Sushi Akatora

Hands down the best sushi I've ever had in my life. Sit at the sushi bar and let the chef do the rest. The creativity of his dishes and the flavors were unlike anything I've experienced before, and it's obvious that they take care when selecting their fish. If you're in the area this is a must, you won't be disappointed.

One of the best sushi place I've tried in my life. And I've been to Japan 4 time already but still, this is the place. I will be coming back next time I stop by LA. The chief had good recommendation, professional attitude, great Sake too. I enjoyed it so much I took the chief custom menu twice. Perfect

We ordered omakase, and it was a good meal but it fell shy of being great. The rice was a bit too sour and took away from the flavors of the fish. The most perfect bite I had was actually one where half the rice fell apart and I just went with it. There were some questionable flavor combinations as well but everyone has different preferences when it come to this so I wouldn't criticize too much.

Little sushi place on an intersection near the beach. The place is cramped, but reminiscent of a traditional Japanese fishing village shop. Staff was very attentive, although there were a few minor mishaps with the service. I forgive the spilled miso soup, because the sushi was so fresh and delicious. Miso cod and tempura are also recommendable. The sushi chefs will prepare items which are not on the menu, including vegetarian sushi or kid-friendly dishes. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Manhattan Beach.

Amazing. Parking is bad. The delicious food makes up for it. They're actually Japanese and the quality and taste of fish is impeccable. They strategically brought out the food in the best and most traditional sequence for our tastebuds with the cooked seared steak with foie gras last of course. I wish they had omakase but it was really busy that night. One day we'll try it though. While I was waiting for the rest of my party to come, the chef noticed I was waiting so he made me a handroll while we wait for our appetizers (some promo on Yelp).

This place a gem of Manhatten Beach. I love Japanese food and I went to Japan for food as well. This place serves top notch grade Japanese food including sashimi, sushi, tempura, etc. The sushi men here are proud of what they make, and it shows on their food. Definitely recommended place if you want to eat real Japanese food.
