5/5 - Absolutely Incredible Sushi Experience! I visited Yamashiro Restaurant in Redondo Beach, and I am honestly blown away. This is hands down some of the freshest, highest-quality sushi I've had in the South Bay -- maybe even in all of LA! From start to finish, every dish was beautifully presented and unbelievably delicious. The sashimi platter was perfection -- thick, buttery cuts of salmon, tuna, scallops, octopus, and more. You can literally taste how fresh everything is. The Amaebi (sweet shrimp) was so delicate, and they even served the shrimp heads crispy, which was amazing! The appetizers were just as impressive -- * Crispy baby squid with a creamy dipping sauce * Refreshing cucumber salad * Perfectly blistered shishito peppers * Fresh mixed greens with a bright dressing * And the grilled yellowtail collar... SO juicy and flavorful! The long wooden nigiri board was stunning -- every single piece was melt-in-your-mouth good. The quality, presentation, and flavors are truly next-level. You can tell the chefs take pride in every detail. If you're a sushi lover, this place is a MUST. I can't wait to come back! read more

Came here with a friend post-Pilates and honestly couldn't have picked a better spot to unwind. The yakisoba was fire, perfectly charred, great flavor. The no rice roll was simple but the fish quality spoke for itself. No notes. Service was genuinely warm and attentive without being in your face about it. Good food, good vibes, good company. We'll definitely be back. read more

Not only are the sushi and other dishes fresh and delicious, the service is excellent. The beer tower and sake (they have a great selection) washes the sushi down very well! read more

This is easily one of the best sushi spots in redondo beach! My boyfriend and I came for dinner once Friday night and immediately were greeted with the most friendly staff almost immediately from the moment we walked in the door! The ambiance was so cute while they were playing early 2000s music! The food its self is some of the most fresh fish I've tasted while being here! I highly recommend this place as a staple sushi spot here! I can't wait to go back already! (: read more

As we were looking around for Japanese restaurants open late, we were torn between Fin and Japonica, but I'm SO glad we chose Yamashiro! From start to finish, the service and food were incredible!! My friend ordered an unagi bowl while I ordered the Premium Sushi Deluxe, which came with a beautifully presented selection of fish -- salmon, tamago, unagi, tuna, yellowtail, octopus, and ebi -- along with crispy tempura shiso leaves, salad, and miso soup. It was fresh, delicious and plentiful! That evening, there happened to be only one chef working, but the staff went above and beyond to make it special. They surprised us with a huge grilled ono collar, cooked and seasoned to perfection, and then a piece of fresh halibut sashimi over rice, and even treated us to a tiramisu at the end--that was SO rich and delectable!! Both the head waitress and our server Cindy were incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely sweet. They made us feel so welcome and taken care of the entire night. I couldn't recommend this place more. It's rare to find a restaurant that pairs such thoughtful service with outstanding food. We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in town! read more

How are you out of Spanish Mackerel? No Onkimo? $5 per pc of nigiri sushi that's not very thick? I was asked if I had a reservation when I walked I. And that was funny as no one was there! Anyway the young lady that served me was very kind and was followed around by the owner and I hope they don't run her off by micromanaging her. Anyway with all of the great sushi places in the area you can avoid this one. Cheers read more

I went for dinner with my bf at around 8 pm, and we sat down pretty quickly as it was relatively empty. This is my second time here, and the service is always fast; the servers are nice and attentive. It's a nice, cozy spot with light music playing in the background. The owner (I think was the person who spoke to us) was so sweet and informative regarding the food and drinks. We got an albacore double-double roll, which was excellent and had a nice crunch on top. The star of the show was definitely the sushi burrito! My boyfriend finally convinced me to try, and it is a must-have. It's light and flavorful, definitely recommend. Overall, always a great experience when visiting & recommend if you're in the area ! read more

Yamashiro - Diner Bento 3 Items - Japanese Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Truly one of the best sushi dining experiences I've had -- everything from the food to the service was absolutely amazing. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome and comfortable. The wait time wasn't bad at all, and we were seated quickly in a calm and cozy atmosphere that really set the tone for a great meal. The food? Incredible. Each plate was a piece of art , fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. As a vegan, I often feel limited when eating out, especially at sushi spots, but the veggie crunchy roll I had was delicious and satisfying. It didn't feel like a side option -- it felt like a thoughtfully crafted dish. I genuinely felt like I belonged, and that my dietary choices were respected and considered. That alone meant a lot to me. Now, what really made the night special was the service. Ava and Karen were our servers, and they were absolute gems. Both were so kind, attentive, and hardworking -- they made sure we were completely taken care of throughout the evening. They cleared our plates quickly, answered our questions with patience and a smile, and were always around when we needed something without ever hovering. I felt their genuine care. Their warmth and energy created such an enjoyable experience for me and my family, and it didn't go unnoticed. Cindy, the owner or manager, also came by to check on how everything was, and she was just the sweetest. You can tell she's built a team that cares as much as she does -- it really shows in every part of the experience. The quality here. from the food to the staff to the overall vibe, is outstanding, and the prices are more than fair for what you get. I'll definitely be coming back, and next time I'm bringing friends! If you're looking for a place with amazing sushi, heartwarming service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place. Can't wait to return! read more

