i hate to say that yanagi has replaced my former go-to, but they have. to be honest, they might not even exist, because i've only ordered from delivery services, but every time i do, the fish is fresh and delicious, and my orders always arrive early. so i can't account for ambiance or anything else one might experience if they dined in (again: for all i know, they're a figment of my imagination), but what i can say is that ever since discovering yanagi, they are my absolute first, last, and always choice. and shit, i just realized: maybe i'll even order tonight. i haven't yet had dinner, after all. read more

Ordered from here for takeout! I think it's only a takeout place anyway? I got the baked salmon roll while my sister ordered the sushi and spicy tuna (sushi rolls plus nigiri) with miso soup. The soup was generous! They don't usually give you more than a cup of miso and this was around a pint! Sushi was good too. Filling and fresh. Not bad for a takeout spot! read more

The food is incredible... some of the best sushi I've found in the area (and I used to live in Japan). I love that they have modern/westernized takes on sushi but still offer traditional dishes too. The fact that they recognize that goes a long way in my book. This is my go-to sushi takeaway- I only wish they had a sit-down restaurant here in Long Beach! read more

The rice tasted old, and the service was negligent. If you want your children to be ignored and neglected, this is the spot for you.

I was stuck on anaheim street while my car was being serviced at a garage. It was the middle of the afternoon & I hadn't had lunch. Yanagi was a short walk away and I tried them for the first time. I found their teriyaki chicken bowl to be absolutely delicious. the miso soup was a large serving and also very yummy with plenty of seaweed and tofu. It was a delicious lunch! i don't find myself on anaheim street in long beach very often. But this is really good food. the only drawback was, I was hoping to sit down and eat inside the restaurant and they do not have any dining tables. read more

Good quality good price ! even its only take out but the service is outstanding as well read more

First, the young lady who helped me order was super nice. They have a picture menu on a tablet so you can see all of their offerings as well. Second, it took less than 5 minutes to get what I ordered. There is no seating, it's all food to go, but they do a great job with packaging. I personally didn't love the scallop roll BUT the sashimi - oh my goodness! It was so fresh!!!!!! Every slice was delicious and buttery. Perfect texture. Also, their prices are extremely reasonable. I would give this place 4.5 stars if I could honestly because they do such a good job with sushi to go. Fast, convenient, delicious, with a smile. Will definitely be back! read more

I am so glad I just discovered this takeout Sushi restaurant. Searching for poke actually led me here, but when I browsed the menu, I ended up ordering differently and it was delightful. This place is strictly pickup/takeout. No tables. Walk up to order on kiosk (card pmt) or with staff. Staff was available for any questions or if I needed help. I found the kiosk (there is only 1) easy to use. It took about 10 mins for order to be ready. I waited outside with a few others. Tip optional, but I appreciate the choices were 5, 10, 15%, custom or none....much more reasonable considering this is takeout. They do work hard and fulfill orders timely. Located in a small strip mall, there was plenty of parking when I arrived. This is a great alternative to a busy sushi restaurant when you are just looking for a takeout order. Price point was great as well.! read more

Was craving sushi for takeout, and decided to give this spot a try! I ordered through DD, and was happy with the presentation. 4/5 - Yellowtail Scallion Roll - This was decent, just felt like there was a ton of rice and couldn't fully taste all the flavors. 4/5 - Blue Crab Sushi Sashimi Special - This was also decent. Not the best blue crab roll I've ever had, it was a little fishy. The fish portions are thick though. Definitely fulfilled my cravings. Overall this spot is decent for what it is! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Yanagi. Despite the rave reviews on Yelp, I kept my expectations in check--but for a little hole-in-the-wall sushi spot, they did not disappoint. For context, I love sushi and have had everything from top-tier omakase in Vancouver to unforgettable bites. Yanagi falls somewhere in the lower middle, but their spicy tuna over crispy rice and excellent customer service easily bumped my rating from a three to a four. I also tried the nigiri special, which was decent, but theabove average standout was definitely the spicy tuna. I'd return when in Long Beach and in need of a quick, takeout sushi fix. read more

