This restaurant has been here since the 80s and my family and I used to come here about 10 years ago. I have since moved out of state and I just had to visit on my last trip to California this week. I am so glad I did. The quality is the same! Amazingly fresh fish. Do not come here if you are looking for the "Americanized" Sushi. This is traditional raw fish on rice, known as Nigiri. Don't skimp and order the Aki Special (who is the owner and head sushi chef). The Aki Special is his take on the "dynamite" and way better! Baby shrimp, scallops, crab, and mushrooms baked in Japanese mayo! You're missing out every time you go to another restaurant and not here.

Been coming here since the 90's, Aki "owner chef" is the real deal. He buys the best quality fish and his service is second to none. It's a hidden gem worth keeping and sharing. Taking a date or the family night out it's the spot for any occasion.

Very nice place that isn't the hustle and bustle of other sushi places. If you are looking for hip this isn't it. If you are looking for good sushi in a relaxed environment this is it. They are also Dodger fans so the TV has them on when they are playing. Try the soft boned chicken and the miso mackerel on the appetizer menu.

One of very few of my classic sushi haunts from years gone by, it did not disappoint; quiet NOT crowded, and they always played jazz!

One of the first Sushi bars in the South Bay. Original owner over 20 years. Japanese chef trained in Japan. Very rare today. Traditional, good quality, great service. Still one of the best in South Bay.

Definitely an authentic Japanese joint. Pretty small restaurant, but you get the feel of how it is in Japan. Prices are not the cheapest but quality is pretty good.
The chefs make your rolls or sashimis on the spot. Worth trying out.

The quality of the fish is top notch, very fresh. The salmon was buttery delicious. The Dodger roll was bomb. The nigiri piece of fish was huge, you could wrap the rice with the fish. So good. Coming back for sure!
