This place is in our regular takeout rotation. The sushi is good quality, and the bento boxes are large enough to fill you up or even share. I usually go for the salmon sushi and spicy tuna rolls, while my partner gets the bento boxes. This time around, we shared a bento box that had everything: fish, two different types of chicken, a California roll, sashimi, salad, potato salad, tempura, and more. It was definitely enough to fill both of us. Sushi West is a must try if you're in the area and looking for a quick, good quality bite. read more

My boyfriend and I ordered food from here via third party app. The food looked delicious and very presentable for sushi to-go. But how are we supposed to eat our food with no utensils? No spoons, forks, or even chopsticks provided. No napkin. Only soy sauce (for the sushi) was provided. Luckily we have spoons, forks, and chopsticks on hand. The tuna sushi and salmon sashimi was delicious. My boyfriend ordered sesame chicken with rice. He seemed to enjoy it since he ate it all. But next time provide utensils when customers order to-go from your restaurant & even third party apps! read more

Came here on a Friday around 11:30 right when it opened fairly busy. Fountain drinks. To order is like cafeteria style. You order up front counter wait for your number then get a tray and grab your own sauces and napkins. Once done throw food and leave tray next to garbage. Ordered the salmon pieces it was good size taste was okay. The spicy tuna it wasn't spicy and a bit fishy taste. The miso soup was good. The sushi was at room temp not cold as I've had in other sushi spots. And since they grill also inside it gets warm. All in all it was an interesting way to eat and for taste to price it was okay. Wish they had waiters it felt more like a to go place. read more

Sushi West - Sushi salmon & spicy tuna roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Fast, casual restaurant serving delicious sushi and Japanese food. The restaurant is a good place for a quick fix for your sushi cravings. The prices with not break your budget. Love the combo items, freshly made and taste home style. My faves are the teriyaki salmon and the sesame chicken. The combo comes with a miso soup and a salad. The staff are wonderful. They greet you when you walk in with a smile and thank you when you leave. The food comes promptly and give you everything you need. Clean dining area, tables too close to each other so it's a bit claustrophobic when it's busy. read more

Fixed my sushi craving in a pinch! The workers were very kind and honestly on a Saturday around lunch time it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be! However, I can see why people would say order ahead. The Aloha roll was pretty good, the gyoza was probably my favorite part though! They have that nailed. Their chicken was alittle dry and their ginger looked alittle less fresh. But I would come back for the kind service, I bet some food is just hit or miss depending on the time of day! Plenty of parking! read more

12 years later I'm still up in here , sushi west is the go to spot ! They accept card now! They have reasonable prices especially in this economy , it's always busy here . You can dine in with family or solo at their little bar section or take out ! But like I said they are always busy ! Love their crunchy roll and eel roll and sesame chicken ! read more

Great neighborhood sushi & cooked Japanese food place. My dad, who was a sushi aficionado, said their sushi was fresh & well sliced. I always get the salmon teriyaki & it's consistently well grilled & tasty. I like their california rolls as it's not the whole piece of fake crab meat surrounded by bunch of rice. Here, they dice the crab & mix with mayo to give it a nice flavor. The tempura was crunchy & well fried. My hubby likes their chicken teriyaki as well as the sesame chicken (fried). He also liked their curry - milder version of the Indian curry. We always enjoy coming here. read more

I pass this place frequently and decided to give it a try. I went in and placed a to go order for a Salmon Bento Box. Inside it was not that busy but I could tell that they had a lot of delivery orders. I waited 22 minutes for my order. I brought it home and At a glance was not overly impressed with presentation. I tasted the salmon and it lacked flavor even though it was smothered with teriyaki sauce. The miso soup was ok. Inside had seating and a sushi bar if dining alone. Beverages are canned with exception of hot green tea. Traditional Japanese snacks at register. Ample parking in the lot outside. Will I return, probably not anytime in the near future. read more

It's a nice little warm place. And when I mean warm it is warm inside this place. They should turn on the AC. But the food is good. And the portions are great. I really like this place. But my complaint is if Mc Donald's doesn't ask for tip why should you? And the reason I say that is I order at the counter, pick up my own food at the counter and then I have to BUS my own plates. They shouldn't have to ask for tips. Specially when the cashier gives you a look like "no tip". At the end if I am in that direction and u want sushi Yes I will stop by and get something. But I won't go out of my way to go buy sushi there. read more

The best spot for a quick casual Japanese fix! I got the two item combo with beef and shrimp tempura and it reminded me of a home cooked meal made with love. The beef was so tender and the tempura was very crispy. And idk what it is about Japanese rice but it's so good! The combo also comes with miso soup and a salad which I didn't mind eating. More food for me! The people at the register and behind the counter were very kind and greet you coming in and out. The food came out promptly, and everything that you need is provided to you. If you're around the area, stop by and grab a bite! They have sushi too which isn't too bad. read more

Always consistent, never disappoints. I tend to order the same every time because the flavors are perfect. Sesame chicken is my fave!

