Best takeout sushi in the area. We order at least 2-3 times a month for delivery, and it never disappoints. We like to switch up a few items each time, but we've tried and loved the spicy tuna crispy rice, yellowtail scallion cut roll, 8-piece sushi special, spicy garlic albacore tataki, albacore lover roll, spicy scallop hand roll, blue crab hand roll, and spicy soft shell crab, yellowtail jalapeno sashimi. Excellent sushi. read more

Is it me or am I jaded? We came here for take out sushi. We were short on time for lunch. I got a hand roll and a sushi roll. I don't remember it being memorable or anything special. Maybe I am the weird one. read more

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. read more

Delicious food! Convenient location. Easy to order and easy to pick up! Take out only though! read more

Yanagi now adds a "service" fee to your order when you order on line. So now, you'll enjoy the privilege of not only paying $50 dollars for your sushi, picking it up at the tiny window, but also paying an additional fee for patronizing their restaurant. Yeah... No. Back to Osho I guess. Was good while it lasted Yanagi! read more

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. read more

1. Plain Udon - 5/5 2. California Roll - 5/5 3. Side order of sushi rice - 2/5 Best udon noodles and soup I've ever had. The udon noodles texture and the fish cakes were absolutely perfect. The California roll was very affordable and delicious. The sushi rice had too much vinegar. Other than that, I would definitely order again, but not the side order of sushi rice. read more

This is a 3.5 satr review. Checked on yelp and saw the prices were very reasonable for the area. But very disappointed in the size of the rolls. Ordered the Philadelphia roll, spicy tuna roll, chicken teriyaki, and dragon roll. Food was tasty for the part but the size of the rolls were so small. Service was good and fast though. read more

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. read more

My local sushi place where we don't feel like cooking at home. They never fail with freshness, courtesy, and speed, all from a MB strip mall that only has a pickup window Crispy rice rolls, sushi rolls, dynamite rolls, all delicious! Fish is fresh and wonderfully presented. read more

Amazing sushi, sashimi, rolls, miso soup, edamame, you name it. It's only pick up or delivery--not sit down place, but its food is epic. I keep coming week after week. Very fresh fish! read more

Twice I ordered to go sushi, and twice no wasabi provided. Restaurant ignored it. WTH?

Yummy foods, Good place for take out sushi to get your sushi fix. My family loves to order our sushi here.

Just went there and they don't want to take my order ! They should be more specific and say only online or call

I don't know that sushi should be ordered for delivery anyhow.... that said, this place sucks for delivery.......everything is wrong enough where my suggestion would be to quit delivery service! Oh wait, the miso soup was a five star! That's it! It's like they pre make the food a day or two earlier, keep it refrigerated then pull it out of the frig and send out for delivery! It's soggy stale tasting! read more

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. read more

Sushi is good not great, and for these prices I'm going to need them to elevate their game to get up to a 4 star. It's a hard 3.5 but closer to a 3 than to a 4 at present. I got the Spicy Rainbow and the Nigiri sampler. My issue was with the sashimi pieces. Fish was totally flavorless across the board, from tuna to salmon to yellowtail. Better than grocery store quality but that same blandless you find at the gas station. I'm not sure what the deal was, but it made both items disappointing. The Spicy Tuna was good but that's cheating. You shouldn't need to sauce up the fish to make a good roll. Willing to give another shot but I think spade is a spade here. read more

Delicious salmon - I'm definitely going back to get takeouts. Salmon sushi special: salmon was melt-in-your-mouth good, and not fishy at all. One plate was filling and worth it compared to getting each item separately. Service and ambience: takeout only. Not much interaction. I tried calling to check if they were ready as it took a while for them to confirm my order (ordered through Yelp 10 mins before opening). No one picked up. But order was ready when the app said it would be. Prefer there to be less staples in the takeout bag. COVID precaution: masks and not allowed to enter. read more

Good salmon, but skimped out on quantity for the salmon lovers roll with the amount of fish on top. Very thin layer. They would not help throw any trash away or direct us to a trash can nearby. Takeout or delivery only, which we didn't realize until we got there. Food was pretty tasty, except the avocado was a little too ripe. Probably wouldn't come back but did satisfy our salmon craving. read more

Ever get that desire to order a sushi assortment from Whole Foods or Bristol Farms? Ignore it, and get some sushi to go at Yanagi instead. Much better quality, much more fresh, and every bit as convenient. About the same price too! read more

Soooooo good! And great price for the quantity. The miso soup, salmon, and spicy scallop roll is to die for! Dreaming about this place all day. read more

Randomly picked up to-go during work lunch time and happened to be so damn good!I can eat this for days and maybe so can you

I was interested in the Salmon Sushi when we got here to eat. I really do not like Avocado on my Sushi. So, I ordered the Salmon Sushi which was delicious with all my favorite sauces. Nice place, and good servers. My first time here at Yanagi Kitchen. read more

