We went in on a Saturday night and waited…read moreless than 15 min which is crazy bc they were pretty busy when we arrived, but seems like they turn tables really fast. We will come back for the quality of the food and service alone. The atmosphere was just the cherry on top. All of the staff were so attentive and helpful Our food also came out really fast. We missed happy hour by a few mins, but they offered it to us anyways, which we were so appreciative for. We got the yakiniku combo set and pork katsu combo. The yakiniku set was even cooked for us at our table and boy they cooked it perfectly too. It was PLENTY of food for 4 hungry adults. Definitely will come back to try the gyu katsu next time!

Came in around 7pm on Saturday. No wait and it was pretty crowded…read more We ordered the tampopo ramen, salmon skin roll, scallop roll, and Sam roll. 4/5 Sam roll was our favorite since it was the only half off roll without spicy tuna and imitation crab filling. 3/5 The salmon skin one wasn't crispy and it was a bit tough to eat 3/5 Baked Scallop roll was your least favorite. They had a way too much sauce on top of it. If I had known, I would've asked for less. The baby scallops themselves were actually pretty good though. But we actually ended up leaving three pieces of the California rolls because it was just meh 3/5 the tampopo Ramen wasn't anything amazing. Definitely wouldn't come here for Ramen again. But given that it was $13 for the Ramen, it's actually not that back compared to the other places in Cerritos at $18 which specializes in Ramen. The food came out quite quickly, but the waiters never asked once how everything was because I probably would've returned the baked scallop roll. This your standard Japanese sushi spot if you want to hit the cravings. But nothing worth checking out if you're traveling or visiting.

Everything is great quality. Food comes out pretty quick. And the fish to rice ratio is beautiful…read more Decent size fish on top and little bit of rice on bottom but enough to balance the sushi. It is pretty dim inside and the noise level to me is average. I mean it's a big restaurant and it's always packed so don't expect the noise level to be quiet. Our waitress seems so busy waiting multiple tables but still took care of us. Seems like all the waitresses work as a team because every waiter helped us no matter what so we didn't have to wait on ours. If you have any restrictions the menu is very descriptive and has pictures for almost all items. But to be safe then sorry always ask before you order. Me and my dad live in la and every time we're in the area we try to to.

My go-to order is the original spicy beef tofu soup with the galbi combo, and it always hits every time. The food is consistently flavorful, comforting, and satisfying, which is why I keep coming back. Service is also really solid.

Service: Great!…read more Ambiance: Casual, cozy, modern and clean. Food: The best sushi I have had in CA so far, and I live here. I enjoyed my omakase set and little too much, and everything else we ordered. We had so much food since we were celebrating a birthday. Bonus: for your birthday you get a small complimentary ice cream and they even provide a crown for you to wear for photo opps if desired. I loved it so much I came back the next day with another loved one. My new go to spot.

Yu-me Japanese Restaurant is found in a strip mall by Stater Bros, McDonalds, and Super-Mex off…read moreSpring and Palo Verde in East Long Beach. Their menu has a pretty extensive offering of Japanese food ranging from rice dishes, sushi, ramen, and izakaya-style appetizers. My wife and I ordered a bunch of handrolls and they were quite filling here. Their tuna handroll and shrimp tempura handrolls were the handrolls that we'd want to order again. Didn't enjoy the scallop handroll as much; however, they had a scallop sashimi appetizer this month that was amazing. The appetizer had thinly sliced hotate (Hokkaido scallops), seasoned with yuzu and it was delicious. Also ordered a soft-shell crab appetizer and we appreciated the meatiness of the soft-shell crab. While it was sometimes difficult to get the attention of servers, we felt the quality of the seafood was pretty good here. For this reason, this is a really welcome addition to the east long beach community and I'll definitely be back!

The food actually lives up to the vibe too. The sushi tasted fresh and high quality, and I really appreciated that the rice portions were smaller, so you're not just getting filled up on rice. There's also a wide variety of options, which makes it easy to try different things. However, the service completely threw off the experience. One of the waiters (curly hair, light skin) had a noticeably rude and passive-aggressive attitude. It wasn't just a one-time thing--it felt consistent throughout the interaction. The tone, the body language, the way they responded to simple questions... it all came off like helping customers was an inconvenience. It's frustrating because everything else about the place is solid, but bad service like that really stands out, especially somewhere that clearly puts effort into its image. I'd come back for the food, but I'd definitely hope to be served by someone else next time.

So simple yet so quick and convenient! I was craving for some beef pepper rice from Pepper Lunch,…read moreand my cravings were indeed satisfied. Also got the sweet potato fries and the jumbo beef pepper rice, which were all tasty! Service is friendly and wonderful-- servers offered to answer any questions and provided utensils/brought out our dishes in a timely manner. The only downside, for me, is that it is pretty pricey for the amount of meat you're given. The jumbo beef pepper rice is supposed to have more meat, yet I can barely tell the difference from the regular vs. the jumbo. Price point as of April 2026 for the jumbo beef pepper rice is around $19-$20.

tldr; a pretty bad review…read more Ok, I love Pepper Lunch, and I frequent this place at LEAST quarterly. BUT, service on Sunday 4/26/26 around 1:45PM was not it. There was a female employee, a little on the shorter side with dyed blonde hair, bold winged eyeliner, and tats who just really came off as rude. My friends and I came in for a post-church lunch and were a party of 10. However, we all came straggling in, so in bits and pieces. This employee gave us attitude and rolled her eyes when she noticed us saving seats for our friends yet to come. There isn't a policy posted against it, so I don't understand why she reacted that way. After, another employee offered us the large table near the entrance, but they just needed to clean it (a party was there when we had first entered). I and my friends present at the time decided to put our orders in at the kiosk while we waited. So we wait patiently and then headed over. As we were trying to figure out our seating arrangement, the original female employee (who had rolled her eyes) brought out two plates and was holding them. We were trying to figure out who ordered what when she just blurted out "I'm just gonna put these down" in a really sarcastic and annoyed tone and then just walked away. Literally she might as well have told us "your problem, not mine." I understand the hot plates were heavy, and I'm not disagreeing that she should've put them down. BUT, she could have kindly asked to set them down or been more helpful but letting us know which number the plates corresponded to, but she didn't even do that. Literally just set them down and dipped. I definitely felt really angry because she cannot talk to my friends like that. Terrible customer service skills. Will I come back here? Probably because I love the food (portions are getting smaller though). But if I get this girl again, I WILL bring saying something next time to her and management because this is unacceptable. I hope management can address this issue so there isn't a next time for this type of service, whether it's me or someone else.