Had a hankering for the sesame chicken. So, I ordered the three item combo (sesame chicken, California roll, tempura). 1130am, and they must've used the chicken from yesterday and threw it back in the deep fryer because my jaw is sore! It's SO chewy it's unenjoyable. waste of a meal. read more

I arrived today at 3p.m. and was warmly greeted by the cashier. I ordered Combo 7, which included salad, rice, three pieces of sushi, chicken teriyaki, gyoza, and miso soup. A gentleman--whom I believe was the owner--took a moment to thank me for coming in, which I found truly appreciated. read more

In my past life with Yelp, I had written over 870 reviews and was even part of the "Yelp Elite" for 9 years...but I got burned out. I've now come out of "Yelp retirement" to write this review. We have eaten at Sushi West many, many times in the past 10 years or so and we have had a variety of items from the menu, including different bento boxes and combo plates, the curry, plus of course a variety of different rolls. Everything has been very good and enjoyable. 99% of the time over the years we have dined in, until about 6-7 months ago when we started taking our food to-go more and more often. Everything we have ordered to-go has been just as delicious as when dining in, aside for one glaring exception... the tempura shrimp. Yes it's still the same tempura shrimp as when we dine in and just as delicious looking, but there's one major problem. Please allow me to explain..... When the mixed tempura is served for dining in, it's beautiful, crispy, flavorful and has a small container of tempura sauce sitting next to it on the plate (or bento box) to dip into. OK now when it's ordered to-go... it's still beautiful and crispy, but for some reason, which for the life of me I DO NOT understand.... they pour teriyaki sauce all over the tempura shrimp! WHAT THE.....?? Tempura shrimp is TEMPURA.... NOT teriyaki. OK .... after that experience I learned I can order the tempura w/o the teriyaki sauce, but I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS!!! So the next time I ordered it without the teriyaki sauce and when we got home, no teriyaki, great! However, there was also NO tempura dipping sauce! OH COME ON! This evening when at the counter ordering my to-go order, I asked the counter staff about this, but it was like talking to a deer in headlights, they weren't able to give me any answer. I sincerely hope the owner OR manager of Sushi West is reading this and can PLEASE explain to me WHY for dine in the tempura gets the proper dipping sauce, but to-go it gets drowned in teriyaki sauce? This just does NOT make ANY sense to me!!! Also, no other Japanese restaurant I have been to does this.... just sayin'. Aside from this one "to-go" indiscretion, all the food we have had at Sushi West has been very good and I will still continue eating there. read more

Food was fresh, servings were generous, and pricing was great for what you got. Not to mention, the food was delicious! The dining area was very clean and the people working at the counter were friendly. I would definitely come back. Kudos to Sushi West!! read more

Quick service on a hectic night. I will definitely go again. The staff were very helpful.

The food is amazing and so is the service. It's always clean, they're always playing nice music. They even got more drinks! If Sushi West ever shuts down, I'll starve to death. This is all I eat! When my mom had surgery this is the only food she could keep down without getting sick. You'll love it! Sushi West is bestie for life~ The banana soda? It's so f**king GOOD. Ugh. It's crack. I stop before school and always get a bunch.~ read more

We stopped coming here a few years back. The quality of the sushi went downhill and was not good. My mother, who recently had a fall, decided she wanted a salmon sashimi bowl, so I came here. While I was waiting for my order I witnessed sometging that would never make me go bac. The sushi chef with his bare hands, making sushi, grabbed the restroom keys from a woman and hung them up and then went back to making sushi. I think he should have washed his hands. People do not wash their hands and those things fall on the ground. It was pretty of gross. I will never order from them again. read more

We really enjoyed this quaint restaurant tucked in the middle Bixby Knolls. We split the Wave combo, which contained 6 nigiri of 3 different fish, all were great cuts, and a roll of your choosing. Then the create your own combo where we got the must have sesame chicken, tempura mix and spicy salmon roll. Everything was great! On top of the great food, the staff was friendly and was constantly cleaning the restaurant. Highly recommended! read more

I wanted something similar to Hawaiian food. A touch of Beef Bowl and LL's Hawaiian food. Ordered a Beef with Rice & Catsu Chicken with RIce and Salad Combo. I was impressed on the portion size received. You get your bang for your buck! Food was delicious and fresh. They give free water away as well which tasted clean, not like sink water. They do not have fountain sodas, only soda cans for sale which is not a big deal! I recommend this place, staff is ok.. they don't talk much but they treat you with respect. Plenty of parking but seating is not to much. It is first come first serve. Better food than other sushi joints at affordable pricing. read more

I love this place especially the spider rolls. I have eaten there over the years and they never disappoint.