We came with friends last year and didn't love our experience (service took forever, they didn't tell us what rolls were what, we ended up missing a few items, and they never checked on us for more drinks). BUT we decided to give it another try on our own last week. Their happy hour is buy one roll get one 50% off; but each roll is about $20-25 which kind of defeats the purpose of happy hour. The sushi tasted great and their portions are okay, but we feel it's a bit overpriced. Service was nice as well this time around. The ambience is really calm, but when we first walked in we were hit by that weird bathroom-was-just-cleaned smell. We got used to it eventually. Probably going to stick with our go-to sushi spot in the Riv. read more

Even the manager Cindy came to greet us, and she was super nice!!! Made sure we were enjoying our food. The place had a great vibe and the lighting was nice n' pretty during the evening.

Asaka is one of those sushi places that looks ordinary but is anything but that. The attention to detail in presentation as well as the hostess (who kept giving us amazing little treats throughout dinner) made our night. We enjoy Asaka each time we come here and all of the customers seem to be repeat customers. We ordered a premium chirashi bowl that was both beautiful and incredibly filling and delicious, and an omakase roll which was exactly that - omakase to the extreme. We will absolutely be coming back!! read more

This is a good sushi option in Torrance right by the ocean. We tried a few of their rolls as well as the premier sashimi platter. The presentation was amazing on the Fancy Roll but my favorite was the Cowboy roll with the seared salmon. The sashimi plate was good but I wasn't a fan of the large portion of Krab (fake crab) and found it a little odd. One star off for not telling us what fish was what (it's not named on the menu and not told when dropped off). We will definitely be back. read more

T'was sushi date night once again with my hubs. Tonight we ordered the regular rainbow roll - a must have staple when we come to Asaka (consistently good)! I ordered the Crunchy Tuna Tataki roll, has crispy fried onions on top. My husband ordered the Hollywood roll, which has cream cheese in it & he said it was great. To end the night, we shared a slice of matcha cheesecake. Asaka always has kind staff and they are very doting to make sure you're well taken care of. Parking around back is easy, even on a Friday night (it's reserved for their restaurant). read more

This is a solid 4 star spot. The food is good. The service is good. The owners are there on site & very friendly. It's modern, not traditional. Nice booths. No wait. Nice area - Rivera Village. Lots of bars & shops nearby. I got the fan favorite sushi burrito. It was good - very filling, with lots of rice. It's enough to make a whole meal out of. The mussels were nice & big. The sushi is good. I didn't like the fried ice cream (too doughy), but the green tea cheesecake is great for a small $4 dessert. My husband loved the cucumber wrapped rolls - very refreshing. Best cucumber wrapped rolls we have had. We ate everything we wanted & spent $200 for 2 people (including a 20% tip). The presentation was 5 stars. Hope you enjoy my pictures. read more

If you're looking for a great Sapporo black beer , negi Hama and negi toro cut roll - this is a go to spot in Redondo beach. Inside there's plenty of booths, jazz piano music playing in the background and a clean restroom. The staff are pleasant. I do not recommend eating outside if it's windy- learned this the hard way. There are heaters outside but we fought the wind to keep our food from flying. The tempura dinner - PROCEED WITH CAUTION. It feeds 3-4 people. Jumbo pieces I was not expecting that. The miso is so so but the yummy ginger dressing on the salad was great. I just wished they added more. I ate my food too quickly but managed to take a picture of the jumbo tempura since I couldn't finish it all . There's two other great sushi spots in the area but this is my go to for beer and negi toro rolls. They have many types of rolls, raw and cooked, some Korean dishes too. I am a sushi snob, but this place was clean and no fishy sushi. read more

Asaka recently updated their menu and have been promoting their happy hour, so I had to check it out. Decent option for sushi but without happy hour I'm not sure I'd return. They have his cool promo of buy one get one 50% rolls but unfortunately it's kind of a scam as their rolls are $22-$25 each, making the promotion worthless. Lots of great options in the South Bay and directly down the street to go to otherwise. Happy hour alcohol prices are great. read more

We were welcomed as soon as we opened the door. Great service and attentive staff. For happy hour the selections were great! Because of their happy hour we got to try a great variety of sushi.

Definitely will bring friends and come again. read more