We tried Yanagi this past Monday evening and had a very pleasant experience. The lady taking our order was very sweet and patient with us. The food was ready in the quoted time and the cost seemed fair for the amount of food we ordered. Quick snapshot: everything was very fresh and well packaged/presented for take out. The fish cut is excellent and nearly melts in your mouth. Cut rolls and sashimi are amazing. I would not put the sauce on your sashimi as I didn't feel it paired well but was outstanding on its own. We ordered: Shrimp Tempura- super fresh with a nice crisp. Not oily at all. 10/10 Spicy Tuna Roll Hand-roll - the tuna was surprisingly fresh with amazing flavor -10/10 Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna- loved this 10/10 Chicken Teriyaki Bowls - very good. They offer white or dark meat options which I really appreciated. 9/10 Albacore with crispy onion- loved this dish until I put the sauce on it. Stand-alone 10/10 with sauce 2/10 Yellow tail jalapeño- without the sauce amazing 10/10 with the sauce 3/10 Chicken Udon- noodles had a great flavor. Soup broth was lacking a bit but otherwise we enjoyed it. 7/10 We'll definitely be returning to try other dishes now that we have an idea of what we like. read more

Love this place! I am eating there at least twice a week now. Food is fresh, prices are excellent! It is only a take out spot, but well worth it! read more

The spider roll was what I was craving and was rather decent. The dragon roll was ok, not the best. It was worth the try, still on the hunt for better sushi. read more

We had ordered delivery, and were impressed at the quality and freshness. I have become a sucker for Dumplings with Spicy Garlic Sauce, and these did not disappoint. It was light and the filling was a great consistency without being overly mixed (like when proteins start to get "gummy" and you end up with a very dense nugget of filling). It wasn't really spicy at all. The Stinky Garlic Roll was okay. I was expecting more garlic based on the item title, but the garlic paste they put on top was only on 3 of the pieces (2 of which were right in the front on the picture), so it wasn't consistent nor "stinky". The Garlic Tuna Tataki Special was great! Solid pieces of fish, barely seared, good texture. The crunchy garlic bits on top weren't overbearing. A Philadelphia Roll is always a standard just to get to that last level of fullness. The salmon was perfectly fatty and the cream cheese was the perfect amount to not overwhelm the balance of the roll. We had used DoorDash, but service at the place had the order prepped and ready to go before the estimated time. read more

My wife and I recently visited the South Bay Area and decided to order sushi via DoorDash. Let's say this was the best Sushi we've had in a very long time, with an overall taste, quality, and a reasonable price point. On our next visit to the South Bay, we will be dining at this location instead of using DoorDash. read more

best take out sushi or delivery sushi in southbay n manhattan beach. hands down. must get the hand rolls in addition to the spicy tuna w crispy rice read more

Ordered online and everything was waiting for us when we came to pick up - good food - excellent sushi - will be back!

I'm not a true Sushi eater, but this place makes me want to reconsider. Meanwhile, until I make that leap, I'm content eating way too much of these delish Blue Crab California Rolls until I tire of them...as if THAT'll ever happen! You can modify them if you wish (soy paper or no?, cream cheese or no?, and many other options). Just the right amount of Ginger, Wasabi, & Soy Sauce on the side -- or get more if you like. The menu is vast! read more

service is quick and consistently tastes delicious. also reasonably priced compared to other sushi spots in the area.

The sushi here was not all that good. I think it's just the quality of the sushi for me. The Baja Fresh roll and gyoza were the only good items I got. The scallop roll was alright. read more

We just love Yanagi Kitchen. It is located in a little strip mall right on Sepulveda Blvd. There is plenty of free parking. the exterior is cute and inside is clean and very nice. We love the sushi there. The prices are very reasonable and all of their sushi is great. My favorite is their spicy tuna roll. They also have bowls that are super yummy and their tempura can't be beat. My favorite is their shrimp tempura. It is so good and always cooked to perfection. The service is fast and very kind. You will love it. Have a great time. Note that this is take away only at the moment. read more

Super easy online ordering and pickup! Blue crab CA rolls and veggie rolls are delicious! This is a great sushi spot; probably the most convenient for me currently and great quality to boot! read more

The food is good! My only complaint is that the portion size for the rolls are quite small. I probably won't eat here again for that reason since the prices are not cheap. read more

Good consistent sushi. This is our go to place when we have a craving. The service is fast and the staff is very friendly as well. read more

I usually order from the Redondo Beach Yanagi but my mom wanted a dish from Joey's across the street and so this location was the more convenient. I won't bury the punchline. Next time I'll just go out of my way. First off, man they're rude and I only had an interaction of a few seconds. Impressive. Without making eye contact the guy dropped my order on the card table and walked off. Thank you? And now the most important part of any review of a restaurant: The Food. The tempura was soggy and the spicy tuna was just ok... Nothing to write home about, though definitely something to write yelp about. ;) And everything had a very weird odor. Because I order from the Redondo location every couple of weeks, I can say that everything about this meal was uncharacteristic of how I have experienced Yanagi before this. If you're craving sushi and it has to be in Manhattan Beach, there are other better options. Try if you must, but I will not be back here again. read more