My first order with this business was Friday evening. I selected the pick up option which was ready in about 10-12 minutes. The location is easy to find and there was a good amount of parking. I was greeted by the staff upon arriving at the front lobby. The lady helping bag the order was friendly with I appreciate. I ordered miso soup, dumplings, Philly crunch roll and a baked salmon roll. Soup was yummy! Everything else was fresh and flavorful too. I'll stop by again! read more

One of the best sushi places in Long Beach. Yanagi Kitchen is take out only and it's very easy to order online, and ready for pick up in about 15 minutes. We have been here a few times so far, and have not been disappointed. The sushi is fresh and the portions are generous. The only downside is that they do not sell alcohol like sake to go, so have to stop by the liquor store on the way home. read more

Our favorite sushi take out spot that we've found in Long Beach. Consistently delicious and great quality!

This was a genuinely disappointing rainbow roll and I dont think those words would have ever come out of my mouth because how do you mess up a rainbow roll... the fish on top of the roll was basically .10 micron, the thinnest slice of fish I have ever seen on a roll in my life. I was basically eating a California roll LOL. I know things are economically tough right now but if I am paying $16 for a rainbow roll then let me at least taste the fish read more

Yanagi Kitchen does not miss!!! This is my 7th door dash order with them and 7 is my lucky # so let's get into it! All 7 times I've ordered, I received my food in less than 30 minutes of ordering, the package and attention to detail is top tier, the food always tastes amazing and they never leave out items. I finish everything, every time and I am honestly one of those people who pick at their food and leave food on my plate but not when I order here. My go to meal has been a variation of: Edemame- 10/10 Miso Soup- 10/10 Shrimp Tempura- 10/10 Tempura Philadelphia Roll- 10/10 Yellow Tail Sashimi- 10/10 Potstickers- 10/10 I just realized they have two other locations and I'm not surprised, with this level of service I see them open in every city in CA. I support small businesses and Yanagi is leading the way. They deserve all the stars, I will definitely visit their restaurant in person and leave another review soon! read more

I needed a quick snack and wanted to patron one of the local restaurants, and scored with a 5 star class act. Every dish was beautifully packaged and sealed. The chopsticks, soy sauce and napkins was packaged in a seal clear package. I tried the shrimp tempura it was packed with flavor cucumbers, avocado. Fresh and delicious but the topper was a splendid homemade mayo eel sauce I had to lick the container wanting more of scrumptious sauce. Magnificent. Next I tried the salmon baked roll. Let's just start with how supple soft and fresh and juicy the salmon was. Inside this roll crab, avocado, and I later discovered this wonderful roll was doused in their homage dynamite sauce simply delicious. Completely delicious well balanced proportions, great presentation, attention to care. I will definitely pay this restaurant a visit I want to explore their menu in person. read more

I've actually never been to the location itself, but have DoorDashed several times. The packaging and quality are outstanding! They have killer deals on nigiri combos and fish is always super fresh. Slices are on the thicker side which I like. Each piece is like velvety butter. Rice has good flavor and texture too. 1,000% recommend trying out Yanagi Kitchen for your next sushi craving! read more

wow - thoroughly impressed with this spot. perfect for a night in as they only do take out. we got the miso salmon bowl per our friends' recs and was not let down! big portions with salmon that was so crispy and perfectly seasoned. we went all out and also got miso soup, dumplings with chili garlic sauce/oil, and shrimp tempura roll. the miso soup and tempura roll was mid but not bad. dumplings were delicious!! the oil sauce on that is so good. again, salmon bowl is really good for the price point as well. we will definitely hit this spot up again. read more

