    Most everything. Had a really good first time “sushi” experience. Very fresh albacore & salmon. Spicy tuna roll w/popcorn shrimp was excellent.

    Don't get the popularity of their spicy tuna on crispy rice: it's greasy and lacks flavour but oh oh that toro tasting (regular nigiri, seared and tartare) is out of this world delicious!

    Good deals: Lunch box & Lunch special 13.5$, if more hungry & curious try Platter 20$. Kids Menu 7$ a very good deal also

    Excellent tempura, a good selection of Japanese beers, very good fish and friendly staff make Izakaya by Katsuya worth visiting if you're in Manhattan Beach.

    A good sushi and Japanese restaurant that has a loyal fan base. I've found them slightly inconsistent, but am willing to go back.

    Being at the sushi bar & in front of Miki is awesome. First time seeing a female & she's wonderful. The Toro is yum ! Lobster roll is a plus & atmosphere is just right on a Friday night out

    I’ve been here several times and everytime tried something different from the menu. Menu is very interesting, offering international dishes made with the best local ingredients.

    The lunch special is off the hook. Don't leave without trying the crispy rice with spicy tuna - it will change your life.

    One of the best not-so-secret spots in Manhattan Beach that’s regularly packed with locals and surfers, but worth the wait for its top-notch Japanese and sushi.

    Just opened up this last year. I love the sushi, location, and decor. All the dishes are great. What’s awesome too is the great location, next to all the cool bars and shops. - Jenny, The Arrangement

    Everything here is amazing but you MUST finish with an SPTDC roll. Trust me on that one.

    For the kid menu, order the one with teriyaki and not the burger, you are in a Japanese restaurant 😉