This was my first time here I was looking for a sushi place. It's a very big unusual menu different than what I'm normally used too. I got the I think it's called a hawaiin roll very well presented for Take out it's salmon avacado on a California roll. I also got salmon skin roll no eel sauce. The salmon was fresh and the salmon skin was smoky which I liked.The person I was with got some special. It was a little loud in there but the cashier was very sweet since it was my first time. Very nice open airy place. Lots of people working there so they were churning out things at a good pace. My allergies are wheat gluten dairy and soy they were accommodating. read more

I have to update/change my rating because my recent experiences were not as good as before. Recent Cons: - Food is not ready on time. - One time, I was on hold for 35 minutes AFTER they hung up on me once already. I was still on hold when I arrived at the restaurant to order in person. - Quality of their Sesame Chicken (threw out the whole thing), Sashimi and the rolls also went down. I hope they'll improve because I used to really like this place. read more

Stopped by sushi west while running errands. Located in the same complex as the Edgar and James goodwill store, right across the parking lot. There is a good size parking lot. Inside, it is fast food like, where you place/pay for your order at the counter. They will then call out your order number for pick up. You also self bus. I really wanted to try their sashimi without ordering too much food, so tried the tri color donburi bowl (tuna, yellowtail, salmon). It is a beautiful dish (with an orchid flower for presentation). The rice was cooked perfectly, with the fish slices on top....and with things typically in a maki roll: avocado slice, cucumber slivers, ginger, nori, sprouts, wasabi. It came with a small bowl of miso soup, all packaged really well. The fish was good, though as always, least impressed with the yellowtail (sometimes I wonder if I've ever had really fresh yellowtail before...all of it seems average). It has a nice seating area, with a dedicated bar for those who want to sit close to the chef while he works. Drinks are from the cooler and there is a self service water station right next to it. It is a large menu and the open kitchen is visible right from the dining area. read more

I've gone here for 10+ years now and it's always been great. Would highly recommend very much a gem of the area.

i don't know if i did something to upset the workers here but the last 3 times my to go order has either not been called or not called at all. all 3 times i've gone to the bathroom right after placing my order when it's busy with multiple people ordering before me. there's no way they finish prepping my order within the time i'm in the bathroom. but all 3 times i've waited way to long to get my order and it's from them not calling my number or just not calling it all. i'm not in the bathroom long and during busy hours i doubt they finish prepping my order within the few minutes i'm in the bathroom. apart from the unlucky order calling the sushi is good read more

Honestly I recommend placing your order before you get there and not consider dining in. Although there's dining area, I came after work assuming it will be quick - I just ordered a baked scallop roll and it told approx 25 minutes. I was warned about the time but honestly I was so hungry and waited. The sushi is average - I don't think I would come back again. read more

Great to go Japanese food. My family comes often. Lots of good options. You can sit down, but we generally get it to go.

Good food. Good service. Prices got a little high these days but the food is still worth the price of admission.

Great spot for lunch. They have really good combination plates with a good selection to choose from. They come with a small miso soup and good portions for a very reasonable price. read more

Great food, informal ambiance and fast customer service. This restaurant has been in business for what it seems like an eternity but the quality hasn't changed. The servings have gotten a bit smaller though, but that's everywhere now with the inflation. Definitely one of my favorite spots when craving comfort food. read more

Reliable ToGo system I've been coming to this place for 10+ years now? I'm glad this place persevered through the pandemic. I still haven't dine there in a loooong time, but these past several years I've only place my order to go, to pick up prior to going to work. ~~~~~Service: Indeed I've seen so many faces behind the counter, but the consistency of customer-service continues to remain strong. There is an online order option through grub hub (see website). But all they need is your name & phone number to place a ToGo order via phone call. ~~~~~Food: I highly recommend the Favorite Combo, from my previous review it's definitely not $8.50 anymore. Due to inflation and all, i believe the price stands at $14.50...still it hasn't stopped me from changing my mind. Included to the Favorite Combo are: - Rice & Miso Soup - Teriyaki Chicken - Salad (dressing on the side) - Mix Tempura (2 Shrimps, String bean, Zucchini, & potato; sauce on the side) - California Roll (4pcs) - Wasabi & Ginger ~~~~~Advice/Miscellaneous: - Parking can be a challenge during the lunch rush. - It always takes 15min till food is ready for pickup. read more