Major disappointment! The husband and I wanted some sushi and our usual place wasn't accepting orders in DoorDash. Opted to try Yanagi after seeing all the rave reviews. Unfortunately it was a huge miss. The 12 piece assorted sashimi looked worse quality than what you would get at HMart. Fish were paper thin, you could see the light through them when holding it up. We also ordered 2 rolls, the Yellowtail Cilantro and Salmon Lover. Pitifully small and lackluster. No flavor whatsoever and the included sauce for the yellowtail cilantro roll was super sour. I opted to add sriracha on top for both to at least give it a more spicy kick. You can even see how thin the slice of yellowtail is in the roll. We also ordered the plain udon for our toddler and tofu with spicy garlic sauce. Nothing to write home about. Perhaps if you dine-in the portion size is better? Regardless, we won't be back. read more

Not bad for fast food sushi. Came across this place on grubhub, they had a coupon going on and I thought I'd try it out today. I placed my order for pick up and it was ready once I got there. They have a small parking lot shared with other businesses and inside it was really small. I noticed there were no tables to dine in and it was mainly a grab and go type of place, hence the location used to be a Little Caesars. My suggestion if you are ordering for pick up is to place the order close to when you're getting there, my order was sitting at the counter in room temperature for quite some time. But my sushi was surprisingly fresh and they packed everything you would need to eat it on the go. Overall, I recommend trying this place if you're looking for quick sushi to go. read more

A fast food take out sushi joint. Walked in and staff didn't even acknowledge me. Not even a hello.... Ordered on a tablet, food came out reasonably fast. Ordered 2 rolls and they were just okay. Prices are too high for what you get especially compared to other sushi places. Don't need to come back read more

I knew this place was going to be top notch & it was. First time in, came for spicy tuna on crispy rice- spicy garlic dumplings were recommended & they stole the show, the sauce that comes with the crispy rice is SO TASTY & tangy I loved all of it. The service was really friendly & they were playing good music. I can't wait to try the whole menu! read more

I ordered via Uber eats and was disappointed. Photos of the items looked one way (plenty of fish), but what you get was another. I got the salmon lover roll, yellowtail cilantro roll, and rattlesnake roll. The salmon roll was tasty but really really really was missing like more than half the amount of fish that they advertise. The yellowtail roll was okay, maybe my least favorite (shockingly). The ponzu had a bit of a vinegar taste that wasn't ideal, so it was probably better without it. The rattlesnake roll had stale cold eel on top. Broke apart for most bites. Would be better if it tasted fresher. In general, all rolls are also pretty small bite sizes... so price to food amount is kind of laughable. read more

Ordered take out and I was shocked that everything was so beautifully presentable. They included the extra soy and siracha I asked for. The sushi was so fresh!! Nothing was fishy or stale tasting. There are a lot of sushi places that doesn't taste well and they mask it with sauce but this place didn't do that. If they stay fresh like this I will be ordering once a week!!! read more

I want to preface this 3-star review by saying that this is specifically about Yanagi's sashimi plates. Everything else is for sure 4-5 stars! I have been frequenting Yanagi Kitchen in Long Beach for the last 8 months and I have really been enjoying their food. The quality of their fish is fantastic and the staff is very friendly, which is why I feel bad leaving this review on Yelp, but unfortunately I couldn't find a contact email on their site and their Instagram doesn't look very active, so I'm leaving this review in hopes that Yanagi's management sees this. Over the last 3 weeks the sashimi I have been ordering from Yanagi has been very disappointing. It seems like the fish portions got cut in half and the attention to detail and preparation of the sashimi plates is being done by someone who either has very little experience or doesn't care at all about the presentation of the dishes. Please see the photo my $18 salmon sashimi plate order from today vs what the dish looks like on the menu. I was shocked when I opened the bag this evening. It almost looked as if the salmon was missing. The fish was cut paper thin and avocado was bruised and frankly, not that tasty. I really do love this place and I hope me bringing this to the restaurant's attention will make them take notice and act on it because I eat at their establishment 2-3 times per month and think it's some of the best sushi in Long Beach, but the last couple of orders have made me contemplate finding a new sushi spot. read more
