    Scallop Sushi
    David M.

    For me, the sushi rice is always perfect - slightly tangy and sweet with distinct individual al dente grains. Fresh always fresh and nice variety on offer. Takeout or delivery only.

    Takeout order!

    My favorite spot in Manhattan Beach to pick up and go. This isn't a place to dine in, but they do a phenomenal job of efficiently packing orders. There's hand rolls, cut rolls, speciality rolls, nigiri, sashimi, appies and more. The garlic dumplings are one of my faves. There's truly something for everyone who enjoys Japanese food. Super easy to pull up, park, grab your food, and leave. Ordering via their website is easiest and you won't need to pay upon arrival. I don't think I've ever been quoted more than 20-30 minutes for an order, even during peak dinner hours. Such a reliable, delicious option for lunch or dinner.

    Very slow Long lines with no employees to help out Poor customers service Can't even tell how long it will take to get the food ready.

    Please BEWARE that they set the default tip to 20%!!! So ridiculous especially being a take out only place. I don't mind tipping for actual service BUT to be sneaky and set this as the default %. What are you doing extra that you think customers should pay for this service amount?! Absurd.

    I finally had the chance to stop by this location since it's pretty close to my work and it's a casual, takeout only sushi place. I was very hungry so I ordered the 8 piece assorted nigiri set, and the tuna and salmon maki with added avocados. The 8 piece nigiri assortment comes with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and albacore. The salmon nigiri was good, but every other piece tasted pretty standard. I've had other casual, takeout sushi restaurants around the area and they have a wider variety of fish and are cheaper. The 8 piece special comes around $18.50 for 8 pieces of fish. The salmon and tuna rolls were also pretty standard, a little more on the expensive side as well, but they were stuffed generously with fish and avocado. Overall, I'd say my experience at Yanagi was pretty standard. It's moderately filling but expensive. It's good if you're in the area and want sushi, I found it to be ok.

    Okay, first piece of advice... GET HERE EARLY! We got to Quality Seafood around 9:30 AM and there…read morewas already a line. By 11:30, every table was pretty much taken. So if you think you're going to casually stroll in around lunchtime and grab a table... good luck lol. Now for the important part -- the seafood! The crab was SO fresh and absolutely delicious. The oysters were a little pricey, not gonna lie, but they were definitely worth it. Everything tasted super fresh and you really can't beat sitting by the water eating fresh seafood. Overall, we had a great experience and I would definitely come back. Just remember: come hungry and COME EARLY!

    The good: fresh, flavorful seafood and great lunch/happy hour specials with a fantastic view. You…read morecan get a delicious, hearty cup of New England clam chowder and fish ceviche for $5/each. The pre-prepared dishes are served promptly. The bad: the food/order pick-up system for items that need to be grilled/fried is chaotic. You're given a number to pick up your order by the cashier and directed to the pick up window. There is someone assigned to the grill area and a different person handles the side dishes. There does not appear to be any system of communication between the two areas such that the protein is held under the heat lamp area until the other person adds the side dish (fries, coleslaw, etc) to complete the order. To make things even more chaotic, the staff does not consistently call out numbers when to food is ready for pickup. Instead, the customers crowd the pick up area calling out their own order numbers to see if it's ready. The staff is nice and they seem to try their best overall, but their current system needs to be improved.

    I went to Manhattan Beach Post for brunch on March 27, 2021…read more Their famous Bacon Cheese Biscuit was absolutely delicious, and the Maple Butter served with it was amazing too! The Egg Benedict, Chimichanga, and coffee were all delicious as well. Manhattan Beach used to be one of my favorite places to visit, and I went there quite often back then. Looking at these photos makes me want to go back again soon.

    Met up with family at this restaurant over the weekend. I was impressed with the service, but not…read moreso much with the food. The service exceeded my expectations. Easily 5 stars. Our server was very attentive, kind, patient, and accommodating. For example, when my sister in law asked if there was a kid's menu for her children, the server politely stated that they didn't have one. However, he immediately picked up on the fact that these kids were highly fussy and picky eaters, and offered up buttered noodles, something that was not on the menu. The kids ended up loving this. I, on the other hand, was disappointed with most of the food I had. If I had to rate the food, it would be 3 stars. I ordered the MB Post Burger, which comes with a 1/2 pound grilled patty, American Cheese, applewood bacon, and honey chipotle aioli, between English muffin buns. I added a sunny side up egg to it for an extra few bucks. The burger was messy, and difficult to eat. Ended up having to eat it with a fork and knife. I expected the egg to be a bit runny, but it was cooked all the way through. All in all, it wasn't enjoyable to eat. The crispy fries were not any better. To me, they tasted overly fried. The only thing I thought was exceptional was the bacon cheddar buttermilk biscuit with the whipped honey butter. It was buttery and crispy goodness. This item alone is worth coming back to this restaurant. Overall, this place is a solid 4 star restaurant. If you're planning on visiting this place, I have to warn you that parking may be a real pain to find since the area is very popular with beach goers. Things were exacerbated over the weekend due to a volleyball tournament. Had to drive around for like 30 minutes to find parking.
