Japanese Castle

Great place! Love it here. I've been a lifelong resident of Paramount and have only started to go here this year. They have the dodger games so I go there for that, while I have some sushi and sake. I keep going back because it is more of a family place and not loud. Excellent customer service here as well. Other sushi places do not have it as good.

I am honestly so, so impressed. Immediately, the atmosphere and customer service right off the bat are excellent. Having the Sriracha bottle on the table is an A++ from me. Complimentary refills and attentive servers are a highlight as well. Now, down to the food. My girlfriend and I judge a new sushi spot by their spicy tuna. I thought the flavor was right on point; It was fresh and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the baked salmon roll, and the tsunami roll. Our personal favorite was the tsunami roll, it's seriously so freaking good. The baked salmon roll was also so delicious. The only thing was our spicy garlic edamame was a bit overcooked and not saucy enough, but the flavor wasn't bad. The spicy mayo also didn't taste like the usual sushi spot flavor. But those are just 2 minor flaws compared to the many many successes. This place is probably going to replace our usual spot, Kikyo in Bellflower, just on customer service alone (the sushi quality is just as good). This is a hidden gem and we will be returning.

I think if Japan saw the rolls they serve at this place they would sue them and force them to change their name to cheapanese castle! I have never seen skimpy sushi rolls like this where they serve fish the size of a bubble gum square on the roll. Maybe if it tasted like extra fresh premium salmon it could have been over looked but the salmon was barely average at best. The ginger served on the side was so dry like it's been left out for days. The roll must've been rolled by an amateur as it would easily fall apart when you pick up a piece. The shrimp inside my eel roll was stale. If it was a cheap place I wouldn't have even bothered to review it but for the price they need to step it up a lot or call it a day. This was my first time trying this place and i wouldn't go back there even if it was free.
