Hidden gem alert in Long Beach 🍣🔥 We just had an incredible meal at Sushi Nikkei in Bixby Knolls, and this place absolutely deserves 5 stars. From the moment we sat down, the service was warm and attentive (shoutout to Ivan 👏), and every dish that came out was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The Peruvian-Japanese fusion really stands out — bold, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Highlights for us: • Grilled scallops — perfectly cooked, buttery, and rich • Hamachi tostada — bright, citrusy, and super refreshing • Tiradito Nikkei & yellowtail jalapeño — clean, flavorful, and elevated • Octopus fire — tender with just the right kick • Sashimi tasting — incredibly fresh and high quality • Blue crab hand rolls — simple, clean, and addictive Even the rolls (Dusty Roll, Acevichado) were spot on, and everything felt thoughtfully crafted rather than overdone. For a party of 4, we ordered a wide variety and every single plate delivered. Pricing felt very fair for the quality and creativity. If you’re in the Long Beach / OC area and want something beyond your typical sushi spot, this is it. Truly a hidden gem that blends Japanese precision with Peruvian flair. We’ll definite

The most unique and best tasting sushi I’ve ever had! We had ordered multiple dishes and everything was delicious. Our favorites were the lava scallops and the grilled scallops. The lava scallops were so good we had to order them twice! We really enjoyed dining on their outdoor patio as it is dog friendly and we had our dogs with us. One thing that happened was I had ordered the Aburi Tuna sashimi but they served us the O-toro sashimi instead and we did not realize until the bill came and it charged us for the toro. The server does declare the dish that we are being served but we must not have heard her as it was noisy that night. It was not a big deal as it was only a $10 difference and the toro was delicious anyway. Otherwise, service was generally pretty good. It was a full house so all the servers were kept quite busy.

Top spot in town. For was good and the service was excellent. Nothing super powerful, all simple dishes that kept the food tasting great with each bite. The scallops are the best!

Pleasantly surprised with the fusion style, but was good quality fish, one of the best unagi I've had, and the flavor profile across rolls and items was top notch! Highly recommend Shinjuku (2pc Nigiri) Unagi (2pc Nigiri) Acebichado (8pc roll) Blue Tuna Tasting (8pc roll) Ginza Maki (8pc roll) Crispy Tartar (8pc)
