortlyn and a charming solicitous server Linda. The good was great as expected and certsinly a destintination sushi place with incredible innovative dishes. Although I live in the middle of mid city, will be visiting here and BOA with some frequency.Subway stop at Douglas on the K line is a short walk. Bathrooms are immaculate with plenty of parking We were treated royally and so will you. read more

To start off dinner, we got drinks ofc! I got the Tropical Hibiscus which is a hibiscus-infused dahlia christalino tequila with passionfruit, coconut, lime, and pomegranate, and it was really good but I'm weak and couldn't finish it. In terms of food, we did not leave a thing behind! The Tokubetsu was prob my favorite which was crab, cucumber topped with toro, sea bream, white truffle pesto (ugh again I love truffle), and yuzu vinaigrette. It was so fresh and yummy, I'd get again! The baked crab handroll was good but I think Kazu Nori is my fave handroll. The sashimi was also really good but for some reason wasn't served cold like it was a little warm but the yellowtail was amazing! read more

had a great experience at Sushi Roku. We usually visit the Santa Monica location, but since this new one opened close to home, we decided to give it a try. The ambiance and vibe are immediately noticeable--this location feels much more lively and trendy than the Santa Monica one. The staff were super nice and helpful, especially since we had a party of seven, including a 3-year-old and a 6-month-old. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I ordered the deluxe sushi plate, which included sushi, scallops, and a cut roll. We also shared edamame. We got so much food that I didn't snap a picture of everything, but just know it was all fresh and tasty. We'll definitely be back for more sushi adventures! read more

We had a good time here for my daughter's birthday. The hostess, manager and other employees were very nice and went above and beyond to make the night memorable. I know this sounds cliche, but it is true. It was very crowded and it must have been challenging for them. Nevertheless, everything still worked out well. The teriyaki chicken was amazing, as were the rolls and robata sea bass and bacon shrimp. Can't forget the amazing the lava cake dessert too. Treat yourself! read more

I mean why not give this cool place 5 stars? The inside is awesome, all the tables and booths are super comfy!! Definitely looks like a fancy fine dining restaurant. For my drink I ordered the matcha miruko sour and it did not disappoint! Was pretty damn good! For apps I ordered their pop corn shrimp and the crispy rice with wagyu! They were both yummy, the rice on the crispy rice was a tad too crispy to my liking tho but it was cool. The shrimp and steak were delicious. Ordered some sushi that was also good. Palomal was pretty friendly. Good service. read more

I don't typically love to write reviews involving this subject matter but I will FOOD POISONING My dad and I came to enjoy one night at this new sushi spot we hadn't heard of. Reviews were great, atmosphere looked nice, why not? I'll tell you why not: not only are the rolls incredibly small and pricey, they lack in health and sanitation clearly because we both got violently ill (and no we didn't eat anything the same that day or the day prior because we don't live together and I came to visit solely for that dinner ) or so I thought because we spent the whole next 48 hours sick and in and out of the restroom. The service - shoutout to Nadia - sucked too. She was rude, demeaning, and trying really hard to smile and be polite even though our drinks were also not good. When I asked her for a cocktail I made up on the fly, she looked at me with disgust and went "you mean basically a saketini?!". And don't try speaking to the managers, they will take your $ like they did mine, accuse you of lying or "thinking of somewhere else". Good luck eating here yall, maybe you'll have a better experience I hope but you'll sure go broke and still end up sick or hungry, or both. read more

I preferred this Sushi Roku over the others that I've visited in the past such as Newport Beach. The drinks during happy hour are very affordable ! The Martini was refreshing and classic. We enjoyed a variety of dishes but the whole tuna jalapeño roll was our favorite. The service was super attentive and friendly. The fluke sashimi with kumquat was very refreshing and I would definitely order it again. read more

First time dining at Sushi Roku-Manhattan Beach this past Saturday. The missus and I were famished after a sunset hike in PV, so we stopped here on the drive home. Started with two NEFT Vodka Martinis up, dry, slightly-dirty, extra olives. Ask Brittany to make 'em for you- she does a wonderful job. Appetizers were spicy tuna on crispy rice. Something crave-inducing came next- Brussel sprout leaves with a light dusting of tempura batter. I'd come back just for the Martinis and brussel sprout leaves. An assortment of nigiri and rolls followed. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. The neighborhood sushi places have seen their prices spike, so Sushi Roku is really no longer more expensive. Glad to add this restaurant to my rotation. Extra star for excellent service. GM Jeff, manager Ernie, and bartender Brittany took such great care of us that we felt like valued regulars, not first-time customers. Bon Appétit! read more

This is one of our rotating regular restaurants we go to. I used to not like the one in Santa Monica so I as hesitant to go here.., glad I did! You will get fresh and innovative sushi or just your classic sushi and dishes. Service is always great for us, they are always on top of it and very friendly, specially Jamie the Manger at Sushi Roku, he's such a pleasant man to interact, always makes us feel at home. Ambiance is smaller side but I like it and we come right before it gets slammed and noisy. But even if it's busy, they always make sure to take care of us. Food: Always gets: Hamachi Serrano, fluke Kumquat, eggplant miso, spicy tuna over crispy rice, yellowtail dice chile. We have tried pretty much everything on the menu, can't go wrong. Also, I always get some sushi too. This place is always a consistent place for sushi. read more

I had an incredible dining experience at this sushi restaurant. The food was absolutely outstanding -- every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, the shishito peppers had just the right amount of heat, and the sushi itself was top-tier. The drinks were just as impressive. The mezcal sour was one of the best I've ever had, the dirty martini was perfectly balanced, and the fuke kumquat sashimi was unique and delicious. A special shoutout to Nick, our waiter, who provided exceptional service. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations that elevated the entire experience. read more

Food and service was great, only reason the 4 stars is the pricing... i get that it's in Manhattan beach and catering for its audience but it's pretty steep. Great lunch nonetheless. read more

There are a LOT of sushi places to pick from in this area of the South Bay. Sushi Roku has a great ambiance & decor. Super friendly service. Great selection of drinks. The food is REALLY good, high quality, and fresh. The issue is the menu is limited, overpriced, and really doesnt compete with other sushi places. They do not have a wide variety of rolls. The experience is great, but you are paying $100+ for really $60. If you go here, you are paying the "Vibe or Cool" tax, which means you pay extra to say you went here. read more
